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

Xia Yingying listened to their plan word for word with her ears tilted, and finally left amid their flirting.

She raised her eyebrows and thought, tomorrow is going to be really lively.

Xia Yingying washed up and returned to her room. She poured the money she earned from selling cakes today onto the table and counted it. Lu Yuwei pushed the door open and looked at Xia Yingying in surprise. Xia Yingying waved her hand and said, "Xiaowei, come and help me string the money. Twenty copper coins per string."

Lu Yuwei nodded, moved a small stool and sat obediently next to Xia Yingying.

With Lu Yuwei's help, Xia Yingying quickly calculated the results of today's work. She earned a total of more than 500 coins. Xia Yingying put the strung money in a money box and secretly stuffed it into the space.

I still have more than 500 coins left from selling the wild boar last time. Now the total assets of my family are more than one or two taels of silver. Oh, and there is also the compensation from Wang Dachui and the money that Li Cuihua extorted from the original owner... I have to get it back as soon as possible.

The day after tomorrow is market day. I have to make more cakes and pastries on that day and sell them at the market, hoping to make money that day.

Xia Yingying returned to the room and lay on the bed, while Lu Yuwei faced the wall, as if she was reflecting on her mistakes.

Song Ruyi would not leave in the short term. When she made some money, she would buy a bed for Lu Yuwei to sleep alone, so that they would not be crowded. She also did not have the heart to ask a child who was afraid of her to sleep with her in fear. She was not a pervert.

By the way, we have to send Lu Haoran to school as soon as possible. He has fallen behind a lot. We can't let the future powerful official go to waste. Xia Yingying thought about money and slowly fell asleep.

After these few days of contact with Song Ruyi, she no longer felt the panic she had at the beginning when Song Ruyi's identity was about to be exposed.

They get along quite harmoniously. If Song Ruyi doesn't act like a demon, she will be filial to Song Ruyi, taking care of her in her old age and seeing her to the end of her life. After all, she occupied the original owner's body and should fulfill her responsibilities.

As soon as Xia Yingying got up, she went to the kitchen and made five pancakes for breakfast. In order to make the taste better, she added two eggs. The pancakes were fragrant and very appetizing.

Song Ruyi was washing Lu Yurou's face. The three little ones also got up. Xia Yingying gave each of them a pancake. After eating the pancake, Xia Yingying went to find Aunt Niu and went to buy cotton with her.

Before leaving, Xia Yingying secretly said a few words to Lu Haoran and Song Ruyi, and Lu Haoran nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the family." Song Ruyi said seriously.

Not long after Xia Yingying left, Li Cuihua sneaked to the end of the village and knocked on the door of Wang Dachui's house. She looked like a thief and said to Wang Dachui in a sly voice, "Brother Dachui, that bitch Xia Yingying has already left. You should hurry up too."

"I know, I know. I'll change my clothes and go." Wang Dachui picked his nose and rubbed his eye boogers.

The crooked door was shut heavily. Li Cuihua sniffed a little and sneezed several times. She glared at the door with her triangular eyes and said viciously, "Xia Yingying, you bitch, you can make money, right? But in the end, all the money you make goes into my pocket."

Wang Dachui changed his clothes and walked towards Xia Yingying's house. Li Cuihua was so excited thinking that her dowry would be added soon that she hummed an out-of-tune tune on the way home.

Xia Yingying, Aunt Niu and Niu Dalang came to Aunt Yang's house. Aunt Yang pointed to the good cotton she had saved and opened the sack for Xia Yingying and Aunt Niu to choose from.

"Don't worry, the cotton here is all good cotton." Aunt Yang said with assurance.

"Aunt Yang, how much cotton do I need to make a thick winter quilt and two adult and four children's cotton-padded clothes?"

Xia Yingying has already calculated everything. She plans to make a new winter quilt and a cotton coat for each person.

There are many people at home now, so she and Lu Yuwei sleep together. Lu Yuwei always sleeps against the wall. Although the quilt is very large, she is still worried that Lu Yuwei can't cover herself with it. Besides, it is easy to get sick in autumn and winter, and it is not easy to recover from illness.

"A cotton coat for an adult should weigh 5 liang, and for a child it should be half that. A thick quilt should weigh jin."

The measurement units here are no different from modern ones, so Xia Yingying doesn't have to rack her brains to calculate.

In order to save money, she asked Aunt Yang directly how much cotton was needed to make a quilt and clothes for the whole family.

"Two sacks are enough." Aunt Yang said with a smile.

"They are all new cotton, you can pick whichever bag you want." Aunt Yang pointed to several sacks that were reserved for later use.

Xia Yingying pointed at two sacks at random.

"How much is it, auntie?"

"Just give me twenty cents."

It was really cheap. Two large bags of cotton only cost 20 wen. If you buy it in a store, it would probably cost more than 20 wen.

Xia Yingying paid the money to Aunt Yang on the spot.

Cotton is very light, Xia Yingying can carry even two sacks. But Aunt Niu still asked Niu Dalang to help Xia Yingying carry it back.

"Aunt Niu, it's really not necessary. This cotton is very light. I can carry it back. Let Brother Niu help you send it back later." Xia Yingying refused.

"Why do you think I brought Dalang here? I still need to chat with your Aunt Yang. You guys go first. Dalang will get it for me in a while."

Xia Yingying had no choice but to go back with Niu Dalang.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they heard Wang Dachui shouting and cursing in the yard.

"You little bastard, what did you do to me? Why can't I move?"

"Untie it for me quickly?"

"When I get better, I will definitely take your head and use it as a snack."

"You dare to stare at me? I'll dig your eyes out."

When Xia Yingying opened the door, she saw Wang Dachui kneeling on the ground, cursing, tied up with ropes like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

As he cursed, his saliva splashed everywhere and the air was filled with a foul smell.

Xia Yingying frowned.

"Wang Dachui, why are you here?" Niu Dalang asked Wang Dachui in confusion.

"Uncle Niu, Wang Dachui just came to my house to steal money and was caught by my brother. He still refused to accept the result and kept shouting that he wanted to kill us." Lu Haojie came out, made a face at Wang Dachui, and said in a baby voice.

"You're talking nonsense, I just, just..." Wang Dachui stuttered and couldn't say anything.

"Just what?" Xia Yingying asked with a raised eyebrow. "By the way, the agreed repayment time is already the deadline, are you here to repay the money?"

Xia Yingying took the initiative to throw the conversation to Wang Dachui.

"Pay back the money... No... It's not paying back the money..." Wang Dachui's face darkened. Where would he get the money to pay back? He might as well go to the gambling house and have some fun with that money.

"Wang Dachui, don't forget that you promised the village chief to pay back the money. Today is the deadline. If you are not here to pay back the money, then what are you here for? Are you really here to steal as Ajie said?"

"I..." Wang Dachui gritted his teeth, his eyes rolled and he said immediately, "I heard someone in your house shouting for help, so I came in."

Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows, glanced at her family and asked Song Ruyi directly: "Mom, what happened?"
