Are You Hurt?

Zhang Ermu had asked Bajie about the possibility of a blind date with Zhang Yulan, but while Bajie hadn't outright refused, he had made it clear he wasn't interested.

Zhang Ermu had been annoyed at first when he refused his sister. But after some thought, he realized it was for the best. Bajie was ambitious and bold—traits that made him a good businessman but an unreliable husband. 

Such a man might bring a lot of wealth but would likely neglect his family. For someone like Zhang Yulan who grew up under other's bullying and scrutiny, a dependable partner was far more important than riches.

Still, the thought of telling his sister about Bajie's lack of interest gave him a headache. Perhaps his Ah Piao could help him figure out how to handle this delicate situation.

After he reached this conclusion, he focused on the work at hand. He tied up the roe deer and reset the trap. Using a shoulder pole to carry the animal, he continued to his final trap.
