I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this.

Wen Shutang sneered and looked up at the villagers who were so righteous: "You guys say things so easily and nicely. My family doesn't have any sheep trapped in the mountains, and we don't owe you anything. Why should I take risks with you? Think before you speak. Do you have the nerve to deserve my husband to take risks for you? You are all grown up, but you still say such shameless things."

The villagers were so shocked by her words that they couldn't say a word in reply. Before they could react, Wen Shutang continued to speak.

"People live by their faces, and trees live by their skins. How can you say that the village took him in for nothing? My husband paid for the yard. You can say that he lives here for free. If you give me ten taels of silver, I will move my family to another place right now. If you can't pay, just shut up."

The villagers lowered their heads after hearing her words. No one retorted. Liu Shan's face turned red and he pointed at Wen Shutang, unable to say anything.

Wen Shutang sneered and glanced at everyone. They dared to use moral blackmail. If she didn't convince them today, she would not be called Wen Shutang.

"Why are you silent? Are you mute? It's not that I can't help you at all, but what are you trying to do with your arrogant attitude? Do we owe you something? Do we deserve to help you?"

What she said made perfect sense, and no one could say a word to refute it.

Chen Rui also had a bit of shame on her face: "Don't be angry, sister. We are all just anxious and confused. We didn't mean to slander your man."

Xiao Yizhuo stood behind her, his eyes fell on the petite figure standing in front of him, his brows moved slightly. This was the first time someone stood in front of him to block all bad words for him.

This feeling was indeed somewhat strange, and Xiao Yizhuo's gaze softened involuntarily.

Especially when he heard Wen Shutang call him "my husband", for some reason his heartbeat started to speed up, and he even felt excited.

The two Wen brothers were originally standing up for Xiao Yizhuo, but they relaxed after seeing Wen Shutang's fighting ability.

The villagers also realized how impertinent their remarks were, and they expressed their apologies immediately.

"I'm sorry, girl. I was just anxious. When I saw you guys didn't want to do it, I spoke a little aggressively. Don't take it to heart."

"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with them. It's their duty whether they go or not. We are just too impatient."

Wen Shutang was not the kind of person who would hold on to other people's mistakes. She just couldn't stand the way these people wanted to ask for help but didn't have the attitude to ask for help. When she heard someone apologize, her anger gradually subsided.

Chen Rui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the atmosphere had eased, and quickly said, "Alright, alright, everyone, stop wasting time. Since we are going up the mountain, hurry back and get your stuff. We'll be ready to go up the mountain later."

Just when everyone was about to leave, they suddenly heard a cry.

"Help! He's missing! The child is missing!"

A woman came running over from a distance, crying and shouting, and even fell down because she was too anxious.

Someone in the crowd recognized the woman as his daughter-in-law, and quickly squeezed out to help her up, his tone tinged with anxiety.

"What did you say? What child is missing? Where can he go in this snowy day?"

The woman wiped her tears and explained with sobs, "I don't know either. The child went out to play when I was cooking in the morning and hasn't come back since. I thought he was just playing around, so I kept looking for him in the village, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I only found a set of footprints on the path leading to the back mountain. I'm afraid the child went to the back mountain!"

The man who heard this suddenly became anxious and grabbed his wife's shoulders and shook her wildly.

"Why don't you think highly of him? Can he go up the mountain in the snow? How can you be a mother? If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you!"

The woman didn't know what to say and just kept wiping her tears and crying.

The sudden incident caught everyone off guard, and Chen Rui stepped forward to comfort them.

"Don't worry, don't worry. The child might not have gone up the mountain. Let's all help you look for him."

Everyone responded and started to help look for the child, but in the end they couldn't find him. The man sat dejectedly in the snow. Now all signs indicated that the child had indeed gone up the mountain.

The woman's eyes were red from crying, and her eyes were full of despair.

The snow is getting heavier now, and everyone knows what would happen if a child was trapped in the mountains.

Wen Shutang frowned and looked at the two of them. She felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the bad news.

Xiao Yizhuo suddenly reached out and held her wrist. Wen Shutang felt the warmth in his hand and turned to look at her.

But seeing the calmness and silence in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes, Wen Shutang understood his thoughts in an instant.

Wen Shutang frowned. Although she didn't want Xiao Yizhuo to take this risk, there seemed to be no other way now.

"are you going?"

Xiao Yizhuo didn't say anything, but his eyes had already given Wen Shutang the answer.

She also knows that human life is of paramount importance, and life comes first. Everything else must give way to it.

Wen Shutang took a deep breath and walked to the couple: "Don't cry yet, go back and pack your things and go up the mountain to save people. It should still be in time now."

The man raised his head and looked at Wen Shutang blankly, then glanced at Xiao Yizhuo. Seeing that they both nodded, he was stunned at first, then surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Would you like to help me and go up the mountain with me?"

The woman also cast a hopeful look at him.

Wen Shutang nodded slightly: "Don't delay, hurry up and pack up, and those who want to go up the mountain together, go home and get your stuff."

The villagers were all encouraged. Chen Rui looked at Wen Shutang gratefully, said a few words of thanks, and went home to prepare.

Only Wen Qing and the Wen brothers stood there looking at Xiao Yizhuo worriedly. They all knew how dangerous it was to go up the mountain in heavy snow.

Before they could speak, Xiao Yizhuo comforted them: "It's okay, I'm very familiar with the back mountain, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved.

"Then son-in-law should go home and change his clothes. Wear something thicker. It must be cold in the mountain." Wen Qing turned around and walked back first.

After returning home, Liu Sufen and Zhou Tong heard that Xiao Yizhuo was going up the mountain in the snow, and they both expressed their concern.

Wen Shutang silently pulled Xiao Yizhuo into the house and found him a set of cotton clothes, his tone neither cold nor hot.

"Be careful when you go there, and let those around you protect you."

"They will stay to protect you. Don't worry about me, it's okay." Xiao Yizhuo took the clothes and said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Who's worried about you? I'm just afraid that no one will be my ally." Wen Shutang glanced at him and turned his head away proudly.
