Su Yani was staring at the dark sheets and pillows that seemed to emit a strange greasy smell. When she heard her exaggerated voice, she quickly got up to help her.
"Please go in and lie down for a while. Leave these to me."
Before entering the house, Wu's mother seemed to remember something and turned around and instructed, "When you have time, sweep the yard a few times. Just sweep it casually, don't be too thorough."
"oh."
Suyani's eyes fell on the weeds and garbage that filled the yard.
There were three families living in this yard before, but on weekdays they only cared about what was in front of their own house.
The couple in the east room had just moved out two days ago, and the landlord swept all the garbage in the house into the yard, without enough time to clean it up.
In addition, the Wu family had only moved in a few days ago. The weeds in front of the house had been dug out by the men with hoes before, but after being exposed to the sun, they had all turned into dead grass, and when the wind blew, they were blown everywhere.
Now the whole yard is full of garbage and weeds, it is dirty and messy.
If I really want to clean all of this up, it will probably take a lot of time and effort.
For Suyani, who had never done any work before, washing such a large basin of clothes was already tiring enough. If she had to clean the yard as well, she didn't know if she would faint from the heat.
However, she was now in a difficult situation and had no way to refuse.
"It is a blessing for Haishan to find such a good daughter-in-law like you."
Mother Wu looked extremely satisfied. After she finished speaking with a smile, she walked into the house and lay down comfortably on the bed to rest.
In the small living room, Wu Chunlian saw everything that had just happened through the half-broken glass window.
I quietly ran to the inner room and lay down beside the bed: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Wu fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan and glanced at her unhappily: "What can I do?"
"When a new daughter-in-law comes home, it's like this in every family. I'm teaching her how to be someone else's daughter-in-law."
"Hmph, don't think that just because her sister, that old aunt, has a few bucks, she can really think of herself as a rich lady who has never had to do housework. When she comes to my house, even a rich lady has to work honestly for me. What's more, she is just a country girl. How dare she turn her face away from me?"
Wu Chunlian's eyes lit up.
"That's right. Isn't she just a wild girl from the countryside? And she's an orphan. What's so arrogant about her? It's a pity that our whole family came here with sincerity, but in the end, her sister, that old woman, gave us a cold shoulder."
"Do you really think you are some big shot? You look down on us."
In fact, Wu Chunlian had disliked Su Yani for a long time.
What the hell, isn’t she just a country girl like her
Why does she live better than her? Why does her sister buy her everything she wants
Why can she go to college while I can’t even graduate from junior high school
How come she could find such a good man like her brother, but she is 19 and doesn't even have anyone to propose marriage to her
Wu Chunlian probably forgot how much dowry her mother asked for when the matchmaker came to ask.
Mother Wu saw through her daughter's little plot and slapped her on the head with a fan, glaring at her sternly:
"I'm warning you, don't get involved in your brother's affairs. If you mess things up for me, I will immediately marry you to the village bachelor Li Lame."
Wu Chunlian quickly retracted her thoughts, covered her head, and pouted: "Mom, what are you talking about? How can I do that? I'm waiting to open a clothing store after I get the shop."
