I was so tired after going to the market today.
For lunch, Tian An simply stewed some rice, stir-fried two vegetables, fried a small plate of peanuts, and made some cabbage soup, which barely made up the three dishes and one soup.
During the mourning period, meat is not allowed, and even eggs are considered a non-vegetarian dish. There are also few vegetables in this season, so we can only make do with this.
After the mourning period is over, she must eat meat with every meal to nourish her frail body.
Tian An felt that the simple but comfortable meal was satisfying and she ate happily. After all, before, they could not even have white rice or fried peanuts; just being able to eat enough was a luxury.
Sometimes, people are easily satisfied. But some people just can't be satisfied no matter what.
…Bang, bang, bang…Bang, bang, bang…
Who is it?
…Bang, bang, bang…Bang, bang, bang…
They had just finished eating and hadn't even had time to put away their dishes when someone knocked on the door. Tian An had no choice but to tell Xiao Kang to put the dishes in the kitchen and wash them later. She went to open the door first.
When the door opened, I saw a girl about thirteen or fourteen standing at the door, with her arms folded across her chest and a look of impatience on her face.
Tian An looked at her, and after a while he remembered that this was Li Chunmei, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, who had bullied the original owner a lot in the past. Then he looked at her clothes. Wasn't that her from behind the back he saw this morning?
It turns out that he went there in the morning to scout and keep an eye on her!
Li Chunmei impatiently stretched out a hand in front of Tian An, hooked her finger and said, "Give it to me."
Tian An looked at her in bewilderment. What the hell, is this girl stupid?
Seeing Tian An in a daze, she withdrew her hands, put her hands on her hips and said, "Silly girl, I advise you to be smart and hand it over quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble."
Tian An was shocked when he heard this. Oh, this little girl really inherited the Qian family's teachings! The tone and style are exactly the same. But what do you want me to take? Just tell me! Forget it, who has time to care about you.
Tian An rolled his eyes at her, turned around, went back to the house and closed the door. Li Chunmei tried to reach out to grab her, but her hand was almost pinched.
She cursed for a long time at the door, and when she saw that Tian An didn't open the door for her, she left.
…………
Tian An had just finished washing the dishes, cleaning up the kitchen, and was about to take a break.
…Bang, bang, bang…Bang, bang, bang…
Oh my god, this can't be Li Chunmei again! The busy farming season is coming soon, does the Li family have nothing to do?
Tian An walked to the gate and opened it. A girl about twelve or thirteen years old with twin buns and slightly dark skin appeared at the door.
Humph! Now that the older one is gone, here comes the younger one? Qian's second daughter, Li Qiuju, isn't as arrogant as Li Chunmei, but her words are still just as annoying.
"Mom said that grandma is sick and asked you to bring money for her treatment. Please hurry up and don't waste my time. I have to hurry back!"
Tian An laughed, "You still know how to waste time!" It seems that Qian Shi hasn't learned her lesson yet. She thinks she is still the same as before, letting these two bastards come and take her money.
"Do you know your last name?"
When Li Qiuju heard this, she said without hesitation, "Do you want to be beaten? You even forgot my last name is Li?"
"Then do you know my last name?" Tian An asked again.
"Tian An, are you mentally ill?" Li Qiuju looked incredulous, wondering if Tian An was stupid.
"It seems you know everything! That makes it easy. Your surname is Li and mine is Tian. Your Li family's grandmother is sick, so why should you use my Tian family's money for treatment?"
Li Qiuju's brain wasn't very bright on a daily basis, so she was completely confused by such a simple sentence. She was gesturing here and there with her fingers.
Tian An shook his head, closed the door, and went to rest for a while. He still had to pick seeds later.
…………
Tian An drank a bowl of sweet water leisurely and stretched comfortably. After a long rest, it was time to go back to work...
Before Tian An could pull his hand back, he heard... a bang...
Tian An turned around and saw that her courtyard gate had fallen to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Tian An, you damned girl, get out here!" Qian walked into the yard and shouted at the top of her voice.
Li Chunmei and Li Qiuju, who were following beside her, stood on Qian's left and right with their hands on their hips, like two generals. Their expressions were as smug as they could be.
Li Dazhu followed him in, found a stone in the yard and sat on it.
The younger brother in the room heard the noise and was about to run out, but was stopped by Tian An: Go back quickly, stay in the room and don't come out.
The little guy didn't listen and was about to run out, but seemed to be pulled back by someone.
Tian An took the broom beside him and walked up to Qian, placed the broom on the ground, and placed his hands on it.
"Aunt Qian, I don't know what brings you to my house so late in the afternoon. You're really making a big fuss. But please remember to pay for my entrance fee when you leave."
Qian spat on the ground.
"Bah, you still want me to pay for the door? Be careful or I will tear down your broken house."
Tian An glanced at the ground. Can't you be a little more hygienic? You don't find it disgusting, but I do! Do you have any manners?
Seeing that Tian An didn't say anything, Qian thought she was scared.
"Hurry up and take out the silver and hand over the grain, so you can suffer less. Otherwise, don't blame me for exterminating your Tian family."
Humph, they still dare to be so arrogant even after being expelled from the clan. This Qian family really has a pig brain and is so stupid.
"Aunt Qian, this is an open robbery. You should think about the consequences."
"Hmph! I've inquired, the village chief is not in the village today, and no one can protect you. I advise you to be sensible so that I can save myself some trouble."
