Yunyi heard this and couldn't help but interrupt, "The Lu Family lent out the fish?"
Huo Jiayuan waved her hand and said, "It was thanks to Wang Qingliu's stepmother, who managed to talk them around, otherwise the Qi Family would have borrowed it all. Instead, both families ended up with half a fish each."
After saying that, she laughed.
Once she had laughed enough, she continued, "Then they went to the Zhuang Family next door to borrow vegetables. Our family was last, and I think the Qi Family probably scouted things out in the afternoon. They likely already knew the situation with nearby houses, and only hadn't come to our house because Brother Lu San was busy in the yard, and his stern face scared them away.
