Although not particularly close with Aunt Xie, Aunt Xie is, like most middle-aged women, quite the chatterbox.
Aunt Xie finally came to her senses and remembered the main reason she was looking for Erniang.
"It's like this, there's a good thing I wanted to share with you."
Aunt Xie followed closely behind Erniang.
Erniang covered the pot where the pig feed was being cooked, so that when she fed the pigs at noon, the feed underneath would still be warm, and she could feed it directly.
She then brought over a stool for Aunt Xie: "What's the good thing?"
"Auntie, you sit down and talk; I'll go clean out the pigsty first."
The pigsty needs to be cleaned every day, or it'll stink, and the pigs will get dirty too. If cleaned daily, the house's fat pigs are nice and plump.
However, Aunt Xie did not sit down; instead, she followed Erniang to the edge of the pigsty, although she could have sat there and still be heard by Erniang as the distance wasn't far.
