Under the eaves of a house in Group 3, two middle-aged women, one red and one black, one fat and one thin, each had a basket full of corn cobs in front of them, and they were breaking them and chatting.
The woman in red asked, "Have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?"
"It's about the land being concentrated for growing medicinal herbs."
"What's wrong with this? No one agrees to it!"
"Humph! That cadre Huo is really amazing! He actually persuaded Gu Chengrong!"
The woman in black paused and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true! I also think it's weird! Gu Chengrong is such a smart person, he actually agreed! Oh yes, there's more!"
The woman in red waved the corn cob in her hand, quite excited. "Gu Chengrong also helped him and Gu Daqiang to persuade others in the group!

The lady in red sighed, "That dull boy in my house is indeed a good man, but he only trusts the hoe at hand and doesn't dare to take any risks. He won't even bet money when playing poker. It's absolutely impossible for him to hand over the land to Murakami, let alone grow medicinal herbs. Maybe by then, we will be the only ones left in the group. That would be really frustrating!"
The two women looked at each other, both sad and speechless.
"Forget it, pick the corn!"
"Let's talk after we finish breaking the corn!"
