MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields

As for Niuma Yinle, she touched her nose in embarrassment, wondering if she should tell her sister-in-law such a cruel reality.

 Forget it, let’s not talk about it.

Master said that it is no longer easy for ordinary people to live. Understanding the underlying operating logic of this dynasty will only deepen their pain for those who cannot change their own predicament.

"Sleep, sister-in-law. If you don't sleep, you won't get up tomorrow to see where I work." Yin Le said deliberately.

Sister-in-law Yin nodded quickly. After hearing what her sister-in-law said, she was more curious about what the situation was like in the stationery factory and didn't want to miss it.

So they blew out the candles, and the sister-in-law huddled together and closed their eyes to sleep.

Sister-in-law Yin felt that she had not slept for long when there was a rustling movement beside her.

  She always slept lightly and had to worry about family affairs, so she would wake up whenever there was any movement outside.

 Slowly I opened my eyes and found a blurry black figure of someone getting up and getting dressed in the dimness.

“Sister-in-law, please sleep a little longer. I’ll call you when I finish the morning exercises arranged by Master.” Yin Le warned in a low voice.

Sister-in-law Yin asked curiously: "Morning exercise?"

Yin Le hummed and explained in a low voice, "Master said that you should practice three days in the summer and three nines in the winter. The key to practicing martial arts is persistence, and you must not slack off."

Sister-in-law Yin suddenly remembered that her sister-in-law was here to learn martial arts.

Out of curiosity, Sister-in-law Yin also got up and wanted to go and have a look. The sister-in-law quickly packed up their clothes and went out before dawn.

During the coldest season, Sister-in-law Yin added an extra cotton-padded jacket from her sister-in-law, but she was still shivering from the cold mountain wind.

I looked up and saw my sister-in-law, who was wearing only two jackets. She was carrying two triangular cone-bottomed wooden buckets, stepping on the slippery frozen snow. She was walking as fast as flying. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared within the range of the lantern.

Oh, by the way, this lantern is used to light her way. In the middle of the night, when she couldn't see her fingers, her sister-in-law's eyes seemed to be able to see, and she accurately avoided every stone that could trip her up.

 “Sister-in-law, walk slowly.” With these words, Yin Le ran towards the well in the village.

She had to use the two new buckets that were more difficult to fetch water, and tried to fill the three large water tanks at home within half an hour.

  The new wooden barrel was specially designed by Qin Yao from Carpenter Liu. The bamboo and rattan pieces at the bottom used to tighten the wooden board were made very loose and leaked.

Had it not been for Qin Yao's intervention, Carpenter Liu wouldn't have dared to smash his own sign with a bucket.

Soon Yin Le fetched two buckets of water, carried them, and ran past Sister-in-law Yin who had just walked onto the bridge. A gust of cold wind blew up and messed up Sister-in-law Yin's broken hair on the temples.

In the blink of an eye, there was a sound of wind rushing down from the mountain, and it flashed in front of Sister Yin's eyes. She was so frightened that she screamed, almost thinking she had seen a ghost.

 “Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid, it’s me!”

Yin Le's apologetic explanation came from afar. Sister-in-law Yin was shocked. Her frail sister-in-law had become so aggressive?

Unable to follow her sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Yin simply found a shelter from the wind, holding a lantern and silently watching the wind-like woman running back and forth between the village well and Qin Yao's house.

 My head moved to the left and to the right for a while, and my neck, which was originally a little sore, miraculously eased a lot after turning around all morning.

There was a faint light on the horizon, and Yin Le finally filled three water tanks at home.

Li and Awang also got up. One prepared the meal, and the other took Da Lang out of bed and went to the backyard to practice martial arts.

There was gradually a sound of busyness in the house. Sister-in-law Yin followed her sister-in-law back to the courtyard and was about to ask her if she was tired. In a blink of an eye, someone had already picked up the heavy ax and went to the woodshed.

