After Li left to visit relatives, Da Ya could only continue to work hard with her two younger sisters.

The rice in the field begins to bloom, which will attract insects and mice. It cannot attract field water during the day, so it can only be done at night.

Of course, Acer couldn't let the children watch at night. After dinner in the evening, he would go to the fields to divert the water from the ditches to the fields.

Lai once went in to look through clothes and shoes when her three older children were away, but she couldn't find them no matter how hard she looked.

When I read it for the first time, I wanted to hit the fourth baby, but the fourth baby didn't dare to cry or hide, and looked at Lai timidly.

"Wow wow wow wow wow"

Ye Shiqi's sudden cry attracted Acer, and she was scolded by Lai Shi, a somewhat conscientious father.

Later, Ms. Lai came and left quietly. In fact, she only wanted to look through the clothes to see if Ms. Li had saved any private money.

I can't believe that Li went to the county town for a month and worked as an errand in a wealthy family. She didn't get any money, she only got some items.

Ye Shiqi's role here is to pretend to cry and act stupid. There is nothing in his father's room, and the only better clothes and shoes are hidden by her.

When night came, she would take out the two pictures and literacy books from under her buttocks. In fact, she was afraid that grandma would flip through them and put them into her space. Taking out the books from under her buttocks was just to hide people's gaze.

After a tiring day, Da Ya took her three younger sisters and her five children to read and read the picture literacy book under the oil lamp.

Acer stopped his carpentry work at night. This was the only time he could take a break. He would read and teach the children at the same time. He didn't know many words. He learned carpentry from his father and also learned a few words.

Drawing lines for woodworking is a trick that craftsmen must know.

"Why don't you go to bed quickly? Light the oil lamp for free!"

Often when they were fascinated and happiest, Lai's scolding would be heard from next door to them.

"Babys, go to sleep! I'm going to tell you a story today, and that's it. Let's continue tomorrow!" Hongji got tired while talking, and when he heard his mother's scolding, he obediently arranged for the children to sleep.

Da Ya took her sisters to sleep obediently. Before they fell asleep, they looked at the top of the mosquito net and told the stories their father told them in the book. If they were like the princesses in fairy tales, wouldn't they be as miserable as they are now?

Da Ya and her sisters did not voice their complaints. Their family's attitude towards female babies may be unique in the village.

But other families still treat boys better than girls. As girls, when treated by their elders, they tend to have low self-esteem and are hard-working.

…

Mrs. Li returned to the young master's yard in the Tang Mansion. The young master was sleeping uneasily and his face was a little red, which was a symptom of fever.

She could only wait on one side. After a day, the young master's fever subsided and he always clung to her.

After the young master recovered from his illness, Mrs. Li once again carried the young master to the eldest lady's yard.

"Ms. Li, I didn't expect the young master to be so clingy to you. What should I do? This is a once-a-month visit to relatives. I can't leave the young master behind in the future."

"Madam, visiting relatives once a month is the only opportunity for a young woman to see her babies. Don't you know! The babies at home are so pitiful. The oldest is eight years old, the youngest is only more than two months old, and the older one is

The three of them go out to work every day, rain or shine. When I'm not at home, so much work at home weighs on their little bodies."

Mrs. Li shed tears as she spoke.

The eldest lady, who is also a mother, frowned as she listened. As the wife of a rich family, she has not endured hardships, but she also knows that some poor families have it more difficult. She asked someone to investigate Li's family. The father and son should have a good reputation as carpenters.

With the income and the monthly income from Li's work, the family should live well.

"Your mother-in-law? Where are the two sisters-in-law at home? They are adults, how can they let a few little babies go out to do things?"

"They all stay at home..."

"This is too much of a deception. Where is your husband? Do you care if your family treats their children like this?"

"My husband is relatively filial, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law pay for my carpentry work at home."

"Ms. Li, you are just a servant. I can't treat you too well. I can only reward you with some things and money. Things will get better when the young master is older."

"yes……"

The eldest lady also asked people to give some things to Li, including cloth and cotton.

"Thank you, madam." When Mrs. Li saw these things, she thought of the children's winter clothes. Every year, the children try on thin things and often catch colds.

Mrs. Li took the things back to the yard and received many jealous looks.

She took the young master to the young mistress's yard again, but received a scolding from the young mistress.

The young mistress was sitting on a round chair in the hall, with a soft pillow leaning on her back, looking sternly at Mrs. Li who was holding the young master.

The maid held the young master in Mrs. Li's arms.

"Ms. Li, do you realize your mistake?"

"Young Mistress, Mrs. Li is wrong..." Mrs. Li guessed that she was responsible for what the Young Mistress said about the young master's fever.

"If you know you are wrong, you should correct it. The young master is still young, so why did he get fever after you went out? Did you not take him well? He was already feverish before you came home? You actually saw the young master having fever, and you insisted on going home regardless of him.

.”

"The young lady doesn't dare. The young lady did see the young master well before returning home. He was not awake at that time."

"You are still making excuses. When the maid reported that the young master had a fever, all the doors and windows in the young master's room were open. The weather started to get a little cooler. Why didn't you pay attention?"

"Young mistress, this is an injustice to the young lady. When the young lady left, the door of the young master's room was closed, and the window was only opened a little, but not all the doors and windows were open."

After listening to the young lady's words, Mrs. Li finally understood why the young master had a fever after she left. It turned out to be caused by catching a cold, but she couldn't understand why the doors and windows were open.

"Ms. Li, I thought you were very honest before, that's why I kept you around the young master. I didn't expect that not only did you not pay attention, but you still refuse to admit your sophistry. Everyone around the young master said that it was you who didn't pay attention.

It will cause the young master to have a fever."

"Young mistress, I asked the maid to take good care of the young master when I left. I am not trying to infer the responsibility. The young lady does feel that she has been wronged."

"Ms. Li, I don't have to take what one or two maids say seriously, but if everyone in the young master's yard says this, then it's your fault."

"Young mistress, whether this is a false accusation or not, the young master has a fever and the young woman is responsible. I will pay attention to it in the future." Ms. Li began to understand a little bit that she was alone and weak. This time someone deliberately framed her for injustice. Not only

All the people in the yard wanted her to go.

"Ms. Li, you said you made a mistake, how should I punish you? Then I'll punish you for what you care about most. I'll have one day of family holiday next month, and you won't be able to go back to visit your relatives. The young lady will send someone back to you for a monthly fee.
