chapter 38: There is always something hateful about pitiful people

After the mosquito nets on both sides were hung, Lin Wanshu said, “The water is already hanging there.

When she wakes up, take her to pee and make milk for her.”

She made an appointment with Ji Hualan to wash clothes together later. Seeing that his leg seemed to be fine, Lin Wanshu didn’t bother to be polite with him and directly assigned the task.

Qin Yan listened to her detailed explanation without a trace of impatience on his face, and nodded seriously.

“Okay, I got it.”

Knowing that he was calm and reliable, Lin Wanshu had nothing to worry about.

After the explanation, she went out.

The sun rises early in the summer. It was just past five o’clock, and the sky was already white.

Lin Wanshu picked up the bucket of dirty clothes, took out a soap, and went out.

Ji Hualan said that the place to wash clothes was in a small river near the family compound.

Although the family compound did not need to fetch water, everyone thought that washing clothes in the river was cleaner, and generally no one washed them at home.

Lin Wanshu came to the door of Ji Hualan’s house with a bucket.

But before she could shout, she saw Ji Hualan coming out of the shower room with a bucket.

“Wanshu, why are you here so early? I was going to look for you.”

She asked in surprise.

“I was afraid that I would not have a good position if I was late, so I got up early.”

Generally, you have to find a suitable stone to wash clothes by the river, but there are limited stones, so you have to go early to get a good position.

Ji Hualan had obviously suffered from not getting a good position before, so after hearing what she said, she didn’t say anything more, and walked out of the door quickly with the bucket.

“Let’s go, I know which position is the most comfortable for washing clothes. Let’s go early while it’s still early.”

Lin Wanshu had just arrived and didn’t even know where the river was.

She decided to follow Ji Hualan all day.

The two walked side by side, talking and laughing, all the way to the back door of the family compound.

“Hey, Wanshu, how did you make the egg cake yesterday? My two kids made a fuss all night after eating it, and they insisted that I make it for them today.”

She also tasted a small bite of yesterday’s egg cake, and the taste was simply amazing.

It is fragrant, sweet, soft and dense.

Not only do children like it, but even an adult likes it.

They were all very greedy.

In this era, business is not allowed. If anyone has a good dish, they are basically willing to share it with others.

Anyway, there is no loss, and it can also bring people closer together, so why not?

Lin Wanshu naturally had no intention of hiding it.

Anyway, she was not going to do business.

“This is very simple. I’ll teach you when you want to do it.”

Seeing her so generous, Ji Hualan liked her even more.

The two men were originally partners. As family members, it would be great if they could get along well.

Before she came to the family compound, Ji Hualan was a little worried that she would not get along with her.

Unexpectedly, she was not very old, but she could be so thoughtful in everything.

In return, Ji Hualan naturally told her the general situation of each family in the family compound without reservation.

Before reaching the river, Lin Wanshu had a better understanding of the family compound.

The focus is Huang Fengying and her mother-in-law!

“It is said that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. We all advised her not to give her job to her sister-in-law.

Guess what? They even said that we were trying to sow discord between her and her mother-in-law!”

She was a military wife in the city and still had a job. Marrying Zhou Tianzhu, who came from the countryside, was already marrying down. Why should she be so wronged?

But she felt guilty and sorry for the Zhou family. No matter how they advised, she was determined to give her job to her sister-in-law.

She thought that by doing so, her mother-in-law would at least remember her and treat her better.

But she didn’t expect that since she lost her job and gave birth to three daughters in a row, she was either beaten or scolded by her mother-in-law every day, living like a young wife in the old society.

Lin Wanshu didn’t comment too much on Huang Fengying’s experience.

It was other people’s business, and it had nothing to do with her.

After going out the back door, less than a hundred meters away was the small river where they usually washed clothes.

“Our land is over there, and we also draw water here to grow vegetables. It’s very convenient.”

Ji Hualan pointed to the right.

Lin Wanshu looked in the direction of her hand and saw a large green vegetable field.

Looking at the green vegetables growing well, she felt itchy and wished she could open a field soon.

“That’s a paddy field. We can harvest rice in a few days.

Ji Hualan pointed to the golden rice fields in the distance.

Both the vegetable fields and the paddy fields are on both sides of the river, so watering is indeed very convenient.

Ji Hualan was pointing out the place where Lin Wanshu would be farming in the future, when suddenly, a voice full of resentment came from behind her.

“Wanwan, why didn’t you call me when you were washing clothes?”

Seeing that it was Yu Fangfang, Ji Hualan was a little shocked.

I don’t know whether she was shocked that she came to wash clothes, or shocked that she called Lin Wanshu so intimately.

Unable to help, Ji Hualan asked: “Wanshu, do you know Comrade Yu Fangfang?”

Otherwise, how could she, a person with high eyes, be so good to Lin Wanshu?

Hearing this, Yu Fangfang rolled her eyes.

“We met yesterday, why, you are allowed to be good to Wanwan, but I am not allowed to be close to me?”

After saying that, she stood on the other side of Lin Wanshu with a bucket.

If you don’t know, you might think she is jealous.

Lin Wanshu was a little helpless and a little funny.

“I didn’t know you got up so early, so I didn’t call you.”

Hearing this, Yu Fangfang’s face flashed a trace of discomfort, and then she straightened her chest and said: “That was in the past.

I will get up very early in the future. Remember to call me when you wash clothes in the morning.”

Ji Hualan: …

Did she take the wrong medicine? Or is the sun about to rise from the west?

Who doesn’t know who Yu Fangfang is?

She said she liked to wash clothes at home, but in the end it was discovered that Feng Yandong secretly washed her clothes in the shower room at night.

However, although she was shocked, Ji Hualan naturally would not refuse her to wash clothes with them.

After passing through the winding path, they arrived at the river in a short while.

The stream is quite wide, and the water flow is relatively gentle. There are large and small irregular stones on both sides of the river.

Those flat stones are probably washed every day, and the surface has been smoothed.

When they arrived, there were already several military wives washing clothes on the stone beach.

Huang Fengying was among them.

She was sitting on a rock, holding a pair of shoes in one hand and a mallet in the other, beating the clothes in front of her. Her big belly trembled with her movements

What happened? Did your mother-in-law beat you? “

Yang Zheng looked at her red and swollen right face and couldn’t help asking with concern.

Hearing this, Huang Fengying subconsciously turned her head away and stammered, “No, why would my mother-in-law beat me? I accidentally bumped into the wall last night.”
