Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The King of Chu's men were brought into the tent.

Altan narrowed his eyes, too lazy to talk nonsense, and said directly:

"The King of Chu has betrayed the trust of the Northern Barbarians. I believe our cooperation can end here."

Feeling the murderous intent in Altan, the man in black remained calm and bowed to him, saying:

"Great Lord of the Grasslands, I already know about the troubles the Northern Barbarians are facing. This was completely outside of our original plan. According to intelligence, it was Prince Qing who was behind this. You should be aware of the royal struggles within Daxia..."

Altan looked impatient and interrupted him with a wave of his hand:

"I'm not interested in the internal fighting in Daxia. I'll give you half a day to get the people from Hutouya to withdraw, otherwise you will bear the wrath of the grassland."

Only by occupying the entire northwest and obtaining sufficient benefits can the Northern Barbarians stabilize themselves internally.

Hutouya occupies an advantageous terrain. If they attack by force, other tribes will not contribute. Tumed will attack first, and their strength will be further weakened. Even if they occupy the northwest,

He will no longer be the king of the grassland,

He wants to take Hutou Cliff at the lowest cost and consolidate his position, otherwise he doesn't mind making the collusion public.

The man in black raised the corner of his mouth. It was finally time to close the game of chess played by His Highness.

He returned to the tent and ordered his subordinates to go to Hutou Cliff. He was being closely watched by Altan and it was impossible for him to leave the barracks, but it was still possible for him to move around within the barracks.

He strolled leisurely in the military camp, as the name suggests, taking a walk, and finally arrived at the place where the Chahar tribe had set up camp.

.....

In the mountains,

Xiao Yunxi had already climbed over the first peak. Even if the northern barbarians wanted to chase her, they would have to abandon their horses. She could rely solely on the speed of her legs, so she was not afraid of being caught up.

The villagers of Tangjia Village carried their loads and supported each other.

Although the luggage has been streamlined, I have lived a hard life so how could I bear to throw away all the good things? I took whatever I could, picked and chose, and it eventually became a burden.

Xiao Yunxi did not remind them. Once they realized that those material possessions were a burden, they would naturally make a choice to give them up.

The children hung their heads, and the villagers looked exhausted.

"Rest where you are."

It is now Chou hour, and there are still two and a half hours before dawn. I will take a nap to replenish my energy. When I wake up, it will be slightly bright and there will be birds singing in the mountains and forests. It is quite poetic.

It’s a pity that I was on the road to escape and had no mood to appreciate it.

Niuniu slept soundly in her arms. The cotton-padded clothes covering her body were wet by the dew. She put the cotton-padded clothes into the living room and changed the children into dry quilts.

Xiao Yunxi prepared to make breakfast.

There are pregnant women, children and elderly people in the team. They have to travel continuously during the day. If they don’t eat well, their bodies will not be able to bear it.

Build two simple stoves with stones, add two pieces of firewood to the campfire, place them in the stove after lighting them, and open the backpack.

The backpack she designed played a huge role in fleeing famine. It could hold a lot of things, was not a hindrance when carried, and could even hold children. Every villager in Tangjia Village had one.

In terms of carrying supplies, it has an advantage over other villages.

of course,

The backpack was a cover for Xiao Yunxi, and all the things were taken out from the space.

Wash the pottery jar, put the clean rice in it, and put the pickled sausage and salty ribs on top. The rice cooked in this way will be soaked in fat and have a strong salty taste.

It tastes delicious and can help you stay full.

Put the iron pan on the stove, heat the oil, put the chopped chicken in and stir-fry until the water is dry, add the onion and ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, then add angelica, star anise, and peppercorns and stew.

When it is almost cooked, add potatoes.

Zhou Jin got up and saw her cooking. There was a chopping board, a kitchen knife, a large and small pot, a dazzling array of ingredients, and the things in her backpack were inexhaustible.

I suppressed my curiosity and kept silent. My wife hasn't accepted me yet.

I was stewing potatoes and chicken, adding green peppers to thicken the sauce. I was about to stir-fry some vegetables when I heard a noise not far away.

"what happened?"

"It's Ma Cuilan."

