Shi Dujuan's expression brightened up a bit. "What are you still standing there for? Come and cook with me!"
Tian Xiaohua quickly put down her things and followed Shi Dujuan to cook.
The Tian family is very poor, mainly because Tian Xiaohua's father has been dead for more than ten years.
How can a family be prosperous without a man to support it?
Life was not easy for Tian Xiaohua and her two siblings. None of the four children had much education, and Tian Xiaohua had never been to school since childhood.
The family is poor, and Tian Xiaohua has to use the money she earns to help her brother get married. The Tian family eats potatoes and sweet potatoes every day, nothing new.
Tian Xiaohua's elder brother Tian Dali came back at some point and started complaining as soon as he arrived.
"It's potatoes again! I'm getting sick of eating them every day!"
He kicked the potatoes on the ground impatiently and said, "You only eat this. When will you be able to marry a wife? Even if someone follows me, they will be scared away if they see me eating this at home!"
When Tian Xiaohua saw that the food for the next two days in her home had been trampled upon, she opened her mouth to speak, but Shi Dujuan quickly clapped her hands and went to coax Tian Dali with a smile before her.
"Son, we have saved enough money. Let's find a matchmaker to find us a beautiful wife!"
Tian Dali is already 25 years old, but even at this age he still needs Shi Dujuan to coax and persuade him.
After cooking, the family of five had dinner.
Tian Xiaohua's second brother Tian Dafu is also a fussy person. He picks at the food and then says that Tian Xiaohua is useless.
Tian Xiaohua has gotten used to it and dares not to refute, shrinking her neck.
Her mother taught her from a young age that she was a girl and she should be grateful that her family raised her.
Her father died early, and her three older brothers had to marry and have sons. As a younger sister, she had to help them. This was her responsibility.
After listening to this kind of education for so long, Tian Xiaohua herself became numb.
After dinner, Tian Xiaohua moved a small stool and sat under the lamp to recite ancient poems.
There is only one light in the house, and it's a light bulb.
Reading under this kind of light late at night is particularly harmful to the eyes.
Tian Xiaohua took a quick look at the ancient poem, then closed her eyes and began to recite it silently.
A man suddenly rushed over and pushed Tian Xiaohua hard.
Tian Xiaohua was weak and could not withstand such a push, so she fell to the ground.
She opened her eyes and saw that it was her third brother Tian Dagui. She said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Tian Dagui is not tall and his skin is exactly the same as Tian Xiaohua's, equally dark.
He glared at Tian Xiaohua, pointed at her nose and cursed: "You money-losing bastard, how dare you eat good food outside? I'll beat you to death!"
After saying that, he slapped Tian Xiaohua directly.
Tian Xiaohua felt extremely aggrieved. She curled herself up into a ball, her nose red, and dared not resist.
If she dared to resist, her brother would definitely complain to the eldest brother, the second brother, and mother, and then the eldest brother, the second brother, and mother would beat her together...
Tian Dagui didn't want to hide anything. The room was so small, and he was howling so loudly that it was hard for the other three people not to hear him.
Shi Dujuan came over with her two sons and started yelling when she saw her younger son beating her younger daughter.
"What's going on?"
Before Tian Xiaohua could say anything, Tian Dagui started complaining: "Mom, how dare Tian Xiaohua, a money-loser, drink good wine outside!"
"What?!"
The looks of the mother and her two children immediately became unfriendly.
Tian Xiaohua sniffed, trembling with fear, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't..."
"No?" Tian Dagui sneered and took out the things he had looted.
