Feng Jiu emerged from the tent and put away the small tent, while the girl next to her continued to chatter...
When the elderly man beside the carriage saw the couple approaching, he asked, "Are you going to take the young man with you?" As he observed the figure folding the small tent.
The middle-aged man turned around and remarked, "The young man appeared rather ordinary. His appearance shows he is simple and honest. I can see that he is merely a commoner child with a little cultivation. He is also mute and unable to speak. Also, Little Shi is quite fond of him. I figured I would take him with us in the journey, have him sit outside with the coachman, and let him leave once we reached the city."
The kid did not appear to represent any danger to them. Given that his wife and daughter wished to help him, he would consent.
The elderly man nodded his head. "Tell them to board the carriage!" Upon saying this, he entered the carriage first.
