A week before the New Year, Shen Yunfang packed her things, preparing to visit relatives with a load of big bottles and small jars on her back.
"You can leave with peace of mind, I'll definitely take good care of your home," Dashuan's wife promised.
Currently, someone needed to be at home at all times, and by rights, Yunfang couldn't leave, but she also wanted to take this opportunity to visit the big city, and the letters from Li Hongjun were urgent. So after weighing her options, she decided to go, entrusting her home affairs to the care of Dashuan and his wife.
Yunfang's hens were in their prime laying season, requiring daily egg collection in the morning and feeding in the evening. There were also mushrooms and earthworms in the western room needing care, and the house needed a constant fire, necessitating someone to watch over it at all times.
