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

Sun Yunyun originally wanted to leave, but was kept by Bai Qingyao. Since the guests came to the door, how could she let them go back with an empty stomach?

Hearing this, Gu Yichen widened his eyes in disbelief.

He was still her husband, so why did he need to be replaced by labor? And why did he have to be ordered around by her?

The most important thing is...she can actually order food!

Just because I want to eat something, Bai Qingyao puts forward three or four conditions!

That’s right, ever since the two of them made three rules, if Gu Yichen wants to eat a certain dish, he has to prepare the ingredients himself and even do the work!

Looking at Sun Yunyun's leisurely look, I am curious!

Sun Yunyun, who was sitting and drinking water, suddenly felt a chill on her back.

What's going on? It's still summer, why is it suddenly so cold?

She raised her hand and rubbed her arms, then looked up at Bai Qingyao who was still busy, and felt embarrassed to sit down.

After all, I didn't bring anything with me this time and I felt a little embarrassed to stay for dinner.

"Qingyao, is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, just sit down, the food will be ready soon."

What Bai Qingyao said was indeed correct. After the dishes were cooked, Gu Yichen also built the earthen stove. She walked forward and added firewood underneath. Not long after, a layer of black appeared on the shell that looked very messy on the outside.

Gu Yichen stood aside, and the three little ones heard the noise here and came over.

He stood there silently, looking at the ugly big shell with another layer of black stuff on it.

'Crack--'

Suddenly, a sound came from the giant clam, and then several people saw that the ugly shell opened up, revealing what was inside.

"Mother! It's colorful inside—"

Gu Zejing noticed the inner shell of the giant clam with his sharp eyes.

Bai Qingyao chuckled. "Giant clams live on the seabed. They may not look pretty on the surface, but their inner walls are truly colorful and beautiful. So, Ah Jing, Ah Xuan, Ah Huai, from now on, we must look beyond the surface and see the essence. Do you understand?"

"I know, mother."

Hearing this, Gu Yichen couldn't help but look up and take another look at Bai Qingyao.

Bai Qingyao continued to add fuel to the fire. The shell of this giant clam was not thin. Although it was open now, the meat inside was definitely not cooked yet.

After about half an hour, Bai Qingyao took a look and saw that the fire was almost ready, so she stopped adding fuel and turned to prepare the dipping sauce.

Of course, the meat cannot be eaten like this. After all, it has not been processed and is very fishy. She opened the giant clam and was about to take out the meat inside. Unexpectedly, just when she took half of it, her hand touched something hard.

She looked down and saw a long knife being taken out from inside, followed by a bead the size of an egg rolling out from inside.

Bai Qingyao:!

Gu Yichen:?

The three little ones stared with their eyes wide open.

The beads rolled to the ground and landed at Gu Zehuai's feet. He was holding a piece of candy cake in his hand. He looked at the beads on the ground, then looked up at Bai Qingyao, bent down, and picked up the white beads on the ground.

"Mother, here."

Bai Qingyao thought that there might be giant clam pearls in this giant clam, but she never thought they would be so big.

As Bai Qingyao raised her hand to take the beads, she heard the voice of the system.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a Hundred-Year Giant Clam Pearl. Bonus points: 2,000.]

Bai Qingyao:?

Are giant clam pearls more valuable than giant clams? Even more valuable than hawksbill turtles, which are mythical creatures!

Why is this?

"Mistress, what's going on?"

[Host, this giant clam pearl is the most valuable part of the giant clam. It's a hundred years old, and in the world of cultivation, it's a very precious elixir.]

"So, what you're saying is... the older the giant clam pearls are, the more points you can earn?"

[Yes, host. ]

Bai Qingyao put away the giant clam beads and took out the giant clam meat.

Fragrance kept emanating from the Gu family's yard. Villagers passing by the door would occasionally stop to smell the fragrance in the air, and eventually leave with a sigh.

Bai Qingyao was busy in the kitchen and didn't notice that a figure sneaked in through the crack in the door.

He even sneaked into the corner when no one was around.

After Bai Qingyao finished making it, she let it rise again and prepared to make buns in the evening. After all, the workers building the bridge on the island still needed to eat.

As for lunch, I had the same meal as them: fish soup, braised prawns, giant clam meat, and rice. It was delicious.

There was a table full of dishes, and the smell was so delicious that it would make the worms in one’s stomach run out.

Sun Yunyun knew from the smell that these dishes were definitely not ordinary delicacies. Adding to that the noodles that Bai Qingyao had made earlier, that taste...

"Yunyun, don't be polite, try it."

"Then I won't be polite." Although she said this, Sun Yunyun still felt a little embarrassed.

Bai Qingyao was afraid that she would feel embarrassed, so she used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for her. Sun Yunyun was instantly overwhelmed by the delicious food in front of her.

All the guilt and embarrassment, just put it aside and wait until she finishes eating.

She couldn't wait to take a bite. The giant clam meat was very soft and glutinous, but it also had a chewy texture when she bit it. In addition to being fresh, it also had a hint of sweetness.

Add the dipping sauce prepared by Bai Qingyao, and dip it in it. It has a sour taste, but it is sweet in the mouth and has an endless aftertaste.

While eating, she opened her veil.

Xiao Tao was anxious watching from the side, but the people at the table didn't show any strange expression on their faces, so she quietly reminded her young lady, "Miss——"

When Sun Yunyun heard this, she suddenly came to her senses and her face turned pale.

Bai Qingyao put down her chopsticks and said, "Yunyun, your face needs more sunlight. Wearing this veil every day is actually counterproductive."

"What's more, beauty and ugliness are never determined by appearance, but by the heart. No matter how beautiful a person's face is, if she has a vicious heart, she is the ugliest person in the world."

"On the other hand, some people may have ugly faces but noble and kind hearts, and they are the most beautiful people in the world."

"People in this world may be superficial, but we cannot be assimilated. We should just do what is in our hearts and be ourselves."

After Bai Qingyao finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at her in shock.

"Ouch, what is that—"

Suddenly, Bai Qingjiang spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Their attention was drawn to him and everyone looked over subconsciously.

"what!"

Bai Qingjiang suddenly jumped up, his face pale, and he pointed at his feet tremblingly, "Wolf——"

"what?"

Hearing this, Bai Dahai became alert instantly, and his face turned pale instantly after seeing the wolf.

How is this possible? How could a wolf suddenly appear in my house?

However, when Bai Qingyao and Gu Yichen saw the wolf, they showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Bai Qingyao felt it was a coincidence. Isn’t this the wolf she rescued before?

As for Gu Yichen, he looked at it with a gloomy look. This little thing actually ran down...
