Chapter 3 Encountering Beatings

Because she went out late in the morning, Tian Xiuyun endured hunger, hurriedly finished cutting the pigweed, gathered it in one place, and hurriedly rushed home on her back. At this time, most of the adults went to work, it was already late autumn, and not long after the autumn harvest ended, there was still a lot of work to be done in the field.

Back at home, Tian Xiuyun put down the pigweed and started to do other things. In this era, as long as they are not sick or disabled, almost all of them will choose to go to the production team to earn work, and if they do not go to work, then where will the food come from this year? In today's society, nothing is more important than food.

Especially like the Tian family, the generations belong to the poor peasants, although the composition is good, but often the poorer the more they like to give birth, the children of the poor family are easy to feed, even after the famine, the children and grandchildren of the Tian family can still be ranked in the village, and naturally the burden in the family is heavier. There are five boys in the big house and two rooms, and there are two uncles in the town, plus a younger brother in his own family, so many grandchildren, and he will marry a daughter-in-law to build a house in the future, which is all a problem.

Otherwise, in her previous life, she would not have bought her to make up money because she married a daughter-in-law to her third cousin, and later Tian Xiuyun also inquired in private, except for the daughter of the uncle's family, the other families were more or less married by the way because of the bride price, especially the two younger sisters of their own family, who were more or less married to people with good family backgrounds, but the men were all the kind of people who couldn't marry their daughters-in-law because of various problems.

Now the lobby brother Tian Hongsheng of the uncle's family got married two years ago and has no children, and the second cousin Tian Hongliang also got married at the beginning of this year. The third cousin Tian Hongwu is not young, but because he doesn't learn and can't do anything, he is not like the second cousin, he got engaged early, and when he was old, he got married naturally. Tian Hongzheng, the fourth cousin of the second uncle's family, is only 17 this year, although he has not yet decided to marry, but he is shrewd and capable, and some people have already expressed their willingness to marry the fourth cousin in private.

Now the third cousin is running around every day, offending many people, and there is no girl in the nearby Shili Eight Village who is willing to marry him. Even if there is a willingness, it must be the kind where the bride price is particularly high, almost a family that sells daughters.

If you don't get busy, not only will you not be able to pay off the famine of the production team at the end of the year, but you will have to tighten your belt next year to save money to pay off your debts and prepare for the marriage of your third cousin.

"Bump~" When Tian Xiuyun was still lamenting the burdens of the Tian family, she suddenly heard a collision sound in the yard, and after a while, there was another cry.

"Wow, wow~~ It hurts!" Tian Xiuyun hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and saw her younger brother Tian Hongpeng rolling in the yard, who was 11 years old this year, but he was used to being lawless by Tian's father, he would cry like this, and when the adults came back, he couldn't tell again.

"What's the matter?" Tian Xiuyun asked Tian Hongwei, the second cousin of the second uncle's family on the side, knowing in her heart that this second cousin was the most honest, and now that her brother was so noisy, he couldn't ask about it.

"Well, I was hit by the flat pole standing by the door. Tian Hongwei Nunu mouthed, and he didn't look down on his cousin who was only a few years younger than him, wasn't he just smashed his foot, as for rolling around the yard in pain, he didn't feel like a gentleman at all.

Hearing this reason, Tian Xiuyun didn't know what to say, so she had to step forward and drag her brother up, unconsciously forgetting that she was not a 15-year-old girl at the moment, but shouted to her younger brother like an adult: "Hurry up, see what it looks like, isn't it just a smash, just rub it, it's worth rolling on the ground?"

Tian Xiuyun doesn't have much affection for this younger brother in her heart, mainly because Tian Hongpeng's personality is the same as Zhao Chunmei, he will always be at home, and he has been pampered by Tian Xueren since he was a child, although he is only 11 years old, he has grown crooked.

"Tian Xiuyun, you money-loser, you dare to drag me, see my dad come back, I won't let him kill you. Tian Hongpeng saw his eldest sister talking about himself so ruthlessly, and dragged him up from the ground, screaming and scolding angrily for a while.

Tian Xiuyun pursed her lips and didn't speak, just blindly pulled him to the door to pat the dust on his body, fortunately, the rain stopped for several days, and the ground was dry ash, otherwise it might not be buried, but in his heart, he did feel a little embarrassed about the threat in his brother's mouth, but he didn't show it well, in the end, he thought of his current identity.

