Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

The stone shouted, "It's a great honor for a man to defend his territory! Every boy wants to fight, right?"

He looked at Ji Wei who was practicing with him.

Ji Wei shook his head: "I just want to make money so that my mother can have enough food to eat every day."

Perhaps feeling that his explanation wasn't comprehensive enough, Ji Wei hurriedly explained, "I also need to repay Uncle Lin's family for their kindness!"

He looked at Bai Sui'an cautiously, and Bai Sui'an smiled back at him, indicating that she had no requirements on whether Ji Wei could repay her.

After all, helping Ji Wei was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and he hadn't considered the future harvest. His family wasn't in such a difficult situation that he needed help from others.

For now, the family's future looks bright.

Shitou didn't get the answer he wanted from Ji Wei, so he turned to Goudan and said, "Brother Goudan, what about you?"

After studying for a few days, Goudan became much more calm.

When Shitou asked Ji Wei, he had already thought of the answer.

He said, "I have many children at home, and my uncle and aunt are busy every day and can't necessarily make sure everyone in the family has enough to eat. I'd better find a job to earn more money."

Seeing Shitou's mouth lowered, Goudan said again:

"It's not necessarily the people who go to the battlefield who are impressive. The food and fodder used in the war are all grown by ordinary families like us. I make sure my family has enough food to eat, so they will have more strength to farm. In the future, your soldiers won't go to the battlefield hungry."

Shitou felt a lot better after hearing that the older brother always had words to coax his younger brother. However, he was still a little anxious because his ideas were not recognized by others.

Lin Rongkang was still young, and he felt he couldn't ask the answer, so he wanted to ask Ye Lingche.

As soon as his gaze drifted over, Lin Rongkang, who was next to Ye Lingche, couldn't wait to speak:

"As for me! I think fighting is awesome! When my mom fights, she knocks people down with a whoosh. It's so awesome! But I don't want to go to war. If I get knocked down outside, I won't be able to find my parents and cry."

Although the child is young, his words make sense, and the two adults were left in a state of amusement and confusion.

Ye Lingche held Lin Rongkang on his lap and asked, "Why are you crying even though you've already fought a war?"

Lin Rongkang glared and replied, "It would hurt, right? Of course I want to cry!"

Shitou's face flushed. "No, that's not right! A man shouldn't cry!"

Bai Sui'an stepped forward and rubbed his head, saying, "But brother Kang Kang is still young and not yet a man. Wait until he has cried enough, then we will let him be a man. Shitou, don't be angry yet."

"I'm not angry," Shitou said with a flat mouth. "How could anyone not want to defend their country?"

"Yes, why wouldn't anyone want to defend their country?" Bai Sui'an repeated.

Ye Lingche then continued, "There are many ways to defend our country. Growing crops well, as Goudan said, is one way. Living a good life and using your spare time to send clothes and food to the front lines is another. As long as your heart is good, even if you're not on the battlefield, you can still help the soldiers on the front lines."

"But if everyone did this, there would be no one to fight."

"The war was fought because someone invaded our territory, so the imperial court recruited soldiers to fight. But now our country has won the war, and there will be no more wars in the short term. The soldiers can also take turns going back to visit their families." Ye Lingche explained.

Shitou had heard in the village that the war outside was over, but his father had never written back or returned home. Only the silver he received every month proved that his father was still outside.

He said gloomily, "Then why doesn't my father come back? Does he no longer want me and grandpa, or is it because there are too many soldiers and it's not his turn to go home?"

Ye Lingche soothed him, "As long as the government hasn't issued a written notice, it proves he's still alive. He'll come back to see you once he's alive and well. Don't worry, practice martial arts and learn to read well first. When your father comes back and sees how powerful you are, he'll be very happy."

The sun was about to hide its light, so Shitou and Goudan left together.

Mullin also finished everything he could do.

When Zhuying saw him off, he once again reminded Bai Sui'an to remember to call him to observe Ye Lingchi's operation.

Bai Sui'an still couldn't give him a definite answer. The old man could also sense some clues and could only feel regretful.

The couple was busy together in the kitchen. Ye Lingche patiently let Bai Sui'an prepare dinner with him step by step.

Now that the children were not around, Bai Sui'an could talk about other things.

"Today, a distinguished guest came to Feiyun Department Store and asked me to detoxify him."

Ye Lingche frowned. "I didn't expect those bad guys to have infiltrated my shop? A Yan and the others must have silenced me, right?"

"No, Uncle Cheng kept the guests here to entertain them."

Bai Sui'an recounted everything that happened during his interactions with the fox.

Ye Lingche's expression has always been not very good.

When he heard the name, he felt it sounded familiar.

After Bai Sui'an finished telling the story, he whispered the word "Zihu".

It seems like he is savoring it, and it also seems like he is reminiscing about it.

He felt that the name alone was too monotonous.

Add a surname, for example, his surname, that is - Ye Zihu.

Ye Lingche's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked, "Doesn't that fox kid look quite old?"

Bai Sui'an nodded.

Combining the information Zhuying brought yesterday, Ye Lingche confirmed: "That man is my father. I'm afraid my great uncle said something to him, so he came here now."

"Emperor?" Bai Sui'an exclaimed.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense, otherwise why are there so many more spies in town today.

"What is he here for?"

If the emperor just came to her to detoxify her, Bai Sui'an believed that he would not come in person.

Ye Lingche had never been able to understand his father's thoughts since he was a child, and now he couldn't guess what Ye Zihu's purpose was.

The emperor is not in the palace, so what could be worth him sneaking out for?

He thought of a possibility: "She must have known that my brother is here and wanted to take both him and Rong Le away."

After all, they are all the emperor's bloodline.

Bai Sui'an closed his eyes and thought, Yu Gong, the current situation in the palace is not suitable for the children to go back.

Personally, she couldn't bear to let her child go.

"I should have known not to help him detoxify." Bai Sui'an opened his eyes in annoyance and chopped the ribs on the chopping board hard to vent his displeasure at the moment.

"It's okay, he hasn't come yet. I will help stop him when he comes." Ye Lingche said.

He can now slowly stand up, walk a few steps and argue with his father.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Do you think it's difficult to find someone to heal my brother?"

In fact, Ye Lingche had asked Zhuying privately, and Bai Sui'an did not ask him to deliver the letter, so there were no carrier pigeons flying over his house.

So writing a letter to ask for help probably doesn't exist.

Bai Sui'an didn't understand what Ye Lingche wanted to ask.

"What do you want to know?" Bai Sui'an became alert.

Ye Lingche smiled and said, "You treated my leg before, and now you're helping my brother with his eyes. But I don't know if you need to pay for all this. My family has caused you a lot of trouble. I just hope you won't be so stubborn. I'm willing to help you with anything."
