Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Chapter 10: Mother and Son Talk, Humans and Ghosts

Tang Xiaobao stumbled out and opened the gate.

Tang Hao and Fan Chunhua smiled warmly, touched his head to show their closeness, then sniffed and went straight to the kitchen where the braised meat was.

The kitchen had no windows, no lights, and was a little dim. Tang Hao lifted the lid of the pot:

"I can smell the fragrance from far away. What delicious food are you making?"

The braised food was pitch black and the light was bad, so I couldn’t see clearly what was inside, but the tempting aroma couldn’t be concealed, so it must be delicious.

Fan Chunhua followed behind him, her eyes glowing green, and she couldn't wait to catch it.

"If you dare to scratch me, I'll chop off your claws."

Fan Chunhua turned around and saw Xiao Yunxi leaning against the door frame. She met her smiling eyes and immediately showed a flattering smile.

"Sister-in-law, what are you cooking at home? The aroma is even more fragrant than the dishes cooked by the chef at Hua Man Lou in Dongshan Town."

"It's the kind of filthy stuff that even dogs wouldn't eat."

Fan Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened:

"What! You mean going into the water?"

"if not?"

Fan Chunhua couldn't believe her nose. How could such a stinky thing produce such a fragrant taste?

Must try:

"Sister-in-law, the one in our family is a good friend of Huai Ming. It was me who called your evil mother-in-law today. Let me have a taste."

"can."

So easy to talk to?

Fan Chunhua thought to herself, "Who cares about her?" and immediately took action, not forgetting to praise her.

"My sister-in-law is so generous."

Xiao Yunxi's voice came again:

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, I have conditions."

Fan Chunhua's hands were fixed on the spot. She instinctively felt that something was not going on. She smiled awkwardly and tried to get closer.

"We are all family, and we have to help each other even if we have to eat something."

"Yes, Sister Chunhua and Brother Haozi, they are all family. Even if they don't give us food, they can still help us, right?"

"..."

Fan Chunhua's eyes rolled around.

If it were usual, she would have grabbed it and eaten it first.

Thinking of Xiao Yunxi beating Ma Cuilan and pulling out a knife to kill someone, he was very sensible and did not act impulsively.

"What kind of help do you want? Let me tell you in advance, I'm not very capable and may not be able to help."

"It's a small thing, you can definitely do it... just help me wash the pigs' offal every day."

Fan Chunhua's eyes rolled around:

"Wash it every day? Are you planning on running a business?"

I have to say that Fan Chunhua is very smart. Xiao Yunxi did not answer:

"Just say whether you will help or not."

"I can help you, but it can't be for free. Teach me the recipe for the braised dishes, and I'll help you wash them."

Xiao Yunxi smiled, her tone so calm it was frightening:

"Think carefully before you speak."

Fan Chunhua shuddered and laughed dryly to hide her embarrassment:

"How about we cooperate and bring my husband and I together?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head:

"I'll give you 3 cents a day if you work for me."

“20 wen!”

“3 wen!”

"19 Wen."

"Three cents, no room for negotiation. There are many people in the village willing to do this price. I'm looking for you because you helped call Aunt Li when Ma Cuilan came to cause trouble yesterday. She gave you preferential treatment."

Washing pig offal can earn you 3 cents, so many people would rush to do it.

"make a deal!"

"Also, you said during the day that even dogs wouldn't eat sewage, so why do you want to eat it now?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"..."

Since they worked so hard for a bite of food, Xiao Yunxi served them a bowl full of marinade and gave them 4 buns as a gift. The couple took them home happily.

Dabao couldn't understand.

It is better to give 3 cents to Aunt Li next door than to the couple who love to get something for nothing.

Dabao is very smart and cannot be treated as a child. Xiao Yunxi did not directly answer his question, but asked:

"Just now, your grandmother Li said that Ma Cuilan went to her mother's hometown, Majiatun. What do you think she went there for?"

After thinking for a moment, Dabao said:

"He was beaten yesterday, and today he went to Majiatun to seek support from his relative, the village head."

