Knowing his wife's personality, Li Lingyun simply nodded and said, "Wife, remember to bring the pork from the kitchen when you go."
Before he could finish speaking, his wife had already disappeared into the backyard. He only heard her voice in the distance.
"Okay!"
Jiang Ziyu chuckled at his friend's helpless expression. Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "It's hard on you, Ah Yun."
Li Lingyun swatted his friend's hand off his shoulder and said, "If you manage to get Lin Meifeng to accept you, you will have the same headaches as me."
"Well, that girl looks more mature and calm than your wife. I'm sure I won't have the blessing of experiencing your headaches," Jiang Ziyu laughed.
Hearing his friend's teasing tone, Li Lingyun kicked his leg jokingly and said, "Stop talking and get to work."
Jiang Ziyu knew when to stop, so after being kicked, he laughed but still went back to work.
After placing the pork into a bamboo basket, Pan Meijia tidied up her hair and clothes before heading to Lu Jueyu's house.
Instead of taking the main road, she used the path near the river. The distance was shorter, and she could check for wild berries along the way.
As she walked, she noticed that the wild berry bushes had been picked clean and sighed. The children hadn't even spared the unripe berries.
Before long, she arrived at Lu Jueyu's house. She knocked on the backyard gate and called out, "Third sister-in-law, are you home?"
There was no bell on the backyard gate, but since the kitchen was nearby, her voice could be heard clearly. Moments later, Li Chenmo stepped out from the kitchen and opened the gate.
Seeing her, he asked, "Second sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
"Third brother, is your wife home?" Pan Meijia asked.
"My wife is taking a nap. Do you need anything?" he replied.
Hearing this, Pan Meijia hesitated, then decided not to disturb her sister-in-law.
She handed over the bamboo basket and said, "Third brother, this is pork for your family. When my sister-in-law wakes up, please tell her I have something important to discuss with her."
Li Chenmo accepted the pork, but before he could say a word, his wife's voice was heard from behind.
"Second sister-in-law, do you need something?"
Seeing her, Pan Meijia said, "Third sister-in-law, sorry for disturbing your rest."
Lu Jueyu smiled and replied, "I was just taking a nap, and I'm awake now. Come in."
The two of them had been best friends before becoming sisters-in-law, so Pan Meijia wasn't overly reserved with her—unlike when she visited Zhang Dongmei.
