When Zhang Shulan heard everything Su Xiaowan said, she slapped her thigh and said, "Why now of all times to visit... Well, okay, okay, that works too. Look, do you see that cave-house at the back of your home? That one is mine. Feel free to drop by when you're free. I won't bother you guys anymore. I'm leaving first."
Zhang Shulan saw the troubled look on Su Xiaowan's face and Zhou Pingyuan's bitter gourd-like expression before finally compromising. She decided to wait and visit when they were more settled, especially after their comrade Gao had returned home.
After saying all this, Zhang Shulan carried her water and left. Su Xiaowan watched her walk away before turning to Han Dongchen and said, laughing, "Dongchen, Mrs. Zhang is really warm-hearted, she even invited us over for a meal."
