Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11885

"Look, what did I say yesterday?" Liu pointed to the empty ground in front of the small second room and turned to Da Sun beside her, saying, "Other people's opera performances last for three days or more. Look at Sixi's mother, she only came for half a day, cried and shed tears, and told a bunch of lies to gain the sympathy of the whole village. In the end, she's not coming today!"

Madam Sun also wore a long face, "Hypocritical, crocodile tears, they have no sincerity at all!"

“Luckily we didn’t go easy on her yesterday! Otherwise, we would have really fallen for her tricks!” Liu said again.

Madam Sun nodded repeatedly, completely agreeing with every word Liu said.

The two women, while blaming Sixi's mother, had already taken out the key that the second wife had left with the eldest Sun's family. They opened the courtyard gate, entered the courtyard, and prepared to go to the backyard to carry out the bedding to air it out.

The eldest daughter-in-law was also planning to sweep the yard for the second son's family today, as it hadn't been swept for several days and probably had fallen leaves and such.

The two men entered the courtyard, but after taking only two steps, they both paused simultaneously, their words of condemnation stuck in their throats.

"What's going on? Am I seeing things? Why is the ground in this yard so clean?" Liu asked, wiping her eyes.

She also came to the second room yesterday, but what she saw was not like this.

Da Sun looked around, bewildered. Could it be that God was moved by her kindness and sent a gust of wind to blow away the filth in the yard?

"You've come over?" a voice suddenly came from the backyard.

Then Si Xi Niang emerged from the corner of the wall. Well, she had an apron tied around her waist and a blue and white floral headscarf covering her head. These were the kind of headscarves that rural women wore to cover their heads and protect them from dust when doing rough work!

"You, you, what are you doing here?" Liu was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head, and her voice changed.

"I came in to see if there's anything I can help with..." Sixi's mother rubbed her hands on her apron, a little reserved and embarrassed, as she spoke.

“No wonder, you were the one who swept the front yard!” Liu said again.

Sixi's mother smiled again and nodded.

At this moment, her eldest daughter-in-law also came over from the backyard. She clearly hadn't noticed that Liu and Da Sun were also there. As she walked over, she said to Sixi's mother, "Mother, the bedding from all the rooms has been brought out to air. What should we do next... Ah? Auntie? Fourth Aunt? You're here too..."

The eldest daughter-in-law was shocked to see Madam Sun and Madam Liu standing there, and quickly greeted them.

Liu ignored her and went straight to the backyard. She had just heard that they had already hung the bedding out to dry, so she wanted to see it for herself.

However, Madam Sun did not go to the backyard to check those things. Instead, she fixed her suspicious and furious gaze on Sixi's mother and her eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law, surnamed Sun, circled the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law two or three times, with one arm around their neck and the other supporting their chin. The two women became increasingly reserved, their bodies pressed tightly together.

"Tell me, if you two don't have keys to this place, why were you able to get in?"

"Not only did you get into the yard, but you two also got into the house? Tell me, are you thieves?"

These words startled both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, especially when the eldest daughter-in-law added, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll report you to the authorities, Qing'er..."

Just as Da Sun was about to call Yang Ruoqing from the Luo family's courtyard across the road, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law jumped up in fright, but reacted in completely different ways.

Sixi Niang jumped up and covered Da Sun's mouth with her hand to prevent her from making a sound, for fear of disturbing Yang Ruoqing.

The eldest daughter-in-law, however, knelt down in front of Madam Sun with a thud, shrinking her neck like an ostrich: "Please, Aunt, don't shout, we...we really aren't thieves..."

Inspired by her father and brother-in-law last night, she and her mother-in-law felt that simply kneeling at the door of the small second room, wiping away tears and saying kind words, wasn't enough to show their sincerity. So, her mother-in-law barely slept a wink last night, coming up with a good way to express their sincerity.

That is, before it was fully light today, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly sneaked into the second room to help with the chores.

They cleaned the front and back yards, fed the chickens and ducks, and even carried out the bedding and other items from inside the house to air them out.

For ordinary families, doing these things is considered the greatest expression of sincerity.

If you have time after doing all this, then go and water the vegetable patches in the backyard of the second room; that would show even more sincerity.

Unexpectedly, before they had even finished half of what they were doing, Madam Sun and Madam Liu arrived, and even mistook them for thieves...

Immediately, one of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knelt down and pleaded, while the other quickly explained the situation to Madam Sun...

"We crawled in through that dog hole. The rooms in your house weren't locked at all; the locks were just hanging on top, and they opened with a push..."

"To put it simply, given the current situation, our whole family is hoping that the second wife can forgive us. How could we possibly steal from her? Absolutely not!"

Si Xi Niang's words did indeed dispel Da Sun Shi's doubts.

Especially when she heard that the locks on several doors were not locked properly, but rather loosely hanging, Madam Sun suddenly slapped her thigh and cursed herself inwardly, "How foolish I was!"
This basic mistake was something she made yesterday!

Immediately, a wave of fear washed over Madam Sun, making her back go numb.

"Hey, it's true! The walls are covered with bedding, the yard is full of shoes, and they've even washed bed sheets!"

After strolling around the backyard and checking everything, Liu excitedly ran back to Da Sun's side to tell her what had happened.

"The chickens and ducks in the backyard have all been fed, and the chicken coop has been cleaned. Tsk tsk, the front and back yards have been spotless by this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This has saved you a lot of trouble!"

Liu's rapid-fire words brought Da Sun back to her senses.

"Come on, I'll go take a look too!" Madam Sun walked a few steps quickly, leaving Sixi's mother and daughter-in-law standing there awkwardly.

Suddenly, Madam Sun stopped in her tracks, turned to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said, "Come on, both of you!"

……

The Luo family is having breakfast.

When Madam Sun came to the Luo family, she talked to Yang Ruoqing about what had happened before, saying, "Those two women have finally figured it out and know they should do something practical."

"I think their sincerity is quite good, especially that Si Xi's mother, she's turned over a new leaf, she's like a completely different person..."

Yang Ruoqing looked at Da Sunshi and almost laughed: "Auntie, tell me honestly, have you been bribed by them?"

“What bribery? Do you think I’m that kind of person?” Madam Sun waved her hands repeatedly.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "Since you weren't bribed, then you must have something on them that they have, otherwise you wouldn't be acting like this!"

"Tell me honestly, what exactly have they got in their hands on that you're so willing to speak up for them like this?"
