Gu Youyou figured that Wang Shun should be delivering firewood today, so she had been waiting.
There was a pile of fabric on the bed, prepared in advance by Gu Youyou. After Wang Shun had stacked the firewood, she called him over, "Shunzi, come here."
"What's the matter?" Wang Shun asked, puzzled, but hurried over nonetheless.
"Shunzi, are you free today? If you are, please help your sister out!"
Wang Shun was the typical honest villager. Feeling embarrassed when Gu Youyou said this, he replied hurriedly, "Sister, just tell me what you need; I'm free. There isn't much farm work to do right now, I'm very free."
Gu Youyou sighed, "Didn't I say not to call me 'sister-in-law'? Just 'sister' will do."
Gu Youyou was two or three years older than Wang Shun, who was of age to speak of marriage.
She felt that sooner or later she and Jin Zijin would have to part ways, as they weren't cut from the same cloth, so she didn't like being called 'sister-in-law'.
