The farmer collects wealth, cruelly abuses the leftover 002 three sisters Tang Guo
【002】
Tang Mei opened her eyes and gazed at the yellow mud and black tiles that appeared before her. The dilapidated earthen house with only one broken table looked familiar, reminiscent of the scene she saw when she first traveled back in time to ancient times, the broken house belonging to her stepfather.
She touched her chest, no blood, and no heart-piercing pain.
Where is this?
She raised her hand, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. It was short, dry, and clearly a child's hand.
"Sister... sister, are you up?" A soft and tender voice like a glutinous rice ball came from outside the door.
Tang Mai's whole body shook, and she quickly got up from the bed, ran to the door, opened it, and in front of her appeared a thin and pale little girl. The little girl's eyes were bright black, but when looking at Tang Mai, there was a hint of fear.
Guǒ ér, zhēn de shì guǒ ér, shì sān suì shí de guǒ ér!
Translation: Ah, it's really a fruit, it's the fruit from when I was three years old!
Although Tang Mei was not showing her emotions, at this moment she almost screamed with surprise and delight. She stretched out her hand and tightly hugged Tang Guo in her arms, feeling the real temperature of her sister, her Tang Guo, who was still okay, not driven mad by her.
"Sister, it hurts..." Tang Guo's timid voice came from in front of Tang Mai's chest. When Tang Mai heard Tang Guo's words, he quickly let go of his hand, but the excitement and surprise in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
"Guo'er, sorry, it's just that sister is too excited. Where does it hurt? Let sister take a look, okay?" Tang Mai was flustered for the first time, everything in front of her was real, if she wasn't mistaken, this should be the year she had just crossed over to this place, her little sister was alive and well, did that mean her father, mother, older sister, older brother, and younger brother were all doing well too?
"Sister..." Tang Guo secretly took a step back, but then seemed to fear that Tang Mai would get angry, so he carefully moved back to his original position.
Tang Mai saw Tang Guo's small movements, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. In her past life, she had never been good to Tang Guo, and bringing her to the capital was only because she had utilitarian value, and in the end, she even drove her mad.
She is not human, she really isn't human.
"Sister, Guo'er is obedient, sister won't get angry." Tang Guo quietly stretched out her hand and pulled at Tang Mai's sleeve, her beautiful eyes already shining with tears.
She was only three years old, but her second sister had never liked her, and she knew it.
"Sister is not angry, Guoer doesn't cry, don't cry." Tang Mai carefully hugged Tang Guo, comforting the person in her arms, but she herself had already cried out loud.
Is it because she did too many bad things in her past life that God has let her be reborn to repay her debts?
This life, she won't be a white-eyed wolf again, won't let her family suffer anymore. The debts of the previous life, this life, she will repay tenfold, a hundredfold!
"Guǒ ér, lái, gēn jiě jie dào wū lǐ qù, wài tóu lěng." Táng Mài cā gān le yǎn lèi, qiān zhe Táng Guǒ de shǒu, cháo shēn hòu de pò jiù fáng zi zǒu le jìn qù, jiāng Táng Guǒ bào dào chuáng shàng, duì Táng Guǒ dào, "Guǒ ér, è bù è? Nǐ zuò zài zhè lǐ děng èr jiě, èr jiě chū qù gěi nǐ nòng chī de, hǎo bù hǎo?"
Tang Guo raised her head and took a sneak peek at Tang Mai. Today, her second sister was acting strange, hugging her and crying, yet also smiling at her. It seemed like her second sister didn't dislike her anymore.
"Okay." Although she didn't know what Tang Mai was going to do, she still meekly responded with a "yes", sat obediently on the bed, and gave Tang Mai a shy smile.
Tang Mai smiled and rubbed Tang Guo's hair, then closed the door and walked out.
She walked out of the house, and Táng Mài gazed at the familiar yet strange winding path in her memory. She took a deep breath, thinking that in her previous life, she had inexplicably transmigrated into a poor rural family, which made her extremely unhappy. Yet now, being reborn here was such a delightful thing.
It's now the busy farming season, all the labor force in her family have gone to work in the fields, except for her.
There are six people in the family now. Five years ago, her biological father passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official. In order to marry the daughter of the prime minister, he secretly divorced her mother. Even she and her twin brother, who had not yet been born, were abandoned by him because they would hinder his future prospects.
Four years ago, her mother, Xiu Lan, married her and her brother - Tang Ke to their current father - Tang Yuan Shan.
Tang Yuanshan originally had a wife, but that wife was never obedient. On a certain occasion, she hooked up with a rich old master and left behind her daughter, Tang Mi, to run away with the rich old master.
Third sister Tang Guo is her mother and her current father's child.
If Tang Mai hadn't misremembered, a year later, the seventh member of her family, her younger brother - Tang Fei would be born.
In the family, only she had never been to the fields because she was afraid of getting dirty and tired, and more afraid of the cicadas in the fields. Who would have thought that in this poor family where they couldn't even afford meals, the most spoiled daughter wasn't Tang Guo who was younger than her, nor was it Tang Yuanshan's biological daughter Tang Mi, but rather she, the selfish and heartless - Tang Mai.
In the past, when she was slightly ill, her family would spare no expense to invite a doctor for her, while others who were ill would just use some folk remedies and get over it.
Tang Mai thought of the past, clenched her fists, she was no longer the Tang Mai of before, she could be selfish and cruel to anyone, but absolutely not for the family she would rather sacrifice herself for!
This lifetime, she will no longer stop Tang Mi from marrying the man Tang Mi loves.
That man, after Tang Mi's death, single-handedly stormed into the Wu family (Tang Mi's husband's family), slaughtered the Wu family, and was eventually beheaded at the Meridian Gate, she knew about it.
