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

I didn't care what happened to Aunt Tian. She had already counted out the four hundred coins, and when she got four taels of silver, she secretly stuffed the four hundred coins into the hands of the chief market inspector.

"I've made you work so hard today. This little token of my appreciation is like treating you to tea."

There were seven officials, each received fifty cents, and the leader received fifty cents more.

My little sister is very good at doing the math.

The city supervisor's expressionless face suddenly softened, and he looked at the little sister approvingly: "Of course, of course. You are so polite, young lady."

The reason why he was willing to help the Si siblings was, firstly, because everyone was on their side, and secondly, seeing that the three siblings were young and looked respectable, one could not help but feel soft-hearted.

I didn’t expect that this little girl is not only pretty and sweet-spoken, but also capable.

Not bad.

After the market supervisors had left, the younger sister, with a face full of sorrow in front of everyone else, turned around and said to her younger brother, "Little brother, you stay here while my elder sister and I go fix the porridge cart and buy new pottery jars and other things. It'll take a while, okay?"

I was not happy, looking at the expression of my third sister pretending to be sad. It was obvious that the corners of her mouth could not be suppressed no matter how hard she tried.

Such a distorted face is really eye-catching.

After pushing the porridge cart out of the morning market, the younger sister was so happy that she almost jumped up: "Big sister, am I awesome? Four taels of silver! Hehehe!"

Si Muyan was generous with her praise: "It has to be you, little sister, otherwise I would definitely not be able to get so much money."

The younger sister continued to calculate, "The porridge cart definitely doesn't need to be completely replaced. Besides, I've checked it out, and it wasn't badly damaged, so repairing it shouldn't cost much. But we'll need to buy new pottery jars and bowls, which will cost a tael of silver. As for the porridge, we've already sold half of it, so hey, we've made back the original cost. I just gave the market supervisor four hundred coins, which makes me feel a little sad."

Si Muyan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I wanted to remind you, but there were too many people around at the time, so it was not easy to say it directly. I didn't expect you to know? I was worried that you valued money too much."

The younger sister chuckled, "Sister, you told me before that money should be saved and spent. If you can't save the money given to the officials, you'll be in trouble if you get bullied in the future. I didn't understand it before, but now I've been doing business for so long, how can I not understand it?"

Si Muyan nodded approvingly. Her younger sister was growing up so fast, something she had never dared to imagine before.

At least for now, her first capable person has been born.

It cost a hundred coins to repair the porridge cart, which was better than they expected. The younger sister was even more proud of herself, thinking that she had earned more than two taels of silver this time, which was really amazing.

She handed the silver to Si Muyan: "Big sister, here you go."

Si Muyan took the silver and put it away, then said calmly, "I thought you were going to manage the money yourself."

The younger sister scratched her head and said, "Although I am smart, I am still not as thoughtful as you in many aspects. It is more appropriate to let you manage the money."

After all, her eldest sister wasn't stingy anymore—she knew she'd been stingy before because her family was so poor. She had pocket money now, so even if it wasn't much, she was content.

Because she believes that under the leadership of her eldest sister, the Si family will get better and better!

After returning home, my younger brother was overjoyed and told his family what happened today.

The younger sister sat beside him with a smile, reminding him from time to time and highlighting his own contribution.

Aunt Jin and Mrs. Zhu were both very considerate and praised my younger sister for her ability and strength, which made her even happier.

Not long after, Si Xingzhi came back with a group of little kids, reciting the Three Character Classic.

The younger brother immediately rushed out and described what happened today in vivid detail. The children were even more enthusiastic and kept asking questions and exclaiming in amazement.

My younger sister and brother were so proud, like heroes.

As for Si Muyan, she is not a real fifteen-year-old girl, so naturally she does not have those vain thoughts.

She went into the house to check on her second sister and Xiaoxia, then went to the back to feed the chickens and ducks. Normally, when she came back at this time, she would help Aunt Jin cook and then go to bed after dinner.

But today, for some reason, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She went back to her room, fell on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

I fell asleep and didn't wake up for a long time.

During lunch, the younger brother came over but didn't wake her up, so the younger sister came over to check and found that the elder sister had a high fever.

The two were startled and hurried to call a doctor.

After the examination, the doctor said, "She has a fever because she's too tired. I'll prescribe a prescription for her to take. Please don't keep her so busy these few days."

The younger brother started crying when he heard this: "Big sister is really too busy. She has to get up in the middle of the night to make porridge, and she has to work all morning. She can only take a short nap in the afternoon. From now on, why don't I take turns making porridge with big sister?"

The younger sister glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I told you long ago that you are still growing up and can't stay up late."

"You are only four years older than me."

"We're four years older, so we're the older sisters!" said the younger sister. "Let the older sister have a good rest these few days. Dad, you can go to the street with us to sell porridge. Since the grain has been harvested, let Aunt Jin and Mrs. Zhu take care of the household affairs."

When the eldest sister fell ill, the younger sister took the responsibility of housekeeping on her own initiative, and everyone supported her without hesitation.

Even the second sister, wrapped up thickly, came to see the eldest sister and said to the youngest sister, "I am much better now. There are many things I can do."

The younger sister said, "My elder sister said that health is the capital of revolution. You are still in confinement, so take good care of yourself. There are only a few days left. When you are out of confinement, you will be busy."

This body is the capital of revolution, as my elder sister often said.

But my family members didn’t quite understand what this meant. What was the revolution about?

They don’t understand, but they are willing to listen to their elder sister.

The medicine prescribed by the barefoot doctor seemed to be of no use. My elder sister's fever lasted for three days before it was barely relieved, but her spirits were still not good, as if she would fall down with a single blow.

It made everyone in the family very anxious.

In addition, my younger sister has a bad temper. She has had several arguments with Aunt Jin and her younger brother Si Xingzhi. Everyone was very angry, and she was also very angry.

The younger sister sat beside Si Muyan's bed, watching her fall asleep, and then whispered, "Big sister, after I became the housekeeper, I realized how difficult your life was. Everyone in the family was a worry. I couldn't stand anything, but I couldn't handle it all by myself...Big sister, it was really hard for me."

These words came from the heart. I deeply understood why my elder sister was so irritable in the past.

Our home back then was not as good as it is now.

Aunt Jin is diligent but stubborn. She is afraid that if her eldest sister falls ill, the family income will be cut off. So she only provides meat to her eldest and second sisters every day. Only after she has argued for her rights can they eat white rice.

Dad is so stupid. He can't count the money, always spills the porridge, and can't even wash the dishes. It really makes her so angry...
