When Su Xiaowan and Han Dongchen arrived at the courtyard, they attracted quite a crowd. The children cleared the way in front, chattering loudly, some even interacting with Su Xiaowan. Han Dongchen walked by Su Xiaowan's side, creating a harmonious scene.
Everyone heard from the children about what had happened and looked at Su Xiaowan and her entourage with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Then they thought about their own husbands, who were indifferent, which led to wrath among the women and misery among the men in the neighborhood. Su Xiaowan was completely oblivious to all this.
After breakfast, everyone got back to their routine tasks. When Han Dongchen left, he said that he would be back for lunch since it was a festival.
Su Xiaowan spent the entire morning busily cleaning, putting wormwood on the windows and doors, and washing the dirty clothes from Han Dongchen's training the day before, as well as her own clothes.
