Widow Zhao's old hen lost her life due to being too talkative.
Wong Xiao and Factory Director Ji also stayed for dinner. At the table, they dragged Li Dahe into a drinking game. Before the dishes were even served, all three were lying side by side on the kang, drunk and foolishly grinning.
Aunt Li came in with a bowl of dishes and saw the scene. Unperturbed, she said to her sons, "Xiao Hai, Xiao Shan, move these three away, don't leave them here in plain sight."
With the three drunks gone, the meal was peaceful and joyful.
Before leaving, Lin Nianhe stuffed five yuan and some cloth tickets into Widow Zhao's pockets, a hush money for the old performer.
Upon exiting, Su Yuncheng took her hand.
He was silent, not speaking a word.
Lin Nianhe turned her head and looked at him for a while, then asked, "Brother Yuncheng, do you have a mission?"
Su Yuncheng appeared puzzled, "Uncle Lin told you?"
"No, just a guess," Lin Nianhe chuckled, "But now I'm sure of it."
