After being busy, Chen Afu felt cheerful and decided to visit Mrs. Zhao in the village.

Leaning on Hong Fei's hand, she led Luo Fang's wife and two guards out of the Luo's estate. They went westward, walking slowly, and arrived in the village within a quarter of an hour, stopping before the second courtyard.

It was a semi-new old courtyard, with green brick walls and a half-open wooden door, revealing a corner of black tiles on the wall.

Chen Afu looked around and realized that this small courtyard was one of the best in the village.

Luo Fang's wife strode forward and pushed the wooden door wide open, revealing the entire courtyard.

The east wing had three rooms with an ear room attached, on the left and right were wing rooms, and a willow tree, its leaves turned yellow, was planted in the courtyard. An old woman was leaning against the door, sunbathing on a wicker chair, and another tall and sturdy woman was hanging clothes to dry.
