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

Wang wanted to refute, but was persuaded by the people around her.

"Mother Mingxiu, the child has been having the hiccups. Hurry up and take her back to change her clothes!"

"That's right, a grown-up girl like you, with her clothes wet like this, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if a man saw her?"

"There's only one man here. If he dares to look around, make him responsible for my daughter."

As Wang was speaking, she searched for Tang Yichen in the crowd, only to find that Tang Yichen was very far away from her, as if he was trying to avoid her.

The other women chuckled secretly.

Wang's thoughts were so exposed, as if she was afraid that others didn't know what she was thinking.

In fact, there are many people with the same surname in the village, many of whom are within the fifth degree of kinship, so even if they want to marry, it is possible. However, generally speaking, if there is another option, people will not marry in the same village. After all, if they are close to each other, any conflict will easily lead to war, and if you are not careful, relatives will become enemies.

If Wang Shi really had that in mind, she should have established a good relationship with Li Taohua earlier, perhaps there would have been a chance for this marriage. However, she looked down on Li Taohua and opposed her at every turn. Ultimately, she thought Li Taohua was a stepmother and that Tang Yichen would not take her seriously. Who would have thought that Li Taohua would win over the entire Tang family?

"Mom, I'm cold..."

Tang Mingxiu was worried that Wang would cause more trouble, and Qin Huiyin would then go all out and tell her about her, so he tried to take Wang away.

Wang also knew that she could not take advantage of Li Taohua, so Tang Mingxiu gave her a way out and she quickly pulled Tang Mingxiu away.

Li Taohua sneered and said to Qin Huiyin, "My dear, let's go home and take a hot bath. Yixiao and Luwu should have boiled the water."

Qin Huiyin followed Li Taohua home.

Tang Yichen deliberately stayed away and waited for the mother and daughter to leave for a while before following them.

Li Taohua kept blaming Qin Huiyin for being too kind-hearted, saying that there was no need to save Wang's daughter, and that she could just call a few men from the fields nearby to rescue her.

"Mom, she's a girl after all. If she was rescued by a man, it wouldn't be good if it got out."

The most important thing is that they are the ones closest to her. If Tang Mingxiu really gets into trouble in the river, she and Tang Yichen will have to bear the crime of murder, which is not worth it no matter how you think about it.

She didn't want to save Tang Mingxiu either.

A woman like Tang Mingxiu is not only stupid but also vicious. If it didn't involve her and Tang Yichen, she would definitely pull Tang Yichen away from her.

When I returned home, Tang Luwu and Tang Yi greeted me with smiles.

"How is it?" Tang Luwu asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I went into the water to save someone. Don't worry, I won't get hurt."

"The bath water is ready. Go take a bath and warm yourself up." Tang Luwu said, "The water in the river is a little cold now. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Thank you, Sister Luwu."

"I helped too, why don't you thank me?" Tang Yi said with a sour smile.

Qin Huiyin pinched Tang Yixiao's cheek and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother. Why are you so cute?"

"I am a man."

"Little brat."

"you……"

"Alright." Li Taohua poked her forehead and said unhappily, "Looks like you're really alright now. You're still in the mood to entertain me."

As soon as Li Taohua finished speaking, Qin Huiyin sneezed with a "choo".

Li Taohua quickly pushed her towards the bathroom.

"Luwu, are her change of clothes ready?"

"Don't worry, mom. I've put it in the bamboo basket next to it." Tang Luwu said.

Li Taohua nodded and looked at Tang Yichen again.

Tang Yixiao took the two fish from Tang Yichen and brought them into the kitchen.

"Did you see how the little girl next door fell into the water?" Li Taohua asked.

Tang Yi smiled and shook his head: "I didn't see it."

"Aren't you by the river?"

"I'm on the other side."

Li Taohua's expression softened after hearing this: "As long as it has nothing to do with you, that's good."

"Auntie, why do you think it has something to do with me?" Tang Yichen said calmly, "I don't have much contact with the people in the village."

"You're fourteen, and you'll be fifteen in two months. In the countryside, fifteen is already engagement age. You're a great marriage candidate for the girls in the village. You're usually quiet, so it's hard to get close to you, so I'll have to use some tricks to attract your attention. Never underestimate a girl's tricks; they may be clichéd, but they work. Luckily, you weren't the one to jump into the water to save someone. If you had, there might have been a lot of trouble waiting to be dealt with later. Your sister should have considered all this for you."

"My sister did say it wasn't appropriate for me to go into the water to save someone."

"Your sister is devoted to you, do you really treat her sincerely?"

Tang Yichen looked at Li Taohua seriously: "I understand what Aunt is worried about. My sister treats me sincerely, so I treat her sincerely."

Li Taohua was very satisfied with his answer.

She didn't know whether he was sincere or not, but she just wanted to hear his promises all the time, so that she would feel that everything her daughter had done was worth it.

"Do you think Tang Mingxiu jumped into the water on purpose or did he fall into the water accidentally?" Li Taohua always felt something was wrong.

In fact, people in the village would fall into the water every once in a while, and it was not a new thing. However, she recalled the flicker in Tang Mingxiu's eyes and felt that something was wrong.

"I do not know either."

Li Taohua couldn't get any information out of him, so she stopped paying attention to the matter. She still had a lot of things to deal with at home, so she called Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu to come over and help.

They agreed not to let Qin Huiyin get involved today. They had to do everything they could and let her lend a hand when her help was needed.

When Qin Huiyin came out of the shower, she found that everyone was busy with their own things, even Tang Yichen was processing the fish in the yard.

"Let's ask someone to dig a well in the yard!" Qin Huiyin said, "Otherwise it will be really inconvenient."

"Okay." Tang Yichen said, "I'll go find the village chief later and ask him to help arrange a few people to come over."

Qin Huiyin saw her backpack placed under the eaves and squatted down to sort it out: "I remember I didn't bring it back. Did you help me carry it back?"

"Well." Tang Yichen said, "Come and see if there is anything else that needs to be done with this fish."

Qin Huiyin walked over and pointed at the fish's gills, tail, and the pile of stuff in its belly.

"I saw it clearly just now. Tang Mingxiu wanted to push you into the water. My sudden appearance interrupted their plan, and because he was too nervous, he slipped and fell into the water. Did something happen between you two?"

Tang Yichen spoke very quietly, obviously not wanting others to hear, so he deliberately called her over to question her.

Qin Huiyin promised Tang Mingxiu that she would not tell anyone, but she did not say that she would not tell anyone inside. She was almost assassinated, so of course she would not help her hide it, so she told the truth about the situation in the mountains.
