Chapter Thirteen Busy in the morning

Jia Jincheng and the Xiang family originally favored sons over daughters and were obsessed with incest. They originally disliked their six daughters. After giving birth to a son, they became even more dissatisfied. Six daughters bundled together were not as good as one son. Jia You was spoiled.

Chuan Tie is lazy, greedy, domineering and ignorant, which is fine at home. Now as he gets older, he has become bad outside. Neighbors see Tian'er coming to ask for an explanation. Xiangshi is also a person who blindly defends his shortcomings, and relies on

With a fat body and a very loud voice, he could defeat many opponents in the nearby streets in both literary and martial arts. The mother and son joined forces and became the tyrant of Yanghua Lane.

The Jia family has six daughters. The daughters of the poor family are naturally different from the ladies in the family. They never touch the spring water. When Jia Dalian and Jia Erlian were at home, they would go out to sell noodles before dawn every day. If business was good, they would only return in the middle of the night.

At home, if the money brought back that day was short, Xiang would be beaten and scolded.

After Da Lian and Er Lian got married, Xiang originally wanted San Lian to take Si Lian, but only a mother and daughter from the Sun family came.

In order to steal business, he personally took Sanlian out to sell noodles (to bully others). After the wave of business in the morning market, he asked Silian to take over and Xiang went home to rest.

Sanlian is the most tiring person. She goes out to the stall early every day and goes home late every day. Sometimes her eyelids tremble with fatigue, but she has to cheer up to greet the guests. She has no choice but to get married in just a few days.

I'm afraid this burden will fall on Silian's shoulders in the future.

Jia Silian is not afraid of hard work, but is afraid of being married off by her parents for money. After all, she has lived through two lives. Although she only lived ten years old in her previous life and lived in a small mountain village, her father, who was an official,

He would come to see her every once in a while and teach her how to read. On the surface, she pretended to be unable to teach her, but in fact, she just wanted to use this stupid method to coax her father to visit her more often. But secretly, she

I have long been able to read books by myself.

So she came to this life with her memories. Although she was born in a poor family in Yanghua Lane, she was still literate and polite at heart. She couldn't stand the way her parents doted on her younger brother, and often tried to persuade her, even though she often got slapped by the Xiang family.

She is easy to scold or even hit, but she can't help but want to control her younger brother to correct his bad habits. Therefore, the Xiang family dislikes her the most in the family. Jia Jincheng likes that this daughter is extraordinarily sensible, but he is a man, and

She is always running around, but her son is the most important thing in her heart. I am afraid that Jia Silian's future marriage will still fall on Xiang's head!

Thinking of this, Jia Silian couldn't help but sigh, and slowly closed her eyes in the darkness. Listening to the sounds of the sisters' breathing of varying thickness, she fell into sleep little by little...

Early on the next morning, Sanlian got up first, lit a candle and quietly left the room. Silian heard a noise and opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing Sanlian's figure disappearing at the door, he looked again.

He tilted his head and fell asleep again, but he was woken up by Xiang's loud voice not long after.

"I'm going to beat you up, you lazy bitch. What time has it been? Why did you just get up... bang..."

It turned out that Sanlian got up late and was beaten by Xiang. Silian stood up and looked outside, but his eyes were filled with darkness. It was already winter, and he had to go at midnight if he wanted to get dawn. It was only just now.

It's not surprising that it was dark outside at that time.

Wu Lian, who was sleeping next to her, was also awakened. He sat up and heard Xiang's voice outside, and said with some panic,

"What's wrong?"

Si Lian whispered,

"Third sister must have gotten up late and was scolded by mother... You can go to sleep, I'll go help..."

After that, she put on her clothes and left the house. As soon as she got outside, she was hit by a gust of cold wind, which went down her neck. Si Lian went to the kitchen and saw San Lian preparing things for the stall. When she came,

a little surprised,

"Fourth sister, why are you here? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Si Lian responded,

"let me help you……"

After saying that, his eyes fell on her face, and the bright red patch on the right cheek was the mark of Xiang's slap. Seeing her eyes falling on her face, Sanlian smiled and said,

"It's okay. Mom is used to being beaten. If I don't let her, I won't be able to let it go for the rest of the day!"

Xiang's temper is so bad that she can't let it out in one breath. She will find faults all day long. It would be a good thing for her to give her a slap!

Si Lian pursed her lips and said nothing. She came over to help San Lian move the things in front of the courtyard. When Xiang Shi came out yawning and saw Si Lian, she was stunned, then looked at the sky outside, shrank her neck and shouted at

The two sisters shouted,

"Even if the Four Lotuses are up, let's follow the Three Lotuses today!"

Si Lian nodded,

"Okay, mother!"

Xiang snorted, retreated into the house, and closed the door with a bang. Upon seeing this, the two sisters picked up a load and left the house.

The Jia family set up a stall, with no shop and only a fixed place at the entrance of the alley. Since Xiang's mother and son were disgusting, no one at the entrance of the alley was willing to lend space to the Jia family to store tables, stools, stoves, etc., so every day

They must choose from home to the alley.

