"Lingling! Are you home?" Tian Tian came to Shen Lingling's house holding a clay pot. Seeing that the door of Shen Lingling's house was closed, she stood outside and shouted inside at the top of her voice.
"Tiantian! Are you here to see Lingling?" Shen Lingling was not called out, but the auntie from next door to Shen Lingling was called out.
"Auntie!" Tian Tian greeted the old lady and raised her hand to indicate the earthenware jar in her hand. "I'm here to bring something to Lingling. Is she home?"
The old lady took a look at the clay pot in Tian Tian's hand. She didn't expect it to contain snake meat. She thought it was something that the girls gave to each other. "I saw Lingling go out with her parents. They should go to the fields. You came a little too late. You should have come when they were at home. No one would be at home at this time."
Tian Tian glanced at the old lady and said nothing.
Seeing Tiantian's eyes, the old lady quickly defended herself, "If I hadn't come back to get something, I wouldn't be at home right now. I'd be working in the fields."
Tian Tian nodded to show that he understood, "Oh! Then I'll come back in the evening."
She deliberately chose the time when everyone went to work, otherwise the streets would be crowded with people, and what if someone smelled the meat?
Tian Tian turned around to leave, but was stopped by the old lady again, "Lingling! I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're not young anymore, you should learn to do some work. You're getting married, but you're still sitting around at home doing nothing every day, can you at least do some work in the fields? Who would want you as a daughter-in-law if you keep doing this?"
Tian Tian looked back at the old lady with a confused look on her face. "Auntie! I wasn't idle at home, was I? Although I didn't go to work in the fields, I did all the housework, cooking, washing dishes, mending clothes, fetching water, chopping wood, feeding chickens, and sweeping the floor. I did all these!"
Except for the time when she was sick some time ago, she could be said to have been idle, but after she recovered, she never lay at home and did nothing.
Even before she came here, the original owner had never been idle at home. Except for cooking, she did all the housework. Even Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo could be said to have been raised by her.
"What kind of work is this? These are the things we do every day at home. Isn't it easy to finish them?"
Tian Tian's face was full of disbelief. She couldn't believe what she heard.
"Auntie! If you think these jobs are so easy, why don't you come to our house this afternoon and do our jobs? Anyway, these jobs are not a big deal for you!"
The old lady seemed to have heard something funny. "What are you talking about? That's your job. What does it have to do with me? How can I go to your house to help you with the work?"
"Auntie, you are not willing to help us with easy work. After all, we have lived in the same village for so many years. Auntie, you are so unkind. I am not asking you for anything big. You are such a hard person to get along with!" Tian Tian curled her lips and said while looking up at the sky.
"Oh! You little girl! I'm doing this for your own good. Do you know that if you don't know how to do anything in the future, you won't be able to get married?" The old lady was irritated by Tian Tian's behavior.
"What does it matter whether you get married or not? Now you just work in a different place. You have to do more work." Tian Tian whispered.
She turned to look at the lady next to her who looked like she was doing this for your own good, and smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Could you please help me find a partner who doesn't require me to work in the fields? It would be even better if he works in the city."
The old lady's face froze. She didn't expect Tian Tian to be so thick-skinned that she could even say such a thing. Aren't girls nowadays blushing and too shy to speak when they mention marriage?
"Auntie! I'll go back first. There's still a lot of work for me to do at home. I'm not as capable as you and can't do those jobs easily." After saying this, Tian Tian turned around and left without caring about the aunt's reaction.
On the way back, she carefully recalled all the characters in the original owner's memory.
Although she has the memories of the original owner, those things were not experienced by her personally. For Tian Tian, it was like watching a movie. She only remembered the people or things that were important to the protagonist. The rest of the minor supporting roles would rarely be noticed by the audience.
If you want to know who this supporting character is, you have to watch the movie again and find out about this supporting character.
Tian Tian is like this now. The village is so big that it is impossible for the original owner to know everyone. The only people she can really remember now, except for those relatives who are close to the Tian family, are the people who have had a lot of contact with the original owner.
Tian Tian quickly went through the original owner's memories in her mind, and finally found the identity of that lady in a corner. The lady's surname was Wu, and she was also married to someone from the Tian family, but she was only Tian Tian's cousin, so distant that old lady Tian rarely talked about them at home.
Aunt Wu also has three children, two daughters and a son.
Unlike Old Lady Tian, Aunt Wu had been pregnant five times. She had a miscarriage once, and when she was pregnant with her fourth child, it was a daughter. She either threw the child away or gave it to someone else. Later, she told everyone that her youngest daughter had a bad fate because she died before she was born.
Everyone in the village knew that Aunt Wu disliked her daughter, but that was someone else's family affair, and they didn't know what had happened to the little daughter, so everyone pretended not to know.
Aunt Wu finally got her fifth wish and gave birth to a son. She spoiled him to the sky. Fortunately, her husband Tian Dagang was a sensible man and did not raise his son into a playboy.
Now that his son has married and has a granddaughter, Aunt Wu has started to dislike her daughter-in-law in various ways.
Tian Tian didn’t know much, and even if Old Lady Tian and the others knew these things, they would not tell Tian Tian, a girl.
It was Shen Lingling who heard Aunt Wu bullying her daughter-in-law at home and told it to the original owner as gossip.
The original owner was not the kind of person who would always pay attention to how other families were doing. She just laughed it off when she heard these things and did not take them to heart. She did not have a very deep impression of Aunt Wu.
Tian Tian knew what the situation was in Aunt Wu's family, and she was not so angry about what she had said just now.
Aunt Wu is like this. She has had that kind of concept since she was a child. What she just said to Tian Tian was also very normal.
Anyway, Tian Tian will not marry into Aunt Wu's family in the future, so what she thinks has nothing to do with Tian Tian.
