As soon as Zhang Shulan spoke, the two officer's wives behind her complained bitterly, "We'll try our best..."
Su Xiaowan heard their conversation from inside the room, but she could hardly understand the dialect of the two officer's wives.
Since they had come to the courtyard, she felt obligated to go out and greet them. So, she said to Han Dongchen, "Dongchen, you continue what you're doing. I'll go out and see them. The officer's wives have arrived, let me go say hi."
Han Dongchen, who had noticed their arrival earlier, agreed and said, "Be careful, go ahead, I've got things covered here."
Su Xiaowan washed her hands in a basin, dried them, and then went out, enthusiastically greeting, "Hello, Sister Zhang. You're here. Oh, who are these two?"
Seeing Su Xiaowan come out, Zhang Shulan smiled and introduced, "Xiao Wan, let me introduce you. This is Liu Ni, the wife of our Major General Wang, and this little girl is their daughter, Zhao Di."
