Fang Lu looked at the bucket full of dirty clothes under the eaves, and her heart sank. Her father and eldest brother had slaughtered pigs and sheep, and the clothes were stained with blood and grease, making them difficult to wash.
Fang Lu said nothing, picked up the wooden barrel and went to work. The three women in her family were busy with their own work, and the three men in her family were lying on the couch to rest.
Even though she goes out early and comes back late every day to earn money, she still needs to serve the man at home.
This is the case in almost all families, but she just felt uncomfortable.
