Gu Yanli wanted to say: Look, isn't this actually quite fair?

Zhong Meixian slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Our ancestors' graves must be emitting black smoke! We've married such a wicked woman!"

Gu Yanli disagreed, saying, "Didn't she already say that if you treat her well, she'll treat you well too?"

Zhong Meixian raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the new house, then pointed to herself, so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Fortunately, Gu Yanli wasn't in a hurry.

In the end, Zhong Meixian still said, "She's lazy and gluttonous, how can I be good to her?"

Gu Yanli shook his head, "That's how city wives eat."

As for laziness, Gu Yanli felt it was understandable!

Zhong Meixian "..."

Is she from the city?

“He looks like a city person,” Gu Yanli said.

Then Gu Yanli added, "There aren't many people in the city as pretty as her."

"Bang!" Zhong Meixian kicked the stool where Gu Yanli was sitting. "Get out, get out, get out! I can't be bothered to see you. Seeing you is annoying."

"Get out of here!"

"You've forgotten your mother after marrying a wife, get out of here!"

Gu Yanli remained seated, without even staggering, and after Zhong Meixian finished her tirade, he could still smile and ask, "Who are you?"

"what's your name?"

"Aren't you called Zhong Meixian?"

"You married into..." He recited Zhong Meixian's social network as if reciting a memorized text.

Then he laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. When did I ever forget you?"

"I remember you very clearly. Don't worry, I will remember you as my own mother for the rest of my life."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Good heavens, why didn't they just strike her dead with lightning?

On the Gu family's side, Wen Tang and Chi Yue returned from their trip to the supply and marketing cooperative. Luo Tian and Luo Qiao had already returned to their educated youth settlement long ago.

In the dormitory for educated youth, Luo Tian and Luo Qiao shared a room. As soon as they returned to the room, Luo Qiao began to show Luo Tian the nice things he had brought from home.

She took out a stack of receipts, waved them around, and told Luo Tian, ​​"With these things, even if we live in this small village, we won't suffer."

“And…” She opened another box, which was filled to the brim with “soap, shampoo, face cream, and some clam oil.”

Luo Tian's eyes widened when she saw these things. "Why...why did you bring so many?"

"Even the two of us can't use it all!"

Luo Qiao closed the box again, stuffed it under the bed, and clapped her hands. "It's definitely not for the two of us. We can use it to give away!"

"Giving it away?"

Luo Qiao had already opened her mouth, but in the end she said, "Don't worry about this for now, it'll be useful anyway."

She couldn't very well tell Luo Tian that it was meant to be given to the women in Gu Yanli and Lin Jingshen's households.

Luo Tian will definitely find it strange at that time, so we can only keep it a secret for now.

"By the way, where's the toilet? I need to use the toilet."

"Oh, come with me."

After Luo Tian led the person to the toilet, Luo Qiao only went in for a quick look before coming out and standing in the open space, dry heaving.

She overestimated herself.

She thought she was prepared to endure hardship.

After all, she adapted very well when she was with the Luo family.

The Luo family didn't have a flush toilet; it was just a public toilet in their company's apartment, the kind made of cement.

Although there was no partition and it smelled, it was still tolerable.

But it was the toilet in front of her that made her realize the decades-long generational gap.

What was that? It was just a big vat or something standing in that pit, with two wooden planks placed on top, and people squatting on top of it, with...

"Ugh," she couldn't even think about it, because thinking about it made her want to vomit.

Luo Tian glanced at her gagging, then at the toilet that smelled terrible even from outside, and said, "Hold your breath, don't look down, and come out as soon as you're done. It'll be fine."

She was, after all, a native of this era. Although she rarely used such toilets in the city, there were quite a few such toilets outside the main urban area, so Luo Tian could accept it.

Moreover, Luo Tian possesses qualities common to most female protagonists in period novels: a resilient personality and the ability to endure hardship.

But Luo Qiao is not an option.

She was a transmigrator, and she had already experienced better conditions. In the Luo family's environment, she already felt that she was barely accepting it. Coming to this rural area, she couldn't even be considered barely accepting it.

Finally, with no other option, Luo Tian suggested that she use a chamber pot first, and Luo Tian helped her carry it to the toilet to empty it.

Although Luo Qiao felt embarrassed, she reluctantly accepted.

When it was time for dinner, Luo Qiao had little appetite for the food prepared by the educated youth, and only ate a little before returning to her room.

She was having second thoughts, but thinking about the immense wealth she would gain in the future and the halo surrounding the male and female leads, she decided to persevere.

Meanwhile, Wen Tang and Chi Yue, who were cannon fodder female supporting characters, stayed indoors eating melon seeds and peach shortbread. As they ate, it got dark.

Lin Jingshen rode his bicycle home at night and didn't see his wife in the yard, so he ran to the room, but he didn't see her there either.

Lin Jingshen ran back to the neighboring courtyard, just as Gu Jinfeng and the others returned. Lin Jingshen asked, "Mom, where's Xiaoyue?"

Lin Jingshen couldn't see anyone and thought it was Chi Yue who had gone back to her parents' home.

For some reason, the thought of Chi Yue going back to her parents' home made Lin Jingshen think of his cold, empty bed at night.

Gu Jinfeng, carrying a hoe, also looked bewildered. "I don't know?"

"My afternoon..."

Gu Yanli raised his finger and pointed to his room.

Zhong Meixian said irritably, "The two of them have been staying in the house all afternoon."

Gu Yanli immediately corrected him, "He didn't get back until 3 p.m.

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because mentioning it made Zhong Meixian even angrier. "Yes, yes, yes, she went out, she went out to have some fun."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinfeng turned her gaze to her mother.

The others were also looking at Zhong Meixian.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but say, "You didn't see it, did you? She bought a whole basket of food! What decent family can afford to spend like that!"

"They even lied to me, saying they were going to dig up some wild vegetables."

Just then, Wen Tang and Chi Yue came out of the room. Zhong Meixian immediately shut up and quickly turned around and went into the kitchen.

Gu Jinfeng "..."

The others, however, seemed used to it and went about their business.

When Wen Tang came out of the room, she greeted Gu Juyuan and Lin Liansheng, father-in-law and son-in-law, politely, and then asked Gu Yanli, "Mom, what are you making for dinner tonight?"

"I'll go to the kitchen and help her!"

"No need, my older sister is here!"

Gu Juyuan also chimed in, "Yes, daughter-in-law, with your eldest sister here, you don't need to help out."

Although Gu Juyuan had no objection to his daughter-in-law burning down the kitchen, he was afraid!

For people in the countryside, building a house is no easy feat. If the kitchen were to burn down, the loss would be more than just a meal or two!

The family doesn't need another person to cook, so it's best for the daughter-in-law to stay out of the kitchen for now.

With both father and son stopping him, Wen Tang didn't say anything more about going into the kitchen, and Gu Juyuan, the father-in-law, breathed a sigh of relief.
