For a moment, neither of them spoke, all the way until they got home.
Wu Dachuan entered the house, and while Li Guozhi headed out to the courtyard to wash clothes at the water pump, he quietly slipped into Mrs. Wu's room next door.
It was already half past nine. Mrs. Wu had tidied up and was about to go to bed. "Son, did you bring your wife back?"
"Yeah, Mom, keep your voice down! She's outside doing the laundry. I need to tell you something!"
"What is it? What's with all the secrecy?" Mrs. Wu asked, looking at her son's cautious demeanor.
Wu Dachuan glanced outside. Seeing Li Guozhi busy washing clothes, he leaned in close to Mrs. Wu's ear and repeated what his wife had said on the way!
After hearing it, Mrs. Wu's expression was animated as she slapped her thigh. "This is great news! Fantastic news! Son, looks like we'll get some good fortune out of this!"
