Chapter 108 Orphan
It seems that she has become obedient after being taught a lesson yesterday. This obedient daughter-in-law is much better behaved than those of the other families.
"Auntie, come and have breakfast. Just tell me what you want to do today."
"Where's Xiaoshan? Hasn't he gotten up yet?"
Yun Lanyue smiled shyly, "He was tired last night and said he wanted to sleep a little longer, and asked me not to disturb him."
Okay.
Chunxian sat down on the stool and ate breakfast slowly. It was a relief not to have to do it herself.
"Have you figured it out?"
Yun Lanyue swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "I am now a member of your family. What can I do if I can't figure it out? I can't run away anyway, so I might as well be obedient and suffer less."
Chunxian nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, you are right. After dinner, feed the chickens and then go to the river to wash clothes."
Yun Lanyue looked panicked, "Auntie, I don't dare. I'm afraid others will think I'm going to run away."
"I'll take you there and introduce you to someone. What are you worried about?"
After breakfast and feeding the chickens, Yun Lanyue followed Chunxian to the river, carrying a heavy wooden basin.
There were already hardworking women washing clothes by the river, and everyone was laughing and chatting, just like a normal village.
Along the way, Chunxian introduced people to her, praised her for being obedient, and asked the villagers to be nicer to her.
She washed clothes silently by the river, listening to people complimenting Chunxian on her good fortune.
Xiaoxue squatted beside her holding a basin of clothes. She seemed to have more scars on her body and washed the clothes mechanically.
"I told you that you couldn't get away, but I didn't expect you to give in so quickly."
Xiaoxue said this coldly, as if she was chatting with her.
Yun Lanyue shook the clothes in her hands, "Wouldn't it be better to surrender? At least I won't end up like you."
Xiaoxue's eyes turned red. "At least I tried my best. Who are you to say that to me?"
"You betrayed me in front of me yesterday. What's wrong with me saying a few words to you? Isn't this the truth?"
Yun Lanyue had a blank expression on her face, and the words she uttered were like a knife stabbing Xiaoxue.
"You betrayed me because you wanted me to submit to this kind of life."
Xiaoxue bit her lip. She felt embarrassed when her inner thoughts were pointed out so bluntly.
She lowered her head and didn't talk to her anymore. After washing the clothes, she left with the basin.
Yun Lanyue quickly washed a few pieces of clothes.
Chunxian took her back, and when they passed by the village ancestral hall, she heard a woman's cry of pain, accompanied by a man's scolding.
She stopped and looked towards the source of the sound. It was a solid wooden building of considerable size.
"What are you looking at? It's time to go home."
Chunxian urged her, and she trotted after him.
"Auntie, what's that place over there? I heard someone over there."
"Oh, that's the village's ancestral hall. There's an orphan living in the small house next to it."
"She was bullied, and you guys didn't care?"
"Who cares? She has no parents. To survive in the village, she has to sacrifice something. Isn't it normal for her to choose to give up her body in exchange for food?"
normal?
Yun Lanyue was shocked by such values. Zhao Chunxian meant that this kind of thing was very common.
Who do you take that orphan for?!
"No one wants to marry her? Just let her be bullied?" Yun Lanyue continued to ask.
"She's been bullied since a very young age. Over the years, her health has long since collapsed. Who would marry her? Who would dare to marry her? Isn't this just a joke, haha."
Chunxian glanced at her and said, "Stay away from that girl in the ancestral hall. She might have some disease. Don't let her infect you."
She is obviously a woman, but she makes the sufferings of women sound so easy.
Yun Lanyue deeply felt the diversity of human thoughts in the world.
When I got home, Xiaoshan was already up. Last night's hypnosis was very successful. He helped Yun Lanyue hang up the clothes and asked her about her well-being.
As Chunxian looked at it, she felt more and more that the five hundred thousand was not a waste.
Although Xiaoshan was confused as to why he got up from the ground today, he wanted to be nice to Yun Lanyue as soon as he saw her.
It seemed like a lot of sweet things happened between them last night.
Even if he couldn't remember the whole process, he didn't care.
At lunch, Chunxian said that Xiaoshan only had three days of vacation, and asked them to seize these three days and try to get pregnant.
"Ren Xiaoxue has already given birth to two children, and I heard she's pregnant again. Xingxing, you should learn from her, okay?"
Xiaoshan chuckled and said, "Mom, I will try my best."
He will go find Brother Liu Quan later and ask him how he did it.
With her son at home, Chunxian was not so worried and took her to work in the fields in the afternoon.
Since she was really obedient and couldn't run away from the village, Chunxian stopped caring about her and told her that she could go anywhere in the village.
Chunxian warned: "You are not allowed to go to the ancestral hall, and you are not allowed to have any contact with that woman."
Yun Lanyue curled her lips. Even though she was not allowed to do it, she insisted on doing it.
Who knows, we might be able to get some key information.
After dinner and washing up, everyone returned to their rooms.
Yun Lanyue repeated the same trick and knocked Xiaoshan unconscious, then climbed out from the back door with the two steamed buns.
Just as I was not far from the ancestral hall, I heard the woman's painful voice again.
