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

The three little ones are really thin now because of long-term malnutrition. They don’t take up much space on the ox cart.

Bai Qingyao placed the backpack on a corner of the ox cart, then held Gu Zehuai in her arms and sat next to Gu Zexuan and Gu Zejing.

Uncle Niu, who was driving the cart, glanced at her, opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

Gradually, the villagers of Dayuan Village also came out, but when they saw Bai Qingyao sitting on the ox cart, they all fell silent.

Halfway through the journey, a middle-aged woman was standing on the side of the road, and Uncle Niu stopped driving the ox cart.

Uncle Niu looked at her expressionlessly.

"money."

"Here, here, here. Your money is indispensable!"

When the woman heard what Uncle Niu said, her brows furrowed and she glared at him with displeasure.

He took out a copper coin from his arms and threw it directly into Uncle Niu's arms.

Uncle Niu was not angry. He picked up the copper coin and put it directly into his pocket.

When passing by Bai Qingyao and her three children, he glared at them fiercely.

Then she sat in the empty seat on the ox cart, but unexpectedly, she was not satisfied with the original space and actually squeezed towards Gu Zexuan's seat.

Gu Zexuan had no choice but to lean towards Bai Qingyao.

The woman snorted coldly, "Little bastard."

"What did you say?"

Hearing her voice, Bai Qingyao's brows turned slightly cold. She raised her hand and asked Gu Zexuan to go to her other side, while she sat next to the old woman.

"He's just a little bastard, and you're such an ungrateful bastard!"

"The Zhang family treated you so well, yet you turned the tables on them. What kind of ungrateful person are you?"

This old woman was none other than Widow Wang from Dayuan Village, who was on good terms with Old Lady Zhang.

At this moment, Widow Wang had a gloomy expression on her face, and she looked at Bai Qingyao as if she was looking at something dirty.

"Yeah, aren't those who blame others for their mistakes just ungrateful wolves?"

"As for you little bastard... you'd better shut up, or I can't tell you when my hands will start shaking!"

As she spoke, Bai Qingyao took out a long wooden stick from somewhere and placed it delicately across Widow Wang's neck.

It was only a millimeter away from touching Widow Wang's neck.

"You...what do you want, you little bitch?"

Widow Wang looked at the "sharp weapon" in front of her and spoke incoherently with fear.

"I...I'm telling you, killing someone means paying with your life."

Bai Qingyao sneered, murder?

She was unwilling to dirty her hands for such a person.

"Kill you? Of course I won't do it for someone like you!"

"Apologize to my son! Otherwise, don't blame me for my shaking hands!"

As she spoke, Bai Qingyao moved her hand, and the "sharp weapon" in her hand moved closer to Widow Wang's neck.

“Ahhh, murder—”

"Niu, you just watched me get bullied by this little bitch in your car?"

Seeing that Bai Qingyao had no intention of letting go, Widow Wang turned her head to Uncle Niu.

Hearing this, Uncle Niu just looked up and glanced at him calmly, "Gu family, this is still in my car, please be careful."

"Uncle Niu, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

As soon as Bai Qingyao finished speaking, Uncle Niu turned around and concentrated on driving the carriage again.

When Widow Wang saw that Uncle Niu ignored her, her face turned red with anger, but when she turned around, she saw something across her neck and couldn't help but speak in a flattering manner.

"Gu family, if you have anything to say, please talk it over nicely. Don't resort to violence..."

"Apologize to my son!"

Bai Qingyao didn't fall for her trick. She exerted a little force with her hands and pushed forward.

"Hey, hey, don't..."

"I was confused just now. No...I shouldn't have insulted your child. I lost my mind."

"Ah Xuan...Look, can you forgive grandma?"

"My grandma died a long time ago. You are not my grandma."

Gu Zexuan didn't say anything, but Gu Zejing looked at her unhappily.

Widow Wang was choked by these words, her face pale. "Yes, yes, can you forgive me?"

"The words have been spoken. Even if you apologize now, you still feel that way in your heart. We don't want such an apology!"

Gu Zexuan glanced at Widow Wang. They had heard such words many times before, but this was the first time.

This was the first time Bai Qingyao took action for them and stood up for them.

This feeling...is not bad...

"Gu family...this..."

Seeing that these little ones were not moved by any persuasion, Widow Wang could not help but turn her head cautiously and look at Bai Qingyao.

Bai Qingyao retracted her hand, her eyes cold, "Get away from me! If I hear anything that makes me unhappy from you again, don't blame me for being inconsiderate!"

Widow Wang's neck was freed, and she quickly took a few steps back, looking at Bai Qingyao as if she were a plague god.

Bai Qingyao ignored her and turned to look at the three little ones.

The ox cart had entered the town. She put on the backpack and waited for Uncle Niu to stop the car, then jumped off the cart.

Then he took the three little ones and looked at Uncle Niu, "Uncle Niu, will they still be here when we go back this afternoon?"

She had never ridden in Uncle Niu's carriage before, so she was a little confused.

"Well, come back here at 3:30 PM. But, let me be frank, we won't wait for you after this time."

"okay."

Bai Qingyao nodded and left with the three little ones.

Watching her leaving figure, Widow Wang suddenly went to the back of the carriage, ran to the front, and pointed at Uncle Niu.

"You're so good, Niu! Were you blind? Didn't you see her messing around in your car? I'm telling you, don't take her with you on the way home, or I'll have you for nothing."

When Uncle Niu heard this, he looked at her and said, "We're here, hurry down."

"you--"

Widow Wang wanted to say something, but everyone on the ox cart got off, so she hurried down too. Before she could say anything, Uncle Niu drove away.

Widow Wang was left alone, cursing.

"What a heartless thing! A slut, and she really treats that little bastard as her own son? Why hasn't she been so enthusiastic before..."

Her voice drifted far away, and the people around her turned to look at her when they heard it.

"What are you looking at!"

Widow Wang noticed the gazes around her and glared at them fiercely with her triangular eyes.

The passersby quickly looked away and continued with their own work.

On the other side, Bai Qingyao took the three little ones to the busiest street and put down the basket on their backs.

"Okay, let's stay here."

Bai Qingyao took out all the things she had prepared in the morning.

As soon as she put the oysters out, a middle-aged man looked over.

"What are you selling?"

Before Bai Qingyao could speak, a voice suddenly interrupted from the side.

"Huh? Isn't this what grows on those rocks by the sea? Can you eat it?"

His home is by the sea, so he had naturally seen things on the rocks, but the ones brought by this young lady seemed to be bigger.

"Yes, this thing is not only edible, but also tastes extremely delicious."

"Is this true?" The man looked doubtful.

"Of course it's true."
