Suddenly, the door swung open with a crash.
Tong Fusheng's eyes filled with hope; he knew Gu Dahuan had a soft heart.
Three heads peeked out of the door – Man Er, Xiao Long, and Yaozu.
"It smells awful. If you don't leave, we'll throw water on you."
As Man Er finished speaking, a maid-like girl came out carrying a basin of water, scaring Tong Fusheng's family of three into running away.
Afraid of being late, they didn't want to endure being covered in water and manure in the freezing weather.
Grandma Gu was sitting at the door picking bean seeds.
A stench hit her, and she looked up to see the three people covered in filth running towards her.
Out of fright, Grandma Gu almost knocked over her basket of beans and jumped behind a haystack.
"Lady Gu."
Mrs. Wang could no longer bear it and, seeing Grandma Gu as a savior, reached out to grab her.
Scared, Grandma Gu flailed her arms: "Don't come near, who are you calling lady?"
