Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Nowadays, Chai Mi felt she no longer had that "conscience" to do the kind of snow-in-snow deeds.

"Conscience" had vanished with her previous life's memories.

But doing something like adding fuel to the fire was exactly what Chai Mi wanted!

"Then come back to cook... I'm in a good mood today, so let's both go to the village shop to buy something tasty, and swing by Second Uncle's house on the way."

Chai Xiu was a bit confused, because those two places weren't on the way at all... and it seemed to fit that idiom "going south while driving north." The village shop was at the east end of the village, while Chai You Fu's house was basically at the west end; no matter how you looked at it, there was no way it was on the way...

But Chai Xiu didn't dare defy her sister; whatever Chai Mi said went.

Sister said it was on the way, so it was on the way...

So Chai Mi and her younger sister Chai Xiu simply tidied up a bit and went out.

Chai Xiu looked at Chai Mi wearing slippers and felt her sister was a bit... not very refined, so she reminded her: "Sis, why are you wearing slippers? People will gossip if they see you."

"What gossip?" Chai Mi was stunned.

"I mean, why is your head full of those feudal customs? It's hot weather, I've got nothing to do, so I'm not wearing slippers—should I put on cotton shoes and wrap myself up instead?"

"That's not what I mean. Didn't Mom say you should dress more formally when going out? You can wear sandals."

"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't Mom say not to let you watch the excitement? But when Second Uncle and his wife were fighting, you still dragged me to watch the excitement." Chai Mi's mouth curled slightly, a little dissatisfied with Chai Xiu's thinking: "You can't listen to Mom for everything. Sometimes, no matter who it is, they're not necessarily right, including me, your Eldest Sister—I might say or do wrong things sometimes too. You need to have your own opinions."

"Oh..."

Chai Mi couldn't help but recall her previous life; Chai Xiu was a girl with no opinions, timid, and especially shy.

Although she had changed a little now, the change was still very small.

"Though the saying 'a person not acting for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth' is wrong, it suits you very well. Xiu'er, from now on have some opinions; don't think everything is right just because someone says so. Understand?" Chai Mi instructed.

Chai Xiu shook her head: "Going by what you say, Sister, then I can't listen to this sentence of yours..."

Chai Mi laughed helplessly: "Hehe..."

"I've learned to draw analogies..."

"Cut the crap, hurry up."

Chai Mi led Chai Xiu from home, around a few turns, and arrived at Chai You Fu's doorstep.

It was now evening, the most comfortable time of day; most households were cooking, and the village's curling cooking smoke, together with the corn swaying in the evening breeze in the fields, accompanied by bird calls and insect chirps.

How pleasant it was...

If it weren't for a few orioles calling under the big willow tree at Chai You Fu's door...

"No money, what to do, no money, what to do, no money, what to do..."

The scene would be even more harmonious.

Actually Chai Mi didn't know if it was an oriole calling; maybe it was a turtledove or a cuckoo.

Mm, a cuckoo was more likely, after all a cuckoo's call is four notes, while an oriole seems to be two.

But that thing was idle and stupid, and stood especially high up, so it couldn't be seen clearly.

Of course, no one was idle enough to go look at birds.

It was up in the tree, calling: "No money, what to do..."

Mm, the tone was especially similar.

The two sisters hid under the big willow tree; Chai Mi pointed to the treetop: "Xiu'er, hear that? Even the cuckoo knows life is bitter, always 'no money, what to do, no money, what to do.' From now on we have to earn more money."
