Manbao scratched her head, "The scholarly sister-in-law said her aunt is a bit eccentric, but that's all I know."
Manbao waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about them anymore. Let's go play in the fields later."
Bai Shan and the others had no objections.
It's been over a year since they last came to the village.
Not much has changed in Pu Village, except the people look a bit healthier. Now that they're farming Zhou Man's official land, they can eat more robustly, nearly seven-tenths full year-round, and have some surplus grain to sell for money, which can be saved for future marriages of their children.
So when the villagers laboring in the fields saw Zhou Man and the others, they instinctively smiled and greeted them warmly, cautiously asking Zhou Man how she was doing at work and whether her superiors liked her.
Manbao, a bit puzzled, said her work was very satisfying, and as for her superiors... they kind of liked her?
