"You've shed quite a bit, haven't you?"
"Yes, I plan to build up a wall once I've stored enough earth blocks. This way, I won't have to worry about wild boars breaking in."
Hearing that, Hu Chunhua felt even more compassion for this girl. She squatted down, wanting to help.
"Aunt, you don't need to. You finally get a day off, and I have nothing else to do, so I'll take my time. Besides, once this bit of mud is taken care of, I'll stop. I have a hygrometer, and it's been too humid these days, might rain, and then it'll all be for nothing."
"Then I'll stick with you until we finish this bit; after all, it's not too tiring."
How could it not be tiring? Both sisters-in-law are always trying to shirk their duties. I can't stand them, but I can't bring myself to be like them either, so I've always thought about splitting the household. But the mother-in-law disagrees. It's really tying our family down.
