Auntie's family had come from afar, and naturally, they were going to stay the night, but Qi Fenglian and company were also there, which made accommodation tight.
In the countryside, when guests stayed overnight and there wasn't enough room at home, you'd borrow lodging from next-door neighbors and let the guests sleep in your rooms.
The room at Cheng Su's was impossible to give up, so those who went to borrow lodging were Qi Fengping and Jianguo—everyone was from the same village and could make do by squeezing into the home of a familiar friend for one night.
With the New Year celebration, the weather so cold, and so many people around, Cheng Su was called by her mother-in-law to dig out quilts to make beds for her aunt and company.
"Cousin, this has been so hard on you, we've really troubled you by coming!" Cousin-in-law Liu Wenjing, watching her bustling about, couldn't help but gratefully express her thanks.
