Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"That's right! After the New Year, Niannian will be a seven-year-old man. If grandma dares to hit my sister again, Niannian will bite her with all his strength. Anyway, Niannian will definitely protect my sister!!"

"Niannian is awesome!" An Yue was really touched after hearing what her brother said, and her mood instantly became much better.

After the brother and sister arrived at the wasteland, they squatted down and dug wild garlic. Before they knew it, it was already dark.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was a little worried about the two children, so he came out with a bucket of water to check on them, fearing that the two children would become depressed.

When An Yue saw her uncle, she asked, "Uncle, why are you here? Isn't there still plenty of water in the kitchen water tank?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to come and see you guys."

There was no longer the usual cheer in my uncle's tone.

Jiang Chenghai put the bucket aside, came to the siblings, and said with a serious expression: "Yueyue, Niannian, I'm sorry, everything that happened today is all your fault."

As Jiang Chenghai spoke, he hugged the brother and sister in his arms.

"Don't worry, Nian Nian, Yue Yue, your uncle will definitely find a way to keep you here."

Anyun nodded to her uncle.

The brother and sister had already put the matter behind them, but after hearing what their uncle said, they were once again upset.

The sky darkened a little more. Jiang Chenghai picked up a bucket and went to the pond to fetch two buckets of water. He then carried the buckets back home with the siblings.

When the three of them came back, An Yue and An Nian put down their backpacks, washed their hands, and went straight to the kitchen.

No one had eaten lunch. My grandmother had already started preparing dinner early, and my grandfather was sitting under the eaves smoking a pipe.

But Wei stayed in her room and didn't come out.

When the grandmother Zheng saw the siblings just coming back, she asked softly, "Yueyue Niannian, where did you go?"

"Niannian and I went to the wasteland to dig wild garlic, hoping to dig more."

By this time, my grandmother had already prepared the meal, and was setting out the dishes and preparing to eat as usual.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were carrying food to the main house, and they happened to see Wei coming out of the house. No one said a word.

Everyone took their seats, all with sad faces, and just focused on eating. The atmosphere became particularly depressing during the meal.

An Yue couldn't help but say, "Although today's incident was unpleasant, we still need to deliver the fish on time the day after tomorrow, so we still have to be alert tomorrow."

Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed across Grandfather Jiang Wuwen's eyes, so he cleared his throat and said, "Yes, yes, Yueyue is right."

Everyone suddenly realized that making money is the top priority.

Wei ate her meal heartlessly and couldn't help asking, "What's the fish?"

Everyone ignored her and continued eating.

Wei looked at the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren, pouted proudly, and went back to eating.

Grandmother still felt like she had to get something off her chest, so she frowned and said, "Wan'er, from now on, just stay home and don't ask me about other things."

"Mother, is there anything else about our family that I shouldn't know?"

Jiang Chenghai shouted coldly, "Wei Wan'er, don't push your luck!"

"I……"

Jiang Chenghai didn't wait for Wei to say anything, and said viciously: "What do you mean by you! If it weren't for the fact that you are pregnant, I would divorce you today!"

Jiang Wuwen frowned and called his son in a somewhat upset tone, "Ah Hai, stop talking! Just do whatever you need to do after dinner!"

When Jiang Chenghai heard his father say this, he didn't say anything else.

After the meal, it was already dark. The family simply washed up and went to bed early.

The next day, we were about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and the cold winter morning was freezing our hands and feet.

An Yue got up early to make breakfast, and An Nian helped pass the firewood.

After breakfast, my grandfather and uncle took their tools and went fishing. Anyan and Anyue each carried a basket and prepared to dig wild garlic. My grandmother stayed at home to wash clothes and cook.

An hour later, two buckets of fish were caught and my uncle carried the buckets home.

Then he went to borrow a water buffalo from Uncle Zhang again. This time he simply made an agreement with Uncle Zhang and gave him ten cents every time he used the ox cart.

Uncle Zhang was very happy when he heard this.

In this cold winter, the cows can earn money for him, and there are people to help feed the cows, so he doesn't have to go out to cut grass. It really saves him time and effort and he can still make money.

The uncle led the buffalo back home and tied it up, then carried the bucket back to the pond, and the father and son continued fishing.

An Yue went to help occasionally and caught about seven or eight big fish, and the rest were small fish.

It was almost noon, and An Yue hurriedly cut a basket of grass for the cows, and the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren went home together.

As soon as I got home, washed my hands and prepared to go in to eat, Wei suddenly called An Yue.

"Yueyue, my aunt wants to eat date cakes. Can you buy some for her?"

"Aunt, Yueyue will go buy it for you when we wake up in the afternoon."

"But my aunt wants to eat now, what should I do?"

My grandmother happened to pass by with dishes and heard it. She said to Wei: "No one in the family is free today. If you want to eat, go buy it yourself!"

Jiang Chenghai walked out of the main room and said to Wei rudely, "Are you still going to eat?"

Wei said pretentiously: "Husband, I am greedy, this is what our son wants to eat!"

Grandma continued to walk towards the main house with the dishes, muttering quietly, "Every woman in this village has given birth to a few children, and none is as pretentious as her."

It is a blessing to have enough food to eat and not go hungry these days.

Jiang Wuwen said to his son, "Ah Hai, Yueyue and I will go fishing this afternoon, you can take her to buy it."

"Dad, we can't indulge her bad habits. We didn't catch many big fish this morning. The weather is getting colder, and it's getting harder to catch fish. If we don't catch enough, it will be hard to explain when we hand in the fish tomorrow."

Wei was crying and mumbling, "As the old saying goes, a man should be given clothes and food to wear. It's almost the New Year, and the new bride hasn't even had a new piece of clothing in her first year. Now I'm pregnant, and I can't even eat the jujube cakes I crave."

Grandmother Zheng was so fed up that she couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I say, Wei Wan'er, why didn't I see you as such a lazy and hypocritical woman before? What's going on? Are you pregnant with a dragon seed?"

An Yue swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "After I wake up in the afternoon, I will go to the town to buy some date cakes for my aunt. But today is not the big market day, so it might be a waste of time if I go."

Wei said disdainfully: "That's none of my business! You have to eat it anyway!"

Grandfather glanced at everyone sternly and scolded, "You guys keep talking nonsense. Can you still eat quietly?"

No one dared to speak anymore. They all lowered their heads and ate in silence.

It is said that after Wei went back to his hometown, he seemed like a different person. Before, he just acted nice in front of others and only dared to scold his two children behind their backs to vent his anger.
