Make Something of Yourself

After the meal was finished, the old lady went for a stroll in the garden to walk off her dinner. Seizing the opportunity, Xu Cheng went to the kitchen where Huang Ying was doing the dishes. The old lady wouldn't let Huang Ying use warm water to wash the dishes and insisted that she use cold water instead.
Though the weather had started to warm up, her fingers were pale and her knuckles ached from the constant exposure to the cold water. And there were still stacks of dirty dishes beside her.
"Mom, I'll help you wash those," Xu Cheng offered, walking over to Huang Ying.
Huang Ying shook her head. "I would be in trouble if your grandmother saw this." Then, Huang Ying sneered and said, "It's just a few dishes. It's no big deal."
"Grandma is still in a fit of anger. I'll try to talk to her after a while," Xu Cheng said.
