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

Lu Haojie looked at Xia Yingying with confusion. Oh no, was he distracted when he was stringing the money and made a mistake? Was his stepmother going to beat him?

Lu Haojie stood in front of Xia Yingying in fear.

"Stretch out your hand." Lu Haojie closed his eyes and bit his lips tightly. His little face turned pale and his body trembled even more violently. He looked very pitiful and stretched out his little hand tremblingly.

When Xia Yingying saw Lu Haojie trembling with fear, she became even more confused. Am I a man-eating tiger?

Without thinking too much, Xia Yingying took out a copper coin from her purse and placed it in Lu Haojie's palm.

The pain he had imagined did not occur. Instead, a cold, hard object lay in the palm of his hand. Lu Haojie half-closed his eyes and saw the thing in his palm and was shocked.

Xia Yingying said with a smile: "This is your reward for helping me to collect money."

Lu Haojie shook his head and didn't dare to accept it: "Stepmother, no need, you take it."

"Keep this money. You can use it to buy what you want to eat next time you go to the market." Xia Yingying put the copper coin directly in Lu Haojie's palm. "It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

Lu Haojie accepted it and looked at the penny in his hand, wondering what he could buy. He couldn't buy noodles with mixed sauce, but he could buy sweet and sour candied haws. When could he go to the market?

As soon as he reached the door, Lu Haojie stopped and turned to look at Xia Yingying with a dark gaze: "Stepmother, can I go to the market with you?"

The next morning, after getting up and washing up, Xia Yingying boiled the ten eggs that Aunt Niu brought, two for each person. She estimated that she would not be able to come back for lunch, so she put yesterday's leftovers and the remaining two eggs in the pot to keep them warm.

Before leaving, Xia Yingying told Lu Yuwei to take out the mushrooms and dry them in the sun: "No need to wash them, just remove the black roots."

Xia Yingying was worried so she demonstrated it again. Seeing Lu Yuwei doing it very well, Xia Yingying then carried the backpack and took Lu Haojie to the crooked tree at the entrance of the village to wait for the ox cart.

After a while, the village chief drove a ox cart to the entrance of the village. The cart was full of people. Li Cuihua was also in it. When she saw Xia Yingying, she rolled her eyes.

Xia Yingying didn't want to argue with her. There were so many people in the car, and it would be inappropriate to argue in someone else's car.

She is a civilized person and would not argue with a shrew.

But Li Cuihua didn't think so. As soon as Xia Yingying and Lu Haojie sat down, Li Cuihua said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this the guy who found the wild boar for free? He eats all the food for himself and even takes money from the villagers. He is really a traitor. I think it's unlucky for such a person to sit in the same car with me."

This was intolerable. Li Cuihua had scolded her by name, and so many people in the car were watching her to enjoy the show. If she didn't fight back, she would be considered a coward and a coward. How would she be able to survive in the village in the future?

"You think I'm unlucky, but I think you're unlucky too. You're so capable, why don't you go to the mountain to pick up a wild boar and share the meat with us?" Xia Yingying mercilessly exposed Li Cuihua's greedy and petty-minded nature.

"I'm not like you. If I found a wild boar, I would definitely share it with everyone."

Li Cuihua couldn't pick up the wild boar, but everyone can boast. Li Cuihua knew that Xia Yingying was a face-loving person, and as long as she was coaxed up, she would definitely admit defeat to her. But she made a wrong calculation. Even though she suffered losses at the hands of Xia Yinyin twice before, she didn't learn her lesson. She forgot that Xia Yingying was no longer as good as before and allowed her to coax her.

"Then I will testify, Li Cuihua. When you pick up anything from the mountain, bring it to the village and share it with everyone. I heard that you picked up a basket of mushrooms in the mountain. Now bring it to share with everyone." Du Shuili helped out.

"Don't you see that the wild boar bumped into it by itself? She didn't hunt it by her own ability. How much is a wild boar worth? How much are mushrooms worth? Can they be the same?"

Li Cuihua's mouth twitched. This Du Shuili was old-fashioned and liked to meddle in other people's affairs. She had picked these up on the mountain before dawn, and she would not allow anyone to take them away.

"How are they different? What I picked up was a wild boar, and what you picked up was mushrooms. We both picked them up from the mountains. How can we distinguish between the high and low? I heard that your mother dug up a ginseng in the mountains a few days ago. That ginseng happened to be found by your mother. It's valuable enough, right? Why don't you use the money to share it with the villagers?"

Xia Yingying rolled her eyes at Li Cuihua and said unhappily, "Everyone can be sarcastic. She didn't believe that she, a good young man in the 21st century, could not be better than a shrew!"

"By the way, Li Cuihua, you still owe me money, a total of fifteen taels of silver, and I still have the IOU here. Are you trying to cheat me by deliberately finding fault with me again and again to avoid paying me back?"

Speaking of money, Li Cuihua's face changed drastically. That was the dowry money she had saved with great difficulty. How could Xia Yingying say with clear words that it was money she had borrowed?

"You, you are slandering me! Village chief, you don't care about Xia Yingying. She is confusing right and wrong in your car." Seeing that she couldn't argue with Xia Yingying, Li Cuihua threw the problem to the village chief.

The village chief whipped the buffalo, and the old buffalo sped up. Li Cuihua was not sitting properly and was hit, and her face turned pale.

The village chief said coldly, "What are you talking about? You have always been making trouble unreasonably and confusing right and wrong. If you owe someone money, pay them back as soon as possible. You should have principles in life. If you make trouble in my car again, get out of here. I won't do business with you."

"You..." Li Cuihua was angry, but did not dare to contradict the village chief.

Xia Yingying did not mention the matter of paying back the money. It was wrong to quarrel in someone else's car. She apologized to the village chief and then chatted with Du Shuili.

The ox cart moved slowly and the road was crooked. After about half an hour, they finally arrived at the town. After getting off the cart, Xia Yingying felt like her butt was about to turn into wood.

After agreeing on a time to go back, everyone in the car went to the places they wanted to buy.

As it was market day, there were a lot of people at the market. Many farmers were selling their agricultural products. There were very few people in the shops on the street, and the flow of people was basically concentrated where the stalls were set up.

"Let's go sell ginseng first." He said, and took Lu Haojie to the east to Huichuntang. This is the only medicine shop in the town, with doctors in the clinic, and they also accept herbs collected by villagers, and the price is fair.

"Young lady, do you want to see a doctor or get medicine?"

"See the doctor first."

The medicine boy pointed to where the doctor was and said, "The doctor is over there."

"Thank you."

Xia Yingying took Lu Haojie to see the doctor.

The doctor was a thin old man in his fifties who looked very energetic. When he saw Xia Yingying coming over, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Doctor, my daughter's face was burned, but she didn't come today. I want to see if it can be cured." Xia Yingying explained her purpose to the doctor.
