Gao Hong seemed to let out a sigh of relief and quickly left.
When she got home and barely stepped through the door, Mrs. Cui pulled her over and demanded, "Well? Did that woman say anything?"
Mrs. Cui, who worked tirelessly all year round and had strong hands, didn't even let Gao Hong admit she was in pain despite it being severe. Gao Hong nodded hastily, "Mother, she...she did say, I made things clear to her. She didn't pursue the matter further, just said that in the future I must tell her..."
Hearing what she wanted to hear, Mrs. Cui let her daughter-in-law go, but couldn't help venting, "It was just a bit of water from her, and she had to get stingy about it. Beautiful women are always the cruel ones. Such a person, you should keep your distance from her in the future!"
Gao Hong bowed her head, "I understand, Mother. I'll get some water for you to soak your feet."
Mrs. Cui hummed indifferently, instructing her, "Call the two boys back and give them a bath."
