My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

"Good heavens! That damned city bastard dared to swindle me!"

Hu Dezhu slapped his thigh suddenly, and when he realized what was happening, his face turned green with anger.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Hu Dezhu's wife, Chen Huiling, huddled on the kang (a heated brick bed) gnawing on a hard, dried sweet potato and looked over.

"We were fooled by that little beast Guan! There was no fine at all! His whole family ate all four hundred catties of wild boar meat!"

Hu Dezhu roared angrily, his small triangular eyes flashing with greed and malice.

The thought of all that bubbling, fatty meat in that big iron pot ending up in the bellies of the Lin family father and son and those girls made Hu Dezhu so jealous he felt like his intestines were about to burst!

"No way! Daya and Siya are both my older brother's children! They're the blood of the Hu family! Why should that outsider, Widow Guan, get all the benefits?!"

Hu Dezhu's small eyes darted around, and then an extremely vicious plan came to mind.

I went to beg for meat yesterday and got scolded and sent home!

Today, he not only wants the meat, but also to get back all the benefits he received from those two girls!

Thinking of this, he quickly put on his tattered cotton-padded coat and plunged into the snow.

"Where are you going in this freezing weather?" Chen Huiling asked, puzzled.

"I'm going to collect my debt!"

Hu Dezhu shouted, and his pace quickened.

The thought of his plan made him incredibly excited. He was walking briskly, and he didn't look like he hadn't eaten for days at all.

Half an hour later, Hu Dezhu led two men and set off aggressively on the mountain road leading to the Guan family compound.

Walking to Hu Dezhu's left is Li the carpenter, a well-known old widower from the neighboring village.

This man, with a face full of scars, was almost forty years old. Two years ago, he got drunk and beat his ex-wife to death. Now he's in a hurry to exchange twenty pounds of cornmeal for a young, unmarried woman to be his wife.

Walking to his right was the town's notorious thug, "Scabby Head," followed by several hooligans carrying wooden sticks.

"Brother Li, Brother Lai, don't worry!"

Hu Dezhu led the way with flattery while patting his chest and making assurances.

"My eldest daughter is twenty this year, and she's absolutely gorgeous with a great figure and a big bottom—perfect for bearing children! She'd be a real blessing to marry you, Brother Li! As for my fourth daughter, she might have a bit of a temper, but she's incredibly beautiful. If you take her home as a child bride, Brother Lai, she'll definitely make sure you're well taken care of!"

"If you help me subdue that crazy widow Guan today and forcibly take her away, we'll split the several hundred catties of wild boar meat from the Guan family equally!"

Carpenter Li rubbed his hands together lewdly, his mind already wandering to inappropriate thoughts after hearing Hu Dezhu's words.

His Adam's apple bobbed. "Old Hu, you said it yourself! This marriage was arranged by their own uncle. Even at the commune level, it's perfectly legitimate!"

Hu Dezhu chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Of course! Of course!"

Upon hearing Hu Dezhu's words, the bald-headed man and the other thugs exchanged glances and then chuckled lewdly.

At this moment, the Guan family was gathered around the table in the courtyard, enjoying the meal prepared by Lin Hai himself, and they were having a very happy time.

"Xiao Qi, you've been learning too much these days, you need to eat more to replenish your energy."

As Lin Hai spoke, he felt sorry for Guan Xiaoqi and put more food on her plate.

Guan Xiaoqi knew she couldn't help with the various things that had happened at home these past few days, so she spent her free time studying diligently.

Except when there's something to do and he has to stand up, he spends the rest of his time buried in his textbooks.

Upon hearing this, Guan Siya's eyes began to dart around.

"Fourth Sister~"

Guan Siya's body tensed up instinctively just now, and sure enough, she heard her own name the next second.

"Eat more too. I know it's not easy for you to concentrate on your studies, and it must be hard for you to study so much."

Upon hearing this, Guan Siya was stunned. She had originally thought that after Lin Hai praised Xiao Qi, he would call her to scold her.

After all, she knew that her studies were indeed somewhat poor, and she didn't expect him to praise her.

This made Guan Siya blush deeply, and she immediately felt embarrassed.

She said hesitantly, "Thank you, Dad. I... I will try my best too."

Seeing Guan Siya's expression, the innocent Guan Daya couldn't help but smile and say, "Siya, are you embarrassed?"

Guan Siya: "!! Big sister, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!!"

Lin Chuan: "Pfft!"

Guan Siya was furious: "Lin Chuan!! What do you mean? Were you just making fun of me?"

Lin Chuan quickly raised his hand, "No, no! Fourth Sister, please don't think anything of it, hahaha..."

Just as everyone was making a ruckus, the door of the Guan family compound was suddenly banged on from the outside.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everyone was startled by the loud knocking.

Guan Hongying, who had been smiling, put down her chopsticks in annoyance after hearing the knock on the door.

"Who the hell is trying to call back the soul?!"

However, before everyone could get up to open the door, the courtyard door was violently kicked open!

The force was so great that it almost broke the door bolt!

"Guan Hongying! Daya! Siya! Come out here!"

The next second, Hu Dezhu’s arrogant roar suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

The cowardly, helpless look he had yesterday is completely gone, replaced by an arrogant and domineering attitude!

The piece of vermicelli that Guan Siya had just put into her mouth fell back into the bowl with a "plop".

Upon hearing the sound, she stood up abruptly and drew the wood-chopping knife from the side.

"That old bastard dares to come today?!"

Guan Hongying stood up with a cold face and strode out of the house.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan and the other girls followed closely behind.

Lin Hai originally wanted to go too, but then he thought about his wife's fierce appearance.

If a fight breaks out outside, his small frame won't be of any help at all; he might even be a hindrance!

Now that even his son can help, he might as well give up...

With this in mind, he wisely stood by the window, looking worriedly out of the yard.

The family walked out with cold faces.

But when he saw the group of thugs following behind Hu Dezhu, and Li the carpenter with a lewd smile and lewd eyes staring intently at Daya and Siya, he was shocked.

Guan Daya's face turned deathly pale instantly, and a wave of nausea washed over her.

"Hu Dezhu, you haven't found your brain again after running away yesterday, have you?"

Lin Chuan stood in front of Guan Daya and Guan Siya with his hands in his pockets and a half-smile on his face.

"What? You brought so many people today, are you going to pay that thirty yuan fine for the Guan family?"

"Pah! You foul-mouthed little bastard, you dare try to fool me with that nonsense!"
