When Jiang Hu arrived at Liu Yang's house, only Wang Xiang was there feeding pigs with her son on her back, and Jiang Hu casually picked two cucumber leaves by the edge of the yard.
"Sis-in-law, Liu Yang isn't home?"
Wang Xiang was a bit surprised to see Jiang Hu; he rarely came over to find Liu Yang—it was usually Liu Yang who would seek him out.
"Oh, Brother Jiang, my husband has gone to the fields. What brings you here?"
Jiang Hu reached out and stuffed the clump of cucumber leaves into Wang Xiang's hand.
"I just came to tell you the syrup sold, and this is half as we agreed. Give it to Liu Yang when he gets back."
"I have some other things to handle, so I'll take my leave now."
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Wang Xiang to open the cucumber leaves and turned to leave.
After a moment of blankness, Wang Xiang finally opened the multi-layered cucumber leaves, and upon seeing the silver ingot inside, she instantly exclaimed, waking up the sleeping child on her back.
