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

Tang Dafu looked eagerly at the copper coins that his family had painstakingly sorted into strings, and asked Tang Yichen, who was counting them last, "How much?"

Tang Yichen had an account book in his hand and wrote down a number in front of the whole family.

The others were extremely anxious.

At this time, they desperately wished they had learned to read, and at the same time, they also deeply realized the necessity of learning to read.

"Eight ounces and twenty-three coins."

"Eight taels?" Several people said in unison, each one louder than the last.

Qin Huiyin was the only one who was not surprised.

She knew exactly how much goods she had prepared and how much she could get for them based on the prices she set for them.

"The cost of this was two and a half taels of silver. After deducting the cost, I made a profit of five and a half taels." Qin Huiyin said, "So the total balance now is twelve and a half taels of silver."

"Bowls and chopsticks are for long-term use, so we won't have to spend that much money next time. Our main expenses going forward will be food, oil paper, simple bamboo bowls, and disposable chopsticks," Tang Yichen said. "Based on today's quantity, these things will cost a total of one or two taels of silver. Therefore, future profits will be much higher."

"That's right," Qin Huiyin agreed. "The bulk of the expenses during this period were for things like folding carts, folding tables and chairs, dishes, and grills. We won't need to spend on those anymore."

"Start paying the wages now." Li Taohua held out her hand. "Give it to me quickly. I need to save some money."

Qin Huiyin laughed, and then gave each person fifty coins. Of course, those who worked got paid, but Tang Dafu and Tang Yichen had no money at the moment.

Tang Yichen and Tang Luwu felt like they were dreaming.

In the past, they worked tirelessly at home, and they were lucky not to get paid, and they were also worried that if they didn't do a good job, they would become abandoned children in the family.

Now they also work every day, but their efforts are not only recognized, but they can also earn wages. They can do more of this hard work and are not afraid of being tired.

"By the way, how much did you give Third Master for the car fare, and how much was his share of the wages today?" Li Taohua asked.

"The fare is twenty cents, and the wages are his share of the labor based on his skills, also twenty cents, for a total of forty cents." Qin Huiyin said, "Third Grandfather has helped us a lot, and this amount of money is not much."

Tang Yichen wrote down the account and then calculated the current balance of the public bank.

The money is managed by Qin Huiyin, and the account book is with Tang Yichen.

Tang Yichen had actually helped write the plaque, prepared the menu, and even kept track of the income and expenditure. He had contributed to the family, and he should be paid. However, this would leave Tang Dafu the only one without wages, which would put him, the male owner, in a very awkward position. To accommodate him, Tang Yichen would not be paid for the time being. Next time, I'd visit the county bookstore and give him some rice paper.

"This hundred coins are your wages." Tang Yichen pushed a string of copper coins in front of Qin Huiyin. "Everyone else has some, but you, the big boss, can't be without any."

Qin Huiyin took it with a smile: "Of course I have to accept it!"

Tang Dafu saw that his son and daughter were both paid, but he and the injured Tang Yichen were the only ones who had none, so he also wanted to get better soon and earn some money.

Before, he was worried that he would not be able to find a way to make a living because of his lame leg. Now he doesn’t have to worry about that. As long as he works with Huiyin, he can earn more than outside.

The most important thing is to please Huiyin, his wife will definitely be happy. If his wife is happy, then the family will not break up.

We won a great victory today and everyone was happy. Even though we were exhausted, we decided to cook a few more dishes to reward ourselves.

Tang Dafu was responsible for picking and washing vegetables, Li Taohua was responsible for cutting meat, Tang Yichen sat in front of the stove and cooked, Qin Huiyin lit the stove and then grilled the skewers on the grill.

Tang Yi smiled and was about to go out with the bucket when Qin Huiyin stopped him.

"Don't go fetch water. I've already asked someone to fetch some and have it delivered right away," Qin Huiyin said. "It only costs one penny to fill the water jar."

"I can do it. There's no need to waste this money."

"We're very tired now, so let's be lazy if we can! I've also found someone to help us collect firewood. A full load is ten cents, so I've ordered two loads."

"Second sister, this is such a waste." Tang Yi smiled disapprovingly, "Collecting firewood is easy, I can do it."

"What did you call me?" Qin Huiyin looked at him with a smile.

Tang Yi smiled: "...Second sister, you are older than me, shouldn't I call you sister?"

He looked extremely awkward, his cheeks flushed red, and he looked as if he couldn't bear to look at her.

Qin Huiyin reached out and touched his head: "You are so good. Call me like this from now on."

"If I'm not allowed to carry water or collect firewood, what am I supposed to do?"

"Go and call Third Grandpa over for dinner, and tell him we're all going to have a drink together today."

Tang Yixiao has been with his family recently and hasn't walked around the village alone for a long time.

The children playing in the village saw him appear and blocked his way one by one.

Tang Yi smiled and turned to the side. The children blocked his way again. He looked at them impatiently with cold eyes and said, "Get out of here."

"Tang Yixiao, you've been a little fearless lately! Have you forgotten the days when you crawled into my crotch?" The leading child pushed Tang Yixiao and said, "I'm giving you face, right?"

Tang Yixiao had grown stronger recently, no longer as frail as he had been a while ago. However, the kid was even stronger, and he sincerely wanted to bully Tang Yixiao, but he was quickly pinned to the ground by them.

"Let me go...let me go..."

"You haven't been listening lately. You haven't helped us collect firewood. You've been missing all day, and we haven't been able to collect enough firewood every day. We've been scolded by our family. Today, I'm going to settle this account with you and let you know the consequences of disobedience."

"Ah..." Tang Yixiao was pressed down by them and couldn't struggle. He opened his mouth and bit the fat boy's palm.

The fat boy screamed: "Ah...it hurts...let go...quickly let go...quickly pull him away..."

"Oh my god, it's bleeding. Tang Yixiao, are you crazy? Let go quickly, it's bleeding."

"Someone come... someone come quickly... Tang Yi is laughing like crazy."

Li Taohua stood at the door, looked outside, and said, "Where did that brat go? Tell him to ask Uncle Tang to come over. He fell into the toilet and hasn't come back in such a long time."

She said something inside and said she would go to the village to take a look.

Qin Huiyin was busy preparing dinner dishes and responded casually.

The weather is good today, and the moonlight will definitely be good too. If it is too late later, they can move the dining table to the yard and eat and drink facing the moon.

Li Taohua walked in the direction of Uncle Tang's house. Along the way, she encountered a few villagers with dishonest looks. She directly said to the women next to them, "Your man is looking at me again," which caused the women to curse at the dishonest men and earn them a few more comments like "fox spirits."

Li Taohua rolled her eyes.

She walked quietly and didn't provoke anyone, but they couldn't control their men and blamed her for being pretty? A bunch of brainless women.
