643 Eldest Sister Like Mother 3
Chapter 643: Elder sister is like mother 3
Seeing the panic on his granddaughter's face, the old man comforted and explained: "Aya, grandpa is not angry. Your dad did the right thing, and that's what it should be."
After that, after thinking about it for a while, with eyes full of hope but unable to bear the shame, he held his breath and asked: "You, you have shown such ability now, but..."
The old man couldn't say what he said next, and he also knew that doing so was too harsh and embarrassing for his granddaughter.
But, the old and the young in this family always have to eat, right?
The old woman can only take care of a third of the family's land. It's okay for her to take care of the food, clothing, and shelter for the whole family, but she doesn't have the ability to go hunting in the mountains and earn money to feed the family.
.
This family has neither land nor land, so they have to rent the land and plant it. Given their current situation, not to mention the entire food ration, it is a matter of debate whether they can pay the tax and rent.
The other children in the family are still young, so he is very satisfied if he can help the family while taking care of himself.
And he knew what condition his own body was in now. He wouldn't be able to last two years, and he might lose his legs that day.
Therefore, he had no choice. Even if he really embarrassed the eldest girl, he still had to talk to her about certain things and things.
Looking at the twinkling light in the old man's eyes, Jian Jian understood what the old man was talking about without thinking. However, she did not intend to be like the original owner in the original plot, who foolishly took the lead in showing her sincerity.
Take the initiative to take on the important responsibility of supporting the family.
These people always don't know how to cherish things that are too easy to obtain, and they will gradually become taken for granted.
Therefore, if it's a bit bitter, you just have to ask them to eat something.
"Huh? But what?" Jian Yi asked confused.
The old man's hot heart was immediately chilled by the simple words, and he frowned and looked at his granddaughter again carefully.
The girl opposite him was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but perhaps because she was a descendant of his Miao family, she was extra tall and pretty compared to other girls of the same age in the village.
While he was tall and pretty, he also had strength in his hands. She could really see how he drew the bow just a few times. His lower body was as stable as a rock, and his hands were very powerful. He had not fully drawn the bow in many years.
But for such a young girl, it really takes no effort at all to pull this girl up, which is especially impressive.
It seems that her father has taught the child a lot in the past!
Such a child, if he were a man, would definitely be a good hunter for my old Miao family, and he might even be able to earn a lot of money and benefit his descendants.
Even if she is a woman, it doesn't matter. It's fine. She just needs to stay at home for a few more years.
Around the world, girls like his eldest grandson are most in demand and there is no need to worry about getting married.
Thinking of this, the old man's originally frowning eyebrows couldn't help but relax a little. He looked at his little granddaughter and said with a smile: "Aya, are you willing to forge and exercise with grandpa from today on, learn bow bending and archery, animal habits, and accompany grandpa in the future?"
Let’s go hunting in the mountains together?”
After saying this, the old man couldn't help but take a breath again, and looked at Jian Yi with bated breath again, with a serious look on his face.
The old man has already made it so clear. Jian Jian couldn't just talk vaguely with him. It would be pointless. Anyway, her ultimate goal was to stop him from going hunting in the mountains so that he could easily avoid what the old lady had arranged.
Those countless household chores.
Sometimes when meeting people like Mrs. Miao, Jian Yi can't help but sigh at the complexity of human nature. At the same time, she can't help but understand the origin of the phrase "why do women make things so difficult for women?"
Reading through the original plot from the beginning, Jian Jian saw that the old lady had sincere love for the original owner. After all, the original owner was the first child of the third generation.
But when Miao's mother left the original owner without getting pregnant again for two years, the old lady's attitude towards Miao's mother and the original owner changed somewhat; when Miao's mother gave birth to three daughters in a row but failed to give birth to a boy, Miao's mother became more miserable than Miao's father.
The old man continued to favor boys over girls, and Mrs. Miao became even more unhappy with the original owner and Miao's mother.
After Miao's father and Miao's mother passed away one after another, the old lady began to treat the original owner less and less as a human being. Day by day, she treated the original owner like an animal.
When the original owner got old, many good people came to hire her. In order to keep the original owner and continue to support the family and earn betrothal gifts for her two precious grandchildren, the old lady drove them all out. She made the original owner become a famous old girl in eight villages ten miles away, no matter whether she went to the mountains to collect firewood.
Even when he was doing laundry in the river, the original owner would always hear rumors and be deeply disturbed by them.
Even if she died, she would not let the original owner go. She forced the original owner to kneel down in front of her bed and swear that she would not marry until her two younger brothers had enough money to marry and have children, and that she would raise them well. This was a very serious oath.
The kind that swears poison.
Although this poisonous oath may not seem like a big deal to the original owner, to ordinary people, swearing is a very serious matter. Even the modern people of later generations may not be able to withstand it, let alone those who pay attention to those gods and gods.
The ancients of things.
Therefore, the old lady is a very bad person. She is completely carrying out moral kidnapping, family love PUA, and mental control on the original owner, making the original owner dedicate his life to this family.
In the end, she didn't end up with a good one. Those who promised that they would remember her gratitude, repay her in the future, and support her in her old age, all failed to do so in the end.
To say that this is the thought of the ancients and a characteristic of this era, it is clear that the old man and Miao's father did not have many ideas of favoring sons over daughters.
Miao's mother had not been in good health since she gave birth to Miao Sanying, so Miao's father had no intention of having another boy. Miao's mother and Mrs. Miao had been nagging her, especially until six or seven years after Miao Sanying was born.
When there was no movement, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went crazy. They would not let go of any weird folk remedies, otherwise they would have ruined their health and died early in childbirth.
After Miao's father and mother were gone, the old lady kept squeezing the original owner, but let Miao Erying and Miao Sanying go. They were both girls, but in the same age group, they had to pay as much as the original owner for the family.
Thirty or four out of ten of them didn't have it; in the end, in order to keep the money for her dowry down, they oppressed the original owner for a period of time.
On the other hand, the old man's treatment of his grandchildren is pretty much the same from Jian Yan's perspective, at least from Jian Yan's perspective, whether it's from his behavior or appearance.
Moreover, when the original owner was fourteen years old, the old man found a good family for the original owner, and even prepared the dowry money at the bottom of the box without telling the old wife.
It's a pity that the old man passed away long ago.
Therefore, in addition to the four younger siblings of the original owner, Jian Jian also had a lot of opinions about the old lady.
At least the original owner's younger brothers and sisters are still little Douding, while the old lady is the head of the family.
After Jian Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, he raised his head again and agreed.
"Well, I listen to grandpa."
"Da Ya, what's the matter with you damn kid? Didn't I ask you to do the laundry? Why are the basins and clothes on the floor, and are you disturbing your grandpa's practice?"
As soon as Jian Yi finished speaking, she got up early in the morning and went to work on the two-cent vegetable patch in Lao Miao's house. When she turned around and came back to cook with her friends, she saw her eldest granddaughter throwing her clothes on the floor and just standing aside chatting with her wife. She immediately stopped.
Happy.
The old lady was feeling impatient due to the summer heat. When she saw something that was beyond her eyes, she immediately spoke loudly.
