The Rise of a Farm Girl

The next day, Old Mrs. Wang got up before dawn as usual.

Holding a stick, he knocked on Wang Jingru's door. What a lazy family. The sun was shining on their butts, but they still didn't get up.

Wang Jingru said nothing, locked the door tightly, and refused to go out. Old Lady Wang saw that she couldn't get Wang Jingru out, and couldn't kill her, so she went to knock on the doors of the first and second rooms.

After knocking on the door, the wives of the first and second wives came out. When they saw Old Lady Wang, they were unhappy but dared not show it on their faces. They had to smile and say, "Mom, we are up and will cook right away."

Old Lady Wang immediately assigned tasks to her eldest and second daughters-in-law, and then she sat under the eaves, watching the two daughters-in-law working.

Another half an hour later, the food was ready, and all the men and children in the family came out and sat at the table waiting for the meal. Old Lady Wang took a spoon and began to serve the food to the men, women, and children in the family.

When it was Wang Jingru's turn, she was only given half a bowl of porridge with only a few grains of rice in it, and only half a big pancake was given to him.

This made Wang Jingru very angry. I am six years old, not six months old. This is not enough to fill the gap between my teeth. Wang Jingru quickly ran to the basket of cakes and took out two cakes.

Old Lady Wang wanted to grab it back, but she was too late. Wang Jingru took two cakes and ran back to her room.

Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was about to curse, but Old Man Wang scolded her and said, "Okay, it's early in the morning, hurry up and eat."

Then, at the dinner table, there was only the sound of eating. The eating speed was very fast. Whoever ate faster could eat more food. So every time when Lao Wang's family had a meal, it was really silent. If you ate slowly, you would just eat air.

After dinner, the eldest daughter-in-law washed the dishes again. This time, she didn't pamper Wang Jingyi and asked him to cut all the bowls. Let the second daughter-in-law feed the chickens and clean the chicken coop?

Wang Jingyi reluctantly went to wash the dishes for me. Li Mei looked at her daughter and scolded her for her reluctance.

Your sister has been working since she was three years old. You are six years old and still pouting. Li Mei immediately started scolding you. Who are you showing off to?

Wang Jingyi hurriedly said in a flattering manner, "Mom, I didn't. I was just afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold the bowl and would break it again."

I tell you, you little bitch, if you dare to break the bowl, you might as well just eat with your hands. We don't have any extra bowls for you to eat from.

Wang Jingyi washed the dishes more carefully after hearing this. He hadn't done this job many times, and usually Wang Jingru did it.

The more careful Wang Jingyi was, the more mistakes she made. Old Mrs. Wang, who was sitting in the house, let out a roar and started scolding again.

As he cursed, a bowl slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. With a snap, the bowl broke into pieces and shattered on the ground.

Wang Jingyi was not only scolded by Old Lady Wang, but also beaten and scolded by Li Mei. You damned little girl. I told you to wash carefully, don't break it.

You are so good, the more I tell you to be careful, the more you throw things on the ground. From today on, you don't have to eat, if you want to eat, just wrap it in leaves and eat it. Really, you only know how to cause trouble to others every day.

Wang Jingyi's arm was bruised by Li Mei's pinching, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just felt wronged and kept crying. Now crying was the only thing that could help.

The Wang family was in chaos every day. Seven days passed in a flash. Old man Wang and his eldest grandson pulled a cart to the county town.

Wang Laosi has already found out in the past few days that someone in the county said that something happened in Mr. Liu's mansion. All the property in Mr. Liu's mansion disappeared overnight.

Mr. Liu is seriously ill and can't get up from his bed, and his family is now penniless.

Wang Laosi was relieved. Liu Yang was so ill that he definitely didn't have time to cause trouble for him, and even if he did, he would deny it.

I heard that all the things in his house were lost overnight, nothing was left, and the indenture was naturally lost. No wonder that damned girl was able to run back, it turned out that he ran away during the chaos in Liu's house.

Wang Lao Si felt relieved and went back to the academy to continue his studies. Meanwhile, Wang Lao Tou came to the county hospital and used a flatbed truck to tow Wang Lao San back to the village.

Wang Laosan was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. He must have suffered a lot while repairing the river. His wife wasn't much better. He looked a little dazed when he walked. She looked like a paper figurine.

