Xiao Yuchuan went to the backyard and into the bathroom, picked up his wife's dirty clothes that she had changed out of after her bath, and placed them in a bucket nearby. He then grabbed a handful of soap pods from the shelf, squeezed out their juice into the bucket, and filled it with water to soak the clothes.
His wife's medicinal herbs picked during the daytime were still unprocessed, so he went to the front yard to sun-dry and grind the herbs as needed. After taking care of these chores, he just made it back to the bathroom to wash the soaked clothes.
It was late at night, and Xiao Yuchuan stood at the door to his wife's room, hearing the sounds of male and female lovemaking coming from another side room not far away.
Xiao Yuchuan thought to himself that his second brother was really... like he was trying to make up for the days he had no woman.
