Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

After the meat was cooked, Xia Yingying took it out, scooped the water into a basin and poured it out. Lu Yuwei was watching from the side with tears in her eyes. There was still oil floating in the soup, and it tasted very fragrant. It would be a pity to just throw it away.

Seeing Lu Yuwei's painful expression, Xia Yingying explained with a smile: "This soup is very bland and tasteless. There are other vegetables at home that can be used to make soup."

Lu Yuwei's little thoughts were seen through, and she nodded with a red face.

The cooked meat was cut into pieces and stir-fried in a frying pan. The excess fat came out. Lu Yuwei looked at the pork nervously and thought, this is all oil, I hope it has to be thrown away too.

But Xia Yingying scooped oil into the oil tank, poured in the seasoning and stir-fried it, then scooped a ladle of water and poured it in, and covered the pot.

The whole kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma. Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie stared at the lid of the pot and kept swallowing their saliva.

"Yingying, your stewed meat is so delicious."

Hearing Aunt Niu's voice, Xia Yingying walked into the yard.

Aunt Niu carried a large vegetable basket, which contained a handful of green onions, four cabbages, three lettuces, three eggplants, ten eggs, half a basket of apples, and white flour buns.

"Stay for dinner." Aunt Niu handed the basket to Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying took the heavy basket.

"No need. I have cooked meat at home. Come to my vegetable garden and pick some after you finish eating." Aunt Niu waved her hand to refuse. Her family also stewed meat, but it was not as delicious as Xia Yingying's.

Xia Yingying thought of the wild persimmons she picked today and wanted to give some to Aunt Niu, but she gave up the idea as she thought that wild persimmons were sour and would not taste good if eaten directly, and could only be used to make dried fruits.

After Aunt Niu left, the braised pork had collected its juices. Xia Yingying washed the pot and prepared to stir-fry the meat slices.

Lu Yuwei stood by and watched Xia Yingying do it. Xia Yingying poured the marinated meat into the oil pan and stir-fried it. Then she put the mushrooms and other ingredients in. After the meat was out of the pan, she started to cook the wild vegetable soup.

When the soup was ready, Lu Haoran came back carrying two palm-sized fish. He smelled the aroma of meat outside the yard and was very surprised.

After putting the fish in the wooden barrel by the well, he entered the kitchen and saw Lu Yuwei and Lu Haojie staring at the dishes on the table.

"Stepmother, I caught two fish."

"Okay, Haoran, thank you for your hard work." Xia Yingying praised Lu Haoran while stir-frying the meat slices.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Haoran's dark eyes, but he hid it well. He caught more than two fish today, and sent the rest to Grandpa Niu Guolin's house at the village head, who raised sheep, in exchange for milk for his little sister.

This is the only way they can change milk.

Xia Yingying had never noticed it, but he was not always so lucky when catching fish. He had to exchange milk for his younger sister and catch fish for Xia Yingying. Sometimes he caught very few fish, so he used all the fish to exchange milk for his younger sister. At this time, Xia Yingying cursed at them and beat him severely with a stick.

Today he was not lucky, and only caught three small fish. The remaining two were sent to Grandpa Niu's home, and the other small fish was left for him by Grandpa Niu because he knew Xia Yingying would beat him.

There were two pots of meat on the dining table, emitting a fragrant aroma. Lu Haoran swallowed his saliva unconsciously and looked at Xia Yingying warily who was adding water to the pot, with a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

He pulled Lu Haojie, who was watching the meat, out, held Lu Haojie's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Where did the meat come from?"

As far as he knew, Xia Yingying was penniless now. Was she trying to sell someone out again?

"It was my stepmother who killed the wild boar." Lu Haojie said truthfully.

Xia Yingying is lazy and as lazy as a pig.

How could she, who knew how to hunt, starve with them? Did Ajie become stupid because of being bullied by that vicious woman Xia Yingying?

"It's true. My second sister saw it with her own eyes. If you don't believe it, you can ask her." Seeing that Lu Haoran didn't believe it, Lu Haojie added another sentence.

