In the vegetable patch, Lin Yuan happened to run into Da Qiangzi's wife Loudmouth, and her two sons were there as well, heads down picking weeds from their plot of land. The two boys competed to work, neither willing to let their mother endure hardship. How could Da Qiangzi abandon such a good wife and children for a young and pretty widow? One wonders if he'll regret it later.
"Seventh Sister," Lin Yuan called out sweetly. Loudmouth, who was weeding with her son, turned to look at her. Perhaps in a good mood today, she didn't look as sour-faced as on the day they first met; a forgotten smile still lingered at the corners of her mouth. "Are you here to work, girlie? Look at your vegetables, oh dear, you've been too busy 'fighting' with your eldest uncle and third uncle to care for your crops, haven't you?"
