Chapter 61: A Few More Days Until Going Home
The people from the Lu Family, after finishing their work, could smell the enticing aroma wafting from Shen Meng’s home, which made their stomachs growl with even greater hunger. Once they got home, Xie Jinghao was still lying on the kang bed, the kitchen was cold with no sign of cooking, and there wasn’t a bite of food to eat. This stark contrast inevitably made people feel irritated.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, all day long, like the lady of the manor. Who knows when she’ll wake up? Others have worked hard all morning, and she just sleeps like a log."
Liu Sanjin grabbed the dirty clothes from the line and angrily threw them beside the water jar.
"Mom, don’t rush, I’ll go cook. Let elder sister-in-law come help!"
"Help with what? Jiaojiao, you go cook by yourself. Let your elder sister-in-law wash all the clothes at home. Every day is so busy, and there’s a pile of chores to do. Some people are blind as bats."
Liu Sanjin’s speech was indirectly criticizing Xie Jinghao’s room, filled with dissatisfaction in her heart.
Zhou Jiaojiao’s facial expression paused for a moment, then with a sigh of "ai," she went into the kitchen, though she had initially thought to help Wu Xianglan with the fire and let her cook.
However, she had been in a good mood these past two days. She and Lu Jiaxuan had spent 50 cents on a phone call to Lu Zhenping to talk about the division of the family assets, and her eldest brother had already agreed to recommend Jiaxuan for a position as an official in the Cooperative Society.
As long as Jiaxuan became an official, she would be able to live a good life in the future, and could also give a helping hand to her parents’ home.
Once she had money in her hands, she planned to ask her mother-in-law for some and was confident that building a brick and tile house could be achieved.
