Chapter 19 Jealousy.

Tian Sisi didn't hear it, thinking that if Zhu Qingping was smart, he wouldn't call her again. But this Zhu Qingping had given birth to the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Tian family, and she also thought that Tian Sisi was just a child. As her sister-in-law, she assigned her younger sister to do the work. Naturally, and because Tian Sisi has not behaved as aloof as usual these days, Zhu Qingping's little thoughts started to stir. Therefore, there are always many people in the world who cannot recognize their own identity and think too highly of themselves. Zhu Qingping is such a person.

When Zhu Qingping saw that Tian Sisi didn't respond, he simply slapped Tian Sisi on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Ana, if the cow wants to eat the melon seeds, you can peel them for him."

Tian Sisi has a delicate body, while Zhu Qingping has been doing farm work in the fields for many years and has a lot of strength. This shot took six or seven points of force. Tian Sisi was caught off guard and was immediately shot out of the stool by Zhu Qingping., and fell headfirst to the ground. Tian Xinhua next to him was so frightened that he got up and grabbed Tian Sisi, but he didn't have time. Fortunately, Tian Qinghua on the other side squatted down subconsciously, and Tian Sisi bumped into Tian Qinghua.

"Ouch!" The two of them fell to the ground together. Tian Sisi was dizzy from the fall. Tian Qinghua was fine because of his rough skin and thick flesh. He got up without anyone's help. Tian Xinhua hurriedly helped his cousin up and asked with concern: "Ana, are you okay? Where did you fall?"

After hearing what her cousin said, Tian Sisi shook her head, but she felt aggrieved inexplicably. Tears welled up in her eyes. The others were also startled. Seeing that Tian Sisi's face was pale and she didn't say a word, Li Yuedi thought she was frightened, so she hurriedly rubbed her forehead with her hands and said, "Don't be afraid, grandma is not afraid! Er Niangniang can just touch her and it will be fine."

Li Yuedi's hand was so strong that it made Tian Sisi's head hurt when she rubbed it. She struggled and shouted, "Second Lady, you made my head hurt when you rubbed it."

Tian Xinhua chuckled after hearing this. It would be fine if he could speak. He had been frightened just now, but his sister-in-law was really shameless. Grandma was only a little older, how could she withstand her iron sand palm? Besides, if your son wants to eat melon seeds, why would you assign Grandma to peel them? Tian Xinhua is a very protective person. Although he always ridicules Tian Sisi, he cannot be bullied by others. Of course, Zhu Qingping is also one of these people.

Li Yuedi let go and saw Tian Sisi's forehead was red, and smiled sheepishly. Tian Sisi was actually fine. It was just that the pain under Li Yuedi's iron palm made her eyes red again, but in Li Yuedi's eyes, Tian Sisi was wronged.

She snorted coldly at Zhu Qingping and waited to deal with this granddaughter-in-law. When she was first married, this granddaughter-in-law seemed to be fine, honest, hard-working, and didn't talk much. But since she gave birth to Niu Niu, her true nature has been exposed. However, under the suppression of her and the old man, she didn't dare to go too far. For the sake of her grandson and great-grandson, she just slapped her a few words from time to time without any heavy punishment.

But she didn't expect that she would become so cowardly that she would dare to hit someone? It was A-nan who was hit. It was Qinghua who reacted quickly and caught the person. A-nan was the eyeball of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. What would the eldest brother and sister-in-law think if A-nan fell out at home?

Zhu Qingping also didn't expect that the consequences of her slap would be so serious. Seeing everyone gathered around Tian Sisi to greet her, she couldn't help but feel jealous and hateful. They were both from the same daughter's family, so why were their lives so different? She had been doing endless work since she was a child, was scolded endlessly, had the worst food, and wore the shabbiest clothes. She only wore new clothes when she got married.

But Tian Sisi has never worn patched clothes. She wears new clothes every year, dresses up beautifully, always has endless food in her pockets, never has to work, and everyone in the family dotes on her without saying a harsh word.

Ever since she got married, what Zhu Qingping felt most deeply was her husband's cousin. I heard that she was not even a biological child of the Tian family. How could a bastard whose parents didn't want him compare to her? Why does she, Zhu Qingping, have to face the loess and back to the sky all day long?

