Qiao Zhuang's family was preparing to start their farm work and only sent their eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law.
In the end, when they heard that half a pig's worth of pork was cooked, the whole family ran over in a hurry and ate to their hearts' content at Qiao Mei's house. When almost everyone had left, Qiao Zhuang's family still did not go.
"Why are you all sitting there looking at me? Don't you know how to take the initiative to help? Wash the dishes and wipe the table. After you're done, you still have to return them to others!" Qiao Mei shouted at them.
They had invited the entire village over for a meal, but only one person from each household came. There were only six tables in the courtyard, but Qiao Zhuang's family already occupied two and a half tables!
With so many people here, Qiao Mei's house did not even have enough tables and cutlery. She had to borrow them from her neighbors.
