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

When Gu Yichen heard Bai Qingyao's words, he put the wooden basin in his hand aside and then walked directly towards Bai Qingyao.

The two sat in front of the stone table in the yard and did not speak for a long time.

It was Bai Qingyao who broke the silence first. "Ahem."

"that--"

She stumbled a bit and quickly adjusted herself.

"Although we are husband and wife, I know that you have no feelings for me. I was ignorant before and thought we were husband and wife, so I forced everything on you."

"Now, after these two years since you left, I've finally figured it out. A forced melon won't be sweet. You don't like me, and I've let it go. Now that you're back, our engagement..."

Having said that, Bai Qingyao changed the subject.

"Our engagement will still need to last for a while, but don't worry, I won't stay here until the three little ones are completely accepted."

Anyway, her island will soon be organized, and even if she misses the three little ones, she can come to see them, or even take them to live on the island for a while.

As for now...

The three little ones had been thinking about and looking forward to Gu Yichen's return. Now that he is back, they certainly cannot accept the separation of their father and mother for a while. This period of time is also a buffer period for the three little ones.

After hearing Bai Qingyao's words, Gu Yichen didn't react for a while. After he reacted, he looked at her steadily and found that there was no trace of joking on her face. Then he realized that she was serious.

"it is good."

Seeing him nod, Bai Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief. "As for the custody of the three little ones, I still want to fight for it. I will give them the best life. I hope you can..."

"impossible."

He must bring the three little ones with him. After saying this, Gu Yichen glanced at Bai Qingyao again and said, "However, if they want to follow you at that time, I have no objection."

The prerequisite is that there is no problem with Bai Qingyao's identity and she can withstand his test. Otherwise, he would not be able to leave the three little ones with her to grow up.

The original choice was made out of helplessness. Without her, there would be another person.

Although he chose her because of her scheme, there was another point: she was very easy to control. When everything was settled, he would have an excuse to divorce her.

But I didn’t expect that she would change so much now.

"A word is settled!"

Hearing this, Bai Qingyao's eyes lit up. She was very confident about this matter.

She couldn't help but feel more pleasing to Gu Yichen in front of her.

"As for this period of time, we will play our respective roles and not interfere with each other."

"it is good."

Gu Yichen nodded. He saw all the changes on Bai Qingyao's face.

Now it seems...it's actually quite normal...

After making an appointment with Gu Yichen, Bai Qingyao went to make soup happily. During this period of time, she had to take care of the bridge construction and did not have much time to set up the stall. When she went to the town today, she had to arrange things.

*

Taohua Town was as bustling as usual, with constant hawking sounds on the streets and customers stopping in front of the stalls from time to time to ask for prices and bargain.

Bai Qingyao didn't bring the three little ones today, not because they didn't want to follow him, but because there were quite a few people at home, and since Gu Yichen had gone back, Bai Qingyao let them stay at home.

Originally, Bai Dahai was a little worried about her coming out, so he simply let Bai Qingjiang go with her and just push the cart for her and do the hard labor.

When Bai Qingjiang got up in the morning, he didn't see Bai Qingyao. After asking the three little ones, he found out that Bai Qingyao went to pry oysters after making the soup. He quickly washed his face and followed her.

Experience the joy of prying oysters.

Now they followed Bai Qingyao to the town, and they didn't expect her business to be so popular. Less than a quarter of an hour after they arrived, a long line formed in front of them.

"Sister, our business... is so good." They thought that Bai Qingyao had cheated them before.

But then I thought, the noodles made by Bai Qingyao are so delicious, I'm sure many people like them.

This morning they ate noodles made by Bai Qingyao, which tasted so delicious that it was unforgettable!

A customer nearby heard Bai Qingjiang's words. Since it wasn't his turn yet, he couldn't help but say, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. I'm afraid you don't know me yet."

"Miss Bai's stall is now a well-known noodle stall in Taohua Town. The taste is good, the ingredients are generous, and it's very filling. Especially the workers at the town's docks, everyone praises it!"

Hearing the guest's words, Bai Qingjiang looked up proudly. This is her sister!

His sister is so amazing!

Aunt Luo came particularly late today, and she kept looking back as if she was avoiding someone.

After Bai Qingyao poured the topping on the noodles in her hand, she looked up at Aunt Luo.

Just then, Aunt Luo parked her stall in front of Le Baiqingyao.

After hearing her voice, he looked back twice as if he was a little frightened. When he saw that there was no one there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Qingyao was amused by her appearance. "Aunt Luo, are you hiding from people?"

As for who was hiding, Bai Qingyao didn't know, but she knew at a glance that it was someone Aunt Luo knew, otherwise, Aunt Luo would not have looked so guilty when she was called by her.

"Girl, you don't know how hard I've been going through recently!"

When she saw Bai Qingyao, Aunt Luo pursed her lips and began to cry as if she had seen a long-lost relative.

"Auntie, what happened?"

Seeing her like this, Bai Qingyao restrained the smile on her face and said seriously.

"You don't know, that brat in my family got the news about me from somewhere. He knew I was setting up a stall here, so he ordered everyone in the house not to let me out. I was so cooped up at home yesterday that I almost suffocated to death!"

"That unfilial son, if I see him, I will beat him to death! He doesn't even come to see me, and he lets a bunch of people control me!"

Although she said this, there was only a hint of complaint in Aunt Luo's tone, without any other meaning.

Bai Qingyao: ...

She thought Aunt Luo was imprisoned, but before she could speak, she heard Aunt Luo speak again.

"That brat even said that I'm old and it's easy for something to happen if I go out alone. That's nonsense. I'm in good health!"

As she said that, Aunt Luo turned around and said, "Girl, bring me a bowl of noodles quickly. I was busy hiding from them this morning and didn't even have enough to eat!"

Aunt Luo's voice sounded a little aggrieved. Bai Qingyao quickly served her a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of her. "Auntie, take your time eating."

Seeing the noodles, Aunt Luo's eyes lit up and she found an empty seat and sat down. She only heard the sound of "slurping" and started to eat with satisfaction.

"Please eat slowly."

As Aunt Luo ate, she kept complaining about the unfilial son she was talking about, and the grievance of being locked up at home for the whole day.

"Your son is doing this for your own good. Calm down."

"For my own good? Humph! If you really wanted to do this for my own good, you wouldn't have let me come back alone!"

Although she wanted to come back to retire...
