"I just don't get it," Mrs. Xu said, clearly annoyed. "Climbing up the back mountain is exhausting. Who would suffer through that if they had nothing better to do?"
She would certainly not do such a thing. Working every day was killing her. Why wouldn't she just relax at home during her rest days instead of wandering to this godforsaken place for fun? It was so boring.
But then she thought that it was her daughter's idea, she could only shut her mouth, not wanting to crush her daughter's spirits.
Third Brother Xu didn't listen to Mrs. Xu. He had been up the back mountain; it had flowers and water, and even a pavilion. How nice it would be to sit there in the summer.
Plus, there were lotus flowers planted in the river--they must look so lovely when they bloomed.
They could also go fishing and have picnics. Just thinking about such days made him feel delighted.
