"Alright, you watch the kids while I go take a shower, and I'll come back to sleep with you later," Zhou Xiuhua said, knowing full well from little Ni's demeanor that she wouldn't say anything else.

Yan Jinsu had long known that her mother-in-law was an impatient person, and she just smiled.
Making sure that the kids were not waking up soon, she quickly moved to the bathroom next door, where she quickly drew a bucket of hot water and took a brisk, functional shower.
It only took about ten minutes, at most, to even wash her hair.
