The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao stood at the door of the private school.

The sound of reading could be heard from inside. They did not understand what was being said, but they knew that their peasant attire was different from that of the scholars inside.

"Who are you looking for?" The old man who was sweeping the floor saw two people standing there for a long time, neither knocking on the door nor speaking, looking timid and fearful, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Uncle, we're looking for Tang Yichen." Tang Yi said with a smile, "We are his younger brothers and sisters."

"So you're Mr. Tang's family." The old man's face lit up when he heard that. "Please wait a moment. I'll go get Mr. Tang out right away."

Tang Yi watched the old man leave with a smile, and said to Tang Luwu, "I heard that my brother is going to take the exam this time. With his talent, he will definitely pass. We must not let him be distracted."

"I know." Tang Luwu tilted her head back and looked inside. "Aunt Li and Sister Yin have changed a lot. Should we tell Big Brother about this?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Big brother doesn't need to worry about the family affairs. He just needs to concentrate on preparing for the exam." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Do you think they are nice to us for no reason? Dad can't get out of bed for the time being. Doesn't someone need to do the housework? They get along well with us, and we can willingly be their long-term workers. Isn't this a good deal for them?"

"Maybe Sister Yin really wants to become a family with us, otherwise she wouldn't have asked us to bring food to Big Brother. Only family members care about each other."

"Sister, didn't you hear the conversation between mother and daughter just now? On the surface, they were sending food to Big Brother, but in fact, they came to the private school to show their faces and let more people know about the existence of food like jelly."

While the brother and sister were talking, a young man in a green shirt slowly walked over.

The blue shirt was the school's uniform, with a white piping around the collar, contrasting with the main color, creating a clean and elegant look. A dark belt cinched around his waist further accentuated his upright figure. Though the boy was young, his brows etched with a touch of immaturity, his features were refined and gentle, as pure and noble as a bamboo.

"Luwu, Xiaodi, why are you here?" Tang Yichen said.

"Brother..." The two of them ran over excitedly when they saw Tang Yichen, who had not returned home for a long time.

Seeing the two people's excited expressions, Tang Yichen frowned and said, "Did something happen at home? Um...did Li give you a hard time?"

When talking about 'that woman', Tang Yichen's eyes were full of disgust and disdain.

"No, we are here to deliver something to you." Tang Yi smiled and took out several bamboo buckets from the backpack.

"what is this?"

"The food is really delicious." Tang Luwu's eyes were bright as she looked at Tang Yichen expectantly. "Brother, try it."

Tang Yichen was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't been home for ten days. Why did he feel that his sister was a little different when he saw her this time?

Tang Yichen opened the bamboo bucket.

Thin white strips of meat were topped with a well-mixed sauce, and the top layer was covered with a few pieces of meat. He hadn't eaten it yet, but the aroma told him it was good.

Under the expectant gaze of his younger brother and sister, he picked up the thin white strips and put them into his mouth. Immediately, the indescribable coolness dispelled the heat in his body.

It was incredibly hot this season. Even though it was barely dawn, the heat was already overwhelming. The wealthy students had two servants fanning them, while some even wore scant clothing, some even going shirtless in the private school. As the teachers' most prized student, Tang Yichen had always been a role model for the others and would never do something so disrespectful.

His clothes were thicker than anyone else's. Even though he was hot and couldn't even read, he was still the well-behaved Tang Yichen in front of outsiders.

Tang Yichen took his first bite a little too quickly. He didn't calm down until he was halfway through, realizing he had lost his composure in front of his younger siblings.

"what is this?"

"This is jelly." Tang Yi said with a smile, "That woman... Li and Qin Huiyin made it and are now selling it at the market. Oh, and these are for the Master and his wife."

"They made it? Why did they send it to me?" Tang Yichen frowned.

Not long after Li got married, his father got into trouble. Not only did she not feel sorry for him, she also cried and made a fuss at home all day long. For his father's sake, he tried to persuade her with kind words, but it was useless. He also tried to persuade his father to divorce her, otherwise he would not have a good life if he kept making such a fuss all day long. His father pretended not to hear, because he just couldn't bear to part with that woman, and he insisted on keeping her even though she cried and made a fuss.

He was busy with school and couldn't go home often, so he could hide away in peace and quiet. It was just hard on his younger siblings, who had to face that rude and shrewish woman every day. No, it was a mother and daughter.

The woman's daughter was no pushover either. Although she disguised herself well, he could still see through the restlessness in her eyes at a glance.

"Brother, Aunt Li is no longer making trouble. She and Sister Yin are doing well. Sister Yin asked us to send this over, saying that it is for you and the teachers to try." Tang Luwu spoke well of Qin Huiyin and her daughter.

Tang Yixiao hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "They haven't been making any more noise recently. Qin Huiyin made this jelly, saying she wanted to start a business. Li listened to her and was busy running around."

"They didn't bully you, did they?" Tang Yichen still didn't believe what his younger brother and sister said.

He knew his younger siblings were sensible and sometimes only reported good news and not bad news. Perhaps they didn't want to distract him, so they kept everything secret.

"No. We help with the chores, and we eat whatever they eat. They don't treat us badly when it comes to food." At least that's been the case these days. "Brother, didn't you tell me? We're still young and can't live on our own. When we grow up and can handle things on our own, we can break free from the constraints of our family. Brother, just focus on your studies. As long as you pass the imperial examination, no one will dare to bully me and my sister."

"Yinyin returned my money." Tang Luwu pulled out six copper coins from her pocket. "She's changed a lot recently. It seems like she really wants to live a good life with us."

"I can probably guess what they're trying to do," Tang Yichen said. "Do they want to let the students in the private school know about the existence of jelly so they can attract more business for them?"

"Probably!" Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Help me carry the things in. I have two teachers and a mistress, and I have one leftover that I plan to leave for a good classmate."

When Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao came out of the private school, half an hour had passed since they left the stall. Worried that the Li mother and daughter would be angry, they quickened their pace.

The two men ran out of breath and finally arrived, only to find that the stall was gone and the Li mother and daughter were gone too.

"Hey, your mother asked me to tell you that all the goods are sold out. They need to go buy some things, so you should go to the butcher shop to find them." said the old woman squatting opposite and selling mushrooms.
