I became a villain's stepmother and married a rough man from the mountains

Chapter 44

Wait until the evening, when the sun goes down.

Xiao Yu came back from the mountain, and still had the pile of firewood he brought from the mountain.

Xiao Yu pushed open the door, he looked at the roof subconsciously, the roof with a big hole in the morning has been re-layed with tiles, it looks the same as usual.

Su Wan, who had just boiled a pot of water, came out of the kitchen, and saw Xiao Yu who pushed open the door.

The two looked at each other.

"You're back."

Su Wan just smiled.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

"Has the roof been repaired? How much did it cost?"

"It took more than 100 texts."

"However, it is a necessity, and it cannot be avoided."

"I plan to pack up the remaining pheasant and hare meat in the next few days, and continue to sell them in the village. I should earn back soon."

Xiao Yu carried all the firewood outside into the kitchen.

The kitchen, which was originally small, is now more and more crowded due to the accumulation of wood.

"Oh, by the way, when I went to the village this time, I also specially ordered two pieces of clothes, which will be ready in about ten days and a half months. I will bring them to you, and you can see if they fit."

"There is still money left at home, can I make clothes?"

Xiao Yu looked at Su Wan.

"I paid the deposit first, and there are Wen left over. Although it's quite a lot, it's winter, so I must give it to you, and I have some clothes for the two children."

"You have to go up to the mountains to hunt every now and then, and it's so cold there. It would be bad if you froze."

"Didn't you buy it for yourself?"

"Me? I don't need it. I have a lot of clothes, so I don't need to spend this money."

"On the contrary, Xiaobai and Xiaocheng seem to have two children for almost a year, and you haven't bought them any clothes."

"It's also rare that these two children didn't complain. If it was any other child, they would have been crying."

Xiao Yu's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Both of them are sensible children."

"Well, I think so too."

Su Wan raised her head and looked at the man who was busy.

"Okay, leave these things to me first. Go back to your room and rest for a while. After a hard day, the two children haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you."

"It's almost time to wait for a while to eat."

"Whatever you want to eat today, I'll make it for you."

Su Wan said while brushing the pot.

Listening to the other party's words, Xiao Yu couldn't help raising her eyes to look at the other party.

The conversation just now made him feel like a very warm family.

The tired man returned home after a busy day outside, and his gentle wife took care of him carefully.

This feeling made him feel very comfortable.

"What to do."

Xiao Yu felt that he was a bit different now than usual, so he wanted to go out to enjoy the cold wind. As soon as he went out, he saw a ladder placed by the wall.

Su Wan was ready to start cooking at this time.

These days, she has been quite proficient in using these things.

Xiao Yu's voice came from outside the room.

"Where is this ladder?"

"Ah? I borrowed these from the next door."

"Next door? Are you talking about the old and the young?"

"Yes, it's them."

"Fortunately, they brought the ladder here, otherwise, I don't know how to go up. I originally wanted to keep them here for a meal, but they left beforehand."

Xiao Yu was a little surprised to hear the words from the people inside.

"Could it be that you went up, you went up to patch up the tiles."

"Well, you still know this?"

"I used to do this a lot at home when I was a child, and I've already gotten used to it."

"Really……"

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.

Not long after, he returned to the room. At this time, the two children, Xiao Bai and Xiao Chen, were sitting and playing together. After seeing the man coming back, Xiao Cheng rushed forward very enthusiastically.

"Daddy, I miss you so much~"

Xiaocheng flung herself in the other's arms coquettishly, and Xiao Yu patted the child's back lightly, with a very gentle tone.

"What's wrong."

"Daddy almost won't see Xiaocheng today."

Xiao Cheng stared at Xiao Yu with wide eyes.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.

"Could it be that something else happened while Dad was away?"

Xiaocheng and Xiaobai described what happened that day in the following time.

"I thought my stepmother was really going to sell me."

Xiaocheng said with some fear.

A gleam of color flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.

"So that's what happened."

He muttered to himself.

"Huh? Daddy, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing."

"Don't worry, Xiaocheng, that's grandma joking with you."

"Then dad, do you think the stepmother will sell us in the future?"

Xiao Cheng raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu, you don't know how to answer.

If it was in the past, he would of course know what the woman was going to do, but now he is a little hesitant.

Even he himself can't see clearly.

……

Four people sat and ate together.

This meal was much richer than usual, Su Wan made a dish of fried shredded pork with potatoes, a few poached eggs, and golden roasted sweet potatoes.

Xiao Yu looked at the poached eggs and was a little curious about how the other party made them.

Never seen her show such craftsmanship before, never even heard of it.

"It seems that your cooking skills have improved a lot these days."

Xiao Yu took a bite and said.

"Well, because of regular practice, the skills have naturally improved."

"But because there is no condiment, otherwise the taste will be better."

"Did you use a lot of spices to cook some dishes before?"

Xiao Yu looked at Su Wan suspiciously at this time.

Spices are not cheap, only rich and noble families dare to use them, as long as ordinary people can cook them well.

I dare not pursue the so-called taste at all.

But hearing what the woman said just now, it seems that she has already gotten used to it.

Could it be that the woman also has other secrets to hide from him?

"Um, I read all of this from the book. The book said that using a lot of seasoning can increase the taste, so I just said that casually."

Su Wan felt that we were a little suspicious, so she quickly made up a reason.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

"I see."

"By the way, do you know? It turns out that many people in our village suffer from big neck disease. When I first went out today, I was terrified to see that everyone had more or less some of them."

"Some kids in particular are extremely obvious."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He had known about this situation for a long time. When he first came here, he knew that there was a shortage of salt in this place, and not every household could afford it.

Over time, those people became seriously ill one by one, but the main one was a big neck disease.
