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

After all this busy work, Si Muyan realized that he had several cold sweats on his back and his clothes were all soaked with sweat.

After all, it is a soul traveling across time and space. Although her appearance is the same as her in modern times, her body is not the same.

The original owner was exiled at the age of seven. Although he was taken care of by his eldest brother in the first few years, his family was not too bad. However, his diet was not as good as modern ones, so his health was naturally not as good as modern ones.

Moreover, a cold at this time is no minor ailment; if not treated properly, it can be fatal. Even if repeated colds don't kill you, they can still leave sequelae.

Si Muyan has only been here for a short time. She has finally been able to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. She doesn't want to die like this.

The younger sister was the first to notice Si Muyan's abnormality and quickly came over to help her sit down: "Sister, are you okay? Let me get a doctor to check you out."

Si Muyan waved her hand: "It's okay, the fever has subsided, I just sweated from worrying about it."

The younger sister was even more worried: "I was sweating and just went out in the fresh air. It won't be good to treat my cough later. Come on, big sister, I'll go in with you to change clothes."

It took a lot of effort for her elder sister to recover. If she fell ill again, it would be a real problem. She also heard that if a cough is not cured for a long time, it can easily turn into tuberculosis. Even wealthy families cannot cure tuberculosis, let alone their current conditions.

When Si Muyan changed her clothes and came out, the ginger soup was ready.

The younger sister immediately blew on the ginger soup again, and when it was no longer hot, she brought it to Si Muyan: "Big sister, drink it while it's hot. I'll make some medicine for you later. After drinking it for two days, you will definitely get better."

Si Muyan didn't dislike ginger that much, but she certainly didn't like it very much. The ginger in the preserved egg porridge was just for seasoning. But now, the ginger soup made by Aunt Jin was full of ginger, and the spicy flavor was overwhelming.

For the sake of your health, be patient.

After drinking the ginger soup, the younger sister said, "Sister, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the house during the few days you were sick, and I actually let my younger brother do such a thing."

"I have something to ask you." Si Muyan asked her younger sister to sit down.

My younger sister was very nervous.

Because Si Xingzhi was accompanying his younger brother, Aunt Jin and Mrs. Zhu looked at Si Muyan uneasily, a little afraid that she would be angry.

Even the second sister came out and stood beside the youngest sister and said, "Big sister, actually, these past few days, I've been busy at home and outside, and it's not easy..."

Si Muyan waved her hands, knowing their worries, but she had no intention of asking about her younger brother, she just said.

"How's the business at the morning market these days?"

The younger sister was stunned. Isn’t the most important thing now?

But she still answered honestly, "These past few days, it's been me, Dad, and my younger brother who've been busy. But there are quite a few porridge stalls at the morning market. I even checked, and there are two porridge shops on two streets in the county town. Our business has been affected a little, but it's not too bad. It rained the day before yesterday, and I still made about two hundred coins."

Si Muyan said: "Two hundred coins is not a small amount for us, so why don't you buy some meat?"

"what?"

Si Muyan frowned in disapproval. "I've said before that for a family as big as ours, we need to eat a pound of meat every day, preferably two pounds, and each person should have an egg. You've been buying vegetables with me for so long, don't you know this? Why is it that when I'm sick, our family doesn't even eat meat anymore?"

My little sister is stuck.

Aunt Jin felt bad and said quickly, "Miss, this is not Miss Three's fault. I think it's too wasteful, so..."

It’s okay for my younger sister to buy the vegetables, but it’s Aunt Jin who cooks. My younger sister bought the meat, but Aunt Jin didn’t cook it, so there’s nothing she can do about it.

Si Muyan frowned: "Aunt Jin, I've already told you that the old and young in the family are all sick, how can we survive without nutrition?"

Aunt Jin spoke confidently in front of the younger sister, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of the eldest sister, for fear that the eldest sister would get angry and hurt her health, so she quickly apologized.

"Miss, it's all my fault..."

Si Muyan stopped looking at her and only looked at her younger sister: "I know you are the one who cooks, but why am I asking you and not Aunt Jin? Do you understand?"

My younger sister is smart and she understood it very well. The grievance in her heart disappeared immediately.

The eldest sister asked her, it was because she trusted her and felt that she could stand on her own and take care of everyone in the family.

But she disappointed her elder sister.

No, the elder sister was not disappointed, she was teaching her.

The younger sister nodded seriously: "Big sister, I understand. This kind of thing will never happen again... No, there is no future. Big sister must be healthy."

Seeing her like this, Si Muyan stopped dwelling on the matter and simply said, "The last thing a head of a household should do is complain. No matter what happens, we should find a way to solve it. If I'm not around in the future, you should also know how to handle it."

The younger sister said, "What are you talking about, elder sister? How could you not be here?"

Aunt Jin thought more deeply. The young ladies had all grown up and were about to marry. How could they still care about their parents' families? The eldest lady's teaching of the third lady was truly well-intentioned.

"What if our business grows bigger? We open a shop, the first one, the second one, and even more. There are so many things that I can't handle them all by myself. You, Aunt Jin, Second Sister, even Dad, Little Brother, and Mrs. Zhu, all have to learn how to handle things."

Everyone in the room widened their eyes.

Do they want both?

Don’t they just have to obey and do their job?

But what my eldest sister said was so tempting. She said that her family would open many shops in the future!

At this time, Si Xingzhi came out with his younger brothers.

Si Muyan said, "Aunt Jin, let Dad and my younger brother drink the ginger soup first."

The two of them drank, and Si Muyan asked his younger brother to sit next to him before asking.

"Tell me, little brother, what happened?"

The younger brother hesitated, but looked up at the third sister and did not dare to speak.

The younger sister quickly said, "Sister, it's just as we told you before. I pushed Zhang Sihu down the hillside and broke his leg. Now Aunt Zhang wants us to pay 20 taels of silver as compensation!"

The younger brother opened his mouth, as if wanting to refute, but closed it awkwardly.

The second sister was shocked: "How much? Twenty taels? Why didn't the Zhang family go and rob him? How badly did Zhang Sihu fall? What did the doctor say?"

The younger sister sighed, "I think it's too much. I originally thought of asking a doctor to check it out, set the bones, and compensate her, which would only cost about a hundred or two hundred copper coins. But she insisted that we should pay her back because we earned the money..."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. They had worked hard to earn the money, so why should they give it to the Zhang family?

I also felt that my younger brother was really annoying and had not made any progress at all.

Si Muyan still looked at his younger brother and said, "We are a family. If something happens, we should face it together. Besides, I have grown up and become a man. How can I back down when encountering something? I won't listen to what they say. Tell me, younger brother, what happened?"

The younger brother looked up in surprise, looked at Si Muyan and asked, "Big sister, you...you won't hit me? You won't even scold me?"