Lu Haoran was skeptical now. Lu Yuwei was more stable than Lu Haojie and would not lie in front of him.

"It's time to eat." Xia Yingying didn't know about the conversation between the two brothers outside. After washing the pot, she poured a large pot of water into it. She was smelly, so she wanted to boil water and take a good bath.

However, taking a bath here is really tiring. You have to scoop water from basins one by one, and pouring the water is also very strenuous work.

When she has money, she wants an independent bathroom so that she can save some effort when pouring water. She can't count on building a bathroom here, and when Lu Ziren comes back, she will divorce and leave.

Xia Yingying was exhausted after a day of work and could barely stand up straight. After she sat down, she distributed the steamed buns brought by Aunt Niu to the three children. The three children took the steamed buns handed over by Xia Yingying tremblingly and thanked her. After Xia Yingying distributed the buns to them, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork for each child, a piece of fried meat, and a piece of meat in the bowl. She called out to the three children: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

The three little ones then picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

The braised pork is fat but not greasy, the meat is delicious, the fried meat is tender but not dry, and has the fresh taste of mushrooms. It can be said that this meat is the most delicious the three little ones have ever eaten.

After a while, they finished the dishes that Xia Yingying picked for them. Lu Haojie ate his steamed bun while looking up at the braised pork, hoping that Xia Yingying would pick some dishes for him.

Lu Yuwei and Lu Haoran were busy eating their steamed buns. Although they wanted to eat, they didn't dare to pick up any vegetables.

Xia Yingying did not miss Lu Haojie's suggestive look. She picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to put it in Lu Haojie's bowl, but suddenly she turned the chopsticks and put it in her own bowl.

They had been eating together for a long time. The child was always afraid of her and was afraid to pick up food for him. She couldn't pick up food for the child every day, as that would be too tiring.

Lu Haoran felt very disappointed as he saw that the meat in his bowl was almost gone. He looked up at Xia Yingying, who took a bite of the braised pork and ate it with great relish. Lu Haojie couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Help yourself with whatever you want to eat." Xia Yingying said as she picked up a piece of fried meat with chopsticks.

Lu Haojie looked at the braised pork, then at Xia Yingying, and finally mustered up the courage to pick it up with his chopsticks.

But he was short, and the braised pork was placed in the middle of the dining table, out of his reach. Xia Yingying pushed the braised pork and fried meat towards the children.

Lu Haojie sat down in fear, raised his head and looked at Xia Yingying out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Xia Yingying was not angry, and thinking of what his second sister had said to him, he tried to pick up another piece of meat and quickly put it into the bowl.

It was not until he ate the third piece that Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei started to pick up some food, but the frequency was still very low.

Xia Yingying drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup, touched her round belly, and went out to see the fish Lu Haoran caught.

The black and grey fish swam happily around in the basin, and when they saw someone coming, they were startled and splashed water.

Xia Yingying thought that she could use it to make fish soup tomorrow, just to change the taste.

But she has to go to the market tomorrow to sell the mushrooms she picked and the ginseng picked by Lu Yuwei. She can't count on the persimmons.

Wild persimmons are not popular in the countryside, so it takes a lot of thought to sell them. She plans to make them into persimmon cakes and sell them.

There was no staple food at home. If Aunt Niu hadn’t brought the steamed buns today, she and her three children would only be able to eat meat.

Although the meat tastes good, her stomach can't stand eating only meat without staple food. The sesame oil and seasonings are almost gone. There are no oil lamps or candles in the house, so it's dark at night. It's not convenient for her to get up at night. Last night, she almost stepped into a pit, which scared her.

After a careful calculation, she realized that there were so many things to buy. She didn't know if the money from selling the pork today would be enough. Xia Yingying felt a sense of urgency to make money quickly.

Guessing that the three little ones had almost finished eating, she went back to the kitchen to clean up, but she heard some discussions coming from the kitchen, so Xia Yingying walked over quietly.
