"Go do whatever you need to do. Xiaoxiao is pregnant and will receive special care. She doesn't need to work these next few days."
The second son is not allowed to visit the Chen family again before his marriage.
"If you dare go there again, the Li family will disown you. Go wherever you want."
Li Jianguo glanced at the old woman and her eldest daughter. Suddenly, the whole family ran off. They were harvesting wheat outside.
Seeing her father leave, Li Yanhong didn't dare to make a sound, but she still glared fiercely at Ye Xiaoxiao. She was eventually dragged out by her mother.
[Mission complete. Reward: A large iron basin!]
Just as Ye Xiaoxiao was thinking about whether she could install a bathroom in her room, she saw a large iron basin that looked like it was made of aluminum appear in her system space.
"No, Tongzi, where's my bathroom? Where's my bathtub? Or even just a shower would be fine. What the heck is this big metal tub?"
[Host, these days, big iron basins are used for bathing.]
After the system finished speaking, it pretended to be dead. It remained silent no matter what Ye Xiaoxiao said.
The rooster's first crow woke Ye Xiaoxiao up.
She vaguely heard splashing sounds coming from the courtyard, as well as the clanging of wooden buckets hitting the stone slabs.
She was all too familiar with this sound; it was a daily chore for rural women—washing clothes.
I glanced at my watch; it was already past nine. She was sleeping soundly.
"Giggle giggle—"
A hen led her chicks to forage in the yard, while the old ewe in the sheepfold bleated noisily.
Ye Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and glanced out the window. The sun had just peeked out, and the morning light streamed in through the window covered with newspaper.
Ye Xiaoxiao stretched, sat up, looked in the mirror, and prepared to comb her hair.
She almost screamed in surprise. That beauty-enhancing fruit from yesterday was working!
At this moment, she had fair skin and a beautiful face. It seemed like her face shape had changed, and her chin looked sharper. It wasn't the round face she had yesterday.
Her eyes have become bigger than before. Although she has single eyelids, she is still excessively beautiful.
She looked like she had a beauty filter on.
Looking at her arms and legs again, she felt that she had become more slender, except for her watermelon-sized belly.
[Not bad, not bad, Tongzi, I'd give you a nine out of ten for the effect of this fruit. I'm deducting one point so you won't get arrogant.]
[...] The system is speechless.
"Did the sun rise in the west?"
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished tidying herself up, she heard the sound of washing clothes outside getting louder. The basin was deliberately left unstable, making a clanging sound as it was being scrubbed.
Upon coming out, I was in a great mood—Li Yanhong, who had been eager to marry Chen Dashun ever since they got engaged, was actually sitting obediently in the yard washing clothes!
[System, has Li Yanhong changed her personality?] Ye Xiaoxiao came out with a basin to fetch water to wash her face.
[Task: Supervise Li Yanhong while she does laundry and cooks, and prevent her from stealing money and going to the Chen family's house again.]
Ye Xiaoxiao listened to the task issued by the system and looked at Li Yanhong, who was doing laundry, in surprise. This girl is something else, she actually dared to steal money from her family...
No, if she stole the money...
Ye Xiaoxiao recalled that in the original book, the original owner was indeed beaten by Li Chenyang for stealing money while pregnant.
The original owner was straightforward, and because of this, she had a huge falling out with the Li family, even trying to drag Li Chenyang into a divorce.
However, after sleeping, she cried all night because she was all alone here, without any family members from her parents' side. She was pregnant and had no money, so she could only swallow this bitter pill.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao's gaze towards Li Yanhong turned murderous.
Damn it, the book never mentioned who stole the money until the end. So it turns out it was this brat who did it.
Ye Xiaoxiao was brushing her teeth after getting water.
"Hmph, pretentious. Brushing her teeth, she really thinks she's a city person."
"You're being fussy about brushing your teeth? Well, your lack of hygiene is no less fussy. You walk around with smelly breath and think you're so great, huh? You've got some nerve..."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished brushing her teeth, she turned around and saw Li Yanhong staring at her angrily.
After staring at it for a while, she actually breathed on it and started smelling it.
"Haha, right? How arrogant are you?" Ye Xiaoxiao thought she was going to fight her.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanhong stared at her again:
"You...how come you've lost so much weight? You were quite chubby last night. Is being pregnant really that hard?"
"Oh, maybe! Dad asked you to cook, so don't be lazy!"
Ye Xiaoxiao had just put down her toothbrush cup when she saw that Li Yanhong actually wanted to use her things.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Li Yanhong had already squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush, and she was so angry that she immediately went over and snatched it back.
"What's wrong with using it? It's just a toothbrush and a toothpaste cup! Why are you being so stingy!"
Li Yanhong thought to herself that she should brush her teeth too, so that she would like Chen Dashun even more the next time she saw him.
"Are you crazy? A toothbrush is a personal item. You may not find it disgusting, but I can't stand it. Go buy your own toothbrush if you want to brush your teeth!"
Ye Xiaoxiao was truly speechless. It seemed like no one in the Li family brushed their teeth!
To prevent her sister-in-law from secretly using her toothbrush, Ye Xiaoxiao took the toothbrushes back to her room and put them in her system space.
Li Yanhong even pursed her lips when she saw her sister-in-law's behavior:
"What's so great about it? I'll have the same thing when I get married. What's there to be proud of?"
The thought that she would be getting married in a month and would no longer have to do these chores at home made her happy.
"That's hilarious. Do you really think you don't have to work anymore after you get married? Or do you find it more enjoyable to work for the Chen family? Is it so hard to do something for your own family?"