Xiao Yunxi was shocked.

"She's not dead yet?"

She moved the pot down and put a clay pot in to boil water. She wanted to see how tough Ma Cuilan's life was.

"Ma Cuilan, do you still have any shame? Yanhong is divorcing the second brother, and now she's not your daughter-in-law. What does your life or death have to do with him?"

"How shameless! Get out of here!"

"I'll beat you up if you don't leave, believe it or not."

Widow Zhang was spitting and scolding Ma Cuilan. Hu Yanhong looked a little dazed. She didn't expect to see Ma Cuilan and Tang Laoer again.

Without her husband and mother-in-law, she didn't know how happy her life would be.

There is a teacher in the village, and girls can go to school to learn to read and write. She works in a workshop to save up a dowry for her daughter. If the dowry is generous, she can stand up straight in her husband's family in the future.

There was finally hope for the future, but it was ruined by the damn northern barbarians. The road to escape was difficult, and I had to encounter these two worthless creatures. It was really terrible.

"Tang Lao Er, you shouldn't use moral blackmail on your daughters. You are given food to eat because you are their biological father. It is absolutely impossible for the old lady to eat it."

Daya and Erya stood guard beside Hu Yanhong, glaring at her.

Tang Laoer is their biological father, and no matter how much he hates him, he can't just stand by and watch him die. But Ma Cuilan is their murderer, and he wouldn't even feed her to a dog.

Ma Cuilan's mind was a little crazy, probably because she had been suppressed for a long time, or because she felt that she was able to recover.

"You bastard, you will die a miserable death."

"I abused my mother-in-law, broke her legs, and now I want to starve her to death."

The more she cursed, the more unpleasant it became. In the end, she even started telling lies like she had an affair with another man, stole the Tang family's property, and killed her father-in-law. Her main purpose was to disgust people.

The onlookers who didn't know what was going on pointed at Hu Yanhong. Hu Yanhong was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but was stopped by Widow Zhang.

It is not appropriate for a daughter-in-law to hit her mother-in-law, even if she was once her mother-in-law.

Widow Zhang had nothing to do with Ma Cuilan, so it was okay for her to take action. However, before she could go up and tear Ma Cuilan's mouth, Erya rushed out like a cannonball.

boom!

A solid punch hit Ma Cuilan's mouth.

She learned Kung Fu from Xiao Yunxi every day. She was fast and her punches were accurate. She beat Ma Cuilan so hard that she was stunned. Tang Lao Er reached out to grab Erya, but his wrist was clamped tightly.

Bang bang bang.

After a series of punches, Ma Cuilan fell to the ground and Erya retreated.

"Well played."

Xiao Yunxi felt sick when she saw Ma Cuilan. She thought that such a person should die early because he had been causing harm for thousands of years. She looked at Tang Lao Er.

"If you can't control your mother's spitting shit, I don't mind helping you educate her!"

Her words were very hurtful. Tang Lao Er was a little hesitant. Besides, he was controlled by Zhou Jin and it was impossible for him to move.

Ma Cuilan got up and cursed loudly, her teeth hanging out.

"You're not even surnamed Tang, so why are you involved in the affairs of the Tang family? Even Tang Huaiming is a fake, an imposter. You idiots only know how to help outsiders bully us orphans and widows."

The people in Tangjia Village looked at Ma Cuilan as if she were a fool. Did they really think that she was blind and deaf?

She was locked up and cursed people for no reason. The villagers got some of the spoils. Later, the secret guards protected Dabao and the others. Everyone could see that Zhou Jin was not an ordinary person.

In addition, when Zhou Jin came back, his appearance had changed and his legs had improved, so the villagers had some guesses.

Tang Huaiming was sold by Ma Cuilan and Tang Guochen when he was very young. No one knows what he looks like when he grows up. No one can be sure that Zhou Jin is not Tang Huaiming.

None of it matters.

Is it Tang Huaiming or Zhou Jin? It's just a different surname.

Hu Yanhong's surname is not Tang, but Tangjia Village treats her as one of their own. Tang Guochen's surname is Tang, but Tangjia Village will not recognize him either. It's the same principle.