How could Tian Sisi know that Zhu Qingping would have such a big opinion against her? She also whispered to Li Yuedi: "Er Niangniang, I'm fine."

After such an incident, Tian Sisi was not in the mood to stay any longer. After sitting for a while, she left and went home. Li Yuedi did not stay with her, and ordered Tian Xinhua to send A'nan and the others home. She would have to straighten out the family tradition if she stayed for a while!

When he came out, Rhubarb sniffed Tian Sisi again as usual. Seeing that he didn't smell the sweet fragrance, he snorted and went back to sleep without even shaking them off. Tian Xinhua was happy to see Tian Sisi's whole body stiffened, "Look at how useless you are. Rhubarb has been staying in our house for two years, what else is there to be afraid of?"

Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at him and refused to speak to him. Halfway there, Tian Sisi thought for a moment and took out three pieces of beef jerky, which were the leftovers she had eaten in the space last night. She stuffed a piece into each person's mouth. Donghua and Qinghua chewed a few mouthfuls, their eyes lit up, and they immediately speeded up, chewed the jerky and swallowed it.

Tian Xinhua found out that it was dried meat. His third brother (Tian Chaohua) had sent it back before. Third brother was a soldier in Xinjiang and the dried meat was produced there. However, Grandma’s dried meat tasted better. It was probably because the dried meat from his third uncle (Tian Aiguo) had a different taste. Tian Xinhua thought that the dried meat was brought by Tian Aiguo.

Soon they arrived at the door of Tian's house. Tian Manyin heard the noise and came out to pick him up. Tian Xinhua called "fourth uncle". Tian Manyin asked him to come in and sit for a while. Tian Xinhua refused with a smile. He was not a shy person. It was getting late now, and the uncle and the eldest lady must have gone to bed.

Tian Sisi reminded him from behind: "Brother Xinhua, don't forget to call me tomorrow!"

Tian Xinhua agreed with a smile, then turned back to the farm. Tian Manyin asked his daughter, "What do you want your brother Xinhua to do tomorrow?"

"Go up the mountain to pick up wild rabbits. A white monkey told me in my dream last night that I should go to the mountains to pick wild rabbits tomorrow." Tian Sisi kept getting more and more distracted as she talked.

She also suddenly remembered that my mother had mentioned in her previous life that there was a legend about a white ape in Yuequan Mountain. It seemed that the white ape attained enlightenment and became an immortal in Yuequan Mountain. Anyway, later on, Yuequan Village relied on this legend to greatly develop its tourism industry. A White Ape Temple was built on the mountain and the incense was quite prosperous.

Just now at the second grandpa's house, she casually made up a reason for dreaming. Now that she thought about it, this reason was very good. If she put everything on the white ape, no one would doubt it, but things were completely different from what she expected.

When Tian Manyin heard what his daughter said, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the courtyard door and pulled the three children into the room.

"You girl, how can you say such nonsense? What kind of white monkey? You can't say that again in the future."

What's going on? Shouldn't Tian Manyin bow three times to the sky and thank the gods for their help? Tian Si was confused.

"What can't you say?" Mrs. Zhao was very surprised after hearing her son's words.

Tian Manyin repeated what Tian Sisi had just said, which frightened Mrs. Zhao into chanting Buddha twice, "Hey, dear, listen to your father. You can't say these words anymore, otherwise our family will be in trouble."

Only then did Tian Sisi remember that it was 1972, the era of breaking down the Four Olds and fighting against feudalism. It was also an era when paper money could not be burned even when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival. Like the white monkey's words she just said about dreaming, it would indeed bring trouble in this era. Not to mention anything else, just the big hat of feudal superstition will crush you.

But this reason can't be wasted. She didn't plan to go out and say it anyway. Tian Sisi pouted and whispered: "But I really dreamed of the white monkey. It asked me to go to the mountain to pick up rabbits tomorrow. It also said that it liked me and would give me many good things in the future!"

Seeing that his granddaughter was talking seriously, Mr. Tian looked serious. He knew the legend of the White Ape. When he was a child, he often heard the old people in the village say that there was a White Ape Temple on the mountain at that time. There used to be an old monk living in the temple. But since the old monk died, the temple lost its popularity and collapsed before liberation. In addition, now that superstition has been eradicated, there are probably not many young people in the village who know the legend of the White Ape.
