Gu'er grew suspicious. She noticed that during their conversation, Zhou Feng'er had excused herself to use the latrine, but after coming out, she had gone to speak with her third aunt-in-law.
The third aunt-in-law initially seemed unwilling to acknowledge her, but for some reason, she didn't refuse to speak with Zhou Feng'er.
Zhou Feng'er and the third aunt-in-law actually went over to the doorway together. Suspicious, Gu'er wanted to follow, but Li Zhi unexpectedly pulled her back.
Li Zhi had taken quite a liking to Gu'er and didn't want her to feel left out, so she kept her engaged in conversation.
Chen Juan, seeing that Gu'er wasn't avoiding work or just sitting silently with her head down like she used to, also struck up a conversation with her.
