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

Xia Yingying passed by Lu Haojie's room while carrying noodles. Seeing Zhao Wen, Zhao De, and Huang Diao still busying themselves with their things, she said to them, "Zhao Wen, eat breakfast first and then make some noodles. The noodles will taste better when they are cooked. Otherwise, they will get clumped up in the noodles later."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The three men were shocked by Xia Yingying's enthusiasm. They were not good at speaking, so they had to thank Xia Yingying in a panic to avoid making mistakes.

"You're welcome. We're a family from now on. I don't know what kind of noodles you like, so I didn't put chili in the noodle soup I made today. But I made chili oil. If you like spicy food, you can put more chili in it."

At first, Xia Yingying wanted to make noodles with soybean paste, but she thought that some people might not eat chili due to geographical reasons, so she changed to noodles with soybean paste.

There is only a small amount of sauce in the noodles, and no chili peppers. The taste is also very good, but it is less spicy than the noodles with soybean paste, which is very friendly to people who don’t like strong tastes.

Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao originally thought that they would not have breakfast today. In their impression, people who usually eat breakfast are wealthy people.

They had never thought that Xia Yingying would invite them to breakfast. This was a surprise to them, but they were also very happy. Xia Yingying made them feel respected again.

They didn't bring much with them. Each person only brought bedding, clothes, and money.

Because it is not easy for them to find jobs and they don’t have much money.

Their men were full of motivation and quickly packed up their own things.

Zhao Wen gave the only two beds in the room to his brothers. After they packed their things, they kept lingering in the room.

Because I was a little embarrassed to face Xia Yingying.

Except for a little boy named Lu Haojie, Xia Yingying's family consists of all girls. They were a little worried that three grown men would live in someone else's home so openly and they didn't know what outsiders would gossip about them.

This is exactly the reason why it is said that a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.

They themselves didn't care about other people's rumors, but they were most afraid that Xia Yingying would be pointed at and accused of being unfaithful because she took care of the three brothers. Wouldn't that mean Xia Yingying was more wronged than Dou E?

"Brother, why don't we rent a house? The general is not at home now, and the family is full of women. If the three of us live here, we will definitely be gossiped about."

"Yes, I know."

As soon as Zhao De said this, Zhao Wen and Huang Diao responded one after another.

"When are we moving out?"

"Today, I will tell my sister-in-law that I still have ten cents on me. How much can the three of us put together?"

Zhao Wen continued.

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, Zhao Dehuangdiao fell silent.

They had already spent a lot of money to come from their hometown, and they didn't have much savings left, and after all this ordeal, they didn't have much left.

Zhao Wen was the only one among them who could make money, and he only had ten cents on him. This was a county town, and staying in the cheapest inn for one night would probably cost dozens of cents. What could ten cents do? At most, he could buy a bowl of noodles. But they had three mouths to feed, and ten cents was not enough for them.

"Brother, what should we do now? Should we move out?" Huang Diao looked at Zhao De in confusion and asked.

Although Zhao Wen was younger than him among the three of them, he had the highest military rank among them and his words carried the most weight. So when they encountered any problems, they would take the initiative to ask Zhao Wen and seek solutions from him.

"It's not realistic for us to rent a house with the money we have now. If we really have to go out, we can only sleep on the roadside like we did when we came here.

The county town is different now than before. If my sister-in-law and the general knew that we did not accept their kindness and went to sleep on the street, it would definitely embarrass them. We will then work in a pastry shop.

Everyone knows that we are employees of my sister-in-law's store. If something like this happens, those people will probably scold my sister-in-law and the general.

We can't do this, we can't put the general and sister-in-law in an unjust position."

Zhao Wen analyzed the reasons for not living outside word by word, and Zhao De and Huang Diao nodded in agreement. Zhao Wen still saw the problem more clearly and comprehensively.

"Then let's live here, brother." Zhao De said to Zhao Wen with difficulty.

"Yes." Zhao Wen also nodded, but also emphasized solemnly, "We are just staying here temporarily. We can advance money to sister-in-law and settle it every day. This way we can save up enough money to move out as soon as possible, and at the same time avoid rumors that hurt sister-in-law."

"Big brother is right." Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao all agreed.

After the three of them had discussed the result, they left the room one after another. Song Ruyi and Lu Haojie were waiting for Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao in the kitchen.

When Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao came in and saw the people at the table waiting for them, their faces changed slightly and they were a little flattered for a moment.

"Auntie, you can eat first and don't have to wait for us." Zhao Wen suddenly felt very embarrassed. It was his first time to come to someone else's house, and it was very impolite to ask the host to wait for them to eat. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury himself.

"It's nothing. We don't need to talk about those empty formalities. Since you are here, just eat quickly. If the noodles are not enough, there is still a lot in the pot. You can add more after you finish eating."

Song Ruyi didn't care at all. She pointed to the three large bowls of braised noodles that Xia Yingying had placed on the table and said.

"Hey."

When Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao saw the bowls, they also discovered that the three of them had bigger bowls than everyone else, and felt a little embarrassed.

"There was so much noodles in our bowls that we couldn't finish them."

As soon as Zhao Wen finished saying this, Zhao Dehuangdiao immediately stared at Zhao Wen.

The noodles smelled so fragrant that it almost penetrated into their bones. They had been chewing on dry biscuits or cold, hard steamed buns along the way, and their mouths were numb.

Although they had steamed buns and biscuits to fill their stomachs, they still never felt full. Each person only ate half a piece of biscuit and steamed bun per meal, and they still had to soak them in cold water to make them more tender.

They did this because they were so poor that each of them could only eat seven or eight steamed buns during their normal meals. If they often had meals together, it would be no problem for them to eat twenty or thirty buns.

So a big bowl of braised noodles can just fill their stomachs and make them feel less hungry. Why did the eldest brother tell Song Ruyi that they couldn't finish the noodles?

There was some great resentment in Zhao De and Huang Diao's eyes, but at the same time they also believed that there must be a reason for Zhao Wen's decision, so they did not argue with Zhao Wen and quickly retracted their resentful eyes.

According to Song Ruyi's previous thinking before he became enlightened, he would never think that far.

But now they want to eat together, she knows that the three men are not unable to eat, but are embarrassed.

"It's okay. If you can't finish it, just leave some. I'll feed the chickens with the leftover noodles. The noodles won't taste good the second time they're eaten. The leftovers will be used to feed the chickens, so don't worry."

Song Ruyi finished the sentence calmly, but saw the three brothers Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao with their eyes wide open.

Oh my God, my sister-in-law is so wasteful of food. She actually feeds the leftover noodles to the chickens. When they are hungry, they will even eat porridge.

Knowing that it would be a waste if the noodles were not finished, Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao no longer had any worries.

Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao immediately picked up the bowl and ate up all the noodles.

Unexpectedly, this noodle smelled so good and tasted even better, it almost made their hearts, lungs and government whole.

Lu Haojie also ate very quickly. Compared with the three brothers Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Liao, they ate a little slower.

Song Ruyi had only finished half of the noodles, while Zhao Wen, Zhao De and Huang Diao were slurping them up so fast that in a short while only a mouthful of noodles was left, with even a little soup left. They ate them so fast that they seemed like starving ghosts reincarnated. It was truly eye-opening.

The noodles for Lu Haojie were picked by Xia Yingying. Xia Yingying gave him two portions according to his usual noodle eating habits, so Lu Haojie put down his bowl and chopsticks after finishing that bowl of noodles.
