After bringing Tian Ying back to Lao Shi's house, the accommodation naturally had to be rearranged.
Tian Yuzhu has to take care of Shi Xiaoli. Currently, only her hypnosis can control her. Tian Ying doesn't know the inside story, but she is worried that her sister will suffer, so she offers to help take care of her.
Tian Yuzhu thought it was a good idea, otherwise Tian Ying would live in the new courtyard with Shi Weiqiang, and the villagers would gossip about her.
As for hypnosis, just tell her a white lie when the time comes.
Shi Zhentang was very worried about this assignment. Worry was written all over his face before he even opened his mouth. Tian Yuzhu comforted him: "Why worry? It's just a wall between us. I'll call you if there's anything."
"No, I'll still live in the old courtyard. The small thatched house in the courtyard is still habitable." Shi Zhentang finally decided not to return to the new courtyard. As long as they stayed in the same courtyard, everything would be fine.
Seeing how sweet the couple was, Tian Ying felt a little guilty.
Su Zhen quickly said, "Then I'll go clean it up."
The small thatched hut was originally where she and Shi Weimin lived. Whenever Shi Zhentang came back from the army to visit his family, she would clean it up and let him live there. The bed is still there, but it's a little shabby.
She is a quick person and started to get busy as soon as she was told to clean up.
Tian Ying couldn't sit idle, so she quickly said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you!"
"Why!"
In fact, making the bed is just a small thing, but it would be awkward for her to stand there without doing anything, so Su Zhen agreed tactfully.
After they left, Tian Yuzhu told her grandmother everything that happened at the Zhou family in the second commune.
The old lady nodded after hearing this and said: "The Zhou family is worthless. It's better to divorce them. As the old saying goes, a tree that is moved dies, and a person who is moved lives. Let her live in our house. In the future, if I have a bite to eat, she will have a bite to eat too."
"Grandma, you have good intentions, but I still have to send her back to her parents' home."
"Why? Your father and your brother aren't good people either. Will they accept Tian Ying?"
"I don't know yet, but I have to give it a try." Tian Yuzhu could tell that the old lady really wanted to take Tian Ying in. "Grandma, it's not that I don't want my sister to stay, but because of her personality, she will definitely feel uncomfortable after a while. It's better to let her go back to her parents' home. We can then take it one step at a time. After all, Tianjia Village is her hometown, and she might be more relaxed."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and you can make the arrangements." The old lady wanted to keep the person, but she also understood that it would be uncomfortable to live under someone else's roof, even for herself, so it would be better for her to go back to her parents' home.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Weiqiang and said, "Third brother, now that the sister of the Tian family has come to live in our house, you must know how to maintain a proper distance with her and stop the villagers from talking nonsense. This kind of thing will damage a woman's reputation."
Shi Weiqiang replied sullenly: "I understand!"
Tian Yuzhu knew that the old lady was always sensible, so she felt more relaxed and asked about Shi Xiaoli.
After learning that the incident had not happened before dark, he began to prepare the blueprints: "I have to go teach my sister-in-law and the others. Time is very tight. Grandma, you should go to bed early."
“This girl…”
The old lady smiled with relief and shook her head.
In fact, seeing how quickly and efficiently she does things, I am so happy that I can't contain myself.
…
After Su Zhen and Tian Ying finished cleaning the small thatched house in the old courtyard, Tian Yuzhu called them to the main house and began to teach them how to read clothing design drawings.
Su Zhen had known that she had to learn this and she was so happy.
Tian Ying was still confused. She looked at the picture while listening to Tian Yuzhu's introduction: "Sister, this is a picture of making clothes. If you learn how to read it, you can make clothes, and you can make money by making clothes."
Wow, she can make money with her own hands?
Tian Ying's eyes widened. "Yuzhu, is this the ability you were talking about, the ability to change your life?"
Tian Yuzhu said with a smile: "This is just the beginning. Don't worry, study hard and you will get better and better in the future."
She had three copies of the manuscript paper, one for Su Zhen and one for Tian Ying, and instructed them on how to read the pictures.
Both of them were very diligent and didn't want to put it down even when they saw Su Zhen yawning. Tian Yuzhu urged Su Zhen to go back and rest, and she also wanted to take a copy.
Tian Ying saw that he was sleeping with the blueprint in his hand.
Tian Yuzhu smiled bitterly and shook her head, gently took the manuscript paper from her hand, covered her with a quilt before leaving the room.
The light in Shi Zhentang's little thatched cottage was still on. Hearing the noise, he quickly opened the door and came out, whispering, "Yuzhu, I'll get you some water to wash your feet."
“No, I…”
"Just wait, I'll be here in a moment."
The man didn't give her a chance to retort.
My wife is pregnant now and she has to soak her feet every night, otherwise her feet will swell.
Soon, he brought hot water, asked his wife to sit on a stool, took off her shoes, and put her small feet in the water: "Is the water temperature suitable?"
"suitable."
"Then just relax and soak for a while. You'll sleep better once your feet are warm."
"Well, take off your shoes too and soak with us."
"good."
The young couple kept talking in low voices, fearing that they would disturb Tian Ying's sleep.
But in fact, she was frightened awake when Tian Yuzhu left the house. Zhou Ergou had been doing harm to her over the years. Sometimes he would come back drunk in the middle of the night and beat people.
Tian Ying had this habit of waking up in surprise for a long time. At this moment, she closed her eyes and eavesdropped on the conversation between the young couple, tears unconsciously sliding down from the corners of her eyes.
I really can't believe that such a cold and aloof military officer like my brother-in-law can pamper his wife to such an extent that he personally pours water for her to wash her feet.
This was simply incredible in Tian Ying's eyes.
At the same time, she also felt that it turned out that the relationship between husband and wife could be like this, and it was not the case that men were superior and women had to serve humbly.
Now that she thought about it, she and Zhou Ergou's distorted views on marriage were exactly the same as her mother Yang Xiu's...
That night, the warm breeze blew gently, and the branches with new leaves swayed gently.
The couple's soft whispers added a touch of warmth to the night, and everything seemed like a new beginning.
Lying on the kang, Tian Ying wiped away her tears and encouraged herself. She would definitely get better.
…
The next morning, Shi De went to the city early. He took a tractor from the commune to the county town. He was determined to see Yang Dahua today and tell her about Shi Xiaoli.
On the other side, Shi Weiqiang and Shi Weimin continued to work in the fields.
However, no one in the village joked about Shi Weiqiang anymore. Although what happened to him in the Second Commune yesterday had spread here, everyone was also afraid of Shi Weiqiang's fist.
Before they went to the fields, Tian Ying and Su Zhen cooked breakfast together.
Both of them were skillful and deft, but Tian Ying took the initiative to help. As for how much noodles to put in, she would ask Su Zhen for her consent, after all, she was the guest.
With the two of them around, Tian Yuzhu really didn't need to lend a hand anymore. While Tian Ying was helping, she hypnotized Shi Xiaoli, mainly to calm her down and stop making a fuss.
Shi Xiaoli was very cooperative today, and the hypnosis effect was also good. She didn't cry or make a fuss while eating breakfast.
Tian Ying was not afraid of her and fed her smoothly.
Tian Yuzhu saw all of this and knew that she could leave for a few hours without any problem, so she called Shi Zhentang and went to Xinyi Town together.
