How could that be possible? Even if the Tang family helped with the farm work, what about the housework? She had to do laundry, cook, feed the chickens, and clean. How could she handle it all by herself?
Ever since the news of Xu Zhenhua's death reached the army, Xu Dingbang and his wife fell seriously ill, and naturally all the work at home and outside fell on Tang Wanning.
The Xu couple was afraid that Tang Wanning would remarry and there would be no one to take care of them in their old age, so they sighed and cried all day long.
Firstly, she was really sad, and secondly, it made Tang Wanning feel guilty, so she took the initiative to stay in the Xu family and take care of them in their old age.
After they recovered from their illness, they treated Tang Wanning better than their own daughter. They would save any delicious food and drinks for her and often gave her money to spend.
But Tang Wanning always refused, saying that he was still young, asked them to keep the delicious food for himself, and said that he had money to spend.
He takes care of everything at home and outside, and rarely lets the old couple do anything. Of course, in order to avoid being criticized and to control Tang Wanning, the old couple will still take the initiative to do the work in the fields.
As for the housework, it was all thrown to Tang Wanning. In order to make her willingly take on the housework, Bai Xiuying would often praise her for being sensible and filial.
He told everyone that Xu Zhenhua had married a good wife, and although they lost a son, they also gained a daughter.
With Tang Wanning as her old ox, Bai Xiuying had long learned to be lazy. Now that she was asked to take up these housework again, she naturally was unwilling.
But there was nothing she could do even if she didn't want to. After all, she was still counting on Tang Wanning to support her in her old age. Not only could she not complain or get angry with her, she had to be doubly nice to her.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiuying suppressed her dissatisfaction and her tone became softer. "Is that so? Then you should take a good rest during this period. It is important to take care of your health. So, I will go home and kill a chicken to nourish you."
"Okay." Tang Wanning smiled, her eyes curved. "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
"Then I'll go back and get some eggs. You can't refuse me again..." Bai Xiuying was talking when she suddenly froze. "What did you say?"
Seeing this, Tang Wanning's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and her smile became even brighter. "I say, thank you for your hard work, mother."
This time Bai Xiuying was sure that she had not heard it wrong, but even so, she felt something was wrong.
What's wrong with this little bitch today? She has not played by the rules once or twice. But the words have been spoken, and there is no room for regret.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest. Mom will go back and make chicken soup for you now."
After saying this, Bai Xiuying turned around and left. She was afraid that if she didn't leave, the smile on her face would disappear!
Tang Wanning: You can't stand this?
Wait, this is just the beginning!
At the door of the room, Su Meijuan looked at Bai Xiuying who was hurried out and greeted her with a smile: "Mother-in-law is leaving now, do you want to sit for a while?"
"No, no, Wanning is not feeling well. I'll go back and kill a chicken to give her some nourishment."
When Su Meijuan heard Bai Xiuying's words, she was stunned. When she reacted, Bai Xiuying had already walked away.
She walked in with a puzzled look on her face, carrying brown sugar eggs, and asked, "Ningning, did I hear correctly just now? Your mother-in-law said she was going home to kill a chicken for you to nourish you?"
Seeing his mother's reaction, Tang Wanning felt very uncomfortable.
In her previous life, she was reluctant to eat or drink at her husband's house. Her parents felt sorry for her and would often call her home for dinner and give her all the delicious food and drinks.
It can be said that not only did her parents not receive any filial piety from their daughter, but they also worked hard and toiled for her all their lives.
Thinking of this, Tang Wanning felt a pang of pain in his heart, and a mist appeared in his eyes. "Mom, you heard it right."
Hearing this, Su Meijuan jokingly said, "Have you really changed your personality? You used to be reluctant to eat anything and wanted to leave all the delicious food to your parents-in-law. What happened today?"
But you are right to do this. After all, health is the capital of revolution. I know your parents-in-law treat you very well, but you still have to eat. Just be filial to them in the future."
After hearing his mother's words, Tang Wanning felt a sour feeling spread throughout his body, and he felt very uncomfortable.
But the old couple of the Xu family were really good at acting. They not only deceived her, but also deceived everyone in the village.
"I understand, mother. I will take good care of myself in the future."
"That's good, that's good." Su Meijuan held the bowl forward. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? How about mommy feed you?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Tang Wanning took the bowl and began to eat in small bites. After finishing an egg, she picked up another and passed it to her mother, "Mom, you have some too."
"Mom doesn't want to eat it. Mom doesn't like eggs. Eat them while they're hot. They won't taste good if they're cold."
How could someone not like eating eggs? This was just Su Meijuan's excuse for not wanting to eat them.
Tang Wanning pouted and said coquettishly, "If Mommy doesn't want to eat, then I won't eat either."
Looking at her daughter's cute appearance, Su Meijuan couldn't bear to refuse. "Okay, okay, Mommy will eat it, Mommy will eat it."
After happily finishing an egg, Su Meijuan found an excuse to go out, fearing that her daughter would repeat the same trick and ask her to eat another one.
"Ningning, just put your bowl on the table next to the bed after you finish eating. I have to go to the fields quickly. It's still early, so I can help at the Xu family after I finish my housework."
"Mom, you and Dad shouldn't go to the Xu family to help today. Come home early. I miss you."
Hearing Tang Wanning's words, Su Meijuan nodded with a smile. In her heart, her daughter was the most important, and her daughter's requests were equally important.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Don't run around after you finish eating. Have a good rest. If you need anything, call your brother."
"I know, mother."
Looking at his mother's receding back and the two eggs left in the bowl, Tang Wanning became more determined to lead his family to a good life.
After quickly finishing the eggs, Tang Wanning took the bowl to the kitchen. When she passed the living room, she saw the calendar hanging on the wall of the main room, July 6, 1986.
It was not until this moment that Tang Wanning was sure that this was not a dream, she was truly reborn.
Tang Huaixu, who was sitting at the square table doing homework, saw his sister standing in front of the calendar in a daze. He put down his pen and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you looking at?"
Hearing his brother's voice, Tang Wanning finally came back to his senses. "Nothing, just do your homework."
"Sister, don't hold back on anything. It's not good for your health." Tang Huaixu pursed his lips and continued, "At least speaking out will make you feel better."
"Yeah, I know. Go do your homework."
Looking at her brother's tender face, Tang Wanning's thoughts drifted away again. In her previous life, because she stubbornly stayed with the old couple of the Xu family, her brother did not get into university.
You know, his grades have always been very good, but he performed poorly in the college entrance examination. Tang Wanning guessed that he didn't perform poorly, but was controlling his scores.
