章 104: Chapter 104 In Demand_1

Qian Yixiu turned over Little Auntie's hand, noting the roughened knuckles, coarse and sallow skin, and the thick calluses that made her hand hardly resemble that of a twelve-year-old girl. Even in the countryside, such hands should belong to a woman married and managing a household for years. Poor Little Bean, she had been helping Lady Wu with the household chores, caring for the young and old since she was six.

Qian Yixiu's nose felt a bit sour at the thought, and she planned to go to the county town in a few days to buy some fragrance grease to care for her hands, as well as for her own mother and Lady Wu.
