Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

After Chen led her people away, Lin Yashu grabbed Bai Sui'an's clothes and looked up to ask, "Mother, what does foxy mean?"

No wonder the little girl was so quiet just now, it turned out she didn’t understand.

Lin Rongkang was also nearby. Bai Sui'an thought of a better way to explain: "This is used to insult people. It means that I used shady means to get Mr. Baili to accept Le as his student."

"Then mother is not allowed to be seen in public?" Lin Rongkang asked.

Bai Sui'an shook his head: "Of course not."

"Then she deserves to be beaten." Lin Yashu said.

Bai Sui'an smiled and said nothing. He went to the backyard to check the injuries of the rabbit raised by Lin Rongle.

There is one less person at home, and I am still a little uncomfortable.

But life must go on.

Tonight Bai Sui'an came to deliver food to Ye Lingche. After putting down the food, Bai Sui'an had no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lingche asked.

"Well, I want to ask how you made so much money hunting before?"

The candlelight illuminated half of Bai Sui'an's face and made his eyes sparkle, making him look like a little money-grubber.

Ye Lingche asked, "Have you spent all the fifty taels I gave you earlier?"

He knew that Bai Sui'an was always lavish with money, and thought it was understandable that he had spent fifty taels in the past two days.

After all, Bai Sui'an has really been contributing to this family these two days. If the money is not enough, he can give more.

Although he has no power now, he still has plenty of money, so he can talk to Bai Sui'an casually.

Ye Lingche had already planned in his mind to give Bai Sui'an one hundred taels next time, but he didn't expect that the woman in front of him was not here to ask for money.

"How could it be possible that he could spend it all? He must keep some." Bai Sui'an seemed to be blaming the other party for being careless. "Rong Le is going to school and will take the county exam next year. After he passes, in order to make it easier for him to take the exam, we have to buy a house somewhere else. That will cost money!"

It turns out it was preparation for the future.

Ye Lingche chuckled, "There's no need to prepare so early for something that hasn't even been decided yet."

"How can you be a father like that? There's more than one child in the family. Rongkang has to go to school too, and there's also Yashu. How can a little girl stay in the kitchen all day? She's also a child, she needs to learn to read and study, and she needs to dress herself up. How can you buy her gold and silver jewelry and beautiful clothes without spending any money?"

"You think long term."

Bai Sui'an glanced at him and said, "Am I wrong?"

"Yes." Ye Lingche looked at Bai Sui'an with a gentler gaze. "What you've considered are things I hadn't thought of before."

"So how did you make money hunting?"

"Feiyun Department Store helped me connect. The more complete the animal's fur, the higher the price, such as tiger and fox skins. They only accept large prey. Bring it to them whole, and they will process it and give you the silver."

Bai Sui'an was worried: "We can't always have big prey here. This way of making money is unstable."

"It's too dangerous to go into the mountains. You can find another way to make money, like helping me copy books. I copy quickly and earn more."

"Stop it." Bai Sui'an patted Ye Lingche's thigh. "I'll help you borrow it next time. I'm thinking about my job to make money now. You think about it for me first."

Ye Lingche was not polite at all. He looked at Bai Sui'an's hand on his leg and asked, "Is there anything you can do?"

Although he wasn't sure what he could do, Bai Sui'an knew what he couldn't do: "I'm a terrible cook, and I don't want to mess around. I can't do delicate work like sewing. Is there anything I can do that just requires me to give someone a beating?"

"You just said you were going to buy jewelry and clothes for Yashu, but why haven't you thought about dressing yourself up yet? What kind of girl would spend all day fighting and killing?"

Ye Lingche curled his lips and stared at Bai Sui'an's face. Every change in the other's expression was captured in his eyes. He looked dull, but full of vitality.

Seeing that he was not very smart, he couldn't help but let down his guard.

Bai Sui'an frowned: "Girls can fight and kill, but I am Yashu's mother now, and I want my daughter to grow up beautiful. Is there a problem with that?"

"Of course not. I also want Yashu to grow up to be a beautiful girl."

When their eyes met, Bai Sui'an was dazzled by the tenderness in Ye Lingche's eyes.

She turned her head away uncomfortably: "Don't interrupt me. I haven't even asked you the question yet."

Realizing that Bai Sui'an might be shy, Ye Lingche calmed down and said, "You can go work as a security guard in another family. You'll get a fixed salary every month, with food and lodging provided. You'll have a lot of free time most of the time."

Bai Sui'an immediately denied it: "No, I have to go home. There's no reason to leave you, a disabled person, at home with two children."

At this moment, Ye Lingche could understand why the children in his family started to get close to Bai Sui'an.

It is unintentional sincerity.

Every word and action expressed his concern for others. As an adult, he had already begun to soften under Bai Sui'an's words, let alone the simple-minded children?

"It's hard for you. You have to worry about the livelihood of your family. If I could move freely, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

Ye Lingche lowered his eyes, his face filled with worry.

My legs are disabled and I will never be able to stand up again. I can only stay in this small house and rely on the women and children in the family for everything.

It's really a burden.

"What's the problem? Your legs will definitely get better. But no matter how your legs and feet are, I have to find a way to make money. It's not a bad thing to have another person earning money at home."

"That's right." Ye Lingche thought for a moment and then said, "There's been unrest in various places in recent years. There's a bounty outside the government office. You can go and claim the reward."

"How big is the list? Is the reward stingy?"

"There are quite a lot of people here, and the bounty is quite generous."

Seeing Bai Sui'an's eyes shining and eager to try, Ye Lingche said, "Just find some simple rewards. The government will only provide clues to his whereabouts, and you need to investigate the rest on your own. It's hard to know what dangers you may encounter when catching him, so you have to be careful about everything when you are alone."

"I understand. I won't take risks just to make money. I have to come back to support you."

Bai Sui'an stood up and was about to leave. "I won't disturb you while you're eating. I'll get you some water to wipe your body after you finish eating."

"Wait." Ye Lingche stopped her.

"what happened?"

Bai Sui'an turned around and looked at the bewildered bearded man.

Ye Lingche touched his beard and asked, "Should I shave it off?"

When Ye Lingche first met his original body, he already had a beard, but it was not very long at that time, and his handsome face could still be seen.

But in the past two years, he has been allowed to grow, and he looks more and more like a savage.

"If you want to scrape it off, I'll get you a scraper."

"it is good."

Bai Sui'an didn't try to guess Ye Lingche's thoughts and left directly.

Ye Lingche held the slightly cold bowl of rice and reflected while eating.

There is no evidence now, so we cannot be sure that Bai Sui'an was involved in the assassination two years ago.

Thinking back to the sincere look in Bai Sui'an's eyes when he was talking with him, Ye Lingche felt a rare sweetness.

Just like what his brother said to him when he first got married -

"I raised you, and you fought on the battlefield, making great achievements. I was busy for the first half of my life. Fortunately, I met a kind girl who protected and helped me, and only then did I know what peace of mind is. You won't understand even if I talk to you, you are still young. Go and have fun by yourself. With me here, you can feel at ease."

Now that my brother is gone, after two years of confusion, I suddenly found a sense of security in Bai Sui'an.

Ye Lingche himself wanted to laugh. This was too strange. Why didn’t he feel anything in the past two years?

Is it true that someone could live under the same roof for two years without any feelings for each other, and then develop strange feelings for each other after a few days of reconnection?
