Mrs. Chu sounded a bit breathless when she spoke.
It was clear that Mrs. Chu must have run over.
A bit embarrassed, she looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Third sister-in-law, there was so much to buy, I forgot the time."
"No worries, sister-in-law, I just got here too," Su Yunjin said with a smile.
Seeing a bag of flour in Mrs. Chu's arms, Su Yunjin casually asked, "Sister-in-law, did you also buy flour?"
"Aluo, that little girl, loves to eat wheat cakes, so I bought some flour to go back and make some steamed buns for her." While saying this, Mrs. Chu looked around and, seeing no ox cart nearby, added, "Third sister-in-law, the ox cart hasn't arrived; I'm afraid we might have to wait a bit longer."
"There's a big rock up ahead; let's go sit there and wait." Su Yunjin and Mrs. Chu both were carrying a lot, so waiting while sitting would be more comfortable.
Thus, the two sisters-in-law headed to the shade of a tree up ahead to sit and wait.
