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

What was in front of me was nothing but oysters.

People here don't know about oysters, so the oysters on these reefs have never been mined, and all of them are plump and full.

Thinking of the taste of oysters, Bai Qingyao's already deflated stomach suddenly began to growl.

Gu Zehuai was very close to Bai Qingyao and could hear everything clearly.

He blinked curiously.

What is this? Why does she seem so happy?

Isn't it happy? Seeing the oysters, Bai Qingyao excitedly raised the small hammer in her hand. There was no special tool for prying oysters here, and this was just what she found in the corner of the house.

It looks like it can be used as is.

'哐哐——'

Bai Qingyao pried open the oyster in front of her with force, revealing the plump, white oyster meat inside. Without any tools at hand, she wiped her hands and tore the meat off directly.

Although this is not clean, it is better than just watching it. At worst, you can just wash it a few more times when you get home.

Gu Zehuai, who was standing by, smelled a strong fishy smell after the oysters were opened. He frowned and walked to Bai Qingyao with a hint of rejection in his eyes.

Noticing Gu Zehuai's resistance, Bai Qingyao quickly put the oysters in her hand into the basket and looked at him.

"Ahuai, what's wrong?"

Gu Zehuai didn't say anything, but his eyes were always on the oyster.

Bai Qingyao understood.

"Ah Huai, don't underestimate this. Even though it doesn't smell very nice, it will be delicious when made into food."

Gu Zehuai was a little conflicted, but still opened his mouth and said, "Then I'll help you."

As he spoke, he squatted down and studied the oysters on the reef in front of him very carefully.

These things are hard, can they be eaten?

Bai Qingyao had no idea what the little guy was thinking, and was prying oysters there excitedly.

The oysters here are really big, and no one has ever mined them before, so they are very dense, which really made her feel refreshed.

As a chef who is keen on finding ingredients, the oysters here are the most natural ingredients and the most delicious.

On the other side, Gu Zehuai's attention was suddenly attracted by the "little bugs" crawling on the ground.

He picked up a dead branch from the ground and just put it on the 'little bug', he saw the 'little bug' running directly under the reef nearby.

Gu Zehuai was attracted and walked to Bai Qingyao's side. Bai Qingyao, who was still prying oysters, saw this and subconsciously looked over.

"Ahuai, what's wrong?"

Gu Zehuai hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the reef not far away. Bai Qingyao looked over and saw faint traces of crawling on the ground.

"Ahuai wants this?"

Bai Qingyao reached out from under the reef nearby and took out the "little bug" that Gu Zehuai had seen earlier.

It's not a bug at all, it's clearly a small crab the size of a thumb.

There are a lot of small crabs like this on the beach, especially since people here don't eat these things, so the small crabs on the beach stay on the beach "unscrupulously".

Bai Qingyao thought about it and there seemed to be some oil left at home. Although it was not much, it could be used as a makeshift.

Moreover, they need to fill their stomachs, not only with this meal, but also for the rest of the day.

In addition, she also needs to think about how to make money in the future. Now seeing the little crabs on the ground, she has some ideas in her mind, but they are not mature and can only be regarded as concepts.

Gu Zehuai saw the small crab that Bai Qingyao handed over, with its two claws flying in the air. Although it was still small, it looked extremely energetic.

"Ahuai, this is called crab, and it's edible."

"Can you eat it?"

When he heard that it was edible, Gu Zehuai's eyes suddenly lit up.

Edible things are extremely tempting to him now.

"However, you can't eat it now. I need to process it before you can eat it."

Seeing that he was eager to try, Bai Qingyao quickly spoke again.

Gu Zehuai nodded disappointedly. He was very hungry, but he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing what he was thinking, Bai Qingyao looked at the oysters in the basket. It was almost enough for them to eat. As for the others, they would fill their stomachs first.

"Ahuai, are you hungry? Let's go back first."

Gu Zehuai glanced at her and then nodded.

Bai Qingyao picked up the backpack, which was filled with oysters. It had a slightly fishy smell, but it was still within an acceptable range. She hung the basket on her body, bent down and picked up Gu Zehuai.

Gu Zehuai was still a little uncomfortable being held. He struggled a little in Bai Qingyao's arms. When he met Bai Qingyao's gentle eyes, he was stunned for a moment and then stopped struggling.

He slowly reached out and hugged Bai Qingyao's neck, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

It turns out that mother's embrace is really not warm.

Although she had carried him here before, the feeling was different from now.

Now… he felt… warm and happy.

Noticing that Gu Zehuai's mood had clearly risen a bit, Bai Qingyao glanced at him.

However, she didn't say anything and just carried him towards home.

When they came out, the two little ones at home must have started to worry. After all, their predecessor had a lot of criminal records. Although Gu Zexuan and Gu Zejing were young, they were much more mature in handling things than the original incarnation.

The reason why she was so confident was probably because she was certain that the original body needed the money their father gave her to live, and she would not leave until she received this month's money.

However, she is not the original one.

Halfway through the walk, Bai Qingyao felt something was wrong with Gu Zehuai in her arms, and couldn't help but look up at him, "Ahuai, what's wrong?"

Gu Zehuai just lowered his head and stared at her without saying a word, but his expression was very nervous.

Especially when looking at her.

Bai Qingyao was a little confused. Why did Gu Zehuai suddenly become so nervous in just a short while?

"Bai Qingyao, why are you here?"

Before she could ask further, she suddenly heard a voice calling her name, and she subconsciously looked over.

Not far away, she saw a young man in a green robe standing there. He was wearing the roughest green cloth, but at this moment he had a condescending expression and was looking at her with disdain.

Bai Qingyao was confused for a moment. Who was this person?

Also, he didn't think he was very good-looking, did he? He even shook his head in a self-righteous manner, thinking he was a fan and could reveal flowers when he opened it?

With that face, she wouldn't even look at it if you got close to her.

The triangular eyes show that he is not a decent person. And the clothes he wears, although they are made of coarse blue cloth, which is considered good here, do not fit him at all. It is like he is wearing an adult's clothes secretly.

But he still looked at her thinking he was handsome.

Zhang Sheng didn't expect Bai Qingyao to have such an expression when she saw him. It was really a blessing for her that she dared to look at him with such an expression.
