Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Apart from people, there are no other living creatures at home. Xia Yingying had previously wanted to get a small local dog from the village to raise, but now it seems a good thing she didn't do that, otherwise it would have been very difficult to get one.

The chickens and ducks raised at home were slowly slaughtered and eaten after the last divorce with Lu Ziren, and nothing was left.

Most of the dry food at home has been consumed. There are not many seasonings left, so they can be taken away. There is still half a can of lard and sesame oil for making cakes. It has basically been used up in the past few days of cooking.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden in the yard are still good, but it is too late to eat them now. After they leave, these vegetables will eventually rot in the fields. Instead of doing that, it is better to make full use of them and do a favor.

Xia Yingying, Lu Haoran, Lu Yuwei, Lu Yurou and Jingjing pulled out almost all the vegetables in the garden, leaving a few plump ones for seeds. They didn't know whether new vegetables would grow when they returned.

Side dishes like mint and leeks can continue to grow, so Xia Yingying only pinched the green leaves and didn't pull up the roots.

"Stepmother, should we send these dishes to Aunt Niu?"

The vegetables were neatly stacked and intact in the basket.

"Yes, Aunt Niu, Aunt Yang, and Sister Du."

Xia Yingying grew a lot of vegetables and picked three full baskets.

Xia Yingying put the basket on her arm and said to the children, "I'm going to deliver the vegetables. Who of you wants to go with me?"

Several children came over and expressed their desire to follow Xia Yingying.

Lu Haoran had already picked up the vegetable basket consciously. Lu Haojie and Lu Yurou also carried a basket each. Jingjing followed behind Lu Haojie.

Xia Yingying brought some vegetables with her, and also brought back some dried vegetables, including eggplant, radish, beans, and peppers.

After giving away the things that needed to be given away, the family was packing their luggage. They each carried a small bag with their important personal belongings, except for Lu Haojie, Jingjing and Lu Yurou.

They didn't bring much luggage, just a change of clothes and shoes, and with so many people gathered together, they took up quite a bit of space.

Ten people sat in the carriage, crammed into it like cans.

Xia Yingying stuffed some other things that might be used into the space the day before when they were not paying attention.

There was still a lot of stuff that needed to be crammed into the carriage to accommodate all of them, and some things definitely couldn't fit.

Xia Yingying took out some silver from the space and put it in her personal bag and carried it with her, in case she needed it and was not discovered.

These days, everyone in the family has been busy like a top. Qin Qingfeng sold all the herbs he picked from the mountain and earned a considerable amount of money. He gave it all to Xia Yingying, saying it was for food expenses, but Xia Ying confiscated it.

Chen Yi didn't go hunting these days.

For Chen Yi, it is safer for him to stay in the countryside. Generally, no one would come to such a remote place on their own initiative, and their hands cannot reach that far.

Chen Yi disagreed, because after Xia Yingying went to the county town to settle down, Lu Ziren would go to the capital, and he could not go back to the capital for the time being as it was a turbulent place.

Staying in the village, he only needed to eat, drink and wait for death, which was quite safe, but he became a complete waste, while in the county town he still had some room for use.

It is not easy for Xia Yingying, a weak woman, to run a business with several children. The world is not particularly friendly to women. Especially when Xia Yingying is doing business, she will encounter many monsters and demons. He can help them a little by going to the county town with them.

The county town is a little more dangerous than the village, but he will definitely act carefully and not drag them down.

Lu Ziren originally wanted Chen Yi to go to the county town with Xia Yingying so that he could take care of them, and that way he would feel more at ease in the capital.

Lu Ziren's eyes darkened.

If Chen Yi didn't go to the county town, there would be no one around Xia Yingying to protect them. When he transferred a few people from the barracks back, he didn't know what would happen. He was not at ease at all.

Qin Qingfeng is only slightly better in medical skills, and can help check when they are sick. But if Xia Yingying and the others are bullied, this old man Qin Qingfeng can't help them at all, and may even get beaten black and blue. It's completely useless.

He would feel at ease only if Xia Yingying had someone who knew martial arts around her.

"Please help me take care of them."

Lu Ziren said gratefully.

"Brother Lu, it's not a trouble at all. You saved my life. I will do whatever you want me to do without hesitation." When Chen Yi heard Lu Ziren say this, he immediately said solemnly.

"From now on you will be my brother. I'll leave my wife and children to you."

Lu Ziren patted Chen Yi's shoulder heavily, and then shook hands with Chen Yi, as if they had reached some agreement.

Soon the day arrived for them to set out for the county town.

It takes at least two days and two nights to get to the county town from here, so they got up very early today. Before setting off, everyone checked whether they had brought all the things they needed. Xia Yingying placed all the travel passes and documents intact in the space.

Lu Ziren took time out to get the pass these days.

The journey was long, so they did not cook noodles today. Instead, they took out the dry food prepared by Xia Yingying and ate it together while driving the carriage on the road.

Because it was still the cold winter period, although the weather was still sunny, the temperature difference between morning and evening was very large, so the whole family wore thick cotton jackets.

Lu Yurou fell asleep peacefully in Song Ruyi's arms.

When they arrived at Qingshui Town, Xiuniang also got on Lu Ziren's carriage carrying her bag and gifts.

They walked for almost a day. Except for going to the toilet and eating, they did not get off the car. They were always on the road. Xia Yingying and Xiuniang kept chattering and talking. They were so thirsty that their mouths were dry. They stopped talking in the afternoon. Finally, they arrived at the next town before dark. They stayed in the town. Because their family had many people, in order to save money, they basically slept together. They booked five rooms in total.

They also had dinner in the inn. The food in the inn was bland and much more expensive than in Qingshui Town. In a word, it was both expensive and unpalatable. Seeing Xia Yingying paying a large sum of money, Song Ruyi felt heartbroken after eating the meal.

After resting for a night, they woke up in the morning, had a bowl of noodles each, and then continued on their journey.

The speed today was faster than yesterday. Lu Ziren knew that their bodies could not bear it. Lu Haoran, Lu Haojie, Chen Yi and he were all martial artists, and the others were basically people who did not exercise much. The journey was long, and they felt uncomfortable staying in the car, and the road was not easy to drive on, so they looked pale.

Xia Yingying was especially pale. She didn't eat much last night or this morning, and now her face was as pale as a sheet of white paper.

If we don't get to the county town soon, who knows what kind of suffering we will have to endure? Lu Ziren drove faster.

Spent two days in the car.

I'll be at the inn at night. "Please give me some money"
