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

Although Song Ruyi is a rural woman, she has been selling cakes with Xia Yingying for a while, and has seen a lot of people and things, and has learned a lot of truths. Although she cares about Xia Dawei in her heart, she does not blindly favor him, and Song Ruyi does not object to Xia Yingying's approach.

But thinking that Xia Xinsen, a person he hated so much, might come to trouble Xia Dawei, Song Ruyi still asked Xia Yingying worriedly, "Yingying, will your elder brother and your sister-in-law be okay?"

The shadow that Xia Xinsen left on her was too deep. Even though she had divorced and had nothing to do with Xia Xinsen, she was still terrified whenever anything related to Xia Xinsen was mentioned.

Xia Yingying had no idea what would happen to Xia Dawei and Bai Qingmiao in the future.

Xia Yingying could get a glimpse of Xia Dawei's interpersonal relationships from the events in the original owner's memory. He was not bad but also complicated. She could not get a full idea of ​​the real Xia Dawei, like she was looking at the sky through a tube.

She met Bai Qingmiao today. Xia Yingying didn't like his personality and didn't want to have much contact with him.

She didn't know what the relationship between Bai Qingmiao and Xia Dawei was like, so she couldn't give Song Ruyi an answer, but seeing that Song Ruyi was worried, Xia Yingying didn't want to lie to her.

"Mom, I don't know either."

Song Ruyi pursed her lips and without saying another word, she and Xia Yingying returned home in silence.

After Xia Yingying left, Lu Haojie and Jingjing watered the vegetables that Song Ruyi had just planted a few days ago in the yard.

Lu Yurou was enjoying herself on the small wooden horse that Lu Ziren had built for her, and did not pester her brothers and sisters to play with her.

Lu Haojie and Jingjing finished their job of watering the vegetable garden. Ge You was lying in a recliner with a cup of tea and a snack in his hand, enjoying the food leisurely.

When she arrived at the door of her home, Xia Yingying took out the key and opened the big iron lock on the door. She pushed it but found that it would not open at all. Then she remembered that she had asked Lu Haojie to lock the door from the inside.

The noise Xia Yingying made when she opened the door was not loud, but the clanking sound of the chain came through the door into the room, giving people a sense of psychological oppression.

Lu Haojie and Jingjing looked at each other. Jingjing was a little flustered. She immediately ran to Lu Haojie like a small cannonball, holding Lu Haojie's arm tightly with one hand, and said nervously in a low voice, "Brother Haojie, are the bad guys here?"

Lu Haojie was also a little panicked at the moment, but calmer than Jingjing. He stretched out his finger to make a silencing gesture, "Don't worry, I will protect you. Let's not make any noise now and say nothing."

Lu Haojie was not sure if the person who opened the door was Xia Yingying, and was worried that it was a bad person. Although he had learned martial arts, he was still nervous. Lu Ziren once said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. He did not intend to be the first to speak out, so he kept silent and asked Jingjing to go back to the house. He took a stick and walked towards the door to find out who opened the door so that he could make plans in advance.

The sound of chains colliding outside soon stopped, and Lu Haojie's footsteps also stopped.

His heart was beating fast and beads of sweat were on his forehead.

The air became quiet, and every minute and every second was torture. Just when Lu Haojie was extremely nervous, Xia Yingying's voice came from outside the door.

Xia Yingying knocked on the door and called out, "Haojie, come and open the door, we are back."

When Lu Haojie and Jingjing heard Xia Yingying's voice, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Haojie gently comforted Jingjing, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, it's mom who's back. You sit down, I'll go open the door."

Lu Haojie threw the stick aside, walked to the gate with his short legs, moved the bench aside, then stood on the bench, moved the bolt away, and then opened the gate.

The door slowly opened, and Lu Haojie couldn't wait to run forward, ran into Xia Yingying's arms, pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly.

"Mom, I was so scared just now. I thought some bad guys were going to come in and rob us."

