Hu Guizhen looked at Su Jiaojiao with suspicion in her eyes.
Her performance today was anything but efficient.
Could they have been scammed?
Su Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw the look in her eyes. If the Wang family found out she had lied to them, what would happen...?
She's only just walked in; she hasn't even gotten her footing yet!
After finishing her meal, Su Jiaojiao conscientiously took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them.
Just as she was about to leave, Hu Guizhen called out to her, "Where are you going?"
"Isn't there a market day today? I'm thinking of going out for a stroll?"
She couldn't wait to see Su Nianxue and see how envious she was of her.
Unexpectedly, Hu Guizhen glared at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
We live in town, so we'll have plenty of time to go shopping from now on.
Wash these clothes and bedding first today.
Your brother-in-law and sister-in-law will be back in a few days.
How are we going to build something so messy and shabby then?
As she spoke, Hu Guizhen went to the two rooms next door and threw out two large basins of clothes before she stopped.
Su Jiaojiao stared blankly at the two piles of clothes. "Mom, isn't this... too much?"
"More of what?"
They're so young, yet they already know how to be lazy and slack off.
When I was a new bride, I took care of all the family's needs, from food and drink to household chores, all by myself.
Back then, there were many more people in the family, so life was much harder than it is now for you.
Hu Guizhen became increasingly dissatisfied with her!
This is truly the behavior expected of a hardworking, unfortunate burden.
Su Jiaojiao looked at Wang Zhiguo with pleading eyes, hoping he could put in a good word for her.
Wang Zhiguo also spoke up for her, "Mom, Jiaojiao just got married, don't make her work so hard!"
Besides, we didn't get much rest yesterday either, so you just let her...
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Guizhen glared at him with eyes as sharp as knives, "You still have the nerve to say that?"
"They're all shameless, making such a racket at night. I was worried the neighbors would laugh at them!"
Wang Zhiguo immediately shut up, seemingly oblivious to Su Jiaojiao's pleading look, and walked straight into the house.
Su Jiaojiao finally realized, belatedly, where the chill she felt that morning came from.
Before we got married, he said such sweet things!
I'll listen to her completely from now on, and I'll let her spend all the money I earn.
From now on, she'll live with him in town, enjoying the good life, and he'll never let her suffer any hardship.
But in just one day, he changed!
Seeing that she was staring at Wang Zhiguo's back, Hu Guizhen shouted, "What are you looking at?"
Haven't you had enough after watching for so long?
Her eyes were practically glued to the man; she couldn't bear to be apart from him.
Is this how the Su family raises its children? Go wash up now!
Helpless, Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to carry the basin to the tap.
Just as she was about to turn on the tap, Hu Guizhen shouted again, "Is the water in the house free?"
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household.
Do you think our family's money grows on trees?
"So, Mom, you mean...?" Su Jiaojiao stopped turning on the tap and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"How could you be so stupid?"
Why don't you go wash in the river?
"Su Jiaojiao, have you really done any housework at home?" She became increasingly suspicious of her.
Su Jiaojiao forgot her anger and suddenly said, "Mom, don't be angry. I'm just a new bride and I'm not used to it yet. I'll be fine in a few days."
Hu Guizhen waved her hand impatiently, "Aren't you going yet? Don't come back until you've finished washing these."
Su Jiaojiao gritted her teeth secretly. This old hag, isn't she just torturing her?
With two such large basins of clothes, how long will it take her to wash them?
Does she still have time to go to the market?
She realized that, judging from this old hag's attitude, she would probably have to take on all the housework from now on.
Is she married into the Wang family to be treated like a slave?
No!
She's here to enjoy a life of luxury!
She really wanted to throw those two basins of dirty clothes at the old woman and tell her that she was done with it.
But after thinking about it, I decided to hold off for now!
She went to great lengths to get involved with Wang Zhiguo and marry him off to leave that small mountain village.
She hasn't even enjoyed the envious glances of others yet, how could she be willing to be kicked out of the house by the old woman like this?
She secretly made up her mind that once she gained a foothold in the world, she would definitely make that old hag pay.
Let her torment her!
She resignedly picked up the dirty clothes from the ground and walked towards the river.
Time always flies when you're busy.
Su Nianxue felt like it hadn't been long at all, and the tofu in her hand was almost sold out.
After selling the last piece of tofu, Gu Yanliu said as he packed up his stall, "Let's go, sister-in-law, let's go look at clothes!"
Looking at the small handful of bean sprouts left in the basket, Wang Erya also wanted to pack up her stall and go with them.
Anyway, the bean sprouts are grown by myself, so there's no need for labor costs, it just takes a little time!
Seeing their anxious expressions, Peach smiled and said,
"You guys go ahead, I'll stay here and watch the stall."
There are a few boxes left here. Oh, and let's keep the bean sprouts too! I'll keep an eye on them.
Seeing her insistence, Wang Erya smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll come and call you when we leave!"
Su Nianxue didn't really want to go, and said to Gu Yanliu, "You and Er Ya go together!"
I'll stay here with Sister Peach!
Besides, I have enough clothes, so I don't need to buy any more.
Gu Yanliu insisted, "Sister-in-law, come with me. I just want to take a look; I'm not going to buy anything."
