Zhou Shuren entered the house with a chill, deftly removing his shoes and climbing into bed, "The weather is truly cold, I'm frozen stiff all over, and the frostbite on my feet had just gotten a bit better, now it's itching badly again, must have gotten frostbitten once more."
Zhulan signaled Liu Ya to fetch the foot-soaking potion, "Don't tell me you've been out in the cold this whole time?"
Zhou Shuren took the hand-warmer Zhulan handed him, his hands so frostbitten they were slightly swollen. He had helped with fishing today, but thinking about how Mr. Chen and Mr. He were in an even worse state, he comforted himself a bit.
Zhou Shuren rubbed his hands, "I was the one who advocated contracting out the pond, now that it's paying off, I naturally had to take part personally."
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren's miserable state and felt so distressed she couldn't stand it, thinking being a good official is hard, and quickly found the potion prescribed by the doctor.
