Peng Chunhua stared tensely at the door and whispered, "Mom, they've come to us, what should we do?"
"What can she know with the door closed? Just tell her it's inconvenient for you to heat water for a bath."
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Peng Chunhua said evenly, "Old Mrs. Qin, I'm here, but I'm heating water for a bath right now and can't entertain you. Is there something you need?"
Old Mrs. Qin thought to herself that she could tell the difference between the smell of water and meat. Hiding and not opening the door, are you afraid that I'll see you stewing a rabbit in your kitchen? Without changing her expression, she said, "The rabbit cage at home is broken, I was wondering if I could borrow a pair of pliers from you to twist some wire."
Yu Feng shook her head, signaling Peng Chunhua to refuse.
With the go-ahead, Peng Chunhua made up an excuse, "It was borrowed by Brother Feng Dafa from the village head the other day."
