Her heart immediately leapt to her throat, and before she realized it, she had dashed out.
With nothing handy in her hands, she spotted the basin of dirty water her mom used to wash her feet in the main room.
She picked it up and rushed outside.
Liu Cuilan was just dozing off, and groggily opened her eyes to see her third daughter charging out with an enamel basin.
The family was thrifty, saving the foot-washing water for watering the vegetables. But why water the plants at this late hour?
Before she could figure it out, she saw her third daughter fling the courtyard door open and splash the entire basin of water outside.
Su Xiaoxiao deliberately aimed the basin toward the west wall corner.
A sneaky head had just peeked out, and she poured the whole bucket of water down on it. The person yelped instinctively, but was quickly silenced as a partner behind them clamped their mouth shut.
"Quiet down, are you trying to draw everyone's attention?"
"Mmmph mmmph..."
