The next morning, Shen Yunfang got up from the kang with a long face. Someone had been grinding their teeth next to her all night, disturbing her sleep so much that she barely had a wink of rest. It was no wonder she wasn't in good spirits.
After getting off the kang and seeing the mother-daughter pair still sleeping soundly, drooling, her mood really couldn't lift.
She simply decided not to make breakfast and went to the backyard to feed the livestock instead. She let the chickens, ducks, and geese out and soaked several basins of worms that were ready, before heading up the mountain with her basket on her back.
Meanwhile, the mother and daughter at home continued to sleep until the sun was high in the sky before they opened their eyes.
Li Xianghe stretched and complained to Qiu Shuping, "My sister-in-law really knows how to make a fuss. I was sleeping just fine last night when she woke me up several times. I bet she did it on purpose."