Xia Yingying squatted down and touched Lu Haojie's head. "Haojie, you have worked hard to protect the two girls at home. To reward you, little hero, I will satisfy you with whatever you want to eat tonight."

Xia Yingying praised and rewarded Lu Haojie generously. Lu Haojie was still young, so it was inevitable that he would be afraid at home, but he had done a good job.

When Lu Haojie heard that Xia Yingying was going to give him a reward, he was stunned, his round eyes were full of joy.

Seeing Lu Haojie's cute look, Xia Yingying touched Lu Haojie's head and said with a smile: "Think about it carefully and tell me before dinner."

Xia Yingying carried Lu Yurou to open the door of the pastry shop and found that there were already several people standing in front of the shop wanting to buy pastries.

"Your shop is finally open. I thought I would have to wait a while, but I didn't expect to be so lucky."

"Well, I just had something to do and just came back. I'm really sorry. I'll give you a 10% discount later."

Xia Yingying held Lu Yurou and warmly greeted the customers who came to the pastry shop, while Song Ruyi helped on the side.

These people are familiar faces. They come here almost every day since the shop opened. Most people like to buy more cakes at a time, but they are different.

They don’t like to buy a lot each time. They always come once a day, buy a little each time and eat different things every day.

So far, they have not bought all the pastries in the store, but they have tasted all the pastries in the store over and over again.

People who bought cakes left one after another with their favorite cakes, leaving only an old lady who was still carefully selecting cakes. After everyone left, the old lady walked to the front desk with the cakes she had selected, handed them to Xia Yingying, and chatted with her casually.

"Your business is really good, with many customers every day. The Yang's Pastry Shop in our county used to be delicious, but it closed down. I can't buy the pastries I like here. You can make so many pastries, I guess you can make peach pastries, peanut pastries, gold coin pastries, etc.?"

"When did this happen?"

Xia Yingying knew nothing about the closure of Yangji Pastry Shop in the county.

"Just a few days ago, their business went bankrupt and many cakes were no longer available. Now yours is the only cake shop there, so I thought of asking you if you could make those cakes, mainly because I'm craving for them." The old lady felt a little embarrassed when she said the last few words.

Seeing that the old lady was speaking sincerely, Xia Yingying also spoke sincerely and eagerly:

"I have no plans to sell other cakes for the time being. I think there are already enough cakes in the store and I am too busy to handle them all. But, Auntie, do you know what cakes Yang's Cakes has?"

Xia Yingying really didn't plan to expand her product range any further. But now she was the only bakery in the county, so this was undoubtedly a good opportunity for her.

She makes Western-style pastries, which focus on freshness and fluffiness, but Chinese pastries also have great charm.

She can make both Western and Chinese pastries.

When the old lady saw Xia Yingying asking, she lowered her eyes to hide her deep and dark look, and told Xia Yingying kindly about the pastries made by Yang's Pastry Shop.

After listening to this, Xia Yingying roughly understood that the cakes sold in Yang's Pastry Shop are traditional Chinese dim sum that are made by steaming, frying and pan-frying.

"If you want these pastry recipes, I can give them to you as long as you can make them."

The old lady lowered her voice deliberately, but her words exploded like a thunder in Xia Yingying's heart.

Is this lady here to sell pastry recipes?

This is very possible. The old lady just mentioned that Yang’s Pastry went bankrupt, and now she suddenly mentioned the recipe.

As everyone knows, Yang's Pastry Shop has a conflict with a pastry shop. When the old lady suddenly did this, Xia Yingying subconsciously thought that she was here to sell her family.

Xia Yingying suddenly became alert and felt uneasy. Where did this lady's prescription come from?

Xia Yingying quickly waved her hand to politely refuse the old lady, "No, I have my own prescription, so I won't bother you. Thank you for your kindness."

She doesn't need cake recipes for the time being. The recipes she has mastered in modern times have been improved after thousands of years. Xia Yingying believes that they will be better than this lady's recipes. "Please vote"
