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

The carriage slowly left. Bai Qingyao lowered her eyes. It was the Sun family's carriage.

The Sun family is the richest family in the town. Apart from them, there is also the Zhang family. However, the two families do not get along.

Unexpectedly, the ones who bought the oysters would be the Sun family.

However, this didn't have much impact on her.

They are all guests, no different in her eyes.

Today's sales were faster than yesterday's. Within two hours of arriving in town, all the oysters on the cart had been sold out.

"Ah Xuan, A Jing, A Huai, pack up and let's go home."

"it is good."

As soon as Bai Qingyao returned to Dayuan Village and arrived at the door of her house, she saw a sneaky figure in front of her house. From time to time, he would lie on the door and secretly look inside through the crack.

Their house is not in the center of the village, but rather close to the edge of the village. There are fewer people coming and going than at the village entrance.

The man who is sneaking around the door now is relying on this point.

When the three little ones saw that person, they subconsciously hid behind Bai Qingyao.

After spending these two days together, they have subconsciously begun to rely on Bai Qingyao.

After searching through her memory, Bai Qingyao's eyes deepened slightly. She pushed the cart to the side corner and stopped, then walked towards the sneaky figure.

"what are you doing?"

"what--"

The man suddenly heard a sound behind him and jumped up from where he was in fright.

Turning around and seeing that it was Bai Qingyao, his expression changed involuntarily. "Damn it, why are you shouting so loudly?"

"I haven't even asked you yet, what are you doing sneaking around my door?"

The man choked when he heard Bai Qingyao's words, but he quickly recovered. He raised his head and glanced at Bai Qingyao, then looked at the three little ones.

Meeting her gaze, the three little ones' eyes flashed with a fierce light.

It seems that he has a bad impression of this woman.

She raised her hand and moved the three little ones behind her. Before she could speak, she heard the woman in front of her speak again.

"What have you been doing? You took so long to come back. Don't you know I've been waiting here for a long time?"

"What are you doing here?"

Bai Qingyao did not answer her question, but asked her again.

"What for? Of course I'm here to ask you for this month's rent!"

After saying this, the woman frowned and said, "Hey, I told you you're ugly and your brain isn't working well anymore. But the place you live in now belongs to ours, so shouldn't you pay the rent? Hurry up and give me the money. I need to go back and eat!"

The woman in front of him was the eldest lady of the Gu family, the great aunt of the father of the three little ones.

The three little ones' father, Gu Yichen, passed away early. They grew up with the help of their uncle Gu in their early years. Over the years, he has also been helping their uncle Gu.

If we really talk about favors, Gu Yichen would have repaid them long ago!

"Huh! Rent? If I remember correctly, this is under Gu Yichen's name, right?"

Gu Yichen's parents died early, but this thatched cottage was actually left by his parents.

She didn't know when it became hers.

"Since it belongs to Gu Yichen, why should I rent it to you?"

In the past, Yang also used this excuse to ask the original body for money, and the original body always gave her money cautiously.

Speaking of which, the original body's personality really proves that he bullies the weak and fears the strong.

At home, he only shows off his skills to the three little ones, but when he meets some tough people, he dares not say a word.

When Yang heard Bai Qingyao's words, she looked up suddenly and asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

After saying this, she realized belatedly, "Why don't you pay me rent? I raised Gu Yichen. If you live here, you must pay me rent!"

Yang raised her hands and put them on her hips. The fat on her face trembled with her movements. At this moment, she was staring at Bai Qingyao fiercely.

"If it weren't for me, how could Gu Yichen be where he is today?"

'laugh--'

Bai Qingyao sneered. This Yang was really shameless and didn't know what shame was.

What Gu Yichen owed to his uncle Gu had already been exchanged.

When the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, Gu Lang and Yang Chunhua's son was on the conscription list. Once he went to the battlefield, his life or death was uncertain. They didn't want their sons to go to the battlefield, so they ran to Gu Yichen in tears.

In the end, Gu Yichen went to the battlefield in place of Gu Yihao, on the condition that Gu's uncle would help him take care of the three little ones.

However, over the years, there was no news from Gu Yichen, only the silver he sent back every month. Later, when they heard that the court would provide pensions for people who died, they thought that the silver he brought back every month was Gu Yichen's pension.

Over time, Gu Lang's family no longer cared about the three little ones, and even exploited the silver and money handed back by the court.

Although the original body was hateful, the two uncles of the Gu family could not forgive him.

The third little one is their nephew. When Gu Yichen left, they made a good promise to him, but now... he actually wants to come to their house to collect rent.

Bai Qingyao looked at Yang Chunhua with a slightly cold look in her eyes.

"Gu Yichen never owed you anything, but you guys did it instead. Can you really live with your conscience?"

Hearing her voice, Yang Chunhua suddenly shrank her eyes, looked up, and happened to meet Bai Qingyao's cold eyes.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What don't you owe us? We raised Gu Yichen!"

Yang Chunhua spoke with her neck stiffened. If you ignored her flickering gaze, Bai Qingyao would actually believe her current self-righteousness.

"Really? But Gu Yihao's name was clearly on the imperial roster, but it was Gu Yichen who ultimately joined the army. I wonder if 'Great Aunt' has anything to say about this?"

Bai Qingyao bit the three words "Aunt", and Yang Chunhua shuddered and looked up suddenly.

Bai Qingyao was not going to let her go. "Not to mention that this thatched cottage is under the name of my parents-in-law. They passed away early, so it was natural for them to be left to my husband."

"Why does my aunt come here to collect rent?"

"Could it be that my aunt wants to go to the village chief with me to talk to him?"

Yang Chunhua dodged guiltily, she didn't dare go to the village chief.

If she went, she would be the one who would be embarrassed in the end.

"Why can't I come over to collect the rent? Now that Ah Chen isn't back, who knows if you'll be cheating on me?"

As if to find an excuse for her behavior, Yang Chunhua raised her neck again.

"And... I-I have to save some money for Xuan and the others, right?"

"Oh! Auntie, that's not necessary. I will take good care of A-Xuan and the others."

Yang Chunhua had taken a lot of money from the original body in the past, but if she still wants to take advantage of her now, her plan will be wrong.

She is not her original self, and she will not be allowed to jump around on her head!

"By the way, Auntie, please return the money you deposited with me."

"Of course, if you don't want to pay it back, that's fine too. However, I'll be going to town quite often recently, and maybe even to the county someday."

"I heard that the imperial court is still recruiting soldiers. If I say something wrong one day and the county magistrate hears about it, oh no..."

As she spoke, Bai Qingyao covered her mouth with her hands in fear, her eyes blinking brightly. "I shouldn't be wrong, right? Don't you agree, Auntie?"

"you……"
