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

Qian and Zheng's mother and son were driven out.

Zheng Li was cursing and jumping in front of the Tang family's door, and her curses were quite dirty.

Tang Luwu rushed out carrying the chamber pot, her stern little face full of anger and a murderous look.

Qin Huiyin was stunned.

It was the first time she saw Tang Luwu so lively and energetic, and she felt pretty good about it.

"Ah...are you crazy?" Seeing Tang Lvwu about to throw manure, Qian ran away. "Your family is really a bunch of crazy people."

No matter how tough Zheng Li was, she couldn't stand such a situation.

She pulled Zheng Dapang away, saying, "Even if you remain single for the rest of your life, you will never marry a woman from this family. They're a bunch of shrews. Whoever marries them will be in trouble."

Zheng Dapang looked in the direction of Qin Huiyin, his eyes full of reluctance.

Qin Huiyin said beside her: "Sister Luwu, you have made great progress."

Tang Luwu came to her senses and hurriedly put down the chamber pot, her tanned face full of embarrassment and uneasiness.

"Their curses were so nasty, I just wanted to scare them and make them leave quickly."

"You're right. That's the right way to deal with people like that." Qin Huiyin gave a thumbs-up. "But you can only do this when we have more people. If they have more people than us, then don't take the lead. That's what they call a wise man who knows the times."

Seeing Tang Yichen's unhappy expression, Li Taohua took the initiative and rushed into Tang Dafu's room, cursing at him: "It's all your fault for being useless. They bullied your wife and child. They just wanted us to sell our daughter because we couldn't come up with the fifty taels of silver! I swear to God, I would sell myself rather than my daughter."

It's impossible to sell your own daughter.

Tang Dafu was so distressed that he took her hand and admitted all the faults: "It's my fault. I'm useless. I've implicated you and the child."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

Regardless of the stepfather's abilities in other aspects, based on his self-image as a henpecked husband, he can still be assigned a wife.

She glanced at Tang Yichen quietly and said, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, but don't worry, as long as I'm here, Sister Luwu will be here too."

Tang Yichen glanced at her indifferently: "What can you guarantee? This time it's not the end of the road yet, your mother didn't agree. What about next time?"

"Then don't let us face a desperate situation. I can't promise anything. Because when a person faces a desperate situation, as long as they can survive, they will do anything. Never try to test a person's bottom line, because you will find that human nature is selfish and there is no bottom line."

Tang Yichen: "...You are only eleven years old."

"I've been wandering with my mother and have seen more things than you have in fourteen years combined." Qin Huiyin shrugged. "I don't think my mother is wrong. For me, to survive, she would do anything. All I can do is take good care of my mother and not let her do anything that crosses the line."

Tang Yichen hadn't expected Qin Huiyin to describe the selfishness of her and her daughter so bluntly. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Human nature is inherently selfish.

If it were him, and he had to betray others in order to keep his family alive, what would he do?

Perhaps he would have made the same choice if there was no other option.

After driving away Qian and the others, the Tang family members continued to do their jobs. Tang Yixiao came back with firewood on his back and two blades of grass in his hands.

"See if this is useful." Tang Yi put down the firewood with a smile, picked up two pieces of grass and found Qin Huiyin who was cooking.

Qin Huiyin looked back and was pleasantly surprised: "Not bad, brother Xiao, you found two more wild peppers for me."

Tang Yi's cheeks flushed with laughter, and he glared at her: "Speak properly."

"What a weird little brat." Qin Huiyin laughed, "Please plant it in the corner of the wall for me, away from the other plants."

After Tang Yixiao left, Qin Huiyin thought of something, poked her head out from the kitchen door, looked around in the yard, and found Tang Yichen who was chopping wood.

"Brother Chen, can you catch fish?"

Tang Yichen hummed.

"Then help me catch two fish!" Qin Huiyin said, "I'll make steamed fish today."

She promised to bring food to Song Ruize, who was injured and eating fish could help him recover from his wound.

Tang Yichen put down the firewood in his hand, took a fish basket from the wall and walked outside.

It was just getting dark, and many villagers were still working in the fields. The Tang family also had land, but Tang Dafu had been injured, and the land had been left uncultivated.

When the villagers came back carrying farm tools, they saw Tang Yichen rolling up his sleeves and going to the river to fish.

"Brother Chen, fishing is not that easy..."

The villager who was speaking saw Tang Yichen quickly and accurately scoop up a fish, and touched his head awkwardly: "Haha, people with good brains are just different."

Tang Yichen easily picked up the two fish, nodded to the villager who was talking, and walked past him.

When he was almost home, someone suddenly appeared and blocked his way. It was a girl wearing a new dress, a silver hairpin in her hair, and rouge and powder on her face. At first glance, she looked different from the other girls in the village.

"Brother Yichen, I have something to tell you."

Tang Yichen looked at the girl in front of him and frowned, "You are..."

The girl was shocked, her face flushed with shame and anger, and she said in a wronged tone: "Brother Yichen, I am Su Caixia who grew up with you, why don't you recognize me?"

Tang Yichen remained silent.

In fact, he still couldn't remember it.

There are so many people of the same age in the village. If they all look at each other, it means they grew up together. Then there must be quite a few people who have this kind of relationship with him.

However, he has never liked to socialize with others since he was a child. Apart from his younger siblings, he doesn't like to socialize with anyone else. Later, when he went to school, there were not many peers whose names he could remember, let alone a girl.

"Brother Yichen, I'm working in the embroidery room now. I get some money every month. If you're short of money, I can lend it to you."

Tang Yichen: "...What are the conditions?"

He didn't want to talk nonsense, so he just got straight to the point.

"I admire you. If you are willing to marry me, I will support you in your imperial examinations and give you all the money I earn." Su Caixia looked at him expectantly.

Tang Yichen wanted to say something when he caught sight of Qin Huiyin.

Qin Huiyin noticed Tang Yichen's gaze, walked out with the basket, and waved embarrassedly: "I want to go to the vegetable garden and pass by here. You continue."

Tang Yichen took the vegetable basket from her hand and handed her the fish basket: "I'll go! What vegetables do you want?"

"This is not good..." Qin Huiyin looked at Su Caixia beside her.

Su Caixia stared at Qin Huiyin with a look as if she wanted to eat her alive.

Qin Huiyin felt embarrassed. It takes courage for a woman to confess her love to a man. Few girls in modern times could do it, let alone in ancient times.

Tang Yichen walked past Su Caixia and said calmly, "Don't admire me in the future. I won't get married in the next ten years. Besides, I have no interest in you."
