My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Aunt Zhu became more and more angry the more she thought about it. Looking at the messy house and her husband sitting with his legs crossed, eating the melon seeds that Zhu Laoer had sent her yesterday, she became so angry that she walked up and grabbed Zhu Laoer's ear.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. Are you a reincarnated pig?"

Boss Zhu was startled and yelled, "Are you sick? Why are you going crazy for no reason?"

"All right? All right now? Oh my god, sir, I've been following you for so many years, what kind of life have I led? Looking at others and then looking at myself, I might as well just die!"

Boss Zhu was baffled. "Everyone in the village lives like this. In good years, we have a good harvest. How can such a good life be worse than death? Now that the child is grown up, I don't have to worry about him anymore. What else do you want to be considered a good life?"

"Boss Zhu, you're such a heartless person! How many times a year can I eat meat following you? During Chinese New Year, when the village slaughters the annual pig, you only dare to buy two pounds of spare ribs! And you have to feed the children first. How many pieces can I even eat?"

"This... besides spare ribs, isn't there pork? There's plenty of mutton, too, and we even killed a chicken..." Boss Zhu scratched his head, "Who eats meat every day? Isn't it enough to satisfy your cravings once or twice a month? You think it's not enough? Then I'll let you have two more pieces for the New Year's dinner this year, okay?"

Aunt Zhu was so angry that she vomited blood. She pointed outside and cursed, "Whose family is this? Your mother eats meat every day at that Si family, right? Your two younger brothers earn money outside and eat meat every day, too, don't they?"

This was the truth. The Si family was now the best off in the entire village. My mother stayed at the Si family, taking care of the children and growing vegetables, so we had meat every meal. Not to mention my two younger brothers, who had earned money outside and had come back dressed differently.

Boss Zhu stammered, "But...it was you who forced my mother to go to the Si family..."

"That's because your mother is a worthless person. She even harmed her own granddaughter!" Aunt Zhu twisted Zhu Lao Da, "Let's go to the Si family and ask for an explanation!"

Boss Zhu asked, "Ah? What explanation are you asking for? The Si family didn't do anything. They raised my mother. Why am I asking for an explanation?"

"Humph, the Si family is clearly taking advantage. Your mother is only in her fifties, the perfect working age! You're her eldest son, shouldn't you be the first to receive any good things from the Si family? Why should they give it to the second and third sons first?"

Si Muyan had already wrapped red envelopes for everyone with red paper and wrote a name on each one.

Even Dachun had one. He held his red envelope and followed his younger brother and asked, "Xiao An, what are these words?"

"This is Da, this is Chun, this is your name."

Dachun cheered: "My name, so this is my name."

The others were also very happy. They looked at the words on the red envelope. They didn't recognize them, but they knew it was their own name. There was a red envelope with their own name on it, and there was also a copper coin inside.

It is the result of their hard work for this month or several months.

No, they were paid for their hard work, which was an extra bonus.

If you follow the Si family, you can really get meat to eat.

Everyone was laughing and talking, and some villagers came to join in the fun, asking when the Si family would recruit again.

Si Muyan smiled and said, "I see a lot of people from the village have come, and I just happen to have something to tell you."

Everyone knew that the head of the Si family was not Si Xingzhi, but Si Muyan. Everyone stopped talking and listened carefully.

Si Muyan said, "Next year, our Sijia Food Shop plans to expand, covering all the counties near Lingnan. The specific cooperation methods are still under consideration, but it will generate a lot of work and require a lot of people."

You may not understand what I said before, but everyone understands this sentence: There are many people who need it.

"My plan is to build a workshop specifically for making base materials. We need strong laborers to build the workshop before the spring plowing season. After the workshop is built, we will need a permanent staff. Initially, we plan to have fifteen people, and we will definitely add more later. This staff must be women."

"I want to sign up!"

"You can't do it, Cuihua mother? You have elderly people and children at home, how can you work for a long time? Yan girl, I can do it, I can do it, my children are grown up, my parents-in-law are healthy, I can work."

……

Listening to everyone's enthusiastic discussion, Si Muyan said, "It hasn't started yet. Everyone, go back and tell everyone else. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, those who want to sign up should come to the Si family, where Granny Zhu is..."

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Zhu's sharp voice came from outside.

"Why do you, the Si family, bully others like this? You do it on purpose!"

Si Muyan frowned and looked outside.

Because there were so many people today, the shop workers received their red envelopes in the main hall and then chatted in the courtyard. The villagers surrounded the Si family, some inside the courtyard, some outside, so the courtyard door could not be closed.

Seeing Aunt Zhu coming towards them aggressively, everyone unconsciously made way for her to pass.

At the same time, I am also very curious, what did the Si family do to make Aunt Zhu so angry?

The second sister, the youngest sister and the youngest brother immediately walked up to Si Muyan and stood beside her, all looking outside the door with similar expressions.

Aunt Zhu came in and saw this scene. They were clearly four little kids, but for some reason, they seemed to give off an aura that kept strangers away, which made her feel a little less confident.

Si Muyan said loudly, "Could someone please help me get the village head uncle over here and tell him that our Si family has been slandered and framed, and ask him to come and seek justice. If that doesn't work, then go and get the village head directly."

Aunt Zhu staggered with fear when she heard these words. She said hurriedly, "No... not at all... why would we alarm the head of the pavilion?"

"You are slandering us here, and you don't allow us to be on guard?" asked the younger sister.

Aunt Zhu remembered her purpose and became tough. She put her hands on her hips and said, "You are the ones bullying me. My mother-in-law works for you. Why don't you pay her?"

The Si family was shocked, and Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan were also shocked.

Mrs. Zhu looked bewildered: "Wages? There are wages."

In fact, she didn't have any salary, but Si Muyan gave her family some pocket money regularly. Si Xingzhi and his younger brother had some, but Shao Qin wasn't very smart, and Xiao Xia'er was too young to have any. But Mrs. Zhu also had some, and she got as much as her younger brother did.

If calculated monthly, I can earn about two hundred copper coins.

Si Muyan pulled Mrs. Zhu to the back and said in a cold voice, "What does it have to do with you whether Mrs. Zhu is paid or not? Big Brother Zhu, you have long since disowned your own mother. She has lived in my house for several months, and I have never seen you show any concern for her. Second and third brothers Zhu used to visit her often and would bring her rice, oil, and meat. Later, when they were busy, they never forgot to give me money as living expenses. Have you ever come to see your mother once? How dare you come and ask for your wages now?"
