The old man and Li Zhengli seemed quite familiar with each other, exchanging pleasantries for a while.
"Uncle, where is Xiao Die playing? Why can't I see her? I even brought her a piece of clothing."
"She... She must have gone out to play," the old man hesitated, giving a vague response.

Through their conversation, Wang Daniu learned that the old man had a granddaughter who seemed to have always lived with him, but Wang Daniu had not seen her.
Li Zhengli didn't continue to inquire, and quickly steered the conversation toward the main topic of buying the house.
"Uncle, this Mr. Wang is very interested in your house. He wants to meet you to decide whether to buy this house or not."
Li Zhengli glanced at them both, playing the role of the intermediary.
"Young man, you truly have an eye for quality, fancying such a fine house. When are you planning to buy?"
