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

Wen Shutang's words calmed Xiao Ze down. He had just heard that the villagers abandoned their father in order to save their lives, and he was so angry that he said such paranoid words.

His father had always told him to stay calm and composed in the face of difficulties, and his stepmother also told him to be kind to others.

When Xiao Ze thought things through, he naturally lost his terrifying temperament. Wen Shutang noticed the change in his mood and felt a little relieved.

It seems that the child listened to what I said, which is good.

"I tell you this because you are the eldest son in the family. I hope Aze can comfort your younger brothers and sisters when necessary, instead of letting you collapse first. Do you understand, Aze?" Wen Shutang stared at Xiao Ze with burning eyes.

When Xiao Ze heard her voice, he looked up at her, then nodded seriously.

"I see."

He now understood why Wen Shutang told the truth. Thinking of his two younger brothers and sisters, a sense of responsibility rose from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing the firm tone in Xiao Ze's words, Wen Shutang immediately felt relieved. She relaxed completely and looked at Xiao Ze with satisfaction.

"Good boy, I'll leave Aye and Wan'er to you. It's best not to let them know about this, so as not to make the two children too worried."

Xiao Ze nodded and responded, then turned and left the room.

Wen Shutang watched Xiao Ze walk out and close the door, and she was the only one left in the room.

She sat alone on a round stool, looking at the falling snow outside the window, thinking secretly.

Xiao Yizhuo, you must come back to see me safely.

Wen Shutang didn't want him to return safely because of the mission, but just wanted him to stand in front of her in good health.

After this incident, everyone paid special attention to Wen Shutang's emotions.

Either Wen Yaoshi came to bring water or Wen Ruizhou came to bring fruit, and Wen Qing would occasionally come to chat with Wen Shutang.

The content is mostly about persuading her not to be too worried and sad.

Wen Shutang knew the good intentions of these people, so she acted very naturally and relaxed. Whether she was cooking or helping with housework, she was no different from usual. If an outsider saw her, they would wonder why she was not worried at all.

Seeing that her condition was no different from usual, Wen Qing felt a little relieved, but his two brothers did not relax. After all, their little sister was different now.

Although she may not show any expression on her face, who knows what she is feeling inside.

No one told Liu Sufen about this. She hadn't seen Xiao Yizhuo for a long time and was a little confused.

As evening approached, Liu Sufen took Wen Shutang's hand and whispered, "My son-in-law hasn't come back yet? It's been a whole day."

"Don't worry, Mom. It must be because the snow is too heavy and it's difficult to go down the mountain. We will definitely be back tomorrow." Wen Shutang touched her hand and comforted her.

Liu Sufen stared at Wen Shutang's face and didn't find anything wrong, but she still felt a little depressed, as if everyone was hiding something from her.

"Okay, then you should go to the village entrance and keep an eye on him, in case he comes back early tomorrow morning." Liu Sufen instructed.

"I understand, mother. You should get some rest. I will take the children to bed as well." Wen Shutang smiled and nodded, then stood up and pinched Xiao Wan's little hand beside him to signal.

After receiving Wen Shutang's signal, Xiao Wan immediately walked forward, hugged Liu Sufen's arm, and spoke sweetly.

"Don't worry, grandma. Daddy is awesome. He will definitely be back tomorrow. My brother and I are going to go and rest with mom. Grandma, you should also go to sleep."

Hearing Xiao Wan's childish voice, Liu Sufen's heart almost melted and she nodded in agreement.

"Oh, good, good boy, go and get some rest, and come back to accompany your grandma tomorrow."

"Okay——" Xiao Wan agreed with a smile.

Xiao Ye also echoed, "I will come to see grandma tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Aye is also a good boy, you all have to be obedient." Liu Sufen's eyes smiled into crescents and she waved at them.

"Okay, take the kids to rest."

Wen Shutang took the two children back to his room. Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan washed up very consciously and climbed onto the bed and lay down in a row.

Both of them stared at Wen Shutang with bright eyes: "Mom, what story are you going to tell today?"

Wen Shutang burst out laughing. It turned out that every child had no resistance to Andersen's fairy tales and Grimm's fairy tales.

"Today I will tell you a story about Snow White."

Wen Shutang blew out the oil lamp, lay on the bed and whispered the story.

The two children fell asleep quickly. Wen Shutang lay on the bed. There was silence all around her, as if she was the only one left in the world.

Wen Shutang didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he felt very tired and it was obvious that he didn't get enough rest.

As she was standing in the yard washing up, yawning, Wen Shutang walked around the village after she had finished cleaning up, and his steps unconsciously kept wanting to walk towards the village entrance.

They met many villagers along the way, but none of them dared to look Wen Shutang in the eye. Anyone who saw Wen Shutang lowered his head and hurried past.

Wen Shutang didn't care at all. He stood at the entrance of the village for a while but didn't wait for the person he wanted to see.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel lost.

When she returned home, she found Wen Qing and her two brothers standing at the gate of the yard, looking around anxiously.

When Wen Qing saw Wen Shutang, he immediately walked up to her and pulled her to look left and right: "Where have you been? You left so early in the morning without telling me."

"I'm going for a walk. It's okay, Dad. You don't have to worry about me." Wen Shutang knew that he was afraid that she would do something stupid, but she would never do such meaningless things.

Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, with a hesitant look on his face: "Xiao Qiu'er, if you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up. Don't hold it in your heart, or you will get sick."

"I'm fine, don't worry, Dad. Really."

Despite hearing Wen Shutang's comforting words, the worried expression on Wen Qing's face did not diminish at all.

Wen Shutang originally thought that Xiao Yizhuo would be back today at most, but there was no news until the evening.

She comforted herself in her heart that it was probably delayed by the snow.

Such words of comfort did not have any effect. Wen Shutang's uneasiness gradually deepened, and he became a little anxious.

Three days passed without any news from Xiao Yizhuo. Wen Shutang could no longer sit still and planned to pack up some things and sneak up the mountain.

If you want to see the person alive, you must see the body. You can't just wait like this.

She called Xiao Ze into the room and told him some things. When Xiao Ze heard that she was going up the mountain, he was shocked and quickly began to persuade her.

"Mom, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. You should wait a little longer. What if you come back tomorrow?"

"It's been snowing heavily for three days and there's no sign of stopping. We can't just sit there and wait any longer. You must take good care of your younger brothers and sisters and your grandparents at home." Wen Shutang said in a low voice, looking at the cold moonlight outside the window, his heart heavy.
