บท 350: Chapter 350: Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky

Back then, there were no washboards in the village, so they would usually wash their clothes by beating them with a stick on a large rock by the riverside. After moving to the West Courtyard, Bai Ruozhu had asked her father to make a washboard and she had shared the benefits of using one with her family.

Lin Ping'er praised the washboard after using it. She found that its edges were helpful in scrubbing the clothes clean, and it was much less taxing than beating them with a stick. Now that her daughter had mentioned the washboard, Lin Ping'er immediately remembered having to kneel on its harsh edges - quite an uncomfortable experience.

"That's a good idea," Lin Ping'er beamed, her mood improving significantly.

Seeing that Wan Caiyue didn't know what a washboard was, Bai Ruozhu smiled and said to her, "Sister-in-law, wait till we return to the West Courtyard, I'll show you."
