After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

Haha, maybe.

The tiger lay quietly on the ground, not daring to speak again.

However, Lin Youan's face turned pale instantly after hearing this. Just thinking about the dangerous situation at that time, the little brother felt a shiver in his heart.

"You said you ran into someone in the forest that day? What kind of person was he? Did he say anything to you?"

Recalling the scene when he first met his mother, he couldn't help but wonder if someone was looking for him from behind. What if they came to kill his mother?

"Yeah, a man covered in wounds. I was in a hurry to go hunting with Huahua, so I didn't have time to talk to him."

After thinking about it, I felt that what I said was not specific enough, so I added a few more sentences.

"That big black bear was the man's prey, but he refused to take it after I asked him three times, so I dragged it back. We can't waste food."

Chu Chi nodded as a matter of course, but he didn't provide any useful information. Lin Youan, who had regained his composure, looked at her, then at the tiger lying on the ground and the two preys, and let out a long breath.

"Mom, what did you promise me last time? Didn't we agree that we would never go to the back mountain again? What are you doing today?"

The little face sank, and the father's spirit took over.

Seeing his son's expression change, Chu Chi quickly took a step back, stood up straight and started to speak out a series of skilled apologies.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. An An, please believe me. I promise that I will never go hunting in the back mountains again."

Anyway, flowers will be delivered to her door regularly in the future, so there is really no need for her to make a trip in person.

"I want to eat meat. I can't get full if I always eat grass. I'm hungry."

This short sentence instantly blocked all the scolding in Lin Youan's throat. Looking at his mother's pitiful face, he moved his lips speechlessly, not knowing what position he could have to speak.

He was the head of the second-tier household, but he was unable to feed the women and children in his family.

This forced a weak woman to go hunting in the deep mountains and forests to eat meat. As a son, he was really useless.

How can I have the face to blame my mother now?

Lin Youan clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails into his palms. The dull stinging sensation barely suppressed the disgust for himself that surged from the bottom of his heart.

Today's series of setbacks have forced this man, who has not yet fully grown into a man, to face all the cruel difficulties in life.

He seemed to have thought that everything was too simple and smooth in the past, but he didn't know that in life, if anyone wanted to live better than others, it would be extremely difficult.

"Mom, don't apologize to me."

He swallowed hard and felt as if there were some tiny grains of sand grinding in his throat, grinding away the anger in his heart bit by bit.

"It's my fault that I didn't take good care of you and Qianqian."

His voice was so low and guilty that Chu Chi tilted his head in confusion.

The last time An An caught me going up the mountain, I was so angry that I jumped, cried and talked. Why is something wrong this time?

Why isn't he crying anymore?

"An'an, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. I just suddenly realized that I'm really useless. Mom, I'm sorry."

I don’t know why he suddenly apologized to me, but Chu Chi felt that An An with such a sad face made her more uncomfortable than the An An who was so angry that she jumped up and down before.

Following my true inner thoughts, my fingers gently touched the soft hair. The power of a warm hand caressing the top of my head can always easily move a broken child and make him strong again.

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't give up on myself. All the disappointments I'm experiencing now should serve as training stones on my life journey. They will only make me tougher!

I have resumed my studies now, so I will start by following my second brother. When I have some money, I will find a way to go to school and study hard for the imperial examination.

Mom, wait for me.

One day, I will definitely be successful!

When the time comes, I will ask for an imperial decree for you."

A young boy with great ambitions!

Because he had seen himself in a dream wearing gorgeous clothes, young Lin Youan was full of firm thoughts about the future.

He felt that someone as smart as him would definitely be successful in the future.

This confidence in knowing his bright future in advance is the driving force that enables him to have unlimited courage to move forward in the face of current difficulties.

Although Chu Chi's simple brain cells could not empathize with his ambitions at all, it didn't matter, she listened to his advice. After all, An An was so smart, what he said must be right!

So he nodded very supportively and expressed his high approval of the big picture that his son had drawn for him.

"Yeah! An An is the best."

The beautiful child showed his cute little fangs again. Only in front of this simple-minded mother could he throw away the adult mask he had put on and be an eight-year-old child at ease.

"Mom, you are amazing too. You can actually defeat a tiger!"

Chu Chi nodded in agreement with this kind of commercial flattery. He patted his chest proudly and replied smugly.

"Yes, I'm awesome too! We're both really awesome, hehehe..."

"Hahaha, mom, you can't say that outside. You have to be humble, okay?"

The smile that comes from the heart makes Lin Youan's already beautiful eyes and eyebrows look even more energetic and likable.

"Why? Obviously I am really awesome. All the meatballs in the forest admire me. Huahua thinks so too, right?"

Why do you have to ask me?

Right or wrong, don't you have any idea in your mind? Besides, I clearly didn't stretch out my claws!

The poor tiger, who was standing quietly in the background, blinked his eyes and scratched his paws twice against his conscience to show his agreement.

This series of humane behavior finally put Lin Youan's mind at ease. It seemed that the tiger was really afraid of his mother, so they should be safe.

Only then will you have the leisure to look at the prey nearby and chat about nothing.

"Mom, did you hunt down these deer and wild boar?"

"No."

Chu Chi shook his head, bared his white teeth with joy, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the back mountain, and began to talk nonsense to his son about his circle of friends.

"The fawn was given to me by the big snake in the mountains, and the wild boar was given to me by the pack of wolves."

Her son was completely confused by this.

"I, I don't think I understood. Who did you say gave it to you?"

"The big green snake in the mountains, and the gray wolf."

Chu Chi spoke very clearly, and then Lin Youan, who was stimulated again, made a familiar roar.

"So, you encountered other ferocious beasts?!"
