Liu Sanshun and Mei poured the fish and shrimp they had caught into their family's fishpond before heading back to the village. Along the way, Sanshun was still thinking about what Juhua had said earlier and walked on without a word. Liu Xiaomei, however, kept trying to make conversation with her third brother, thinking he was upset again after seeing Juhua.
_Sigh!_ 'I wonder when Third Brother will ever cheer up.'
That day, the Yang Family's wife went to Xiatang Market. On her way back, she stopped by the Liu Family's home. Beaming, she called out to Liu Sanshun, who was drying fishing nets in the courtyard, "Sanshun, is your mother home?"
When Liu Sanshun saw it was her, he quickly forced a smile. "It's Aunt Zheng. My mom's home. Mom, Aunt Zheng is here to see you!" His smile was a bit unnatural. In short, he still couldn't act completely normal around Juhua or her family.
