My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

The younger sister was startled and quickly stepped back. Si Xingzhi stepped forward to block his daughter, staring at the men in front of him.

"What do you want to do? Don't mess around, or else... I'll report you to the police!"

The man sneered: "It is only natural to pay back debts. If you don't pay back the money, you must use something else to pay it back. Land or daughter, you choose!"

The Si family had been exiled here, originally without any land. It was only when Dalang earned some money during his lifetime that they were able to buy land, a total of thirty acres. Their status prevented them from buying good farmland, so they could only buy wasteland. Erlang slowly reclaimed and cleaned it up, and while the harvest had been good in recent years, Erlang still had to go hunting in the mountains, forcing the original owner to do something to barely support the family.

Now that Erlang is no longer hunting to supplement the family income, if he were to go out and farm, how would the family survive?

The younger sister immediately shouted, "No! The land is the hard work of my elder and second brothers. We can't give it to anyone else!"

"But Wan'er, how can I let you suffer?"

Si Xingzhi was extremely anxious. What should he do? Oh, and there was the eldest girl. She was the one who took care of all the family matters.

He rushed into the room and looked at Si Muyan, who was still lying on the bed in a daze. He shouted, "Yan'er, there are people outside collecting debts. They want to kidnap your sister. What should we do?"

Si Muyan looked at him in confusion. What did it have to do with her? She wasn't the one who owed the money. This man was really strange. If he really cared about his daughter and the family's land, why did he go gambling before?

Si Xingzhi lay on the bed and cried: "Big girl, you have to think of a way quickly. Dad knows you are angry with me. Come on, hit me, hit me, okay?"

It was like this before. Whenever Si Xingzhi lost money outside, the original owner would get angry and beat him up, but in the end he would find a way to get the money out and compensate him.

The younger sister followed in and saw her elder sister lying on the bed, pale and numb. She pointed at Si Xingzhi and started cursing, "Dad, you're the one who caused this, and you're the one who brought this person here. My elder sister has become like this for you and for this family, and you won't let her go? She's seriously injured, and Doctor Zhang said she needs to be well taken care of. You're still trying to provoke her. Do you dislike her..."

She wanted to ask, "Don't you think your elder sister died quickly enough?" But it was unlucky, so she refused to say it, only wiping her tears and crying even harder.

Si Muyan turned her gaze and looked at her younger sister. It was really strange. No matter how chaotic the family was before, her younger sister didn't care and only fought for petty gains at home. But today, she has changed her nature and actually thought about her elder sister?

Si Xingzhi didn't act like the head of the family at all. He just cried, "What should I do? You are my precious daughter. How can I let them take you away?"

Those people don't do serious things. If they get a young girl, who knows how they will treat her, not to mention that their own daughter is so beautiful!

"I can't control you, but you are not allowed to disturb my big sister's rest!" The younger sister cursed angrily, gritted her teeth and turned to go out, "Don't worry about it, I'll think of a way."

The younger sister was pretty, clever, and always smiling. She grabbed a bag of popcorn from the house and walked up to the leading man. "Big Brother, you've all worked hard on this journey. Here are some popcorns for you as a snack..."

"Don't try to get close to me. Think carefully about whether you want to give it to the field or to the person."

As the man spoke, he looked the younger sister up and down, a lustful look in his eyes. The three daughters of the Si family were all more beautiful than the last. The eldest, Yan, was the most common, but she was always scowling, always yelling or cursing, and occasionally even hitting her father, like a country bumpkin, making her look disgusting. This youngest daughter was already prettier than her older sisters, with a delicate demeanor that made her very appealing.

Tsk tsk tsk, that's why they say that the Si guy doesn't know how to enjoy his life. With three beautiful girls like these, if he gives one away, he'll have an endless supply of money.

The younger sister, of course, knew what the man was thinking. She lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in them, then raised her head with a smile on her face. She came closer and said aggrievedly, "Brother, it's all my father's fault for making you make such a trip. But you can see the situation in my family... My second brother just passed away today, and my eldest sister is seriously injured and can't get up. Oh, brother, can you give me a few days? I'll go borrow money tomorrow..."

The man was about to refuse, but he saw the little girl raised her white and tender hand and touched the back of his hand.

"Brother, please be kind."

Such a little beauty, with her breath as sweet as orchid, begging for mercy in front of him, even the hardest-hearted man would soften a little.

He had just heard that Si Erlang was dead, so he hurried over to collect his debt. Now, looking at the Si family's situation, with the head of the family dead, how long can they hold out? And the money owed to him all carries interest, so it's okay to wait a few days. He wasn't afraid that this little beauty wouldn't give in!

After seeing them off, the younger sister collapsed to the ground, her crisis temporarily over. She had to go out. Her second brother's body was placed in the charity cemetery at the entrance of the village. She would go and take a look. When she came back, she would ask her eldest sister what to do about her second brother's funeral.

Just as I was about to go out, I heard shouting outside.

"Mr. Si, come out here and see what your Anzi has done!"

Si Jing'an, the youngest brother of the Si family, is only eleven years old now. He is away from home all day long. Everyone in the Si family is busy and has no time to take care of him.

My younger sister's heart tightened, and she felt overwhelmed. She hurried out and saw three middle-aged women twisting the tied-up younger brother and walking in aggressively. Behind them were five little kids, all with injuries on their heads and faces.

"Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhu, Aunt Zhao, this..."

Aunt Wang walked up and threw my younger brother to the ground. He was tied up with ropes and his mouth was blocked with rags. He fell down like that, his face wrinkled in pain, but he couldn't move.

"Your Anzi beat our kids like this, what do you say?"

The younger sister didn't bother to look at her brother, and hurriedly nodded and bowed: "It's all Anzi's fault, calm down..."

Aunt Zhu was furious: "Of course it's his fault. How did you raise your son? Every day in the village, he's either fighting with this kid or causing trouble with that kid? We in Songji Village took you in out of kindness, is that to let prisoners like you bully our children?"

"It's our fault." The younger sister apologized to the three people with tears in her eyes. "A lot of things happened at home today. My second brother is gone, and something happened to my eldest sister... I didn't have time to discipline Anzi. Aunt, Auntie, I..."

Before he could finish his words, a shrill scream was heard from the yard. A woman in her forties rushed out, pointing a broom in her hand at the person in front of her, glaring and shouting.

"Jingyu, don't be afraid, mother is here! Who is so bold as to bully even the prince of the Marquis' Mansion? This lady will never let him go!"
