Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Not many people visit this kind of cooked food stall in the town. There is a sign next to the stall that says "45 cents each".

Ordinary people probably won’t buy it.

Now Bai Sui'an doesn't want to let the child suffer materially, so it's okay to buy a chicken for him to try.

"Are you sure you can finish it?" Bai Sui'an asked seriously.

Lin Rongkang patted his stomach. It was bulging, but the roast chicken smelled really good.

"We can finish it if we eat it together!" the little kid vowed.

Instead, Lin Yashu watched from the side and asked worriedly, "Mom, isn't this too expensive? We can also go to the mountains and catch chickens ourselves..."

The little girl didn't know the financial situation of her family and was worried about overspending.

"Mother will earn money for you to spend, that's all."

The stall was not far away, and Bai Sui'an was leading the horse and it was not convenient for him to go over and block other people's business, so before leaving, he took out a small purse and put some copper coins in it.

Bai Sui'an handed the small purse to Lin Yashu: "Mom will wait here, you take your brother to buy some roast chicken."

The little girl rubbed her purse and could feel the many copper coins inside.

"Sister, let's go!" Lin Rongkang couldn't wait any longer, so he took Lin Yashu's hand and left.

The two little ones went to the stall, and Lin Yashu stood on tiptoe to communicate with the vendor. The vendor saw that there were only two children and didn't know what he was worried about.

When the vendor looked up and saw Bai Sui'an looking at him not far away, he felt relieved. He helped to wrap the roast chicken, counted the copper coins for Lin Yashu, gave her a few instructions, and waved to the two children with a smile.

Lin Rongkang didn't feel the heat even though he was holding the hot bag. His eyes were glued to the roast chicken as he walked.

Lin Yashu was afraid that her brother would bump into someone while walking, so she held his hand carefully.

The two men were getting closer and closer to Bai Sui'an, when suddenly a man rushed out and knocked them both down.

Sitting down on the ground, Lin Rongkang quickly picked up his roast chicken. Fortunately, the chicken outside was not spoiled and could still be eaten.

But Lin Yashu was anxious because the purse she was holding in her hand was knocked away by the impact.

The little girl didn't suspect that it was stolen and immediately searched the ground for it.

Bai Sui'an, who was not far away, saw clearly that a boy of about ten years old knocked down his own child and took away the purse.

He was a petty thief with good skills, but unfortunately, he ran into Bai Sui'an.

Before he had run a few steps, Bai Sui'an swung his whip and nimbly avoided several pedestrians on the roadside, letting the whip wrap around the boy's waist.

Pulled back, the boy fell to the ground unexpectedly.

Only then did Lin Yashu see that the boy was holding the purse she had just thrown away!

"You bastard!" Lin Yashu stepped forward to snatch back her purse.

People gathered around as well.

The young man was shocked and frantically tried to untie the whip from his waist and leave.

"Yashu, bring him here." Bai Sui'an shouted.

After picking up the roasted chicken, Lin Rongkang ran back to his stepmother. If he hadn't seen the whip in his stepmother's hand leading a person, he wouldn't have known that someone had just stolen their things.

"go!"

The boy was a head taller than Lin Yashu, and he was very imposing. He pulled the boy out of the crowd.

Others who wanted to watch the fun were dissuaded by Bai Sui'an's eyes.

Lin Yashu held the boy's hand tightly, afraid that he would run away.

Bai Sui'an retracted the whip and asked, "Do you want me to report this to the police?"

The boy shook his head: "I didn't even steal it, don't report it to the police!"

"I can't let you go back and then you continue stealing, right?"

The boy bit his lower lip, lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Yashu turned her head and saw the boy looking aggrieved, as if he was about to cry.

She was unhappy: "Why are you crying? It was you who stole my mother's money, you are the bad guy!"

The young man choked up, "I, I didn't mean to do that. I saw that you guys didn't need any money, so I thought of stealing some to save you some money..."

After hearing this, Lin Yashu became even more unhappy: "Who said our family doesn't need money? This is my mother's hard-earned money!"

After thinking for a while and still not being able to come up with any curse words, Lin Yashu was furious and kicked the boy on the leg, shouting angrily: "Mom! Call the police!"

The young man endured the blow and suddenly knelt down in front of Bai Sui'an, with a humble attitude: "Madam, I didn't mean to steal your silver. Please let me go. I can't go to jail..."

The two children were still watching, so Bai Sui'an simply pulled the man up first.

"Answer me honestly, what's your name? Why did you come out to steal things?"

"My name is Ji Wei... I came out to steal the silver because I wanted to redeem my mother..."

"What happened?"

Ji Wei: "My father was a gambler. He pawned everything in our house but couldn't pay off his debts. Later, he sold my mother to a brothel..."

Bai Sui'an raised his eyebrows. This kind of plot seemed to be quite common.

"Where is your father now?"

"She's dead. She couldn't pay her debts a while ago, so she was beaten to death. Those people wanted to use me to pay off the debt, so I ran away. No one wanted to hire me, and I couldn't afford to redeem my mother, so I came up with the idea of robbing her..."

After hearing this, Lin Yashu was not so angry anymore.

She looked at her stepmother cautiously, remembering that she almost sold them a few days ago.

It is indeed very quick to make money by taking heads.

Bai Sui'an couldn't say she felt bad, but she could only say that everyone has their own destiny and she might not be able to help. She asked, "How much silver does it cost to redeem your mother?"

Ji Wei stretched out his hand and said, "Five hundred taels."

This figure made Bai Sui'an laugh in anger: "You know, even if you steal in Chengui Town for your entire life, you still can't collect these five hundred taels."

"What should we do then?" Ji Wei was in tears.

"First, find a way to survive, find an opportunity to stand out, and earn the five hundred taels with your own ability."

Bai Sui'an took a look at Ji Wei's clothes. The child's clothes were tattered and the patches on them had all fallen off.

The man was covered in dust and his hair was messy and spread out behind his head. Small insects could be seen crawling on it.

"Where do you live?" Bai Sui'an asked again.

Ji Wei stammered, "Street, on the side of the street."

Lin Rongkang glanced at Lin Yashu, and after confirming that his elder sister was not so angry now, he quietly pulled his stepmother's finger:

"Mom, this big brother is so pitiful."

Bai Sui'an lowered his head, smiled and asked Xiao Douding: "Then what do you want to do?"

Lin Rongkang said shyly, "I can't help you, brother. I don't have any money, but I can give you a little roast chicken."

"Would Yashu be willing to share some food with this little brother?" Bai Sui'an asked his daughter.

Lin Yashu rubbed her hands and turned her head away, saying, "Just share some. We still have food to eat at home."

Ji Wei felt warm in his heart. He looked at the roast chicken in Lin Rongkang's arms and swallowed subconsciously.

He hadn't eaten clean food in a long time.

But Bai Sui'an shrugged and said, "Let's talk about it later. Come with us first."

Ji Wei was stunned: "Let's go, where to?"

"We're not going to the police anyway, so we should just leave."

As they walked towards Feiyun Department Store, Bai Sui'an asked Ji Wei again, "How old are you this year?"

"It's eleven."

"Can you read?"

"I only went to school for one year, but I don't know many words."

"That's enough."
