Old Granny Zhang nodded repeatedly: "If it were just those lads from the Song Family or Yao Da, it'd be fine, but having Mr. Jian living so close by makes me uneasy."
"It's better to let him stay in a separate courtyard up front. Besides, even though he's trusted by your eldest uncle, it's still been years since they've met, and ultimately, he is an outsider."
"As for Mr. Jian, just from his looks, I can tell he's a man with countless thoughts. Our people here are all from the countryside and haven't seen much of the world. If they're not careful and say something unintended, the listener might take it to heart, and if something leaks, it will be too late for regrets."
"Of course, I'm not trying to guard against Mr. Jian, but it's better to have some sense of caution. Daughter, don't you agree?"
Wang Yongzhu quickly responded: "Indeed, mother and I think alike. In that case, let's proceed. Have Yao Da tidy up the front courtyard quickly and invite Mr. Jian to move over."
