He asked what he meant by meeting each other and said, "when I was in front of the bitter well, I met my third sister-in-law, who was practicing needlework under the tree, tired and asleep. Children play by the well, three or five feet apart, seems to be worrying. Men and women are different. It's inconvenient to call the third sister-in-law to wake him up, so I went to find my brother.
