Ye Jiu had just stepped out of the front door when Mrs. Zhang's voice came from behind, "Little sister, it's freezing out there, where are you going?"
"I'm just going out for a walk, I'll be back soon, sister-in-law, no need to worry," Ye Jiu said.
Mrs. Zhang frowned tightly, "It's slippery and unsafe outside, let Qinghua go with you, she can watch over you."
Helplessly, Ye Jiu said, "Sister-in-law, I'm already ten years old."
After Ye Jiu had spoken, she walked out, leaving Mrs. Zhang to ponder and agree with her reasoning.
Little sister's body had fully recovered by now and was not as fragile as before, needing constant care. Being ten years old, she was big enough to wander around the village without causing any trouble.
Turning her head, Mrs. Zhang put the matter out of her mind and went on with her own chores.
