Looking at the finally empty house, Mother Gu nodded with satisfaction.
"Go, you and your daughter clean the house, especially the house they lived in. Who knows if there are fleas there. Remember to clean it up, otherwise I won't agree." After saying that, Mother Gu went back to the house to see Gu Tingting.
Old Mrs. He was feeling very aggrieved.
I thought it would be fine if they returned to the mine soon, as they still had the final say here.
So he took He Aihua to clean the house reluctantly.
"Mom, the He family is too much of a bully. They even said they would give my child away." Gu Tingting complained to her mother in a wronged manner.
When Mother Gu heard this, she swung a cold knife towards He Aiqing.
He Aiqing lowered her head and dared not speak.
The money and status he has now are all thanks to the Gu family. He has become accustomed to that kind of affluent life, a life where he doesn't have to worry about food and drink, so naturally he doesn't dare to refute what Gu's mother said.
"Mom, I will treat Tingting well, and I absolutely have no intention of giving the child away." He Aiqing's tone was a little anxious, for fear that Mother Gu would not believe him.
Since Gu's mother had the capital to control him, she naturally didn't worry about what he would dare to do. She said these words just to warn him.
"Mom, don't blame Aiqing. He has always protected me. It's just that mother of his..."
Mother Gu had already experienced what Old Mrs. He did, so she just let it be.
But her daughter had just given birth, so her emotions were inevitably affected. She had been through this before, so she understood.
"It's okay, my girl. Just stay here and take good care of yourself. I don't think that old woman from the He family would dare to cause any big trouble."
"No, mother, I want to go back to the mine. I don't like it here."
"You just gave birth, you can't be exposed to the wind. You're sitting on the tractor and being blown all the way back. Are you going to be healthy?"
"Then I don't want to stay here either." Gu Tingting was determined to leave.
"Don't worry, Mom is here too. After you finish your confinement, Mom will go back with you. You really aren't fit to travel long distances right now, so be good."
Hearing that Gu's mother would also stay here, Gu Tingting finally felt better.
"Old Gu, you and Aiqing should go back to the mine. Come back to visit us when you don't have to work. I'll stay here to accompany my daughter during her confinement period."
When Gu Youcai heard that his wife was not coming home, he was happy in his heart, but his face still showed sadness.
"No, my dear, I can't eat or drink when you're not at home."
"Hate it, what are you talking about? The child is still here. Besides, it will be your turn to rest soon. Come back then and get me some clean clothes. I can only wear our daughter's clothes now." Mother Gu said coquettishly.
"No, mother. Aiqing and I didn't plan to stay here for a few days, so we only brought two sets of clothes."
What's more, it's so hot during the confinement period. I can't take a bath or wash my hair. If I don't change my clothes frequently, I'm afraid I'll become smelly.
"Then, Old Gu, go to town and buy me two sets. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. You two still have to go back to the mine later."
When Old Mrs. He heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.
If Mother Gu doesn't leave, how can I turn things around?
But when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"Mother-in-law, I see you still have a few chickens in your chicken coop. How about this: you kill one for our Tingting to eat first, and then you can kill more after she finishes eating.
By the way, next time don’t serve these chicken heads and chicken butts in front of us. In our house, they are fed to the dogs.
Um, your name is Xiaohua, right? Go wash your sister-in-law's clothes and your niece's diapers. They should be dry after drying overnight."
Old Mrs. He and her daughter were ordered around in circles.
As for Mr. He, after the family property was divided, he was ordered by Mother Gu to go to work.
Poor old man, he hasn’t recovered from the double harvest yet, and now he has to go to work with a group of young men.
He Aihua reluctantly came to the river with a basin of clothes.
In the evening, everyone was washing vegetables by the river, and everyone defaulted to washing clothes early in the morning.
"Hey, daughter of the He family, don't you see everyone is washing vegetables? Why are you washing the diaper pad right above us? Who are you trying to annoy?"
He Aihua was already full of resentment, and when she heard someone talking back at her, she directly retorted, "Why don't you find another job? You insist on washing vegetables behind me, so you deserve to eat shit."
"You're a grown-up girl, why do you speak so harshly? You deserve to be unmarried."
He Aihua hates it most when others talk about her marriage.
"It's your business, but you should just mind your own business."
Eighteen years old was considered old for being unmarried in rural areas at that time, but she was determined to marry into the city, so naturally she looked down on these country folk.
I've been picking and choosing and I'm almost nineteen.
Zhao Dazui, as her name suggests, is not only talkative but also very secretive. If she knows any gossip, the whole village will know it within half an hour.
She is also a matchmaker. All the families with young people of marriageable age ask Zhao Dazui to help them find a marriage.
It was not until someone poked He Aihua's elbow that she looked and realized that the person she was arguing with was Zhao Dazui.
He Aihua curled her lips and stopped talking.
But Zhao Dazui would feel uncomfortable if she didn't talk back, otherwise her nickname of "Big Mouth" would be in vain. Her words were like stabbing with a knife, and every stroke drew blood.
"Oh, I heard your elder brother is a son-in-law. How pitiful! He even made a big fuss about it last time. He said he wouldn't marry anyone who didn't have a large house with two entrances made of blue bricks and tiles. He said he wasn't worthy of you. I think anyone who lives in a straw hut now is worthy of you."
"Hey, I also heard that your eldest brother's mother-in-law is here. Your family is being held in check. Your tough, tough mother doesn't dare to say a word in front of her."
