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

Lu Haojie nodded, put the things down, sat aside and watched over the things he bought today, looking in the direction where the candied haws disappeared with lingering interest.

Xia Yingying bought candles and took three strings of candied haws. Lu Haojie's eyes were wide open.

Seeing Xia Yingying hand him the candied haws, he happily thanked her: "Thank you, stepmother."

But he didn't eat it immediately. Instead, he held it back and went to eat with his brothers and sisters.

Xia Yingying didn't care. It was his freedom to eat whenever he wanted. But she still couldn't help but sigh: This child is so well-behaved.

The village chief was also waiting at the agreed point in his oxcart. The rice and other things had been loaded onto the oxcart by the village chief, and Lu Haojie also found a seat on the oxcart and waited.

Xia Yingying got on the car, waited for a few people, and then the car left.

The ox cart was shaking slowly and swaying, and Xia Yingying felt drowsy.

Faintly she heard someone calling her name. She squinted her eyes and glanced at the car, but didn't see who was calling her.

"Yingying." It was a woman's voice, a little breathless.

Xia Yingying looked towards the roadside and finally saw a ragged middle-aged woman chasing a bullock cart. She was running out of breath and shouting Xia Yingying's name as she ran.

"Village chief, stop the car." Xia Yingying couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but the man obviously knew the original owner, so she asked the village chief to stop the car.

The village chief pulled the reins, the cow stopped, and everyone in the car looked at Xia Yingying.

A middle-aged woman ran over. Her skin was a little dark, a typical farmer's complexion. Her facial features were somewhat similar to the original owner's. She had a standard oval face with a kind smile on her face. When she walked forward, Xia Yingying's brain froze for a moment. After careful identification, she realized that this woman was the original owner's mother - Song Ruyi.

Xia Yingying clenched her fingers tightly, forced a stiff smile on her face and said, "Mom, where are you going now?"

Song Ruyi lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yingying, can I stay at your house for a few days?"

When the original owner got married, she told her parents that they should not go to her for help unless there was something important, and they should not go to her even if there was something important, because she wanted to live a free and easy life on her own.

Now that Song Ruyi suddenly came to see her, something must have happened. She didn't want to have too much involvement with the original owner's relatives, but she couldn't do anything to drive Song Ruyi away.

Xia Yingying nodded somewhat guiltily: "Sure, come up and sit down, Mom."

As the saying goes, no one knows a girl better than her mother. The original body had lived with Song Ruyi for fifteen years and must know her very well. She was afraid that some flaws would be revealed as she spent so much time with Song Ruyi.

Xia Yingying helped Song Ruyi get into the car, and Lu Haojie, who was sitting on the side, moved closer to Xia Yingying.

As soon as Song Ruyi sat down, Lu Haojie timidly called her "Grandma."

Song Ruyi nodded kindly to Lu Haojie: "Good boy."

Du Shuili and everyone else greeted Song Ruyi enthusiastically, except Li Cuihua.

Li Cuihua moved her butt as if she had hemorrhoids, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Ugly people are really the cause of trouble. Can't you see that the car is full of seats? Why are you still squeezing in?"

Xia Yingying glared at Li Cuihua fiercely and said viciously: "Li Cuihua, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Is this car yours? Can you make the decision? If you can't make the decision, then shut up."

Li Cuihua became even more naughty after being yelled at by Xia Yingying. She slapped her thigh and said, "Village Chief, you don't care about Xia Yingying. They have taken up all the seats. It's hard for me to sit down."

"Why should I care? Xia Yingying is not refusing to pay. Besides, your place is very big. Your butt is not a washbasin. Are you not satisfied with taking up such a big space?" The village chief rolled his eyes at Li Cuihua with a somewhat aggressive tone.

"Village Chief, I also paid for the ride, how can you say that?"

"If you don't want to take the bus, get off and I'll return your money. Everyone else is fine, but you're the only one who's causing so much trouble. You make noise when you come here and you make noise when you leave. Do you really want me to kick you out?" The village chief hated Li Cuihua, but because she was a woman, a good man shouldn't fight with a woman. But now she's still complaining while riding in a bus, how could he stand it.

Hearing the village chief say this, Li Cuihua fell silent instantly.

There was only one cow in the village, and it was a long distance from the village to the town. The village chief was also an official, and there was no benefit for her to fall out with the village chief, so she didn't even dare to move, for fear that the village chief would really kick her out of the car.

The ox cart was indeed a bit crowded. Song Ruyi was embarrassed to squeeze others, so she simply hugged Lu Haojie and sat in Lu Haojie's seat.

Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi didn't say anything in the car, mainly because Xia Yingying didn't know what to say to Song Ruyi, and the original owner didn't have a very close relationship with her mother. She wanted to ask Song Ruyi why she came to see her, but seeing that Song Ruyi was in a very embarrassed state, she knew it was inconvenient to ask at that time, so she simply didn't ask and would tell her after returning.

It was quiet in the car too, with only the sound of wheels rolling and the shouts of the cowherd.

When they returned to the village, everyone in the car got off. Since Xia Yingying had a lot of stuff, the village chief drove the car to take them to the gate of the courtyard and carried the rice and noodles to the kitchen.

Song Ruyi and Xia Yingying carried the chickens, while Lu Haojie carried the other things they bought into the house.

Xia Yingying took out eight copper coins and gave them to the village chief, but he waved his hand and refused. Xia Yingying had given their family a lot of meat before, and that meat was worth a lot of money.

"Village chief, you deserve the meat. If it weren't for your wild boar, I wouldn't have been able to carry it back. One thing is one thing. We will have to take the bus often in the future. I will feel embarrassed to take the bus if you do this. Besides, if others know about it, I wonder if you can continue your ox cart business." Xia Yingying knew that the village chief had good intentions, but she couldn't take advantage of him for nothing and give him something to talk about.

After hearing what Xia Yingying said, the village chief finally accepted it, but he only took 6 copper coins, and the other two refused to accept it no matter what.

After the village chief left, Xia Yingying put the chickens in the chicken coop and put the seasoning in the kitchen.

Lu Yuwei opened the door and saw Xia Yingying put the fluffy chicks into the chicken coop, and she immediately ran over to surround them. She had raised chickens before, but all of them ended up in her stepmother's belly, and she was sad for a long time because of this.

"Where's your elder brother?"

"He, he went fishing."

Xia Yingying frowned and searched the original owner's memory. Then she remembered that Lu Haoran's full-time job at home was to catch fish. The original owner had severely punished Lu Haoran because he couldn't catch any fish.

Don't let him go fishing again in the future. This is all evidence of the original owner's abuse of Lu Haoran. If you let him go again, who knows how he will hate her.

"Stepmother, Aunt Du just sent over the vegetable seedlings." Lu Yuwei pointed to the vegetable seedlings placed by the well.

"Got it." He opened the dishes Du Shuili sent, there were cabbage, green vegetables, green onions, eggplant, leek, as well as fennel, mint and coriander seeds.

There are quite a lot of varieties, so we have to plant the vegetables quickly. It is still early now, so Xia Yingying found a hoe and prepared to cultivate the vegetable patch in the yard.

"Yingying, do you have any extra hoes?" Song Ruyi expressed his willingness to help dig.
