Owner of the field house

  The peasants gather wealth, cruelly bullying the weak 005 landlord's family

  【005】

  "Mai'er, this is quite delicious." Tang Mi seemed to have seen what Tang Mai was thinking, put the dry ration in his mouth and took a bite, looking at Tang Mai with a smile.

  This is still the first time Mai'er held her hand.

  "Sister, stop eating." Tang Mai lowered her eyelids, then raised her head, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She reached out and snatched the dry rations from Tang Mi's hand, directly throwing them into the field.

  Tang Mi was taken aback and hastily apologized, "Mai'er, it's sister's fault, don't be angry, I won't eat anymore, sister won't eat anymore."

  Foolish people, all of you are foolish.

  Tang Mai tightly hugged Tang Mi, what's wrong with that? Why should I apologize to you? It's me who owes you an apology, it's all my fault!

  "Wheat..."

  "Sister, brother, let's go back." Tang Mai said to Tang Ke as he pulled away from Tang Mi and took the hand of Tang Guo who was standing aside.

  Four kids passed by where Old Man Tang and his family were eating, and heard another cold hum. Tang Mai turned around, met the gaze of Little Miss Tang's eyes, and raised a cold smile.

  That smile made the little girl from the Tang family's hair stand on end, and a wave of fear surged up in her heart. She quickly withdrew her gaze, until she realized that Tang Mai was just a five-year-old child, then she secretly let out a cold hum.

  Back to Tang Yuanshan and Lian Xiulan, Tang Mai took advantage of the little kid's selling Meng, only to learn from others that these fields were all Tang Lao Yezi, saying that there were not enough hands at home, let Tang Yuanshan's family come to help.

  Letting someone help for free is one thing, but not even giving them food to eat is another.

  Tang Mai was an orphan before crossing over, and before rebirth, she had never been in contact with anyone from the Tang family. It's really the first time she knew that there were people who could be more extreme than her previous life. In her previous life, no matter how bad she was, at least she gave people enough to eat.

  But she knew that she couldn't change the situation for a while, so she could only endure it. She had to do what she needed to do as quickly as possible, find a way to make money, earn some silver, and then get far away from the extreme goods.

  That afternoon, Tang Mai didn't go back home but instead followed them to do some simple work in the fields. It wasn't until night fell that the six of them returned home under the moonlight.

  After a tiring day, Tang Mai still didn't rest. Taking advantage of Lian Xiulan cooking dinner, he pulled Tang Ke and Tang Mi to the abandoned land and dug up another basket of sweet potatoes.

  Although the two did not know what Tang Mai was doing with these, they still followed Tang Mai's intention and helped to dig.

  "Mom, the rice was cooked by me, these can be eaten, we had this for lunch." Tang Mai said in a childish tone to Lian Xiu Lan, and presented a basket of sweet potatoes.

  Lian Xiulan had never seen a sweet potato before, but when Tang Mai told her about it, she thought of what they had eaten at noon and patted Tang Mai's little head, so she went along with Tang Mai's idea and boiled the sweet potatoes.

  The family's dinner finally had a settlement.

  That night, after the children had gone to bed, Lianxiulan lay on her bed, thinking of the empty rice jar and sighed again. The adults were fine, but several children were growing up, how could they eat one meal and starve another?

  "Xiu Lan, what's wrong?"

  Tang Yuanshan heard Lian Xiulan's sigh and wrapped his arms around her slightly thin body, so that the person in his arms would be warmer.

  "Son of a gun, I heard that the landlord's family is going to have a wedding and they're hiring people to help with the work. If you get picked, you can earn ten copper coins a day. I'm thinking of giving it a try."

  Tang Yuanshan was silent for a while, he naturally knew the situation at home and pitied his wife. He thought of going to help with the work, which would be easier, so he agreed, "Alright, leave the matters in the fields to me."

  There's no money at home.

  Tang Mai hadn't slept at all, she had just taken advantage of the fact that Tang Mi, Tang Ke and Tang Guo were all asleep in the room, and quietly got up, when she heard the conversation between Tang Yuanshan and Lian Xiulan in the next room.

  She remembered that the landlord was the richest family in the ten-mile-eight-village area, with over a hundred acres of good land, and was very generous, kind-hearted and charitable, and was also a famous filial son, with an old mother over 70 years old at home.

  She is five years old, if I'm not mistaken, Tian Dizhu's mother went blind this year. In her previous life, Tian Dizhu had sought out her master to cure his mother's eyes and knelt at the door for three days and nights before moving her eccentric master, but by then it was too late, even her master couldn't do anything about it.

  Tang Mei thought that perhaps her first silver could be obtained from the landlord, after all, in her previous life she was a 16-year-old "Ghost Hand Saint Doctor" who was famous throughout Tianlong Country and hard to invite.

  Thinking of my own medical skills, I think of my master, and also my master's unbelievable gaze before his death...

  When her husband comes back, she will definitely go find him and take good care of him. Whatever he wants to eat, she will make it for him.

  The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Tang Yuanshan and Lian Xiulan got up, and the children also woke up and got out of bed to wash and dress themselves.

  Tang Mei saw Lian Xiu Lan saying goodbye to Tang Yuan Shan, so she walked over and hugged Lian Xiu Lan's leg. "Mom, where are you going? Can I go with you?"

  "Mai'er, Mom is going to work, you and Guo'er stay at home and be good, there's food on the table, eat it yourself if you're hungry, Mom will bring back some delicious food for you tonight."

  "Mother, I'll be good, take me with you, okay?" Tang Mai blinked her big eyes and pitifully hugged Lian Shulan, a person who had lived for three lifetimes, doing this kind of thing, surprisingly didn't feel out of place at all, as if it were second nature.

  "Mom, I won't run around, I'll follow you obediently, just take me with you."

  "Xiu Lan, Mai'er wants to go, you take her to have a look." Tang Yuanshan walked out of the house and affectionately rubbed Tang Mai's hair.

  "But..." Xiu Lan hesitated for a moment, looking at Tang Mai's hopeful eyes, and could only agree.

  Then, Lian Xiulan took Tang Mai to help with the work at Tian Didi's house, while Tang Yuanshan took Tang Mi, Tang Ke and Tang Guo to plant crops.

  Lian Xiulan walked with Tang Mai for dozens of miles before seeing a large mansion, with two big red lanterns hanging at the entrance, filled with joyful atmosphere everywhere.

  Tang Mai followed Lian Xiulan into the house through the back door, where they met a middle-aged woman dressed as a housekeeper. She had Lian Xiulan cook a dish, tasted it, nodded in approval, and then left her to work in the kitchen.

  Lian Xiulan went to work and let Tang Mai stay outside the kitchen and play, don't run around.

  Tang Mai nodded obediently and saw that there was a dish to be washed, so she went to help. With her sweet mouth, she smiled at everyone, and the aunties in the kitchen praised her for a while, secretly giving her many snacks. She hid all the food away, thinking of taking it back home for everyone to eat together.

  From the chatter of the aunts helping in the kitchen, I learned that this was the eldest son of the landlord getting married, and he was marrying the daughter of Li, the owner of a pawnshop in the county seat. They were going to set up dozens of tables for the banquet, which would last for three days and three nights. Since there weren't enough people at home, they had invited people from all around to come back and help out.

  Tang Mai was not interested in the landlord's son or daughter-in-law, but only in the landlord's old mother. No wonder, that was her first wealth. As long as she had money, life at home would be better.

  The problem now is that she, a five-year-old little girl, can gain the trust of the landowner, cure her before Mrs. Tian goes blind, and get the medical fee.
