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

Xia Yingying handed over the plate of pastries. Song Ruyi put down her needlework and wiped her hands, then took a pastry from the plate and put it into her mouth somewhat nervously.

Her face was full of expression and her eyes were full of shock: "The cakes you make are really delicious, better than the cakes sold in town. I believe you will make money."

Xia Yingying was very happy to hear Song Ruyi's exaggerated words, and her face flushed slightly.

"Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you say, but since you said it's delicious, I'll go sell it tomorrow."

Xia Yingying told Song Ruyi about her plan to sell cakes.

"Tomorrow?" Song Ruyi was obviously confused.

"Yes, tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I will take a bullock cart to the market to sell them. There may not be so many people because tomorrow is not a market day."

Xia Yingying was obviously not so confident about the time to sell cakes tomorrow.

She had originally planned to buy it during market hours, as it would be easier to sell on that day when there were many people around. But now the money in her wallet was dwindling, and she was becoming more and more panicked, fearing that one accident would leave her penniless.

Having money can give her a sense of security, and security is something you have to fight for yourself, and the only way to fight for security is to do it.

So she started her business excitedly.

But she wasn't rushing in without a plan.

She had already decided to sell it at the market in the morning and go to the nearby villages to sell it at noon.

Some villages in Qingshui Town are very close to each other and the distance between them is not far. Two or three villages can sell all the two pots of cakes.

"Yingying, you should sell the cakes now. Your family is short of money, and I happen to be at your house, so I can help you a little more. So I have nothing to do at home, so I sell them on the same day. Although the weather is cool now, these things can be stored for a long time, but every store sells ready-made cakes, don't you think?"

Song Ruyi's words reminded Xia Yingying that she almost got into big trouble.

People in the village like to eat fresh food. Since her pastries are made on the same day, she can think about this idea to make them different from those in the town.

She didn't know whether the pastries in town were made first.

But hers was made on the same day, so I think it could win some reputation.

"Then I'll go get a backpack and carry the cakes to sell to the nearby village chief."

"I'll go with you." Song Ruyi put down the clothes she was sewing and patted the scraps of cloth on her skirt.

"Mom, no need. I can go by myself. The children at home still need your help to take care of them."

Xia Yingying refused, saying that it was fine for her to go out alone as she had children at home.

"That's fine, you can take the child out with you." Song Ruyi suggested.

"I'll ask them later if they want to go with me." Xia Yingying laughed dryly.

She knew that she was not close to these children and had a reputation as a vicious stepmother.

All she has to do now is to do her job, and the favorability value has nothing to do with her.

The most important thing is that she has no idea whose favorability it is. Winning favorability depends entirely on luck. She is now in a state of lying flat.

Xia Yingying went out to look for the backpack, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Could it have been stolen?

That’s not right. She was using it to store persimmons a few days ago. How could it suddenly disappear?

Xia Yingying saw Lu Yuwei feeding the chickens, so she asked Lu Yuwei: "Did you see the backpack?"

Backpack? Didn’t my eldest brother use it to carry firewood?

By the way, when the eldest brother and the younger brother left, they told her to tell her stepmother, but she later forgot...

What does the stepmother want to do with the basket? Will she beat my eldest brother...

"Stepmother, the backpack was taken away by my eldest brother to carry firewood." Lu Yuwei's voice trembled a little.

Carrying firewood, hmm, not bad, Lu Haoran has a keen eye.

The firewood at home is running out.

It's time to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

But how much firewood can Lu Haoran carry with his small arms and thin legs?

Now that the backpack is gone, how can she carry the cakes to sell? Xia Yingying looked at the pile of farm tools and saw a large bamboo basket. She took the basket to the well, washed off the dust on it, and then went back to the kitchen to put all the cakes in it.

Lu Yuwei looked at her busy figure, gritted her teeth, followed her in, and helped make the pastries.

When Xia Yingying saw Lu Yuwei, she remembered Song Ruyi's words: "By the way, I'm going to the next village to sell cakes later. Do you want to come with me?"

Lu Yuwei was stunned. She didn't know why her stepmother called her, but she nodded quickly.

Ever since Xia Yingying saved her from the wild boar last time, she had a vague feeling in her heart that Xia Yingying would not hurt her.

Seeing that Lu Yuwei agreed, Xia Yingying asked her to change her clothes and left immediately.

Xia Yingying placed the pastries in a basket lined with gauze and covered it with a small piece of gauze.

She filled a bag of water with a water bag. It was inconvenient to drink water outside. Although she could go to the villagers' homes to ask for water and the villagers would not refuse, she was embarrassed.

In order to avoid having to pay more, she specially packed a small bag of copper coins and took an empty large purse to hold the money from selling cakes.

After doing all this, Xia Yingying took a bamboo hat and put it on her head. Lu Yuwei changed into clean clothes and also put on a bamboo hat and veil, and the two of them went out one after the other.

Xia Yingying and Lu Yuwei went to Xinghua Village first.

When Lu Yuwei heard the word Xinghua Village, her face turned pale. She remembered that this was the village where Arou was sold. Her fear of Xia Yingying boiled over again, and she unconsciously distanced herself from Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying came to Xinghua Village simply because she had a sudden inspiration.

Xinghua Village is a famous large village in Qingshui Town. There are many families in the village, and the family conditions are also quite good.

Xia Yingying made a basket of cakes today. It wasn't a lot. If the cakes sold well, she would only need to stay in Xinghua Village to sell them all, and she wouldn't need to visit more villages.

Although it was a cool autumn day, the afternoon sun was still quite strong. Xia Yingying and Lu Yuwei walked all the way, switching the basket in her left and right hands. Xia Yingying's back was already wet with sweat.

Xia Yingying walked to Xinghua Village and sat under a big rock. Since she was not far away, Xia Yingying took out the water bag, took a sip of water, wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief and handed the water to Lu Yuwei. Lu Yuwei's throat was smoking with thirst at the moment, so she didn't care about anything else and took the water and drank it.

Xia Yingying had almost finished her rest, so she said to Lu Yuwei, "When you get into the village, we'll take turns calling people to buy cakes. What do you think?"

Lu Yuwei nodded timidly.

"Okay, stepmother, I understand."

The two men agreed on hawking their wares, and then they entered the edge of the village, hawking their wares loudly. Soon, people in the village heard the noise and came out to sell cakes.

There were more people in the village than Xia Yingying had expected, and many people came to buy cakes, but most of them were women with children.
