"Alright! Hurry up and wash these clothes. I still have to go pick some vegetables. I've gained nothing from marrying you. You haven't even laid an egg in all these years of marriage!"
After saying that, Aunt Huang threw the clothes into the basin, and most of the water in the basin splashed out immediately, scaring the chickens pecking at the food nearby and making them fly away. Then she went back to the house.
Zhang Lanru was left there wiping her tears and sitting down to wash clothes without saying a word.
The large basins for washing clothes were placed on the ground, and even the stools were very low, so you had to lie down with your whole body to have an advantage.
Zhang Lanru had stomach discomfort, so her posture when washing clothes was awkward.
Tian Tian was a little confused. Why did she feel that Zhang Lanru who was being scolded in the yard was different from Zhang Lanru who was competing with her to fetch water?
When I was with her, Zhang Lanru was quite gentle and looked quite lively.
When Zhang Lanru is with Aunt Huang, she looks like a bullied young wife.
She must have been badly bullied by Aunt Huang. How could a pregnant woman be forced to do laundry? It's obvious that Aunt Huang is a vicious mother-in-law.
Although Tian Tian was very angry about Aunt Huang's behavior, she also knew that this was not a matter she could interfere with.
First of all, she is an outsider and has no control over other people.
Besides, she was the younger generation and had no right to speak, so no matter what Aunt Huang did, she had to call her Aunt.
And the Huang family’s affairs are quite complicated.
Zhang Lanru's original family background was quite good. Her father was an literate man, and she was the only daughter in the family. Her parents doted on her very much.
Although her grandmother didn't like her as a granddaughter, she couldn't do anything because Zhang's father was in the way.
As a result, famine came and every household was hungry. This was normal, but Zhang Lanru's father was too weak and fell ill after being hungry for a period of time. He died within two days.
Zhang Lanru's mother was also a person without her own opinion. When Zhang's father passed away, her parents advised her to remarry, saying that they would find her a rich family who could provide her and Zhang Lanru with enough food.
At that time, her mother was cornered by Grandma Zhang, who pointed at her nose and scolded her for killing Zhang's father.
Zhang Lanru's mother couldn't stand it, but also wanted Zhang Lanru to have enough food to eat, so she remarried and took her with her.
As a result, the man she married later was not a good person. He was not kind to both her and her daughter. He forced Zhang Lanru's mother to work and did not give her any food.
Aunt Zhang died soon after from overwork.
After her death, Zhang Lanru was sold to the Huang family by her stepfather in exchange for 30 kilograms of grain.
When Zhang Lanru first got married, Aunt Huang loved her very much because she was pretty and worked efficiently.
As a result, after being married for ten years, she still hadn't given birth to a child for the Huang family, and Aunt Huang started to think that her eyes and nose were no longer the same.
When Zhang Lanru got pregnant, Aunt Huang was quite happy at first. She specially killed a chicken to nourish her body. The fragrance was so strong that they could smell it through the two vegetable fields between them.
No one knew what happened later, but suddenly one day Aunt Huang started to dislike Zhang Lanru.
Not only did he make her do heavy work every day, but he also often scolded her.
On the surface, this seems to be Aunt Huang's problem, but Tian Tian doesn't know what the situation is in private.
I'd better talk to her grandmother about it later. She has been in the team for so many years and she must know what happened.
Tian Tian made up her mind not to look at Zhang Lanru who was wiping tears and washing clothes.
She put the hairband in her arms and walked quietly along the wall.
After walking a little further away from the Huang family, she stood up and went to Shen Lingling's house openly.
Fortunately, she went there at the right time. Shen Lingling was carrying a large basin to the river to wash clothes.
If Tian Tian had arrived a little later, she would not have been able to find Shen Lingling.
"Lingling! Are you going to wash clothes?" Tian Tian saw her from a distance and hurriedly trotted over.
"Tiantian! I wore these clothes during the autumn harvest and they all smell of sweat. I'm going to the river to get some fresh air!" Shen Lingling said.
"What do you want to see me about?"
"Didn't you ask me to make you something unique? I made it last night and brought it to you today specially." As she said that, Tian Tian took out a neatly folded headband from her arms and handed it to Shen Lingling.
When Shen Lingling heard this, she immediately put the big basin on the ground, reached out to take my hairband and looked at it carefully.
"Your sewing is very nice, but what is this thing used for?"
"For tying hair!" Tian Tian took the headband and demonstrated it on her own hair.
"You can also braid it into your hair, it will look really nice."
In her previous life, Tian Tian also had a period of crazy obsession with daydreaming, and she even watched a lot of hairstyle tutorials for this purpose.
But she has clumsy hands and can only use hairbands to braid her hair. She can never learn other tricks even if you beat her to death.
Shen Lingling was very curious after listening to this. She stopped washing clothes and pulled Tian Tian into the house and started learning the new use of the headband.
Tian Tian used a hairband to braid Shen Lingling's hair, and then pulled it to make it a little more fluffy.
The pink headband is faintly visible among the black hair, which really has that meaning.
Tian Tian looked at the headband with some regret. Silk headbands and cloth headbands are different. Cloth headbands look bulky, while silk headbands are much more flowing and light.
Shen Lingling really liked this headband. She looked at it left and right in the mirror and was extremely happy.
She then pulled Tian Tian aside to teach her how to braid hair, and only let Tian Tian go after she had learned it well.
"We agreed that this headband is made for me alone. You are not allowed to make it for anyone else, not even your sister Tian Yun." While being happy, Shen Lingling did not forget to verbally warn Tian Tian.
Tian Tian nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "Don't worry, you are the only one in the whole team who has this headband, I will never make it for anyone else!"
Tian Tian said it very seriously, almost raising her finger to swear.
Shen Lingling nodded in satisfaction. "Okay! I won't play with you anymore. I still have to go to the river to wash clothes. I'll come to play with you after I finish washing clothes."
Tian Tian nodded. She also had to go home. There was a lot of work to do at home. As a member of the Tian family, she definitely couldn't be lazy.
Moreover, she was still concerned about Zhang Lanru and planned to go back and ask Old Mrs. Tian.
After Tian Tian returned home, Old Lady Tian was picking vegetables in the field. Gu Yinghua looked around and saw that Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua were not with Old Lady Tian, so he moved over.
Old Mrs. Tian glanced at Tian Tian and said, "Are you back from Lingling? Why are you back so early today?"
