Chi Xiaomiao felt so tired that she was gasping for breath.
She has to get up before dawn every day to help braise the meat. After breakfast, she has to push the braised meat cart to the street and stand there until noon to sell all the braised meat. In the meantime, she may have to run back and forth twice to get more braised meat to replenish the stock.
I have to say, my second sister's business is really good, better than her mother's business in town.
But she had too much work to do, which was too much for her to accept.
Chi Xiaoai would make promises to her, saying that as long as she helped finish the work this month, she would give her a set of clothes.
Chi Xiaomiao worked very hard for this dress, but today she had her period, and her complexion was very bad. Standing on the side of the street, she looked as pale as Bai Wuchang.
Song Wenjing's face turned grim as he asked Chi Xiaoai, "What's wrong with her? She's standing in the middle of the street with a dead look on her face. Is she trying to bring bad luck to me?"
Chi Xiaoai frowned and said, "She's not feeling well, so please be quiet."
Song Wenjing said in a bad tone: "She's not feeling well, tell her not to come out."
Chi Xiaoai was unconvinced: "If she doesn't come out, will you handle it yourself?"
She paid her sister to work, so there was no reason for her to rest.
Song Wenjing said irritably, "Tell her to stand further away, or ask her to go back and get the goods. Don't block her up here."
Chi Xiaomiao's stomach ached so much that she could barely stand. She was about to tell Chi Xiaoai that she wanted to take some time off to go back and lie down for a while. Chi Xiaoai then said, "Old Three, go get some braised eggs first. Eggs are selling well today."
Chi Xiaomiao frowned and said, "Second sister, I feel very uncomfortable now. I want to go back and lie down for a while."
Chi Xiaoai immediately asked: "If you go back and lie down, what should I do?"
Chi Xiaomiao paused, feeling so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand up: "Second sister, I feel so uncomfortable now, I can't stand up."
Chi Xiaoai: "Then go get the things first, then go back and rest."
It's almost noon. I have to go get the things now. When I get back, my second sister's new mother-in-law will ask her to work.
Chi Xiaomiao was as tired as a cow and didn't want to go back at all: "Sister, my stomach hurts so much, I can't walk, I really can't walk."
Chi Xiaoai's face was serious, and her tone slowed down: "You also know that my second sister's business is so busy now, and I can't leave. You came here to help me. If you don't help me, who else can I ask for help?"
After hearing what she said, Chi Xiaomiao didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Go get it first, and we'll talk about it after you get it. You can see how busy it is here, and I can't leave. If you insist on holding on, it will be like helping my second sister. If you don't even help my second sister."
Chi Xiaomiao was at her wit's end and could only nod and say, "Okay then."
She was really tired.
Chi Lanlan came over at this time, but Chi Xiaoai didn't see her.
Chi Xiaomiao walked to the entrance of the alley and saw Chi Lanlan. She asked unexpectedly, "Sister, why are you here?"
But she held her stomach with her hands and hunched her back.
Chi Lanlan could tell at a glance that she was having menstrual cramps and said, "Why don't you rest if you're not feeling well?"
Chi Xiaomiao wants to rest, but she has to be able to rest!
Chi Xiaomiao wrinkled her face and said, "Sister, can you help me?"
Chi Lanlan asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Chi Xiaomiao almost squatted on the ground: "Go to my second brother-in-law's house for me and bring the braised meat over."
She added, "My second sister's business is so good, even better than Mom's."
I don't know what her mentality was when she added this sentence.
Chi Lanlan didn't want to guess, so she looked towards the alley entrance and saw Song Wenjing and his wife busy at work.
Chi Xiaomiao looked at Chi Lanlan. Although she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand steadily, she still wanted to stimulate Chi Lanlan: "Sister, do you think their business is very good?"
Chi Lanlan nodded and said, "It's really good."
Chi Xiaomiao wondered why her eldest sister wasn't angry, but she still had to say something: "So, don't look down on others. You didn't want your second sister and brother-in-law to make money, but now they're making more than you, aren't they?"
Chi Lanlan looked at Chi Xiaomiao dimly: "Did they tell you that they make more money than me now?"
Chi Xiaomiao frowned. Her elder sister was just a stubborn person.
"It's come to this point. What's wrong with admitting that you're not as good as others?"
Chi Lanlan looked at Chi Xiaomiao.
Chi Xiaomiao was a little proud: "Everyone says sisters, sisters, but you don't have any sisterly feelings for us. Second sister is still better. Second sister will take care of me and bring me to the city."
Chi Lanlan found it quite amusing: "Did she bring you to the city to serve you or to command you?"
Chi Xiaomiao's heart was stabbed, but she still said with a righteous look on her face: "Sister, how can you say such things? My second sister also needs to struggle in the city. She and her second brother-in-law are working hard to build up their business. You see it?"
"There's such a long line in front of them, you're jealous and sour, right?"
Chi Lanlan felt that there must be a reason why Chi Xiaoai's business was so successful, but what was the reason?
She squinted her eyes and looked at Chi Xiaomiao: "Why should I be sour?"
Chi Xiaomiao snorted: "Then only you know, how would I know?"
"You don't know? Then how do you know I'm sour?" Chi Lanlan asked back.
Chi Xiaomiao suddenly didn't know how to answer. She was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "I don't have the energy to talk nonsense with you here now. My stomach hurts so much. Either you help me or don't talk."
Then you deserve the pain. Chi Lanlan looked at her, but didn't move or say anything.