Xiao Yunxi continued to ask:

"Then do you think the village head will take action?"

Dabao nodded solemnly:

"When she was trying to seize the family property, the village head blatantly helped. There must have been some profiteering between the two of them. It's very likely that the village head was involved."

"Then do you think we can stop the village head's tricks?"

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Dabao had to accept the reality that Xiaoxiao Li was something they could not deal with at the moment.

He glanced at the base of the wall. If he could find the people his father left behind, he wouldn't have to be afraid of the village head. However, those people had completely disappeared and could not be found at all.

Xiao Yunxi went to find Tang Hao and Fan Chunhua not because she really wanted them to do those jobs, but because she wanted them to help her find out information about the head of the village so that she could know herself and her enemy better.

Tang Hao is from the town's transport team and often travels around. He knows all the news from the surrounding area and even the county town, and he's pretty familiar with it.

First pay him the wages, and then let him choose between gathering information and washing pig offal. The couple will definitely choose the former. This is more effective than directly asking them to gather information, and it is less likely that they will be blackmailed by the shrewd couple.

"They're greedy. What if they tell the village head about our information gathering?"

Patting his head, he patiently explained:

"Everyone has a different personality. Uncle Tang is tough and can't stand those who are cunning and cunning. Aunt Li is soft-hearted and trusting. Tang Hao and Fan Chunhua are greedy, but they were able to notify Aunt Li when Ma Cui came to bully you. This is the bottom line and conscience... You must allow the people around you to have small flaws. People with flaws are real people. Those without flaws and who always talk about saints are actually evil. Be careful, do you understand?"

Tang Dabao seemed to understand, but it was hard to understand without having experienced the ugliness of human nature.

"That woman is your mother-in-law. If you hit her, you are unfilial. The village head can accuse you of unfilial behavior and arrest you."

Pat his head:

"Don't worry about the village head. He's a tyrant in the village, so he's definitely not clean. If he collects more evidence, he won't be able to protect himself. No matter how powerful the village head is, there's still the county magistrate above him. If the county magistrate is not good enough, there's still the prefect. He can't cover up everything with one hand."

Dabao wanted to say that the officials in the officialdom protected each other and the administration of Daxia was rotten. Even if he reported it to the prefect or even found the incompetent emperor, it would be useless.

He knew that these words were useless and would only cause trouble for his stepmother. Anyway, it was right to get information and make preparations in advance.

He should be able to go into the town more often in the near future. He plans to look for his father's subordinates again. Only by finding them can he stop worrying about the head of the village.

Dabao didn't know that Xiao Yunxi had a second half to her words. If officials protected each other, she wouldn't mind representing justice and humanely destroying the village head!

While Xiao Yunxi was talking to Dabao, Tang Hao and Fan Chunhua came home with bowls, divided the meat into four portions, and asked the two children to eat.

The two boys almost buried their faces in the bowl, and the couple was not much better:

"too delicious!"

“It would be great if I could eat a bowl every day.”

"Boss, how about we try to get the recipe?"

Tang Hao swallowed a mouthful of meat and shook his head frantically:

"Please do not!"

"What?"

"The woman from Lao Liu's family is a bit weird. Don't mess with her. I can feel that she really dares to kill people."

"Is this true? If she's so cruel, how could she be bullied by that bitch Ma Cuilan?"

Fan Chunhua was a little skeptical, but Tang Hao was very serious:

"I didn't know why before, but she's definitely dangerous, especially when she held the knife yesterday. That kind of ruthlessness is something I've only seen in previous captains. I don't think Lao Liu's family is stingy. If we work hard for her and ask for some meat, can she refuse? And with three cents as a wage, it's like picking it up for free. There's no need to cause trouble for herself."

"Then I'll listen to you."

Fan Chunhua is very aggressive, but she listens to Tang Hao on important matters. The two of them continue to work hard, eating until their mouths are full of oil. Not satisfied yet, they even grab two pieces of meat from their son's bowl.
