Just then, voices came from the courtyard again.
"Mother, didn't I tell you to wash vegetables with warm water? The well water is icy cold in winter, how can your hands stand it?"
Wan Qiqi squatted down and pulled Wang's hand out of the basin of cold water.
Wang's calloused hands were now red from the cold.
It's easy to see that there are already signs of frostbite!
Wan Qiqi's expression revealed helplessness. She got up and went to the kitchen to prepare hot water, then soaked Wang's hands in the hot water.
Fang Luxue noticed that although Wan Qiqi sounded somewhat impatient, her movements were very gentle, as if she were afraid of hurting the other person.
When Wu Gousheng came out and saw Fang Luxue, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
But in just a second, he regained his composure.
"Sister, leave the house to me. Erpang will come over to help later. You can rest in the yard."
Wan Qiqi nodded, filled a basin with hot water, and handed it over the wall. "Take her with you and teach her."
Fang Luxue was a little confused.
Did you agree to do the work?
In the end, she reluctantly went inside to help.
Wan Qiqi added hot water to the cold water she was washing the vegetables to make sure the water wasn't cold before sitting down to wash them.
“Mother, if you continue like this, you can just lie down like Insect Mother, and I’ll find someone else to do the work.”
After spending more time with Wan Qiqi, Wang realized that when she said she was looking for someone to do the work, she meant paying someone to do the work.
Why pay someone else to do something you can do yourself? Isn't that a waste of money?
"Okay, I won't do it again!"
Wang was about to wash the vegetables together when Wan Qiqi slapped her hand away before it even touched the water.
Wan Qiqi glanced at her and said, "Go sit by the fire!"
Wang lowered her eyes, a hint of disappointment in her expression.
"Qiqi, boiling water requires firewood, and I want to save some."
"Isn't the mountain of firewood in the backyard enough for you to burn?"
Wan Qiqi's retort left Wang speechless.
“It’s not like there’s no man in the family. We can chop more firewood and fetch more water. But if someone gets sick, it’s not only time-consuming and expensive, but it also makes people feel uncomfortable.”
Wan Qiqi glanced at Li Chongniang, "Your task is to look after your mother, how come you can't even do that well? There won't be any eggs for lunch!"
Li Chongniang looked at Wan Qiqi innocently, feeling somewhat wronged.
Not everyone is like the eldest sister-in-law, daring to speak ill of her mother-in-law.
Even if it's Aunt Zhang, no matter how arrogant she is, isn't she still afraid of Old Mrs. Chen?
