In the West Wing Room, Lian Manman was showing Lady Zhang the pork rind, meat, and large bones they had purchased, discussing with the family how they should be eaten. Xiao Qi bounced into the room from outside.
"... Just now, grandfather called over Uncle Erbo's family and said that we Lian Family members are all disciplined, never daring to steal chickens or dogs. If anyone dares to ruin our family's reputation, grandfather said he'd beat them to death with his smoking pipe stick." Xiao Qi parroted what she had learned, "Grandfather said, no one is allowed to enter our family's garden below, and no one is allowed to touch those wine jars either."
"Your grandfather really said that?" Lian Shouxin asked with delight.
Xiao Qi nodded, "Mhm, grandfather said it sternly while waving his dry pipe, and Fourth Brother turned pale with fright."
