Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Thank you."

Liao Yunchuan said softly and sat down at the table.

Liao Xiaole and Liao Xiaoan were still full of hostility towards him, but being pulled by Liao Xiaoping, they could only snort and turned around to enter their house.

When Liao Yunchuan said drinking tea, it was really just a cup of tea.

He put down the porcelain cup in his hand, stood up and was about to leave. Jiang Lianzhu politely sent him outside the yard, and was stunned when he saw that everything was empty.

"Did you come on horseback?"

"Yes."

Liao Yunchuan also frowned.

He tied the horse outside the yard, but when he went in to drink a cup of tea, the horse disappeared.

There are never any horse thieves in the village, so this disappearance is strange.

The Song family's daughter-in-law came over carrying some things. She looked at the two of them standing blankly outside the yard and asked curiously.

"Sister Jiang, what are you looking for outside in such a cold weather?"

"Looking for a horse. There was a horse tied outside the yard just now." Jiang Lianzhu responded casually, "Have you seen where the horse went?"

"What a coincidence. I just passed by you and I did see a group of brown-red horses, but they didn't run away by themselves, but were taken away by someone. The person didn't look like a thief. I didn’t stop it.”

The Song family's daughter-in-law answered openly, and couldn't help but feel a little confused when she saw the two men looking thoughtful.

This horse could definitely belong to the Jiang family, but she had never seen anyone in the village specially raise a horse and keep it outside their yard before.

"Sister Jiang, that man left on horseback. If we look for him now, he probably won't be found." Seeing that she seemed to want to chase her, the Song family's daughter-in-law quickly spoke to stop him, "By the way, I see you The man standing next to him should be from outside the village."

"Yes, they are from the town. They came here specially to deliver something to me."

"Hey, if that's the case, I guess I won't be able to go back in the past few days. The bullock carts in the village have also stopped. If you still want to go back to the town, you have to walk."

The Song family's daughter-in-law said regretfully, clarifying the current situation in one sentence.

Jiang Lianzhu was a little stunned after hearing this. She turned her head and glanced at Liao Yunchuan standing beside her, but saw that he didn't seem to have any big reaction.

"Thank you."

Liao Yunchuan said politely to the Song family's wife.

The Song family's daughter-in-law waved her hands, turned and left without saying anything else.

"There are no people raising horses in the village, and now the bullock carts have stopped again." Jiang Lianzhu turned to look at Liao Yunchuan, hesitantly, "It's difficult for you to walk back in this weather, why not stay at my house for now?"

Jiang Lianzhu asked, feeling slightly regretful after saying these words.

Why would she be so enthusiastic about keeping people here? Maybe Liao Yunchuan, a vigilant person, would think that she had other thoughts.

"Right now, it seems there is only one way."

Liao Yunchuan pondered for a while, and then agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Jiang in the past few days."

"Everything else is fine. I happen to have a room in my house that I can clean up for you to live in temporarily. But sooner or later, you have to change the clothes you are wearing. I don't have any men's clothes at home... Otherwise, go to Liu's house and get some for you. ?”

Jiang Lianzhu hesitated for a moment before speaking, looking at Liao Yunchuan with a somewhat erratic look in her eyes.

This was the first time she encountered such a situation. There were so many families in the village, and besides the Liu family, she didn't know anyone particularly well, so she still had to ask them for help.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't think much and took Liao Yunchuan directly to Liu's house.

Aunt Liu brought all her relatives home to celebrate the New Year, and now the whole house was noisy.

When Jiang Lianzhu knocked on the door, it was Liu Li De who answered the door, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Li De, I have something to ask you for help with."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Liide immediately put down the window grille that was halfway stuck in his hand, then gave up his position and asked Jiang Lianzhu to come directly to the room to speak.

Jiang Lianzhu gave Liao Yunchuan a look and asked him to wait outside for her to come out.

"That's right, a person I know came from town to deliver something to me, but the horse he rode has now run away, and the bullock carts in the village have not been running recently. I really have no choice but to stay in my house. Stay."

Jiang Lianzhu explained the situation clearly in a few words. What the Song family's daughter-in-law said about the horse being taken away was bizarre, so she specially changed her explanation.

"Is this such a coincidence?"

Liu Lid was stunned after hearing this. He never expected that all these things could happen together.

"Yes, that's why I want to borrow some clothes from you. After all, I'm going to live in the village for a few days. I can't just wear the clothes I'm wearing."

Jiang Lianzhu sighed and told the purpose of her trip.

After hearing this, Liu Li De immediately understood and asked Jiang Lianzhu to wait outside for a while. In just a moment, he took out several sets of clothes from the house.

"I don't know what that brother's figure is like. The sets of clothes I'm holding are big ones made a few years ago. I've never been able to put them on. The new ones are all new, but I haven't worn them even once. "

As Liu Lide said this, he stuffed the clothes inside into Jiang Lianzhu's arms.

Jiang Lianzhu had helped her family a lot in all aspects. At this time, he definitely couldn't fool her with those tattered clothes, so he simply took out these sets.

"Okay! Thank you Brother Li De. I will wash these clothes after the Chinese New Year and then give them to you. If not, I can just give you the money!"

"We are all neighbors, how can we be so particular about it?"

Liu Lide exclaimed. He originally wanted to leave Jiang Lianzhu in the room to drink some tea, but seeing that she seemed to be in a hurry to leave, he did not say this.

Jiang Lianzhu quickly took the clothes out and gave them to Liao Yunchuan, who was standing nearby waiting, making the latter dumbfounded.

When the two people walked out of the Liu family's yard, Aunt Liu happened to be walking in carrying a basket on her back. Her eyes looked at the two of them several times, which was very meaningful.

"Sister Jiang, you are so fast. You brought me back to the village during the Chinese New Year."

Aunt Liu didn't even ask what the specific situation was. She made a joke based on her countless experience of knowing people.

She could see clearly that these two people were so close, they looked like a good couple.

"Aunt Liu, please stop talking nonsense about this matter. What does it mean that I acted quickly enough? He is a friend of mine. Something happened, so he can only celebrate the New Year in our village. I am going on this trip I came here just to borrow clothes from Brother Lid."
