Xiao Yifeng took out some silver and handed it to the elderly woman, but she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I don't need this. Having you two stay with me brings some life to my home. Just keep me company and chat with me when you have time, and I'll be more than grateful."

The elderly woman was very hospitable, leading the two back to her home. Along the way, the villagers they encountered were very friendly, nodding to them in greeting. Some children even stared at them curiously.

As she had said, the elderly woman lived alone in a small brick house. From her, they learned that her children had grown up and moved to the city for work, rarely coming back throughout the year.

She raised quite a few chickens and ducks and insisted on preparing some for them to eat. Unable to refuse, they let her proceed. Despite her age, the elderly woman was very nimble, bustling around the kitchen by herself, making the two feel quite embarrassed.
