Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The children were full and lay crookedly on the kang, touching their round bellies. Xiao Yunxi pulled them up and they cleaned up together.

Even if your home is bare, you should make it clean and tidy so that you can live comfortably.

Xiao Yunxi was responsible for cleaning the spider webs and dust on high places. Although Dabao's legs couldn't exert force, cleaning was still no problem. He was responsible for cleaning the kang and windowsill.

Erbao was responsible for sweeping the floor, while Niu Niu was just there to help.

"Mom, what a big centipede."

"Mom, there are insects."

"Mom, rat hole!"

There were many insects in the adobe house, so Xiao Yunxi first smoked them out with dry mugwort leaves, then blocked the holes one by one with mud and sprinkled them with lime powder.

After cleaning up the house inside and out and throwing away what needed to be thrown away, it seemed a bit empty.

"Yun Xi..."

Outside are Aunt Li and Danniu, who are here to deliver tables, chairs, benches, and quilts. It's really like someone is delivering a pillow when you're sleepy.

Xiao Yunxi accepted all the things without hesitation. They refused to accept the money and moved the things into the house before returning. No matter how hard they tried, they could not catch up.

Uncle Tang, Aunt Li, and the village chief's family treat them well. Ultimately, it's because of the children. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, but if you have the ability, you will naturally repay them.

If they are unwilling to accept the money, then take them to make money. Xiao Yunxi made up her mind that only love and kindness in the world should not be let down.

With tables, chairs and benches, it felt more like home. As the sky gradually darkened, Xiao Yunxi prepared food for the children.

There were also big buns for lunch, two stir-fried vegetables, some stir-fried pork tenderloin slices, and tomato egg drop soup. The little one ate it with great relish.

Dabao was more sensitive, pointing at the tomatoes and asking:

"what is this?"

Xiao Yunxi casually wrote:

"The fruits I found in the mountains are sour and delicious. I'll transplant them back when I have time so I can eat them often."

Dabao was obviously still doubtful, so Xiao Yunxi told him to eat quickly because they had to queue up for a bath later.

They haven't taken a bath for a long time, and their clothes are sour and may even have fleas. They have new clothes and new quilts, so they must be washed to be healthier.

Niuniu likes water. She splashes her short legs in the bathtub and has a lot of fun. When her ticklish spots are touched, she shrinks and giggles.

When it was Xiaobao's turn to wash, he held up his pants to defend the last bit of his fig leaf:

"Wash it yourself,"

"Mom will give you a comfortable wash."

"Mother...Mother...I'll wash it myself."

The little guy was shy, so Xiao Yunxi prepared the bath water and let him play in the tub. She brought water into the house to wipe Dabao's body.

He had obvious bruises on his body, which were more serious than those on Xiaobao and Niuniu.

"Does it hurt?"

The original owner beat the children, and Dabao protected his younger siblings, and he was injured the most. The more sensible the child is, the more distressing it is.

The stepmother's sudden tenderness made Dabao dazed, and then an oil-paper bag appeared in front of him:

"I'll treat you to a meal."

There were two candied haws in the box, which Xiao Yunxi had left specially. Dabao lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"I didn't call you mother..."

"You are allowed to owe debts."

Tang Dabao's nose felt sore, his eyes seemed to be covered by fog, and his vision became blurry.

The little ones took a bath while Xiao Yunxi cleaned the kang.

The mat that is so black that it is covered with patina is collected and thrown into the kitchen to be burned as firewood tomorrow. Dry straw is used as the bottom layer to add a little softness and warmth.

Then he laid out the newly bought coarse cloth and covered it with the cotton quilt sent by the village chief, and the whole kang looked brand new.

Lying on the newly laid kang, covered with a soft quilt, feeling incredibly warm, Xiaobao felt happy to the core.

"so comfortable."

"It would be nice if I could eat meat every day and have a warm bed."

Touching his round belly, Xiaobao asked Dabao:

"Will the stepmother change back?"

Tang Dabao shook his head, his tone uncertain:

"Shouldn't it be...right?"

He actually had no idea in his heart. His stepmother's change was too sudden and too strange, as if she was possessed by a ghost. Who could guarantee that she would not change back?

The more you think, the more troubles you have.