The two sisters, one behind the other, carried their burdens for a long distance before arriving at the alley entrance covered in sweat.

"Hello..."

Si Lian was already wearing thin clothes, so she didn't notice it as she was walking all the way. Now when she stopped, she was blown by the cold wind in the alley and couldn't help but sneeze. San Lian saw this and quickly put down his burden and said,

"I'll raise the fire quickly and warm myself up in front of the fire!"

The two sisters quickly set up the stall and raised the fire. Sanlian took her sister to the stove to warm herself.

"The soup will be ready later. You can have a bowl..."

Si Lian nodded and watched San Lian take out the broth that had been simmering on the fire last night. After putting it on the stove for a while, the solidified broth in the clay pot melted and turned into a pot of rolling milky white.

, waves of meaty aroma spread out, and Si Lian's stomach immediately began to growl. San Lian put in a spoon and stirred it, then filled a thick bowl with a bowl of soup and a small piece of bone.

"Drink it quickly, it won't make you cold anymore!"

Silian saw that there was a piece of meat on the small piece of pork bone, but she hesitated to take it.

"Third sister, if my mother finds out, she will definitely scold you!"

Xiang will carefully pick out the pork bones she buys every day to make soup, leaving no trace of meat residue. Even if there is some leftover, she plans to save it for herself until noon.

When I came over, I found that the number of meat and bones in the pot was wrong. Sanlian would definitely not be able to escape and get scolded.

Sanlian smiled and said,

"Don't be afraid, there are several bones here, she can't remember such a small one..."

Si Lian hesitated and took the bowl again and again.

"Let's eat together..."

Going out so early, neither of the sisters had eaten. They were both hungry and cold at this time. Just as the two sisters were huddled together by the stove to drink a bowl of bone soup, one bite at a time and the other gnawing on the meat on the bones, in the alley

Two more figures walked out, and the sound of footsteps was heard. Both of them were startled and looked back. When they saw each other's faces, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Sanlian smiled at each other,

"Aunt Sun..."

The mother and daughter opposite were thin in stature, with pretty features, but their complexions were a little sallow. Otherwise, they would have added two more colors. Then the widow of the Sun family breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was them two sisters.

,

"Fortunately it wasn't that evil woman who came here, otherwise I would have been insulted by her again early in the morning..."

The Sun family's mother and daughter are quite popular. An old couple at the alley saw that they were pitiful and lent them their yard to store tables and stools for free. At this time, they also got up and opened the courtyard door to help the mother and daughter move their things.

When they came out, the mother and daughter couldn't help but express their thanks. They also lit the fire and boiled the soup. The widow now kneaded the dough, cooked two bowls of noodles, and asked her daughter Sun Wan'er to send them to the old couple.

Sanlian saw this and whispered to Silian,

"Look, the Sun family's mother and daughter are very considerate in their conduct, so their neighbors are willing to help them..."

On the other hand, how can my own mother get along well with others if she only has her palms facing up and never facing down? If she doesn’t make good friends with others, how can she get help from others?

How come Mr. Xiang doesn’t know this truth?

Only the two bowls of noodles were made of copper coins. Apart from being generous to her mother-in-law and her son, Xiang was unable to get even a single coin out of her hand!

Si Lian nodded and said nothing. He always compares his money with others. He only cares about gains rather than losses. No one wants to deal with him!

Mrs. Xiang knew this truth in her heart, but she refused to admit her fault. She only hated the Sun family and her daughter for stealing the business. The old couple refused to lend her the courtyard to store tables and chairs for her. They were really overbearing and arrogant!

After the two sisters finished drinking the soup, Sanlian kneaded the dough on the table and prepared for the guests to come. After waiting for about half an hour, the sky was getting brighter and there were more people in the morning market, including vendors, merchants and petty officials.

Passing by the alley.

A porter sat at the noodle stall of Sun's mother and daughter,

"Cook a bowl of noodles, a big bowl!"

This kind of porter didn't have much money on his body, so he didn't know how to order the meat noodles. He only wanted a big bowl of plain noodles, which filled his stomach and allowed him to work. The Sun family and their daughter had their first business.

There was also a shop assistant who sat down and ordered a bowl of plain noodles. San Lian got busy, but Si Lian spooned a bowl of broth and brought it up first.

"Guest, please drink some soup to warm yourself up first!"

The salesman was very happy to see this and nodded in thanks.

Not long after, many customers began to sit on the stall, and the two sisters, mother and daughter of the Sun family became busy.

Three Lotus cooks the noodles, and Four Lotus serves the noodles. They put away the bowls and chopsticks first. When there are fewer guests, they free up their hands and start cleaning. The Sun family's mother and daughter will solicit business, with smiles on their faces and polite words.

, many customers like to go to their stall, but Jia’s place has been making it for a long time, and the soup stock contains Xiang’s exclusive secret recipe. Many old customers like to go to Jia’s noodle stall.
