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

Si Muyan was also a little worried. She had read novels in modern times. People who traveled to ancient times were very capable. They could easily get money to do business, and then their business grew bigger and bigger.

A business can be popular from the beginning.

Why is it so hard for her? Pumpkin pancakes, porridge, although she made some money, it wasn't much.

Si Muyan also searched in the recipes on the system interface, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a more suitable way.

Bald head.

Forget it, this might be her fate, she can only take it one step at a time.

Si Muyan said, "The weather is nice today. After we finish selling the porridge, I'll go home first. I'll go with my sister to pay back the money we owed you."

It means that Si Xingzhi owed three taels of silver, two of which were borrowed by my younger sister from her "friends".

We agreed at that time that we would pay it back before the Chinese New Year.

The younger sister was puzzled: "Big sister, it's still early, there's no need to return it so early."

"It's the same whether I pay it back early or late. I won't feel as much pressure if I pay it back early. I'll buy some eggs and brown sugar later and give some to each family."

The younger sister nodded, and after a long while she said, "Sister, once the money is paid back, I won't have anything to do with them anymore."

Si Muyan smiled and said, "Now that you've grown up, you should be more aware of the importance of making friends. In fact, there are bonds between people. Without bonds, it's impossible to get along for a long time. For example, the bond between us is family. What is the bond between you and others, and why do you get along with them? Is there anything good in the world that happens without a reason?"

These words are just the beginning. My younger sister is smart, and there is no need for her to explain many things in detail.

She was just worried that her younger sister, who used to be snobbish and loved the rich, knew at a young age that she was pretty and used this to seduce men. If she wasn't guided, it was hard to say whether she wouldn't use her beauty to do something shameless in the future.

It is easy for a beautiful woman to fall into depravity.

But now my younger sister knows how to use hard work and wisdom to get what she wants, and she probably won’t go down that path.

Because Si Muyan went with her younger sister, and they brought gifts with them, they did not encounter any difficulties and the IOUs were returned to them very readily.

Only the Queen Mother looked at the younger sister with her eyes tilted, snorted, went into the inner room and came out again, opening a small cloth bag layer by layer before taking out the IOU with the younger sister's fingerprints.

My younger sister was so angry that she thought to herself, this woman is so shameless. She hid the IOU so well. Is she afraid that I won’t pay it back?

But Si Muyan said nothing and handed over a tael of silver: "Thank you, Aunt Wang."

The Queen Mother snorted again, "My son borrowed that little money before, so I don't want it anymore. But please be mindful of your status. Don't think that we in the Wang family are willing to accept just anyone."

Si Muyan held back her angry younger sister, took the IOU, and tore it into pieces. She said calmly, "My sister and your son are just casual acquaintances, but it hasn't reached that stage. Aunt Wang, please stop saying things that could lead to misunderstandings. Besides, people say that a blessed girl won't marry an unblessed family. My sister is such an outstanding girl, and only your Wang family... Tsk..."

"What are you saying?" The Queen Mother's eyes widened. "I used to think you were more sensible than your sister, but I didn't expect you to be the same kind of person."

Si Muyan didn't want to waste time with her, so he pulled his younger sister away.

The younger sister was furious: "What kind of person is this? Seriously, big sister, I really wanted to scold her just now, why did you stop me?"

"Scold her? I think it's dirtying our mouths." Si Muyan said with a smile, "Little sister, we still have a lot of things to do. If someone bullies us, we will certainly not be intimidated. But since we took the initiative to break off the relationship today, why should we create more trouble and cause ourselves more trouble?"

The younger sister thought for a moment and said, "Big sister is right."

Si Muyan added, "Besides, it's normal for people to be different. Look at that Aunt Fang before. She was very generous and open-minded. Knowing that we were going to repay the debt, she not only refused to accept the gift, but also gave us two jars of pickled vegetables she made herself. Why don't we think more about such a good person instead of getting angry over that evil woman from the Wang family?"

"Yes." The younger sister smiled. "Brother Fang is also a good man, but his family is not as rich as the Wang family, so the money he can lend me is not much."

"We can earn money on our own now, so we don't have to borrow money from others."

Thinking that she didn't have to ask others for money, the younger sister breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't a pleasant feeling to be so humble that a man felt distressed.

The two of them walked back, and as soon as they arrived at Songji Village, they saw the fourth son of the Zhu family walking back with a bucket.

Knowing that his mother had been at the Si family recently, Zhu Laosi nodded at the two of them, thought about it, and walked over again.

"Yan girl, Wan girl, my mother has been causing you a lot of trouble lately."

I didn’t like Mrs. Zhu before, but after getting along with her for some time, I feel that Mrs. Zhu is not a cruel and evil person.

Therefore, the Zhu brothers were not happy to see the old woman kicked out. They rolled their eyes and said, "What's the trouble? Old woman Zhu is very capable and helps with all the big and small things. People say that having an old person in the family is like a treasure. It's a pity that some people don't know how to cherish her. It's a good thing for us."

Zhu Laosi's face turned pale and red, and he hesitantly handed over the wooden barrel in his hand: "I... I caught two fish, give... give them to you..."

The younger sister still sneered: "No need, save it for your wife to take care of the pregnancy."

Si Muyan did not stop her younger sister. She waited until Zhu Laosi blushed and wanted to leave before she called him back.

"Brother Zhu, there's something I'm afraid you guys still need to take care of."

Zhu Laosi quickly stopped and said, "Yan girl, what's the matter?"

"Mrs. Zhu's thatched cottage is rather shabby, and I'm afraid it won't withstand a storm. It would be even more troublesome if there were heavy snow in winter. I tried to persuade her to come live with the Si family, but she refused. So I thought I'd ask you brothers to repair the cottage when you have time."

Zhu Laosi nodded: "Of course, of course, I will... go and discuss it with Big Brother."

When Si Muyan heard this, her face turned even colder and she turned around and left with her little sister.

The younger sister was also furious. "I thought he'd say it would be fixed in a few days, but he said he wanted to discuss it with his eldest brother. Really... How could Mrs. Zhu raise such an ungrateful person?"

Si Muyan sighed, "He's the youngest in the Zhu family and always listens to his older brothers. I think the second and third sons are good, but the eldest son isn't that great."

Unfortunately, the ancient times were very different from the modern times. In ancient times, even ordinary families emphasized that the eldest brother was the father. Mrs. Zhu's husband passed away early, and the eldest brother Zhu took on the responsibility of raising his younger brothers very early. Naturally, his younger brothers obeyed him very much.

This is also why, when Zhu Lao Da’s wife speaks, none of Zhu’s younger brothers dare to refute.

It’s a pity, don’t they understand that the one who has paid the most for them is their mother, Mrs. Zhu?
