"Mother, I don't have anything to do today, so I want to go with dad to town," said Lian Manman.
"Old Three is going to the blacksmith, what do you need to go for?" asked Lady Zhang.
"Mother, there are quite a few things that need fixing; if I go, I can also help carry stuff," Lady Zhang said.
"With so many things to do at home, if you leave, am I supposed to do them all?"
"Mother," Lady Zhao courageously interjected, "it's my turn today. Yeye and I will be at home, just leave the household chores to us."
"So you've plotted this together?" Lady Zhou glanced at Lady Zhao, "No wonder you've been so bustling and attentive these past few days."
Lady Zhang was wronged by this remark, but she still smiled at Lady Zhou.
"Mother, I'll go early and return early, and I won't delay any work. Mother, the pair of shoe soles I was making for you ran out of thread. I still have to go buy some more," she said.
