This night, Zhang Shanni returned to the left wing very late. Before going back to her room, she made a special trip to her in-laws' room. She saw that both were sleeping heavily. After carefully making sure their breathing was normal, she then returned to her room with peace of mind.
The climate at the end of September, although the Xie Family was at the foot of the mountain making the climate somewhat chillier, meant spending almost the whole day in the kitchen working, with sweat, smoke, and other fumes, made her feel really uncomfortable all over. She couldn't possibly sleep without taking a bath!
Thinking about her husband leaving early the next morning, a sense of loss gradually welled up in her heart. She fetched water, made a fire, and hurriedly took a bath in the partition of her own kitchen. Afterward, she also brought up some warm water, preparing to wipe her husband's face and body when she entered the room.
