Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 154: The Sold Daughter 18

"Yuan Chun, why aren’t you going to gather pigweed? In our village, as long as a kid can run, they must go to the mountain to gather pigweed." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Yuan Chun, are you unwell, always getting sick?"

"The younger brother in Zhaodi’s family is unwell, he sleeps at home every day and doesn’t do any work," said a little girl.

Walking beside her, the thin and frail Tian Zhaodi, with a face full of worry, said, "My mom said my brother was born prematurely, that’s why he’s unwell. The household chores are heavy, my brother can’t do them, it’s all up to us three sisters."

Walking at the back, Tian Laidi sighed, "Zhaodi, since brother can’t do it, we’ll just do more work. Dad and mom have said it, brother is the backbone of the Tian family, he will inherit the family name in the future, we shouldn’t let brother get tired."

A flicker of disdain flashed in Tian Zhaodi’s eyes, but she obediently said, "Big sister, I understand, I will do more work in the future."

"Yuan Chun, hurry up and say, are you sick too?"

A few friends who played well with Qian Zhongxin stared at Yuan Chun with concern.

Qian Xiao San hurriedly defended, "Don’t guess randomly, my sister isn’t sick. My sister does chores at home, she doesn’t need to gather pigweed, my aunt and uncle don’t mind the little work points my sister earns."

The one who played best with Qian Xiao San, Gouzi, quickly agreed, "Yuan Chun is just like my sister, staying at home doing chores, no need to gather pigweed. Mom said doing chores is more tiring than gathering pigweed, so my brother and I always help my sister with work at home."

Qian Xiao San immediately felt distressed, looking at Yuan Chun, "Sister, is doing chores tiring? Why don’t I go to auntie’s house earlier tomorrow and help you, so you don’t have to do it."

Qian Xiao San was convinced that his sister’s sleepiness was certainly because she got up too early to help her aunt with breakfast, and thus felt tired.

Yuan Chun, with a stiff face, refused, "No need, Third Brother, if you have the strength, help Grandma with more work."

"I always tend the fire at home," Qian Xiao San said proudly.

"Grandma said, if a man wants to marry a good wife, he has to be diligent at home and help out with work. If he wants to be a master who doesn’t touch anything, he’ll never find a good wife."

"Auntie, we’re here..." As the group arrived at the pig farm, Qian Xiao’er saw Qian Xiaoying at the pig farm gate from afar.

Qian Xiaoying is the scorekeeper of the production team. In the first two days when Yuan Chun arrived at the Ge family, she didn’t go to work, letting her sister-in-law cover for her.

Qian Xiaoying and her brother and sister-in-law are among the few educated people in the village.

Qian Xiaoying is a middle school graduate, she didn’t pass the high school entrance exam and dropped out.

Her elder brother is a high school graduate, he didn’t get into university despite trying for two years, and then became a math teacher at the village’s primary school, a formal job.

Later, he married a wife who was also a language teacher from the same school.

The school is in the suburbs of Hang City, just two miles away from the village, the couple often brings their three sons back to the village after work, only staying at the school when it’s windy or rainy. Both Uncle Qian and Aunt live in a two-bedroom apartment at the school.

During winter and summer breaks or weekends when the Qian couple don’t have classes, they bring their three sons back to the village to do farming to earn work points, all of which are under Old Man Qian’s name.

The Qian family has two people earning wages, five people eating government grain, and with Old Man Qian as the old hunter, it can be said that the Qian family’s life is the best in the village.

But in the last two years, serious floods in Hang City caused grain shortages, even state workers struggled to buy grain with their ration cards. Were it not for the grain earned by Old Man Qian to supplement his son’s and daughter-in-law’s family, the five of them would be left in dire straits.
