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

"Mom, take a rest. I can finish digging this small piece by myself in a short while."

The main reason was that Xia Yingying was not very familiar with Song Ruyi, and all she had were the memories of the original owner. She did not dare to get close to Song Ruyi, for fear that she would recognize that she was not her daughter.

"Mom is used to doing farm work. Besides, if you dig the land by yourself, it will take until tomorrow to finish. It will be faster if we work together." Song Ruyi said in a soft voice, not daring to look at Xia Yingying.

As he said that, he went to take the hoe from Xia Yingying's hand.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Xia Yingying had no choice but to find another hoe and dig the ground with Song Ruyi.

Only then did Xia Yingying realize that Song Ruyi was a little afraid of her.

While digging the ground, she sorted out the original owner's memories and found out that the original owner did not have a good relationship with her mother.

The original owner felt that Song Ruyi was incompetent enough to marry a gambler, who also implicated her, so she never had a good look at Song Ruyi. However, Song Ruyi had also managed the original owner, but every time the original owner always said a lot of hurtful words to Song Ruyi. Having a gambler father in her family, the original owner was often beaten and scolded. Every time, Song Ruyi helped her bear it, and even saved a sum of money for her dowry behind Xia Daqiang's back.

Even so, the original owner never gave Song Ruyi a good look, and sometimes even instigated Xia Daqiang to beat Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi is a typical ancient rural woman. She is not very knowledgeable and her relationship with her natal family is not very good. It is said that her family sold her to Xia Daqiang in order to pay off debts.

Happy families are similar, and unfortunate families have their own misfortunes.

The original owner was indeed a pitiful person, but what she did was also hateful.

Song Ruyi gave her life, and she herself didn't live a good life either, but she still had to protect the original owner. Not only was the original owner not grateful, she also resented Song Ruyi.

She could not choose to blame all the faults of her birth on Song Ruyi in order to escape her inner torment, enjoy Song Ruyi's kindness to her with peace of mind, and then turn around and bully Song Ruyi. Xia Yingying thought it was normal for such a selfish and vicious person to end up with such a tragic ending as in the book.

After all, a person who cannot distinguish between good and evil will sooner or later perish.

With Song Ruyi's help, it took almost two hours to dig the field, and another half an hour to plant the vegetables and seeds in the ground. Lu Haojie followed behind and watered the planted vegetables. Lu Yuwei also wanted to help, but Xia Yingying asked her to look after the children.

Xia Yingying's body seldom did farm work. Now that she was working, she was panting like a cow. She twisted her neck, her body ached terribly, and she collapsed weakly on the chair.

The cool breeze made Xia Yingying's head a little clearer. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Haojie's little arm holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning her continuously, while beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

She felt even more embarrassed and wiped the sweat off Lu Haojie's forehead with her sleeve: "Ajie, you've worked hard. You should also take a rest. I'm not hot."

When her wrist touched Lu Haojie's forehead through her sleeve, Xia Yingying could clearly feel his body stiffen.

After wiping off the sweat, Xia Yingying pointed to the small stool by the door: "Please sit down. I don't like people standing in front of me."

Lu Haojie sat on the stool obediently. He was not tired at all today. He ate the mixed noodles with soybean sauce that he had missed for a long time and bought some candied haws. He was very happy. All this was because of his stepmother.

"Wow..." A loud baby cry came, Xia Yingying was about to get up, Song Ruyi took the initiative to say: "Mom will go and see, you rest for a while."

Seeing Song Ruyi go to the room, Xia Yingying continued to lie on the chair like Ge You.

When she was shopping today, she looked at the food stalls and restaurants in the town. There was only one proper restaurant, a noodle shop and a steamed bun shop, and the others were small vendors who came to the market to sell. The number of people eating in the restaurant was very small, and the most diners were the small vendors who came to the market. Of course, the only pastry shop was also very popular.

This is understandable. The customers nearby are basically farmers. They earn their money through hard work and are reluctant to eat out in restaurants. They only go to the city during market hours, and business is not good on weekdays.

Xia Yingying's idea of ​​opening a restaurant in the town was shelved.

The bun shop business is quite hot. I heard that the shop has been there for a long time and three generations of a family have been running it. She has no confidence that she can compete with that bun shop that has accumulated popularity for a long time. Besides, she also knows her own limitations and her bun-making skills are average.

She could sell wives, but the small restaurants in the town only serve nearby farmers, who basically don't go to restaurants. It might be feasible in more prosperous cities, but she has four children now and she can't travel far, so selling wives is not an option for the time being.

Selling cakes is pretty good.

She had investigated and found a pastry shop in the town that sold very traditional pastries. The pastries had a simple taste, only sweet and a hint of egg, not as rich as modern ones. In addition to cooking, she also liked baking and took the advanced pastry chef certificate. She was confident that she could conquer the stomachs of the entire town. After all, modern pastry recipes have been tested by time.

"Yingying, the milk is almost gone. Remember to buy some milk later." Song Ruyi hugged Lu Yurou and coaxed her gently.

"Okay." Xia Yingying responded after hearing it.

Before Lu Ziren left, he had asked the original owner to go to Grandpa Niu's house at the end of the village to buy goat milk. These days, Ah Rou has been drinking goat milk sent by Liu Daren's family. The original owner didn't care about Ah Rou's life or death before. How did those three little kids get milk to feed her? Even if Grandpa Niu is kind, he can't ask for money every time.

Xia Yingying immediately got up from the chair, went back to her room to get some copper coins, took a small bucket of goat milk and was ready to go out.

"Stepmother, I want to go too." Lu Haojie saw Xia Yingying going to buy milk. He was sure that his stepmother had really changed, so he followed Xia Yingying like a little tail.

As soon as we got under the crooked tree, Aunt Niu called out in panic, "Yingying, it's bad, it's bad, something happened to your eldest son."

"What happened to him?" Xia Yingying quickly put the wooden barrel on the ground.

"Your eldest son was fishing in the river and had a fight with Wang Ergou. He is now unconscious. Wang Ergou tried to escape when he saw what was happening, but my Erlang saw him and stopped him. We are waiting for you to see how to solve the problem. Mao Wa has already gone to call Niu Dachui."

Aunt Niu explained the matter clearly and concisely.

Mao Wa is the son of Niu Erlang, and Niu Dachui is the village doctor.

"Thank you, Aunt Niu. Please take me to have a look." Xia Yingying pulled Aunt Niu towards the place where the accident happened.

"Stepmother, I want to go too." Lu Haojie looked anxious and wanted to go too.

"You go back and wait for news. I'll go check it out first. Don't worry, I will bring your brother back safely."
