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

The original owner had no outstanding skills, and was just a livelier person waiting to die.

Xia Yingying is an elementary school teacher with two years of work experience in modern times, but she is illiterate here, so this path is not feasible.

In addition to being an elementary school teacher, she is also a food blogger. In her spare time, she studies recipes and posts cooking tutorials online, accumulating a lot of fans. She also takes on some advertisements and earns some money.

Food is the most important thing for people. No matter which dynasty, delicious food is always the first choice for making money.

You can set up a snack stand or sell recipes, and you can always survive.

However, even setting up a snack stall would require costs, and she was penniless now, so a snack stall was just a castle in the air.

In addition, the original owner had a very bad character. Excluding Li Cuihua, her fake friend, she had almost no friends. Even if she wanted to borrow money, she couldn't find anyone to borrow from.

Xia Yingying sighed, the original owner was so pathetic.

"Silver, I want silver."

No matter where you are, you can't move forward without money.

Xia Yingying searched the original owner's memory about the silver, trying to see if there was any money hidden secretly or lent out, and she actually found it.

When Lu Ziren left, he left 50 taels of silver to the original owner, and also paid 15 taels of silver to the private school where Lu Haoran studied. Later, when the news of Lu Ziren's death came, the original owner did not allow Lu Haoran to go to the private school, and the private school returned 8 taels of silver. Together with the 10 taels of silver in the original owner's hand, the original owner had a total of 68 taels.

Here, one penny can buy a steamed bun, and two pennies can buy another steamed bun. Usually, a village family can live a comfortable life with five taels of silver a year.

How did the original owner manage to keep the huge sum of sixty-eight taels of silver without a penny left in just half a year?

It turned out that after Lu Ziren left, the original owner took a huge sum of money to Wanbaozhai in the town to buy jewelry, clothes, rouge and powder, spending a lot of money. Li Cuihua also went there, but said that she didn't bring any money, so the original owner paid for it, which meant that more than twenty taels of silver were gone.

Li Cuihua said she would return it, but it was just words.

In addition to clothes and jewelry, he also had several meals at Tianxiang Tower and spent more than ten taels of silver.

Li Cuihua borrowed five taels of silver, and when her father Xia Zhong came to ask for the money, she gave him ten taels.

In addition, Xia Yingying ate well in the past six months, with eggs and meat for every meal. She had no income, so she just spent all her money on eating and drinking.

Yingying counted carefully and found that Li Cuihua had a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Now she and Li Cuihua have fallen out, and there is no point in associating them. Besides, Li Cuihua is not someone worth making close friends with, so she has to get the money back as soon as possible.

But the matter of asking for money can be delayed. She remembered that Li Cuihua told the original owner that she saved fifteen taels of dowry. Xia Yingying seriously suspected that this was the money Li Cuihua took from the original owner. Li Cuihua was a bit difficult to deal with. The money would not be returned to her all at once. She had to take it slowly.

The most urgent thing is to solve the problem of food first. She has to find something to eat and fill her stomach. She has to go to the mountain tomorrow.

Xia Yingying was awakened by the sunlight shining into the house. After getting up and washing, she put on her worn-out clothes, took a water bag, and took a backpack and a bamboo basket from the woodshed and prepared to go out.

The children's room was closed tightly, and Xia Yingying thought the children were still sleeping.

But the house is full of children, so she still has to tell them when she goes out.

She knocked gently on Lu Yuwei's door. After a while, the door opened and Lu Haojie came out.

"Where is your sister?" Xia Yingying poked her head into the room, but did not see Lu Yuwei in the room. Lu Yuruo was sleeping on the bed, and Lu Haojie was standing in front of her, neatly dressed and shivering.

"Stepmother, my second sister went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and my eldest brother went fishing. I didn't slack off. I took care of my younger sister." Lu Haojie finished speaking stutteringly, lowered his head, and did not dare to look into Xia Yingying's eyes.

Xia Yingying frowned, nodded and said, "I understand. Take good care of your sister. Close the door."

"Okay, stepmother." Lu Haojie originally thought that Xia Yingying would blame him, saying that he was lazy and didn't work, and gave him a meal of corn noodles.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yingying left after asking, which was completely different from before.

Second sister is right, stepmother is a little strange. But when stepmother is not angry, her voice is really gentle, is mother's voice like this too?

Xia Yingying went out and headed for the mountains. The village was surrounded by fields, and wild vegetables grew on the ridges, but there were few of them. Some families would not let others pick wild vegetables. If you picked them, you would be scolded.

Xia Yingying walked in the mountains for most of the day and saw nothing. She was very confused. Aren't there a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains? Why didn't she find anything?

Xia Yingying sat under a tree to rest. She was tired after walking for so long. She drank a sip of water and looked up at the sky.

The leaves on the trees were almost gone, and the branches were full of golden persimmons. Xia Yingying immediately used a hook to pick a lot of golden persimmons. Soon, her backpack was filled to the brim.

There were still some unripe fruits on the trees. Xia Yingying silently noted their locations and waited to pick them next time. She hid the backpack in the dense grass and walked deep into the jungle carrying the basket.

She saw a tiny gray mushroom cap poking out from under a sapling and began to pull apart the nearby grass.

According to her experience in picking mushrooms, there must be big mushrooms near small mushrooms.

As a result, she really found a nest of wild mushrooms in the grass. She squatted down and put the mushrooms into the basket one by one. She only picked the big ones. Soon, the basket was full. There were also some small mushrooms. She covered them with grass, made a mark nearby, and walked back.

Xia Yingying walked for a while. According to her pace and time, she should have reached the place where persimmons could be picked. However, there were no persimmon trees around, only a familiar tombstone.

Xia Yingying calmed down, sorted out the original route, and turned back.

Under a pine tree, she saw a little girl wearing a veil. The little girl was wearing a light yellow half-new skirt and was digging something in the soil with a sickle.

"Xiao Wei." Xia Yingying called out.

Hearing the voice, Lu Yuwei looked up and saw Xia Yingying carrying a backpack and a large basket on her arm, so she said timidly, "Stepmother."

"Why are you here?" Xia Yingying frowned.

This place is deep in the forest, with poisonous snakes and fierce beasts. If she hadn't gotten lost, she wouldn't have come here. Isn't Lu Yuwei, a weak child, afraid of losing her life by coming here?

"After I picked some wild vegetables, I saw a ginseng here, so I came over to pick it." Lu Yuwei raised her sleeves, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued to dig ginseng.

The wild vegetables outside the forest were picked by Lu Yuwei every day and eaten up. She had no choice but to come into the deep forest to pick wild vegetables. Just after picking the wild vegetables, she saw a ginseng. She saw the ginseng that Dad had talked about.

Lu Yuwei put the ginseng in the basket. At this time, she heard a heavy breathing in her ear, followed by a foul smell.

Lu Yuwei's back was stiff and her face turned pale.

"Xiaowei, run." Xia Yingying shouted with a trembling voice, her body stiff, her eyes staring behind Lu Yuwei with bloodshot eyes.
