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

Xia Yingying's eyes were burned by Lu Ziren's exposed muscles. She subconsciously withdrew her gaze, but inadvertently stared at Lu Ziren's muscles, attracted by the subtle hormonal scent he exuded.

"Madam, where are you going to put these eggs?" the vendor reminded at the right time.

"Oh, put it in the kitchen."

Xia Yingying came to her senses and led the vendor to the kitchen. The vendor put down the eggs and left.

The task of beating a lot of eggs to make a cake was naturally given to Lu Ziren.

But when she thought of Lu Ziren's exposed chest just now, Xia Yingying couldn't help but feel her ears burning.

"Lu Ziren, please help me with something." Xia Yingying held

"What's the matter?" Lu Ziren answered briefly.

"Please help me beat these eggs."

It was not the first time for Lu Ziren to beat eggs, so he did not make a fuss and nodded immediately.

"it is good."

The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other. Lu Ziren's hands were quick and he beat the eggs quickly.

Xia Yingying mixed the cake with egg yolk and the beaten eggs together, and finally poured it into the steamer to steam it. The remaining part was used to make egg cake.

Since most people came to buy steamed cakes today, I made more steamed cakes and only a little egg cake.

After beating the eggs, Lu Ziren had nothing else to do, so he helped Xia Yingying add firewood.

"Business is good today?"

A lot of pastries were made yesterday. Lu Ziren originally thought that he would not be able to sell them all, but he did not expect that so many were not enough today, and he had to come back to make new ones. He must have been doing very good business.

Xia Yingying was sitting next to the stove, and because she was busy, sweat kept streaming down her face.

Xia Yingying didn't have time to wipe the sweat with a handkerchief, so she had to raise her sleeve and wipe it gently on her face. However, she didn't expect that her sleeve just touched the edge of the pot and some ash stuck to it.

The dirty edge of his sleeves melted the sweat on his face, leaving black and gray streaks on his fair face. He looked like a little cat stealing food, which was a bit funny.

Lu Ziren took the initiative to step forward and stood in front of Xia Yingying. Xia Yingying looked up in surprise.

Lu Ziren said softly in a gentle voice, "Don't move, your face is dirty."

Xia Yingying felt like her body was frozen and her head seemed to be soaked in water, making a buzzing sound.

Lu Ziren's fingertips were rough and had thin calluses, which scratched Xia Yingying's face, making it feel itchy.

Lu Ziren was very close to Xia Yingying, his breath was gently and hot on Xia Yingying's neck, as if it was burning instantly.

Xia Yingying's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's butt.

She didn't dare to look up at Lu Ziren, so she had to clench her fingers.

Why isn't it better yet?

Xia Yingying's face was very soft, so soft that he didn't want to let his fingers leave it. Maybe his hands were too rough and Xia Yingying's face was too tender. The black line was wiped clean, but a red mark was left, which was particularly conspicuous.

Lu Ziren retracted his fingers. The fingers that had rubbed Xia Yingying's face felt like they were burning...

Xia Yingying is so busy and hard-working that Lu Ziren feels bad.

These days he can be said to be living off his wife at home.

How could he, a man of great ability, let a weak woman support him?

Although he doesn't care who earns more money in the family, he doesn't like the current situation.

If a grown man can't even support his woman and children, then he is a complete waste.

How could a young man with hands and feet like him be so lacking in ambition and always living off others? He despised such behavior and did not want to become such a person.

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, I will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow and give you all the money I earn."

Xia Yingying heard it and was silent for a while.

She didn't know how to answer Lu Ziren, so she just said nothing.

Lu Ziren's idea is obviously the ancient chauvinistic thinking.

Although Xia Yingying didn't care who earned more money in the family, she also hoped that she could make more and more money. Since Lu Ziren took the initiative to propose to give the money he earned to her, there was no need for her to refuse.

The two of them are in a partnership, and now they live together, and all the food, clothing, housing and transportation depend on her alone. It is indeed very tiring, and it would be nice to have someone to share some of the burden.

She herself would not use a penny of Lu Ziren's money.

But raising a child is not just her job; it requires Lu Ziren's financial and physical and mental participation.

So Xia Yingying nodded without any hesitation.

"Okay."

Lu Ziren thought Xia Yingying would refuse and was prepared to persuade her again, but seeing that Xia Yingying agreed so readily, he didn't say much.

"By the way, your pastry stand is so busy today, do you need me to go over there and help you later?"

Lu Ziren wasn't just asking out of politeness; he really wanted to go.

He is now Xia Yingying's man in name only, and he has to protect her and help her.

Even if Lu Ziren didn't say he wanted to help, Xia Yingying would let him go.

The stall is doing very good business now, with so many customers queuing up to buy cakes. It's just her, Song Ru and Lu Haojie who are busy. No one knows when they will be able to sell well. With one more person to help, the pressure will be relieved a lot instantly. She nodded.

Lu Ziren changed into his daily clothes and prepared to go to the stall with Xia Yingying in a while.

Xia Yingying put all the prepared cakes in the backpack.

The basket was also full, but there was still some that was not cooked in the pot.

Lu Ziren carried the backpack, Xia Yingying carried the bamboo basket, locked the door and went to the market.

There were fewer people in front of the stall, but the line was still very long, like a giant dragon.

Xia Yingying placed the finished pastries in front of the stall.

He returned the empty backpack and basket to Lu Ziren.

Because business was so good today, Xia Yingying, Song Ruyi and Lu Ziren didn't have time to eat lunch.

Xia Yingying bought a bowl of braised noodles for Lu Haojie before letting him come over to help with the work.

Soon, Xia Yingying's pastries were almost sold out, but the queue continued to grow.

Xia Yingying had no choice but to go back to the kitchen to make pastries. Lu Ziren was also taken back by her to beat eggs. In this way, Xia Yingying, Lu Ziren and Song Ruyi sold pastries all day long. It was not until the evening that only a few pastries were left. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great, everything is sold out, we made a lot of money today."

Xia Yingying's heart and eyes were filled with money, and she no longer felt unhappy about being maliciously occupied and suppressed by Li Cuihua.

However, Song Ruyi and Lu Haojie still remember it.

"Humph, Li Cuihua doesn't even look at who she is, or even take a piss and look at herself.

How can such a terrible pastry be compared with Yingying's? You are trying to compete with Yingying, isn't this courting death? Pah."

"Yes, Dad, this Li Cuihua is so abominable. She was the one who sold my younger sister and framed Mom. She also borrowed a lot of money from our family and hasn't paid it back yet. Today, she even challenged Mom to a cake-making competition. Dad, you must not let such a bad person go. You must punish her severely, especially you must get back the money she owes Mom."

Lu Haojie talked about all the crimes that Li Cuihua had committed. When he mentioned money, he gnashed his teeth and seemed to want to tear Li Cuihua in half.

Lu Ziren frowned.

He had just returned and if Lu Haojie hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten the existence of Li Cuihua, the clown.

Thinking that Ah Rou was almost sold out and would never come back, Lu Ziren felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife.

"Well. Don't worry. I won't let her go." Lu Ziren clenched his fists and his eyes became very deep.
