After dinner, Qiao Changshun got to work washing the dishes and heating water. He'd been out for the past few days, covered in dust, and needed a bath.
Today, Qiao Xiaomai bought two more bathing tubs, big enough for comfort.
Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang didn't return to the Tong Family but settled for the night at the Qiao's instead.
Zhuang Luhe took a thorough bath before tucking Qiao Dami into bed and joining her soon after.
At the Zhang's, she was constantly on edge. Now that she was back home, a wave of exhaustion swept over her, and all she wanted to do was sleep.
When Qiao Changshun, Qiao Dami, and Zhuang Luhe were all asleep, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang took a slow bath while discussing the next day's affairs.
The matter of Linzhang Village wasn't settled. Tong Sanlang wasn't jesting about reporting it to the officials. However, they were quite a distance from County Town of Beiyang County, which was why they didn't go there.
