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

"..."

Si Muyan was speechless, but she also remembered that the original owner was too busy and too tired before, and she was worried about the family's livelihood alone.

And she was just a little girl after all - come to think of it, the original owner was only fifteen years old in the summer, which would still be a junior high school student in modern times.

It's really hard for her to pretend to be an adult.

But Si Muyan is not a little girl. As the owner of a chain restaurant in her thirties, managing such a large company is no problem for her, let alone the people in the Si family.

Moreover, these people are simple-minded and very honest, and they are also blessed with family affection.

Sincerity is the greatest killer move.

Si Muyan looked at her younger brother with a guilty look on her face and said, "Little brother, I was wrong in the past. I was too harsh on you and never really listened to your ideas. Not only you, but I also never really listened to the opinions of my family. I was too stubborn. It's only because of our whole family's efforts recently that I realized that you are all very outstanding!"

The younger brother stared at the elder sister blankly, and everyone else was looking at her, with a look of emotion on everyone's face.

Si Muyan patted his younger brother's head: "Little brother, whether what happened today is right or wrong, I want to hear your story. We are all ordinary people. Since we are human, we will make mistakes. As long as we have the courage to admit it and correct it, we are still good people, right?"

"Yes." It was the younger sister who spoke. "Maybe I was wrong, but why should I pay so much money in compensation? And they humiliated me like that. It's really too much!"

I couldn't hold it back any longer, and my eyes turned red when I heard what my elder sister said.

He wiped his tears vigorously: "Sister, I don't accept it, because I didn't push Zhang Sihu at all, it was Song Dazhuang who pushed him!"

"Huh?" The younger sister was shocked and asked, "You didn't push him, why didn't you tell me before?"

After asking this question, the younger sister paused for a moment before realizing that it wasn't that the younger brother didn't want to say anything, but that she had never heard his explanation from the beginning to the end.

Not only my younger sister, but also Aunt Jin and Si Xingzhi all lowered their heads in shame. When they learned that my younger brother had pushed Zhang Sihu, they had never suspected it.

One reason was that the younger brother used to often fight with his friends in the village, and also because, apart from Zhang Sihu, other children in the village also pointed out that it was the younger brother who pushed Zhang Sihu.

But looking at my younger brother's expression now, it's impossible for him to lie.

The second sister was the most stubborn. She said angrily, "Dad, let's go find Song Dazhuang now!"

Si Xingzhi said hurriedly: "If anyone has to go, it can't be you, Second Sister, you haven't even finished your confinement yet."

The second sister will be out of confinement in a few days. Because of the eldest sister's illness, the family is very busy these days. She will come out to help from time to time and do some light work.

"Second sister, have a good rest. Aunt Jin, you take care of the eldest sister." The younger sister immediately made arrangements and pulled the younger brother and said, "Little brother, come on, Dad and I will take you to find Song Dazhuang and ask him why he wronged you!"

But the younger brother hesitated and did not stand up.

The most common surname in Songji Village is Song, but there are also other surnames, such as Zhang Mazi's family and Aunt Wang's family across the street. They are all mixed surnames, and there are more than one or two of them. As for the Si family, it is the only one in the entire Songji Village.

Song Dazhuang was a child of the Song family. His father was a carpenter and worked in the county town, earning a small monthly salary. His mother died young, and his stepmother, Aunt Song, was an honest woman who had given birth to two sons and two daughters, all of whom were still young.

Logically speaking, Da Zhuang's father and Aunt Song are not unreasonable people, but Song Da Zhuang was not raised by them.

Dazhuang Dad

When he remarried, Dazhuang's grandmother loved her grandson dearly and protected him in every way, not allowing Dazhuang's father to teach him a lesson. Later, when Aunt Song gave birth to her own child, Dazhuang's grandmother felt bad about her stepmother all the time, and was worried that her daughter-in-law would treat her grandson badly, so she simply separated Dazhuang's father and his wife and the newborn child.

Song Dazhuang lived with the old couple, so his father had no more control over him.

Grandpa Dazhuang had a relatively high seniority in the clan and was quite prestigious. Over time, Song Dazhuang became the king of children in the Song family, and later the king of children in the entire Songji Village.

The four boys in the Zhang family, the oldest is thirteen years old, and the youngest, Zhang Sihu, is seven years old. They are all Song Dazhuang's followers.

The younger sister called out, "Little brother?"

"Wait a minute." Si Muyan shook her head. "We're not going to Song Dazhuang's house. The one who has a dispute with me is Zhang Sihu."

The younger sister didn't understand: "But it was Song Dazhuang who wronged me."

"That's their business. Now it's the Zhang family who's looking for trouble with us. Of course we have to go to the Zhang family to sever ties with them." Si Muyan said calmly, "Come on, little brother. I'll go with you. There's no need to drag this matter out. We should resolve it as soon as possible."

Originally, the family didn't want Si Muyan to go, but Si Muyan insisted on doing so, so the younger sister had to run in and get more clothes to put on her elder sister.

It was dark now and almost time to go to bed, so most people had lights on in their homes.

Si Xingzhi took the lead with a lantern, Si Muyan held his younger brother's hand, his younger sister supported her, and Aunt Jin followed behind also holding a lantern.

The noise was quite loud, so some people started to look over.

"Isn't this the Master of the Si Family? Now that your son is back, why don't you rest early? Where are you going?"

When the villagers saw Si Xingzhi, they would always call him "Master Si". But it was not a sign of respect, but rather a mocking one. However, after the busy farming season, Si Xingzhi's relationship with everyone improved a lot, and the word "Master" became more of a teasing word.

Si Xingzhi was still a little embarrassed and did not answer.

Instead, Si Muyan said loudly, "My brother has been wronged and was blackmailed by Aunt Zhang. We are going to seek justice for my brother."

Today, everyone knew about Mrs. Zhang forcing the younger sister of the Si family to pay twenty taels of silver. At the time, when Mrs. Zhang said that, everyone thought it was no problem. Later, thinking about it carefully, they felt that Mrs. Zhang really dared to speak up. She was bullying the younger sister of the Si family because she was young and timid.

Now that they heard that they were going to seek justice, everyone was extremely curious and packed up and came out to join in the fun.

Someone else greeted Si Muyan enthusiastically: "Yan girl, I heard that you were seriously ill these days. Are you better now?"

Si Muyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm much better now."

The old lady hurriedly said, "Even if you're well, don't run around. You still need to take good care of yourself so that you don't develop any underlying illness."

"I know, but my brother was bullied when he was young, so I naturally couldn't just ignore it."

The old lady shook her head, thinking that Si Muyan was young and hot-tempered, and that fighting between children was common. Of course, the Zhang family was also wrong, asking for too much silver, and it was reasonable to give them a reasonable amount.
