Zhu Fugen hurriedly set down the things he had brought and pulled Li Lan forward. "Uncle, this is my wife, Li Lan. She has never left the village before, and this is her first time on a long trip. She’s a bit timid."

Even the cotton shoes on her feet were half-worn, appearing as though they had been worn for years. She stood there looking very reserved, her eyes darting away, and her voice was barely audible when she greeted him.
Lin Yi found it a bit strange but didn't dwell on it, nodding with a smile.
