The dinner was filled with heavy hearts, and Mu Shuangshuang tried several times to lighten the mood, but it was all in vain.
Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang's spirits were still somewhat downcast, leaving Shuangshuang helpless to do anything but give up.
She didn't wish for much, only that the words she'd spoken today would open her parents' eyes to her aunt's true nature.
After dinner, Yu Si Niang tidied up the kitchen while Mu Dashan moved the tables and chairs back to the main room.
Then, they each took a quick wash with flowing water in Old Mu Family's outhouse, emerging covered with mosquito bites head to toe.
Summer was like that; when you took a bath or went for a walk, mosquitos swarmed like rain, biting you whenever they could.
Mu Shuangshuang used a bit of cleverness to hang an old cloth in her room, creating a private partition for a bathing area, and avoided getting her head full of mosquito bites.
