The Rise of a Farm Girl

After weeding the fields, there was no more work to do. In the afternoon, Old Lady Wang didn't let the two brothers rest, but asked them to go to the foot of the mountain to collect grass for pigs and firewood.

The two brothers didn't want to stay at home, so they took their sister to the foot of the mountain. The three brothers and sisters came to the foot of the mountain, talking and laughing.

They didn't want to stay at home. If they did, Old Lady Wang would scold the three of them, saying that they were the vampires of the house, lazy and greedy, and did nothing.

He also called the three of them unlucky stars, saying that they were just eating and doing nothing, but in fact, they were the ones doing all the housework.

They could sit at the foot of the mountain, rest, play, talk and laugh. If they were at home, they would not dare to speak loudly. If they spoke loudly and were heard by Old Lady Wang, they would always be scolded.

The three of them collected two more bundles of firewood and hid them. In preparation for going to town tomorrow, they returned just before dark, carrying a bundle of firewood and a basket of pig grass.

As soon as they entered the yard, Old Lady Wang saw the three brothers and sisters coming back, and they saw that they were only carrying a bundle of firewood and a basket of pig feed.

I was so angry that I yelled, "I worked all afternoon and only collected a bundle of firewood and a basket of pig grass. What on earth did you three do this afternoon?"

Even though it was just a small job, Wang Jingru was not the type to just accept it. She put the pig feed on the ground, walked up to Old Lady Wang and said, "Grandma, are all the family members paralyzed?"

Old Mrs. Wang didn't understand yet, so she asked again, what did you say?

Wang Jingru said it again, is this whole family paralyzed?

My brother and I are the youngest in the family, and we have to work every day. The whole family is at home, either eating or sleeping.

The three of us were as thin as bamboo poles, yet we still had to work all day.

If you think all this work is not enough, then look at your older grandchildren and your son, and see who does more work. Let them do it.

We have done so much work and have never had a full meal. If we don’t work, we can eat and drink well at home every day.

If that doesn't work, I'll go to the academy in town and ask the teacher what the reason is.

As soon as Wang Jingru finished speaking, Old Lady Wang got angry and said, "You little bastard, I think you are getting bolder and bolder. If you dare to go to the town and ruin your fourth uncle's reputation, I will skin you alive."

Wang Jingru was not afraid of him at all. How could he, a special forces soldier from the new century, be afraid of an old woman?

Wang Jingru said, my grandmother once said, "Even a desperate dog will jump over the wall! Even a desperate rabbit will bite!"

Please don't push us three siblings into a corner. If you do, do you think I would dare to do that? And you will ruin my fourth uncle's reputation. We three siblings work so hard and can't even get enough to eat. Why should I care about his reputation?

What does our fourth uncle’s good or bad reputation have to do with us? My two brothers don’t study.

Old Mrs. Wang wanted to make more noise, but Old Man Wang scolded her, "How can you talk to your child like that?"

The children are back from work, let’s start eating!

Then he looked at Wang Jingru and her two siblings and said, "Your grandma can't speak. Don't listen to her nonsense. She's doing a good job. Go wash your hands and eat!"

From today on, eat as much as you can when you eat. Don't listen to your grandma's nonsense. Those who work in our family must eat enough, and those who don't work should eat less.

Old Man Wang is a shrewd and scary person. The three siblings secretly went to the academy in the town to ruin the reputation of his fourth son.

If my reputation is really ruined, I won’t be able to read this book anymore.

He couldn't keep these three children at home all day and not let them do anything. So Old Man Wang was a smart man. He first appeased the three siblings and then slowly made plans later.

If it were the usual thing, Old Lady Wang would definitely take a fire stick and start beating the three siblings.

Every time, he would beat the three siblings until they were covered in bruises and then let them starve for two meals.

But this time Old Man Wang finally understood. Even though the girl is only six years old, she has big ideas!

He was afraid that the girl would push him too far and the situation would be hopeless.

If it weren't for this girl last time, there wouldn't have been rumors in the village, and the Wang family's reputation would have plummeted.

It seems that this girl can't be kept. I have to find a chance to get rid of her.

However, there is still a long way to go, so this matter still needs to be planned carefully.

The whole family sat at the table to eat. Before, the three siblings were not allowed to eat at the table.

But with Wang Jingru here, no one can beat her with her eloquence. As soon as the three of them sat down at the table, Wang Jingyi said unconvincedly, "Doesn't my sister usually eat in the kitchen?"

There are so many of us in the family that the table can't accommodate them all. Wang Jingru said, "Cousin, you are older than me, you should give way to your younger sister. Why don't you go to the kitchen to eat?"

Wang Jingyi is just a child after all, and she got angry all of a sudden, saying, "You stinky beggar, you shameless jinx."

Who wants to eat in the kitchen? Only a jinx like you deserves to eat in the kitchen. Hurry up and take your bowl to the kitchen. There is no place for you to eat on the table.

In fact, they ate at two tables. Old Man Wang led his two sons and the five grandsons to one table. Now with the addition of the two brothers, the tables were full, with ten people sitting at one table.

At their table, there were only old lady Wang, her two daughters-in-law, Wang Jingyi and Wang Jingru. Old man Wang felt it was too crowded, so he sent his youngest grandson, Wang Youjun, to old lady Wang's table.

Wang Youjun was unwilling and started crying. I don't want to sit at the women's table. I am a man. I don't want to sit at the women's table.

Old man Wang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. When Wang Tieshu saw that his father looked unhappy, he quickly scolded his son and said, "I will spank you if you cry again. Go to whichever table I tell you to go, otherwise don't eat."

