Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Along the way, the ox cart kept shaking and the autumn sun was scorching everywhere.

......

A quarter of an hour later, An Yue finally arrived near her home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my sister-in-law Meng Xiuer hanging Xiaobao's clothes in the yard.

When Meng Xiuer saw An Yue coming back, she asked with concern, "Yueyue, how did that thing go?"

An Yue hurried into the main hall, poured a bowl of water and started drinking it.

Then he replied, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the matter has been settled. The master told me to wait another three to five days to pick it up."

"Well, let's wait first." Meng Xiuer hung up the clothes, picked up the wooden basin and walked to the bluestone slab.

An Yue came out of the main hall to wash her hands, and said as she washed her hands: "There are still four days left before Niannian will take the Tongshi exam. This hot pot furnace is forged just in time for Niannian to finish the exam."

Chunzhi was cooking lunch in the kitchen. She stuck her head out and shouted, "Lunch is ready!"

"Okay, I'll go to the east and call Daniu and the others to come back for dinner." An Yue said, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

......

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already three days later.

That day, early in the morning.

The whole family got up early.

Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer were making breakfast in the kitchen, while her aunt and grandmother were sitting in the yard, finishing up the new shoes they had made for An Nian.

An Yue was much calmer. She simply packed two sets of autumn clothes for herself and An Nian.

......

Soon, the family sat together for breakfast.

An Yue swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said to everyone, "In order to let Nian Nian have a good rest and arrive at the examination venue on time, I plan to take Nian Nian to the county town in advance."

"After arriving at the county town, find an inn to stay for the night."

Grandma said seriously, "Go! The new shoes are ready. After breakfast, try them on to see if they fit you."

The eldest aunt buried her head and muttered quietly, "He started taking the exam at such a young age, and he will take it until he is old."

An Yue heard everything she said.

Now, she is no longer the An Yue who used to swallow her anger.

She slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, turned around and asked with an unhappy look on her face: "Aunt, what do you mean by saying this?"

Faced with An Yue's questioning, Aunt Zhang was speechless and her eyes were evasive.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "It would be good if I could pass the exam. If I fail, my family will suffer."

"Boss, what do you mean by that?"

"Mother, your eldest son has been preparing for the imperial examination for many years, spending all of our family savings, but in the end he didn't pass the exam to become a scholar."

"Now, another person from the An family is going to take the exam. I'm so angry just thinking about it."

Zhou took a deep breath and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

Then, a slap landed on Zhang's face.

"You... you... look at what nonsense you are saying! You have been married to Dacai for all these years, and Dacai has always given in to you, but you are still not satisfied!"

"Now, Nian Nian is about to take the exam, and you...you actually said such stupid, inappropriate and crazy words! I think you are really crazy!"

The eldest aunt said with tears on her face: "Yes, I am crazy! You two old people shut yourself in and take care of yourselves, your son is obsessed with pursuing fame, and all the big and small things at home, as well as the farm work all year round, are left to Qing'er and me."

"Over the years, I have been working like a slave in the An family. Do you know how much hardship Qing'er and I have suffered in order to pass the imperial examination?"

An Yue said unhappily, "Aunt, first of all, my brother An Nian went to take the exam for the Tongsheng degree. I didn't ask you to pay a penny, did I?"

"Also, if you feel you've had enough of this house, you can leave at any time."

After he finished speaking, the entire main hall fell silent.

My aunt-in-law didn't say anything else, but stood up and walked into the yard.

Everyone at the table quickly finished their food and left the table in tacit agreement.

Just like that, what was originally a harmonious breakfast ended up in a quarrel because of the disturbance caused by my aunt-in-law.

After breakfast, Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer cleaned the table.

An Yue pulled An Nian back to the room, folded the clothes that had been packed in advance, and then tied them up in a bundle.

At this time, An Nian pulled An Yue's clothes and asked in a somewhat dejected manner: "Will studying every year make you feel tired and miserable?"

An Yue noticed that An Nian's mood was affected by her aunt, so she even put down the work in her hands.

He turned around, held An Nian's face with both hands, shook his head and said firmly: "No."

"Everyone has their own way of living. If you want to pass the imperial examinations every year, then just work hard in that direction without any distractions. I will be behind you and support you forever."

When An Nian heard what An Yue said, tears welled up in his eyes.

An Yue wiped the tears from An Nian's face, took An Nian's hand, smiled and said calmly: "Of course, if Nian Nian wants to farm with me, I will be happy and support you as well."

"Sister, I..."

An Nian raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his face and opened his mouth to say something.

An Yue patted the back of An Nian's hand twice and comforted her, "Niannian, you don't have to care about what your aunt just said. She made such a fuss because she felt that your uncle had accomplished nothing and she couldn't change anything, so she got emotional."

An Nian pursed his lips and nodded.

Seeing that An Nian's mood had calmed down a lot, An Yue quickly stood up, patted her chest and said confidently, "Who am I? I am your sister! An omnipotent sister."

"But, sister also gets tired sometimes, and Niannian feels sorry for her."

After hearing what An Nian said, An Yue felt quite touched.

"Okay, okay! With your sister here, just work hard and do what you want to do with confidence!"

An Yue prompted: "Could it be that Niannian has forgotten what he said before?"

An Nian looked at An Yue with a look of understanding.

An Yue reminded her word by word: "Niannian said that you will be a sister in the future..."

An Nian quickly answered: "Strong support! Nian Nian has never forgotten it!"

An Yue smiled with relief and nodded: "Okay, okay, that's right! We're going to take the exam tomorrow, so adjust your mood quickly."

When An Nian heard what An Yue said, a warm smile appeared on his face.

Next, the brother and sister began to pack clothes, pens, ink and other things together.

‘Dong-dong-dong. ’

The brother and sister turned around and saw their aunt standing at the door with a pair of new shoes.

With a trace of embarrassment and guilt on her face, the eldest aunt said softly, "Niannian, Yueyue, it was my fault for saying those stupid things just now. Don't take it to heart."

An Yue glanced at her, didn't respond, and continued to bend over to pack her things.

An Nian walked to the door of the room and replied generously: "Aunt, it's okay."

The aunt hurriedly handed the shoes in her hand to An Nian and said with a smile:
