There's another stranger in the village, and the Song Family finally has a new employee, but...
It's nothing surprising.
Days of heavy rain have swelled the rivers and ponds, and the furry young grass in the pastures is getting greener by the day.
The villagers are busy planning their own vegetable plots, and Secretary Xiaozu calls them for meetings three times a day... everyone is busy!
Everyone is really busy!
No one has the time to worry about strangers.
The only one showing a bit of concern is Secretary Xiaozu: "How is the new employee doing? I heard she brought a child."
"Pretty good," Aunt Lianhua said:
"She's living in my mother-in-law's old house, tidying up the place with her child when it rains, and taking the child for walks to the back hills when it doesn't, getting to know the environment... she seems diligent, but she's not talkative, so she comes off as honest."
