In the evening, Muniang specially prepared a sumptuous dinner as a welcome for Madam Liu's family.
"Muniang, you're being so hospitable that I feel embarrassed," Qiao Yuanming scratched his head, laughing sheepishly.

Even if you didn't come, with that gluttonous Eryang at our house, Muniang wouldn't skimp on the effort. You're here now, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks. Just make yourselves at home."
"Ah, alright," Qiao Yuanming chuckled heartily.
