Yunling shook her head, looked at her flushed cheeks, and said, "You just came back from the fields, you should rest now."
Qin Tiantian came to help, and the two of them finished washing the sheets and duvet covers in no time and hung them out to dry in the yard.
The two sat under the eaves, chatting idly.
Yunling asked about Zhao Wu's job.
Qin Tiantian said, "It seems that Zhao Wu's biological mother saved a child who had fallen into the water. The child's father was a leader in the transportation team. When Zhao Wu reached the required age, that family bought him a job as a driver."
She leaned closer to Yunling and whispered, "Actually, Aunt Zhao wanted to give this job to her biological son. She even brought some gifts when she visited him, but it didn't work out."
Yunling: "That family is sensible and knows how to repay kindness."
Qin Tiantian nodded in agreement.
[Ding! Reward issued: A bottle of sunscreen has been placed in your system space.]
A mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
After hearing what was said, Yunling was overjoyed.
With sunscreen, you don't have to worry about getting a tan.
So happy!
The workday ended with the ringing of the bell, and her mother-in-law, Zhang Guihua, and her two sisters-in-law returned, covered in sweat. Yunling fetched a basin of water for her mother-in-law, reminding her that it was important to maintain good relationships with the person in charge of the household.
Seeing this, Liu Yun muttered, "Sycophant."
Seeing Wang Xiuxiu fetching water, he said wearily, "Xiuxiu, fetch me a basin of water. My arms are so sore today, I can't even lift them."
Wang Xiuxiu glanced at her sister-in-law, who was putting on an act, and also fetched her a basin of water.
Liu Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Ling with a smug expression.
Yunling was speechless. What was there to brag about? She said, "I'm going to help Tiantian cook."
Upon arriving in the kitchen, seeing Qin Tiantian bustling about, she squatted down to help tend the fire.
Zhang Guihua came in, looked at the meat chopped into pieces, and said with a smile, "This meat is quite fatty, very oily, much fatty than the wild boar meat we had last time."
Qin Tiantian: "The last time we ate wild boar was the year before last. It was a small wild boar that Third Brother caught."
Zhang Guihua glanced at Yunling, who was tending the fire, and asked with concern, "Third brother's wife, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"
Judging from her rosy complexion, she shouldn't have been frightened. She had seen the two children earlier; they were lively and energetic.
Yunling: "I feel fine after a good night's sleep."
Liu Yun couldn't help but interject, "Mother, now that my third sister-in-law is feeling much better, does that mean she doesn't need to go with the children to gather pig feed anymore, and can come work in the fields with us?"
Zhang Guihua said irritably, "You talk too much. With so many people in the family working in the fields, how could you be shortchanged? Don't forget, your family has the heaviest burden, with two children to support."
Liu Yun's eyes darted around for a moment, then she said, "...Third brother and sister-in-law will also have children in the future. If third brother and sister-in-law never work in the fields, how will they support their children?"
Zhang Guihua: "We don't have children yet, so what? You think it's unfair? You really have no conscience. Xiao Rui used to be sick all the time. When we had to pay for it, did anyone else in the family say anything?"
Liu Yun replied sheepishly, "No."
Zhang Guihua scolded, "Think more before you speak next time. Our Qin family doesn't raise ungrateful wretches. Besides, your father and I aren't dead yet, and it's not your place to make decisions about family matters."
Liu Yun said, feeling a little aggrieved, "Mother, that's not what I meant."
Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes at her, waved her hand, and said, "Go get some radishes and potatoes, and cut some chives. You and your second son's wife can do it together. Don't always order her around."
Liu Yun responded listlessly.
Zhang Guihua sighed and said, "Your eldest sister-in-law doesn't have any major flaws, but she has a lot of minor ones. If your third sister-in-law does anything wrong in the future, just say it directly. Don't spoil her like your second sister-in-law does."
Yunling nodded immediately.
Zhang Guihua: "Let's hurry up and cook. Your dad and the others have already returned and are at the granary now."
Qin Tiantian immediately responded, "Then I'll hurry up, Third Sister-in-law, can you help me put the pot on the stove? Mom, what other dishes do you want to cook?"
Zhang Guihua glanced around, gritted her teeth, and said, "Make another dish of stir-fried eggs with chives, and this time add two more eggs."
Qin Tiantian readily agreed, took four eggs from the cupboard, cracked them into a bowl, sprinkled some salt, and stirred them well.
