Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains
Chapter 5 There is no food at home
"This deed was signed by you and this brother. As the child's mother, I had no knowledge of it. You are trafficking a child. The county magistrate will have you thrown into jail."
Xia Yingying analyzed the interests clearly, especially the three words "sent to jail" were emphasized. It sounded like a fatal spell to Li Cuihua, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Dazhu was also very anxious after hearing this. He didn't expect that he had to go to the government office just because he bought a child.
Xia Yingying knew Liu Dazhu's panic and gave him a shot of prevention, "Brother Liu, don't worry, if you testify for me, you won't be implicated."
Liu Dazhu finally let go of his worries and nodded, "Big sister, I'll testify for you."
Li Cuihua was panicking. She didn't want to go to jail, get beaten, or not marry a scholar.
Li Cuihua raised her triangular eyes and said, "You mean what you said before? I'll return the money to you. Will you sue me?"
Xia Yingying nodded and said, "Of course."
Seeing Xia Yingying agreed, Li Cuihua endured the pain in her heart, took out a pink purse from her bosom, and threw it heavily at Xia Yingying: "This is the remaining silver."
Xia Yingying took the purse, but Li Cuihua held it tightly and refused to let go. Xia Yingying didn't have the patience to waste time with her and used some skill to snatch the purse away. Li Cuihua even took several steps back due to the force. If she hadn't kept her heel steady, she would have fallen flat on her face.
Xia Yingying handed the snatched purse to Liu Dazhu: "Brother, take a look, is the amount correct?"
Liu Dazhu took out his purse and counted the amount of silver, then nodded and said, "That's right."
"Brother, please give the child back to me." Xia Yingying said.
"Hey," Liu Dazhu responded and went back to pick up the child. Lu Yurou was fed by Liu Dazhu and slept soundly. It was obvious that she was well taken care of.
"Sister, I'm really sorry. When she came, she said she was the child's mother. As a widow, she couldn't afford to support her, so I bought her. I really didn't know that she stole the child."
Guilt appeared on Liu Dazhu's dark skin.
Li Cuihua did not leave. She looked sad and angrily said, "Xia Yingying, give me the money you promised me for running away!"
Xia Yingying glanced at Li Cuihua and wondered why this idiot hadn't left yet.
She rubbed her brows and said sternly, "Li Cuihua, have you forgotten that you were the one who sold my daughter? It is only natural that you took me away. I will not pursue the matter of you selling my child. Now you are still pestering me like a piece of dog shit. Do you want to go to the authorities to be satisfied?"
When Li Cuihua heard the word "see the official", she shouted in a trembling voice: "Xia Yingying, you will get your retribution." After that, she didn't even ask for the escape fee and ran away.
After the amount of money was confirmed, Liu Dazhu returned to the room and handed the sleeping child to Xia Yingying. When leaving, Liu Dazhu gave Lu Haoran a bag containing the child's diapers and clothes, as well as a large can of goat milk.
Xia Yingying declined, and Liu Dazhu smiled bitterly and said, "There are no children at home, so there is no need for it now."
After Lu Haoran brought Lu Yurou back, he kept staring at the sleeping Lu Yurou, fearing that she would disappear again.
It took half an hour to get from Xinghua Village to Daoxiang Village. Liu Dazhui harnessed his own ox cart to send Xia Yingying and her group back.
Liu Dazhui put down his things. Xia Yingying asked him to stay for dinner, but Liu Dazhui refused and drove the ox cart back.
Xia Yingying carried Lu Yurou into the yard.
There was a vegetable patch with grass growing in the yard, two large wooden basins by the well, and tattered clothes hanging on bamboo poles. It looked very tidy, and the house was relatively new, not a shabby thatched hut.
After sending Lu Yurou back to the west room, Xia Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since she came into this world, she had been holding her breath to deal with the mess left by the original owner.
Now that the breath had subsided, her stomach began to growl. The remaining poison in her body had not yet been cleared, and Xia Yingying's body began to become weak and she felt dizzy.
Since she woke up, it meant that the poison in her body should have changed and would not be life-threatening. Besides, there was no doctor in the village. If she wanted to see a doctor, she had to go to town. Not only was the journey long, but the original owner also had no money.
Furthermore, she had a system. The system reminded her that her life was in danger last time. After she saved Lu Yuwei, the system became silent. She guessed that her life would not be in danger for the time being.
The most urgent thing was to fill her rumbling stomach. If she didn't eat, she would almost faint from hunger.
Xia Yingying ran into the kitchen and searched around, but found only some condiments and nothing else to eat. It was so clean that there was not even a mouse.
Only then did she remember that the original owner had squandered all the winnings left by Lu Ziren, and there was nothing to eat at home.
Fortunately, the children were hardworking and went out to pick wild vegetables every day, so the original owner had wild vegetables to eat. Otherwise, with the original owner's lazy and gluttonous character, he would probably have starved to death.
While Xia Yingying was looking for food, Lu Yuwei was standing at the door with a small vegetable basket and poking her head out.
"Stepmother, these are the wild vegetables I picked today. Let's have some wild vegetable soup later." Lu Yuwei said timidly, handing over the basket with trembling hands.
She scolded Xia Yingying today, and she was very scared, not knowing how Xia Yingying would treat her.
Xia Yingying took a look at the wild vegetables in the basket. The basket was filled to the brim with half of the wild vegetables, half of the wild vegetables and half of the wild vegetables.
She had lived in the countryside and knew that the taste of angelica dahurica was a bit bitter, while shepherd's purse had a crisp texture and angelica dahurica tasted much better.
Furthermore, tongercao is harder to find than shepherd's purse.
There are so many clematis in the vegetable basket, do they like to eat it?
Xia Yingying looked at Lu Yuwei, who was standing by the door with her head bowed, and asked curiously, "Do you like to eat Tonger grass?"
When Lu Yuwei heard Xia Yingying's voice, she squatted down and cried with her head in her hands, "Stepmother, don't hit me. I will go find shepherd's purse in a while and never look for tonger grass again."
Xia Yingying was frightened by Lu Yuwei's violent reaction. She was just asking out of curiosity, but look how scared the child was.
"I'm just asking, I won't hit you. Get up first. There are enough wild vegetables for today. You don't need to look for them anymore."
It was getting a little dark now, and she was still worried about letting a child go out alone.
As Xia Yingying said this, she was about to help Lu Yuwei up. As soon as her hands touched Lu Yuwei's thin body, Lu Yuwei trembled even more violently.
Seeing Lu Yuwei's violent reaction, Xia Yingying could only ignore her.
Lu Yuwei didn't like tong'ercao, and neither did her brother and sister. When there was nothing to eat at home, she would pick wild vegetables and cook soup. At first, she would bring back all the edible wild vegetables and cook them in one pot. Later, she realized that tong'ercao was a bit bitter, and shepherd's purse tasted better.
One day, Lu Yuwei brought back only shepherd's purse, and Xia Yingying ate it all, leaving nothing for them.
From then on, Lu Yuwei only picked half shepherd's purse and half leeks.
According to past experience, Xia Yingying would definitely beat her up, but Xia Yingying said she would not beat anyone. What happened to her? Was she stupid because of the rat poison?
"Is there no other food at home?" Xia Yingying asked unwillingly when she saw that there were only wild vegetables for dinner.
