Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

I'm here to update~~~My teeth are fine. I went to change the medicine and finally the pain is gone after I got home.

I had hotpot last night. I don’t know if it was because I had a sore throat, but the pain almost killed me. I fell asleep only after taking painkillers.

So everyone must protect their teeth! !

Granny Wang then fried two more dishes before starting to cook wild vegetables for Zhou Rongrong.

Zhou Rongrong held a bowl of rice and her own bowl of vegetables, which contained a hodgepodge and more of Zhou Rongrong's wild vegetables. She happily took the bowl of rice and went home to eat.

Granny Wang had a loud voice and she yelled that it was time to eat. Then there was a clattering sound and people from the construction site and the yard came out. Seeing that they were not lining up, Granny Wang knocked on the edge of the pot with her big spoon and shouted.

"Get in line, get in line."

These people started queuing up, mainly because they saw the food. There was a lot of meat in the bowl, and each person had a spoonful. Each person had several pieces of meat, and the meat was cut thickly and greasy, making them drool just by looking at it.

The other two pots are braised bamboo shoots made from spring bamboo shoots from the mountains, which also contain a lot of meat. The other pot is vegetables, and the staple food is a small spoonful of rice and boiled sweet potatoes.

The main reason was that rice was expensive, and Zhou Rongrong didn’t dare to take it directly from the space, so she bought a lot of sweet potatoes from the villagers and cooked and ate them.

The food was already extremely good, so Granny Wang and her companions served meals to each of them one by one. Those who received the meals held their bowls and squatted on the ground to eat. There were also three or five close friends who would look at their bowls.

Seeing that there was meat in the bowl, they smiled at each other and spoke well of the host's family. The women who worked in Zhou Rongrong's house felt proud when they heard it.

This is their main home, how can it be bad?

After a lunch that couldn't be better, everyone worked even harder in the afternoon, and the village chief was extremely satisfied.

Every time her mother-in-law came back, she would talk about what she had eaten at Madam Zhou's house at noon.

He was so greedy that he got to eat it today. He even wondered if he could go to Zhou Rongrong's house to work.

Being able to eat meat every day is simply a heavenly life.

Zhou Rongrong had no idea what Uncle Zhou was thinking. She ate alone in the main room and felt that life was really hopeful.

After Zhou Rongrong took the four children home, she took them for a tour of the construction site, pointing at the still-invisible construction site and telling them where everything was.

The four children couldn't control their excitement and shouted loudly. They brought tea and wiped the sweat off their older brothers and uncles who were still working, and told them to repair their house.

The four kids were obedient, well-behaved and sweet-spoken and agreed readily, not forgetting to praise Zhou Rongrong.

Several children were carrying bulging bellies, looking very proud.

After that, Zhou Rongrong didn’t have to worry about the dinner anymore as Grandma Wang had also arranged it. Of course, there were no two meat dishes from lunch, but it was also very good.

Zhou Rongrong prepared the children’s meals alone. After a busy day, it was dark and everyone had left.

Zhou Rongrong closed the door, pulled the five babies into the room, and carefully took out the medicinal herbs and ginseng collected today.

Sanbao was the first to react, looking at the ginseng with its roots intact.

"Mom, this is, this is ginseng? Wild ginseng?"

“Yes, it is ginseng.”

The five children all knew that ginseng was a very expensive commodity. It was heard that one piece cost one or two taels of silver in the medicine shop. Wild ginseng was even more expensive.

So Zhou Rongrong told the children about Xiaobai.

The children looked at Xiaobai and saw that it didn't move in its nest after eating. They thought it was impossible. How could such a fat little fox be as powerful as their mother/aunt said?

Zhou Rongrong said seriously again.

"It's true. Xiaobai can find medicinal herbs. Sanbao, you should take good care of it in the future. If it doesn't obey you, just tell me and I will take care of it."

After all, Xiaobai in this family is very smart and none of the children can control him. But Zhou Rongrong, who has never fed Xiaobai well, is the person he fears the most.

Xiaobai regretted it. He should have become a useless fox earlier. What's the point of being so conspicuous? Now that he was being targeted by this tigress, he couldn't help but curl himself up into a ball and turn his butt towards Zhou Rongrong.

Zhou Rongrong just slapped it on the butt. Fortunately, Xiaobai had thick fur and Zhou Rongrong didn't really hit it, so it didn't hurt at all. But Xiaobai seemed to have suffered great injustice, and turned to Sibao's arms with tears in his eyes.

Sibao patted its chubby belly lovingly to comfort it.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, mother won't really hit you."

Zhou Rongrong rolled her eyes and ignored the two of them, handing the comb to Sanbaodao.

"It has been shedding a lot lately, so you should comb it more often to prevent it from shedding too much."

Sanbao hummed, took the comb, and looked at the herbs on the table: "Mom, what are you going to do with these herbs?"

Zhou Rongrong waved her hand and said, "I'll give it to you. I don't need it. Let's keep this ginseng in our family in case of emergency."

Dabao disagreed. After all, the family was building a house, and it would cost a lot of money if they bought ginseng. That way, there would be no problem with the money for building the house, and his mother wouldn't have to light an oil lamp in the middle of the night to count the money.

Dabao: "Mom, let's sell it. I heard from Zhang Jizhong that his family also has one of these ginsengs. His father spent a lot of money to buy it. We are building a house now, and the money..."

Sanbao also took back his hand that was about to touch the ginseng and said, "Yes, Mom, let's sell it. Anyway, we have Xiaobai, and we can still find it."

Even Erbao thought that it should be sold. He wondered how much such a big house would cost.

Zhou Rongrong touched the children's heads lovingly, even Jiang Manman's head, she touched it gently.

"No need. I'm not short of money right now. Besides, ginseng is a precious medicinal herb. It can save lives. We need to have some at home. If Xiaobai finds a second one, we can sell it, okay?"

Zhou Rongrong has the final say at home. No one refutes her ideas. Since Zhou Rongrong has made the decision, the children will not say anything more.

At worst, we can take Xiaobai up the mountain during the day off. Zhou Rongrong knew what the children were thinking and raised her fist to threaten them.

"You are not allowed to go up the mountain to look for herbs. I must lead you. There are ferocious beasts in there."

After all, the ecology in the mountains is good, and there are animals like tigers, so there are all kinds of animals. It is dangerous for children to go up the mountains, and we must nip the signs in the bud.

The next step is to process the ginseng. Fresh ginseng cannot be stored for too long and needs special processing before it can be preserved. Sanbao doesn’t know how to process it, but he wants to see how Doctor Zhao processes ginseng. He really wants to see it.

Sanbao shook Zhou Rongrong's arm pitifully and begged her. Zhou Rongrong didn't know how Sanbao was doing in his medical studies, so she thought about taking him to see Doctor Zhao.

She agreed to let Sanbao take him to ask Mr. Zhuang for leave to go to the town tomorrow. Anyway, it seemed that she was not needed here.

The next day.

After Zhou Rongrong asked for leave from Sanbao, she drove a donkey cart directly from Zhangjia Village to the town. Along the way, Zhou Rongrong felt bored and talked to Sanbao about some surgical knowledge.

What Zhou Rongrong talked about were things Sanbao had never seen in books, such as disinfection and sterilization, the location of internal organs, and suturing blood vessels. Sanbao was stunned and his little heart was greatly shocked, but the child has a very good ability to accept things.

Along the way, there were many things that he didn't understand, but he just kept talking to Zhou Rongrong, until Zhou Rongrong was so dry-mouthed that when she arrived at Doctor Zhao's place, she drank several cups of tea in a row.
