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

Xia Yingying shook her head in confusion.

It turned out that so many things happened during the time she was away from the village.

Xia Yingying stood up, took three bowls of water and placed them next to Du Shuili and Aunt Niu. She took a bowl of persimmon cakes and a bowl of roasted melon seeds from the sack and placed them on the table.

"You know, Liu Xiucai is the only scholar in our village. He can be said to be a popular guy in our village. I didn't expect that he would fall in love with a woman like Li Cuihua who is as cruel as a venomous scorpion." Du Shuili took a sip of water, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them, and told Xia Yingying about Li Cuihua.

"Um?!"

Xia Yingying was also shocked. She couldn't understand how a man as arrogant as Liu Xiucai could be interested in a woman like Li Cuihua?

The original owner had been with Liu Xiucai several times, and at that time, she brought them together in order to help Li Cuihua pursue Liu Xiucai.

Through the original owner's memory, she did not have a very good impression of Liu Xiucai.

Liu Xiucai rejected Li Cuihua directly at first, which made it very clear that his ideal wife was either a wealthy woman who could support him in his studies, or a well-educated and well-mannered lady who could accompany him. Unfortunately, Li Cuihua had neither of these qualities.

So Xia Yingying was also very confused at this time, wondering how Liu Xiucai got involved with Li Cuihua.

"This matter became known to the whole village. Wasn't Liu Xiucai's mother sick? But all the money in his family was used to support his studies. In order to earn money, he went to help the village with manual labor. Liu Xiucai basically just studied at home, and he worked himself to death. Li Cuihua took the opportunity to send him medicine and slept in the same bed with him when he was confused. Liu Xiucai's mother and Li Cuihua's mother saw it with their own eyes. In the end, Li Cuihua's reputation was ruined. Liu Xiucai had no choice but to agree to marry Li Cuihua."

Du Shuili recounted what had happened.

Xia Yingying was stunned. She raised her bowl and drank a sip of water to calm herself down.

Ok?

This familiar routine, this familiar formula, wasn't it the means that the original owner used to take down Lu Ziren? How come Li Cuihua also used this trick on Liu Xiucai?

Didn't she want to slowly develop feelings for Liu Xiucai? Was she doing this now because she couldn't wait any longer?

"That Mr. Liu is really miserable. It's just that Li Cuihua didn't take advantage of him. Oh, what a sin."

Aunt Niu and Du Shuili felt sorry for the unfortunate scholar Liu.

"They're getting married in a few days, and they're in such a rush. I don't know what they're in such a hurry for."

Xia Yingying nodded, even feeling a little excited.

"Oh, by the way, Wang Dachui heard that Li Cuihua was going to get married, and he went to her house specially. However, he was kicked out by Li Cuihua. Wang Dachui was so angry that he shouted in the village that Li Cuihua and he were having an affair, that she had long been unclean, and that Liu Xiucai had been cuckolded for no reason. Now the rumors are everywhere in the village, and no one knows whether Li Cuihua and Liu Xiucai can still get married."

"Yes, I never knew that Wang Dachui and Li Cuihua had such an affair, and I don't know whether this marriage can be concluded. But Liu Xiucai has not sent anyone to cancel the engagement. Wang Dachui encountered something this morning. I heard that he is sick and can't get out of bed now."

Du Shuili was enjoying the fun and spoke seriously.

Mr. Liu is definitely unwilling to marry Li Cuihua. He must want to break off the engagement with Li Cuihua, but there is no suitable opportunity at the moment.

As the saying goes, catch a thief and seize the stolen goods; catch a cheating couple and seize their partners.

If Mr. Liu really wants to break off the engagement with Li Cuihua, he needs to find evidence that they are still in contact. Otherwise, if he breaks off the engagement for no reason, it will affect his exam results.

At that time, Liu Xiucai agreed to marry Li Cuihua probably also for the sake of his reputation.

If she gave Liu Xiucai a chance to break free from the shackles of his engagement with Li Cuihua, I wonder if he could seize it.

Two dogs fight, play off.

In the competition of interests among the three, no one is the final winner.

In this contest, except Li Cuihua, the other two disagreed.

After Song Ruyi finished boiling water for the dishes, she had nothing else to do, so she carried Lu Yurou in and sat aside to listen. She had heard about the love and hate between Xia Yingying and Li Cuihua before.

Now seeing that she was actually relying on a scholar, he couldn't help but say, "Humph, such a vicious woman actually married a Ruyi Laojun. God is really blind."

"That's not true. Mr. Liu is well-educated and very filial. He is a top-notch talent in our village. I didn't expect that he would be contaminated by a piece of cow dung like Li Cuihua." Du Shuili couldn't help but agree.

Xia Yingying didn't think so. In their village, Liu Xiucai could only be said to have slightly better academic performance. Scholars were indeed rare in the village, but that didn't mean he was someone worthy of trust.

But compared with Li Cuihua, Liu Xiucai is indeed like a flower stuck in cow dung.

As they chatted, a long time passed and it was already evening.

Lu Ziren and Lu Haojie both came back, both carrying bows and arrows, Lu Ziren holding four pheasants and eight rabbits, and Lu Haojie holding six bamboo rats.

Aunt Niu saw that Lu Ziren had a good harvest and couldn't help but praise him: "Ziren is really capable. He was able to hunt so many good things in the mountains. Unlike my husband, he couldn't even find a single chicken feather."

"Yes." Du Shuili was also very envious.

Xia Yingying gave one bamboo rat to Aunt Niu and one to Du Shuili.

"Yingying, you keep it for yourselves and sell it at the market in a few days." Du Shuili's Aunt Niu refused.

"Aren't there some here? Bamboo rats get thin when they are hungry." Xia Yingying pointed at the two bamboo rats in Lu Haojie's cage.

Seeing that Xia Yingying insisted, they could no longer refuse and had to accept it.

Xia Yingying took some of the persimmon cakes that she had dried earlier and gave them back.

This made Du Shuili and Aunt Niu feel a little embarrassed.

They clearly went to talk to Xia Yingying and only brought some cheap vegetables with them. Unexpectedly, when they returned, they brought back two plump bamboo rats, which were not cheap at the market.

After Du Shuili and Aunt Niu left, Xia Yingying started cooking.

The vegetables grown at home were ready to be eaten, but Aunt Niu and Du Shuili sent two baskets of vegetables, as well as some pickled vegetables they had made themselves. Xia Yingying decided to eat what they sent first.

Aunt Niu Du Shuili brought small cabbage roots, small melons, a few white and tender radishes, as well as sauerkraut and turnips.

Xia Yingying decided to cook some Chinese cabbage soup, stir-fry the small melon and bacon, and stir-fry the water radish with onions, which was very delicious.

Today she particularly wanted to eat fried eggs, so she decided to fry some to satisfy her craving.

Among the rabbits Lu Ziren brought back, one was injured and almost dying.

Xia Yingying decided to eat the rabbit first and make a diving rabbit.

The bamboo rat can be eaten first. The hungrier the bamboo rat is, the thinner it will be. It is the fattest to eat it now, so we decided to make a dry pot bamboo rat.

The rabbits and bamboo rats were slaughtered by Lu Ziren.

Lu Haojie watched Lu Ziren's actions intently from the side.

Now that there are more people in my family, even if we cook more dishes, they can all be eaten up and there will be no waste at all.

When Xia Yingying finished cooking the last dish of soup, Qin Qingfeng also came back with the herbs.

Following Qin Qingfeng was a man with scars all over his face.
