Zhou Yu imagined that his sister was not allowed to eat fish or meat at the dinner table, saw his parents fighting and couldn't stop them, and had endless housework to do. He shuddered and couldn't imagine that his sister was physically tortured.
After pouring the water for washing feet, Zhou Yu lay down in the bed and said, "Go to sleep, don't think about it. Since you feel that your life is going well now, just keep going as it is now!"
Dad doesn't dare to speak in front of grandpa, which means he is afraid of grandpa. Didn't you coax grandpa into submission? You don't have to be afraid of dad anymore.
"I'm not afraid of him anymore. He's just a face-hungry person who wants to eat and drink. If I coax him into submission with food and drink, and then win him face with my grades, he'll be nice and friendly."
Zhou Yu sighed, "I can't study anymore, so I'm relying on you. You have to keep it up and show grandpa and dad that girls can be very capable."
"Yeah! I'll also help you out, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. When you become powerful, I'll go out and tell everyone I'm Sister Zhou Xiang. How proud will that be?"
"Aren't you afraid that others will compare us?"
"Don't worry, I'll just say that all the intelligence in our family is in your head."
"Yes, that's a good reason. Well, you're stupid but you're right!"
"Yes, that's right. We are proud of you. I just need to follow you and take advantage of you."
"Hmph, you're so lazy, you're so lazy, you can't just stick with me, can you?"
"No, my biggest hope is to have endless money to spend and endless meat to eat without me having to do anything, and then everyone will rush to praise me."
"Then can you still find the north?"
"It doesn't matter where north is, as long as I know the sun rises in the east."
Zhou Xiang didn't know when he fell asleep. He only knew that he was chatting with his second sister casually, and then he had no memory.
It was still dark outside. I pushed away the thighs on my body. They were really heavy. Among the four siblings, only my second sister was a little chubby. The other three were all thin.
He got up and started picking up the coals on the stove. After a while, Zhou Yu jumped up without Zhou Xiang shouting, "It's on fire, it's on fire, Fourth girl, put it out!"
Zhou wanted to throw her cotton jacket and trousers over her head, the cool clothes would sober her up.
"Fire? What fire? Are you dozing off? Get up and make breakfast."
Zhou Yu woke up when he was covered with cool clothes. It was not a fire, but the kang was too hot and burned him.
After slowly getting dressed, he got off the kang and said, "Fourth girl, why did you get up so early to heat the kang? It's scalding me."
"Hurry up and fold the quilt and mattress and put them on the kang. If the quilt catches fire, you'll be beaten. Don't you envy your mother's slaps? You'll know how painful it is when it hits you."
"I've noticed that you're getting more and more aggressive with your words. The day before yesterday at Grandpa's place, Zhou Ying and the other two weren't your match."
"Right! Now that you know, don't be lazy. Don't ask me to tell you what to do. If I tell you too much, you might end up like Zhou Ying and the others."
Zhou Yu thought of the scene where Zhou Ying and the other two were kneeling in the snow, not daring to say a word, and decided to forget it. This sister was too strong, unlike her brother who could bully others at will.
He moved quickly, folded the quilt and mattress, moved them to the edge of the kang, and scooped up hot water to wash up.
After taking care of his personal hygiene, he asked his sister what he wanted to do.
Zhou Xiang pointed at the urine bucket under the bed and said, "Have you used it? If you have, go to the back and pour it out. This is the kitchen, you can't leave this stuff in the house. After you pour it out, go to the well and wash it. Find a place where you can't see people and hang it to dry."
Zhou Yu looked at the urine bucket with disdain, "Are you useless?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "It's useless. I don't get up at night."
No wonder, I went into the space, relieved myself in the urine bucket, and came out directly into the quilt, which was so comfortable! I didn't even have to lift the quilt.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to empty the urine bucket, come back retching, and wash his hands again and again.
Seeing Zhou's mother come in, she immediately complained, "Mom, the fourth girl is bullying me. She didn't tell me to get up, and she just heated the kang. It scalded me to death, and she even asked me to empty the urine bucket."
Mother Zhou looked at her little girl who lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders, and knew that she still held a grudge against her sister for bullying her in her previous life.
"Why call her Si Yatou? She sounds like a maid. Just tell her to think about it. Whoever uses the urine bucket should empty it. Then buy another one and let everyone empty their own."
“But it was so disgusting afterwards.”
"It will be fine once your sister gets the bathroom up. Just be patient! Think about it, next time you should wake up your second sister before heating the kang."
"I get up at five o'clock. Okay, if you can't wake me up, I will heat the kang and cook. I can't not cook just because she doesn't get up, right?" Zhou Xiang nodded.
"Mom, she did it on purpose. There's a stove over there, why didn't she light it?" Zhou Yu was still unconvinced.
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother immediately said seriously, "Yu'er, that stove needs to be lit. Are you going to get up and do it? This stove can easily make breakfast by myself by just picking up the coals. Why should my sister have to both light the fire and cook just so you can sleep in comfortably? What kind of logic is that?"
From now on, you and your sister will take turns doing the housework, including sweeping the floor, washing dishes, and doing laundry."
Zhou Yu didn't expect that not only did he fail to complain, but he also got himself into trouble. After all, his mother was not as easy to fool as his grandmother, and his sister was not like his brother who could only protest in silence.
Niannian nodded, "Oh!"
Zhou's mother went out to wash up, and Zhou Xiang continued to cook. When it was time to eat, Zhou Yu sat at the table waiting.
When Zhou's father asked her to serve the meal, she replied, "My mother told me and my sister to take turns cooking. Today she's cooking, and I just need to wait and eat."
Father Zhou glared at him, "Really? Then you cook tomorrow, and I'll just sit here and wait for you to feed me, right?"
Zhou Yu looked at his father with glaring eyes and felt scared. His father was really scary when he got angry.
Seeing her eldest daughter being so good at making trouble, Zhou's mother asked her, "You set all these rules in advance. Tomorrow it's your turn to cook. Will you follow the rules you set today? Or will it be your turn to think about and set the rules tomorrow?"
Zhou Yu shuddered. His sister, that bad girl, had so many ideas! She made the rules. He estimated that he would have to wait until they finished their meal before he could eat.
She immediately went to serve the meal. Zhou Xiang did not refuse and served the meal and let her serve it.
"Second sister, do you want to write down the daily tasks and rules one by one?"
Zhou Yu shook his head, "No need."
"Does helping out count as housework?"
Zhou Yu wanted to say no, but the cunning look in her sister's eyes made her nod immediately.
"That means that on the days when I don't have to work, I can happily play and eat all day, right?"
Zhou Yu thought about it and nodded, seeing no trap in the words.
"So if something happens and you're not at home, and someone else is covering for you, do you have to return to your shift when you come back?"
