Ye Xinyan walked over and gave a slight nod of the knee to Guan He, then turned to Cheung Wusi and the others, "Grandfather Cheung and Ah Qiao better get back to work, that's all there is to it here. It's just roasting meat in the courtyard, nothing much, let them fuss over it."
Then, turning to Guan He, she said, "Master Guan, isn't it? Our workshop was broken into by thieves last night, and Grandpa Cheung and Ah Qiao need to make some anti-theft devices as soon as possible. We really don't have time to entertain you, please forgive us."
Upon hearing Ye Xinyan mention the word "thieves," Guan He's eyebrows shot up, then fell again. "No worries, I've said it as soon as I came in—we're all family here, no need for formalities with me." Turning to Cheung Wusi, he said, "Old man, you two go busy yourselves, entertaining guests is for strangers, we're family and needn't bother with such empty rituals."
