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

Chapter 173 Account

Tang Yixiao was left in the clinic, so there was one less person to go back.

Seeing Tang Luwu's silence, Qin Huiyin took her hand and said, "Although my brother's health has improved a lot, he's still a sickly person. Especially in the winter, he spends almost all his time in bed. If this Doctor Wei can really take care of his body and let him grow up like a normal boy, that would be a blessing for him."

"I know." Tang Luwu said, "That doctor Wei can not only take care of his body, but also teach him medical skills. These are all opportunities for me. It's just that I have never been apart from him before, and he's suddenly not around, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it. Yinyin, don't worry, I'll get used to it after a while."

"Next time you go to the city, go see him and bring him some delicious food. Big brother has his own way to go, little brother has his own way to go, and we have our own way to go."

"Yinyin, I'm not smart, nor am I as knowledgeable as you. I just know it's right to listen to you." Tang Luwu held her hand tightly. "Don't look down on me."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Huiyin hugged Tang Luwu's shoulders. "You are my sister, my sister for life."

Li Taohua continued to run the business with her two daughters. Although there was no man in the family, it did not affect their lives at all.

However, in order to make everyone less tired, Li Taohua, her mother and daughter discussed it and decided to hire Xiang Chuntao and Wang Juying to help them at the stall.

Xiang Chuntao and Wang Juying were so happy when they received the news of Qin Huiyin's employment that they couldn't stop smiling. They worked very actively, learned things very quickly, and got the hang of it quickly.

Qin Huiyin found that Xiang Chuntao and Wang Juying were more skillful than each other. With their help, they suddenly became free, so they began to implement a rotation system.

Now, the three of them, mother and daughter, plus Xiang Chuntao and her sister, were responsible for the food at the stall, allowing one person to rest at a time. Mr. Tang San was old, and constant work was unacceptable, so Mr. Tang San, Song Tieniu, and Zhang Jieba also took turns resting. Two men were there at a time, not only to help with heavy lifting, but also to protect the women if they encountered rogues.

Seeing the prosperity of Song Tieniu and Zhang Jieba's families thanks to Li Taohua and her daughter, the villagers were envious. Those who had previously looked down on Li Taohua's behavior now actively courted her. Unfortunately, Li Taohua held a grudge and remembered all the gossip she had said about her. She would never give them a chance. Those who hadn't offended her, even if they didn't get to eat the meat, could still get some broth.

"Who the hell pulled out all my vegetable seedlings? Who is it? If you have the guts, stand up and let me know who did it. I will definitely chop off his hands." Aunt Song stood in the vegetable patch, with her hands on her hips, cursing.

The woman in the nearby vegetable patch gloated, "Aunt, who have you offended? Yesterday, manure was thrown in our yard, and today, our vegetable seedlings are being pulled out."

Ever since Uncle Song and Aunt Song found out that Song Tiegen had gotten high up in the dam and became the manager, they have been showing off everywhere, bragging that their son was so capable because he was smart since he was young.

With the exception of Widow Wang, whose husband had died and whose children were too young to contribute to the dam repairs, almost every other family in the village had sent people to work. Who could be happy to hear that someone like Song Tiegen had become the manager, yet no news had come back from their families? Furthermore, Second Uncle and Second Aunt Song were generally unkind, and everyone except a few like-minded families disliked them.

Now that something has happened, there are many people who are gloating over the misfortune, and no one is there to comfort them.

Qin Huiyin walked back holding the wooden basin and told Li Taohua what had just happened.

Li Taohua gestured with the silver hairpin she had just bought on her head.

"I pulled them out," Li Taohua said lazily. "His son sent people to bully me. I just threw manure all over her yard and pulled up the seedlings in her vegetable garden. I let her off easy."

"When was it spilled? How come I don't know?" Qin Huiyin sat down opposite her.

Li Taohua took off the silver hairpin and inserted it on Qin Huiyin's head: "This pattern is more suitable for a girl like you. It's a bit inappropriate for me to wear it."

"Who said that? My mother is more delicate than an eighteen-year-old girl! Put it on quickly." Qin Huiyin flattered him and continued to ask, "When did you go there? Why didn't you call me?"

"I asked Song Tieniu to go. Those things were so smelly, what if they splashed on me? I told him I'd give him ten cents to accompany me to do something bad in the middle of the night, and he was so scared that he almost cried. What a fool he is, what else could I have in mind for him? I told him directly that I wanted to deal with the Song couple and told him my plan. He patted his chest and said that he didn't need any money and that he could go, so I sent him. I didn't show up, and he finished the job alone. As for the vegetable seedlings, I saw his field when I went to pick vegetables today, and I felt unhappy, so I pulled them up."

Qin Huiyin couldn't stop laughing.

The mother and daughter continued to study today's hair accessories, hairstyle, makeup and dresses.

Li Taohua took out the newly made clothes and asked Qin Huiyin to try them on.

After Qin Huiyin put on the new clothes, Li Taohua began to change her hairstyle.

Qin Huiyin usually wore her hair in a high ponytail for convenience. Li Taohua had long since grown tired of seeing this and had always wanted to change her hairstyle. Today, with everyone free, it was a good time to put it into action.

When Tang Luwu walked in, Qin Huiyin had just finished combing her hair. She stood in front of her and turned around: "How do you like this dress? And my hair, does it look good?"

Tang Luwu said, "She's beautiful. Yinyin is the most beautiful girl in the village."

"Come here too, I'll help you comb your hair. How come you don't like to dress up as a girl?" Li Taohua greeted Tang Luwu.

Tang Luwu said shyly: "Mom, my aunt is here with two cousins."

"where is it?"

"In the yard."

Li Taohua stood up and said, "Since we have guests, I'll comb your hair another day. Let's go and take a look. Don't be rude."

Li Taohua came out with her two daughters.

In the courtyard, a woman in patched clothes stood with two skinny girls. Her face was wrinkled and her hair was gray. She was clearly Tang Dafu's sister, but she looked like an old woman. The two girls beside her were not much younger than Tang Luwu, and were about the same height as Tang Yixiao.

"Mother Yun, bring the children in and sit down!" Li Taohua said, "Your eldest brother is not here, Brother Chen is in the academy, and Brother Xiao is an apprentice in the clinic. There are only three of us at home."

"Sister-in-law..." Tang Caiyun knelt down and kowtowed to Li Taohua. "We really can't survive anymore, so we can only come to you for help."
