This Cousin Xiao spoke very honestly, and Huo Sining also understood that what he said made sense, so she nodded and didn't ask any more.
On the other side, Liao Song hadn't known about this part at all. When he heard his cousin say that they had planted more than a dozen collectible walnut trees, he was instantly stunned:
"Bro, how come you never told me? I really didn't know Uncle went out like that. And you never mentioned you'd planted walnut trees either."
Cousin Xiao looked a bit embarrassed at once: "It's kind of shameful. My mom's the competitive type, she wouldn't let us talk about it, so most of the relatives don't know. They all think my dad died of illness. Sigh, those ten‑plus walnut trees are on the back hill behind my place. If you want to check them out, I can take you there."
