The young woman's eyes lit up and she asked Xia Xiao, "Where is your home?"
Xia Xiao hesitated, troubled, "Auntie, I can't say that, otherwise if someone catches me, I'll just deliver it to your house."
"Okay, my home is just here, you can come here to find me." The young woman pointed to a door three meters away.
Xia Xiao nodded and then left.
About ten minutes later, Xia Xiao, carrying a pheasant, knocked on the young woman's door. As soon as the young woman opened the door, she looked outside and whispered, "Come in."
Xia Xiao saw the baby clothes drying and guessed correctly—the woman must be in confinement and, besides the woman, there was also a little girl around two years old and a baby at home with no one to care for them.
Could it be that the woman had given birth to a daughter and was disdained by her in-laws? Xia Xiao wondered to himself.
"Lad, what's your name?" the woman asked.
