Lin Chang'an was frustrated by Liu Aniu's interference, originally planning to complain to Dongjia once he returned. But seeing Dongjia's attitude, he realized Liu Aniu's staying was likely Dongjia's decision, so he dared not say more. Yet, he was truly annoyed, wondering when this simpleton had gained Dongjia's favor. The man had no insight and only cared about working the fields; how could he be someone capable of handling matters? He couldn't understand what Dongjia saw in him.
"Nonsense! Liu Aniu is home watching over things because I asked him to. It seems to me it's not him, but you who's plotting something. Why else would you stick around when everyone else went to the shrine?" Zhao Erhu was looking to vent his anger from his dispute with Jiang Ziqi, and he lashed out at Lin Chang'an fiercely.
