Chapter Nine The Bitter Sisters

The next day, Tian Minyan was woken up by Luo Shi. She rubbed her eyes in confusion, looked at the sky outside the window through the window lattice, and said confusedly: "Mom, is it dawn?"

"Hey, get up quickly, it's time to have breakfast." Luo looked at her lovingly, holding a wooden comb in his hand and said, "Mom, help you comb your hair."

"Oh." Tian Minyan got up and sat on the kang, her head still biting like a chicken eating rice. It wasn't until the thorns of the wooden comb scratched her scalp that she became more awake, glanced at the kang, and asked

: "Where are my brother and my little brother?"

"Your brother went out to pick up cow dung with your father, and Xiaowu ran off somewhere." Luo Shi's hands flexibly pulled up Tian Minyan's yellow hair and wrapped it around his head.

Tian Minyan was startled, and then she remembered that people in the countryside were like this. They would go out to pick up cow dung before dawn, and they would save it for fertilizer and heating in winter.

According to what was written in the book she read in her previous life, the most industrious members of the family are Mr. Tian and Tian Huairen. They can do any work in the fields and are not too tired. They are also very diligent with their two children.

The eldest brother, Tian Huaide, has a reputation because he was admitted as a scholar. In addition to getting two buckets of rice every year, he does not have to kneel when he meets an official. Because he is determined to obtain a higher reputation, he has not been busy in the fields. As for the second child, Tian Huaixiao

, then he is a bastard, just like his mother-in-law, he is lazy and good at eating, and he only expects pie in the sky to make him rich.

After combing her two buns and tying them with two red ribbons, Luo brought her a basin of water and a washcloth for her to wash her face. After wringing the washcloth, she heard Mrs. Tian's ear-splitting shouts.

"The old men are all coming back. Why don't you serve breakfast? Do they want me, an old woman, to serve as the eldest mistress? You are so heartless and heartless..."

Tian Minyan clearly felt Luo Shi's body stiffen, and before she could move, she heard her say: "Nanny, be good, wash your face and come over to the room, ah."

"Mom, I understand." Tian Minyan smiled and waved her face towel, and Luo Shi quickly opened the door curtain and walked out.

Soon, Tian Minyan heard Luo Shi Nuonuo whispering something, but she was quickly covered up by Jiang Shi's scolding.

Tian Minyan couldn't help but twitch her lips. Thinking of the top-notch people in this family and the two married people, her temples started to beat fast. How was she going to live like this?

Tian Minyan had known for a long time that people in ancient times didn't have much to do at night. They would just get into bed after turning off the lights, so the children would pop out one after another. She also knew that the Tian family was very big and very crowded, but she saw that the upper room was full of people.

As people in the room were milling around, she felt a severe pain in her head.

"Hey, Yan girl is here. Let's show Auntie her face. Look at her red cheeks. Isn't that great?" When Ms. Chen saw Tian Minyan entering the room, she came over with a smile and held her hand with such affectionate energy.

, just like her own daughter, Tian Minyan was so disgusted that she felt nauseated.

"Huh! She's the only one who can pretend. If you fall into a river and see a doctor, you can get two hundred coppers. No one else can spend money like her." A sharp voice penetrated the eardrums, Tian Minyan raised her head, and met a man with a sharp head and a narrow forehead.

Girls of twelve or thirteen years old looked at each other.

Tian Minqing, thirteen years old, the eldest daughter of the second wife, has an average appearance, loves to climb high and be greedy for petty gains, and often flatters the eldest daughter of the family.

With these information flashing through Tian Minyan's mind, her eyes couldn't help but squint.

"According to the second sister, if I fell into the river and died, the two hundred copper coins wouldn't be worth spending, right?" Tian Minyan sneered, and her voice suddenly became louder: "Then second sister, you should have had menstrual pain at that time.

Spend three hundred copper coins to buy those black-bone chicken and white phoenix balls?"
