Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

An Yue looked at An Nian at this moment, who looked like a little bully in the village. Her heart was deeply moved, but she couldn't help laughing along with everyone else.

She quickly snatched the sickle from An Nian's hand, smiled and said gently: "Niannian, they are all grandmothers, uncles, and aunts in the village."

"But, they surrounded you and kept talking. I was afraid that they would bully my sister."

An Yue bent down and held An Nian's cold little face in her hands, and said, "Don't be afraid, Niannian. Grandfather and uncle are here. They won't bully your sister."

Afterwards, An Yue held An Nian's hand, stood up straight and said to everyone: "This matter of selling fish cannot be explained in a few words. It is very easy for the elders to catch a cold standing by the pond, and it is also very dangerous."

"How about this, everyone go back first, and sit for a while in my grandfather's yard before it gets dark. Then I'll tell you about it in general. How do you think?"

Everyone thought it made sense and nodded.

"Okay, we'll go back now, and we'll go to your house later when you're done."

After saying that, several people returned the same way. Several women chatted with each other and then walked towards home.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai asked, "Yueyue, our business has been discovered by them, and they are asking about it. What should we do?"

Grandfather stood up, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "This matter will be discovered sooner or later, but in this situation, Yueyue, think about it, how should our family deal with it properly next?"

"Grandfather, uncle, we'll tell them directly when we get home later."

"Just tell them directly that people who collect fish will only trade with us. As for them wanting to catch fish in exchange for silver, they have to wait until we deliver the fish back before discussing it."

My uncle said disapprovingly, "You can't get rid of them by saying that. What if they come to cause trouble again the next day?"

An Yue said: "No matter how much they want to earn money, we can't force them to do it! Taking them to earn money is a help, and not taking them is our duty."

Grandfather smiled at An Yue and agreed, "Yueyue is right, they are just jealous of others. Yueyue, don't worry, with grandpa here, they dare not do anything to you."

Grandfather spoke slowly: "Zhang Dacai's family has several pigs, and they can earn a lot of money throughout the year."

"It is only Chen Dazhi's family that is relatively poor, so it is reasonable for him to help out a little."

An Yue listened and asked in confusion: "The Chen Dazhi that grandpa was talking about is the home of the middle-aged woman in patched clothes just now?"

"Yes, yes, that's Chen Dazhi's daughter-in-law. There are three sons in the family. The eldest son has already started a family, and the two younger sons are still young and not old enough to get married."

"His eldest daughter-in-law is a notorious shrew in the village. She is afraid that the two younger brothers-in-law will drag down his family, so she wants to divide the family."

An Yue thought, isn't this the same kind of person as the eldest aunt in the An family?

"When the family was divided, Chen Dazhi asked me to go to his house and ask me to help judge the situation and say something nice, but his eldest daughter-in-law cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself. She just took away all the good furniture in Chen Dazhi's house."

"So Chen Dazhi and his wife, as they grew older, lived a life of starting from scratch again."

An Yue and An Nian sat by the pond, listening with great interest as if they were telling a story.

As An Nian listened, he said angrily, "Sister, that shrew that grandpa talked about is so scary. When I grow up and get married, I don't want to be like her!"

His uncle teased An Nian: "The yolk of Niannian's egg is still hanging from his butt. You are just a little kid, but you are thinking about getting married!"

An Nian quickly ran to his grandfather and complained, "Grandfather, hit my uncle! He's not behaving well! He's saying bad words!"

The grandfather listened to An Nian's complaints in a baby voice, smiled and couldn't help but reach out and slap his son Jiang Chenghai on the butt.

The uncle smiled and pretended to be angry and said, "When did you learn to complain, little meatball? Humph! Wait until I'm done with this, and then I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

An Nian quickly hid behind his grandfather and stuck out his tongue at his uncle proudly.

The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren were fishing while chatting and laughing, and before they knew it they had caught four buckets of fish.

The wild garlic dug during the two years of Annian and Anyue only weighed about two or three pounds.

After putting away the fishing tools, my uncle and grandfather picked up the buckets, and Anyue and Annian carried the backpack, and they slowly followed behind them back home.

As soon as I got home, my grandmother said, "Ah Hai, your brother Dacai just brought over a dozen eggs."

An Yue thought to herself with a puzzled look on her face, in this era, does it take so much effort to ask someone for help in the village?

"Mom, we can't take these eggs!" Uncle Jiang Chenghai put down the bucket, picked up the eggs and prepared to send them back to Zhang Dacai.

Wei came out of the house and quickly snatched it from Jiang Chenghai's hand, saying, "There's no reason to return something that was delivered to my door."

"You..." Jiang Chenghai felt inexplicably angry when he saw Wei like this.

Grandfather said, "Ah Hai, the eggs must be sent back, but we can't send them right away. How can we save face for others?"

"Dad, when is the right time for us to send him back?"

Grandfather said slowly: "Wait until it's dark and no one is around, then cover it with a cloth and send it back to his home."

Wei stood aside, holding an egg in her hand, and muttered quietly, "I really don't understand what this family of old and young are busy with all day long! They won't even accept anything that is brought to their doorstep!"

At this time, the grandmother looked at Wei with particular displeasure. She walked over and snatched the basket of eggs from Wei's hand.

Grandma said, "Okay! I'll go after dark!"

My uncle and grandfather poured the fish in the bucket into the water tank one by one.

The sun has set and the sky is starting to get a little grey.

"Aunt Jiang, are you home?" It sounded like a familiar voice.

"If you're at home, come in!"

She is Chen Dazhi’s daughter-in-law.

There were several people following her, and it seemed that there were two more people than in the afternoon.

"Are you busy? Oh... I'm so sorry that we came here again and disturbed you."

An Yue thought, when this village woman spoke politely, she was just like an old sow wearing a bra - one set after another.

An Nian saw that there were more and more people in the yard. He prepared to pull his sister into the house and said to her in a low and vigilant voice: "Sister, let's hide. They are here again. There are more people than at the pond in the afternoon."

An Yue touched An Nian's face and said, "Niannian is not afraid, and neither is sister."
