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

This was different from Lu Ziren, who was waiting in the military camp in Beijing for Xia Yingying's letter from Qingshui County and was beginning to doubt his life.

Xia Yingying's life was very peaceful these days, but soon her peaceful life was disrupted by the arrival of several big men.

That day, Xia Yingying had just opened the door of her pastry shop when she saw three strange men leaning against the door of her shop, with their luggage beside them.

The big man standing in the front looked the most ferocious. He was tall and wore a gray-blue gown. The gown did not cover his chest, revealing a chest with clear muscle texture and thick chest hair in the center of his chest.

The two men behind were wearing washed-out clothes and had beards all over their ears.

They looked ferocious, as if no one dared to provoke them. If they hadn't been standing there peacefully, without any weapons in their hands.

Otherwise, Xia Yingying would almost think that they were bandits coming down from the mountains and wanted to rob the silver in the store.

There were three burly men with ferocious looks at the door of the store, and Xia Yingying was frightened.

But he was afraid of offending the three men, so he used a very gentle voice, put on a smiling mask, and greeted the men, "Brothers, are you here to buy cakes? You can come in and try them. If you think the cakes are good, you can buy them. Otherwise, you will waste money by buying cakes you don't like."

The three men looked at each other, and after exchanging glances that Xia Yingying couldn't understand, she felt creepy.

Are they communicating that they are going to start robbing money?

Fortunately, Xia Yingying put most of the money in her personal space.

She was the only one who could enter the space. There were some small changes on the shop counter, not much, just over one or two taels of silver in total.

If they really came to rob her, she would give all her money to these three burly men, as long as they didn't harm her life.

Life is priceless, and keeping it is the most important thing. Only with life can you have the rest, without life, everything else is empty talk. Who will you spend the money you earn on? Will you give it to ghosts?

When Xia Yingying was brainstorming, the burly man in the lead suddenly spoke.

"Sister-in-law, we are retired veterans. Brother Lu asked us to come here, saying that you are looking for workers and are worried about not having enough people. Please arrange for us to do any work we can do."

The burly man in the lead spoke in a rough and straightforward tone. What he said startled Xia Yingying.

Especially that sister-in-law, she almost squeezed the brain out of her head.

The leading man saw Xia Yingying's reaction. He also knew that they looked ferocious and Xia Yingying was scared.

They are self-aware. Even when they take a walk in the village after dinner, many children are often scared and cry by their appearance. They don't do it on purpose. Their appearance is given by their parents and they can't do anything about it. Because of their appearance, they have encountered many setbacks in their work.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we look like this and it really makes things difficult for you." The burly man sounded lost like a big abandoned dog.

When Xia Yingying heard this, her heart suddenly twitched.

"No, no, I'm not scared, I'm just a little surprised. You are so strong, I'm sure you are skilled enough to fight ten people on the battlefield."

Although she was indeed frightened, it was rude to judge people by their appearance, so Xia Yingying tried her best to make up for her language mistake.

The big man in the lead felt a little embarrassed when he heard Xia Yingying say such words, and the two men behind him also looked embarrassed.

The three men blushed, and Xia Yingying was immediately shocked by the contrast.

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind. General Lu is really powerful. He once fought on the battlefield for three days and three nights and chopped off the heads of the generals in the Northern Frontier. But we are not like that. We were ambushed by the enemy and our bodies were damaged. We also caused trouble for General Lu."

Xia Yingying's words successfully diverted the men's attention from dwelling on her recent mistake.

"You guys are really amazing. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to live such a peaceful life."

Seeing that the men seemed a little inferior, Xia Yingying continued to speak eloquently. Of course, she was not just praising them blindly, she really admired these soldiers.

All the fear in Xia Yingying's heart has been eliminated.

He originally thought that these three people were bandits, but since they were recommended by Lu Ziren, he could rest assured, so he looked at the three strong men in front of him curiously.

However, didn't Lu Ziren say that the people he recommended were all veterans who were injured and discharged from the battlefield? How could these three people be in good health? They didn't get along at all. How could they be injured?

The sturdy man in the lead was very tall, like a small mountain, with a full beard and messy hair. Especially the loose cloth shirt, which revealed the dark chest hair, looked very uncomfortable. Xia Yingying pretended to look at him casually, and never saw any signs of disability on him.

The two men behind were older than the leader, but their beards were cleaner than his. They stood with military demeanor, but their legs seemed a little different from those of ordinary people.

Faced with the physical disability of others, Xia Yingying did not ask further questions. She simply glanced at them and quickly looked away. Unexpectedly, the eyes of the big man in the lead and the man behind him were too sharp. They knew what Xia Yingying was thinking and explained directly without hesitation:

"Sister-in-law, this is my eldest brother, Zhao Laoer. The general named him Zhao De. My second brother is an orphan and has no surname, so he is called Zhao San. Another name is Zhao Wen, and my name is Huang Diao.

We became sworn brothers in the Northern Border military camp. Now we have no other relatives at home. My eldest brother has vision problems in his left eye as he was poisoned by the barbarians' poisonous smoke. My second brother is deaf in one ear, and my left leg was chopped by the enemy.

When Xia Yingying heard the tragic experiences of these three brothers, she felt uncomfortable.

The people of Daliang can live such a happy life because of these soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield. Otherwise, where would this wonderful life come from? Xia Yingying admired and respected those who were injured on the battlefield while defending their country.

"Everything will be fine. You are the heroes of Daliang. Stay in my pastry shop and help me. I don't need your help in the front of the shop for now, but you can help me in the kitchen."

When the three burly men heard that they had to go to the kitchen to help, they immediately wilted.

They are quite smooth in killing enemies on the battlefield, but cooking in the kitchen is a difficult task. General Lu clearly said that only strength and endurance are needed, so why are they in the kitchen now?

"Sister-in-law, we don't know how to cook." Zhao De, the leader, said to Xia Yingying with difficulty.

Xia Yingying was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and said to them.

"I didn't ask you to make cakes, I just asked you to help with the eggs. Don't worry, you can definitely accomplish such a task. The main requirement is great strength and endurance."

The three men felt relieved when they heard that kitchen work only required strength and endurance.

They have survived life-and-death experiences on the battlefield, so they definitely have both ruthlessness and endurance. This job is a perfect match for them.

When Lu Ziren sent them a letter asking them to come, they couldn't believe it. They were disabled and their parents had sold all the land in their hometown. Because they had been on the battlefield for too long, their parents thought they were dead.

They have also looked for various jobs. They are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but it seems that every place rejects them. Zhao De and Zhao Wen have no choice but to do hard labor to earn some money to survive. Huang Diao, because of his lame leg, can't find a job anywhere. "Love is always there, vote for me"
