My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens
Chapter 51 Standing Up for My Sister
Auntie Tian's face flushed red with anger, but she couldn't bring herself to vent her anger on anyone else. She swung her chopsticks at her daughter's head, "What bad luck! What bad luck! You're really useless! You can't even attract any business!"
The woman buying buns said, "Sister Tian, you're not right. You made Xiao Ni look like this, are you expecting her to bring you business? It's a good thing she doesn't scare people away."
Aunt Luo also disagreed: "We are a breakfast shop, not some place. Look at what Xiaoni looks like."
Auntie Tian was very angry and pointed at her younger sister and said, "Why are you only criticizing me? Why don't you criticize her? Look at the way she's soliciting business, she doesn't look like she's doing a serious business."
There happened to be a few guests coming to my sister's house at this time. She was busy introducing them to others. She was generous and open-minded. No matter whether the person sitting opposite her was a man or a woman, she was very enthusiastic and lively.
Naturally, I don't have time to care about Aunt Tian's gossip.
But Si Muyan was unhappy and walked over and said, "Auntie Tian, if you insult my sister again, don't blame me for being rude."
The little sister was stunned for a moment and even forgot what she wanted to say to the guests. She was deeply moved.
She has grown up in the past few years and understood a lot of things, especially the relationship between men and women. She also knows that she is good-looking and can attract men to do things for her by acting a little coquettishly and flirting.
She didn’t think it was a big deal before, but outsiders always like to gossip, and every time she brings it up, her eldest sister would scold her harshly.
But today, Aunt Tian scolded her twice, and the eldest sister was free in the morning, so she argued back.
But she is still busy now, and with so many people around, and the eldest sister actually put down her business and went to stand up for her?
Aunt Tian said angrily: "Am I wrong? You sisters are all shameless..."
Si Muyan strode forward and slapped Auntie Tian in the face. "I thought you were old and didn't want to argue with you, but I didn't expect you to be such a scoundrel. My sister is only fifteen years old and is working with me to set up a stall. She's a little smart and lively, and now she has to endure such insults from you?"
As soon as she started to fight, everyone around her was shocked, whether they were vendors or customers, they all rushed forward to try to stop the fight.
"Forget it, forget it, boss lady, you are such a fool. Why do you have to pick on this little girl?"
"Oh, how could you, a little girl, hit her? She just said a few words, it's nothing serious."
Si Muyan glared at Aunt Tian coldly and said, "I didn't want to bother with her at first, but she's been provoking us again and again. Does she think we sisters are nothing? If I keep silent and others really believe her nonsense, how will we sisters live in the future?"
Aunt Luo said quickly, "No, that's just how Sister Tian is. How could we take it seriously? You sisters are all good people. If you were really that lowly creature, why would you get up so early in the morning and come sell porridge?"
Auntie Tao had already abandoned her stall and rushed over when she saw the fight, shouting, "That's right, you're all respectable people, clean-looking. She's jealous of you, and we all know that. Don't you agree?"
The vendors and customers around were all looking at the aggressive Auntie Tian who had dressed her daughter up in such a grotesque way, and then at the younger sister and brother. They thought these half-grown children were very well-behaved.
How could there be any weird look about it?
Everyone nodded, thinking that Aunt Luo and Aunt Tao were right.
People are often like this. Although they will sympathize with the weak, it depends on whether the two sides can see that there is a real gap.
When a dispute arises without a big gap between the two people, most people will tend to favor the one who looks better.
The three siblings of the Si family are not only good-looking, but also very decent and clean.
She was clearly wearing a coarse linen shirt with patches on the frayed parts, but the girl was clever and deft, and she embroidered the patches into the shape of flowers.
So lovely.
Who doesn’t like clean and good-looking children?
At this moment, the little sister just served the porridge to the customer. She was about to smile, but quickly restrained her smile and said with a sad face: "Uncle... your porridge."
The uncle slammed the table and said, "Big sister, don't listen to the nonsense that woman across the street says. Your sister is right. What's wrong with being generous and lively? I wouldn't say your porridge is delicious, but it tastes just average. I'm happy to have two young girls smiling and serving us porridge, right?"
The customer next to him also said: "That's right, and your porridge is delicious. I eat a different flavor every day and never get tired of it. Why do you care what others say?"
There was another woman eating porridge here: "I heard that if your heart is dirty, everything you see is dirty. You are very open and honest, there is nothing shameful. Little girl, I like you very much. You are as lively and cheerful as my sister."
The younger sister was even more moved and said, "Thank you uncles, thank you aunts."
Aunt Luo patted Si Muyan's hand and said, "Yan girl is such a good sister. She knows how to protect her younger brothers and sisters!"
The farce was quickly resolved, but Aunt Tian was still confused.
No, it was obviously her who was beaten, so why did everyone go to comfort those two little girls?
Why?
But no one really cares about them.
Others are discussing it.
"The noodles at that noodle stall are really not tasty. I used to want to eat something hot, but I was annoyed by the fact that the other noodle shops were too crowded and I had to wait in line for a long time, so I would occasionally go to the noodle stall above."
"Everyone's like that. If you're working at the morning market, your food has to be delicious so people will keep eating. Why do you have to do all that fancy stuff? You even dress up your own daughter like she's neither human nor ghost. I really don't know what people are thinking."
Tian Xiaoni was already feeling bad from being beaten and scolded by her mother. Now she heard so many people laughing at her and blaming her mother. How could she bear it?
He dropped the chopsticks he was about to wash and turned around and ran away.
"Hey, why are you running, you damn girl!" Aunt Tian became even angrier when she saw her daughter running away.
She was very upset. She saw that other stalls were doing good business, especially the one belonging to the three siblings of the Si family. They were surrounded by people and had already started queuing.
There weren't many people here to begin with, and now they've all run away.
……
The porridge sold out quickly today, so the Si sisters did not stay long. They left their younger brother here to look after the things while waiting for Song Erqiang to come and take them away. The two sisters then went to the market to buy what they needed.
The younger sister was in high spirits and whispered, "Big sister, we're doing great today! We've sold out! I calculated we can make a little over 400 coins!"
The villagers who went to the county town to work earned thirty or forty cents a day, but the three siblings could earn in one day what a strong laborer would earn in ten days.
So many!
As long as my elder sister stops making money, I will definitely be able to save money. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
"Yes." Si Muyan smiled. "To be honest, today's achievement is all yours. When we go back, each of us will be rewarded with five coins, and you will get an extra three coins."
