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

"No...no...no hurry, no hurry."

Du Shuili's speed of changing her expression is amazing. Xia Yingying's brain is in a state of shutdown, and Du Shuili puts all her eggs in Xia Yingying's basket.

Xia Yingying gave Du Shuili the eggs according to the market price. Du Shuili felt bad and took five more eggs and put them in Xia Yingying's basket.

After buying the eggs, Xia Yingying did not stay for long, for fear of delaying Aunt Niu and Du Shuili's work.

Du Shuili escorted the two to the yard and said, "Since you are in a hurry to go back, wait for me to pick a few pears for you. If you don't pick them, they will rot in the yard. We can't eat so many, and they are not worth much."

"Thank you." Xia Yingying did not refuse and smiled with two dimples showing.

"You're welcome." Du Shuili took the pear picking pole and picked a lot of pears in a short while. She and Lu Haojie and Aunt Niu each held a large bag in their outer coats.

After Xia Yingying and Lu Haojie returned home, Lu Haoran was watering the vegetables, while Song Ruyi and Lu Yuwei were washing clothes by the well.

Song Ruyi looked at Xia Yingying carrying a basket full of eggs and the pears they were carrying, and said in surprise: "You are back, where are the pears?"

"A family in the village."

"Then you should give some to others when you have something in the future, otherwise people will say you are stingy." Song Ruyi couldn't help but remind Xia Yingying, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.

Xia Yingying hated her preaching. Every time she preached, Xia Yingying would turn hostile on the spot and show no mercy. This time, would Yingying just kick her out?

Oh, it was all her fault for her foul mouth. She couldn't help but want to slap herself a few times.

But she had no idea that although the person in front of her had the same face as her daughter, he was a completely different person inside.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that. Don't be angry with me." Song Ruyi stopped washing clothes, looked up at Xia Yingying timidly, and apologized humbly.

"Okay, I'll remember it." Xia Yingying replied calmly.

She only had vague memories of the original owner and her mother getting along. She never expected that her mother would be so humble in front of the original owner. The original owner could be said to have no upbringing.

She is herself, and the original owner is the original owner. The original owner is no longer here, and there is no need for her to live under the original owner's shadow.

Now Song Ruyi is her nominal mother, she is not a bad person, and she has no experience of getting along with her parents, so she will handle this matter in her own way, so that Song Ruyi can accept her again, a brand new her.

"Mom, you don't have to apologize. I know you are doing this for my own good."

Song Ruyi's heart suddenly soured, and her eyes were filled with tears. She choked up and said, "Yingying has grown up. Mom is very happy."

Xia Yingying couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She looked up, blinked, and quickly changed the subject: "Mom, I bought some new cloth to make clothes for you and the children. I don't know how to make clothes, so I can only count on you."

When Song Ruyi heard that Xia Yingying bought her cloth for making clothes, a flower-like smile bloomed on her face, and she said with a smile: "Silly child, why did you spend so much money to buy cloth for me? Mother can wear your clothes. Don't worry, I will measure the sizes of my grandchildren in a while."

"Don't be in a hurry. Do it whenever you have time." Xia Yingying was afraid that Song Ruyi would get too excited and work overtime, so she immediately advised him.

"Oh, Mom has nothing to do now, so I have some free time." Song Ruyi was washing clothes, and she became more and more energetic the more she washed.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Song Ruyi, Xia Yingying didn't say anything more and went back to the kitchen with the eggs.

When Lu Haoran heard that Xia Yingying bought cloth for them to make clothes, his heart was in turmoil.

Lu Yuwei felt a little flustered and a little excited.

Lu Haojie was also completely immersed in the joy of making new clothes.

When Lu Ziren was still at home, they had three or four sets of clothes a year on average. Since Lu Ziren left, they have never worn new clothes. Children of this age grow fast and their clothes no longer fit them.

It was almost time for lunch, so Xia Yingying lit the fire and prepared to make some braised pork offal, which she would eat with hot and cold dishes.

There were still some pig intestines, pig heads and livers left that had not been sold. She simply rinsed them, added some salt to prevent them from spoiling and put them aside.

Xia Yingying didn't cook it before simply because she wanted to eat meat. Now that she has the time and the seasonings, she plans to make some braised pork offal.

Xia Yingying took out wood ash from the stove hole, put it in a basin and mixed it with pig offal, and rubbed it vigorously five or six times. Wood ash has a strong adsorption capacity and can clean the mucus secreted by the pig intestines.

When it was almost done, Xia Yingying turned the pig intestines over, picked out most of the lymph and fat inside, and put them in a basin.

The pork liver is cut into slices and washed with wood ash or flour, but using flour is too luxurious for her now.

Xia Yingying came to the well carrying two basins of black and smelly things. Lu Yuwei and Lu Haoran looked at the things in the basins with disgust. Lu Haojie covered his nose with his sleeve and ran away.

Song Ru felt very distressed when she saw Xia Yingying put ashes in the pig offal, but she didn't dare to say much.

Xia Yingying's hands were smelly, and she didn't dare to fetch water herself, for fear of making the water smelly, so she asked Lu Haoran to help her. Lu Haoran still had that poker face, he fetched water and poured it into the basin, watching Xia Yingying wash the pig intestines.

Song Ruyi couldn't bear it anymore and said distressedly: "Yingying, you shouldn't have poured the wood ash into the pig offal at that time, then you wouldn't have to wash it so hard."

"Mom, the pig offal washed with wood ash is clean."

Song Ruyi wanted to say something, but she held back. In her opinion, Xia Yingying was just stubborn. She would reflect on her mistake only after she wasted the offal.

Song Ruyi sighed.

Xia Yingying poured the water and stretched out her hand, waiting for Lu Haoran to continue to draw water and then continue rinsing. She washed it several times in a row. When the pig intestines appeared white and the blood in the pig liver was gone, Xia Yingying stopped.

"Bring me a bucket of water." Xia Yingying said to the two onlookers.

Without saying a word, Lu Haoran fetched a bucket of clean water from the well and followed Xia Yingying into the kitchen.

After Lu Yuwei and Song Ruyi dried their clothes, they also went into the kitchen.

Lu Haojie was still traumatized by the black and smelly thing that had just happened. He covered his nose and stood far away from the well, not following into the kitchen.

Lu Yuwei sat on her own little stool and added firewood to the stove. Lu Haoran poured water into the pot. Xia Yingying poured the pork intestines and liver seasoning into the pot and also put a few green onions in.

"Yingying, does this really taste good?" Song Ruyi asked doubtfully.

"Mom, you'll know whether it tastes good or not in a moment."

Lu Yuwei made the fire burn brightly, and soon an enticing aroma came out of the pot. Lu Yuwei and Lu Haoran couldn't help licking their lips.
