Due to the final selection happening tomorrow, the small diner closed in the evening. After Meng Yuhuai left, Hua Xiaomai checked over the things needed for the next day several times and even pulled Zhou Yunyun aside to give a few instructions before she finally returned to the Meng family's courtyard.
She spent the entire afternoon and evening feeling restless, terrified that Meng Yuhuai would also come up empty-handed, making her absolutely uneasy. To make matters worse, there was an old Mrs. Meng at home who wouldn't let her have a moment's peace, continuously seeking to make her presence felt by incessantly muttering, which only added to the agitation.
"Look at you, just sitting around at home, making Yuhuai run around for you. Go out and ask around; not just in Fire Knife Village but in all of Fuzhe County, there's no daughter-in-law like you!"
"Aren't you capable? Find your own way, relying on a man to arrange everything for you, what skill is that?"