Wang Jingru had already cleaned up the room, and everyone was busy carrying Wang Laosan to the bed.

As soon as everyone left, Old Lady Wang started to make indirect complaints. She used to be able to be nice to Old Third Wang, but now he has become a cripple and can't do anything, so how can he still be nice to him? Wang Jingru looked at the two men who were as thin as bamboo poles.

I couldn't help but shake my head. When this brain-dead father is kicked out by his grandmother, I wonder if he will still be as foolishly filial as before.

If things are still the same as before, he will never care about his father. If his mother is not like his father, then he will care about his mother and never care about his father again.

If that doesn't work, let them live their own lives, but he has to take both brothers away. Wang Jingru didn't want to stay at home anymore after seeing that her father had been settled.

So he went to the mountain with a backpack on his back. There was not much work to do in the fields at the moment, so the two brothers could only go to the mountain to collect firewood, dig wild vegetables and cut grass for pigs.

Wang Jingru came to the mountain and sat down with her two brothers to rest. They had been playing in the mountain for most of the day. They would pick up two bundles of firewood and carry them back in the afternoon, and then collect some grass for the pigs and dig some wild vegetables.

When they were hungry, Wang Jingru gave them food. The food they ate recently was as good as the two brothers'. The head of the boy was growing longer. The clothes and pants were too short.

They couldn't even wear shoes anymore, so they could only wear woven straw sandals. Wang Jingru took out a few stuffed pancakes from the space, two for each person, and the three of them ate until their mouths were full of oil.

The three people's faces gradually became ruddy and plump. Now that they were full, they no longer wanted to look for wild fruits in the mountains. In the past, they were so hungry that they could not even find wild fruits. Even the sour and astringent fruits tasted sweet to them.

When they returned home at night, they heard Old Lady Wang scolding her mother, "You little wife who brings bad luck to your husband, what's wrong with you? You just want to be lazy when you come back. Finish washing these clothes for me, and you can also cook the meal."

Otherwise, don't even think about eating. Wang Jingru looked at her mother, the bun-making mother. Why was he so honest? He just looked at the gloating look of the eldest and second aunts, and Wang Jingru was furious.

She walked over angrily and threw the basin of clothes in her mother's hand to the ground. "Mom, these are not our clothes, why should you wash them? Even if I asked you to wash them, do you have to wash them?"

Didn't you see the eldest aunt and the second aunt sitting there doing nothing? Why do you wash clothes and cook? Can't you just say no? You've been bullied like this, but you're still working so hard without complaint.

When will you be able to stand up and stop being bullied by them? Because of your cowardly personality, we brothers and sisters have been bullied so badly. Just look at how torn our clothes are.

And look at the clothes, they are too short. My brother has no shoes to wear. You guys went to repair the river, while my uncle and his aunt, my second uncle and his aunt, were enjoying themselves at home, while my brothers and sisters were being poked and pounced by them and had to go hungry.

I was sold to the county by my fourth uncle. If I hadn't been smart enough to run back, I would have died long ago if you had come back now.

When Yu Wenjiao heard what her daughter said, she felt so heartbroken that she hugged her daughter and cried loudly. Then she threw the basin on the ground and took her daughter back to the house.

When Old Lady Wang saw that her third daughter-in-law dared to give up her responsibility, she started to curse. But Yu Wenjiao turned around and glared at Old Lady Wang with such a fierce look that Old Lady Wang felt so scared that she stopped cursing.

The Chinese teacher was not originally a cowardly person. It was only because she married Wang Laosan, who was her savior, that she was always humble. But this did not mean that she was originally cowardly or a coward.

Wang Jingru went back to the house with her mother. When Mrs. Wang saw the third daughter-in-law enter the house, she took out her anger on the eldest and second daughters-in-law, "What are you two still watching?" The eldest daughter-in-law hurried to cook, and the second daughter-in-law washed the clothes.

After finishing speaking, I returned to my room and complained to Old Man Wang that I worked so hard for this family, but no one appreciated it.

Old man Wang said, you should restrain yourself a little. Even I can't stand it anymore. The third brother's leg is broken and he needs his wife to take care of him. Don't make her angry. You will do nothing in Liao Tiaozi. Then you go to take care of the third brother and his three children.

