The next morning, Shen Yunfang and her husband were woken up early by the commotion of Qiu Shuping.
As the new bride, Shen Yunfang was expected by her mother-in-law to prepare breakfast for the entire family, a custom that already existed. Shen Yunfang didn't object; she was adept at cooking.
First, she relit the charcoal brazier in the room to warm it up before Li Hongjun came out of the covers, and only then did she, fully dressed, head to the kitchen.
However, upon entering the kitchen and seeing a basin of unwashed dishes on the ground, she felt disheartened, realizing she couldn't escape this chore.
She heated a new pot of water and began washing all the dishes in the basin. This time, no one came to the kitchen to scold her for wasting firewood.