Tang Niuniu would not think so much, she would eat well and sleep well.

She put on new clothes, smelled the fluffy smell of the quilt, closed her big eyes, opened them, closed them again, and opened them again, repeating this several times until they became even. Dabao and Xiaobao also slowly closed their eyes.

After coming back from a bath, Xiao Yunxi found the little ones huddled together, curled up in a corner, sleeping soundly.

This is a subconscious protective action due to lack of security.

Although she has tried her best to change, the time is too short and the children's inner trauma has not healed quickly. They are still wary and uneasy about their surroundings.

It takes more time to build complete trust with children.

Xiao Yunxi tiptoed over and gently pulled up the quilt. The damn broken window was leaking air, so she found Xiaobao's torn clothes to cover it up and would find someone to repair it tomorrow.

Leave a piece of unburned wood in the fire pit and keep the braised meat in a slow-cooking state until dawn. This will make the braised meat softer and the soup richer.

After doing all this, Xiao Yunxi lay down on the kang.

The dilapidated roof is covered with holes of various sizes, through which you can see the starry sky above.

In this era, there is basically no entertainment at night, and people usually go to bed early. For modern people, nightlife has not even started at this time.

Xiao Yunxi suddenly thought that there was a reason why there were so many children in ancient times.

I tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to go into the space to take a look.

The vegetables grew well, the fruits were juicy and plump, but unfortunately they were not picked, and many fell to the ground, only being eaten by the chickens, ducks, sheep, and the big fat pig.

The materials in the space are treasures bestowed by God and cannot be wasted. Find time to sell some of them so that you can realize your dream - build a house, hoard land, buy shops, and become a landlady who can lie down and relax!

Not only that,

She also has to work hard to make money, become the richest woman, raise a group of handsome puppies, and live a life more dissolute than that of a tyrant!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if she saw a bright future right before her eyes.

Immersed in beautiful fantasies, time passed unknowingly, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

There was chaos at Ma Cuilan's house at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Cuilan, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, lay on the kang without moving. The third and fourth daughters-in-law also had faces swollen like pigs' heads. They knelt on the ground and dared not breathe.

The second daughter-in-law came in cautiously:

"mother."

"Dad is back."

Ma Cuilan suddenly asked:

"Which foot came first into the house?"

"what?"

"Which foot!"

"Right...right foot."

The fat body climbed up and cursed:

"Who told you to put your right foot first? I've told you so many times to put your left foot first!"

"You bastard!"

"You're incapable of giving birth to a son. I was beaten but you didn't care. Now your father-in-law is back and you're so enthusiastic. Whore! I'll sell you to a brothel sooner or later!"

Ma Cuilan scolded and beat the second son's wife, who lowered her head, not daring to say a word or fight back, and endured it silently.

The eldest son's wife outside frowned, but in the end she didn't meddle in other people's business.

poor person must have something mean,

The second son's wife was weak-willed. As she only had two daughters, she had the lowest status in the family and could not even hold her head up.

Not to mention her mother-in-law, the other daughters-in-law also bullied her. She was always hardworking and submissive. She did most of the housework.

Once she spoke up to speak up for her, but the second son's wife said it was okay, which made her feel unpopular. This kind of person can't stand up on her own, and no one can help her.

The second son rushed in and yelled at his wife:

"Did you make your mother angry again? Come with me!"

Soon, crackling sounds and a baby girl's crying came from the next room. Ma Cuilan calmed down and drove the two daughters-in-law out. Only then did Tang Guochen enter the room.

She squirmed her body and cried while holding Tang Guochen.

When other people cry, it's like pear blossoms in the rain, which makes me feel pity for them. But she was in a thunderstorm, with only thunder and no rain. With her delicate pig head, Tang Guochen almost vomited out the food he had eaten the night before.

He pulled his arms off the two pig's trotters without leaving any trace, and said seriously:

"Have you been looking for your seventh uncle?"

"That bastard dared to hit me, I'm going to arrest him!"

"Recently, new officials were sent to Luochuan County from above, and they're unresponsive. My seventh uncle told us to stay quiet and not cause any trouble. We can discuss anything later."

Ma Cuilan didn't expect such a result. She sat on the ground and howled. Tang Guochen went out quietly without shooting.
