What were Mattie's chores?

Mattie was responsible for washing the dishes, hauling water from the well, and watering the garden. She did regular chores around the house and considered herself an unpaid slave.

I dropped the bucket into the well to fill it with water, then turned the handle to bring it back up again. Little Mattie, indeed. I was big enough to be ordered around like an unpaid servant. Big enough for mother to grumble about finding me a husband.
