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

Xue Ming was a little surprised when he heard Bai Qingyao's words.

Judging from her clothes, she didn't look like she was from a wealthy family. Moreover, she brought documents from Dayuan Village, so she was obviously from Dayuan Village.

He also remembered Dayuan Village. The village wasn't wealthy, but it was close to the dock... However, the villagers there didn't dare to try...

Since he took office, Qingshui County has improved a bit, but it is still at the bottom among all the county governments.

The development of Qingshui Village has also become a knot in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyao came here today to buy an island that no one had ever thought of.

"In that case, let's sign the document."

After receiving the documents and the title deed, Bai Qingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she also owns an island, and her future retirement life is just around the corner!

After they left, Xue Ming suddenly turned around and looked at the man next to him, and spoke to him.

"Yicheng, you say, an ordinary peasant girl has such great ability now that she can actually buy an island? But I have been in office for so many years, but I have never achieved anything."

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. Perhaps this is an opportunity for you."

"Ok?"

Xue Ming looked up in surprise, and looked at Tang Yicheng with doubt in his eyes.

"Your Excellency has been busy with the affairs of the county government lately, and you probably haven't heard that Wangyueju has released two new dishes. One is oysters, and the other is a kind of pastry called fish cake."

"What's wrong with these?"

"It is said that the oyster recipe was originally created by a peasant girl in Taohua Town and sold. At first, no one ate it, but later someone tried it and found it delicious, which caused a sensation."

"You mean, that person..."

"If I guess correctly, it should be the white girl just now."

A shrewd look flashed in Tang Yicheng's eyes.

"To be able to make an insignificant piece of seafood so valuable, I believe this white girl must have more in her head. Your Excellency, please take a look."

Tang Yicheng smiled mysteriously.

Xue Ming understood instantly, "Yicheng still has a keen eye."

After leaving the county government office, Bai Qingyao and the three little ones returned to the town without stopping.

When I got back, Aunt Luo hadn't left yet, but the sweet cakes on her stall were also selling the most today.

In the past, Aunt Luo would close her stall without waiting for all the customers to buy, and she didn’t care how much she earned.

Seeing Bai Qingyao walking towards him from a distance, he immediately waved his hands excitedly.

"Girl, are you done?"

"Well, thank you Aunt Luo for helping me watch the stall."

Bai Qingyao bowed to Aunt Luo to express her gratitude.

"Why be so polite!"

Aunt Luo waved her hand nonchalantly, "Now that we've finished our business, it's time to close the stall today."

Hearing Aunt Luo's casual words, Bai Qingyao couldn't help but frown, "Auntie, if you keep saying that, I'm really going to doubt whether you're here to set up a stall."

"Heh...hehehe."

Hearing this, Aunt Luo chuckled and almost exposed herself as a gangster.

"How could that be? I came out here just to set up a stall to supplement my family income!"

Aunt Luo patted her chest with a look of assurance.

Bai Qingyao smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Aunt Luo is right."

Seeing her like this, Aunt Luo didn't say anything else. After saying goodbye to Bai Qingyao, she walked towards an alley. She straightened her back only after Bai Qingyao was completely out of sight.

A few servants came out from the corner and when they saw her, they hurried over to her.

"Madam, why are you setting up a stall again? The young master told us to take good care of you."

Aunt Luo rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Take care of me? That guy isn't even here right now, so why would he take care of me?"

"Besides, I'm so happy to set up a stall every day. There are people to talk to. Otherwise, staying alone in that yard, will suffocate me to death?"

"Young ones don't dare."

Hearing what Aunt Luo said, the two servants hurriedly lowered their heads. Aunt Luo snorted coldly, walked to the end of the alley, turned right, and quickly disappeared from sight.

Bai Qingyao was just about to go back with the three little ones when Gu Zexuan suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes.

"Hmm? Xuan, what's wrong?"

Gu Zexuan raised his hand and pointed to someone not far away. "Uncle."

"Uncle?"

Following Gu Zexuan's gaze, Bai Qingyao saw a middle-aged man wearing patched clothes, who looked a little disheveled. There was a man standing in front of him, looking down at him.

From his memory, he found that this person was his elder brother from his mother's side, Bai Qingshan.

But he remembered that his family's conditions were decent, so why did they look so...down and out now?

Bai Qingyao walked over with the three little ones.

As soon as I walked over, I heard the arrogant middle-aged man speak.

"Your prey is getting worse and worse, so I'll give you thirty coins. If not, leave now!"

"Butler Zhang, this really won't do. My roe deer is of excellent quality, and the whole thing weighs over 50 kilograms. Can you raise the price a little more?"

When the man called Zhang Guanjia heard this, he was even more sarcastic. "You've ruined most of the skin of this roe deer. It's only thirty cents at most!"

When Bai Qingshan heard this, his face turned pale.

Butler Zhang glanced at his expression from the corner of his eye, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

If you buy this roe deer for thirty cents, the remaining money will go into his pocket!

Bai Qingshan thought about the current situation at home, gritted his teeth, and was about to speak when the roe deer in his hand was taken away by someone else.

"This roe deer is in perfect condition, and the scars on its back are all perfectly normal signs of hunting. Just this 50-jin roe deer would cost at least 300 wen at Wangyueju. You're dreaming of buying it for 30 wen!"

"you!"

When Butler Zhang heard this, his face turned pale.

However, after hearing this, Bai Qingshan subconsciously looked over, and when he saw Bai Qingyao, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"younger sister!"

"Brother." Feeling Bai Qingshan's joy, Bai Qingyao greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle!"

When the three little ones saw Bai Qingshan, they greeted him warmly.

Before, Bai’s uncle was very kind to them.

"Hey, Axuan, Ajing, and Ahuai are here too."

Seeing them, the smile on Bai Qingshan's face became even gentler.

Bai Qingyao did not forget the important matter and looked up at Butler Zhang.

"The Zhang family is also a wealthy family. They bought a roe deer for thirty coins. They are not afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out. Big brother, since they are bullying us so much, let's go!"

Bai Qingshan nodded. Since his sister said she wanted to leave, he would not sell it.

When Butler Zhang heard this, his expression changed slightly.

If the master gets wind of this, he'll be in big trouble.

"If we weren't in the Zhang family, there wouldn't be anyone to collect these preys every day!"
