"We have to wake up early tomorrow, you girls should go back to sleep! I'm going to the town. Your mother is acting up again and said she's not feeling well. Doctor Jiang asked me to go get some medicine." Gu shouxin sighed.
"Ah? I just heard first aunt scolding little sister si, why is she taking the medicine now?" Gu Xin asked in surprise.
"Shh!" Uncle Gu made a hand gesture for him to keep quiet. He looked into the room and said, " don't let her hear you, or she'll scold you too tomorrow. Your grandma said that it's a big deal for this woman to be in confinement. She can only do it for two or three days, so let's accommodate her. When she's out of confinement, she can't do it again."
"Oh, oh!" Gu Xin and Gu si nodded.
Gu Nian and Gu Hui were speechless. It turned out that first aunt (my mother) was making her last struggle and enjoying the last few days of her family's indulgence!
