The girl from the Xu family rarely goes back to her parents' home after getting married. Twice a year is considered a small number. Most people, as long as they marry not far away, will go three or four times.
Xu Laowu was more aggressive and argumentative than the original. She had many sisters and a beloved younger brother, so she was used to fighting and arguing. She was more formidable than the original owner. The original owner had seen her fight with her sisters at home, and it was truly astonishing. It was just that the Xu family had done a good job of keeping secrets, so the girls in his family all had a good image.
Last but not least, the Xu family wouldn’t send her anything, so Zheng Lanping couldn’t snatch anything from her.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Laowu's life might not be difficult if she gets married.

The next morning, Xie Yun and Zhang Ruifeng went to work. Their task had changed to weaving baskets, using white wax strips to make backpack baskets and dung buckets. This was also physically demanding work.
The wax strips have been soaked in water and are tough but not hard.
To weave a basket, you must first place the wax strips on the ground, cross them into a "米" shape, and then wrap, weave, and compact the wax strips back and forth. This is the "bottoming out" step, which is the most strenuous one. You need to bend over all the time and control the strength to ensure that the bottom of the basket is woven tightly, but not so much that you break the wax strips.
This work was time-consuming and laborious, with work points awarded per basket. Weaving one basket earned five points. Some people only made one basket a day, while the faster ones could make two. If there was any leftover, they had to take it home and continue.
Xie Yun's hands were quick, and she didn't chat or get distracted. She spent the entire morning weaving a wax strip basket, and all that was left was the finishing touch. She'd known this craft in a previous life, having watched a video of an old man weaving baskets and then gone to learn from him. She even wove several baskets for the old man free of charge. Back then, these baskets could sell for 50 yuan each.
