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

Chapter 119 Trouble

Qin Huiyin got on the ox cart and handed him a basket.

There were five jars of sauce in the basket.

"You eat first, I'll give it to you next time."

Tang Yichen took it and when he lowered his eyes, he accidentally saw another basket, and in that basket were ten cans of seasoning sauce.

Those clay jars of seasoning sauce are twice as big as the ones sold here, which means that even if you eat a bottle of sauce with every meal, it will take you ten days to eat it.

Tang Yichen almost knew who those pottery jars were reserved for. It was precisely because he knew that he had an idea in his mind - his sister liked another brother more.

If not, why prepare more and bigger things for that person?

Qin Huiyin noticed that Tang Yichen was in a daze, followed his gaze, and saw another basket she had prepared.

"Brother Ruize has a few friends who have particularly big appetites. I have to prepare more, otherwise there won't be enough for them."

"That's as it should be." Tang Yichen smiled. "After all, brother has too many classmates. If everyone eats for free, there won't be enough to go around. Sister is really thoughtful."

Qin Huiyin: "..."

She was negligent.

My eldest brother had just arrived at this academy. In modern times, he would be called a transfer student. Such students would be in an awkward position in the class because their old friends were not there and the new classmates might not be willing to accept the sudden appearance of someone.

She took out three jars and placed them in his basket, saying, "Seven bottles should be enough for them to eat for a few days. I'll send more next time. Big brother, don't be stingy. If anyone wants to eat, please give them a taste."

"Wouldn't that be too expensive? Better not to take it and leave it to Song Ruize. It's rare for him to make friends, so it might be helpful to help him maintain the relationship."

"No, you keep it." Qin Huiyin said seriously, "Okay, we're leaving. Go in quickly and don't fall behind in your studies."

After Qin Huiyin left, Tang Yichen looked at the pottery jar in the basket, his eyes full of joy.

He has eight bottles, and Song Ruize only has seven, which is good enough.

but……

Song Ruize's seven bottles are all large.

Tang Yichen sighed softly: "Not all scholars have small stomachs. I can eat quite a lot too. It seems that my sister still doesn't know me, her new brother, well enough. I'll let her know more next time."

Mr. Tang San waved his whip and said to Qin Huiyin beside him: "Other brothers love their sisters, but you are so good. You take such good care of your two brothers."

"I take care of them when they need to be taken care of, and they will take care of me when I need to be taken care of by them. There is no such thing as free love in this world. It is all mutual."

"You're a good girl, you think things through very thoroughly. Are you really a twelve-year-old girl?"

"Third Grandpa, although I am young, I have seen a lot of things. Never underestimate any young person."

At the dam entrance, Qin Huiyin said she wanted to find Song Ruize. The yamen runner, who had been kind to her before, stopped her this time, refusing to let her in or help her find someone.

"Brother, has something happened to my brother?" Qin Huiyin asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, it's just that more and more construction is going on inside, and the higher-ups have issued a strict order not to allow outsiders to set foot inside. Don't bother us."

"I won't go in. Can I just meet here?" Qin Huiyin said, "Please, big brother."

"You wait here." After all, the bailiff had accepted her things, so it was not appropriate to completely deny her a chance. He said something to another person and went in to look for someone else.

At this time, Song Ruize was lying on the bed with a bloody mess on his back.

Jiang Qibin and several other people were standing there, very worried, and they kept saying that they couldn't call a doctor for such a serious injury and they had to wait for orders from above.

"It's my fault. Yesterday when you went to the provincial capital, Erzhu, Jinyuan and I stayed behind but didn't watch over the things. Some shameless people sneaked in and stole them, resulting in the loss of so many iron tools. We should have been the ones to get beaten. Brother Ze, why are you so stupid to take the beating for us?" Jiang Qingnan said guiltily.

"You are my people. If you make a mistake, it is my mistake. Instead of everyone getting beaten, it's better for me to take it alone. Besides, how many beatings can your small bodies withstand?"

"I can bear it, but you won't let me." Chen Yong patted his strong chest.

"You didn't do anything wrong, so why should you suffer? You can bear it, but how can a big brother let a little brother take the blame? I, Song Ruize, will protect my people."

"What should we do next?" Jiang Qibin asked, "We can't let this happen to us. We have to find this shameless guy."

"It's not easy to find. Whoever was deliberately causing trouble to distract you yesterday is the one who knows the truth. Just think about what to do after you find him. Either don't do it, or do it violently."

The bailiff came in and said to Song Ruize, who was lying there, "Master Song, your sister is here again. I was worried that she would know about your injury, so I stopped her."

"Thank you." Song Ruize thanked him weakly and looked at Jiang Qibin. "You've met her a few times, and you're good at coaxing people. When you go see her, just tell her that I was called away by the dam head and won't be back soon. If she gives you something, take it first, and then give her my salary for this month."

"all?"

"Ah."

"Brother Ze, you're injured and need medical attention! Tong Baotou sent someone to beat you up and won't let you see a doctor. As long as Qian Baotou comes back, we'll tell him the whole story and he'll definitely help you. You'd better save your money for the doctor!"

"No need. Whoever injured me should pay the medical fee. There was a fight between the dam heads, and the man didn't hit me, but dam head Qian in the face, so dam head Qian will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Then I really took it!"

"Long-winded."

Qin Huiyin paced at the door.

Third Master Tang was dizzy from watching this and said, "Girl Yin, don't worry. Didn't that person just say that this is an order from their superiors not to let outsiders in? Besides, they didn't allow outsiders in anyway, you only got in a few times because of luck. Now their rules are stricter, so they don't dare let you in, which is normal."

"No." Qin Huiyin said, "I have a feeling that something must have happened to him."

"Sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..." Jiang Qibin ran over with his usual smile on his face.

Qin Huiyin looked at him and asked in confusion, "Why is it you?"

"Look at what you said. Am I that annoying?" Jiang Qibin said with a look of disappointment. "I heard that the girl was coming, so I dropped my work and rushed to see you."

"Where's my brother?"

"He's in charge now and has a lot to do. He was just called away by the dam head." Jiang Qibin said, "But he has something for you."

Jiang Qibin handed over the string of copper coins: "Your brother said that he can't eat all your food for free. These are his wages, and he keeps them all for you."

"All of them?" Qin Huiyin roughly estimated that such a long string would cost at least five hundred coins.

"Yes, all of it. Oh, and I still owe you money, so I'll pay it back this time." Jiang Qibin said embarrassedly, "It was thanks to you that I didn't die of illness last time."
