This servant was bought along with the house. Two servants were bought at the time to manage the house. They were both young, around thirteen or fourteen years old. They were quite clever, but also honest and not cunning.
Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua were cooking in the kitchen, one adding firewood and the other cooking and stir-frying the dishes. They were busy at work.
The servant suddenly stumbled in, making everyone think something terrible had happened.