You are becoming more and more lawless. You don't even listen to your grandfather. Liu Cao saw that her husband was angry. She quickly hugged her little son and coaxed him.

Old Man Wang said, "Let's eat." After he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, the others started fighting for it.

They ate faster than each other, and put food into their own bowls. They were afraid that they would not eat enough, and if they ate too slowly, they would not get any.

Everyone was fighting for the food, and before Old Man Wang had even taken two bites of food, the whole pot of food was gone.

Old man Wang was so angry that he slammed his chopsticks on the table and walked out with his hands behind his back.

If he doesn't cook enough for this big family, his old bones will go hungry. Old man Wang walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back and sighed deeply, wondering how this big family would survive.

The eldest brother's family is lazy and greedy, while the second brother's family is lazy, greedy and sly.

The third brother and his wife haven't come back yet, and the fourth brother is studying in college, which is not cheap. The money he uses every month flows out like water.

The family was already living beyond their means. They had already sold five mu of paddy fields. This was land that had been saved by generations of family members.

Could it be that he couldn't keep them and had to sell them all?

If the land was sold, their family would have a harder time making ends meet. If they didn't think of a way out, the third family's farming and labor alone would not be enough to support the whole family, let alone a scholar.

The fourth child was diligent and took a job as a copyist in the town. Otherwise, he might have been interrupted from studying.

Old Wang walked out of the courtyard and strolled around the village. There were still constant quarrels at home, and they couldn't shut up even when eating.

These people looked down on the two brothers from the third room and the little girl. When they saw that Old Man Wang had left, they became bolder.

The three boys of the eldest wife were all grown up, so they didn't want to argue with the two little cousins ​​and just started eating by themselves.

As for the two boys from the second room, only one of them was sitting at their table, and he couldn't make a scene alone, so he just ate in silence.

Wang Jingru saw the two brothers were at a loss, so she said, "Brothers, eat quickly." These two boys listen to their sister the most. They quickly picked up their bowls and started eating, not caring what anyone said.

The same was true for Wang Jingru. Seeing Wang Jingru eating so fast, Wang Jingyi also quickened her pace, mumbling while eating, "I'm a starving ghost, why are you eating so fast?"

Old Mrs. Wang also sped up her eating speed. Her plump body showed that she ate a lot every day.

Moreover, he was in charge of the family's food, so of course he would cook for himself from time to time, boil two eggs, and have to prepare any delicious food himself. Even Old Man Wang did not have this treatment.

After the meal, they started arguing again about who should wash the dishes. Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that she pointed at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Li, you wash the dishes today, and your sister-in-law will do it tomorrow."

Li Mei picked up the bowl reluctantly, but she didn't know how to do it by herself. She looked back at her daughter, Jingyi, "Hurry up, come to the kitchen with me to wash the bowl."

Wang Jingyi reluctantly went to the kitchen to wash the dishes with her mother. When she went to the kitchen, she glared at Wang Jingru fiercely.

Wang Jingru was not afraid of him, she was not the original owner, Wang Jingyi glared at her. She obediently followed him to the kitchen and took a rag to wash the dishes.

Then Wang Jingyi didn’t have to wash anymore and ran outside to play with her friends.

Wang Jingru and her two brothers returned to their room. They wanted to rest early as they had to go to town tomorrow morning!

The three siblings went to bed early. Wang Jingru had been busy all day, so she lay on the bed and fell asleep in just a few minutes.

It was just daybreak and Wang Jingru was still asleep when she was awakened by the scolding of Old Lady Wang.

Old Mrs. Wang held a wooden stick in her hand and knocked on the doors of the main and second rooms.

While knocking, he scolded, "You two lazy women, why don't you get up quickly? Hurry up and do the laundry, cook, clean the yard, feed the pigs and chickens."

You two lazy bastards, the sun is already shining on your butts, why don’t you get up and work?

The two wives from the first and second wives quickly responded, "Mom, we'll get up right away."

After a while, sporadic noises were heard, and two people came out and started to get busy.

In the past, when Wang Jingru's parents were at home, this work was done by the couple.

My family is really like that. They won't get up unless the sun shines on their butts. They really enjoyed everything in the past, but now they won't have such a good life anymore.

Wang Jingru will not let her parents be so tired. She wants to make this family fall apart bit by bit.

In the end, they split up and lived their own lives. After the family was divided, she led her parents and two brothers to make a fortune.

Wang Jingru was woken up. She couldn't fall asleep anymore and rolled over in bed. She got up and dressed. They were going to town today and there were still many things to do!

Wang Jingru went outside to brush her teeth and wash her face. This family was so poor that other families would rinse their mouths with salt, but they didn’t because salt was very expensive. Even coarse salt was something they couldn’t afford to use.

Wang Jingru could only brush her teeth with willow branches. After washing up, breakfast was ready. The breakfast was very simple, with only pickles and wild vegetable porridge. There was not even any pancakes.

Everyone ate pickled vegetables and a bowl of wild vegetable porridge. After eating, Wang Jingru took the backpack and walked out. She didn't want to wash the dishes.

In the past, this job was all done by Wang Jingru. When her second aunt Liu Cao saw Wang Jingru was about to leave, she hurriedly said loudly, "Er Ya! Wait a minute before you leave. Wash the dishes and clean up the table. Then go to the mountain to collect grass for the pigs."

Oh, by the way, let's feed the chickens and pigs as well! Wang Jingru carried the basket on her back and walked out of the yard without looking back. She also shouted loudly, "Second Aunt, isn't it your turn to do this job today? Why let a six-year-old girl do it?"
