“Sisi is busy right now? Huh! Why can’t I see Ying’er and Xuan’er?”

Guihua carried a bamboo basket and walked quickly into the yard, where Liu Sisi had already cut a bunch of ribbon flower petals.

“The two children went out to play. It’s not good for them to always stay at home. Guihua, come in and sit down. I’ll get you a cup of tea.”

Seeing Guihua arrive, Liu Sisi hurriedly got up to greet her. In the midst of their conversation, she went into the kitchen, poured a bowl of cold boiled water, and said apologetically, “We don’t have any cups at home, Guihua, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Sisi, don’t worry about it. We use large bowls at home too. Those small white porcelain bowls are precious!”

Aunt Zhang took the large bowl with a smile, took a sip, and then put the bowl down: “I have nothing to do today, so I thought I’d come and visit my younger sister. I brought the clothes I made for Zhang Yun, but I don’t know if I’m bothering you.”

“What do you mean by bothering or not bothering? I have no relatives here and always looking forward to having a chat with sister Guihua.” Liu Sisi squinted her eyes with a smile.

“That’s good. I was also bored at home and wanted to come chat with my sister. Are you cutting flowers or something? Your hands are so skillful!”

Guihua couldn’t help but pick up one of the petals Liu Sisi had cut and admired it with a sound of admiration.

Liu Sisi also sat down and laughed shyly, “I don’t know how to sew clothes, but I am interested in making these little things.”

“Your handiwork is so good, and you can’t sew clothes? That’s easy. Elder Sister will teach you. I guarantee that you will learn it.” Guihua patted her chest to assure.

“Thank you, Sister Guihua.” Liu Sisi was overjoyed, and it was a perfect time to use that bolt of cloth.

“By the way, on that day at the market, I heard a lot of noise coming from the Di family’s old house. Did you hear anything?” Guihua asked curiously while sewing the clothes in her hands.

Liu Sisi, of course, knew that it was the day she had asked Di Xuan to take buns to the old house.

“The old house was noisy? We’re far away and didn’t hear any noise.”

“Oh, it was all messy stuff anyway, it’s best not to hear about it.”

As Guihua wrapped up the conversation, she brought up a new topic: “Do you remember that pockmarked-faced woman we met on laundry day?”

“Of course, what happened to her?”

Liu Sisi certainly wouldn’t forget the pockmarked-faced woman who had picked a fight with her that day.

“Let me tell you, the other day, that pockmarked-faced woman was caught naked with Big Mouth Li from the village in the orchard by her husband. How could her man bear to wear such a green hat? He slapped her and kicked her. That rash woman didn’t know shame, she fought back and scratched her husband’s face all over. Now he has scratches and bloodstains all over his face, haha…”

Guihua whispered mysteriously into Liu Sisi’s ear, her face full of schadenfreude.

“What about Big Mouth Li? Why didn’t her husband beat him up?”

Liu Sisi lowered her head and busied herself with her work, what on earth was all this!

“Big Mouth Li is well-known for being greedy and lecherous, even worse than your sister-in-law! At the age of over thirty, he is still a bachelor, with a broken leg, and even caused the death of his own mother. Who dares to say anything to such a bad guy?”

So, that’s how it was!

With Guihua’s help, Liu Sisi finally finished cutting the clothes for their family’s needs by the end of the day, which relieved her greatly.
