Washing clothes in the middle of winter is the most painful job. If Sister Liu didn't feel sorry for Liu Xiaolian, she would not boil hot water for her and waste the firewood at home.
When Liu Xiaolian thought about putting her hands into cold water and the piercing feeling, she clenched her hands tightly and thought that she must marry into the Gu family and never live this kind of life again!
Seeing that Li Xiaolian hadn't made any move for a long time, Sister Liu became even angrier and yelled:
"What are you still doing there? Didn't you hear me? Do you have chicken feathers stuck in your ears?"
"Don't think that just because the Gu family values you, you can show off at home. You little bastard, you'll be a worthless person your whole life. Go wash clothes for your brother!"
"If you can't wash it clean, don't eat today. Our family can't afford to support idle people!"
Sister Liu left cursing, leaving Liu Xiaolian alone, gritting her teeth and picking up the basin of ice-cold water, to go to the sunny place in the yard to wash clothes!
Because she didn't bring back anything useful, the next day, Sister Liu wanted Liu Xiaolian to go to Gu's house again, and she even gave the excuse of letting her develop feelings with Gu Yanting!
When Liu Xiaolian thought that today was New Year's Day and her mother actually sent her out to ask for things, she was so angry!
Under normal circumstances, Liu Xiaolian would not feel angry. She even felt that going to the Gu family was much better than working at home!
But, isn't it that Mother Gu no longer thinks highly of her and doesn't want her to go again? That's why she feels angry!
During the New Year, wouldn't Gu's mother look down on her even more when she sees her? And even if she marries Gu Yanting and lives in Gu's family, wouldn't Gu's mother still bully her?
So, Liu Xiaolian bit her lip and gave Sister Liu some advice:
"Mom, today is not appropriate. It's New Year's Day. I'm an outsider. If I go to the Gu family, what will Aunt Gu think of me? What will Gu Yanting think of me?"
Sister Liu disagreed and said:
"No matter what you think, the most important thing is to get benefits!"
"Besides, if you hadn't been so stupid as to ask for so many books yesterday, would I have let you go again?"
"Hurry up, don't dawdle. You're going to marry into the Gu family anyway, so isn't it normal to go to his house in advance? It would be best if he lets you stay for the New Year. Then I'll go to his house and make a scene to get an explanation from you!"
The more she thought about it, the more Sister Liu felt that her idea was feasible, and she urged Liu Xiaolian to go right away!
How could Liu Xiaolian dare to go at this time? If she went now, she would really anger the Gu family. Not to mention how her life would be like in the future, she probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Gu family!
Liu Xiaolian glanced at Sister Liu, then at her father who also had an expectant look on his face. Liu Xiaolian decided not to tell her mother, but advised her father:
"Dad, it's New Year's Day. If I really go to Gu's house, how will they miss you? It's too embarrassing. No matter how eager you are, I am still a girl. Wouldn't people poke fun at me if I do this?"
"Besides, if I go now, the Gu family will value me. In the future, I want to help my family and my brother. The Gu family looks down on our family. Can they agree?"
When Liu Xiaolian's father heard that the Gu family could not agree to help their family and Liu Xiaolian's brother, he said angrily:
"Since his family married you, they have to help our family and your brother. Why not? If you dare not help, I will go to his Gu family's door and see who will be embarrassed, his Gu family or our family!"
Seeing her father's shameless look, Liu Xiaolian knew that this persuasion would not work, so she changed her words and said:
"Dad, that's not what I meant. Can the willing help be the same as the help you caused by making a fuss?"
"If he is willing, maybe I can find a job for my brother. If he is not willing, then he can be a hard laborer. My brother will suffer a lot!"
When Liu Xiaodi heard that it concerned him, he quickly said:
"I want to be an official, not a laborer. Mom, please don't let my sister go!"
"It's New Year's Day, and asking for money is really taboo for people!"
"They are relatives from my dad's hometown. They are coming over during the Chinese New Year. Don't you get angry and kick them out!"
Sister Liu glared and said:
"How dare they come to take advantage of us during Chinese New Year? How can we live like this? They are deliberately trying to make our life miserable and tear our house down!"
As she spoke, Sister Liu threatened Liu Xiaolian's father:
"I'm telling you, if you dare to let your poor relative into the house during New Year's Day, don't blame me for kicking you out too!"
Liu Xiaodi helped Liu Xiaolian and said:
"Look, Mom, you don't allow poor relatives to go to the Gu family to beg for money during the New Year. How can they not be averse to it? What if you don't allow my sister to go in the future? That would be the end!"
Sister Liu said awkwardly:
"How can it be the same? Your sister is going to marry into the Gu family. She is a member of the Gu family. What's the point of going to the Gu family during the New Year?"
But in the end, she was afraid that the Gu family would really annoy Liu Xiaolian, and it would be bad for her in the future. Sister Liu said impatiently:
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. She has too much to do every day. Hurry up and get to work and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Don't eat it secretly! If I see you eating a piece of meat secretly, I will skin you alive!"
Liu Xiaolian then breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner!
…………
As soon as Gu Yanting left, among the four Lin Manman siblings, only Lin Shangjing had to go to work every day!
After all, we are raising cattle and sheep, and this work has to be done on New Year's Day!
Originally, Lin Manman and the others wanted Lin Yintian to come over and spend a reunion year with them and their siblings!
But Lin Yintian disagreed. He said that nothing could go wrong at this critical juncture and no risk could be taken!
When Lin Manman and the others heard this, they felt regretful but still followed Lin Yintian's arrangements.
There is still a long time to come, and there is no rush for reunion, so it is better to let Lin Yintian return to Beijing safely!
