Xie Zhinuan trusted Yuanbao, and didn't insist on his staying; she had indeed many things to keep her busy.
After Yuanbao left, Xie Zhinuan turned to prepare dinner. There wasn't much good food at home, so she thought about stewing meat the next day and returning the basket to Old Mrs. Ni, and at the same time, she would take a bowl of stewed meat to her.
She thought of the abundant wild fruits nowadays, but as she was unfamiliar with Xiaohe Village, she didn't know where to find them.
"Auntie Chen, when you cook tonight, I'll take a walk around the village!"
"?" Auntie Chen didn't understand.
Xie Zhinuan had already taken Routuan out the door, heading toward the entrance of the village.
As soon as she entered the village, the place was abuzz.
The unmarried villagers sneakily watched her, and so did the married ones, though afraid of their wives' complaints, they glanced quickly and moved away, only to find themselves looking back a few more times.
