87th Episode: Under the Watchful Eyes (Part 1)

Several days passed, and the rainy season that had lasted for nearly half a month finally came to an end.

The weather suddenly became hot. The next morning, a blazing sun emerged, its fierce rays seeming almost capable of igniting the grass stacks in the fields. Households moved their bedding and quilts outside to the courtyard to air, giving off a soft and fluffy fragrance.

Hua Xiaomai hadn't set up her stall for a while, and her bones had grown lazy. Seeing the fine weather, she felt a little excited. Restless, she bustled about all day, looking here and there and running back and forth to tidy her household possessions, as well as busily preparing the sauce and soup for the noodles. Finally, as the evening sky began to darken, she eagerly called out to Hua Erniang and pushed her cart outside.
