In her previous life, she devoted herself to Lu Ran and ignored too many things. She will not do that again in this life!
She searched around outside the village before she found the stone used to carry the manure water.
In those days, villagers favored giving their children humble names. They believed humble names made it easier to raise children, a common aspiration of the time. Medical technology was underdeveloped, food was scarce, and many children died of illness and starvation. People resorted to this method, hoping to raise their children. Some children didn't even have a proper name.
Shitou usually worked with the production team, but recently it was the off-season and the crops weren't ripe yet, so he went to collect manure.
Because he was young, Chen Xuezhi specially got two small wooden barrels for him, and he earned a good reputation for this.
At this moment, the people who were carrying the manure together were still discussing—
"Shitou is a very sensible kid at such a young age. Second sister-in-law Xuezhi often comes to take over his work and tells him not to do it, but this kid is always busy!"
"Yes, the second sister-in-law of the Hai family is indeed kind-hearted. These children are so lucky only because they met Sister Xuezhi. Otherwise, who would help raise the children?"
"The children are all sensible, except for that Rongya!"
“…”
Zhang Xingrong couldn't help but feel angry when she heard these people talking. Thinking about these years, Chen Xuezhi was really good at dealing with people. She had been secretly and openly forcing the children of the eldest wife to work, and yet she still had a good reputation. Her methods were very powerful!
Take the matter of asking Shitou to carry the manure water, for example. She often pretended to run out to stop him. If Shitou really refused to do it, how would he get food to eat when he returned home at night?
It's a pity that he has to do adults' work at such a young age.
Zhang Xingrong looked at Shitou, who was carrying a bucket of water on his shoulder and was pressed to the ground, and felt extremely distressed.
"Stone, stop it."
Shitou was stunned when he saw the person coming, and then a look of fear appeared on his face. Yes, he was afraid of Rongya.
Although Rong Ya is his biological sister, she sometimes bullies him. Second Aunt also often says that his sister is not a good person and often beats people, so he is afraid of her.
Seeing Shitou like this, she felt a surge of guilt. She had been such a terrible older sister in her previous life. Ever since Shitou was born, she had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a sister.
"Oh my! The sun is rising from the west! Why is Zhang Xingrong here?"
"She's just hanging out, isn't she always hanging around? She's a fatherless and motherless bitch with no upbringing!"
Zhang Xingrong originally didn't want to bother with these people, but after hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but retort: "I have no parents, no upbringing, and your daughter has a father and a mother, but she's still a bitch. Didn't she inherit her foul mouth from you? If someone with a foul mouth meets a good person like me, I'll just give them a beating. If they meet someone with a bad temper, they might just stab them!"
"you……"
The people around them looked at each other in bewilderment. So Zhang Xingrong didn't just hit people randomly? So her daughter was beaten last time because she was too rude?
If that's the case, then he deserves it. If he has foul mouth, he can pick on anyone else, so he's asking for a beating!
Zhang Xingrong ignored them and took the burden from Shitou: "You are still young, you won't have to do this kind of physical work in the future."
Shitou was stunned when the burden on his shoulders was taken away. When he came to his senses, he saw Zhang Xingrong carrying away the manure water, and he hurriedly ran after him!
The people around were also dumbfounded. Had Zhang Xingrong changed his personality today? He actually helped his brother carry manure!
Zhang Xingrong carried the manure water to the reservoir in the field and poured it into it.
Shitou came to her timidly and tried to take the bucket back carefully.
