"Everyone knows that cockleburs won't fall off easily once they get on someone unless you pull them out with your hands. There are quite a few cockleburs on their clothes, and Widow He has several in her hair, too."
In order to let people around see clearly, they even shone the flashlight on the two people. Several enthusiastic aunties and sisters-in-law came over to take a look, "Really, there are a lot of them. Look, there are some on Xu Neng's hair too."

I, a girl who was splashed with dirty water, am not anxious, so what's wrong with your man who has an unclear relationship with his sister-in-law being criticized a few times?"
