After a short period of treatment, Madame Wang's spirit had completely recovered. Before this, there would still be some time where he wouldn't be able to clear his head. Now, everything was completely fine.

However, after so many years, her body had already been damaged by the long term overwork, so she still needed some more time to recuperate.

For the sake of helping her take advantage of her mother's health, Tian Yuqiao decided to not let her do anything. This made Madame Wang, who was used to working so hard, feel uncomfortable.

He was used to being squeezed, but now that he was free, he actually felt like he didn't know where to put his arms and legs.

Everyone slept soundly that night, but it was difficult to fall asleep in the big house next door.

There were three rooms in the Tian Residence. The old couple lived in the east room and Tian Guihua lived in the west room. The top floor was made of clay bricks and the roof of the house was made of tile. Although the tile had turned black, it was still fairly solid.

There were four rooms in the Eastern West Side Room and all of them were Earth Embryo Rooms. At any rate, they had used old tiles on the roofs and four rooms each. On the east side, Readboy took one and a half rooms while the other two and a half rooms were occupied by a large family of three.

From this, it could be seen that Readboy's position as the head of the family was actually able to occupy a room and a half by himself.

As for the West Side Room, since the boss's family was going to give Dalang a kiss, Old Master Tian gave them three rooms, one of them for Dalang.

West Side Room's other room was treated as a storage room, where some uncommon agricultural tools were stored.

Tian Yuqiao's family lived in a thatched hut with no roof over their heads.

These two thatched rooms were right next to the West Side Room, so that meant that they had one less wall. This dilapidated thatched cottage was not able to keep up with the granary. It was almost the same as the thatched cottage; winter was breezy, and summer was rainy.

Tian Yuqiao slept until midnight. She was curious to find that the light was still burning in the room next door, so she quietly got dressed and went around to the back.

"I say, your child's father, your useless third brother actually lost five taels of silver in a single go when he was gambling with others. This is enough for a family to spend for a year." "Now that spring is approaching, Lao Si will have to pay a huge sum of money. What do you think our parents are thinking?"

"Hey, what's the use of worrying about it here? "What time is it? If you don't turn off the lights, mom will probably scold us for wasting lamp oil."

There was clear displeasure and sleepiness in the voice of Tian Village's Elder Tian Dajiang.

After a while, Madame Gao continued, "If you ask me, we are just bored to death. "This time, it's really great. She separated Lao Er's family. Now that more than half of the work has fallen to me, it's really unfortunate."

"Hmph, wasn't it all because of you blindly urging them on? Do you know how regretful you are this time?" In the past, you all bullied Lao Er's Wife. On the surface, it seems like there are no men in her family, nor are there any strong men. However, in reality, everyone knows that she has done a lot of work. "

Uriah's eyes widened as she opened her mouth and said, "Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked for it now. That's what I said, but I still said it in the end. I didn't expect mom to really divide Lao Er's family. Sigh, in the future, I'll be in trouble. The three old families have always kept quiet, and it will be difficult for mother to find fault with her. "

"Didn't our mother scold her this time?" Don't even think about it, just go to sleep. "

With that, the oil lamp was extinguished, and there was no more sound of conversation from inside the house. Tian Yuqiao then went to the latrine and returned to her own hut.

At first, she had thought that the three of them were dependent on the other people in the house to feed themselves. But after she had heard the words from the other side of the house, she knew that the three of them only ate one person's food, but were taken care of by Madame Wang.

That steamed bun of his must be worried that his entire family would be exposed, so he put his life on the line to work. But in the end, wasn't it still called a money-losing deal?

In this era, if a family member did not have a man supporting them, they would be ostracized by others, even if they were family members.

The next morning, after the crowing of the chickens, Yutang was the first to quietly stand up.

After putting on her clothes, she leaned against the brick bed cabinet, eagerly waiting for Tian Yuqiao to wake up.

Tian Yuqiao opened her eyes and met the little fellow's bright eyes.

"Little brother, why are you up so early?" Tian Yuqiao yawned and asked.

"Sis, aren't we going up the mountain today? I'm a bit too excited so I can't fall asleep. Hehe."

Only then did Tian Yuqiao remember. She had previously said that she would secretly go to the mountain to refine the lard. No wonder the little guy was so excited.

By the time Madame Wang had finished dressing, she had already woken up. She made some bread for the brother and sister and ate their breakfast with the leftover cabbage soup and half a pig's heart from the previous night.

"Mom, you should rest at home. Don't ever go out, otherwise we won't be at home. You'll be bullied by them."

"Qiao Er, don't worry. Mom won't go anywhere. I'll make new clothes for all of you at home."

Yutang still carried the broken bamboo basket that he always carried on his back when he went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. This time, he kept more than four catties of fat inside, as well as the small pot that Zhuzi's Wife had given him.

This pot was enough for Tian Yuqiao's family. After all, there were very few people in the family. If he used such a big stove every time, it would waste a lot of firewood.

The siblings walked up the mountain arm in arm. At this time, only hardworking families would wake up so early. Most of them had yet to wake up.

After all, the farm work had already passed and everyone was free. There was no need to get up so early.

Halfway up the mountain, Tian Yuqiao saw that the little guy's nose was perspiring a little. She hastily tried to snatch the bamboo basket from his back.

"Sis, I can move my back. Seriously, I ate meat yesterday. I'm full of energy now."

When the little guy saw that Tian Yuqiao was going to snatch the bamboo basket from his back, he instantly became anxious. Now he was the only man in the family, and he was naturally eager for every opportunity to show his manhood.

Tian Yuqiao didn't say anything and just smiled. Then, she continued leading Tian Yutang up the mountain.

Sigh, it's really sad to eat something good at home while sneaking around.

After they turned a corner, Tian Yuqiao felt that it was about time. She found a place with a few rocks and put down everything behind Tian Yutang.

"Hu!" The little fellow heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, his small face was flushed red.

"Who told you to show off when you're fine? This thing can't be considered heavy, but after all, we've walked so far on the mountain road, don't be so stubborn in the future. " Tian Yuqiao pretended to be angry.
