"Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Xuexue immediately stepped forward and asked.
"It's nothing, just some sand got in my eyes, a little rub and it'll be fine!" Madam Xie's expression seemed a bit unnatural.
"Then you rest for a while, I'll go hang the clothes." Saying this, Xuexue bent down to pick up the wooden basin, preparing to step over to the clothes drying area to hang them up.
Madam Xie's voice was a bit urgent, "Eh! Don't..."
Xuexue stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Madam Xie with puzzlement in her beautiful eyes, "What's wrong?"
Madam Xie lowered her head, her gaze somewhat elusive, "That… the clothes aren't clean yet!"
"Not clean?" Xuexue lowered her head to closely inspect the clothes in the basin, and indeed, there were still some stains on some of the clothes.
"Mother, didn't you go to the riverside to wash clothes early this morning?" This morning, Madam Xie had left the house with her, only they had set out from different starting points.
