Chapter 102 After Returning to the Village
(I'm not feeling well today, I have a severe headache, and I typed some words intermittently, (+﹏+)~ Hurry up and go to bed first, and one more nonsense, readers, reading is suitable, don't stay up late, if you stay up late, drink more water)
The fat sister-in-law called out to the two women who were not good with her, and talked about going to the stream to do laundry together. At this time, there were not many people there, and they could still occupy a good place.

The three of them exchanged the gossip they had heard with each other, the chatter was full of joy, a tall woman didn't know what she was listening to, she covered her mouth and smiled, and patted the fat sister-in-law, holding the laundry tub to change On the other side, I was thinking about what to say, when I suddenly saw half of the old women coming in front of me.

She bumped the fat sister-in-law with her elbow, and called out to the old woman in front, "Hey, Mother Chu Ge, are you there?"

Holding the wooden basin, Shen raised her head when she heard the sound, and met Fat Sister-in-law and the others face to face, thinking inwardly that she was unlucky, why did she meet so many people so early in the morning.

She frowned and smiled superficially, "Hey, why are you?"

Fat sister-in-law smiled and pointed to the two wives beside her, "No, why don't you and my sister come to do the laundry?"

The tall woman said to Shen, "Mother Chuge, your eldest daughter-in-law has been around for seven months, why don't you stay at home and stay with her?"

Mrs. Chen smiled, and said hello to them before leaving, "Hey, ignore her, it's not that there is no one else at home, I don't need to keep an eye on her, so I'll leave first..."

The short woman next to the fat sister-in-law stood in front of Shen Shi, and glanced at her basin, which contained several twisted clothes.

She smiled, "Oh, aunt, I remember you moved to the village on August [-]th."

Shen looked at her incomprehensibly, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

The short woman shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that I saw you moved back to the village for a month, and this is the first time I see you washing clothes by the stream?"

The fat sister-in-law also joined in, "Hey, that's right, aunt, isn't your second wife's daughter-in-law usually doing laundry by the stream, why is it you now?"

Still smiling on Shen's face, she waved her hands, "Hey, it's not like whoever is free can do the laundry."

The tall woman squinted at her, and smiled, "Hey, Chu Ge's mother, I think someone is playing tricks on you, or it's your turn..."

After hearing this, Shen's face became tense, "She dares! I'll give them both courage!"

The fat sister-in-law secretly smiled, nudged the tall woman with her elbow, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, our Aunt Chu is not such a soft person, how could the Chu Ge family ride her?" Domineering over the head."

Shen's face was dark, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and left after a few words of politeness with them, "No, it's not that you don't know my temper. Busy, I'll go back first."

The fat sister-in-law and the two women responded to Shen, and went to the stream with a wooden basin. They found a place where the sun was high and squatted. It was October at this time, and the sky was already a bit cold. up.

The tall woman took out a piece of clothing from the basin and dipped it into the stream, grabbed the stick and patted it while saying, "Hey, I see what Chu Ge's mother said just now, that is to slap a swollen face to make a fat person, and she Can control that lazy woman."

The fat sister-in-law smiled and spread the clothes on a stone, and patted it left and right with a wooden stick, "The aunt also said nicely, what's 'whoever is free, do the laundry', I see, it's from the second child's family. If you are willing to wash her clothes, the old aunt will carry them to do the washing by herself."

The short woman picked out a few gowns from her basin, and said, "Hey, let me tell you, that aunt does not wash her own clothes. Didn't you see just now that there are clothes in her basin? They are all new clothes, but they are all bright colors, which is not something she can wear."

The tall woman stopped thinking about it, looked at her and said, "Auntie, according to what you said, Chu Ge's mother didn't wash her own clothes, so maybe she should wash the clothes of the second child's family."

The short woman grabbed the clothes and washed them in the water for a few times, then said, "Oh, no, I mean that aunt, she just washed the clothes for the elders, and there is a peachy one in the basin. Yesterday I saw the old man wearing it."

The tall woman wrung out a piece of clothes, and said to her, "I mean, recently I have seen this Chu Ge get up early in the morning and beat my yard with a wooden basin. No one has been there for a long time, so wash the clothes of the elders first."

The fat sister-in-law grabbed a piece of clothing from the basin, curled her lips, "Oh, this Chuge's is really real, since I asked my mother-in-law to wash the clothes, it's really not a good thing!"

The tall woman knew that the fat sister-in-law didn't want to see the Chu Ge family, so she didn't continue to nag, she just said, "Oh, but it's true, if it were me, I wouldn't do laundry for the elders, either. Let's not talk about other things, but the boss drove Chu Ge to Xiayang Village earlier, and that lazy woman can't let her."

The short woman said, "Hey, don't the two of them live together, what about washing clothes..."

