In the woodshed, a mother and daughter were reuniting, while over there, Mrs. Sun was calling Tao Xiaoxi "Beibei's mother" at the top of her voice, as if a woman had lost her name after getting married and having children. Tao Xiaoxi was very disgusted.
"Mom, what's the matter?" But she got into the role quickly this time and asked.
"Look, the clothes haven't been washed yet. You can take them and wash them. Rinse the urine bucket while you're at it." Mrs. Sun said with ease.
"Urine bucket?" Tao Xiaoxi was afraid that she had heard it wrong.
"Yes, it's in the corner of the room. You've brushed it before." Mrs. Sun said suspiciously.
In the past, washing clothes, cooking, emptying urine and removing manure were all done by her daughter-in-law Tao Xiaoxi. Now that she is back, it is natural that she has to do it again. It is icy and snowy here, and the river water is covered with ice. She has only washed her hands for the past few days and their hands are already frozen.
Tao Xiaoxi cursed her in her heart, "You old woman!" but responded with "Okay, okay." When she came out with the dirty clothes, she went to her mother-in-law's room.
"Is there anything else?" Mrs. Sun was holding a needle and thread in her hand, but she couldn't thread the needle for a long time.
Tao Xiaoxi grabbed it, put it on in a few seconds and handed it back. For a second or two, Mrs. Sun felt as if the person in front of her was not her daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law was not so efficient.
"Mom, I want to discuss something with you." Tao Xiaoxi said.
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Sun looked at Tao Xiaoxi, very curious why she came to discuss something with her. This had never happened before. When was it her turn to be in charge of this family?
But it doesn't hurt to listen.
"You see, I just made such a mistake and brought shame to the Sun family. I am probably going to lose my son. But it doesn't matter if I lose this life. Wangcai is the only heir of the Sun family. We can't let the Sun family die out," Tao Xiaoxi deliberately stopped and looked at her mother-in-law when she said this.
"Keep talking, what should we do if we can't have no descendants?" Mrs. Sun was irritated by what she heard, these words were irritating to her.
"So, I was wondering if we could do this," Tao Xiaoxi looked at her mother-in-law again.
"Why don't you tell me what's going on? Stop breathing so hard that it drives me crazy."
Tao Xiaoxi pulled a stool over, sat down, and said, "Since Wangcai and Youhua are interested in each other, why not let Youhua be the heir to our Sun family? I will definitely raise him as my own son. No, I'll love him even more than my own daughter."
"Are you serious?" Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter-in-law and was overjoyed.
"I swear to heaven, if I, Tao Xiaoxi, tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and live alone for the rest of my life." Tao Xiaoxi swore while holding up four fingers.
After she finished swearing, Mrs. Sun pretended to stop her and said, "Look, what are you swearing? How can I not believe you? I'm thinking about how to make Youhua willing to inherit our Sun family." Mrs. Sun was tempted, hesitated, and took the bait.
Tao Xiaoxi told Mrs. Sun about her plan in detail.
One of them was talking with great joy, while the other was listening with a smile on his face.
"Can it really work?"
"It will definitely work."
"Let's do it this way." Mrs. Sun slapped her thigh.
"But..." Tao Xiaoxi looked at her mother-in-law with a sad expression.
"Oh, Beibei's mother, I just don't like the way you hesitate. If you have something to say, just tell me. We are all family, so let's not be mean." Mrs. Sun said affectionately again.
"But I don't have money, so I can't buy good wine and food." Tao Xiaoxi then told the truth.
"Oh, this matter," Mrs. Sun hesitated a little, "it's a tricky one."
Seeing this, Tao Xiaoxi felt even more sad. "Why don't we wait a little longer? There's no rush. I'm just worried that Youhua's family will arrange a marriage for her. Then..."
"Don't waste any more time. I have money. You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy it now." Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth and decided to go for it.
Tao Xiaoxi laughed to herself, "Mom is so thoughtful. I'll go buy them right away. What about these clothes?"
"Leave it there for now. I'll go wash it. You should hurry up and don't miss the important matter. If you're late, all the meat will be gone." Mrs. Sun urged.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Tao Xiaoxi got up and left with the money.
When she went out, she waved to Beibei who was hiding behind the door, "Come, I'll take you to the street."
Beibei's eyes widened as he asked her, "Mom, can I really go out on the street?"
"Just follow me." Tao Xiaoxi said with a smile, took Beibei's hand and went out.
At this moment, Mrs. Sun had no time to care whether her granddaughter went out to the street. She only cared about whether she could hold her grandson. As soon as Tao Xiaoxi left, she went into her son's room and asked him to find Yao Youhua.
But Tao Xiaoxi was not a diligent person. As soon as she went out, she turned in another direction and went towards Li Nanshan's house.
"Mom, don't go this way when you go out." Beibei looked at her in confusion.
"I know. We won't walk today. We'll ride bikes." Tao Xiaoxi said mysteriously.
"But we don't have a car." Beibei's expression darkened.
"Wait, I'll make a car for you."
The change that Tao Xiaoxi mentioned actually meant borrowing from Li Nanshan. There were no more than ten families in the entire Mantou Village who owned bicycles, and Li Nanshan's family had two, one for Li Nanshan and one for his second brother. As for the eldest brother, he was not qualified to own a bicycle because he had no second brother and no daughter.
But everyone in Mantou Village knew that these two bicycles were bought with Li Nanshan's salary. Because he was not married yet, his salary became the public property of the entire Li family.
When she was almost at Li Nanshan's house, she didn't go any further. She couldn't offend Old Li at this moment, otherwise her plan would be ruined. So she pulled Beibei to lean against the persimmon tree and waited.
"Beibei, are you cold?" Tao Xiaoxi pulled her daughter towards her.
"It's cold, not cold!" Beibei nodded and then shook her head. She didn't want to make her mother worry.
