As she approached, Second Aunt grabbed Jiang Yi's arm and said warmly, "Come on, come sit at my house for a while."
Jiang Yi didn't want to go, but Second Aunt refused to let go, constantly saying "we're all relatives," making it hard for Jiang Yi to refuse her enthusiastic invitation.
Seeing this, Cousin Lin didn't intervene. He waved the wild pheasant he was holding and said, "Xiao Yi, I'll cook the pheasant when I get home. Don't forget to invite Elder Grandpa over tonight to have some game at my place."
Jiang Yi replied with a yes, and Cousin Lin walked away happily.
Jiang Yi was led by Second Aunt back to her house, and at the entrance, she glanced into the small courtyard.
Second Aunt's house was almost the most dilapidated in the village.
The windows, which weren't very clear to begin with, had several cracks and were patched with cardboard to keep out the wind.
