"I'm considering it."

"I'm telling you, if you want to run a small business, you have to be able to complete it on your own. Your parents don't have time, and your sister is on leave at home, not to help you. She's been so busy lately that she hasn't had time to read, but you've been free to bask in the sun and take a nap."

Zhou Yu nodded, "It must be a small business that I can do myself. After I start my business, I won't have to take turns doing housework, right?"

Mother Zhou stared into her eyes, causing her to lower her head. "Well, you don't have to do housework, but where will you get the capital to start a business?"

"I... Mom, lend me some."

"Yes, but you have to pay it back. You're running a business to avoid housework. I don't have the money for you to squander. All the spare money in the house comes from your sister, and you're pushing all the housework onto her and squandering her money. It doesn't make sense."

Father Zhou glared at him. "Just stay home and do your job. What are you thinking of? You're lazy and stupid, and you're trying to do business. You're selling yourself out! Unless you have the capital, I won't care about your business. Any spare money in the family has nothing to do with you. And if you dare to sell watches for capital, I'll sell you out."

Zhou Yu lowered his head to eat and didn't dare to speak.

Father Zhou still felt that what he said was not enough. "Forget it this time, but next time you make excuses to avoid housework, I will do it every three days. Your sister will do one day, and you will do two days. There will be no punishment, but I can't stop your laziness!"

Zhou Xiang felt sorry for his second sister for a second. Although his parents didn't have great abilities, they had been through life together since they were young. Everyone could see the little thoughts of his second sister.

At night, Zhou Yu still didn't give up.

"Sister, what kind of business are you in? You made so much money all of a sudden! The big things we bought for the house cost at least two thousand yuan, and you spend money so freely, you must have quite a bit of money left."

"Me! I run errands for people, they assign me things, I stay up all night sorting things, and then I deliver them at four or five o'clock. I have to put on a smile and make people want to buy my goods. Do you want to go? I'll introduce you!"

"No, I won't go. Not only will I have to put on a smile, but I can't handle being kept awake in the middle of the night. Nothing is more important than sleeping."

In the space, Zhou wanted to tinker with things again. He didn't dare to tinker with the watermelon, for fear that it would become ripe. Then he tinkered with the fruits and piled them in another place.

Fruit: Can I refuse?

Looking at the dark sky outside the space, well, after using up my thoughts, the recovery time is getting faster.

He took the newly distributed book and started reading. Seeing that it was almost time outside, Zhou thought of using the space to call his second sister to get up and cook.

Looking at Zhou Yu who got up as soon as she was called, she said, "Second sister, I haven't even picked up the coal yet!"

"Hmph! If you keep roasting me, my back will be cooked. You love to see me screaming from the burns every day. Do you think I don't know? I don't support your bad taste! Hmph!"

Zhou Xiang looked at his second sister walking out with her chin raised and the urine bucket in her hand. Huh? She's become smarter!

It’s not fun, so I won’t do it. Forget it.

After breakfast, Zhou Xiang took out the round stick again and said, "Let's go, second sister, go and bring back the quilt."

"No, there's no quilt for me in there."

"Huh? I thought you were getting smarter! You're still so stupid! If you don't carry it, and I carry it alone, Dad will know immediately. There will be so many people on the street gossiping and spreading the news. His mattress is in there, and he's waiting for it to come back so he can sleep on his new kang! You're challenging authority!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhou Xiang was walking in front with a round stick in his hand, looking very proud. Could he beat me?

Zhou Yu, who came back carrying the quilt stuffing, found out that he had been cheated. The place where the quilt stuffing was made was very remote and he could hardly meet any people. Moreover, it was a gathering today. Looking at Zhou Xiang in front of him, Zhou Yu slowly moved the rope that tied the quilt stuffing forward.

Zhou Xiang felt it was getting heavier. He turned around and saw Zhou Yu's movements, narrowing his eyes. "If you don't pull the quilt back, what if I can't lift it and it falls to the ground? It rained yesterday, so it's still wet! Tell me, will your parents beat you up?"

Zhou Yu glared at Zhou Xiang angrily. Zhou Xiang pretended to throw away the stick because he couldn't lift it. Zhou Yu helplessly pulled the rope of the quilt towards himself.

"Don't pout, you're my second sister, so I'm just trying to scare you verbally. If it were Zhou Ying and the others, I would definitely not be able to lift myself up and would have to sit on the ground."

Zhou Yu felt a little better when he thought of the three Zhou Ying sisters who were punished to kneel in the snow.

He forced his second sister to pull the quilt lining and cover for him, and then forced her to sew the quilt.

"Won't!"

"Well, I have the right to do it. If you don't learn, I'll have Mom wash all the quilts for you. The excuse is, 'Second sister is already eighteen and still can't sew a quilt.' So that you don't lose face when you get married, Mom will wash the quilt once every two weeks."

Zhou Yu was extremely angry, "Can't you just stop bullying me?"

"Can't you just stop being lazy? I don't ask you to do this every day, so why can't I do it once in a while? Now that your parents know you took the initiative to sew the quilt, how can they not praise you?

Forget about being stupid, I've already told you that since something must be done, doing it on your own initiative and doing it after being scolded are two completely different things."

Zhou Yu pouted as she sewed the quilt. Zhou Xiang shook his head helplessly. It was too difficult to teach her. She had to be scolded and forced to do anything.

First, I sewed my parents' mattress and laid it out, then moved all the quilts on the bed in the main room over, dismantled the bed, and moved them to my old bed in the south room.

"Why move it here? Can't you just throw it against the wall over there?"

"Second sister, I told you, you have to remember that the main room is where Dad entertains guests, so it must be kept clean and tidy. If you don't move it out, he will definitely glare at you when he comes back.

Do you think that after sleeping in the main hall for more than ten days, he no longer cares about the tidiness of the main hall? That is because it is the first month of the lunar year. After the first month of the lunar year, he will bring people home to drink and eat every market day.

If it were another time, he would probably rather not build a kang and keep his guest room spacious, bright, clean and tidy, understand?"

"Why does Dad always bring other people home for drinks and dinner?"

"I haven't asked, and I don't dare ask. But I guess he's just trying to save face, showing off his sense of superiority as a county town person in front of the people in the towns and villages. Unfortunately, people laugh at him behind his back, but he doesn't realize it."

He kept putting delicious food into other people's bowls and urging them to eat more, but he himself could only satisfy his craving by smelling the food.

Seeing that my sister's tone had become low and her mood had become bad, I didn't dare to ask any more questions. If my sister got stubborn, it would be scary!

Zhou Xiang shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, and took a few deep breaths. He couldn't think about his past life. Thinking about his past life would make him full of resentment. The past life was gone, and he was now living in this life.

Zhou Yu felt that the atmosphere around him was becoming more and more oppressive. After a long time, the air around him finally relaxed. He took a few deep breaths and finally came back to life.
