Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Yunfang got up, she woke her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law, too. She had cheerfully given them money, so they had to stand the last watch properly.
Qiu Shuping and Li Xianghe didn't say much; they followed Shen Yunfang to the fields in the morning to harvest soybeans. By the end of the morning, the three of them pushed a cart full of soybean stalks back home.
During breakfast, Li Xianghe nudged Qiu Shuping, signaling her to speak up quickly.
Qiu Shuping gave the girl a glance, then said to her daughter-in-law, who was eating quietly, "Yunfang, after a while your sister and I will head back home. I'm also worried about your father being alone at home these days, and besides, there's work related to Hongqi that I need to take care of, so I have to hurry back and tend to him."
