After the gathering at Chunhua's Household had dispersed and everyone had helped with the cleanup and returned home, Cheng Su's Household also had set up a table. Even though it had been tidied up, things were still a bit messy. Since she disliked disorderliness, she simply rolled up her sleeves and cleaned everything up once more, inside and out.
Qi Taiguo had drunk quite a bit and was too lazy to move, but seeing Cheng Su roll up her sleeves, he also stood up to help sweep and mop the floor, until everything was clean. Then, they both washed up before lying in bed to talk.
Cheng Su brought up the matter of Hualing stirring up trouble and grumbled, "She just can't stand to see me live in peace. Just when things have been quiet for a while, she has to pick on me. Tell me, do you think it's because she can't have kids that she's taking it out on me?"
