I miss wife

Yu Mai had no intention of being chased around the courtyard with a stick so he sobbingly committed himself to the march of shame and first washed himself clean, his sister was there to keep tabs on him and when he wasn't able to wash the mud out of his hair and teeth, his sister picked him up and then picked the thing called soap before she started to wash him like he was some sort of dirty cloth. She rubbed him until his skin turned red from all that scrubbing and even tugged at his hair, though his sister wasn't beating him, Yu Mai felt really bad as if he was being washed like a vegetable. 

And after he was cleaned, he had to change his clothes and use his tiny hands to wash the mud off his clothes, a task that was hard enough to make him sweat. 

" Rub it nicely, Mai, this little strength of yours will do nothing to that sticky mud." 

" Use your strength what are you doing? Scrub it hard."
