"Sister-in-law, the water is hot, come and wash your hands." Lu Qian smiled broadly.
Li Mai glanced at him, then at Zhou Tao, and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Do you need something from me?"
"Hehe, sister-in-law, how did you guess?" Lu Qian chuckled.
Li Mai glanced at the door and chuckled, "I know what you want, but I won't give it to you now. Wait until you get married, and the dowry I give to Xiao Tao will make you happy for the rest of your life."

Zhou Quan agreed.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing cutting cattails?" Zhou Tao asked as she came over to wash her hands.
