After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Xiao Zilin was holding a wooden basin at the side. Although his hands were very tired, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Xia Wanniang reached out and took the wooden basin from his hand, looking at his trembling hands with a serious face.

Xiao Zilin felt the weight on his hands disappear, and looked up to see her face: "Mom."

Xia Wanniang put the wooden basin on the ground beside her and raised her hand to rub his trembling arms: "Zilin, have you ever heard the saying, haste makes waste."

Xiao Zilin nodded: He wanted to recover the strength in his hands as soon as possible so that he could learn to read and write earlier.

Xia Wanniang rubbed his little head: "Your arm has never been able to exert force before. If you suddenly use too much force now, it will be easy for it to get hurt if it can't adapt. By then, it will be too late for you to cry."

"Mom, I know I was wrong." Xiao Zilin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

Xia Wanniang rubbed his head and said, "Sometimes, gradual progress is much better than haste."

"Mom, I'm sorry." Xiao Zilin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.

Xia Wanniang patted his shoulder and said, "There are many friends outside. Do you want to ask your brothers to go play with them?"

Xiao Zilin looked up at the people hiding outside and said, "They won't play with us."

Xia Wanniang reached out and pinched his little face: "Maybe this time it will be different."

Xiao Zilin looked at her in surprise.

Xia Wanniang called the other two children into the room and asked them the same question.

Their answers were the same as Xiao Zilin's, all of them looked listless.

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, Xia Wanniang took their hands and walked out of the courtyard: "Mom, I'll take them out to play."

Aunt Xiao poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Go ahead!"

Xia Wanniang led the three children out of the courtyard. The children outside hid and did not dare to come out: "Do you want to play a game with us?"

A little head popped out from behind the snowman, with curiosity in its big eyes, a red face, and two small snots: "What game?"

"Come back, aren't you afraid of being cursed?" A pair of small hands pulled him back from behind the snowman.

Another little girl with pigtails and wearing a tattered red coat said: "The village chief said that they were sick, and they are now well."

Xia Wanniang didn't say anything. She just smiled and watched the children looking at them with a confused look on their faces.

Xiao Zisen took two steps forward: "We were just sick before, but now we are cured."

Xiao Zilin looked at his brother and said, "If we were really cursed, how could we be alive today?"

The boy with two runny noses nodded: "I think so too."

Another boy smiled with a missing tooth: "What game are you going to play with us?"

Xia Wanniang looked at the group of children and asked with a smile: "How many of you are there?"

All the children who had been hiding came out. There were six of them in total, plus the four people on their side, making exactly ten people.

Xia Wanniang smiled and said, considering that she was an adult, "Let's play snowballs. The six of you will form a team, and I will form a team with my three children. If you win, I will make you something delicious."

The six children's eyes lit up: "Delicious?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "Yes, it's delicious."

"Okay, tell me how to compare."

Xia Wanniang briefly explained the rules. The road was the boundary, and each of them was a boundary. Whoever got the cloth strip from the opposite snowman first would be the winner.

Lai Fu ran out from somewhere, attracting the attention of six children.

Xia Wanniang introduced them: "This is our Lai Fu." Then she looked at Lai Fu and said: "Lai Fu, say hello to the children."

Lai Fu straightened up his little body, clasped his hands together and bowed to the six children as a greeting to them.

The six children had never seen such a clever little fox before and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

The little girl with pigtails looked at it and wanted to touch it: "Can I touch it?"

Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "You should ask its opinion. If it wants you to, you can touch it. If it doesn't want you to, you can't reach out, or it will attack you."

The pigtailed girl's eyes were full of sincerity: "Is it okay?"

Lai Fu didn't move, but just tilted his head and looked at the girl in front of him with an expectant look.
