Chapter 24: A basin of water for washing feet
Couples work twice as fast together.
In the past, it was hard to chop firewood, and it took half a day to load firewood. With Lan Niang's help, it is more than twice as easy, and the key is fast.
The sun set, a load of firewood was bundled, and the two went down the mountain together.
The pace is faster than when it came. Carrying firewood on his shoulder, he said in his heart that he would go home early and put it down early.
Hurry up and hurry back to your new home, and it's already dark.
Wild vegetables and mushrooms are carried home in half, and firewood is placed in the new home. The two of them hurried back to the old house. Mo Lanshi stayed at the door as usual, seeing the backs of the two of them, while breathing a sigh of relief, he saw the things he brought back, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Mo Lanshi: "When I go out for a busy day, I'll carry some wild vegetables and mushrooms back." What about firewood? ”
Jiro went to the kitchen to uncover the lid and took out the food left for the two of them. At noon, I ate two wowotou. Hungry, his chest was pressed against his back, regardless of Mo Lan's chatter, he buried his head in eating wildly.
The two of them ate, and Mo Lanshi stopped.
However, Mo Lanshi was very dissatisfied with today's performance, and after saying the accusatory words, he began to arrange work for Erlang.
"Tomorrow you will send back half of the firewood. I know you're separated, but outsiders don't know. But if you divide the money, just say okay, you can't let others find out, our family has already been divided. Mo Lanshi glared and grabbed Erlang.
Jiro nodded, as if agreeing.
Lan Niang washed the dishes of the two of them and boiled hot water for a bath.
Mo Lanshi turned his face to Lan Niang and pointed, "What are you doing with boiling so much water." It's not hard to carry water! Just wash your feet, it's not hot now. ”
The hot water was boiled, and Mo Lanshi took it away.
Lan Niang: "......"
Re-boil the water, and there is not enough water in the tank. The water in the pot is only enough to wash your feet. Make do with a handkerchief and rub it.
When Erlang wiped, he glanced sideways at the east wing from time to time.
Today's water must have been hit by Mo Dalang! It's so nasty! Every time it was his turn to carry water, he only picked up enough water to eat and wash dishes.
Jiro originally wanted to have a shot today.
I haven't taken a bath, I stink, forget it! The idea of living alone became more and more urgent.
The two of them were tired all day and were about to rest, and as soon as they lay down, there was a commotion in the east wing. There seems to be Mo Lan's voice.
Erlang's forehead protruded and turned over.
Lan Niang followed.
In the east wing, the door was obviously kicked open, and the locks were broken. Mo Lan grabbed the hair on Mo Lin's head and shook it back and forth.
Morin stepped barefoot on the concrete floor, covering his face with one hand and protecting his pulled hair with the other.
Mo Dalang was in a hurry on the side, saying back and forth, "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
There was a footbasin on the floor, and the water in the basin was almost empty.
Looking at the situation, Erlang guessed that the eldest brother washed the feet of the sister-in-law and was found by his mother. The mother couldn't help but rush out and beat her sister-in-law.
Mo Lin's clothes were disheveled, his whole body was soaked, and he was dragged and beaten by Mo Lan's family. It's a bit miserable.
Erlang was a little speechless, and pulled Lan Niang back to sleep.
At this stage, seeing that Mo Lan's family has not been wronged, he is not good at being a little uncle. The eldest brother, as a son and a husband, can't be persuaded to go, and it's not good for him to go.
Evacuate quickly.
The two of them retreated, lay on the bed, and waited for a while before Mo Lan's family was satisfied, and went back to the room to sleep, leaving Mo Lin's to cry for a night.
Lan Niang couldn't help but shudder.
Erlang patted Lan Niang's back and comforted: "It's okay." Mother won't beat you like that. ”
"It's all daughters-in-law! Maybe I'll get beaten up one day. Lan Niang was a little scared.
I thought that someone with such a powerful scheming heart as Mo Lin's would still be pressed and beaten by Mo Lan's family.
Mo Lan's beating reminded Lan Niang of being beaten as a daughter-in-law in her previous life.
