Noticing the old woman's fear and anxiety, Xie Ya'er said with a smile, "Granny, today I came to discuss a business with the Village Chief. I wonder if he is at home?"
"Replying to Madam, my son is in the fields. I will ask someone to call him. Please come inside and have a seat," the old woman said and gestured for them to enter.
"Then, we have to trouble you, Granny," Xie Ya'er nodded and walked into the house.
The house was small, but the yard was vast. There were several plots of vegetables in the yard, but most of them were wilted and had yellow leaves.
While she was looking around, the old woman had already asked a boy to inform her son. When she walked in, she saw the noble guest already taking her seat.
She quickly poured a bowl of water for them and said, "Madam, please forgive my family's lack of hospitality. We only have water at home."
"It's okay. Granny, please have a seat," Xie Ya'er gestured.
