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

Tang Caiyun felt a little embarrassed to speak when she saw Song Ruize, an outsider, here.

Seeing this, Song Ruize told Qin Huiyin that the weeds in the yard had not been cleared yet and asked her to come back later.

Qin Huiyin understood that Song Ruize was trying to avoid her, so she said she would call him after dinner was ready.

After Song Ruize left, Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao also heard the conversation outside. Tang Caiyun felt much more relaxed when facing her younger relatives.

Tang Yixiao took the cloth bag from Tang Caiyun's back, and Tang Luwu took Tang Caiyun's hand and walked inside.

Tang Caiyun talked about how she only realized such a big thing had happened in the village after entering it. She chatted with the Tang siblings for a while, and Tang Luwu quickly changed the subject and asked her why she left the house with her bag on her back.

"I want to go into the city to look for peonies."

"Did they bully you?"

"It's not bullying. Shaoyao saw that I was injured the last time she came back, and she said that if she saw me injured again, she wouldn't bring the money back. He doesn't dare to mess with Shaoyao, and hasn't dared to hit me recently. But I've thought a lot, the people I care about are no longer in that family, so why should I stay there and work for them like a slave? I'm going to go find Shaoyao, so that they won't threaten her with me. I'm also going to find a job in the city to earn some money, and save it with Shaoyao. When we have enough money, we'll go find Daya and Erya."

"Did he allow you to come out?" Qin Huiyin took out some dried fruits from the room and placed them in front of Tang Caiyun.

She scooped up a handful and gave it to Tang Sanmei.

Tang Sanmei peeled the walnuts and stuffed them into Qin Huiyin's mouth. Qin Huiyin touched Tang Sanmei's hair and thanked her happily.

Tang Caiyun took the walnuts that Tang Luwu had peeled, took a small bite, and continued, "He hasn't been home these past few days. I'm usually working in the fields at this time, so my mother-in-law and her family won't look for me until dinner time. If they hadn't found me, they wouldn't have guessed I'd gone back to my parents' home. Even if they had, they wouldn't have walked the night road looking for me. By the time they thought of looking for me, I'd have already returned to the city with you."

"Have a good rest tonight. We have to go to the city early tomorrow morning." Qin Huiyin said, and then told Tang Luwu, "Sister Luwu, you can sleep with your aunt tonight. You can still talk."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to stay at my brother's house temporarily. You forgot that I originally had a separate room in that house." Qin Huiyin said, "It just so happens that I also want to talk to him."

Tang Luwu felt that this was not a good idea, but she didn't understand why it was wrong. One was a brother, the other a sister, and they had lived under the same roof before, so there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Qin Huiyin didn't think too much about it.

She just felt that even if Li Taohua and Tang Dafu's rooms were empty, it was inappropriate for her, as a daughter, to go and sleep there. If it wasn't appropriate for her, then it was even more inappropriate for others.

However, she was too particular. If there was no room, she would not care about these details at all.

The problem now was that she had another choice, which was not to touch her mother and her new husband's private areas. Even she felt uncomfortable, and Li Taohua would be even more uncomfortable if she knew.

Let's have hotpot in the evening. Qin Huiyin prepared the hotpot base, arranged the various side dishes, and then went to find Song Ruize.

Song Ruize was indeed tidying up his small yard.

"Brother..." Qin Huiyin pushed open the gate. "Don't clean up, go eat first, and I'll help you clean up when you come back."

Song Ruize was tidying up the grape trellis and said without turning his head, "I'll be there soon, you go first!"

Qin Huiyin did not leave, but accompanied him to build it.

While helping him, she casually said, "My aunt is here, and there aren't enough rooms at home. I don't want to stay in my mother's room. Can I stay with you tonight?"

Snap! The wooden stick in Song Ruize's hand broke into two pieces.

He looked at Qin Huiyin beside him in astonishment.

Qin Huiyin looked innocent: "Isn't it possible? Isn't that room always empty?"

She pointed to her original room.

Song Ruize coughed lightly: "Okay."

He put down the things in his hands and said, "There's no rush to get these things done. Let's come back and put them together later. The others are still waiting for us. It's not good to keep them waiting for too long. Let's go eat first."

Qin Huiyin saw Song Ruize jumping down from above and nervously told him to be careful.

When they returned to the Tang family, Third Master Tang had already arrived. Qin Huiyin saw Third Master Tang and reached out to hug him: "Third Master, I've missed you so much recently."

"That little sweet mouth of yours, is it smeared with honey every day?" Mr. Tang San said with a smile. "If you really miss me, I'll come to your store next time I go to the city and eat and drink for free."

"How can this be considered free food and drinks? Just come, I'll cook you a pot of delicious food. During this time, you've been helping Brother Tie Niu and the others run the restaurant. How's business been?"

"You taught them the craft, and they followed your instructions and were very strict with their ingredients. Of course, the food is just as good as before. But many people asked about you, so I introduced them to Sister Chuan Chuan Xiang."

While the two were talking, Song Tieniu and the others arrived. Then, people from the Zhang family next door also came over.

When Qin Huiyin and Song Ruize had originally planned to have hot pot, they hadn't considered inviting so many people. Since Tang Caiyun was here, they decided to take this opportunity to invite everyone over and have a chat with her, such as Zhou and Pang.

These two were close in age to her, and both had experienced hardships, so they definitely had more common topics to talk about. Compared to these young girls, Tang Caiyun needed to find someone who could resonate with her and talk to her.

Qin Huiyin was worried that Song Ruize would feel uncomfortable, so she sat next to him and picked up some food for him.

Several men from the Zhang family reported their recent work progress to her. Qin Huiyin listened attentively to them, and when she came to her senses, she saw several of her favorite fish balls and mutton balls in the bowl in front of her.

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you drink?"

"No more drinking. It will delay my work. I have to get up early tomorrow to finish the work." Carpenter Zhang is in high spirits now because of the good news.

They hadn't even finished their current batch of goods when another order came in. Carpenter Zhang had earned more money in a short period of time than he had in the previous ten years, and now he was only focused on his business.

The worry between Zhou's brows also disappeared, and her whole body was like a dark cloud that had dispersed and was covered by colorful clouds.

"Matchmakers have been coming to our house every day lately, hoping to introduce girls to our Dazhu," Zhou said to Tang Caiyun beside her. "That brat Dazhu says there's no rush, but I'm really worried sick."

"Dazhu has a skill and can make money. He can always pick a good girl if he wants. If he doesn't want to delay his work, then let him do it. When he meets someone he wants to marry, you can't stop him from marrying her."

Several women gathered together and talked about family matters.

"Yinyin, are you really going to stay at the Song family's place today?" Tang Luwu asked.

"Well, let's take a break for one night. What's wrong?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"Nothing. I was thinking there might not be any blankets or anything like that over there. Why don't we just not bother and squeeze in tonight?"

"There are quilts." Song Ruize said calmly, "There are always spare new quilts at home."

"Actually, we won't be able to sleep for much longer. We have to leave early tomorrow morning, so don't bother. Just do whatever's convenient for you!" Qin Huiyin said, "My brother still has to build the grape trellis. I'll leave this here to you guys. I'll go and help him."
