Are these tenses suitable ?
Hi
As soon as Merry (to arrive) had arrived in the village, she (to see) saw that the houses (to be) are white-washed. She realized that her new life (to be) will be very different from the one she (to live) lived so far. In the village, men (to work) work in the fields whereas women (to stay) stay at home. They (not to be) are not rich materially, but they ( to be) are very happy because they ( to love) love each other.
Are the tenses correct ?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your help.
But
I think in the first sentence we should use perfect form becuse the first action happend and then the sencond action happend so i think it is correct.( As soon as Merry had arrived in the village, she saw that the houses are white-washed.) (In the village, men worked in the fields whereas womenstayed at home.) here "men work in the fields" is a general fact

If you think you know better, then don't ask us. The 2 events in the first sentence occur simultaneously. They are general events, yes, but the whole narrative is set in the past.
