Chapter 10: Peeling

"She wants to get close to my brother, haha!" Bai Xiaolian also looked down on Sheng Zhaodi.

In the end, Sheng Zhaodi could only return to the door of her house, squat on the ground, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously. It was all the fault of that little bitch Sheng Wanqiu. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been kicked out by her mother, and Aunt Bai wouldn't have refused to let her enter the yard.

On her side, Sheng Wanqiu was admiring her appearance in a small bronze mirror.

Tsk tsk tsk! She's still too thin, and her complexion isn't good either, not white enough.

The best thing about her is her eyes, which are lively and charming. Her nose is quite straight and her lips are pouty. She has two dimples on her face when she smiles. She looks quiet and elegant even when she is not smiling. If she were whiter and a little fatter, she would be considered a little beauty.

Of course, clothes make the man. If you dress better, you can go out and scare people!
The most urgent thing is to think about how to make money. Dai Yue is a cultured person, so it seems that she has to send her younger brothers to school. If one of her two younger brothers can become an official, won’t she be able to rest easy?

Also, if she really found a way to make money, it wouldn't work without someone protecting her. As long as the officials found some bullshit reason to confiscate her property, her hard work would be ruined, and no matter how much money she made, it would be useless.

"Why don't you go wash up and go to bed? Why are you looking at yourself in the mirror? You are just vain!" When Mrs. Sheng came in and saw her holding a small bronze mirror and grinning in front of it, she shuddered in fear.

It was unlucky to look in the mirror at night, so he quickly interrupted her.

"I understand, grandma, you go to sleep first! I'll go boil some water and take a bath before going to sleep!" Sheng Wanqiu jumped out of bed quickly and went to the kitchen to boil water.

When I watched the short video before, I really wanted to try out this old-fashioned earthen stove. Sheng Huaian was the one who cooked dinner, and she had never tried it before!
Without thinking twice, after some work, a dusty man crawled out from the smoke-filled kitchen.

"Damn it! I'm choking to death!" Sheng Wanqiu sat on the ground and coughed.

"What the hell are you doing? You burned down the kitchen!"

Mrs. Sheng ran into the kitchen cursing, pulled out a pile of wood from the stove, and then came out to greet Sheng Wanqiu with a barrage of punches.

"Grandma, don't hit me. I'm just boiling some water to take a bath. I'm not going to burn down the kitchen!"

While running, Sheng Wanqiu turned back and begged for mercy from Mrs. Sheng.

"Boiling water? Are you boiling water? You almost poked the bottom of the pot! You little bitch, why are you getting more and more stupid!"

"You can't even boil water, what else can you do! Don't run away, I'll beat you up!"

Mrs. Sheng ran while holding a fire stick and cursing!

In the end, it was Sheng Huaian who helped her boil the bath water. Touching the few strands of hair that were pulled out by her grandmother, Sheng Wanqiu wanted to cry but had no tears. This old lady was too cruel to pull her hair!
Oh oh oh!
Originally, she thought that she would need time to adapt to this era and would not be able to sleep. However, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and slept soundly with the sound of insects.

Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Wanqiu who was curled up at her feet, reached out to cover her with the thin quilt, and touched her hair kindly. Perhaps this child was trying to find joy in suffering!
After a good night's sleep, Sheng Wanqiu opened her eyes to the sound of roosters crowing.

"Whose chicken is this? Kill it and stew it! It's so noisy, it's only this hour and it's already crowing. I can tell it's Sheng Pao Pi's chicken!"

"What are you mumbling about? Who is Sheng Paopi?"

Mrs. Sheng walked in from outside and looked at Sheng Wanqiu, who had a messy hair, with disgust.

"A mean old landlord!" Sheng Wanqiu replied, stretching. "Hurry up and wash up, then take the oxcart to town!" Mrs. Sheng ignored her nonsense and started packing up.

Sheng Wanqiu put on her clothes, walked out of the yard, and took a long walk. Where was her toothbrush?

"Sister, what are you looking for?" Sheng Huaian brought breakfast out of the kitchen and saw Sheng Wanqiu strolling around the yard.

"Uh! I don't know how to put it, but how do you rinse your mouth?" Sheng Wanqiu scratched his head and asked.

"That's easy!" Then Sheng Wanqiu saw her brother pick a white branch from the white bamboo and hand it to her.

"Just dip this in coarse salt and apply it on your teeth!"

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you still asleep? How come you forgot all this?" Sheng Huaian looked at his sister suspiciously.

"I was half asleep, haha!" Sheng Wanqiu smiled awkwardly and took the white branch to brush her teeth.

Tsk tsk tsk, my teeth were almost pierced, what a sin!

Xilihulu finished his breakfast, a bowl of rice porridge so big that he could see himself in a mirror, and a piece of black cake that was unrecognizable. He pounded his chest three times before swallowing it.

In the end, Mrs. Sheng arranged for her two grandsons to go to her eldest daughter's home in the next village, and she took Sheng Wanqiu to her youngest daughter's home in town.

The eldest daughter's home is in the next village, not far away, and she feels very comfortable letting her two grandsons go there alone because they often go there.

"Be careful on the road, if there are blind people who provoke you, fight them if you can, if you can't, just run away, come back and tell me, I will avenge you two!"

Before Sheng Wanqiu could finish explaining her two younger brothers, she was dragged away by Mrs. Sheng. She was really scared. It was enough to have one bad boy in the family, but if there were two more, she would not be able to survive!
Mrs. Sheng took her and squeezed onto the ox cart. The people on this cart were basically from the surrounding villages. Usually, this ox cart made two trips a day.

Qingshan Village, where they live, is relatively close to the town, with only two villages between them. If they walk there, it will take more than two hours.

If you take the ox cart quickly, you can get there in an hour.

Two cents per person was a very reasonable fare. Sheng Wanqiu paid for it. She knew she would be going to the town today, so she had her small purse on her body early on, actually placed it in the 300-square-meter space.

Sheng Wanqiu held the earthenware jar, rested her head on Mrs. Sheng's shoulder, and endured the bumps from under her butt.

She hadn't been walking for long and her butt was already numb!
Damn it! When she makes money, she will buy a carriage to make her butt less miserable!

"Wanqiu, what's in this earthenware jar?" Bai Xiaolian and her daughter were also in the car. When Bai Xiaolian saw Sheng Wanqiu take out silver to pay, she started to feel jealous. Why was this person richer than her? Her mother was good at everything except giving her silver.

Sheng Wanqiu casually took out four cents, and she was very jealous.

In addition, she looked very different today. Her hair was neatly braided into a pigtail with an unknown small flower inserted in it. The gray dress made her look very beautiful. Anyway, she was still the same person as before, but Sheng Wanqiu felt very different today.
