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

"It's not easy for our stepmother and grandmother to take care of us. We can't eat alone."

Lu Haojie held up the candied haws in his hand and said, "Give your candied haws to stepmother and grandmother, and I'll divide mine among you. There are three left now, and they're all yours."

Lu Haoran gave the candied haws to Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi.

"My dear, just eat. Grandma knows that you are filial." Song Ruyi smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Xia Yingying doesn't like to eat that stuff.

Finally, the candied haws that Lu Haojie saved also went into his stomach. Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei each had a string.

After eating the candied haws, Lu Haojie fetched water for Xia Yingying to wash her feet as usual, while Lu Haoran brought water for Song Ruyi to wash her feet. As soon as they reached the door, they heard an argument from inside.

"Mom, please sleep with me. My bed is spacious." Xia Yingying said to Song Ruyi who was sitting on the bed holding the child.

She actually wanted to sleep with Lu Yuwei more. Song Ruyi was the original owner's mother. If she was found talking in her sleep and Song Ruyi heard her and knew that she was not the original owner, she would be dead. But after Song Ruyi said that, she still declined.

"No, you sleep with Xiaowei, and I'll sleep with Arou. It's just the right time for me to help you look after the kids. You've been busy enough today, so go to bed early."

Song Ruzhi wanted to persuade Xia Yingying further, so he put Lu Yurou on the bed without saying anything, lifted the quilt and lay down, as if he would not get up no matter what Xia Yingying did.

Song Ruyi felt sorry for Xia Yingying, so she asked Lu Yuwei to take care of a child like Lu Yurou. She was worried and also felt sorry for Xia Yingying. She wanted Xia Yingying to have a good sleep. Xia Yingying liked to move around when she slept, which would disturb Xia Yingying's good dreams.

Xia Yingying loosened her clenched fists nervously and walked towards Lu Yuwei who was standing beside her.

"Xiao Wei, will you sleep with me tonight?"

Lu Yuwei looked at Xia Yingying with evasive eyes, her fingers pinching her sleeves to hide her uneasiness, and nodded timidly.

"Do you want to stay here for a while or come back to bed with me?"

"Go to sleep." Lu Yuwei said timidly.

Xia Yingying walked in front, and Lu Yuwei followed behind her with her head down.

After entering the room, Xia Yingying took out a quilt from the box and gave it to Lu Yuwei: "I like to grab the quilt when I sleep, you cover yourself with this."

Lu Yuwei nodded stiffly.

Xia Yingying pointed to the bed and said, "You sleep inside."

Lu Yuwei nodded again, took off her shoes and coat, and slowly crawled in like a turtle wearing only her white underpants.

Xia Yingying’s bed is really big. It was made when the original owner and Lu Ziren got married.

Lu Yuwei wrapped her quilt tightly against the wall, cutting a line between her and Xia Yingying's quilt, and neither of them wanted to cross it.

Xia Yingying blew out the candles, pulled the quilt over her, closed her eyes, and didn't feel like caring about Lu Yuwei. She was exhausted after a day of running around, and fell asleep in a short while. Not long after, Lu Yuwei heard Xia Yingying's steady breathing.

After a long time, Lu Yuwei's uneasiness subsided, and she fell asleep accompanied by the pleasant fragrance of Xia Yingying.

Lu Haojie was also snoring. He slept with his legs spread out, kicking his feet everywhere and resting them on Lu Haoran's stomach.

Lu Haoran pressed Lu Haojie's dancing legs with his hands with an expressionless face, and couldn't fall asleep for a while.

Lu Haojie's words replayed in his mind. His heart moved slightly and he frowned. He couldn't help thinking: Xia Yingying, should I believe that you have become a better person?

[The favorability value increases by 1, which can be used to offset the previously owed points and can be exchanged for a box of milk. Would the host like to redeem it? ]

The loli voice suddenly rang in Xia Yingying's ears. She was dreaming about counting money, and she was suddenly awakened by a fish, with a little saliva overflowing from her mouth.

She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were about to spit fire.

"What a crap system. It disturbs people's sleep, just like killing their parents."

"Who on earth is this? Why are you staying up late at night and being horny to me? Can you please stop torturing me?"

Xia Yingying fell down again cursing and continued to sleep.

In the refrigerator area of ​​the space, a box of fresh milk is visible.

Xia Yingying was extremely tired and slept until dawn. She changed her clothes, tied her hair up, and stretched out while standing at the door.

Song Ruyi and her three children were sitting on a small stool, each holding a small knife, peeling persimmons.

Seeing Xia Yingying come out, four pairs of eyes looked at Xia Yingying.

Song Ruyi looked up and said with a smile: "Yingying, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer."

"Mom, you're up so early." Xia Yingying scratched her head awkwardly.

It was getting late now, and if she didn't know that Song Ruyi meant no harm, she would have guessed that the words were a teasing.

The whole family was awake, except for her and that little kid Arou.

She wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury her. Oh my god, she was so dead.

Fortunately, Xia Yingying was not too thin-skinned. After washing up, she joined the group of people peeling persimmons.

It took two adults and three children three quarters of an hour to peel a basket of persimmons. Some of the persimmons were rotten. She had no time to deal with them in the past two days. If she hadn't seen Song Ruyi doing it today, she would have remembered to do it only after they were all rotten.

A basket of peeled persimmons filled a large basin.

Xia Yingying took out some string and strung the peeled persimmons together, hanging them on the clothes-drying pole. The three children followed Xia Yingying's example and strung the string on the pole. Song Ruyi put the persimmon peels in a bamboo sieve to dry.

"Grandma, why do we have to dry the persimmon peels? Can we eat the persimmon peels?" Lu Yuwei asked curiously.

"Persimmon peels cannot be eaten. I dry them to cover the persimmon frost." Song Ruyi evenly spread the persimmon peels in the bamboo sieve.

"Frost, is it the icy and cool kind?" Lu Haojie's grandmother asked.

"Yeah, it's icy cold." Song Ruyi said with a smile.

Lu Haojie exclaimed in surprise. He could not help licking his lips as he imagined eating the icy persimmon frost.

Xia Yingying went back to her room to get some money and a basket to go to Aunt Niu's house to buy some eggs. There was only goat milk in the village, which smelled fishier than cow milk. There was only one box of milk in the refrigerator, which was not enough to make cakes. So she decided not to use milk.

"Stepmother, where are you going?" Lu Haojie pulled Song Ruyi's arm and poked his head out.

"I'm going to Aunt Niu's to buy eggs. Do you want to come with me?"

Xia Yingying found that since she bought him candied haws, Lu Haojie was not so afraid of her.

After all, he was still young and naive, and was bought off by a string of candied haws. This is completely different from the villain image he will have in the future. Unlike Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei, he is still very cautious now, and this cautiousness does have the shadow of a future villain.

However, this has nothing to do with her. She will leave here anyway, and it will be more difficult to deal with it after she develops feelings.

Song Ruyi fetched water from the well to irrigate the vegetable garden, and the two older children helped.

"Yingying, do you want to buy a lot? Let Haoran go with you?" Song Ruyi put down the gourd and said.
