"What did you say when asked about cotton yields? Did you ask how we grow it?"
"Don't worry, sir. We know what we're doing. Nineteen's answer was rather vague, he didn't say anything specific, just a funny thing." The two women laughed. "The villagers are smart. When you ask them, they just say that's how they grow it. If you ask them too many times, they still don't know. The county magistrate was just asking casually, but he was quite happy when he left."

Chunxiao looked at them, and each of them had a happy smile on their face when they saw her. She put her anxiety aside, and the stove was soon lit. The two sisters-in-law accompanied Xiaohua to the house to dry clothes.
