Gu Youyou pretended to fall ill, so she did not make a sound.
Jin Zijin was busy cooking, so he also did not make a sound.
The Wang Family's second son talked to himself for quite a while, only managing a few flattering smiles before he left.
"Then it's settled!"
The young couple didn't say much, but the old Wang woman kept nagging and cursing incessantly until her son pulled her away, leaving reluctantly.

Tonight's dinner was rice with green vegetables, and Jin Zijin even fetched some pickles from the earthenware jar in the corner of the room.
Gu Youyou glanced at him several times, thinking, "He doesn't look the part with his rough appearance, but he's actually quite meticulous, even knowing how to pickle vegetables."
After all the evening's events, Jin Zijin hadn't said a word and hadn't even asked her what exactly happened, leaving Gu Youyou chewing her rice without much taste. So, she helped herself to some pickles to change the flavor.
