Quick Wear: To get home quickly, do the task

"Don't laugh at me for being mercenary! But I have no choice. My son is only six years old. I have to raise him up to be worthy of that damned bastard of mine! However, I won't take money with a guilty conscience. I also take good care of those two children!"

"Sis, you told me all this secret, which shows that you really treat me as your own! Sister treats me as a confidant, and I feel the same way!

As for joking, sister! What's so funny about this? Even though you want him to earn money to support the family, it's normal for us women to marry a man and get food and clothing."

"But sister, you can't spoil those two children too much. It's fine for a girl to stay at home and learn housework. But that boy, he must be eleven or twelve, right? Why does he hide in the house every day and do nothing? That's unacceptable! I'm just a farmer, I can't raise my child as a master. When he grows up, he won't know anything, how can he start a family?"

Widow Wang gave me a look that said, "You understand me!" "Yes! That's what I mean too. Boys don't need to be so pampered! But whenever I ask him to work, even if it's just running errands for me, he gets sick! I'm worried about that too!"

"There's nothing to worry about! I'm just too practical! All kids are like this. If they want to be lazy, they'll just pretend to be sick. Next time they get sick, just ignore them and they'll get better on their own!"

"I thought so too. How could it be such a coincidence that I would get sick while working? But as a stepmother, I'm afraid of being blamed for my involvement, even if it's too much or too little!"

"If you ask me, I just worry too much! My Minmin is only six years old, and she's already started working.

Most of the children in this village are their own mothers, right? But who doesn't do some work? This is also for the good of the child. Otherwise, not only will he not be able to do anything in the future, but he will also have a reputation as a lazy person. Who would want to marry him? He is naive now, but he will be grateful to you when he grows up!

Widow Wang was waiting for these words. After all, although she had wanted to do this for a long time, she still hoped to get other people's approval.

"Right! Right! Big sister is absolutely right! I have to harden my heart and teach them well. Otherwise, when they grow up, they won't know anything and that's when I'll really blame them!"

"Yes, that's what we should do! Sister, I'm home. Let's go pick wild vegetables together tomorrow!" Finally home. The two of them kept talking from the moment they started picking wild vegetables. Widow Wang didn't know what was going on, but Yuan Feng's throat was about to smoke. It was hard work to sow discord!

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow!"

Widow Wang was thinking: The Shen family girl is really thoughtful and talkative. She can always pick up on whatever you say... and every word hits the nail on the head! Although her mouth is a little dry, she feels really good!

[Host, do you want her to become a vicious stepmother? ]

"What vicious stepmother? Can they be as vicious as them? Han Siping will really pierce my heart with a sword when he comes back! Besides, isn't it normal for country kids to work in the fields?"

[...The host is right! ]

Next, under Yuan Feng's encouragement, Widow Wang really learned how to be a qualified mother without any instruction! A responsible rural mother must first let her children learn and master various tasks!

Widow Wang asked Han Jiao to stay home to cook and wash clothes, and take care of her son. She went out to pick wild vegetables, collect firewood, and even took Han Qiang with her when she went to plough the fields.

Yuan Feng was very happy every time he saw Han Qiang lower his head when he met someone, looking pitiful! However, Han Qiang may have forgotten that the villagers didn't know that this was his stepmother! There was nothing wrong with his biological mother taking her son out to work, so there was no such thing as anyone pitying him!

The original owner was too kind and believed that he was really sick.

In her previous life, when Han Qiang fell ill, the original owner wanted to see a doctor, but Han Qiang refused. He said he didn't want to spend money, saying it was an old illness and he would be fine after a few days of rest! The original owner actually believed him and felt even more distressed for his understanding!

Now that Widow Wang asked him to work, he came out obediently! Want to pretend to be sick? Find a doctor to check it out and we'll know for sure!

As for the resentment and unwillingness in Han Qiang's eyes, who cares!

No matter how much he hated her, she was just an eleven or twelve year old kid after all, and he didn't dare to make a big fuss!

What's more, when the father is not at home, it is normal for the "mother" to take her son to work in the fields. What's there to make a fuss about?

......

When the autumn harvest came, Han Siping indeed asked someone to bring back the silver.

Of course, Widow Wang didn't tell her this. She discovered it when she was bored at night and was monitoring Han Qiang's recent martial arts practice through the system.

Yuan Feng discovered that Han Qiang had basically not practiced martial arts since Widow Wang took him to farm.

It was understandable. Working every day was tiring, and with Han Siping away, there was no way the family would have any meat. Every meal consisted of porridge with multi-grain pancakes, a common diet for every household in the village.

If you can't keep up the physical strength, you naturally won't have the energy to practice martial arts!

This can be considered an unexpected gain. Yuan Feng doesn't want Han Qiang to become a master! It's best if he can't do anything in his life!

Yuan Feng would monitor Han Qiang and his sister every ten days or half a month. In addition to observing whether Han Qiang practiced martial arts, the most important thing was to find out their identities. Why did they keep it so secretive? Unfortunately, the two siblings hadn't talked about this topic for a year!

More than a month later, news came back that Han Siping was missing on the battlefield.

After Han Siping disappeared, Widow Wang was not as depressed as the original owner!

For the first two months, he probably hoped the news wasn't accurate, so he didn't treat the two children too harshly. But as time went on, and Han Siping still had no news, his attitude changed. He started complaining to Yuan Feng about how the family had no money and how the little brat was eating him out of his money.

In short, I just don’t want to continue raising these two children, but I have no reason!

With this mentality, things will get worse and worse for the two children!

It's just after the Lunar New Year, so it's not time to plant crops yet. But the two children can't sit idle either. They've been driven to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood. Han Jiao used to do a little chores around the house, but now she's out working with her brother. The problem is, they work every day and still don't have enough to eat!

That night, a bored Yuan Feng eavesdropped as usual. Surprisingly, this time he finally got something out of it!

"Brother, what should we do now?" Han Jiao is now obviously darker and thinner.

"Dad told me before he left that if there was any news of him missing, don't believe it. Dad should have found a chance to get his belongings!"

It can be heard that Han Qiang is still calm. But taking money and property? So there is no secret mission at all?

"How much longer are we going to have to endure this? I can't take it anymore! Every day I have to go out to collect firewood, and when I come back I have to do the laundry and cook, and we can't even get enough to eat!"

"Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take a year to go back and forth. If it doesn't go smoothly, I can't be sure. But this old witch is really too much. When Dad comes back, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
