Chapter 011 The Fighting Power of Mother Lu
Lu Nan smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. We can do it together, it'll be faster."
Song Li was not the dull person he was supposed to be.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "There's hot water over there; you can fill it up and wash your face."
Lu Nan smiled and said, "Okay."
Actually, cold water is fine in this weather.
But because it's in the mountains.
It was still a bit chilly in the morning.
So Song Li continued to use hot water, just like Lu Nan.
After washing their faces, the two began to have breakfast with Lu's mother.
Breakfast is ready.
My eldest and second uncles came out of the room.
Song Li did not see Lu Cheng.
"Where's Lu Cheng?!"
Lu's mother said, "I don't know him; he went out early this morning."
We all finished breakfast together.
Then I saw my eldest uncle and second uncle go out to work.
Isn't this the time to harvest crops?
Moreover, the land has not been distributed yet.
Why didn't Lu's mother go to do any work?
Song Li had already planned it out; she would cook later and then deliver the food to them.
As a result, Lu's mother started cleaning.
Lu Nan looked at Song Li in surprise: "Sister Song Li, what's wrong?"
Song Li snapped out of her daze: "It's nothing, I was just curious. Isn't it the busy farming season now? Why isn't anyone at work?"
Lu Nan laughed and said, "My mother has never worked. My uncles are the ones who do all the work. Before my eldest brother joined the army, he had to go to work, and later it was my second brother's turn."
Song Li was even more surprised now.
Women don't work in this era.
How many people must be jealous of that!
Song Li wanted to ask: Can the two of them support these four children?
As a result, Lu Nan stepped forward and whispered, "My eldest and second uncles know how to hunt. Sometimes they would sneak up into the mountains to hunt, so we never went hungry."
Song Li then understood.
This has extra skills!
Lu's mother took the clothes and went out.
Lu Nan followed.
Song Li watched and followed along.
She also happened to have clothes to wash.
You can't have someone else wash your clothes.
Looking at Lu Zhou in the yard, Lu's mother said, "Third son, feed the chickens at home and clean the chicken coop."
Lu Zhou nodded: "Understood."
Song Li obediently followed Lu's mother out.
There is a small stream between the two mountains.
The water here is crystal clear.
It's quite wide.
Song Li noticed that several people were already washing clothes there.
They were all very old.
Another possibility is pregnancy.
There really aren't any young people like Lu's mother who didn't go to work.
As soon as Lu's mother arrived, she saw an old woman opposite her saying, "Li Shu is so lucky! She's been married to An Guo and An Bang for so many years and has never worked in the fields."
After he finished speaking, an old woman next to him said disdainfully, "You probably wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like that who never works in the fields."
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "Aunt Liu, you can't find a daughter-in-law as beautiful as me."
Song Li mentally gave it a thumbs up.
She likes this fighting power!
She was initially worried that Lu's mother was being attacked, and whether she should step in to defend her.
After all, she's still a beginner.
I really didn't expect that!
Across from her, Aunt Liu said sarcastically, "Hmph! What good is being good-looking?"
Mother Lu laughed, "How could it be useless? If you were as good-looking as me, you wouldn't need to work in the fields!"
Lu's mother's words were utterly heart-wrenching.
After all, Aunt Liu was married to two brothers, but when she was young, she not only did laundry and cook, but also worked in the fields and took care of the children.
As for why?
Because Aunt Liu's family had sold her to the Liu family for a very high price back then.
Aunt Liu said, "It'll only be a couple of years. Once you're all old and haggard, it'll be the same. Don't forget you're an orphan with no family to support you. If you get beaten up, no one will help you."
Mother Lu: "You have your mother's help, so why didn't she come when you were beaten?"
Aunt Liu clenched her back teeth.
Why does Aunt Liu hate Lu's mother so much?
Because back then, Lu's mother was rescued by Aunt Liu's eldest son and Lu Anguo.
Even now, you can tell that Lu's mother must have been a beautiful young woman when she was young.
Therefore, both of them liked Lu's mother.
Lu's mother was only a few years old at the time.
However, the Liu family was poor, and they certainly wouldn't want to raise a little girl.
In their eyes, girls are just a financial burden.
However, Lu Anguo brought his mother home and raised her as his younger sister.
Later, after he grew up.
Many of the young men in the brigade liked Lu's mother.
However, Lu's mother and Lu Anguo and his brother grew up together.
We both know each other's character.
Even if she were to marry, she would definitely marry one of the Lu brothers, Lu Anguo and Lu Anguo.
Aunt Liu's eldest son has always been fond of Aunt Lu.
He harbored resentment towards Aunt Liu for not agreeing to adopt Lu's mother back then.
After reaching adulthood, he wanted to get married to the Lu family.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
So Aunt Liu immediately thought that Lu's mother was a vixen who had bewitched her son.
As a result, his eldest son is almost forty years old and still not married.
The second and third sons married the same woman.
The eldest son, however, remained listless and depressed.
Then he went outside.
I haven't been back for many years.
An older woman nearby tried to mediate, saying, "Alright, alright, we're all from the same production brigade, what's there to argue about?"
Seeing that Aunt Liu was not saying anything, Lu's mother noticed that Aunt Liu was not speaking.
Put the clothes away neatly.
Song Li grew up in the countryside, and the countryside is not as simple and unadorned as it appears on the surface.
Things are a little better now, though.
Many of them are the kind of people who dislike you for being poor but fear you for being rich.
Everyone looked like they had just finished eating.
I like hardworking people.
If your wife is a little lazy.
In a production team, everyone probably knows which family has a lazy wife.
At this moment, someone was looking at Song Li.
"Li Shu! This young lady looks unfamiliar."
Lu's mother said, "The second son's fiancée."
The man then asked, "The second son, not one from each family."
Song Li: "..."
Well, this is really like a gift delivered right to our doorstep.
Looking at Song Li's red ears, Lu's mother said, "Well, everyone marries their own husband. There are quite a few people in their generation who have married their own husbands."
Lu Nan noticed the awkward look on Song Li's face.
He whispered, "Sister Song Li, don't worry. My eldest brother has joined the army. He said before that he would marry someone else on his own, and so will my third brother."
They were educated and knew that one should marry one wife at a time.
Lu Nan was worried that her aunt's conversation would frighten Song Li, so she explained what she had overheard her older brother and the others saying.
Lu Nan thought that Song Li was from outside and would definitely not be able to accept the atmosphere of their brigade.
There were young wives in the village before.
Before marrying, they don't say how many brothers are involved in the marriage.
I found out later.
Because she's from out of town.
It scared the person so much that they committed suicide.
So these years.
Some people in their brigade also wanted their lives to get better and better, and ideally, they wanted to be able to marry a wife on their own.
Because there are relatively few daughters in the brigade, the native daughters are the ones who have watched their parents grow up.
Therefore, I can accept this kind of life.
But people from other places can't accept it!
Aunt Liu realized she couldn't win the argument with Lu's mother.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
After all, she had often spoken ill of Lu's mother in front of Lu Anguo and Lu Anbang.
The two of them simply wouldn't listen.
That's why she frowned at Lu's mother.
Song Li didn't care.
I just quietly washed the clothes.
