I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

next day

I picked up a lot of shells yesterday. When Bai Qingyao got home, she picked out all the big and beautiful ones.

Those small ones with holes were temporarily piled together and cleaned thoroughly.

After washing, she hung them directly in the yard to dry. Before that, her father made a storage rack with wood, which could hold items on each layer. It was very convenient and saved space.

After doing all this, I turned around and saw the three little ones standing there with their eyes wide open.

"Ah Xuan, A Jing, A Huai, why are you all standing there? Why don't you come over?"

Hearing Bai Qingyao's voice, the three little ones ran over.

"Aniang~"

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

The three little ones didn't say anything, but just stared at her.

In the end, Gu Zejing couldn't help it and stepped forward and spoke.

"Mother, do you like your sister more than us?"

They all saw how gentle Bai Qingyao was to Cuicui yesterday.

"Of course not. You are my children. How could I like someone else more?"

"Mother is so kind to Cuicui because Cuicui has no mother. So Mother treats her better out of pity and love for Cuicui.

But this kind of love will never surpass yours."

The three little ones have always felt insecure. Even though he has been staying by their side all this time, the damage caused by his previous incarnation still exists, and they are still worried about gains and losses.

Just like a few days ago, Axuan kept asking her whether she would leave, which was also because of her inner lack of security.

"So, don't worry about it anymore, okay?"

It is normal for them to worry that A Niang will share her love with others, after all, she is still a child.

But she still had to explain the situation to them.

"understood."

"Well, since you're awake, come over and wash your faces. We'll have breakfast soon."

The three little ones walked over in order and went to the sink to wash their faces.

After breakfast, Bai Qingyao took out the shell ornaments and shell toys that she had made overnight, and added them to the jewelry she had made earlier, and prepared to go to town.

"Auntie."

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Gu Zexuan walking towards me.

"Ah Xuan, what's wrong?"

"Mother, this is for you."

Gu Zexuan took out something from his arms, which was a very ancient box. Bai Qingyao recognized it at a glance. It was the gift that Daimao had given them before.

"Isn't this a greeting gift from the senior?"

Gu Zexuan nodded and said, "For my mother."

Seeing that he was holding out his hand, Bai Qingyao took it.

As soon as I opened the box, I saw what was inside.

A pink pearl the size of a pearl.

!

This is a pearl from the seabed. I am afraid there is no pearl this big in this era. Mr. Hawksbill Turtle is really generous.

"Ah Xuan, this is a gift from the senior. You can keep it for yourself. Even if you don't like it, you can give it to a girl you like in the future."

Gu Zexuan shook his head and said, "Give it to Mother. I will make a lot of money in the future to support Mother and make her less hard-working."

I didn't know he had such grand ambitions.

But Bai Qingyao felt sad. Gu Zexuan's behavior made it increasingly difficult for her to let them go.

However, she would not let them go.

He held his head up stubbornly, refusing to back down.

Bai Qingyao was helpless and sighed.

"Well, I'll keep this pearl for you first. I'll make it into a pearl hairpin and give it to you later."

Gu Zexuan didn't listen to the rest of the words. He was very happy that his mother accepted his beads.

Before Bai Qingyao left, unexpectedly, the other two little ones also ran over and handed over a wooden box.

Without even looking, Bai Qingyao guessed that there should be something similar to the pink pearl in here.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you too. I'll make it into a beautiful pearl hairpin and give it to you when you get married."

The three little ones didn't understand the meaning of getting married at all. However, after hearing this, Gu Zexuan's cheeks turned a little red, but it disappeared in a flash.

After putting the three boxes away, Bai Qingyao walked out.

She had something to do in town today, and it would be inconvenient to bring the three little ones with her. Moreover, if she was busy today, she would inevitably miss something, so she didn't plan to bring them with her.

"Mother, you should go early and come back early. My brothers and I will be waiting for you."

"Okay, if you're hungry, there are some cakes made by my mother in the kitchen. You can ask your grandparents to give them to you, but..."

As she spoke, Bai Qingyao changed the subject and her gaze fell on Gu Zejing.

"Ah Jing, you are not allowed to eat too much candy in the kitchen. You can only eat one piece. Do you understand?"

Gu Zejing was feeling happy, thinking that if his mother went to town, he could secretly eat an extra piece of candy today.

I didn’t expect it…it was a bolt from the blue!

"understood."

Gu Zejing's face drooped instantly, looking listless.

Hearing this, Bai Qingyao chuckled. This little guy has been eating too much sugar recently and is about to get cavities. He must control the amount of sugar he eats.

A smile flashed across Gu Zexuan's little face, and then she took a step forward.

"Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my brothers."

"Big brother-"

Gu Zejing pouted and looked at him aggrievedly.

"Ah Jing, you've been eating too much candy lately and are about to get cavities. Do you want to stop eating candy to prevent cavities, or do you want to have one piece of candy every day?"

Hearing this, Gu Zejing, who was holding Gu Zexuan's hand, stiffened slightly.

Okay, let’s eat candy.

Gu Zehuai, who was standing aside, didn't quite understand what they were talking about. He just stared with his dark eyes, looking at this and that, and finally he even started to giggle.

"You little Ah Huai, you actually dare to laugh at me!"

Gu Zejing heard the laughter, turned around and tapped Gu Zehuai's head.

Gu Zehuai smiled and hid behind Bai Qingyao.

Bai Qingyao watched the scene happily and let them play.

By the time Bai Qingyao left home, it was already half an hour later.

She hurried to town.

I made an appointment with Sun Yunyun early this morning to go to the store to preside over the decoration.

It's a little late now, I don't know what's going on over there.

Although the store is not located in the bustling area of ​​the town, it is also located in the business district.

There are quite a few people coming and going, and most importantly, this place passes through the largest branch of the main road.

Moreover, this place is close to the residences of many wealthy people.

So when they spent five hundred taels to buy this place, they really got a great deal.

After about half an hour, we finally arrived in the town.

Looking at the shop in front of her that had already opened for business, Bai Qingyao walked in.

"Miss, this place is under construction. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

A young servant holding a wooden board came out and saw Bai Qingyao about to walk in, so he couldn't help but speak quickly.

Before the servant could continue speaking, a sharp voice was heard from behind him.

"Who dares to come here? Hurry up and go! Don't you know where this place is?"

The smile on Bai Qingyao's face faded and her gaze fell on him.

But before she could speak, someone behind her spoke for her.

"You bastard, this is your boss!"
