Widow Liu couldn't do anything about him, and she felt sorry for her grandson, so she had no choice but to send him back to the house and said, "I really owe you two a lot. No matter how big or small, neither of you can give me peace of mind.
"Come in quickly and take off your clothes and pants so I can see where you are hurt."
After entering the house, Widow Liu first took off her dirty outer clothes and trousers.
"Hurry up and get on the kang, don't catch a cold." Widow Liu said as she stripped Wang Zhengbao naked. When she saw the marks of beating on his body, her eyebrows immediately raised.
"You've been beaten like this, and you still don't say anything?"
When Widow Liu raised her voice, she woke up Wang Dalong who was sleeping in a daze.
"What are you arguing about? It's so annoying!" Wang Dalong said impatiently without even opening his eyes.
Widow Liu said angrily, "Look at what your son has been beaten into!"
Wang Dalong turned over impatiently, turned his back to Widow Liu and Wang Zhengbao and said, "I'm almost dying of pain, how can I care about him?"
Widow Liu was helpless. She examined Wang Zhengbao from head to toe, found some medicinal oil and rubbed it on the injured area. She said unhappily, "Little ancestor, just stay home and stop causing trouble, okay?"
After stuffing Wang Zhengbao into the warm quilt, Widow Liu picked up his clothes one by one, planning to put them in a wooden basin and wash and mend them when she had time.
Jiang's belly has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and she can no longer do things like washing clothes.
Thinking about my old age, not only was I kicked out of the house I had lived in for so many years, but I also had to work hard inside and outside.
Now that I have finished worrying about my son, I have to worry about my grandson.
"Each of you, there's really not one person that gives me peace of mind."
When Widow Liu came out of the house, she saw Chunhua putting pig feed into the trough in the pigpen.
"Where the hell have you been, you little bastard?" Widow Liu scolded immediately, "Every time I ask you to go cut grass for the pigs, you never come back for a long time.
"You're not a kid anymore, why are you still so blind?
"There's so much to do inside and outside, and instead of lending a hand, you just go out and slack off."
Chunhua felt very aggrieved when she heard this. Her elder brother was obviously older than her, but he didn't have to do anything.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and pig grass is not as easy to cut as in summer.
It took her a long time to fill a basket of pig grass.
Not only did he not receive any praise after returning, but he was also beaten and scolded.
When being scolded by Widow Liu, Chunhua really wanted to throw away the pig feed in her hand immediately.
Just like Wang Zhengbao, if you are in a bad mood, you can go out and relax.
But she knew in her heart that Wang Zhengbao could do the same thing, but if she did it, she would only be beaten and scolded.
So Chunhua insisted on putting all the pig feed into the stone trough despite the scolding from Widow Liu.
Looking at the two fat pigs coming over to eat, Chunhua even felt a little envious of them.
All he does every day is eat and sleep, and he won't be beaten or scolded, so even if he can only live for one or two years before being killed, she will still envy him.
"You silly girl, what are you standing there for? Come over here and get to work!" Widow Liu yelled again, "Come here, I'll teach you how to wash clothes!
"After the Chinese New Year, he'll be six years old. He's not a child anymore. It's time for him to help with housework!"
Chunhua didn't want to pay attention to it, but her body didn't dare to resist, so she walked over slowly.
Widow Liu impatiently pressed Chunhua onto the small stool in front of the wooden basin.
“I’ve already soaked your clothes in water.
"Look, like this, find the dirty spot on the clothes.
“Just rub your hands together like this to clean the dirty areas.
"Do you understand? Come on, try it yourself!"
Chunhua put her hand into the water and immediately shivered because of the cold.
Widow Liu said without any sympathy: "Don't be so squeamish, these are things women should do.
"I'm teaching you for your own good. Otherwise, when you get married, you won't know how to do anything and will be despised by your in-laws and husband!"
After a while, Chunhua's little hands were already red from the cold, but she could only scrub the clothes diligently under the gaze of Widow Liu.
"Have you not eaten? Use some strength!" Widow Liu scolded, feeling dissatisfied. "Can you really clean it like this?"
Chunhua could only rub it hard.
But there was only a "swish" sound, and the place that was already torn became even bigger after Chunhua rubbed it.
"You did it on purpose!" Widow Liu kicked Chunhua on the lower back.
Chunhua lost her balance and fell headfirst into the washtub.
The cold water instantly covered her face and her entire upper body was soaked.
Widow Liu reached out and picked up Chunhua from the basin, saying with disdain, "Forget it, I can't count on you for anything, go back and find your mother to change clothes!
"I don't know what sins I committed in my previous life, but I am destined to serve others in this life.
"I've served the old and the young, and now I have to serve the next generation—"
Chunhua came into the house all wet, her lips turning purple from the cold.
Jiang quickly wiped her hair, changed her clothes, and then wanted her to get on the kang to warm up.
But the rooms in the old house were originally very narrow, and the kang was not very big. It was only big enough for three adults to lie side by side, and they would bump into each other if they moved at all.
At this time, Wang Dalong occupied the edge of the kang and slept in a big letter shape, taking up most of the kang.
Wang Zhengbao was wrapped in a quilt at the head of the kang and fell asleep at some point.
Perhaps because the kang was too hot, he had already kicked off the quilt and was sleeping with his legs spread out.
