Evil Sister in Charge: As long as you are thick-skinned, you can eat meat every meal

As night falls, the only sound that can be heard in the darkness-shrouded Qingshan Village is the croaking of frogs.

Five heads gathered together. Except for Mrs. Zhou who was calm, the other four looked curiously at the beads in her hand that were emitting soft green light.

Zhou Sisi touched the glowing bead with her hand. It was quite good to use it as a night light to go to the bathroom at night.

"Grandma, is this the legendary night-shining pearl?"

Mrs. Zhou shook her head and replied to Zhou Sisi: "This is not a night-shining pearl. Although I have never seen a night-shining pearl, I have seen this pearl."

"This is a mermaid pearl. Legend has it that mermaids can turn their tears into pearls, which will automatically emit light in the dark night and go out during the day. When I was a child, I saw a traveling merchant who used a pearl much smaller than this one to exchange for a horse!"

"I saw it with my own eyes when I went to sell animal skins with my father, so I was so surprised when I first opened it. I was not sure before, but now I am sure that this is the Mermaid Pearl!"

Zhou Sisi didn't expect that her grandmother was so knowledgeable and knew so much!

She had read the Classic of Mountains and Seas in modern times, which confirmed that mermaids really did exist in ancient times. According to the legend, the tears of mermaids could indeed turn into pearls.

"If we catch a mermaid and make it cry every day, can we harvest a lot of beads like this every day?"

Zhou Yun'an raised his excited little face and asked sincerely.

"ah!"

"Grandma, why did you hit my head!" Zhou Yun'an pouted in grievance. Why was his grandma's hand so strong that it hurt his head.

"What are you dreaming about? You're making the mermaid cry. I'm going to beat you up until you cry first!"

"Mermaids live in the sea, which is tens of thousands of miles away from us. Do you know how to swim? And you're still thinking about catching mermaids. Why don't you go to the sky?"

"With your small body, you are at most just enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of a mermaid. Stop daydreaming!"

Zhou Sisi watched her brother being beaten by Mrs. Zhou and smiled with a gloating look on her face. Her brother was really bold, but he also had a good business sense. If he was trained well, he would be a good candidate to become a profiteer.

"Grandma, put these beads in your room. You don't have to light the oil lamp when you get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night."

"Learn more from your elder sister. You only know how to think about things. Go wash up and go to bed!"

"Get up early and go to school tomorrow!" When Mrs. Zhou heard her granddaughter say this, she felt warm in her heart. Her granddaughter was so thoughtful.

When the family members lay down on their beds, except for Zhou Sisi who fell asleep immediately, everyone else had an excited look on their faces.

Mrs. Zhou touched the soft quilt on the bed, looked at the new furniture in the room, and smiled happily. She took out six incense sticks, lit them, and bowed to the bright moon outside the window, hoping that the old man and the second son could hear her condolences. These days will get better and better.

The two children climbed up and down the bunk beds excitedly. It was the first time for them to sleep on such beds and they were so excited that they didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Finally, Zhou Nian'an from the next room heard the noise and came over, pressed the two men down on their beds with one hand each, and ordered them to close their eyes and sleep. If he heard the noise again, he would call her big sister to spank them.

The two little ones then went to sleep obediently, mainly because the eldest sister had worked hard all day and they couldn't let her get tired again. After all, beating people is also a physical job.

Seeing that his two younger brothers had behaved themselves, Zhou Nian'an returned to his new house. He lay on the soft bed, smelling the faint pine scent emanating from the pine furniture, and gradually fell asleep as he felt sleepy.

In his dream, he seemed to see his father, who looked at him kindly and told him that he must listen to his eldest sister, grow up to be a useful person, and provide a support for his family.

In the early morning, the entire Qingshan Village was shrouded in a light white mist. Although it was early summer, the air at this moment was a little cool.

As people get older, they sleep less. Mrs. Zhou was the first one to get up. After washing up, she started busying herself in the kitchen.

I cooked porridge, made meat buns, and boiled ten eggs in the pot.

Zhou Sisi specially asked Sun Erzhu to have someone build this stove according to her drawings. It has one big pot and two small pots, so that rice, frying vegetables and boiling water can be prepared at the same time without wasting any time.

You can burn fire on both sides, and it is very convenient to operate. One person can easily handle the task of cooking.

She put two more pieces of wood into the stove, letting it slowly stew the porridge in the pot, and then Mrs. Zhou took a broom and started sweeping the yard.

As soon as I opened the gate, I was frightened.

"You are?"

The grandfather and grandson of Xu Jin's family were squatting at the door of her house. Looking at the moisture on their hair, Mrs. Zhou knew that they must have been squatting at the door for a long time.

"We are here to look for Miss Zhou, we are here to work!" Xu Jinhan smiled and scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xu Younian, Xu Jin's eight-year-old son, hid behind his father with a little fear.

"Oh! It's you! Come in quickly, Sisi hasn't woken up yet!"

"You guys come in first, I'll go wake her up!"

Mrs. Zhou now knew that these people were relatives introduced by the bamboo craftsman to work here. She had heard from Zhou Sisi before that they were also poor people, alas!

Throwing down the broom in her hand, Mrs. Zhou hurried back to the house and called Zhou Sisi to get up.

"Knock, knock, knock! Sisi, get up, people are coming to work!"

"I've prepared breakfast, hurry up and get up!"

Mrs. Zhou did not push open Zhou Sisi's door directly, but knocked on the door to inform her.

Girls should have some privacy when they grow up. It’s not good to just push the door open rashly.

"Got it, I'll get up right away!"

Zhou Sisi rubbed her eyes and then a happy smile appeared on her face. Her grandmother was so nice. Although she was an old lady from ancient times, her ideological awareness was really not inferior to that of modern people.

Nowadays, many elders enter the rooms of their juniors without knocking, and even rummage through their things and infringe on the privacy of their juniors, without any sense of boundaries at all.

If the younger generations are unhappy and talk back, they will say that I am their child, so what's wrong with looking at you?

If there is no ghost, why are you so nervous!

Not only will they put the blame on you, but they will also make you cry and use moral blackmail to force you to apologize, tit tut tut!

When Zhou Sisi finished packing and left the yard, she saw Mrs. Zhou standing aside with an embarrassed look on her face. The three members of the Xu family were one chopping wood, one sweeping the floor, and the younger one was helping to organize the chopped firewood.

When they saw Zhou Sisi coming, everyone had an honest smile on their face. They nodded at Zhou Sisi and continued with their work.

"They behaved like this as soon as I came out. How embarrassing!" Mrs. Zhou came over and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, if they want to do it, let them do it, otherwise they will be uncomfortable!"

"Grandma, go and boil a few more eggs. I guess they didn't have breakfast this early in the morning!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Mrs. Zhou immediately understood what her granddaughter meant and ran back to the kitchen to cook ten more eggs.
