Manbao naturally listened to the adults' advice and secured her sleeves, but the awn of grain was prickly, and since she wasn't skilled at the work, even with her sleeves tied down to her wrists, the backs of her hands, palms, and fingers were still getting scratched.
At the time, she didn't feel it, but by the time she noticed, her hands were already burning. When she looked down, she found many red marks.
Junior Ms.Qian felt so distressed watching this, but she didn't have a solution. These types of red marks would heal after scabbing over and falling off, and no one had ever considered treating them.
So following her experience, she dipped Manbao's hands into the chilly well water to clean them before going over to help with cooking at Zhou Hu's home.
There were many people helping out at Zhou Hu's home today, and a meal was definitely in order, but with Ms.Chen still bedridden, it could only be the neighboring women who went to assist.
