Ye Shuzhi, having heard her mother's words, knew that as someone already betrothed, she should not go searching around in other people's houses. She could only consider involving her mother and younger sister:
"Mother, why don't you and my younger sister go take a look at the neighbor's place?"
Ye Shuzhen, solely concerned with not being able to eat honey, once again proposed a bad idea:
"Mother, let's go have a look. If it really is Granny Li's house that has the bees, we could share in the spoils. After all, the honey harvested from the mountain bees is everyone's share."
"Yes, what's found in the mountains is everyone's share. Let's go over to her house and take a look."
Mrs. Lai felt the same after hearing her daughters' suggestions. Just as she and Ye Shuzhen were stepping out, they encountered two men carrying baskets of rice walking towards Granny Li's house. They noticed the mother and daughter not busy at home but stepping out instead.
