Xiaoyue recognized the person; she had run into him a few days ago while picking soapberries. So she said irritably, "Are you blind? There's such a big person in the yard, didn't you see him?"

When Ge Erping saw such a handsome young man push open his front door, he quickly wiped his hair, dodged Xiaoyue, and rushed towards the man, saying, "Someone's here, someone's here."

She stopped about twenty meters away from the man, her face flushed, and asked, "Is there something you need, young master?"

When Grandma Ge saw her daughter leave, she quickly pulled her second daughter-in-law, Xiao Sun, by the arm and hurriedly got off the kang (a heated brick bed). As she went out the door, she muttered to herself, "How shameful! How shameful! There's no way a young lady should go out like that."

As she hurried out, Grandma Ge called out, "Erpingzi, your second sister-in-law wants you to cook with her."

Ge Erping wasn't stupid. Hearing her mother's anxious shouts, she realized she shouldn't have come out. With a face that looked like a monkey's bottom, she hurriedly turned towards the kitchen.

Grandma Ge stood in front of the man, looked at him arrogantly, and said, "What brings you to my house?"

The man remained calm and pointed to Xiaoyue in the courtyard, saying, "Looking for her."

"Grandma, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... It was this man who injured my leg." The man clasped his hands deeply, thought for a moment, and then said, "I was reading in the tree when this man pulled on a branch and made me fall down. I landed on this leg and got injured."

"Xiaoyue!" Old Mrs. Ge shouted fiercely.

Xiaoyue said angrily, "It's been so many days. Even if you injured your leg that day, it would have healed long ago. Are you trying to extort money from me?"
