Now that Lian Shouxin's grape wine has been sold, it's time for Lian Shouyi and Lady He to make their move.
Lian Shouyi and Lady He were both excited and anxious, inevitably blaming and accusing each other. One accused the other of having wheels on their feet, and the other retorted that the first had nails on their backside. They both wished they hadn't stepped out; they could have been counting the silver from the wine sale by then.
After asking Lady Zhou, they learned that Lian Shouxin was treating the buyer to a meal in town, so Lian Shouyi and Lady He hurried to catch up, leaving He Laoliu at home to await news.
Just as they stepped out, they ran into Old Master Lian and Lian Shouxin returning from town.
Lian Shouyi inwardly slapped his thigh, realizing that the wine buyer had likely already left. He intended to pin the responsibility for the wine sale on Lian Shouxin and wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily.