When it was time for lunch, the adults in the family came back from work one after another, and at this time, Tian Xiuyun had already prepared lunch with the help of her two younger sisters. As for the other girls in the family, one is Tian Xiulian, the lobby sister of the second uncle's family, who got married a few years ago. One is Tian Xiufen, the second cousin of the uncle's family, who is only one year older than Tian Xiuyun, and has long started to work in the fields with the family. As for the other is Tian Xiufang, the lobby sister of the second uncle's family, although she is only a few months old, because she is the granddaughter who looks most like Grandma Tian, and she has a sweet mouth when she is young, the family is more tolerant of her, so she can go out to play at will. She is also the only one in her previous life, even if she was married off because of the high bride price, but the family she married to was a family with better conditions and a more normal partner.

As for the two cousins and one cousin of the uncle's family, because they live in the town all the year round, they rarely see each other, so Tian Xiuyun doesn't know much about them. The three cousins of the younger uncle's family are living very well on the outsider.

Tian Xiuyun led her sisters to bring all the meals to the hall, and returned to the courtyard, fetching water and waiting for the family to wash their hands and faces, before being sent aside to be on standby, full of maid appearance, but it was the normal life of her previous life.

It's just that Tian Xiuyun lowered her head and waited for her family to clean up and go into the house to eat together, but she missed Tian Hongpeng's smug eyes, and saw that Zhao Chunmei and his wife had just followed their son back to the house on the front foot, ready to change their clothes, and after a while, they walked out angrily and went straight to Tian Xiuyun.

Seeing a snap, Tian Xueren kicked Tian Xiuyun with his right foot, Zhao Chunmei was not willing to lag behind, stepped forward and picked up Tian Xiuyun's hair, opened the bow left and right and slapped it several times, only to beat Tian Xiuyun dizzy.

"Death loser, what are you, dare to bully your brother, believe it or not, I'll sell you into the ravine right away, no one is humane. Zhao Chunmei scolded while beating, and Tian Xueren stood aside after kicking it, looking at it coldly.

Tian Xiuyun was a little confused when she was beaten, it happened too suddenly, and she had no strength because she had a fever, so she could only let Zhao Chunmei beat and scold herself, but she also knew in her heart that this was probably Tian Hongpeng's complaint to his parents.

"Okay, what does it look like, I don't go to eat yet, I still don't want to eat. It wasn't until Zhao Chunmei scolded for a while that Tian Maocai, who was the head of the family, spoke out to organize his daughter-in-law.

"Get out of the way, don't think about eating at noon. Zhao Chunmei had to stop because of the majesty of her father-in-law, but she still didn't plan to let Tian Xiuyun go, and directly deprived her of the right to lunch.

"Hmph, let you drag me, you deserve it, lose money. Tian Hongpeng walked in front of Tian Xiuyun who was lying on the ground with a villainous look, and did not forget to make a smug face at her.

And the people who were originally standing in the courtyard and watching the play indifferently also went back to the hall to eat one after another, and Tian Xiuyun's two younger sisters hid in the kitchen since Tian Xiuyun was beaten.

"Hehe~" Tian Xiuyun struggled to prop herself up from the ground, shook her head, felt dizzy, and then smiled mockingly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, fortunately, just because she was beaten suddenly, she accidentally bit her cheek.

In the face of relatives who watched the play indifferently, and the merciless fists and feet of her parents, Tian Xiuyun's heart had already seen through. This is not the first time that I have been beaten because of my younger brother's false accusation, and I blame myself for being stupid today, after being away from home for so many years, once I was reborn and came back, I forgot what Tian Hongpeng's nature was like.

But in my heart, I still can't help but feel cold about the behavior of my two sisters, in my previous life, as the eldest sister, I was often scolded, and I often did things for the two sisters, so that they could be like the cousins of the second uncle's family, they could be more relaxed, even if they married later, and learned that the two sisters were also married to non-people, they often secretly relieved, even if they were found by Widow Zhao and beaten up, they never regretted it.

But today's sudden beating and scolding, coupled with the fact that she is no longer a simple 15-year-old girl, has a soul in her forties. The moment she was kicked to the ground, she didn't miss the strange but indifferent eyes of her two younger sisters. She had the impression that these two younger sisters had always been cowardly, but in fact they were not, and it was no wonder that in such an extremely patriarchal family, who could really show that.

Even Tian Xiuping, a 9-year-old little sister, can already see her selfish and indifferent nature. Now the adults have gone into the house to eat, but the two younger sisters hiding in the kitchen still do not appear.

Tian Xiuyun shook her head, she felt that there was nothing to care about, everyone was selfish, even if she had expectations for them at the beginning, but it turned out that people should be realistic in life, and no one had to respond to others' contributions, it was just that she didn't figure it out before.