At that time, she didn't know the reason. It wasn't until before her death that she knew. It turned out that Tang Mi had suffered so much and it was all because of her.
She won't let history repeat itself, she won't let her brother Tang Ke die in battle at the age of ten; won't let Tang Guo be framed by others; won't let Tang Fei's legs become crippled.
About 500 meters away from her home, there was a piece of wasteland overgrown with weeds. It is said that this land was left by a man from a foreign country a long time ago. Inside it grew red and juicy fruits, while underground grew hard and rough fruits. The villagers all said that they were poisonous fruits, and no one dared to touch them. As time went on, the land was abandoned.
But where Tang Mai went was this wasteland, and what grew there were not poisonous fruits but tomatoes and sweet potatoes.
In her previous life, she already knew about it and often went there to pick some back. She would also make a flower pattern for herself as an extra dish, but she never told her family about this, and every time she ate alone.
She thought that she and the Tang family didn't have a real blood relationship because of her past life as a transmigrator, and what she did was indeed ruthless enough.
Tang Mai went to the wilderness and picked a dozen ripe tomatoes, putting them in a basket. He looked around, selected a wooden stick, used it to dig up several sweet potatoes from the ground, put them in the basket, and headed home.
The journey was not far, but for a five-year-old girl carrying so many things, it was still very tiring, forcing her to slow down.
"Sister, are you back?" As soon as he returned home, he heard Tang Guo's voice. After closing the gate, he saw Tang Guo walking out of the house.
Tang Mai smiled and beckoned to Tang Guo, "Guo'er, come here."
Tang Guo was afraid of Tang Mai, because since Tang Mai woke up from a coma half a year ago, every time she got close to Tang Mai, Tang Mai would look at her with cold eyes. But now it seems different.
Children's minds are originally simple. Seeing Tang Mai smile at her, the fear in Tang Guo's heart also slowly dissipated, and she walked towards Tang Mai.
Tang Mai took the basket to a nearby well and asked Tang Guo to stand back, then picked up a bucket beside her and threw it into the well. She had never fetched water by herself before, but when she heard the gurgling sound from the well, she pulled on the rope tied to the bucket, trying to pull it up.
But she seemed to have underestimated the weight of the bucket and overestimated the strength of her small body, after struggling for a while, the bucket still didn't come up.
"Sister, I'm here to help you, okay?" Tang Guo walked over, having been chased away from the well by Tang Mai, and looked at Tang Mai with a fearful expression.
Tang Mai looked at Tang Guo's cautious gaze and felt a pang of sadness, "Alright!"
Tang Guo was overjoyed, and pulled up the rope handed to him by Tang Mai. Together, they managed to pull up a quarter of a bucket of water from the well - quite an achievement for a five-year-old and a three-year-old!
"Guǒ er, go get a basin."
"Okay."
Tang Guo is really obedient and smart, Tang Mai can't understand how she used to think that Tang Guo was weak and timid, like a little daughter-in-law, and how she didn't like it no matter what.
She shook her head, what had happened in the past was over, she was no longer the Táng Mài of before, even if Guǒ was really born weak, she would protect her well.
Tang Guo quickly brought out a half-sized wooden basin, but walked a bit unsteadily. Tang Mai came forward and took the basin from Tang Guo's hands, making an effort to pour some water into it. She took tomatoes from the basket and put them in the basin, washed them once, pulled Tang Guo's hand over, helped her wash her hands clean, picked up a tomato and placed it on those small hands. "Guo'er, you eat this first, second sister will go cook."
Tang Guo stared at the bright red tomato in her hand, she had never seen this thing before. Her mother said that she couldn't eat unfamiliar things casually, but this was given by her second sister. If she didn't eat it, would her second sister dislike her again like before?
Tang Guo didn't want Tang Mai to dislike her, so she closed her eyes, resigned herself to it and took a bite. Her eyes lit up as the sour and sweet flavors mingled together, seemingly delicious.
Tang Mai saw Tang Guo's resigned look at first, and then after taking a bite, she looked up at her with sparkling eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable.
In her past life, she really didn't like this younger sister, not just because Tang Guo was naturally timid and weak, but also because as Tang Guo grew up to be more and more beautiful, she discovered more than once that Long Jiyuan would look at Tang Guo with a gaze like he was eyeing prey.
She must have been possessed by a ghost in her past life, how could she think that Tang Guo seduced Long Jiyan, and how could she think that Long Jiyan is a good man?
Her sister, such a good sister.
"Second sister, this is delicious." Tang Guo said, carefully putting the tomato in his hand aside.
Tang Mei looked at her strangely, and saw that she was embarrassed, saying "This is for Father, Mother, elder sister, and brother to eat."
"Dummy, you're such a big dummy." Tang Mai tightly hugged Tang Guo, "Guo'er, don't worry, later we'll have lots of delicious food and lots of money. Dad will have some, mom will have some, we'll all have some. Eat up, eat your fill, then sister will think of ways to make more money."
She had never thought of leading this poor and broken family to a rich road in her previous life, so she was always deaf to the outside world and only took care of her own affairs. She hadn't even been to her mother's maiden home, let alone her stepfather Tang Yuanshan's parents' side.
Her life changed when she was eight years old.
That year she was taken to Beijing by her biological father and began living a life of luxury as a young lady, with everything at her fingertips.
Those days, if it weren't for her half-sister Song Qingfeng and that disgusting stepmother of hers, she thought she would have been much happier.
Later, her stepfather and brother died one after another, and she was also at the age of marriage. Considering taking family members as stepping stones like Song Qingfeng, she brought her mother and sisters and brothers to Beijing, letting them squeeze into a broken house.
Tang Guo didn't quite understand what Tang Mai said, she just nodded happily, she really liked her second sister now, really really liked.
