Chapter 33 Earnest Advice Despite Displeasure

Xia Lan bit her lip and said with intentionally subdued emotions, "Second Aunt, I think Chuyi is also tired. Maybe I should head back first. There's still a pile of things waiting for me to do at home."

"Ah, such a poor child. I'll get Chuyi to help you when we get back!" Mother Xia hurriedly said.

After saying a warm and affectionate goodbye to Xia Lan, Mother Xia turned her head and whispered to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, Er Lan has it tough. She needs to look after her younger sisters too... Our family should help her out whenever we can."

Xia Chuyi shrugged, rolled her eyes, and flatly refused, "I'm busy."

After speaking, she went to fetch water from the kettle to wash her hands and face.
