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

Tang Luwu saw that Li Taohua's face was full of anger and Qin Huiyin was so angry that she looked pitiful. She was not good at speaking and didn't know how to persuade her.

She tugged at Tang Yixiao's sleeve and said, "What should we do?"

Tang Yixiao put away the unused bamboo buckets and bowls, squatted down to pack up, and ignored the mother and daughter.

After the women left, the anger on Li Taohua's face disappeared, and she said to Qin Huiyin beside her: "Everything is sold out, we can close the stall now."

"Mom, you didn't even give me a wink just now. Aren't you afraid that I didn't understand your intention?" Qin Huiyin said with a smile.

"We mother and daughter have such a good understanding. You can understand what I want to do just by frowning. How could you not understand my intention?" Li Taohua said.

Tang Luwu was stunned, staring blankly at the mother and daughter who had turned from enemies into friends.

Qin Huiyin was amused by her appearance and said, "We did it on purpose. We want these aunts to feel that they have gotten a great deal, so that they will be so happy to pay."

Tang Yi smiled and said lightly, "Do you think she might turn against her own daughter?"

Given her love for Qin Huiyin, she would unconditionally agree to whatever she said. How could she turn against her for such a small thing?

Tang Luwu breathed a sigh of relief. As she packed her things, she observed Li Taohua and her daughter. Seeing Li Taohua pulling Qin Huiyin to count the cash box, envy flashed in her eyes.

Everything is sold out, you can go home now.

Today they didn't buy staples like peas and rice, only pig scraps. The fat butcher promised to leave her pig's trotters, and she didn't know where he found them, but there were ten of them.

The ox cart arrived at the door of the Tang family. Before it stopped, a quarrel was heard inside, followed by the sound of things being smashed, and then the voice of Tang Dafu begging for mercy.

Tang Yixiao jumped off the ox cart and ran into the yard.

After Mr. Tang San stopped the ox cart, he followed the Tang family members in to check.

At this time, some villagers were outside watching stealthily. One of them stopped Mr. Tang San and said, "Uncle San, don't get involved. This has nothing to do with you."

Master Tang San asked, "What happened?"

"It's the fifty taels of silver that Tang Dafu owed me before, and the creditor is here to collect the debt."

As soon as Li Taohua and others entered the door, the rough men who were smashing things inside heard the noise and rushed out.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, dressed respectably but with cloudy eyes. He was accompanied by seven or eight thugs, all dressed in workman's clothes, tall, strong, and fierce-looking.

"You're back just in time." Chen Zhongyi looked at Li Taohua and her daughter, grinning, revealing his yellowed teeth, with a wretched look on his face. "Take them all away."

Several men grabbed Li Taohua and her daughter.

"Wait a minute..." Qin Huiyin stood in front of Li Taohua and asked fiercely, "You broke into someone else's house and want to rob me again? Are there any laws left?"

Li Taohua hugged Qin Huiyin and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Tang Dafu crawled out screaming, and seeing him dragging his legs out was heartbreaking. But to these evil people, it looked like a joke.

"Boss Chen, please give me some more time. Once my leg is healed and I can work and earn money, I will definitely pay you back the fifty taels of silver," Tang Dafu begged tearfully. "My wife and children have nothing to do with this matter. Please don't make it difficult for them. I recognize this money. You can ask me to do anything to repay it."

"What can a disabled person like you do? Will anyone want you to work in the city? Even if someone does, you only get five or six hundred coins a month. When will you pay me back the fifty taels?" Chen Zhongyi stepped on Tang Dafu's face.

"Let my dad go!" Tang Yi laughed and pounced on him like an angry little wolf cub.

He pushed his head against Chen Zhongyi's stomach.

Chen Zhongyi was originally fat and big-eared, and when Tang Yixiao pounced on him like that, his fat body staggered and fell backwards.

The guy behind him supported him.

Chen Zhongyi's face was filled with anger, and he said to his men, "Catch him and beat him up. Let him know the consequences of offending me."

Tang Luwu hugged Tang Yixiao and let the two guys' fists fall on her body. She gritted her teeth and said nothing, refusing to let anyone hurt Tang Yixiao.

"Stop it," Qin Huiyin yelled. "My brother's health isn't good. You can ask around. He takes medicine every day. If anything happens to him, it won't be a matter of fifty taels of silver. Boss Chen, you don't want to be blamed for a murder, do you? The new county magistrate is not a corrupt official. You can't get away with it by giving him silver."

Chen Zhongyi stretched out his hand and asked the men to stop.

He looked at Qin Huiyin and grinned, saying, "You are quite clever, little girl. Your mother is quite charming. If you are willing to be my fifteenth concubine, I will give you fifty taels of silver. But I have changed my mind now. You are still young. If you keep her for a few more years, you can be my concubine. Why don't you go with me to the Chen family and enjoy a good life? I will take the fifty taels of silver as a betrothal gift. How about that?"

"Pah, what are you dreaming about?" Li Taohua said, "If anyone dares to touch my daughter today, I will fight her to the death."

As she spoke, she took down the sickle that was hanging there and gestured towards them.

"You are a truly seductive woman. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lent your man fifty taels of silver. I know he can't pay it back, so I'm planning to use you to pay off the debt," Chen Zhongyi said. "But your daughter is more cost-effective than you. You should take your daughter back to pay off the debt. I heard you married Tang Dafu with your daughter. I'll help raise our daughter, and you can live a good life. Isn't that better? I'm a really kind man."

"Boss Chen, you lent my stepfather fifty taels of silver, right?" Qin Huiyin said calmly, "Excuse me, what did you do with the fifty taels of silver? Why didn't we see it?"

Chen Zhongyi stared at her with rat eyes: "Little girl, you want to deny it? It's a pity, I'm not stupid. Your father borrowed fifty taels of silver, and I made him sign it."

"Take it and have a look."

Chen Zhongyi took out the IOU and placed it in front of her: "Can you read? If not, I'll ask someone to read it to you."

"No need, I can recognize a few words." Qin Huiyin said, looking at the words on the IOU.

She read all the text and frowned.

The person who wrote this IOU was meticulous and detailed, leaving no room for error. The last fingerprint must have been Tang Dafu's. When she looked at him, he lowered his head in shame.

"Mom, have you seen these fifty taels of silver?" Qin Huiyin asked.

Li Taohua glared at Tang Dafu. "No. When he was carried back, only his bloodstained clothes were left. Not a penny was left. He was unconscious for the first time, and only after waking up seven or eight days later did he tell me about the loan."
