Filled with excitement, Lin Anshu hummed a song as she walked towards Ninth Master's house.

It took about five minutes to walk there to reach Ninth Master's house.

Compared to other houses in the village, Ninth Master's house appeared small and inconspicuous.

The door was a black wooden door with two round iron rings on top and a removable door frame below.

The door was tightly closed. Lin Anshu lifted the door ring and banged it against the door panel a few times.

"Who is it?" came an old woman's voice from inside the house.

"Grandma Jiu, it's me, I'm Lin Anshu, the second daughter of Lin Weiyan's family."

“The Wei Yan family, come in, come in.”

"Good child, you've grown so much."

"No wonder she works outside; look at her face, she's so pretty."

The old woman who came out to open the door had her half-white silver hair piled up behind her head, and a kind and warm smile on her face.

Grandma Jiu is a little younger than Grandma Lin, but the age spots on her face and the loose skin on her palms are quite noticeable.

Even when walking, he has a slight hunchback.

"Grandma Jiu, she's not as pretty as you say."

Although Lin Anshu was modest, she was secretly delighted.

"What's wrong, little girl? Are you on vacation?"

"Did your parents send you here to deliver a message?" Granny Jiu asked as she led Lin Anshu into the house.

"No, I quit my job and came back to farm."

"I won't go to work in Ancheng anymore."

“My parents didn’t send me here; I came on my own.”

"I'm looking for Ninth Master, is he here?"

"What? You quit your job? To farm? Child, what are you thinking? Farming is hard work!" Granny Jiu looked surprised.

"Old woman, who is it?" Ninth Master, who was sitting in the backyard basking in the sun, heard the voices coming from the front and couldn't help but get up and walk back.

"It's me, Lin Anshu, the second daughter of Lin Weiyan's family. Hello, Ninth Master," Lin Anshu greeted him.

“An’an, your Ninth Master isn’t so old and blind as to not recognize you.”

"Come in, come in and sit down."

Once inside the house, Lin Anshu placed the tea leaves and apples she had brought on the coffee table and sat down.

"Ninth Master, I'll get straight to the point. I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help?"

While the two were talking, Granny Jiu busied herself making tea for them.

"Old man, where is our tea?"

"Grandma Jiu, I brought some tea. Use this." Lin Anshu opened the tea box she had brought, then stood up and handed it to Grandma Jiu.