The fat sister-in-law and the tall woman yelled together, "What's wrong with living together, why do you wash clothes!"

The short woman was taken aback by the two of them, "Oh, what are you two doing, who bit you? They are all in a family partnership, why can't you help with the laundry."

The tall woman snorted, "You, you are lucky. You are not with your uncles and sisters. I will talk about many things here."

The fat sister-in-law said to the short woman, "No, if the Chu Ge family really wants to live together as a family partnership, then why ask the uncle to pay for the food."

The tall woman said, "Hey, but the uncle is willing to pay for the food expenses. I've heard what the good six families have said."

The short woman murmured, "Why don't we say that the Chu Ge family is capable? Thinking back to earlier, when Sister-in-law Dao asked his uncle for food, they quarreled from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and in the end they killed the second uncle. After all the quarreling, her brother-in-law just paid for the money, but it's good for her, she took out the money willingly."

The fat sister-in-law was upset when she heard that someone praised Xiu Niang, and wanted to say something, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Xiu Niang and Liu Shi also coming here.

She looked at her scalp numb, as if what Xiu Niang was holding was not a wooden basin, but an ax that would fly towards her at any moment.

The fat sister-in-law's expression changed, and she told the two wives that soup was still stewed on the stove at home, so she had to go back and have a look, then hurriedly packed her clothes and left.

Xiuniang and Mrs. Liu were walking on the other side of the creek. They saw that the two wives had no friendship with them, so they decided to wash here.

Mrs. Liu squatted down and found a few stones to pad behind, lifted her skirt and sat on top, took out her clothes and soaked them in the water, she looked up and saw the fat sister-in-law leaving in a hurry, she glanced at Xiuniang thoughtfully, and thought to herself smiled.

She put the clothes aside and said, "Sister, it seems that I have never told you?"

Xiuniang was not used to using a laundry stick, so she directly soaked the clothes on a flat stone slab and scrubbed them. After listening to Mrs. Liu, she smiled and said, "What?"

Mrs. Liu patted her clothes with a washing stick, and smiled, "You're also a limp woman."

Xiuniang paused for washing her hands, and looked at Shen with wide eyes, "Sister-in-law Liu, are you talking about me?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, and continued to work on her hands, "Well, that's right."

Xiu Niang shook her hands and asked, "What is it, Sixth Sister-in-Law, where have I become so listless?"

Mrs. Liu wiped the water beads off her face, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, I'm just kidding you,"

Xiuniang pursed her lips, and continued to wash the clothes in a thoughtful manner, "Sister-in-law Six, you are too, this is talking about the old man..."

Liu Shi and Xiu Niang laughed and chatted, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, sister, didn't you ask your sixth brother to find a job for your uncle in the town earlier, this seems to be a little bit of a clue .”

Xiu Niang looked back at her, and said happily, "Really, Sixth Sister-in-law, that's great, I'll go back and tell my elder brother in a while."

Mrs. Liu looked at her and shook her head, "Hey, sister, why don't you ask me to talk about you? I really haven't seen me like you. I vacated the house for the two of you to live in, and I still want to help you. People are looking for a job, hey, you..."

Xiu Niang just smiled when she heard it, but in fact she did this for Chu Ge, thinking that two months ago, she brought Chu Ge back from Yang Shi, and she and Yang Shi had a fierce quarrel at that time, and the two families were secretly There will be no more contacts, let's put this aside in advance.

It’s just that after that incident, Chu Ge always felt that Chu Fu was delayed, thinking that his elder brother had no work and no place to live, if he didn’t go to Shangyang Village earlier, let Yang give Chu Fu’s work first , Don’t be a foreman, even if it’s a small laborer carrying goods, so at least you can have a stable income.

Especially two months ago, Chu Fu felt a little guilty, and talked to Wen's about taking out the money he had saved, saying that it was added to the family to subsidize the family.

Although Xiuniang knew that it was impossible for the Wen family to give them all, she decided to keep some silver for herself as a backup, but in Chu Ge's eyes, it was full of brotherhood.

It would be bad for her to talk about something at that time, so she might as well find a way to prevent Chugo from being so troublesome.

Mrs. Liu was talking to herself, seeing that Xiuniang was not listening, she called out to her in dissatisfaction, "Hey, sister, did you hear what I said?"

Xiu Niang came back to her senses and looked at Liu Shi, "Sister-in-law Liu, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Liu gave her a look, "I said, you are looking for jobs for your uncles today, but tomorrow you will help them find a big house to live in. I think the old man is about to give birth!"

After thinking about it, Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Well, yes, I have this plan."

Mrs. Liu let out a "tsk", "Oh, I said you girl..."

Xiu Niang then laughed and said, "I found a job for my eldest brother, so he can have money to pay for the big house, then nothing happened..."

Mrs. Liu twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this. This girl is really so wilted...
