Hua Xiaomai immediately became excited, turned around, and instructed Luo Yuejiao with a few words, telling her to head home quickly and to be careful on her way. Then, she bounded into her own yard in just a few steps and called out loudly, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, come out and see who's here!"
Movement came from the brightly lit main room, and soon after, Jing Taihe and Hua Erniang came out, one right after the other. As Hua Erniang walked, she couldn't stop cursing, "I think your sickness is getting more serious. Who is so extraordinary that you have to howl like a ghost in the middle of the night? Let me not..."
She stopped mid-sentence, just like Hua Xiaomai a moment ago, her eyes widened into circles, her mouth agape, staring fixedly at Meng Yuhuai, who walked in with a smile from outside the door.