Amidst the sound of chopping firewood, Mr. Yin and Brother Yin woke up from sleep. Mrs. Li prepared breakfast for the guests and then left to work.

Mr. Yin looked around and said, "Ah Yue, don't you need to ask your master and master to have dinner with them?" They are the only ones having breakfast. Isn't this inappropriate?

Yin Le sat down, picked up the scroll with one hand and chewed it, waved it with the other hand, and explained vaguely:

"Don't worry about Master and the others, let's eat what we have. Everyone in the family has different meal times, so let's eat first."

Seeing that his family members were still hesitant to take action, Yin Le urged: "Eat quickly, I won't be able to get to work in time."

When Song Yu went out in the morning, she had already reported in advance that she would take her family to the factory to observe the matter today. Manager Song only allowed one hour because she was pressed for time.

Seeing this, everyone in the Yin family had no choice but to pick up the delicate breakfast and eat it anxiously.

 The food is delicious if you eat it carefully. Apart from being expensive, it has no shortcomings. Mr. Yin and his son, who usually eat pretty well at home, couldn't help but eat more.

　　You can eat refined grains for breakfast. Mr. Yin has already believed most of what his daughter said. She really eats better here than at home.

After filling his stomach, Yin Le immediately led his family to the stationery factory.

On the way from the village, there were all the villagers who were as hasty as Yin Le and whose eyes were full of hope.

 The people were walking to the stationery factory in small groups, chatting and laughing. There were both men and women. If you counted carefully, there were more women than men.

 Why this is so, we have to start with the corvee system in Shengguo.

"Men are always scheduled to do corvee work once or twice a year, and it can take as little as half a month or as many as three months at a time. Including the time spent on the round trip, the delay is even more, so most women in the village will take over the work at home. The man came to the stationery factory and continued working."

Mr. Yin asked out of curiosity: "Are the monthly wages of men and women the same?" After all, men and women are different. What a man can do, a woman may not be able to do well.

Yin Le said with a smile: "It depends on one's ability. Everyone is good at different things, and the wages for different jobs are also different. In our factory, the more you work, the more you get. Sometimes female workers earn more than male workers!"

Just as he was talking, Qiao Yun led her apprentice Yang Fang past. Qiao Yun arranged the tasks for the next batch of spring ladies' boxes in an orderly manner. Yang Fang quickly took notes with a pen and paper in her hand. When she encountered words she didn't know, she would use Symbol substitution.

 “Qiao is in charge.” Yin Le hurriedly said hello.

Song Yu had already said that outsiders were coming to visit today. Qiao Yun already guessed that the outsiders were referring to them as soon as she saw the unfamiliar faces in front of her. She nodded politely and smiled at Mr. Yin and Sister-in-law Yin:

“Yue Niang is a very diligent girl. Thanks to her, we can have a safe and delicious meal at noon.”

She still had something to do, so she smiled slightly and led her apprentice Yang Fang to the next production group quickly, with a vigorous and resolute attitude.

The male and female workers they met on the road would greet her with respect and admiration.

Sister-in-law Yin had never seen a woman receive such attention before. She stopped where she was and was stunned for a while.

Brother Yin stepped back and pulled her away. Only then did he come back to his senses. He was dazzled when he looked at the female workers around him who were performing their duties, smiling, exuding confidence, and holding their heads high.

When they saw the strange foreign man Mr. Yin and Brother Yin, they did not shrink back and dodge, but smiled and nodded, and continued to concentrate on the work in their hands.

Mr. Yin and his son looked at each other and saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

These splendid women are dazzling and dazzling.

This kind of beauty has nothing to do with whether she has peerless appearance, or whether she is sufficiently docile, filial, and chaste.

It is a kind of vigor, full of expectations for life, and I feel from the bottom of my heart that I can get all the good things by relying on my own hard-working hands. I never need to depend on anyone or any identity. I am just my determination.
