Gu'er and Sun Jiaming went to the Wang Family's home again the next day.
Wang Shun wasn't home when they arrived. Liu Cui was taken aback when she saw them, but she still invited them inside.
Liu Cui told them that Wang Shun had gone out to look for work.
Gu'er and Liu Cui chatted for a bit, but the conversation soon died down. They didn't know each other well, and Liu Cui wasn't a talkative person, so the atmosphere grew a little awkward.
"Please, have a seat. I'll go make lunch. It's almost noon, so you should eat here. Wang Shun will be back by then."
After speaking, Liu Cui went to the kitchen. 'This is so strange,' she thought. 'What are this husband and wife here for? It can't be for a free meal; the money they spent on transportation to get here is more than a meal would cost. So what are they after? Our family doesn't have anything worth wanting.' Liu Cui's mind raced as she cooked.
