Luo Yu couldn't stop him in time. He could only watch as his cheap little brother got drenched by the spray of water thrown up by the passing train. His hand tightened around the whip, then tightened again. He couldn't hit him. If he did, the kid would only laugh harder. A dumb little brother like this could be thrown to the spiders, and even they wouldn't eat him! Maybe it really would be better to sell him to the humans. (Just kidding.)
Three shameless younger sisters were eyeing her covetously, ready to steal her place as mistress of the house. Behind her were seven virtuous younger brothers, all intent on learning how to serve their father and plotting against one another.
