So, Second Aunt pointed her in the right direction, but didn't follow her. Instead, she turned towards the pigsty.
Qixi was busy upstairs at the pigsty, Aunt Yang was collecting eggs, and Second Aunt added a couple of logs to the fire, then went to help chop wild grass to feed the chickens.
Not long after, Qixi brought down a bag of rice bran. It turned out that the rice bran for the chickens was gone, so mixing the rice bran with chopped wild grass, and scooping up a couple of worms with a bamboo rake, made excellent chicken feed.
The two also inquired about Yang Zhang's matters; Aunt Yang and Qixi had been with the Jiang family for many years and never considered themselves servants of the Liu family, always treating each other like family.
They knew about most of the household affairs, such as Zhang Yuan seeking their help this time.
Second Aunt didn't hide anything and explained simply, especially the situation of the old widower, shaking her head afterward.
