Chapter 52 Girl Fight

Daya carried the clothes to the riverside to wash, a large basin full of clothes she carried to the river, where some older women and girls about her age were washing clothes.

Daya used a washboard and the soap pods they collected from the mountains once a year; every family would make some to wash their own clothes.

This was something they, as farmers, made themselves, while those slightly wealthier would go to the stores to buy better soaps with a pleasant scent.

Just like the tea they used for washing hair, which they also gathered from the mountains and processed, it could clean the hair thoroughly and make it black and glossy; some even made tea oil from these leaves for cooking.

"Daya, your mom has gone to the county to enjoy herself, why didn't you follow her? Look at you, so young, doing so much work; why hasn't your mom come back this month?" an inquisitive aunt in her thirties asked, her voice engaging the curiosity of others, who were just as intrigued by this family.
