Chapter 171: Chapter 167: Talking Business

After agreeing with Aunt Liu, Xia Lin went to see Xue Jianian the next day. She went early, fearing that Jianian might have already left home had she arrived late.

Considering it was a new marriage, Xia Lin felt somewhat embarrassed when she checked the time at the doorstep; it was just seven o'clock. She lingered hesitantly outside the door for over twenty minutes before sheepishly knocking.

Xue Jianian hurried to the door with a toothbrush in her mouth, and, seeing Xia Lin early in the morning, likely didn't expect her. She mumbled, "Jingqiu, come in quickly."

Without waiting for a response, Jianian turned and went to the yard to wash up.

Lu Jingqiu glanced at the entrance, and not seeing Wei Jincheng, stepped inside: "Is your husband at home?"

After washing her face, Xue Jianian smiled at her and said, "No, he went back to the team yesterday. What brings you here so early in the morning?"

Lu Jingqiu nodded and whispered, "My cousin asked me to inquire if you have any rice."
