"Don't worry, I really want to sell Arou and I won't get her back." Xia Yingying explained.

Lu Yuwei, whose thoughts were guessed, looked at Xia Yingying with horror in her eyes.

Lu Yuwei's arms suddenly became empty, and the baby instantly fell into Xia Yingying's arms.

Lu Yuwei stood by, fearing that Xia Yingying would do something bad to Arou.

Xia Yingying hugged Lu Yurou and coaxed her, saying gently, "Dear, don't cry, the goat milk will come soon, it will come soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yurou burped in Xia Yingying's arms, and slowly stopped crying. She opened her big eyes and looked at Xia Yingying curiously. She stretched out her little hands and patted Xia Yingying's chest, laughing while patting, and burped, obviously very happy.

Lu Haoran brought the goat milk over and was stunned when he saw Xia Yingying's actions.

Ever since he heard the news of his father's death in the war, he has never seen Xia Yingying hug Arou. She even disliked Arou's noisy crying and once covered Arou's mouth with a quilt. If he hadn't discovered it early, Arou would have died.

Such a person actually took the initiative to hug Arou.

Lu Haoran lowered his head, and when he raised his eyes, he regained his calm expression. He handed the goat milk to Lu Yuwei and said to Xia Yingying, "Stepmother, I'll hold A'Rou. You go down and rest first. It's getting late."

Xia Yingying continued to coax Lu Yurou: "Arou is starving, give me the goat milk."

As she was about to sit down and feed Lu Yurou, Lu Haoran said unyieldingly, "Stepmother, it's very difficult for Ah Rou to breastfeed. Let me do it."

Lu Haoran is meticulous and acts like an older brother. He is very wary of Xia Yingying.

Lu Yuwei looks weak and obedient, but she is extremely sensitive.

Lu Haojie is much more heartless than his brothers and sisters, and he follows them everywhere.

Seeing Lu Haoran so persistent, Xia Yingying knew that Lu Haoran was worried about her, so she handed Lu Yurou to him and stood by to watch Lu Haoran feed the baby with goat milk.

Lu Haoran first tested the temperature of the goat milk, and when he saw that it was right, he put the goat milk in Lu Yurou's mouth.

Xia Yingying felt someone was looking at her, she turned her head to look in that direction, only to see Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie lowering their heads and playing with their hands.

Did I see it wrong? Xia Yingying raised her eyebrows and curled her lips.

Lu Yurou fell asleep soon after drinking a bowl of goat's milk.

Lu Yurou smelled like milk, and her face was white and tender, especially the two lumps of flesh on her cheeks.

At this moment, Xia Yingying felt that gaze again, and turned her head quickly, meeting the gaze of the person who was peeking at her. It was Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie.

Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie's faces were full of question marks. After being caught,

Feeling extremely guilty, the brother and sister were trembling with fear. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in unison: "Stepmother, please don't hit me..."

It was this sentence again, making Xia Yingying seem like a violent person, ready to hit people at any time.

"I don't hit people." Xia Yingying explained weakly again.

After saying that, he left the room and took a walk around the yard.

In fact, it’s not Lu Yuwei’s fault that Lu Haojie made a fuss.

The original owner would beat or scold the children. If things went wrong or she was in a bad mood, she would vent her anger on them. In just a few months, their bodies were covered with bruises, new wounds and old wounds. It was horrible to look at. If this happened in modern times, the original owner would be sentenced.

Being beaten seemed to be engraved in the three children's memories. Whenever Xia Yingying made the slightest movement, they would subconsciously beg for mercy.

This dark experience also shaped the initial character traits of several villains. Even when they died, the first thing they said was: Please don't hit me.

Xia Yingying sighed. These children were actually quite pitiful.

If he hadn't had such a stepmother, he would never have had such a tragic ending as described in the book.

Now that she was here and had taken over the original owner's body, she would take care of them before Lu Ziren came back, reduce the original owner's influence on them, and keep them away from the villains in the book, so that they would not end up in such a tragic way as in the book. It was not in vain that she met the children.

The three children breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Yingying leave.

Lu Yuwei took out four steamed buns from a box and the three siblings shared them.

Lu Haoran stared at the door, afraid that Xia Yingying would suddenly appear there.

After eating, Lu Yuwei lowered her voice and whispered, “Brother, do you have a stepmother? It’s so strange today.”

"Yes, our stepmother didn't beat us. She even made soup for us. The soup she made was pretty good. I just couldn't stand the hunger. Fortunately, Aunt Niu gave us steamed buns." Lu Haojie muttered softly and licked the steamed bun crumbs on his mouth.

Lu Haoran was also full of doubts, and even suspected that the person today was not Xia Yingying at all. However, the figure and appearance were exactly the same, so it was impossible that she was not Xia Yingying.

"Let's be more careful in the future and see what she is up to." Lu Haoran lowered his voice and patted the sleeping Lu Yurou. He was worried that Xia Yingying was playing tricks on them to make them let down their guard, so he could only remind his younger brothers and sisters to be careful and not fall for her tricks.

"When will Dad come back? I miss him so much. When he comes back, we won't have to be tortured by that vicious woman anymore." Lu Yuwei muttered softly.

"Brother, the village kid said that daddy is dead and will never come back. Is it true that daddy will never come back?" Lu Haojie grabbed Lu Haoran's arm with his little hand and asked nervously.

Lu Haoran frowned. The news of Lu Ziren's death in battle came six months ago. There has been no news during this period, and Lu Haoran has no confidence that Lu Ziren must be alive. Seeing Lu Haojie like this, he said, "Dad will definitely come back, Gou Wa is talking nonsense."

"I knew that Dad would come back. He promised me." Lu Haojie whispered excitedly.

Lu Haoran made a gesture to keep quiet, and soon he heard Xia Yingying's footsteps.

Xia Yingying just walked around the yard and then wanted to go to the bathroom. As expected, she could not escape the fate of going hungry today.

After going to the bathroom, her stomach was empty and she felt even hungrier. In order to avoid getting up frequently at night, Xia Yingying drank half a bowl of water, which made her stomach feel better.

Xia Yingying was not in the mood to go on, so she went back to her room. As soon as she sat down, Lu Haojie opened a basin of water and came in, then half-knelt on the ground, reaching out to take off Xia Yingying's shoes and socks.

Xia Yingying shrank back in fear. Seeing this, Lu Haojie turned pale, huddled up into a ball, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Stepmother, I'm sorry, please don't hit me..."

Chapter 2361 Wild Boar

"Okay, I won't hit you. Go back to sleep. I won't hit you." After saying that, without looking at Lu Haojie, she took off her shoes and socks and put her feet in the basin of water.

Lu Haojie did not leave, but stood a little further away from Xia Yingying. After Xia Yingying finished washing, he went forward to help Xia Yingying pour the water for washing her feet.

Seeing that Lu Haojie’s face was pale, Xia Yingying did not stop him. If she refused again, Lu Haojie would probably have nightmares all night.

Seeing that Lu Haojie had left, Xia Yingying opened the box where the original owner had hidden her money. There was not a single copper coin in it. There was only a plum blossom silver hairpin in the jewelry box, which was a dowry given by the original owner's mother.

Xia Yingying gave up the idea of ​​exchanging the hairpin for money.

Xia Yingying lay on the bed thinking about how to survive in this world.
