The Ji family has four siblings: eldest sister Ji Jingyun, second sister Ji Jingyan, third sister Ji Jingwen, and youngest brother Ji Jinglin.

The eldest sister is twenty-three years old. She has a cheerful and generous personality, is smart and capable, and is a master of housework. She is definitely the eldest sister.

In her past life, she married into the next village. Her brother-in-law was a gambler, but he wasn't a bad person; he was just a freeloader.

Therefore, Ji Jingyun's life was not easy. She had to manage both the household and the outside world, farming and raising her child. She finally managed to raise her child to adulthood, and the child was admitted to a prestigious university and settled down in the city.

Although her son was filial and took Jingyun to live in the city, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good. Jingyun could not bear this grievance, so she went back to her hometown to farm without saying a word.

Later, Jingyan died young, and Jingyun became even more resistant to life in the city.

Her resistance made life difficult for her son and daughter-in-law, who constantly blamed each other.

Jingyun's son felt that his mother was only able to live in the city because his wife looked down on her, and because his mother had a strong personality, she couldn't bear the grievances and preferred to return to her hometown rather than let him, her only son, take care of her in her old age. She never went to the city again until she passed away.

However, Jingyun, who is not yet married, is an all-around capable woman in the family!

Jingyun is strikingly beautiful, and her smile is as bright as a sunflower in the yard. She speaks frankly and directly, and it's very comfortable to be around her.

Despite her pretty appearance, Jingyun is more energetic than anyone else when it comes to farm tools. During busy farming seasons, she can be as capable as half a laborer, and her nimble hands and feet are admirable.

Her personality is impeccable; she is warm and sincere to everyone. Everyone in the village praises her as a "capable and cheerful pretty girl."

“Ji Jinglin, you’re home on holiday with a book in your hand. Are you trying to emulate Qian Yisheng? That’s just too pretentious! If you want to work hard, you should be working hard enough at school, right? There’s so much work to do at home, and you’re just sitting there watching everyone else work. Can’t you bear to do that? As if that makes you seem cultured?” Jingyun’s cheerful voice rang out, one sentence after another.

From the Ji family's courtyard came Ji Jingyun's voice scolding her younger brother, and those who passed by her house exchanged knowing smiles.

"Jingyun is talking about Jinglin again. Every time I pass by their house, I can hear Jingyun's voice. If I don't hear it, she must be working in the fields." This is a report on the Ji family's daily life.

"That's right, Jingyun is so capable. She and her father do all the work in the fields. At such a young age, she's already supporting her parents' family." This was full of envy.

As the group passed by the Ji family's house, they chattered amongst themselves.

Thinking about the increasingly prosperous life of the Ji family, some people couldn't help but sigh with envy, "Ah, what can you do when Jingyun is so filial?"

"Yes, the Ji family has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Jingyun is tall and beautiful, and she's also very capable at work. Jingyan got into a university in a big city, and the two younger ones have also been admitted to high school. Maybe there will be two more college students in the future. The Ji family is really doing well now."

Thinking back to how poor the Ji family used to be, compared to now, although they are still poor, there are more people and it's much more lively.

Because Jingyun, now that she's grown up, is very good at interpersonal relationships, the Ji family's popularity in the village has improved.

Then someone sourly recounted the Ji family's past, "The Ji family used to have a hard life, especially Sister-in-law Ji. She gave birth to three girls in a row and was ridiculed by the villagers for a long time. She didn't dare to speak loudly to us. Everyone said that since they only had daughters, their family line would definitely end. But look at Sister-in-law Ji now, she walks with her head held high, and her family is thriving."

Some people also reminded, "Don't be so sour. Now that the Ji family is doing well, you all have to be on their good side. Otherwise, if you ever need help from college students in the future, they won't even give you a second glance."

A group of people strolled past the Ji family's door while talking. Jingwen, who had been squatting behind the door eavesdropping, quickly stood up.

Then she exchanged a glance with Ji's mother next to her. Their eyes conveyed a deep understanding without needing to say a word.

Jingwen pouted helplessly and muttered, "They're talking about my sister again. Honestly, she always greets me and my little brother with a smile and says nice things like they don't need them, but she's a completely different person behind my back."

Seeing her youngest daughter's hopeless state, Mrs. Ji started her usual nagging again: "Were those kind words said to you? They were said to your second sister."

Thinking of her second daughter, Ji's mother was filled with joy and continued to chatter: "Ever since your second sister got into university, who in the village doesn't look up to our family? That's why I told you all to study hard and work hard, so that you three siblings can support your eldest sister in the future."

“Your older sister has worked the hardest in our family, so you should remember her kindness. Our family is supported by your older sister and your father. Your older sister is a girl, but she is more capable than boys. She has worked so hard.”

Ms. Ji gave birth to four children in quick succession, and the frequent births caused her to suffer from many postpartum ailments.

Especially with the last two children, who were only a year apart in age, Ji's mother's health was much worse than before, and she simply couldn't handle the heavy farm work.

As soon as Ji Jingyun walked over, she heard her mother nagging. At first, when she heard this, she would retort with words like, "As the eldest child, it's only right."

She's too lazy to argue now; her mother just repeats the same few things over and over.

"Alright, stop using talking as an excuse to slack off. Mom, your second daughter is coming back soon. Hurry up and help with the chores. Xiaoyan has lived in the city before. If she comes home and sees this messy environment, aren't you afraid she'll be disgusted?"

Jingyun was just joking; there was no sarcasm in her words. These were things that Ji's mother often said at home.

Every time Jingyan comes home, Ji's mother has to clean the house thoroughly, inside and out. Today's deep cleaning was also initiated by Ji's mother.

The women in their family are all very clean, so the cowshed can only be left to Father Ji, while the others are responsible for cleaning the house, yard and kitchen.

Jingyun couldn't help but worry when she mentioned her second sister: "Speaking of Jingyan, she always comes back quite early for the New Year every year. Why is she still not here this year? The New Year is just around the corner. I wonder if Jingyan will come back for the New Year this year."

Ji Jinglin immediately answered her eldest sister's question, her tone very certain: "She will definitely come back! And if my second sister weren't coming back, she would definitely call home to let us know. My second sister hasn't called this year, so she must be on her way home!"

Ji Jinglin gets very excited whenever her second sister is mentioned.

In this family, Ji Jinglin admired his second sister the most, but of course, he was most afraid of his eldest sister, because she could hit people really hard.

As for his third sister, he wasn't afraid at all; the two of them often fought together. Although Jinglin was always the one getting beaten up, he never felt any pressure fighting back.
