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

Lu Haojie didn't answer her, and she didn't urge him. He could go or not, so he carried the basket and walked towards the gate.

"Stepmother, I'll go with you."

Lu Haojie made up his mind and chased after her, following behind Xia Yingying.

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, Xia Yingying slowed down her pace, and the two of them staggered to the village chief's house.

Aunt Niu was bending over and weeding in the vegetable garden in front of the door.

"Aunt Niu, you are busy." Xia Yingying greeted. Lu Haojie also called someone.

Aunt Niu called out "good girl" and saw Xia Yingying coming out of the vegetable garden with a basket.

"Aunt Niu, I want to buy thirty eggs. I'll need more later. Could you help me find a chicken farmer in the village? What's the price you think is right?"

Xia Yingying explained her purpose and gave the initiative of pricing to Aunt Niu.

"Hey, Yingying, you came at an untimely time. My eggs are sold at the market, and they have only laid four eggs so far. But Shuili's eggs, I heard her say last time that she wanted to save more to sell at the market, so she must have some. I'll take you to her house to buy some."

"Excuse me, Aunt Niu."

"Why should we be polite to each other?"

Aunt Niu took Lu Haojie and Xia Yingying and walked two hundred meters towards the center of the village, stopping in a yard with a tree full of pears.

"Your sister Shuili's home is right here. She brought back embroidery from town. She is very skillful, but we can't do that."

"Shui Li, are you home?" Aunt Niu shouted at the top of her lungs, knocking on the door as she shouted. The door made a clacking sound. Xia Yingying was afraid that the door would be knocked down by Aunt Niu. Her ears were buzzing and Aunt Niu's penetrating voice was still repeating in her mind.

"coming."

"Aunt Niu, what's the matter?" Du Shuili opened the door and looked at Xia Yingying curiously.

Xia Yingying explained her purpose, and Du Shuili said proudly, "That's great. It saves me from having to go to the market to sell eggs. I have fifty eggs here. How many do you want?"

"I want them all." Eggs are the most wasteful ingredient in making pastries. I don't know what will come out of fifty eggs next time, so I might as well buy them all.

"Sister Shuili, keep all the eggs from your side for me. Aunt Niu, the same goes for your eggs."

"Okay." Du Shuili and Aunt Niu agreed readily.

However, most people eat their own eggs or sell them at the market. It is rare to see someone buy so many eggs at one time like Xia Yingying does.

"Yingying, why do you need so many eggs?" Du Shuili asked curiously. Aunt Niu also looked at her with a pair of wrinkled eyes.

"I plan to make some small cakes to sell and make some money. I can't just sit there and live off my savings." Xia Yingying explained with a smile, revealing two shallow dimples.

Everyone in the village would know about her business, so there was no need to hide it.

Du Shuili lowered her eyes. That was true. If she, as a woman, did not have the embroidery skills to make money, she would have to work in the fields. Xia Yingying was raising four children alone. Her husband had died and there was no land at home. She couldn't just wait for a pie to fall from the sky and let the whole family starve.

"When you make the pastries and sell them, be sure to tell me and I'll come to support you." Du Shuili remembered Xia Yingying's kindness in giving her the pork, and she would definitely go to see Xia Yingying when she opened her shop.

"Thank you, Sister Shuili. I will definitely treat you then."

"Don't forget me either." Aunt Niu said at the right time.

Several women in the yard were chatting animatedly, and Lu Haojie and Du Shuili's youngest daughter Erya were also chattering.

"Brother, will your father come back?" Her father would not be back until seven days later. Her mother said that seven days was a short time, but she missed her father.

The little brother’s father hasn’t come back for a long time. The uncles and aunts in the village all say that his father has gone to a very far place.

"Yes, my eldest brother said that my father will come back." Lu Haojie said firmly.

"How many days will it take for your father to come back? My father will be back in seven days, and mother said it will be soon." Erya stretched out her white and tender fingers and poked Lu Haojie's arm, while the white and tender fingers of her other hand stretched out,

"I don't know." Lu Haojie shook his head disappointedly.

"But he will be back soon." He added, obviously not very confident.

"That's great, little brother. When your father comes back, you must tell me." Erya quickly became friends with Lu Haojie.

She took out a juicy pear from her bosom and handed it to Lu Haojie: "This one is very sweet, I'll give it to you."

Lu Haojie took the pear and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Erya sister."

The pear tree suddenly collapsed with a bang, and a branch of its trunk fell to the ground, followed by a flurry of footsteps.

"Who is it?" Du Shuili's face darkened instantly. She ran out and saw Li Cuihua, who was wearing a pink dress and a peony in her hair.

"Li Cuihua, you fool, if you want to eat pears, just tell me and I'll pick some for you, but you have to do something so shameless! You're so shameless, you just sold my child, and now you're stealing pears again. You can steal if you want, but why did you break my tree?"

Xia Yingying was stunned when she heard Du Shuili's fierce scolding. Judging from her appearance, Du Shuili looked like a beautiful and gentle gardenia, and she would not do the kind of thing that a shrew would do. But the fact proved that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

"What? I didn't steal your pear. It fell from the sky and hit me on the head. I felt wronged when I saw your pear fall to the ground, so I picked it up out of kindness. I am a civilized person and I would never do such a sneaky thing. It's you who did it. Don't throw dirty water on me."

Li Cuihua pointed to the fallen branches on the ground, with a large bag of pears in the pocket of her skirt.

Du Shuili was shocked by Li Cuihua's words, but she was much more powerful. She didn't talk nonsense with Li Cuihua. She just came over with a big rake and scratched Li Cuihua's body. The rake had sharp hooks, and Du Shuili didn't worry about hurting anyone at all.

Li Cuihua hugged Li Zi tightly, dodged backwards, and stammered, "How...how could you hurt someone?"

"Put the pear down for me."

Li Cuihua ran faster with the pear in her arms, and Du Shuili followed behind with a large rake.

Xia Yingying and Aunt Niu looked at each other.

Lu Haojie said to Erya in surprise: "Erya, your mother is really amazing."

"That's right, even my father is afraid of my mother." Erya raised her neck proudly.

Because of her escape, the pears on Li Cuihua's body fell down one after another and were smashed to pieces. The matter was settled only after Li Cuihua apologized. Of course, that's a story for later.

Du Shuili came back, holding the rake, her face not red, and she said indignantly: "People like Li Cuihua are really shameless."

After a moment, he put on a kind face, "Sister Yingying, you must be anxious waiting," "Please like and follow"
