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

After returning home, Bai Qingyao went to see the three little ones first. Yang Chunhua's coming here just now really scared them, and now they are lying on the bed and asleep.

Bai Qingyao went in and opened the window a little for them. In this weather, the three of them were squeezed together and would soon start sweating.

After finishing all this, she quietly walked out again.

She returned to the yard and emptied the contents of the backpack. She placed the wood ears on the wooden rack in the yard and stored them after they were dried.

There is also a pheasant. The chicken coop at home has not been used for a long time. The surface is already tattered and there are many holes in it. It is obviously no longer usable.

She stood up, walked to the wall, and took a look at the chicken coop.

It can still be used after some repairs. The little pheasants in the backpack are now a little wilted and lack energy, so she has to hurry up.

I cleared the weeds next to the dilapidated chicken coop and found some unused wooden boards from the corner.

The entire frame of the chicken coop was still intact. She just cleared the weeds inside and repaired the wall next to it with some stones.

As for those templates, they are used to make the ceiling.

These days, she always felt that the weather was wet and it was about to rain from time to time.

In this case, these things are indispensable, otherwise, after a heavy rain, these little chicks will not be able to survive for long.

It took almost half an hour to finish all this. Bai Qingyao raised her hand to wipe her forehead and took the backpack from the yard.

She reached into the backpack, and saw several chicks still running back and forth. However, the space in the backpack was very small, so how could it possibly block Bai Qingyao's hand? She grabbed a chick in each hand, threw them into the chicken coop, and scattered some millet.

These grains were old grains in the house, which had been stuffed into a corner by the original owner. She accidentally found them when she was cleaning a few days ago.

It's just right for these little chicks to eat.

“Cuckoo—”

Bai Qingyao straightened up, raised her hand to lower her waist, and inadvertently lowered her head, meeting the pheasant's somewhat... pitiful gaze.

“Cuckoo—”

Seeing Bai Qingyao looking over, the pheasant instantly became energetic, not caring about its injured wings, and shouted at Bai Qingyao desperately, as if trying to call Bai Qingyao's soul back.

Seeing this, Bai Qingyao couldn't help but feel surprised.

This big pheasant is so agile.

"what are you doing?"

'Ku ...

The pheasant flapped its wings and squatted in the backpack. After a few seconds, it stood up again, raised the injured wing, and pointed to the place where it had just sat.

I saw that there was a pheasant egg there at some point.

A hint of shock flashed in Bai Qingyao's eyes.

This... pheasant, could it be that it doesn't want to be eaten and is trying hard to lay eggs for itself?

She pointed tentatively at the egg. "For me?"

"Clack!"

The pheasant stared with its two small green eyes, turned around and nodded.

Bai Qingyao:!

She said she took a hundred critical hits.

She just caught a pheasant, how could she be so smart?

Forget it.

After a moment, Bai Qingyao sighed and said, in that case, let's not keep it for now.

"Okay, but let's make it clear in advance that from now on you have to lay me one... not three eggs every day!"

There are three children in the family, and we cannot favor one over the other.

pheasant:!!!

It had tears in its eyes, but when it met Bai Qingyao's aggressive gaze, it nodded in humiliation.

As soon as I put it in the chicken coop, it ran to the corner without stopping, as if there was something scary there, and didn't even pay attention to the chicks.

"..."

Is she that scary?

"Who are you talking to?"

Bai Qingyao was thinking when a voice suddenly came from behind her. When she turned around, she saw Aunt Jiang walking towards her at some point.

"Ahem, Aunt Jiang."

Aunt Jiang nodded, looking puzzled. "Who were you talking to just now?"

"No, no one."

Bai Qingyao collected her thoughts and asked, "Aunt Jiang, why are you here at this time?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Jiang's face looked a little unhappy. "I went back to my parents' home this morning. I heard about your family's situation right after I came back. How are your three children?"

"They were given medicine and have gone to bed."

Aunt Jiang nodded.

"That old hag Yang Chunhua deserves to die. She could have harmed such a young child! It's my fault too. If I hadn't gone back this morning, I could have..."

"Aunt Jiang, this is not your fault."

Hearing her words, Bai Qingyao quickly spoke.

"It's already a big trouble for you to help me look after the three little ones. What's more, when Yang Chunhua comes, is there anyone who can stop her? She is also the grandmother of the three little ones. Who would have thought that she has such a vicious mind?"

Aunt Jiang sighed and continued, "She also broke your front door. I'll ask Dahu to fix it for you later."

If the gate cannot be repaired, their home will not be peaceful at night.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Aunt Jiang looked at her somewhat unhappily, was silent for a moment, and then continued speaking.

"I really didn't like you before, because you were cunning, lazy, and treacherous..."

"Uh……"

Hearing these unexpected words, Bai Qingyao froze in place. Aunt Jiang was too direct.

"However, I have also seen your attitude towards the three children during this period. As long as you don't beat or scold the children and live a good life, I will be relieved."

Speaking of which, Aunt Jiang had some friendship with Gu Yichen's mother who died early, so she took special care of Gu Yichen.

"Aunt Jiang, I understand."

Aunt Jiang really cares about them, Bai Qingyao is clear about this.

"As long as you know it in your heart."

She didn't know what to say anymore, so she looked up and saw the chick not far away. "What is this?"

"Oh, I went to the mountains this morning and was lucky enough to pick up a nest of pheasants. I didn't have much at home, so I thought I'd bring some back to entertain the three little ones."

The shock on Aunt Jiang’s face had not yet dissipated. Is she so lucky?

You know, even many hunters can only see a few pheasants outside the back mountain. How could Bai Qingyao encounter one as soon as she went up the mountain?

She opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.

"It's good to keep it. It looks like a hen. It can lay eggs for the children to eat on weekdays."

Just as Aunt Jiang finished her words, she saw the pheasant in the chicken coop suddenly jump away from its original place with a "bang", and there was an egg where it left.

Aunt Jiang:?!

Bai Qingyao:?

What she said just now about laying three eggs a day was just a joke. Why does this pheasant look like she took it seriously?

Aunt Jiang was shocked. This pheasant lays eggs just like that?

"Qingyao, this chicken is good."

Bai Qingyao: ...
