There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 60 Is her mother teaching her to be lazy?

Gao Guilan yelled at her grandchildren and then lectured her son. She couldn't even shock her daughter-in-law, and it was of no use at all.

"I see."

Zheng Chenglong's eyes darkened, he agreed in a muffled voice, got off the kang, took his coat, and walked out the door.

 “Mom, I would rather demolish ten temples than one wedding.”

Zheng Xinyue lowered her voice to persuade her mother.

"Stop it. If the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't apologize to you this time, I won't allow her to come back. She must disturb the family spirit. I don't want the house to be restless all day long."

Gao Guilan did not listen to her daughter's advice. In the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind reverses and overwhelms the east wind. She, Gao Guilan, will never be the one who is oppressed.

Zheng Xinyue was helpless. No matter how much she tried to persuade her, it was useless. Her mother was stubborn.

Li Xiuli glanced at Zheng Xinyue secretly. Her sister-in-law is a nice person, but she doesn’t know what her cousin is making trouble about. Let's just live a good life of eating and drinking, go back to your parents' house and suffer the anger?

 It is a trivial matter to be offended even in the husband's family. The key is that those who have nothing to eat will starve to death.

Nowadays, everyone has to think carefully about their food, especially the food from my uncle’s family. Even my grandparents feel distressed after taking a bite. Can I feed it to a daughter who is getting married?

 After dinner, everyone had to go to the fields to work. Gao Guilan was helpless because of Zheng Xinyue's pestering, but she still wanted to persuade her daughter to stay at home.

"The summer sun is too hot and will tan your little face. Listen to your mother and lie down in the house. Your body is too weak to bear the torment."

“Okay! I’ll prepare a meal for you at noon and wait for you to come back.” Zheng Xinyue spread her hands, looking helpless.

“Forget it, you’d better go to the ground with me!”

Gao Guilan didn't want her daughter to serve her daughter-in-law anymore, so she had to agree to work for her.

There was a row of nails nailed to the wall in her room, which were used to hang clothes. Gao Guilan took a green scarf from the nail and put it on Zheng Xinyue's head without saying a word, muttering instructions in her mouth. "Wear a scarf and don't roll up your sleeves. Your tender skin will be burned."

Zheng Xinyue’s face is covered with black lines. She doesn’t want to wear that green scarf at all. It’s too bright and too tacky, right? But if she didn't wear it, her mother wouldn't let her go to the ground, so she had to hold on. Anyway, all the women who went to the ground were dressed like this, and no one would laugh at anyone.

Gao Guilan over there didn't know that her daughter disliked being ugly, so she helped her pull off her headscarf, making it look like the brim of a hat. Then she was satisfied and allowed her to go out.

　　While walking into the fields, Gao Guilan took her daughter and whispered instructions. "When you go to the fields, don't work hard. Just rest with the **** when you have nothing to do. When you see someone coming, **** the ground again."

“Yeah.” Zheng Xinyue agreed in a funny voice. Is her mother teaching her to be lazy?

They arrived at just the right time, and the accountant in the brigade took a roll call with a roll call book.

Zheng Xinyue is new here. Gao Guilan ran to register her. When she saw the captain Zheng Maoshan watching seriously, she went over and called her uncle.

"Um,"

Zheng Maoshan had to maintain his majestic side in front of the whole team, and greeted Gao Guilan with just a snort from his nose.

“Uncle, Xinyue has come to work. She is weak. Can you arrange a light job for her?”

Gao Guilan didn't care about Zheng Maoshan's pretentiousness, so she smiled and asked for light work for her daughter.

 “Xinyue has come to work? Have you had a rest?”

Hearing that Xinyue came to work, Zheng Maoshan was a little surprised. He went out to work just two days after returning home after such a big incident?

 “The child feels bored and doesn’t want to stay at home.”

Gao Guilan had a sad look on her face. What she was thinking about was that her daughter had been forcing herself to smile for the past two days, working to distract herself from the pain in her heart.

 “Okay! Let her go hoeing in the beet fields.”
