Chapter 580: I'm afraid your mother-in-law and brother-
ity to clean them up without sullying the family's reputation.Fang Jinshi only glanced at the two of them briefly before leaving with Zhao Village Head.Zongyu kept closely behind his daughter-in-law,...Early the next morning, before dawn had broken, Xiaoyue yawned and wrapped herself tightly in her clothes as she came out of the house.
Jin Yu and Qiu Ju quickly got up to follow, and the morning air in the mountains was truly cold. The three shivered at the same time from the chill.
"It's not even snowing yet, how come it's so cold"
Before, people lived either in ordinary villages or towns. It was their first time spending winter in the mountains.
Fang Jinshiu had already prepared thick cotton clothes for all her family members. Even the three maidservants each had two sets of cotton clothes in this precious time of cotton shortage.
Xiaoyue cupped a handful of cold water and washed her face, making herself completely sober.
The temperature in the mountains is indeed lower than outside, you'll just have to get used to it.
"Jin Yu, today it's your turn to wash the clothes. The master said that if the weather is too cold, you should first boil a pot of hot water to use."
Jin Yu sighed, "It's better not to waste firewood. It hasn't even gotten to the coldest time yet. I'll just wash by the pond."
Xiao Yue wasn't quite convinced. "Will it work"
"Fine, no problem."
After finishing their assigned tasks for the day, the three individuals dispersed to begin working on their respective duties.
"Huh Where are the dirty clothes from around the house" Jin Yu went to look at the laundry basket outside several master's rooms, but it was surprisingly empty.
At this time, Qiuju also ran out of the kitchen carrying firewood.
"Look quickly!"
Jin Yu and Xiao Yue immediately ran into the kitchen. The three girls took a look, and on the table in the kitchen were already prepared breakfast dishes.
The stove was still hot, and when I lifted the lid, there was a big pot of freshly cooked mixed grain porridge.
"This, who did this" Jin Yu was dumbfounded.
Xiaoyue furrowed her brows. "It's not just breakfast. Just now, I wanted to feed the livestock at home, but I found that the livestock pen was clean and tidy, and they had already been fed."
Jin Yu also mumbled, "All the family's dirty clothes are gone too. Last night I clearly saw the master and mistress change out of them."
As soon as they finished speaking, a voice came from behind them. It was Fang Jinshu, who spoke with a rasping breath, "
"With the weather so cold, why did you three get up so early this morning"
"Is breakfast ready"
She knew the three girls at home were lively, but she didn't expect them to be this diligent.
It's so cold this morning, it was so comfy in bed that she almost didn't want to get up.
"Starting tomorrow, you can all sleep for half an hour longer and don't have to get up so early to work."
Xiao Yue hurriedly waved her hand, "Jinxiu sister, today's housework isn't our responsibility."
"We just woke up too, and as soon as we came in, we found breakfast was already made and the hot water was boiled."
"The yard and the livestock at home had not only been cleaned but also fed."
Fāng Jǐnxiù was stunned. "These things weren't done by you"
No, what on earth is going on Has the Snail Girl come to our house
"By the way, all the dirty clothes in the house have disappeared."
Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow, smoothed her clothes and walked towards the pond outside the door.
Xiaoyue only then remembered, "Right, I wonder who's working by the pond. Let me go take a look."
Three girls hurried to follow Shang Pinxiu.
At the edge of a pond not far away, several women from the village had already gathered to wash their clothes. Fang Jinxiu came over and saw a familiar figure.
"Little grass"
Hearing her sister's voice, Xiaochao immediately put the last piece of washed clothes into the wooden basin. Her slender arms seemed to be unusually strong, and she lifted the large basin full of wet laundry in one go.
"Second Sister! You're up."
The little grass saw Fang Jinxiu, and beside her stood Xiaoyue. The three of them were together, and the little grass suddenly felt embarrassed and lowered her head.
Fang Jinshu was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to take the large wooden basin from Xiaocǎo's hands.
"Your wrist isn't much thicker than a branch on that tree, you say you can just pick up such a big basket of clothes What about the injuries on your arms"
Xiao Yue was very perceptive. While her master was speaking, she took the opportunity to carry back a large basket of laundry with Jin Yu and Qiu Ju to dry it.
Xiao Cao covered her arm and smiled shyly, "Second Sister, my injury is fine, it's almost healed."
Fang Jinxiu pulled up her hand, which was red from the cold water. Even though Xiaoyue and the others washed clothes in the cold weather, she wouldn't let them get their hands frozen like this. She always emphasized that they should wash clothes with hot water.
It's okay to waste some firewood, but if your hands get frostbite, it's not fatal, but it's very painful.
She put Xiao Cao's hand in her bosom.
"Silly sister, you've only been here a few days, who told you to get up and work so early"
Little Grass knew that her elder sister felt sorry for her, and she smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm used to doing these chores at home. I've been living here with my brother-in-law for so many days without paying anything. If I don't do some work, I'm afraid your mother-in-law and brother-in-law will blame you."
Fang Jinshi sighed with heartache.yard with a yawn. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and was puzzled.Who is knocking on the door so earlyThose who delivered the visiting cards to Madam were certainly too diligent, arriving so e...
