Chapter 105
However, Zhao Tiegang was different. Zhao Tiegang was petty, except when he was drinking, of course.
Zhao Tiegang's wife, Zhang Cuilan, ran away. Zhao Tiegang might be fine for three or five days, but if this goes on for too long, even without Wang Guixiang threatening to kill herself at home, Zhao Tiegang will actually start to act like he's going to die.
Zhao Da'e knew his third uncle too well; he couldn't live without a wife.
Without a wife, Zhao Tiegang could drive himself to his death.
In her previous life, Zhao Da'e didn't understand either. Why would a man be unable to live without a woman, feeling he couldn't live without a wife? Even after being reborn, Zhao Da'e still didn't understand.
This thing varies from person to person. It's very strange.
Zhao Tiegang would definitely try to kill himself before Wang Guixiang did. Zhao Dage knew perfectly well that Wang Guixiang was just pretending to be suicidal. If she weren't afraid of being laughed at, she would have taken a rope and given it to Wang Guixiang, just to watch her hang herself.
Anyway, Wang Guixiang won't hang herself; we'll see who gets embarrassed later.
Of course, Zhao Da'e can't do that; it would ruin his reputation.
Cousin Zhou Chunwen went to deliver some things, and with a little time before dinner, Zhao Da'e sat in the house bored. Conditions were poor then, and the family was incredibly poor. In winter, being able to wash their hair and have hot water was a luxury. There was absolutely no place to take a bath.
If only we had a water heater. Even in winter, we could take a hot shower; that would be so comfortable.
Working all day and running around, her clothes were dirty, and she needed a bath. But there were no facilities for bathing. Zhao Da'e took off her clean clothes and changed into a dark red cotton-padded jacket, jeans, and dark red shoes. Then she threw the clean clothes into a large basin of water.
Then they started a fire and ladled water into the pot.
There was no water ladle, just a water dipper. The water dipper was made from a dried gourd split in half.
The pot was filled with water, and Zhao Da'e carried a lot of firewood to start a fire.
Zhou Yuren's family had a lot of firewood, and it was all good firewood, all wood and pine branches. They just needed to add it to the stove.
Soon the water became warm. Zhao Da'e scooped some warm water into the basin, took out the washboard and laundry detergent, sat on a wooden stool, and started washing clothes.
When Zhou Chunhong saw this, she said, "Big...big...goose, second sister will...help you...wash...wash..."
"Alright, Second Sister, I appreciate the thought. Go to the mountains and see if anyone's setting rabbit snares. I remember your uncle's two sons love setting rabbit snares in the winter. Hehehe, let them set the snares, and we can just collect the ones they've already caught. By the way, check if they've set any snares yet. If not, or if they've only set a few, come back and tell me. I'll go to the market tomorrow or the day after and buy some wire, which you can give them. They'll be incredibly grateful, and then they'll be even more enthusiastic about setting rabbit snares."
Hehehe. I don't know how to snare rabbits, I can only pick them up. The more rabbits we snare, the more we can collect.
"They...found out...what...what to do?" Zhou Chunhong asked.
"We're worried they won't be able to eat the rabbits they've caught, so we'll help them eat them. They'll be so grateful. You go take a stroll first, we'll talk about the rest later."
Zhou Chunhong then put on her cotton-padded coat and went out.
Zhao Da'e continued washing clothes, scrubbing each piece one by one.
A little while later, Zhou Chunwen returned and saw Zhao Da'e washing clothes, so she helped her wash clothes as well.
"Big sister, what do you think of our whole bathing area?" Zhao Da'e asked.
"Hey goose, your shed isn't finished yet, don't mess around with it."
"So how do you take a shower in winter?"
"Me?" Zhou Chunwen was stunned: "I don't wash in winter!"
