Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 207 Tips
The clothes that Huang Ying was rubbing in her hands were thrown heavily into the wooden basin. She stood up and started to scold, "Hurry up, hurry up, you only care about Cui, Cui Hun, Cui. You think I'm washing too slowly, why don't you wash it yourself?"

"It's so cold, and the water is freezing. Can't you see my hands are numb from the cold?"

Looking at her hands that were red from the cold and numb, Huang Ying wanted to cry.

She really wanted to go back to the past, back to the days when Tao Qiuyi was still at the Huang family. As long as Tao Qiuyi was at home, she would do everything by herself.

It was all Huang Lingyu's fault for coming to recognize her as a relative and driving Tao Qiuyi away, leaving all the housework on her alone.

"You're the one who's stupid, who can you blame?" Huang Lingyu walked up to Huang Ying and said sarcastically, "You chose to wash clothes with cold water, so you deserve your hands to be numb from the cold."

"If we don't use cold water to wash clothes, what kind of water should we use to wash clothes?" Huang Ying asked blankly.

Huang Lingyu looked at Huang Ying as if she were a fool. "You're really stupid, right? You don't need cold water to wash clothes, so of course you should use hot water!"

"Use hot water to wash clothes." Huang Ying looked at Huang Lingyu in shock. This was the first time she had heard someone say to wash clothes with hot water.

"You're really a country girl who grew up in the countryside and hasn't seen the world." Huang Lingyu's face was full of contempt and sarcasm. "Cold water is cold, why are you so surprised about washing clothes with hot water?"

She had no objection to being told she was a country girl, but she didn't like being told she had never seen the world or that she was making a fuss out of nothing.

"You're the only one who's so particular." Huang Ying snorted disdainfully, "You're talking about using hot water to wash clothes? You really don't know where to get the hot water. You still need firewood to boil it."

The villagers stay in their homes during the winter and rarely even take a bath, let alone wash clothes.

I also want to wash clothes with hot water, and I’m not afraid of being laughed at if I don’t tell anyone about it.

Huang Lingyu said, "You're just talking nonsense. You don't need firewood to boil water. What do you use to boil water? People in big cities don't even have water heaters these days."

"Not to mention this poor mountain valley where even birds don't lay eggs."

Huang Ying frowned and asked, "What water heater? I've never heard of it."

"You are a country girl who grew up in a remote area. There are so many good things you have never seen." Huang Lingyu sneered.

"What's wrong with being in a remote village? What's wrong with being in a remote mountain village?" Huang Ying put her hands on her hips and sneered back, "You think you're superior just because you grew up in a big city? Dream on."

"The blood flowing in your body is also the blood of the people in our remote villages and mountain valleys."

"You..." Huang Lingyu was shaking with anger and said viciously, "I kindly reminded you to wash your clothes with hot water, but you didn't appreciate it. Wash them with cold water, and wash them quickly. If you delay any longer, I will strangle you to death."

Huang Ying's eyebrows jumped as she remembered the horrific experience last night. She hurriedly squatted down and continued to wash the clothes in the wooden basin.

I didn't dare look at Huang Lingyu again, for fear of seeing the same ferocious look on her face as last night.

She had intended to taunt Huang Ying, but ended up getting herself pissed off. Huang Lingyu was also feeling irritated. She remembered exactly how much she had brought with her.

When the Tao family got into trouble, Old Man Tao confessed the crime alone, and she was cleared of the charges, but still had to go to the countryside. She took all those things with her, fearing they would be stolen.

She didn't lose any of her belongings when she lived at the educated youth camp, but she lost them when she moved to the Huang family after she was reunited with her relatives, and nothing was left for her.

All her support was gone, gone.

Huang Lingyu gritted her teeth, walked over to the wooden tub, and squatted down. She reached her hand into the tub, and as soon as it touched the water, she withdrew it because it was so cold. "What are you doing?" Huang Ying looked at Huang Lingyu in confusion.

"Since you're taking so long, I'll help you." After trying several times, Huang Lingyu finally got used to the cold water in the tub. "Let's wash together, it'll be quicker."

"You are so kind." Huang Ying didn't believe her words. Huang Lingyu's sudden abnormality must have been up to no good.

I was forced to wash her clothes because she was so cruel last night. She almost strangled me to death, so I had to give in temporarily.

"As long as you listen to me in the future, I will always be so kind." Huang Lingyu grabbed a piece of clothing and rubbed it slowly. "Aunt, has anyone entered my room while I was away?"

Huang Ying was frightened by Huang Lingyu's call of "little aunt" and could not hear what Huang Lingyu said next.

"Answer my question, why are you in a daze?" Huang Lingyu glared at Huang Ying unhappily. In order to get Huang Ying to talk, she endured the biting cold to help her wash clothes.

After hesitating for a moment, Huang Ying decided to tell the truth, "I didn't hear your question clearly. Ask it again."

I didn't hear clearly, she did it on purpose! Huang Lingyu looked at Huang Ying with a scrutinizing gaze. Huang Ying felt guilty and didn't dare to meet Huang Lingyu's gaze.

Huang Lingyu could see that Huang Ying felt guilty, but she was too lazy to care at the moment and asked the previous question again.

As expected, Huang Ying didn't hold back her fart well. Naturally, she wouldn't tell Huang Lingyu the truth. She shook her head guiltily and said, "No, I didn't see anyone enter your room."

After saying that, Huang Ying quickly washed clothes. She didn't see anyone enter Huang Lingyu's room because she was the one who entered Huang Lingyu's room.

At this time, Aunt Li rushed into the Huang family and saw the aunt and nephew washing clothes in the yard.

"Oh, you two, aunt and niece, have such a good relationship. You even wash clothes together in such a cold weather." Aunt Li walked towards them with a smile.

Seeing Aunt Li, Huang Ying felt as if she had been pardoned. She took the opportunity to stand up and walk towards Aunt Li. Smiling, she asked, "Sister Li, who are you looking for when you come to our house at this time?"

Huang Lingyu was too lazy to say hello. She looked up at Aunt Li and then lowered her head to continue washing clothes.

After glancing back, Aunt Li said to Huang Ying, "Xiao Ying, I'm not here to look for anyone. I'm here to give you a heads-up."

"Leaking information?" Huang Ying didn't understand.

Tip off? Huang Lingyu, who was washing clothes, unconsciously slowed down her movements when she heard this. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to what Aunt Li could tell them.

"Yes, I'm here to tip you off." Aunt Li nodded, then asked mysteriously, "Huang Ying, you'll never guess who we saw under the big tree at the entrance to the village today?"

"Who did you see?" Huang Ying asked tactfully.

Glancing at Huang Lingyu, who was washing clothes, Aunt Li replied, "Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan."

"We all live in the same village. There's no need to be surprised when you see Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan." Huang Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Huang Lingyu nodded secretly in agreement.

"Hey, why are you running away with half of it? Wait for me to finish what I am saying." Aunt Li slapped her thigh, and then vividly described the scene when Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan came back.

He told the story with some exaggeration, focusing on how Tao Qiuyi brought Wei Jingyuan back on a bicycle.
