The next morning, Jiang Xiaohe was awakened by the crowing of the neighbor's rooster. Perhaps because she was too tired the previous night and had no sleep until dawn, she had a good sleep.

As soon as I woke up, I felt my chest was swollen. I turned around to look at the baby, but he was still sleeping soundly and didn't wake up in the middle of the night.

She touched the baby's breath, then stood up, braided her hair, wrapped the headscarf on the shelf on her head, got up and went out to the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon.

Wang Qiuxia was sweeping the yard. When she saw her wake up, she immediately pointed to the kitchen and said, "There's rice in the pot."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "No hurry, I'll feed Chuan'er first."

Wang Qiuxia nodded and used a dustpan to pick up the garbage in the yard.

In the kitchen, Jiang Xiaohe scalded the bowl with hot water, then she went back to the room to express milk. The little baby seemed to be able to smell the milk, and he woke up as soon as she finished expressing milk.

Screaming loudly.

After feeding him milk, she saw that he had peed, so she followed the method of the original owner in her memory, changed his clothes, and carried him out: "Mom, take care of Chuan'er for a while, I'll have breakfast."

Wang Qiuxia quickly washed her hands and took the person over.

Jiang Xiaohe also eats corn porridge in the morning. To be honest, it’s okay to eat it once or twice, but if you eat too much, your stomach will be full of acid.

But now it's good enough to have something to eat. She sighed in her heart and decided that she must make good money to improve her family's life as soon as possible.

While eating, I chatted with Wang Qiuxia about family matters.

"Dad is not at home?" Jiang Xiaohe asked.

Wang Qiuxia patted Zhang Chuan on the back and said with a smile, "Your father went up the mountain to collect firewood. I thought I would bring some back to dry and dry them. When the market comes, I will take them to the town to sell."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, thinking that there was no lazy person in this family, and their lives would definitely get better and better in the future.

After breakfast, she put away the dishes and packed up her dirty clothes, ready to go to the river to wash them. The most important thing was that she only had two sets of clothes that she needed to change every day, so she had to wash them every day. Yesterday she went to town and Wang Qiuxia helped her wash them. Today she had time, so she couldn't trouble Wang Qiuxia to wash them again.

Seeing her holding the basin, Wang Qiuxia hurriedly took it over: "Go, mother, Chuan'er has fallen asleep, and you were tired yesterday, so take a good rest."

"Mom, there's nothing to be tired about yesterday. It was just some talking, it's okay."

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of soapberries from under the eaves and went to the river.

When we got to the river, many people were already washing clothes.

Zeng Hua is also there.

As soon as I saw her coming, I quickly called her over.

Jiang Xiaohe didn't hesitate and walked over directly. When a woman nearby saw her coming, she quickly picked up the basin and walked away with a look of disgust on her face.

Zeng Hua shouted at her, "Don't worry about her. What good is she to be such a woman in this village? She looks down on others."

The woman who had just left pouted and stamped her feet. Seeing that she was sure she couldn't scold the two of them, she had to pick up the basin and leave.

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for standing up for me."

"We're a family, so why thank you?"

While the two of them were washing clothes, chatting and laughing, Li Taohua and He Qing came over.

As soon as Li Taohua saw Jiang Xiaohe, she immediately touched her sister-in-law's arm and gave her a look.

He Qing cleared his throat, walked over with Li Taohua, and they stopped next to Jiang Xiaohe.

He Qing put down the basin in annoyance: "I really don't know why the village chief allowed this woman who ruined the reputation of the village to continue to stay in the village."

Li Taohua immediately agreed: "That's right, she just killed her husband and then she got married right away, it's really unlucky."

Jiang Xiaohe is not the turtle in the river. She cannot tolerate such indirect criticism.

But before she could say anything, Zeng Hua spoke for her: "Some people are really meddling in other people's business."

He Qing and Li Taohua were gagged.

He Qing wanted to curse back, but Li Taohua helped her. She had another trick up her sleeve, so what was there to be afraid of!

He Qing was so angry that he hit the clothes in his hand several times with a wooden stick. If it were a human, his head would probably be beaten into a paste.

Li Taohua suddenly smiled and said to Zeng Hua as a reminder: "Second Aunt Zhang, what kind of people are walking together? You should stay away from a widow like Jiang Xiaohe."

Zeng Hua didn't like what she heard. She threw away the clothes in her hand and became angry instantly. She put her hands on her waist and pointed at her: "Li Taohua, what do you mean? What? Curse me? And curse my husband?"

When Li Taohua saw Zeng Hua was angry, she was a little scared. Everyone in the village knew that Zeng Hua was a famous shrew!

She hurriedly explained, "No, no, Second Aunt Zhang, how could I curse you? What I meant is that Jiang Xiaohe is a widow. It would be unlucky to get involved with her."

Jiang Xiaohe: Is this a personal attack? You are unlucky, and your whole family is unlucky.

Zeng Hua was so angry that he looked at Li Taohua and said unhappily, "Li Taohua, you are still an unmarried girl. You keep gossiping about these things in the village like a gossiper. Why haven't you married yet? I'm afraid no one would dare to marry someone like you, right?"

These words really hit the nail on the head for Li Taohua's rebellious nature. There were other women nearby, and everyone looked at Li Taohua with pity for her.

Li Taohua's face turned red and blue, and her eyes were immediately filled with tears. She looked aggrieved. Who could she blame for delaying it until now? It was Jiang Xiaohe in front of her. When Zhang Dashan was discussing marriage, she instigated her parents to mention it to Zhang's family. Aunt Wang had agreed, but Zhang Dashan went to the market in town and fell in love with Jiang Xiaohe, a vixen, which delayed her.

She blamed all the faults on Jiang Xiaohe, not knowing that when their family came to discuss this matter, Wang Qiuxia just responded with a few words, saying that they would discuss it after Zhang Dashan came back, and she did not directly agree to the marriage!

Moreover, it was she who decided to marry Zhang Dashan at the beginning. Her family had found someone to matchmake for her, but she refused. Now that she is old, such a good marriage will naturally not fall into her hands.

Jiang Xiaohe gave Zeng Hua a thumbs up.

Zeng Hua raised his head slightly towards her, glared at Li Taohua unhappily, then squatted down and continued washing clothes.

Li Taohua looked at the faint smile on Jiang Xiaohe's face and felt that the smile was almost blinding her eyes.

Without thinking, he yelled at Jiang Xiaohe, "Jiang Xiaohe, you are a jinx. You killed Brother Dashan. The grass on his grave hasn't even grown yet, and you've married someone else. Even though you ran away from your marriage, you think you're a good person. Don't think I don't know. I saw everything you did with your father-in-law Zhang Fu in the reed marsh yesterday!"
