Baise didn't answer, but asked, "Can a carriage go into the alley?"
“Yes, that’s fine. Uncle Tie Yi lives at the last house in the alley.” Ye Yunniang pointed the way and arrived at the Tie family’s door.
Unfortunately, Tie Yi wasn't home; only Tie Xiong was.
"How will your sister-in-law come over?"
"I'm bringing your aunt to see her future new home," Ye Yunniang said, making way for Baise behind her.
Tie Xiong stepped forward and bowed, "Tie Xiong greets Auntie."

Qiu Fang sat at the door doing needlework and invited Ye Yunniang to sit for a while.
Ye Yunniang declined, saying she had just returned from outside and needed to go home.
Qiu Fang persisted.
"Qiufang, is there something you want to say?"
"I have nothing else to say, I just wanted to thank you." Qiu Fang's words puzzled Ye Yunniang.
"Thank me for what?"
