After a simple rebirth

Fu Ying lay in bed thinking and feeling increasingly depressed, and inevitably thought of many things from the past.

If you indulge in this emotion, you will become more and more negative, not wanting to do anything, and it seems that everything you see has a tragic ending.

Fu Ying knew that this emotional state was not right, so she simply tried to sleep. Maybe she would feel better when she woke up. Only when she was out of that emotion would she become the rational and determined Fu Ying again.

So the sky won’t fall if anyone is gone, and Fu’s mother can still cook.

Fu's mother asked Fu Zhe to come over and call her to eat. Fu Ying sat up. She was still a little depressed and didn't want to talk, but she was in a much better mood.

While we were eating, Aunt Fu came over and said, "Xiaoying, I heard your mother say that you complained to her that washing clothes by hand was too tiring. Do you want to use the washing machine?"

Hearing this, Fu Ying's aura immediately changed from depressed to aggressive.

"Yes, I must study hard to get good grades in high school. High school is so busy and there are a lot of homework. I don't have that much time to wash clothes, so I must have a washing machine!"

"There are only three people in your family, and you don't have that many clothes. Can't you just wash them right after you take them off?"

Fu Ying was sure that she came here to stand up for the three hundred people. Now that the three hundred people were gone, she wanted to curse a few times to feel better?

"Yes, there are three people in my family now, but I come back so late from evening self-study, so I can only wash clothes together on weekends. In summer, we change clothes every day, so three people have to wash 35 to 15 sets of clothes a week, plus pants, so a set of clothes means at least 30 sets.

In winter, there are even more clothes. We change them every two days. Each person has three sets of clothes and two pairs of pants, and they are all thick. That means we have to wash 40 to 50 pieces. It is impossible to wash them all by hand."

"So according to what you said, we used to wash clothes by hand when there were no washing machines! We didn't even have water back then, so we had to go to the river to wash!" Aunt Fu didn't care about so many clothes because she wasn't the one washing them.

"Yes, when there is no washing machine, you can only wash by hand, but my family has a washing machine, and my dad has spent money to buy one." Seeing that Second Aunt Fu was angry, Fu Ying pretended not to see it and continued,

"Actually, it's a good idea to put the washing machine at your house, Second Aunt. I can lend it to you for washing on weekdays, and I can just wash it at my house on Saturdays.

I have so many clothes, and sometimes I have to wash quilts, so I use the washing machine on Saturday morning, and hang them out to dry on Sunday, so I don’t have to wear school uniforms. If I wash them on Sunday and it happens to rain, I won’t be able to wear them on Monday. I have to wear school uniforms to raise the flag on Monday, and the teacher will scold me if I don’t.”

Speaking of being scolded by the teacher, Aunt Fu felt that her good grandson should not be spanked for not wearing school uniform. "Then my Wang Cong and his friends have to wear school uniforms too. If they don't wear school uniforms to school, their teacher is very fierce and will spank them if they don't obey. My kids will wash their clothes on Saturday, so you can wash them after I finish."

"Second Aunt, you have to be practical! The washing machine is at your house, so you can wash clothes whenever you want. We can't go to your house to wash clothes every day, so let's wash them on Saturday.

In fact, we don’t mind the washing machine after having used it for so many years. We still moved the old one back to our house. As long as we can wash clothes, it’s fine if it breaks a little.”

Aunt Fu didn't agree to move in, "Isn't your mother at home? Just let her do the laundry. She has nothing to do at home."

"Second aunt, don't you think about it? We don't have the nerve to let my mother wash our clothes. If I tell others, I'm afraid that others will say I'm unfilial. Besides, my mother often has to help your family pick vegetables and go to other people's homes to help. She is also very tired. How can she have time to help us wash clothes every day?

Let my mom return the three hundred to you, and you can buy a new one for your family. A new one with a washer and dryer will only cost more than two thousand. You won’t have to work so hard to change the water, and my family can wash whenever they want.”

“It’s too expensive to buy new ones, so I’d better leave the old ones at my house. When the weather is good, it will be convenient for me to wash the quilts and clothes.

The money has already been given to your mother, if your family wants to use it, just come and use it."

Seeing that Fu Ergu was determined to get the washing machine and didn't ask for the 300 yuan back, Fu Ying stopped talking.

"Okay, thank you, Second Aunt. I'll ask my mom to see if there's any second-hand ones. If they're too expensive, I'll take the clothes to your house next Saturday morning to wash them."

Second Aunt Fu didn't say whether she agreed to give her household expenses on Saturday. She pointed at Fu Ying and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You are so talkative. You are completely different from when you were a child. You can't say a word. If someone says one thing to you, you will say ten things back."

Fu Ying smiled, "If I'm not too aggressive and act smart, then I'll just point my finger at Fu Zhe. He was sold out and helped count the money, and even thanked others for taking advantage of him."

Seeing that she couldn't get what she wanted, Fu Ergu said she would go home and cook food for her pigs.

Fu Ying also decided that if she couldn't buy a washing machine before next Saturday, she would go to her second aunt Fu's house to wash clothes. She would wash all the clothes that could be washed and let the washing machine run a few more times to see if her family would mind spending the electricity bill.

After Second Aunt Fu left, Mother Fu advised her, "Fu Ying, that's your Second Aunt. You should be respectful and polite when talking to her. Don't talk back to her."

Fu Ying snorted coldly, "How did I not respect her? Did I quarrel with her or scold her? How did I contradict her?"

"Look at me, I'm talking to you nicely and you have this tone and such a bad temper!"

"Mom, do you understand? I am speaking for my family. Don't be as fierce as me. You can't even get back the 300 yuan for your washing machine. What did I do wrong? Can't I just pretend nothing happened like you did?"

"I'm asking you not to be so fussy. Just give the washing machine to her family. Don't let your second aunt go around saying that our family is stingy."

"Okay, since you said that, then why don't you return the three hundred to her family and apologize to her. Then spend some money to buy a new washing machine, preferably the one I mentioned that has a washer and dryer, which is more convenient. You think it's a small amount of money anyway, and you have all the money in the house."

Fu's mother wanted to say something to Fu Ying, "Look at you, you still say you didn't talk back, ..."

Fu Ying simply put the bowl down, as she had almost finished eating anyway.

"I'm going to study. Fu Zhe, you wash the dishes. Don't disturb me unless it's important for the country."

Fu Ying went straight back to her room and locked the door. Although Fu Zhe often went through this door to his room, there were more than one door to his room. He found the key and went in through the front door. Now she didn't want to talk to anyone who came.

Fu Ying no longer wanted to argue with Fu Ma. Instead of exploding in front of Fu Ma, it was better to just pretend that nothing happened. That was it. Fu Ying could calm down and pretend that nothing happened. Fu Ying's attitude and temper were there and could not be changed.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand your own daughter, but you can understand outsiders. It's not the first time that she pretends to be generous, making her family suffer for the benefit of others. Otherwise, how could she have friends everywhere and her reputation spread to every place she went!
