"Is Song Yan in the house?" Women's Director Wang Wenjuan arrived.
When Song Yan got up from the kang (a heated brick bed), Wang Wenjuan had already come in.
“I heard from your mother-in-law that you took care of her this morning. That shows you’re considerate. Your mother-in-law is such a good person. You caused her to break her leg, and she didn’t say a bad word about you. You couldn’t find a mother-in-law like that even with a lantern. You should cherish what you have.” Wang Wenjuan didn’t want to get involved in the educated youth’s messy affairs. But what could she do? She was Song Yan’s matchmaker!

Many people had figured it out, only the clueless Song Yan didn't. But only Xiaoxiao and Li Yuanzhao could say it out loud. In the original story, Li Yuanzhao was portrayed as a positive, optimistic, and strong person.
Song Yan hurried to check on Aunt Wei. She wanted to know if Aunt Wei needed water or to relieve herself. On the kang (heated brick bed) in Aunt Wei's room were about 30 eggs and some sugar. Aunt Wei explained to Song Yan that villagers had heard she had broken her leg and came to see what she had brought.
