since women can’t do heavy labor. The next day they go and work in the fields anyway. This upsets Sun Xiwan who is left at home to make his own dinner and care for their child. When Shuangshuang returns Xiwan has done none of the domestic work claiming that it is a woman's responsibility. They get into a fight and Shuangshuang kicks him out of the house. While he is gone Shuanshuang and the other women conspire to create a system that works better for the collective. They believe women aren't farming or building because of the non-standardized working system. They decide to write down their solution and hang their advice in the village.
