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

Song Ruyi and Qin Qingfeng didn't like each other, and there were intense sparks flying in the air.

Xia Yingying sat between the two of them to stop them from eye-to-eye contact.

No one was used to having two fewer children at home at first. Xia Yingying could finally sleep in a bed by herself, but she would also miss Lu Yuwei.

Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei went to school, but they still had to go out to sell cakes at the family's bakery. Now it was Lu Haojie who went out with Xia Yingying to sell cakes, while Song Ruyi stayed at home to take care of Lu Yurou.

Since Song Ruyi and Qin Qingfeng didn't get along at home, fortunately Qin Qingfeng was usually collecting herbs in the mountains and usually only appeared at mealtime.

Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei come back twice a month. When it happens to be market day, the brother and sister will rush to the market to help Xia Yingying.

Everyone in the Lu family has their own things to do.

That day, Xia Yingying took Lu Haojie to set up stalls in other villages as usual. Song Ruyi stayed at home to take care of the children, while Qin Qingfeng went to the mountains to dig herbs.

Lu Ziren, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the village riding a red horse. Some people saw Lu Ziren coming back and shouted in the village: "Lu Ziren is back, Lu Ziren is back..."

That's why Lu Ziren returned to the village, and most people in the village knew about it.

During this period, Xia Yingying's reputation in the village has changed, and she has become a synonym for positivity in the village.

However, these people were not happy with Xia Yingying making money, nor were they happy with the fact that Xia Yingying did not distribute the unsold cakes to them for free. When they saw Lu Ziren coming back, they were determined to have Lu Ziren deal with Xia Yingying, so they started to complain.

"Lu Erlang is back now. Now, that vicious woman Xia Yingying is going to be in big trouble."

"That's not true. She abused several children. Our neighbors and villagers saw it with their own eyes."

"Lu Jia Erlang, now that you are back, you must deal with that vicious woman Xia Yingying. The children have really suffered during this period of time."

Several women gathered around Lu Ziren and recounted what Xia Yingying had done, adding exaggeration to the story.

Lu Ziren frowned.

Xia Yingying? Wasn't she already dead? How come she's still alive?

Could it be that he came back too early and Xia Yingying is not dead yet?

If she's not dead, she's not far from death.

He would let her know that living was more painful than dying.

He would make Xia Yingying pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold for what she had done to the children.

Lu Ziren's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent, and he ignored the villagers.

He patted the horse, whose hooves raised a cloud of dust, and Lu Ziren rode to the country cottage in his memory.

He got off the horse, walked quickly to the door, put his hand on the door knocker, and knocked on the door impatiently.

When he came back in his previous life, Lu Haojie was taking care of Lu Yurou in the yard. The two children were very thin due to hunger.

Lu Yuwei was kidnapped, and Lu Haoran went to look for wild vegetables and fell down covered in mud.

He was carrying a small basket containing a millet fish and a large bowl of goat's milk.

It's his fault.

He shouldn't have thrown several children to Xia Yingying before he fully understood her character, otherwise his children would not have experienced such a thing.

Lu Ziren raised his eyes, his eyes full of sadness.

Song Ruyi was weeding in the yard. The vegetables in the garden had grown a lot taller and some were ready to eat.

She heard the knock on the door but didn't respond immediately. Seeing that the knocks were getting more and more urgent, Song Ruyi asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

"I am Lu Ziren."

When Lu Ziren heard that the voices were not those of the children but those of a strange middle-aged woman, his heart sank.

Could it be that something unexpected happened during his rebirth this time, and the trajectories of his children also changed from their previous life?

Lu Ziren didn't have time to think about it and just wanted to go into the yard and take a look.

When Song Ruyi heard that it was Lu Ziren, she was shocked.

Lu Ziren is Yingying’s husband. Didn’t they say that he had died on the battlefield? How come he is back now?

But who can say for sure what happens on the battlefield?

She was happy for Yingying that Lu Ziren came back alive.

It is not easy for Yingying, a woman, to make a living by raising four children, but now that her husband is back, Yingying doesn't have to work so hard.

