Grandma Xu was planning to wait for Liu Fang and the others to come back that evening so she could tell them about it.
However, Liu Fang and her group encountered Liu Daneng on their way back. It was quite a coincidence that they had all returned to the village from outside and hadn't run into each other along the way, but they met at the village entrance.
Liu Daneng chuckled dryly and said, "What a coincidence!" Xu Genshan didn't say anything, but Liu Fang gave a faint reply.
Seeing that the other person wasn't very interested in talking, Liu Daneng took the initiative to start a conversation again, "Sister, Xiaohua told me the other day that you took your niece home. We weren't home at the time. When do you have some free time, bring your niece back for a meal?"

"I haven't even met my dad yet," Liu Daneng said, glancing up at Liu Fang.
He wasn't home at the time. When he returned, his mother and wife scolded Liu Fang severely. Old Mrs. Liu seemed to have no physical problems, but she was in pain and had to rest for several days.
Wu Xiaohua was the same; her feet were so swollen she couldn't walk, and she would curse in bed every day.
"Dan Neng, I've been busy lately and haven't had much time to go back." It's been so long since that happened. If you really wanted to invite someone back for dinner, you wouldn't have waited until now; you'd almost forgotten about it.
“We’re all from the same village, how could we not have time? Look, we’re already in the village now, let’s just go home, have dinner, and then head back. It’s not far.” Liu Daneng seemed a little anxious.
Liu Fang glanced at him sideways, "No, I have a lot to do when I get back. Besides, my mother will be angry if I go back, so I won't provoke her."
Just then, they reached a fork in the road, and the two houses went in different directions. "Daneng, we'll head back first."
After saying goodbye, Xu Genshan pushed the cart and walked down another road.
Ma Hong slowed down a couple of steps and walked alongside Liu Fang. "Sister-in-law, your brother was waiting for you at the door?"
She wanted to hear what the two were saying, but they were a bit far apart, so she couldn't hear clearly and didn't want to lean in to listen.

"Well, they said I should take Man'er home for dinner, but we're busy at home, so we won't be going back." Liu Fang knew that going back would definitely not be as simple as just having dinner.
Ma Hong wanted to ask more, but seeing Liu Fang with her eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought, she stopped herself.
Liu Daneng watched the group leave without looking back, and could only stomp his foot in frustration before slowly walking home.
As soon as he entered, Wu Xiaohua greeted him, "Daneng, you're back?" She then looked at his two hands, which were empty.
"Nothing at all?" Wu Xiaohua said in disbelief.
Liu Daneng walked to a stool and sat down in frustration. "I didn't say anything."
"Why didn't you say anything? What? Your own brother came to visit, shouldn't you bring him some food? You wait, I'm going to tell Mom!" Wu Xiaohua rushed off to the backyard.
Liu Daneng just watched her run over without stopping her.
Soon after, Old Mrs. Liu arrived, grabbed her son, and asked, "Daneng, your sister didn't bring anything back for you?"
The Liu family rarely went to town. At first, they heard from the villagers that Liu Fang and her husband had made some kind of food. Later, when Liu Daneng went to town to work, he saw that the couple were so busy that they didn't even have time to rest. Only then did they take the matter seriously.

Originally, they thought Liu Fang would definitely bring food to the Liu family, but after waiting and waiting, Liu Fang never came. Old Mrs. Liu was furious and started to curse indirectly every day.
Then he instructed Liu Daneng to go to the Xu family to inquire and, while he was at it, to bring back some of that braised food to try. A bamboo tube costs five coins, why waste that money on buying it?
“Mother, no one was home at the Xu family’s house when I went there,” Liu Daneng said.
"Nobody here?"
"Why are you back at this time when no one's home? What are they doing? They didn't leave anyone at home. My son went there and no one even bothered to greet him."
After a blustering outburst, Old Lady Liu started cursing Liu Fang again, saying that the Xu family were no good.
"I... I asked around and then went to wait for them at the village entrance." As he spoke, Liu Daneng's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little uneasy.
"Daneng, what did you say? Did your sister's family make a lot of money?" Wu Xiaohua asked, grabbing Liu Daneng's arm.
She had heard from many people in the village that the Xu family had struck it rich, with people picking wild boars and doing business, and the wild girl they had taken in had grown up to be fair and tender.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stared intently at Liu Daneng, who nodded. "Some people have heard that the Xu family is going to buy ginseng for my brother-in-law." This was naturally something they had heard from Granny Yao.

"Ginseng?"
"That cripple Xu Genshan still eats ginseng?" Old Mrs. Liu looked down on this son-in-law with a limp, and he couldn't send her any wild game like before.
So last year during the Spring Festival, Grandma Xu gave him a cold shoulder and sarcastically remarked that the family's money shouldn't all be used to treat Xu Genshan's leg.
Liu Fang was so angry that she retorted, and the old lady Liu immediately chased her away. It caused quite a commotion, and many neighbors came to see what was going on.
That's why Liu Fang was so reluctant when she delivered the fish to the Liu family last time.
"Mom, my eldest sister is being really unfair. I heard she gave away her braised food to several people, but we haven't even seen a single piece of it yet."
Wu Xiaohua glanced at her mother-in-law's face and said, "This is disrespectful to one's mother."
Old Mrs. Liu said with a gloomy face, "You've grown wings, you've grown wings."
“Mom, I asked my sister to come home for dinner today, but she said she was too busy to come,” Liu Daneng said again. At the crossroads, Liu Fang didn’t even exchange a few words with him.
"I'm going to die." Old Mrs. Liu slammed her hand on the table. "Why did we ask her to come? She's a deadbeat. We practically begged her to come."

"I haven't even settled the score with her for what happened last time, and she's already acting like it's nothing. I'm so angry! I'm going to the Xu family's place."
The more Grandma Liu thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around and was about to leave when Wu Xiaohua revealed a triumphant smile on her face, preparing to follow her mother-in-law and pick up the good things.
However, Liu Neng stopped the two of them, saying, "Mom, those foods aren't worth much. We need to get the recipe from my eldest sister's family and sell it ourselves in the town. We can eat as much as we want."
The woman was too easily swayed. She went there and made a ruckus. How much food could she possibly take? As long as she knew how to cook, she wouldn't be short of food.
"Ah, what the great one said is right." Wu Xiaohua immediately realized that she hadn't thought of this one percent.
"Then we must go! Let's go to the Xu family now and have Liu Fang tell us the prescription." Old Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to leave.
Liu Daneng slammed the door shut. "Mother, this prescription doesn't belong to my eldest sister. Why are you rushing up there like this? Do you think the Xu family will give it to you?"
That was a real eye-opener. Yes, if we go to the Xu family to ask for their prescription, they probably won't give it to us.
"What should we do then?" Wu Xiaohua asked anxiously.
"I do have an idea, but it will be hard on my wife," Liu Daneng said as he walked up to the two of them.
