Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Fortunately, at this time, my grandmother came out from the kitchen, stood under the eaves and said, "Yueyue is back? Where are your uncle and Niannian?"

An Yue knew that her grandmother was helping her out, so she went straight to the fire room and replied, "Niannian fell asleep. Uncle carried him all the way back. Uncle put him on the bed to sleep for a while."

"Yueyue, go to the town to inquire about the school. How is the progress?"

An Yue put down what she was holding, sat under the stove, handed over firewood and said, "The school is at the west entrance of the town. The teacher agreed to go to the school every year."

Grandma was standing behind the stove, washing vegetables, and she said excitedly, "Excellent, excellent!"

He couldn't help but sigh, "But there will be many places to spend money in the future! If I can pass the imperial examination every year, I will be considered to have made a name for myself."

"I don't dare to think that far ahead now. As long as I listen carefully to the teachings in school every year, I can recognize a few characters in the future and find a decent job, that would be great!"

Grandmother said, "Back then, your mother had not yet married into the An family. We went to Baili Village to ask around and heard from the villagers that your An family's ancestors were very prosperous in the early years."

"Later I heard your mother mention that your father had a very good handwriting! It's a pity that for some reason he didn't continue to learn."

An Yue recalled: "Yes! I heard from my father that when he was still young, our family conditions were very good, and my grandfather also allowed him to go to school for a few years."

"Later, my great grandfather died of illness, and our family fell into poverty. In addition, the government's annual taxes continued to increase, and the family was too busy with farm work, so they decided to choose one person from my father and uncle to do farm work."

"At that time, my uncle was smart and sweet-talking, and he was liked by my grandparents. So they thought that my uncle had more talent for studying, so they decided to let him continue to go to school and leave my father at home to do farm work."

At this point, my grandmother couldn't help but complain: "Humph! That An Tiancai is a waste! He has been taking the exam for many years, and to this day, he is still just a student!"

"We will definitely be better than him in the future! If he can succeed in the future, we will support him to the end!"

An Yue said sadly: "Yes! I will definitely support him with all my strength, but there will be more places to spend money in the future, and I am afraid there will be times when I can't do anything!"

"Oh! By the way, Grandmother, the fish we sent today was exchanged for sixteen taels and one hundred and fifty coins."

"Yueyue bought two large buckets and a large scale on the street, and bought some writing brushes and ink for Niannian. She spent three taels of silver in total, and now she has a little over thirteen taels left."

As she said that, An Yue took out the silver and money in her arms and handed it to her grandmother.

"Yueyue, grandma knows that you are a capable child, so we should spend the money as needed."

"But I will keep the money you gave me for the time being. Just let me know when you need it and I will give it to you at any time."

An Yue said: "We all spend the money we earn together. We are a family and there is no distinction between you and me."

"Yueyue and grandma treat each other as equals, but...but your aunt doesn't think so."

Yes! Wei is so petty that he definitely won't let it be taken out.

"This is what grandma thinks. Your grandpa and I are getting old, and your aunt Wei is a very mean woman."

"It's not safe to keep this money with grandma for a long time. When you and Nian Nian return to the An family and settle everything, grandma will give all the money to you."

When An Yue heard this, she frowned and looked a little sad. She didn't dare to accept the fact that her grandparents were getting old.

"Yueyue feels that grandma is not old at all! You can just put the money aside for now!"

Grandma looked at An Yue, who was blinking a little, and immediately coaxed her, "Okay, okay, everything will be up to Yue Yue, okay?"

Lunch was ready. An Yue washed her hands and stood up to set the table.

The clinking sound of the rice bowls being placed woke An Nian from his sleep.

My grandfather walked into the yard from outside carrying a basket full of grass for the cow. He gently put down the basket and poured all the grass in front of the cow. Then he washed his hands and went into the main house to prepare for dinner.

The family sat down to eat lunch.

After dinner, the whole family took a nap.

Because An Nian went to bed early, he couldn't take a nap, so he sat at the dining table and read a newly bought book.

I guess it’s because we got up earlier than usual in the morning. The whole family is reluctant to get up at the usual time.

Everyone got up slowly, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren washed their faces, and discussed going to the wasteland to dig wild garlic.

My uncle had not woken up yet and had been sleeping at home. Wei was sitting in the room making small clothes for her children.

After smoking his pipe, my grandfather was busy building a pig shed in the yard.

Time always passes quietly. The family knows what to do every day and has a purpose in life.

It is no longer like before, living a tight life and worrying about three meals a day.

The next morning, grandma and An Yue made breakfast together.

Each person had an egg, and a large bowl of rice porridge was cooked, served with cold wild garlic and shredded radish.

The family sat at the table and ate.

At this time, Wei took a sip of rice porridge and muttered quietly, "How much silver did you exchange in the town? You don't plan to show it to everyone when you get home?"

Uncle Jiang Chenghai said: "You have endless worries all day long."

Before, my uncle was very nice to Wei, but after getting to know her, he found out that she was lazy, petty, and she beat An Nian so badly that it was not an exaggeration to call her vicious.

It's her own fault that he treats her like this now.

Wei continued to ask, "The writing brushes, ink, paper and books Yueyue bought yesterday were not cheap, were they? Are we really going to let An Nian go to school?"

Grandmother frowned and said, "Eating can't stop you from talking. Yueyue has the ability to earn money, so she can buy whatever she wants and do whatever she wants. Why do you care about these things?"

"When she first came, we took care of her food and lodging. Now that she can earn some money, shouldn't we use it to help the family?"

An Yue buried her head in her food, and An Nian didn't dare to look at Wei. It was obvious that the brother and sister had done nothing wrong, but the whole family started quarreling over them.

Wei continued, "Besides, she can earn money because we help her! How can she earn money by herself?"

My uncle instantly flew into a rage and slammed his chopsticks on the table, pointing at Wei and shouting, "Wei Wan'er! I've tolerated you for so long!"

"It's so early in the morning! If you don't want to eat, just stay in your room! Don't make trouble here. I think you don't know how to appreciate your good fortune! You don't know how to enjoy our good life, right?"

"Yes! Yueyue can make money with our help, but it is also Yueyue's own ability. She has her own way to make money. Even if my father and I don't help her, she can find a way to get others to help her make money!"