They are still so young. If the third son's wife doesn't make it and leaves, I wonder what you will do. Besides, the third son and his wife have gone to repair the river, and they are skinny. You should not be stingy for a while.

At least the two of them have to be well fed. Besides, the third child is still growing bones. If he doesn't grow well, he will really become a cripple and be unable to do anything.

You don't know this family. It all depends on the third brother and his wife to work in the fields. If there were no third brother and his wife, who would be able to work in this family?

Your eldest son or second son, and your eldest grandson and second grandson, which one of them looks like a hard-working person? All of them are sneaky and cunning.

The teacher's tuition is expensive, and our family is already struggling to make ends meet.

Old Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "I know that it is the third son and his wife who do all the work in this family. But I don't exploit them like this, because I'm afraid that if they resist, there will really be no one left to work."

Old man Wang said, "Didn't you see that Erya came back and dragged his mother back to the house?" Erya was not like her parents. This girl was not simple. She had become a different person since she recovered from her last illness.

She no longer works. You see she walks from morning till night. She is no longer submissive like before. Erya looks young, but she has many tricks. Don't mess with her.

Now the two boys of the third child listen to Erya and don't work as hard as before. And haven't you noticed that the three children of the third child have grown taller recently?

They were also much fatter. They must have found some delicious food in the mountains. Or they secretly went to the town to buy food.

Old Mrs. Wang said, they don't have money to go to town to buy food. I think you are really stupid, that Erya can go back from the county town, just think about it.

Just from that rich family, steal something worthless. Do you really believe that Erya walked back from the county town?

I guess Erya still has some money in her hand, but she is distracted from us and won't take out the money anymore.

When Old Lady Wang heard that Erya had money, she immediately became excited. She thought that this girl must have a lot of money.

Old Man Wang said that it was not a big deal, at most he could steal one or two pieces of jewelry from the mansion.

And I heard from the fourth brother that Mr. Liu’s family was very poor and all their things were lost overnight. Erya took advantage of the chaos to run back at that time. This girl is very cunning and courageous.

If this girl gets powerful in the future, she will definitely take revenge on us. I think this girl hates us to death because she sold it this time.

Old Mrs. Wang also said that I had just scolded the third son’s wife. When she heard that I sold Erya, she looked at me with hatred in her eyes. I thought she wanted to eat me.

In the future, you'd better not offend the people from the third wife. Old Mrs. Wang said, "Do we have to support the third wife's family? If this family doesn't work, we'll all be left starving!"

We will take it one step at a time and wait and see how well the third child's leg can recover. If it really cannot be healed, we will separate the third room. Then they can live however they want!

The conversation between the old couple was heard clearly by Wang Laosan's youngest son. After listening, Wang Youjin returned to his room.

Then I found my sister and brother and told them about the conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Wang. My sister was smart, she knew that grandpa and grandma would definitely separate us.

Since he wants to separate us, we can't let Dad go to the fields. Wang Jingru said, don't worry, leave this matter to me, you just stay in the mountains every day.

When the money is divided among us, we will think about what we can do to earn money. After the three brothers and sisters discussed it, it was getting dark, and then Li Mei called for dinner.

Wang Laosan was the only one who didn't come out from the third room. The rest of them came out to eat. Wang Jingru even took a big bowl and scooped a full bowl of dry rice for her father, and also took two pancakes and some vegetables.

When Li Mei saw this, she refused to do it immediately. "Erya, you have become so corrupt. How can we eat? I made porridge, but you scooped it all out. Are you asking us to drink water?"

Wang Jingru said, "Aunt, my father is sick now. If he doesn't eat well, how can his bones grow? If he doesn't eat well, he has to be full."

At this time, Liu Chao also said, "Er Ya, you can't be so big! Your cousin and the others still need to eat!" Wang Jingru said angrily, "My father's leg was broken. Why?"

Don't you know that it was because my eldest uncle and second uncle didn't want to go that my father had to go. Not only did he have to go, but he also had to let my mother, a woman, go as well.

What's wrong with eating something? My father planted all the land. My father also harvested the food. You can eat enough for free at home. My father is injured, so can't he have enough to eat?

The two sisters-in-law were speechless and had nothing to say about what they had said.
