The two sisters were sitting in front of the well, processing sea cucumbers, when a woman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old led in a boy with greasy sleeves.

"Xiuer, I heard Fangfang and her brother-in-law are here?"

Xiuxiu lowered her head, too lazy to pay attention to her.

Lu Fangfang stood up and looked at the unfamiliar woman. She had already guessed who this person was.

"Second sister-in-law."

"Oh my, Fangfang, I've finally met you in person!"

Zhang Hongmei slapped her thigh and pulled her son forward quickly, saying, "Da Mao, quickly call her aunt."

"aunt."

As soon as her son finished shouting, Zhang Hongmei stared nakedly at Lu Fangfang, waiting for her to express her opinion.

She had heard that Fangfang and her brother-in-law only earned a little over two hundred yuan a month, but they were a wealthy family, and even a small amount saved up was enough to make her happy.

"Your name is Da Mao? Come on in and play with your cousins. It's warm inside."

Da Mao was already shivering from the cold, and upon hearing this, he immediately ran into the house.

"Hey? Big Mao?"

Seeing her mentally challenged son run away, Zhang Hongmei stamped her foot in frustration.

Looking back at the contents of the basin, her eyes lit up. "Fangfang, what's this?"

"Sea cucumbers are very expensive, Second Sister-in-law, do you have time?"

Yes, yes, yes.

Without Lu Fangfang's prompting, Zhang Hongmei immediately grabbed a stool, sat down in front of the large basin, and began to learn how to process the food.

"Second sister-in-law, cut open one end, then forcefully squeeze the contents of the sea cucumber out."

Lu Fangfang patiently taught Zhang Hongmei.

Sea cucumbers are quite troublesome to process, and squeezing them can be a bit disgusting. Since there's free labor available, why not take advantage of it?
