Next door, besides having spoken with Yang Xiaocui, Alu had only ever talked to Yang Xiaocui's third sister‑in‑law.
She had just walked to the front gate of Yang Xiaocui's house when she saw the Yang Family's third sister‑in‑law in the yard. Anyway, since they'd spoken once, they were considered acquainted, more familiar than with others, so Alu opened her mouth and said, "Third sister‑in‑law of the Yang Family, is your mother‑in‑law at home?"
The Yang Family's third sister‑in‑law in the yard saw that Alu was looking for her own mother‑in‑law and found it very strange. "You're looking for my mother‑in‑law?"
"Mm, is she at home?" Alu nodded.
"What business do you have with my mother‑in‑law?" The Yang Family's third sister‑in‑law thought Alu must have come to borrow something from her mother‑in‑law and figured she'd probably go back empty‑handed.
Alu just pressed her lips into a smile without saying what it was about, and simply went on asking, "Is she at home?"
