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

After dinner, Qin Huiyin placed the cash box on the rickety table and asked Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao to help sort it out, stringing the coins in strings of 100 Wen each so that it would be clear at a glance when counting them at the end.

"One hundred and seventy bowls of jelly, five wen each, plus the money from the braised pork, minus the cost of our purchases, the balance is 1345 wen."

"We made one tael of silver and 345 coins today?" Li Taohua said. "If we keep going like this, we can probably make fifty taels of silver a month! We can make more and sell more in the future, and make two taels of silver every day."

"It's new at the beginning, so naturally more people buy it. But according to the current situation, after a few days, people will no longer find it new, and business will be much slower." Qin Huiyin pointed out the reality.

"There are too few customers here. If it were a prosperous town, there would definitely be more business than this." Tang Yichen said, "However, there is no other way now. If you want to do business in a prosperous town, you must have capital. Now this business is small, but it is enough to support my family, so it can be considered a way out."

"If you can solve that big problem of Chen Zhongyi, our family's current income is enough for everyone to live a good life." Qin Huiyin looked at Tang Yichen.

Tang Yichen pursed his lips and hummed: "I know."

In the afternoon, Tang Yichen went out for a while. When he came back, he was followed by several tall villagers who came in carrying newly made tables, chairs and benches.

Li Taohua came over, looked at the new furniture, and asked, "How much did this cost? Even though our family has made some money, we can't spend it recklessly!"

Li Taohua felt distressed when she thought about how her precious daughter had spent all the money she earned.

Looking at Tang Yichen again at this time, his eyes were full of disgust.

Tang Yichen said calmly: "I will pay for this, you don't need to use the household funds."

"Where did you get the money?"

"I'll buy it on credit first, and I'll pay you back when I earn money from copying books."

One of the men wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and said, "Brother Chen is a man of his word. We trust him. We've heard about your family's situation, too. Don't rush to pay it back. It's not too late to pay it back when you have the money."

Li Taohua: "..."

Zhang, the carpenter in this village, worked as a carpenter with his two sons. Several nearby villages asked him to make furniture. She had once tried to buy a stool on credit, but was kicked out by him and his sons. Tang Yichen was really a man of great reputation. He could buy so much furniture on credit without worrying that he would default on the payment.

At this time, Qin Huiyin finished making the jelly to be sold tomorrow.

She looked at the new furniture with amazement in her eyes. "Finally, we have new tables and chairs. The old ones were so old, I was always worried every time I sat down, afraid they would suddenly fall apart into a pile of scrap wood."

Seeing that Qin Huiyin liked it, Li Taohua didn't say anything.

"Hey..." Qin Huiyin leaned closer to Tang Yichen and said in a low voice, "Can I get another bathtub on credit?"

Tang Yichen: “…”

He turned around and looked at her, his eyes were clear and indifferent, as if saying: You are really rude.

Qin Huiyin laughed dryly, moved aside, and muttered, "After all, we are nominally brother and sister, and you don't even help with this little thing. How stingy."

She could tolerate the ancient toilets. As long as they were clean, it was not unacceptable.

However, there is no bathroom here, so every time you take a bath, you can only use a wooden bucket. The Tang family does not have a wooden bucket, only a wooden basin. These days, you have to use the wooden basin to fill with water to wash, and you can't even sit in it to take a bath.

Who can understand her feelings?

She can only do dry wiping every day.

But, can dry wiping clean it?

"Brother Dazhu, could you please get me a bathtub?" Tang Yichen said.

"No problem." Zhang Dazhu patted his chest. "Brother Chen, if you need anything else, just ask."

"That's all for now, thank you."

After seeing off Zhang Dazhu and the others, Tang Yichen asked, "Is there anything else I can do for the family?"

"No, no, just go ahead and do your thing." Qin Huiyin was extremely satisfied with the man when he was willing to buy a bathtub on credit.

He is indeed a gentle male protagonist, completely different from the evil villain.

Tang Yichen did not force himself to join them. After making sure there was nothing for him to do, he went back to the house to copy books.

His desk is right in front of the window, after all, the light is good here.

He could see the scene in the yard when he looked up.

In the yard, Qin Huiyin pushed the mill, panting. Tang Luwu took over and pushed for a while, her face also covered in sweat.

Li Taohua waved her hand and said impatiently, "Go away, you're really useless."

So she pushed for a while too.

Grinding pea flour was too tiring for the women, and Tang Yixiao was still young, so even if he offered to do it, no one would agree.

Tang Yichen came out.

Several pairs of eyes were looking at him, and he suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp from being stared at by so many people.

He took over the job of grinding flour.

"Wow..." Qin Huiyin exclaimed, "I never thought a scholar could have so much strength."

"Big brother is not just an ordinary weak scholar. He also helps with housework during his days off." Tang Luwu looked at Tang Yichen with admiration. "Big brother is the pillar of our family!"

Tang Yichen had a calm personality, and even his interactions with his younger siblings were dull. Now, as he worked, he felt a bit uncomfortable with several pairs of eyes staring at him.

Li Taohua said, "Take out the dirty clothes, I'll go wash them."

Tang Luwu then said, "I think we're running low on firewood. Let's go up the mountain and get some."

Tang Yi smiled and picked up the sickle: "I'll follow you."

Now the only chores left at home were grinding pea flour. The braised meat was already simmering in the pot, and they only needed to check the firewood occasionally. Since Tang Yichen had taken over the flour-grinding job, the others would just be sitting around doing nothing. It would be better to find something else to do.

Qin Huiyin wants to stay and help.

Tang Yichen didn't know how to grind the powder, so she needed to stay and be the commander-in-chief.

It's a bit of a surprise. She actually lives under the same roof with the paper-man male protagonist and becomes his stepsister. In the original novel, this stepsister is always asking for trouble, and her relationship with the male protagonist is very bad. Now that Tang Luwu is alive, Tang Yixiao's medicine is still running out, and the original owner didn't have time to offend the male protagonist, he shouldn't hate her anymore, right?

Is the male protagonist really only fourteen years old?

Not to mention that being mature beyond his years is a standard feature of a male protagonist, he also has a taller-than-average figure, and although he comes from a common background, he is born with a noble temperament. He can be spotted at a glance in the crowd. If he is not the male protagonist, who else could be?

"What should I call you? Calling you by your name doesn't seem very polite. If I follow Sister Luwu and call you Big Brother, you will probably feel uncomfortable. How about I call you Brother Chen?" Qin Huiyin asked.

Tang Yichen said calmly: "Yeah."

"Brother Chen, my mother married your father. I know you don't like us mother and daughter very much. But as you can see, we have become a family. I really want to get along with everyone, so you don't have to worry that my mother and I will bully your siblings. Let's just be a good family from now on, okay?"

Hold on to the hero's thighs, be his good sister, and maybe you can get some of his luck in the future.
