Chapter 18: The Contemptuous Glance of Second Aunt
"Sister's hand is scalded and can't cut the grass!" Tian Lu hastily said, also raising Tian Huan's injured hand to shake it towards Zhao Qiu Xiang.
"What a fuss!" Zhao Qiuxiang glared at Tian Yuan, "She can't cut the grass, but you can, right?"
"In the past few days, it was always me and LuLu who went to cut the grass, even if it's a turn, today should be MeiMei's turn, right? Besides, LuLu is still MeiMei's sister, where would there be any task that would let her sister go?" TianYuan chimed in.
She's always like this, pushing everything onto her two sisters' shoulders. Cutting grass, feeding pigs, picking vegetables - as long as it's something the two sisters can do, she'll keep piling it on them. Watching a 10-year-old and a 9-year-old busy themselves with chores, while she, an adult, stands outside chatting with others, saying that her brother's two daughters are so lazy.
"Mei Mei is studying! You think Mei Mei is like you two sisters, gluttonous and lazy, not reading books properly, one always scoring 20-30 points, the other always scoring 50-60 points." Zhao Qiuxiang said with satisfaction, "Fortunately, Mei Mei didn't learn from you two sisters. Humph, being in the same family as you is really a misfortune for eight lifetimes, a nest of fools!"
"Yes, Mei is really impressive, she scored over 70 points, it's truly remarkable! Auntie Er, Mei is so capable, why hasn't she brought back an award certificate? Who knows, maybe Mei will get into Tsinghua or Peking University in the future and become our village's first university student!" Tian Yuan followed Zhao Qiuxiang's words and started to praise her, thinking that Tian Mei was indeed very impressive. She was happy to flatter others, after all, life isn't about relying on flattery to get ahead."
"Alright, let's go and study hard too. In the future when our sister gets into Tsinghua or Peking University, we two sisters must also work hard. It's still a stretch to think about getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, but at least we should aim for high school." Tian Yuan took Tian Lu by the hand with her uninjured hand and headed towards her own room, saying "Lu and I will go do our homework, the task of cutting the rabbit grass can be left to our diligent Aunt Er."
Tian Wan pulled Tian Lu back into the main hall and headed to the second floor, where both of their rooms were located. The distance was short, and Zhao Qiu Xiang followed behind, scolding and grumbling for a long time, attracting everyone's attention.
"Second sister-in-law, who are you scolding? Your scolding can be heard from far away." Fang Shi walked over to Zhao Qiuxiang with the vegetables she had just cut from the garden.
The Tian family's ancestral home can now accommodate quite a few people. Tian Mu Chun has two younger brothers, both of whom are uncles to Tian Wei. The second uncle passed away early, but the second aunt is still in good health. The second uncle had two sons, while the third uncle had no children at all.
At first, the second uncle gave birth to a second son and saw that the third uncle had no children, so he took the initiative to give a younger son to Lao San. Who knew that this little son also died soon after being given away? Later, the village spread the rumor that Tianjia Lao San was unlucky in marriage and childbearing, and even Lao San Tian Mao Hang didn't dare to want an heir anymore.
The elder son of Second Uncle Tian Fang's wife is the Fang Shi who was talking to Zhao Qiu Xiang, this Fang Shi has no other hobbies, just like her mother-in-law Wen Hua, she especially likes to see others' jokes. This Fang Shi now also gave birth to two sons and one daughter, her body became prosperous and a bit severe, holding the vegetable basket and walking with a shake.
"Who else can I scold, if not the two daughters of Old Lao? They're so lazy and gluttonous. This early in the morning, they don't know where to run off to. Tell her to go cut some rabbit grass and she'll pretend to be sick or hurt. If not that, then she'll pretend to have a fever, or claim her hand is scalded. Let Tian Lu go, huh? And then she tells me, 'I'm going to do my homework!'"
