Women of this era all have a pair of skillful hands. They can play with various colored wool and nylon threads to create new things. The objects they crochet have patterns and hollows, which are neat and beautiful, just like works of art.
My sister-in-law couldn't bear to go to the store to buy a crochet hook, so she thought of a way to save money. She bent a blunt sewing needle with a stone and inserted the tail into a polished wooden handle, which could be used as a makeshift needle.
Some people are more creative and heat the tail of the needle red and insert it into the plastic toothbrush handle, which makes it more secure.
Wang Taozhi was weaving a tablecloth. She first weaved out small flowers with colorful stamens and white petals, about dozens of them.
Arrange them neatly, connect them one by one with nylon thread, and piece them together into a large sheet. After it is roughly formed, weave it around a few times to form a wavy pattern, and a simple, elegant and exquisite tablecloth is completed.
He Ruixue felt a little emotional when she saw her sister-in-law working non-stop. A few days ago, she said that the coasters at home were beautiful and wanted to ask where she bought them. Wang Taozhi said that she crocheted them herself and said that if she liked them, she would crochet a tablecloth for her.
She later forgot about it because she had so many things to do, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law had always kept it in mind and helped her with it whenever she had free time. Judging from the length of the project, it took at least several days.
He Xiaojie sat next to them and learned, but she was clumsy with her hands. After watching for a long time, she didn't even learn the basic needlework and could only knit a scarf with sweater yarn.
Wang Taozhi was busy with her own work while guiding her from time to time, and she was extremely at ease.
Seeing her coming, He Xiaojie hurried to move a stool, "Aunt, did you just wake up and haven't combed your hair yet?"
He Ruixue touched the hair on her head that had stood up due to static electricity and said nonchalantly, "We're all family. We've seen all kinds of slovenly looks. What are you doing sitting in the yard? Who's having a quarrel again?"
"Mom said the light in the room was not good and asked me to come out and bask in the sun. Aunt, please don't say anything. The Sun family just had another quarrel."
"They don't do this every day, so it's not that serious."
Sun Laiyi was used to playing the victim and pretending to be pitiful. The people in the street office felt sorry for her because she had nowhere to go, and they also thought Zhou Erya was hard-hearted, so they came forward to warn her several times.
The Sun family’s house is not small. If she kicks Sun Laiyi out and there is a vacant house, the Housing Management Office will definitely arrange for someone else to live in it.
Even though Zhou Erya was ignorant, she understood that she and Sun Jinbao alone could not guard these rooms, and if outsiders were allowed to move in, their safety would be difficult to guarantee.
Besides, who knows who will own the house after living there for too long, so he had no choice but to let Sun Laiyi live there. However, they usually ate and drank separately, and did not talk to each other when they met.
She thought Sun Laiyi had money and even instigated Sun Jinbao to cheat. But later, seeing that she was busy running outside all day, she cursed her inwardly and ignored her again.
"Today, Sun Laiyi brought back some meat dishes. Sun Jinbao smelled them and insisted on eating them, but she slapped him. Aunt Zhou was so angry that she wanted to fight her, but Sun Laiyi didn't give in and pushed her out and closed the door.
Aunt Zhou banged on the door and scolded her for a long time, but she just sat in the house and ate the meat slowly, then ran to the sink to wash the lunch box, without letting Sun Jinbao drink any soup.
At this point, He Xiaojie's eyes shone with sarcasm. "We've already severed our relationship, yet Aunt Zhou still rushes to eat other people's food and scolds them if they don't give her anything. How shameless!"
"As for Zhou Erya, she said she was breaking off the relationship, but that's just because she didn't want Sun Laiyi to get any benefit from her. If Sun Laiyi has something good, that's another matter."
Wang Taozhi spoke out some people's thoughts. "But I'm really wondering where Sun Laiyi gets her meat from. Even if she's not short of money, Zhou Erya holds all her family's money. Is she going to do something bad again?"
"Who knows?"
Old Wang's wife excitedly joined in their conversation, whispering, "What else can she do? Didn't Zhou Erya say that she's secretly been working as a prostitute, trading her body for meat? Anyway, Sun Laiyi is already a widow, and she has a bad reputation for being unmarriageable. She won't be able to get married in the future. She might as well make some extra money while she's still beautiful."
This was unpleasant to hear. Wang Taozhi curled her lips and said, "It's not good to say something without any evidence. Spit can kill people."
"She's not a grown-up girl anymore, what can't she say? Besides, it was her own mother who spread the news first, so who knows if she heard it? Actually, I don't dare to tell her in person, otherwise what will I do if the ghost in her comes after me?"
If rumors were spread about someone else, He Ruixue would certainly stop it.
But as for Sun Laiyi... Yan Yiyi said so many nasty things after the original owner died. She knew the inside story of the original owner's death, but she added fuel to the fire from behind. She must have been secretly happy in her heart.
The heroine has a strong mental state. A normal person would not be able to sleep after doing so many conscienceless things and would be afraid that the wronged ghosts of the He family would come to claim her life, but she did not feel guilty at all.
Gossip can melt metal. Even after Sun Laiyi was reborn, she still did not stop. She tried time and again to ruin her reputation. No matter how bad the rumors were, she deserved it.
After a few words, He Ruixue stood up, touching her belly, and asked, "Sister-in-law, have you had breakfast?"
"It's so late, you've eaten early. I guessed you didn't eat, so I left some in the pot for you. This morning I made pancakes with multi-grain flour, and I added an egg and chopped green onions to yours, just like you like."
"My sister-in-law still loves me."
Wang Taozhi was so coaxed by this sentence that she lost her mind. "Hmph, you still have a conscience. Your brother doesn't miss you. He took Xiaotuan to go fishing after breakfast. You should know who is the best person for this family."
This is a fight for favor. He Ruixue smiled, walked to the kitchen, and took out the pancakes that were still warm from the pan.
She felt like she was choking if she ate the food without any filling, so she rummaged around for a while and opened the can of shredded pork with Beijing sauce that she had brought back last time. She sat at the table and ate the shredded pork with a pancake.
