I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket
Chapter 17 It's You Who Did It
"It turns out that I was too ignorant. My mother scolded me a few days ago. I know I was wrong. I won't be so harsh on the kids in the future. They are actually quite obedient and sensible." Wen Shutang said the words he had prepared in advance without changing his expression.
Aunt Sun immediately stopped doubting what she said and smiled again: "Oh, that's right, just live a good life with your man. The children are still young, don't beat or scold them all the time, and discuss things with each other more often. Otherwise, the people in the village will say bad things about you. Girls should still pay attention to their reputation."
She gave the instructions with a serious look on her face, which made Wen Shutang feel warm for no reason.
After chatting with Aunt Sun for a while, Wen Shutang walked out of the house and went home.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xiao Wan wiping the table. She walked up to Xiao Wan with a basket of chicks and asked a question.
"Wan'er, where is your father?"
When Xiao Wan heard Wen Shutang's voice, she paused, then looked up and saw her pointing outside the yard.
"Dad went outside to collect the hares."
Xiao Yizhuo is a hunter and often hunts pheasants, rabbits and other animals.
Originally, Wen Shutang only liked to eat meat but didn't like to watch Xiao Yizhuo kill animals, so every time Xiao Yizhuo collected the prey, he had to go to an open area not far from home.
Wen Shutang nodded. He had originally wanted to tell him about selling the snake skin for silver. He wondered when this man would be able to come back.
There were constant tiny noises coming from the basket in her hand, which attracted Xiao Wan's attention. She tilted her head to glance at the basket.
Wen Shutang noticed her movements, put the basket on the table and lifted the white cloth covering the basket. A few chicks chirped and stretched their necks and poked their heads out.
When Xiao Wan saw the little chicks, her eyes suddenly lit up and there was a hint of surprise in her tone.
"chick!"
"Yes, these are what Aunt Sun and I caught. When the chicks grow up and lay eggs, we will boil them for you to eat."
Xiao Wan's face became even happier when she heard that. She reached out her hand and carefully touched the furry little chick.
"Do we need to feed the chickens every day? What do they eat?"
"Yes, chickens grow faster if you feed them every day. Just feed them some chaff."
Wen Shutang thought for a moment before answering.
When she went back to her grandmother's house during the holidays, she saw that her grandmother fed the chickens with rice, but feeding chickens with rice seemed a bit of a luxury in this place.
Wen Shutang noticed that Xiao Wan seemed very interested in the chicks: "Wan'er, do you like chicks?"
Xiao Wan nodded, her eyes fixed on the chicks in the basket.
"Then Wan'er, can you go find some chaff to feed the chickens later? I still have to go find Aunt Sun." Wen Shutang discussed with Xiao Wan in a very gentle tone.
Xiao Wan looked up at her, then nodded.
After getting a positive answer, Wen Shutang went back to the house, got the silver and went out again.
Xiao Wan pursed her lips and looked at Wen Shutang's receding back.
My second brother said that my stepmother has indeed changed. Is that true? Is it because my father has returned that she has become so kind? Once my father leaves, she will probably return to her old self?
The little girl had many more doubts in her mind.
Wen Shutang took the silver and went to Aunt Sun's house again. She estimated that a chick would cost at least twenty or thirty cents.
She entered the house and saw Aunt Sun still cleaning the house. When she looked up and saw Wen Shutang, she thought she had dropped something.
"What's wrong, girl? Didn't you take anything?"
"No, auntie, I'm here to give you some money. I'm the one who bought the babies you promised me."
Wen Shutang handed the cloth bag in his hand to Aunt Sun: "Aunt, I don't know how much this cub sells for, so I'll charge 30 coins each. Here are 240 coins, please count."
Aunt Sun was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she came to her senses and waved her hands, saying, "No, no, you are too honest. You don't need so much. A chicken is at most twenty cents. Take back the extra money."
After giving him just the right amount of silver, Wen Shutang turned around and left without staying any longer.
Aunt Sun looked at the cloth bag in her hand and felt that the rumors in the village were unreliable. If Miss Wen was really that scoundrel, why would she be so anxious to send money?
Wen Shutang returned home and found that Xiao Yizhuo had not come back yet. She went back to the room, put the extra silver in the cabinet, and then went to see the chicks.
Xiao Wan placed the bamboo basket containing the chicks on the table in the middle of the yard. She found some chaff and lay on the table to feed the chickens carefully.
She saw Wen Shutang coming and immediately sat up straight: "Mom."
Wen Shutang nodded, looked at the chicks that were somewhat crowded in the basket, and thought about building a chicken coop in the yard.
"Wan'er is doing great. Keep feeding her. I'll go see your brother."
Wen Shutang turned and walked towards the house to the east. She reached out and knocked on the door. Just as she was about to say that she was going in, she heard a dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground from inside the house.
Her heart skipped a beat and she pushed the door open without caring about anything. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xiao Ze sitting on the ground, holding his calf with a painful look on his face.
When he saw Wen Shutang coming in, he immediately restrained his expression and tried to look calm, but the paleness on his face still made Wen Shutang a little confused.
Why is he so pale when he has a high fever? Didn't he sprain his ankle? Why is he covering his calf?
She walked forward and stretched out her hand to help Xiao Ze stand up, and found that Xiao Ze still did not dare to put his legs on the ground.
After helping Xiao Ze onto the bed, she turned around and poured him a glass of water.
Xiao Ze leaned against the head of the bed. The severe pain in his calf that had not yet dissipated made him tremble slightly. He reached out to take the water handed to him by Wen Shutang, and took a sip before he felt much better.
Wen Shutang moved a round stool to sit beside the bed and just looked at him without saying a word.
Xiao Ze felt uncomfortable when she stared at him: "What's wrong?"
"Your calf is injured." Wen Shutang said firmly.
Although Xiao Ze had been covering his calves when he sat on the ground just now, she still caught a glimpse of the dark color that was faintly seeping out of his trouser legs. Moreover, after being in the army for many years, she smelled a bloody smell as soon as she entered the room.
Xiao Ze's face froze and he immediately shook his head.
"No."
"Lift up your trouser legs so I can see."
Hearing Wen Shutang's request, Xiao Ze turned pale, pursed his lips and said nothing, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands.
Wen Shutang squinted her eyes to see his reaction, and she suddenly understood why Xiao Yizhuo's favorability suddenly dropped again.
Seeing that he didn't move, Wen Shutang pretended to lift the quilt.
Xiao Ze sat up straight and held the corner of the quilt. When he looked up and saw Wen Shutang's eyes that brooked no rejection, he immediately wilted.
He lifted the quilt and carefully rolled up his trouser legs to reveal the wound wrapped in gauze.
Wen Shutang was stunned when he saw that the gauze almost wrapped around his entire calf.
Perhaps because he had just fallen and hit his leg, the white gauze was stained with some red blood.
She frowned as she looked at the rough bandage technique and knew that it was Xiao Yizhuo who did it.
It turned out to be just as she guessed. Xiao Ze's leg injury was discovered by Xiao Yizhuo. This man probably thought that she had made things difficult for Xiao Ze again, so his favorability dropped again.
It turned out that this guy was the one who did it.
Wen Shutang sighed and carefully changed the blood-stained gauze. She frowned when she saw the hideous wound covered with powder under the gauze. The child was very thin, so she couldn't help but soften her force and asked as she wrapped new gauze around him.
"How did it happen? It doesn't look like a fight, more like a scratch."