Song Ruyi threw the grass on the ground, patted the dust off his hands and went to open the door, but unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door and opened it, there was no one outside.

She closed the door and turned around, and saw a tall and slender man with cold eyes. His black tights made his temperament more serene, and his whole body exuded a strong message.

Song Ruyi was startled and patted his chest.

On the day Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren got married, she secretly glanced at Lu Ziren through the crowd. Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren did not return home. At that time, Lu Ziren's aura was not as strong as it is now.

"Ziren, you're back?" Song Ruyi said stutteringly.

Now that Lu Ziren is back, she may not be able to stay at Yingying's house anymore.

I would like to ask, which mother-in-law would stay in her son-in-law's house for a long time without leaving?

Song Ruyi was hesitating whether to tell her about her stay there during this period of time.

Lu Ziren asked, "What about the four children?"

Song Ruyi immediately replied: "The eldest and the second oldest went to private school, the third oldest and Yingying went to sell cakes. The fourth oldest is sleeping in bed."

Hearing Song Ruyi's fluent answer, Lu Ziren was a little confused.

This is totally different from the previous life.

He looked around the yard. It was clean and tidy, planted with vegetables and the firewood was neatly stacked.

Clothes and quilts were hung on bamboo poles to dry, and there was a faint scent of soapberries. Under the eaves, a string of bright red peppers was hung. It looked quite cozy.

Lu Ziren raised his eyebrows and went straight to Lu Yuwei's room without saying a word.

There was indeed a half-grown baby sleeping on the bed, her face was white and tender, and she was plump and very cute, with bubbles of milk coming out of her mouth from time to time.

This is Lu Yurou, a completely different Lu Yurou from her previous life. It is obvious that she is being well taken care of.

It all happened in a somewhat bizarre way.

Lu Ziren slapped his thigh. It hurt, it was real.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that Xia Yingying was also reborn?

Song Ruyi had already accepted the news that Lu Ziren had returned. When she saw Lu Ziren coming out, she asked, "Ziren, have you eaten? Are you hungry?"

Lu Ziren had indeed not eaten. He originally wanted to reject Song Ruyi's kindness, because she was Xia Yingying's mother.

But thinking that the tragedy of the previous life had not yet happened, he had no right to blame Xia Yingying for something that had not yet happened.

Then he nodded: "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble." Song Ruyi grabbed a handful of leeks and made noodles for Lu Ziren to eat.

There were no leftovers from lunch. Today, Xia Yingying and Lu Haojie went out to sell after lunch. There were leftovers, but they were all eaten by Qin the liar who was eating and drinking for free.

He doesn't do any housework, but he's quite active in eating.

The noodles were cooked soon, and Song Ruyi picked up a piece of meat sauce and put it on the noodles.

The portion of noodles was huge, and it was served in the same large bowl that Xia Yingying used to serve her pastries.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziren actually finished it all, even drinking up all the soup.

"Do you want more?" Song Ruyi was worried that Lu Ziren was not full.

Her husband, Old Man Xia, used to be able to eat when he worked in the fields. So she cooked a lot of noodles at once.

Lu Ziren shook his head. He was already full. After eating, he washed the dishes himself.

The clothes I'm wearing have been worn for several days and they already smell.

Lu Ziren went back to his room and got a set of clean clothes.

When I opened the door, my eyes were immediately attracted by a light green dress next to the window.

Before, Xia Yingying hung the clothes in the yard to dry, but after Qin Qingfeng came, she didn't want to be gossiped about, so she followed the tradition of that era and hung the clothes in the room to dry.

Lu Ziren's eyes moved slightly, then retracted.

The room was neater and cleaner than in the previous life. The quilt was folded into two neat piles on the bed, and the clothes in the closet were also neatly placed. It was obvious that the person living here was a hygiene lover.

There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the dressing table, as well as a copy of Thousand Character Classic.

There were words written on the white paper. The words were crooked, as if they were written by a three-year-old child, and as weak as earthworms without bones.

As soon as Lu Ziren put down the rice paper, a voice came from the yard.

"Mom, we are back."
