Lin Tao reluctantly carried Ma Huijuan home, his heart filled with anger.
Looking at the unconscious person, Li Ying said with a worried expression, "Sister Feng, shouldn't we get a doctor to take a look at her?"
The commune had a health center with a doctor who could make house calls to treat patients.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tao said in a harsh tone, "I think she's just pretending to avoid doing any work. Why waste that money?"
Without love, there was no pity; he even kicked her to see if she would wake up.
“You know, it’s not easy to get a wife. What if she dies? It’ll be a huge hassle,” Li Ying said earnestly.
Lin Tao grew impatient, fetched a bucket of cold water from the water vat, and splashed it on her face...
Ma Huijuan slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at everything.
She just had a long dream. In the dream, after she married Lin Tao, she was tormented by her mother-in-law. But Lin Tao not only didn't appreciate it, but also fell in love with someone else in the near future. In the end, she died in childbirth.
After her death, her body was simply buried in a pit on the mountain. No one paid her respects. When her parents and sister found out, no one came to see her off, and they quickly forgot about her.
Dreams are the opposite of reality!
She told herself.
But at this moment, she was soaking wet and trembling uncontrollably, just like in her dream.
Stop having any illusions.
Lin Tao doesn't like her at all and will never treat her well!
All she has to do now is figure out how to survive!
She struggled to her feet, then went into the yard, picked up a table, and said she wanted to return it to its owner.
Seeing her trembling figure, Yu Xiaofeng finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted at Lin Tao:
"Alright, return all these things to me! Are you trying to drive them to their deaths?!"
Ma Huijuan immediately put down her things, went to her mother-in-law's side, and said with tears welling up in her eyes:
"Mom, it's all my fault for not being healthy enough to do so much physical work. I'll go cook right now!"
There were still quite a few leftovers from yesterday, so she deliberately mixed some of them together and added some salt.
When they started eating, they all spat out what they had put in their mouths.
"What kind of garbage have you made?!"
Yu Xiaofeng was furious. The perfectly good food had been turned into something resembling pig slop, and it was incredibly salty. She had no choice but to take over the cooking.
"Alright, from now on I'll do the cooking, you just need to fetch water, wash clothes and sweep the floor."
Ma Huijuan was happy; with so much work to do, she figured she could skip one task altogether.
In the following days, Ma Huijuan learned to be lazy, washing her clothes haphazardly, drying them with detergent foam still on them.
Never mind, as long as my own clothes are clean, that's fine.
Instead of being foolish enough to carry water himself, he found Shuanzi, agreed to help him carry water once a month, and then helped him carry water for a month.
Shuanzi readily agreed. It was Lin Tao who instigated him to cause trouble at the last wedding, saying that he could gain an advantage.
As a result, he didn't get any advantage. When he got back, he was forced to urinate and vomit, which saved his life. To this day, half of his face is still numb.
He couldn't be happier to be able to cuckold Lin Tao.
When she was at work, she also learned to slack off. Forget about the old slogans like "forge a red heart and develop calluses on your hands." Whoever wants to do it can do it. Anyway, she won't be silly and show off anymore.
What if I don't get enough work points?
Let's just leave it as is; we can't exactly kill her!
What should he do if Lin Tao continues to hit and verbally abuse him?
If you're scolded, you won't get hurt; if you're hit, you won't fight back. As long as you act pitiful in front of your mother-in-law, at least she won't hit you too hard.
Once she started to give up, she found that this kind of life was much more comfortable than before.
The thought of her lying with Shuanzi, reveling in happiness, gave her a sense of vengeful pleasure.
......
Jiang Ning, holding a cup of sesame bean tea, chatted with visiting guests. Occasionally, she would glance at Ma Huijuan next door and felt that she had changed recently.
However, as long as she doesn't provoke him, Jiang Ning won't do anything to her.
After all, Ma Huijuan had only taken advantage of her before, so a lesson was enough.
"Sister, I've come today because I need your help with something." At this moment, an aunt who was visiting the house for the first time suddenly said, pulling her back to reality.
Wang Xiufen smiled and said, "Big sister, just tell me what's on your mind."
If it's about borrowing money, then you've come to the wrong person. The daughter-in-law manages all the money in the house; she has no say in it.
The aunt said:
"I just saw the Tang suit your daughter-in-law was wearing, it was so beautiful. My youngest son is getting married next month, I wonder if you could sell me that Tang suit."
It turns out she had her eye on that Tang suit.
In the past few days, many people from the neighboring brigade have come here. They all heard that Jiang Ning was beautiful and that her wedding dress was also beautiful, so they came to see her.
At least ten people have already expressed their intention to buy.
Wang Xiufen promptly refused: "Sister, it's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that the Tang suit belongs to my daughter-in-law, and I can't make that decision. Besides, you only get married once in your life, so you definitely don't want to wear secondhand clothes."
If someone else heard these words, they would know it was a polite refusal and wouldn't say anything more.
Who knew this auntie didn't seem to mind being secondhand at all, and continued:
"Secondhand items have their advantages, they're cheaper, right? I know it's a hassle for you to buy fabric and stuff, but you've only worn it once, so selling it to me for two dollars isn't a bad deal, is it?"
Wang Xiufen laughed in exasperation. She had already said she wasn't selling, so why was she still haggling over the price?
"Sister, it's really not about the money. Tell me, my daughter-in-law ran all over the county to buy silk fabric. She only spent five yuan on fabric and accessories. What was she after? She just wanted to make herself a nice dress!"
And you know what? After the clothes were finished, my daughter-in-law wore them and they fit her perfectly. My grandfather used to say that Tang suits are not for everyone; if you don't have a good figure, even the most beautiful clothes won't look good on you.
After Wang Xiufen finished speaking, she looked at Aunt Luo next to her.
Aunt Luo chimed in, "Yes, Ningning has a great figure, she looks good in anything."
Hearing this from the side, Jiang Ning couldn't help but give them a thumbs up in her heart.
If your aunt still doesn't understand, then she's being a bit silly.
The raw materials cost five yuan each, and she only pays two yuan? How could she possibly be so shameless? Besides, does her daughter-in-law have a figure as good as Jiang Ning's? Does she think she can just take it home and wear it right away?
She had no choice but to give up.
Jiang Ning suddenly had an idea: so many people coveted that Tang suit, why not make a few more?
With that in mind, she pulled Wang Xiufen into the house and told her her thoughts.
"Is it really possible?" Wang Xiufen hesitated, worried that others might not like the clothes she made.
Jiang Ning encouraged him:
"Give it a try. With my help, you just need to do it."
Wang Xiufen nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After Jiang Ning came out of the house, she said to her aunt:
“Go back and discuss it with your daughter-in-law. If she really wants to wear a Tang suit, my mother will make an exception and make one for her. However, you will have to provide the materials, and we will charge a processing fee of one yuan and fifty cents.”
