The fierce peasant wife came to make a fortune

Chapter 3 Second Uncle

"Second Sister, Second Sister, wake up!" Miao Yanzi was soundly asleep when she was shaken awake by the two little guys.

"What's the matter?" Miao Yanzi rubbed her eyes and asked her two anxious siblings.

"Brother is gone!" Miao Xiaoque said in a crying voice.

Only then did Miao Xiaoyan look at the outermost bed, which was empty.

Miao Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly woke up.

It's just dawning this day, where can this Miao Dafu go?Could it be that he couldn't bear the pressure of life and committed suicide?
"Second sister, do you think elder brother has gone to find his mother?" Miao Xiaobao also cried and asked.

"No! No! Big brother won't leave us alone!" Miao Xiaoyan comforted, feeling a little flustered. Miao Dafu wouldn't leave this mess to himself, would he?
A few people were worrying when the low door outside the yard rang, and Miao Dafu's footsteps, one high and one low, sounded.

Several people hurriedly got out of bed and ran out of the yard.

"Brother!" Miao Xiaoque and Miao Xiaobao threw themselves on Miao Dafu and cried, "We thought you didn't want us anymore."

"Fool! How could I leave you behind!" Miao Dafu smiled bitterly while touching the heads of his younger siblings.

Miao Xiaoyan glanced at the firewood on Miao Dafu's back, it turned out to be chopping firewood!Miao Xiaoyan also walked out of the yard to help Miao Dafu put the firewood on the ground.

"Brother, why did you go up the mountain so early? You didn't say anything beforehand, we were so worried!" Miao Xiaoyan complained.

"I see that you are sleeping soundly, and I don't have the heart to wake you up."

"Brother, isn't there still firewood available in the firewood room?" Miao Xiaoyan asked. They don't need to cook now, and the water is cold, so they don't need firewood at all.

"I want to chop more firewood, and then sell it in the city." Miao Dafu said, without them, there is no land to grow, so I can only see if I can sell some firewood for food.

Originally, Miao Dafu worked as an apprentice in a carpenter's shop in the county, with food and lodging included, but there was no wages. Later, the carpenter's shop's business was sluggish, and Miao Dafu returned home.

"Brother" Miao Xiaoyan looked at the 16-year-old Miao Dafu who was still lame, and felt endlessly sad for his younger siblings who went up the mountain to cut firewood before dawn.

Miao Xiaoyan swears secretly in her heart that even if she doesn't know anything, she will try her best to let the family live a good life!
"Brother, take me with you when you go up the mountain!" Miao Xiaoyan put away the sadness in her heart and said to her brother with a smile.

"Okay!" Miao Dafu replied with a smile. In the past, the second younger sister would occasionally go up the mountain with her father to collect firewood, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Brother, we're going too!" Miao Xiaoque and Miao Xiaobao also shouted.

"You guys, just stay at home obediently!" Miao Xiaoyan said to the two of them.

"Yes, going up the mountain is very tiring, you can't go." Miao Dafu also said.

"Okay." Seeing that the elder brother had spoken, the two had no choice but to pout their mouths in response.

"Dafu—"

The second uncle leaned on a crutch and shouted outside the courtyard.

"Second Uncle!" Miao Dafu hurriedly walked outside the courtyard and helped Second Uncle into the house.

"Second Uncle!" Xiao Que and Xiao Bao called out obediently.

"Second Uncle!" Miao Xiaoyan also called out.

In Miao Xiaoyan's memory, this person they called Second Uncle was actually their own grandfather, and the original owner's father was Second Uncle's own son.

At that time, the big house was Miao Dafu's grandfather, who had not had children for many years, but the second uncle had three sons and two daughters. Later, Miao Dafu's great-grandfather decided to adopt the second uncle's youngest son, Miao Dafu's father. He gave it to Dafang and named him Miao Daidi, hoping that he could bring heirs to Dafang.
