After a short period of treatment, Wang Shi had completely recovered her spirit. Before this, there would still be some time where he wouldn't be able to clear his head. Now, everything was completely fine.
However, after so many years, her body had already been damaged by the long term overwork, so she still needed some more time to recuperate.
In order to help her take advantage of her mother's health, Tian Yuqiao decided to not let her do anything. This caused the busy Wang Shi to feel uncomfortable.
He was used to being squeezed, but now that he was free, he actually felt like he didn't know where to put his arms and legs.
Everyone slept soundly that night, but it was difficult to fall asleep in the big house next door.
There were three rooms in the Tian family's mansion. The old couple lived in the east house and the old man lived in the west house. Tian Guihua lived in the west house. The top floor was made of clay bricks and the roof of the house was made of tile. Although the tile had turned black, it was still fairly solid.
There were four rooms in each of the east and west wing rooms. All of them were Earth Embryo Rooms. At any rate, they used old tiles on the roofs and four rooms in each room. On the east side, the study man took up one and a half rooms while the other two and a half rooms were occupied by a large family of three.
From this, it could be seen that Fourth Bro's position as the head of the family was such that he alone could occupy a room and a half.
As for the west wing, since his eldest brother's family was going to kiss Taro, old man Tian had given them three rooms, one of which was for Dalang.
The other room in the west wing was used as a warehouse. There were also a few rare farm tools stored inside.
Now, Tian Yuqiao's family lived in a thatched cottage without any roof over it.
The two thatched huts were next to the west wing, which meant that they had one less wall. This dilapidated thatched cottage was not able to keep up with the granary. It was almost the same as the thatched cottage; winter was breezy, and summer was rainy.
Tian Yuqiao slept until midnight. When she noticed that the lights were still burning in the room next door, she became curious, so she quietly put on her clothes and went around to the back.
"I say, your child's father, your useless third brother actually lost five taels of silver in a single go when he was gambling with others. This is enough for a family to spend for a year." "Look at how spring is coming, and how Ol 'Four is going to pay a huge sum of money to repair the house. What do you think our parents are thinking?"
"Hey, what's the use of worrying about it here? "What time is it? If you don't turn off the lights, mom will probably scold us for wasting lamp oil."
There was clear displeasure and sleepiness in the voice of the Tian Clan's boss, Tian Dajiang.
After a while, Lady Gao added, "If you ask me, our mother is just too idle. "This time around, it's really great. She's already separated the second brother's family. Now that more than half of the work has been done by me, it's really unfortunate."
"Hmph, wasn't it all because of you blindly urging them on? Do you know how regretful you are this time?" "In the past, you all bullied your second wife. On the surface, it seems like there isn't a man in her family, and there isn't any manual labor. However, in reality, everyone knows that she does a lot of the household's work."
Gao's eyes widened as he opened his mouth wide and said, "Ah! If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have done it now!" That's what I said, but I still said it in the end. I didn't expect mom to really divide the family. Sigh, in the future, I'll be in trouble. The three old families have always kept quiet, and it will be difficult for mother to find fault with her. "
"Didn't our mother scold her this time?" Don't even think about it, just go to sleep. "
After saying that, the oil lamp was extinguished and there was no more sound of conversation from inside the house. Tian Yuqiao then made a trip to the latrine and returned to his home.
At first, she also thought that the three of them would be supported by the others in the house, but when she finished listening to the words from the main house, she knew that the three of them were eating the same food as the Wang family.
That steamed bun of his must be worried that his entire family would be exposed, so he put his life on the line to work. But in the end, wasn't it still called a money-losing deal?
In this era, if a family member did not have a man supporting them, they would be ostracized by others, even if they were family members.
The next morning, after the crowing of the chickens, the little guy from Yutang quietly got up.
After putting on his clothes, he leaned against the cabinet and waited for Tian Yuqiao to wake up.
The moment Tian Yuqiao opened her eyes, she was met with the bright eyes of the little fellow.
"Little brother, why are you up so early?" Tian Yuqiao yawned and asked.
"Sis, aren't we going up the mountain today? I'm a bit too excited so I can't fall asleep. Hehe."
Only then did Tian Yuqiao remember. He had previously said that he would secretly go to the mountain to refine the lard. No wonder the little guy was so excited.
After dressing quickly, Lady Wang had also woken up. She made some bread for the brother and sister. With the leftover cabbage soup and half of their pig hearts, the family of three finished their breakfast quickly.
"Mom, you should rest at home. Don't ever go out, otherwise we won't be at home. You'll be bullied by them."
"Qiao'er, don't worry. Mom won't go anywhere. I'll make new clothes for all of you at home."
Yutang was still carrying the broken bamboo basket that he always carried on his back when he went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. In the basket was more than four pounds of fat and a small pot that was sent over by his pillar's wife.
This pot was enough for Tian Yuqiao's family. After all, there were very few people in the family. If he used such a big stove every time, it would waste a lot of firewood.
The siblings walked up the mountain arm in arm. At this time, only hardworking families would wake up so early. Most of them had yet to wake up.
After all, the farm work had already passed and everyone was free. There was no need to get up so early.
Halfway up the mountain, Tian Yuqiao saw that the little guy's nose was sweating. She quickly tried to snatch the bamboo basket from his back.
"Sis, I can move my back. Seriously, I ate meat yesterday. I'm full of energy now."
When the little guy saw that Tian Yuqiao wanted to rob him of the bamboo basket on his back, he became somewhat anxious. Now he was the only man in the family, and he was naturally eager for every opportunity to show his manhood.
Tian Yuqiao didn't say anything. He just smiled and continued leading Tian Yutang up the mountain.
Sigh, it's really sad to eat something good at home while sneaking around.
When they reached a mountain ring, Tian Yuqiao felt that it was about time. He found a place with a few rocks and took off all the things behind Tian Yutang.
"Hu!" The little fellow heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, his small face was flushed red.
"Who told you to show off when you're fine? This thing can't be considered heavy, but after all, we've walked so far on the mountain road, don't be so stubborn in the future. " Tian Yuqiao pretended to be angry.
