Tian Jing teased her with a smile, "It's good to combine two good things into one. If you are better, your eldest brother and your mother will not worry about you anymore, right?"
"Well, I will definitely live a good life." Li Min nodded affirmatively.
Tian Jing didn't believe it, but she couldn't attack her. After all, the marriage change was a certainty.
She didn't want to go back to Tian's house, and Li Min also wanted to get out of this mountain that was only dangerous to her.
"Mrs. Tian, you love to hear good things. It's not enough just to coax her. You also need to let her see you doing things. When you do things, you can't do them secretly. You want her to see your hard work."
"If someone else assigns work to you, don't make a fuss. Let her see the work you do. If you continue to do other people's work, you should also unintentionally let her know that you are doing someone else's work."
"It's not that you are stealing the work, it's that others are not following her arrangements and ignoring her orders. Of course, you can't say this directly, you have to let her experience it for herself."
"It's so difficult." Li Min felt that the difficulty was too high.
"When you feel difficult and don't know what to do, just learn from Zhang Fangcao. How she behaves calmly in front of you makes you burst into tears of gratitude to her."
Tian Jing never forgets to remind Li Min of his stupidity. However, if Li Min can learn some tricks from Zhang Fangcao, it will not be in vain that he has been played by others for so many years.
"Okay." Li Min nodded vigorously, "I will carefully recall how Zhang Fangcao spoke in front of me."
Her mother just said that if she learned half as much as Zhang Fangcao, she would be like a fish in water in the Tian family. She must face her own stupidity.
Tian Jing gave her an appreciative look and said, "Uncle Tian is almost a true copy of Old Man Tian. You should pay more attention and carefully protect yourself while also trying to catch him as much as possible."
"It's inconvenient for you on official business. Please pay more attention to his small family, such as the small treasury and so on. If you find anything, tell Tian Laoer immediately."
"Tian Yongyi is not as non-competitive as he appears. He wants to rob, but as the second child, he has no position when the boss has not made any mistakes."
"You can't talk to Tian Yongyi alone. You have to bring Tian Lifu with you. He is not willing to be ordinary, and talking to the father-in-law in secret will have a bad influence."
Li Min nodded vigorously, her sister-in-law was sincerely teaching her.
"... Finally, there is the third aunt Zhang Mei. She is Mrs. Tian's cousin. She is of the same mind as Mrs. Tian and has deep thoughts. She must not discover your little tricks."
"Then there is Tian Lixiang. This kid is delicious and worships the strong. It should be said that he bullies the weak and fears the strong. You have to win over him, but you can't fawn over him. If you have good cooking skills, you may be able to win over his heart."
"In the end, of course Tian Li got rich. He is a male chauvinist. You have to rely on him for everything. You can win face for him, but you can't outshine him."
"Actually, this person is easy to deal with. If you discover the secrets of the uncle's family, or the strategy you want to send to Old Man Tian, you should discuss it with him first."
"Coax him with good words and make him feel that you cannot do without his protection. Even if you have some abilities, you must rely on him to survive."
"Secretly guide him to think along your lines, making him think that everything you do is arranged by him."
"If you find this difficult, please refer to Zhang Fangcao. Didn't she coax her husband and parents-in-law?"
"Although she lied about your eldest brother's health, she was able to coax her husband. The incident happened yesterday, and until now, I haven't heard of her being beaten or scolded, right?"
"Yeah, yeah." Li Min nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. She must carefully recall Zhang Fangcao's expression and tone.
"alright."
Tian Jing finished saying everything he could and could not say, and he fulfilled yesterday's promise, "Go and cook quickly, are there no rice or noodles at home?"
"Well, just some sweet potatoes from the cellar."
Li Min couldn't help but think of yesterday, when Tian Jing said that he would bring her in to fend for herself.
The food that was distributed after the autumn harvest at home was gone and most of it was returned to other families.
From winter to summer harvest, I either borrowed from the production team or continued to borrow from the village. I seemed very selfish.
"Steamed pumpkin." Tian Jing waved her hand, "Wash some sweet potatoes and make sweet potato vermicelli in the afternoon. We will eat boiled pork liver tonight and stewed pork tomorrow."
As she said that, Tian Jing felt like her saliva was drooling.
"Sweet potato vermicelli? What is that?" Li Min had never heard of sweet potato vermicelli.
"Oh, don't you know if you do it? Make the starch first in the afternoon."
Tian Jing knows that food is tight now, especially in remote mountain villages like Kushan where the harvest is poor. She has never heard that sweet potato vermicelli is normal.
Moreover, the craftsmanship at this time was strictly guarded, and there were very few people who knew how to do it.
"Can I learn?" Li Min asked in surprise. Is this what the sister-in-law meant?
"Of course. If you don't do it together, why don't you let me suffer alone?"
Li Min happily bent down and picked up a pumpkin, then went to the kitchen to cook, forgetting about his own mother.
Tian Jing helped Li's mother get out of bed, "Go in, it's been too long in the sun."
"Thank you, Tiantian, thank you for teaching Minmin carefully."
Mother Li sincerely thanked her. She was about to give up educating her daughter. Who knew that Tian Jing could still turn her around.
Not only did Tian Jing not blame her daughter, she also taught her carefully.
"You're welcome, I hope she can live a good life in the Tian family, lest she regret it in the future and come back to blame me and her eldest brother."
Tian Jing is telling the truth. In her opinion, the Tian family is a pit of fire. Although the Li family is poor, their population is simple.
Regardless of whether Li Min's purpose of changing her marriage was for herself or her elder brother, although before coming to the Li family, she had some complaints against the Li family based on her memory.
But after two days of contact, she thought a simple family like the Li family would be better.
Especially Nakushan, and Li Zhengguo's willingness to give her free space, these are much better than her being married to any family by the Tian family.
Maybe when she went to another house, she would have to be alert in the middle of the night so as not to be taken advantage of. Thinking about this, she felt that Li Zhengguo's character was not bad.
"Alas~"
Mother Li sighed deeply. The marriage exchange was arranged by her daughter herself. Although Zhang Fangcao's handwriting was involved, the introducer was the sister-in-law. No one knew whether she deliberately chose the Tian family.
The husband went hunting with the strong men in the team and came back injured. When he investigated the cause, he found out that it was because his cousin Accountant Li, Zhang Fangcao's father-in-law, disobeyed orders and showed off his bravery.
The eldest brother and the second brother wanted to find an explanation, but the husband did not agree, which made the eldest brother and the second brother not very happy. After the husband passed away, he moved around less and less.
When Zheng Guo came back lame and Zhang Fangcao broke off the engagement and entered the cousin's house, his eldest sister-in-law and his second sister-in-law came together to ask for an explanation.
But Zhengguo didn't agree. The eldest brother and the second brother's family never came to the door again, and the relationship seemed to be broken.
