Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Children have completely different attitudes towards learning.

Xiaobao doesn't like studying. He scratches his head and can't sit still.

Niuniu is young and ignorant, shaking her head and moving her head around, she is just having fun, how much she can remember is unknown,

Dabao is very talented. He can remember everything after being taught once. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a child prodigy.

The two little guys squinted their eyes, feeling extremely sleepy. Xiao Yunxi finished her study for the day, but Dabao stared with his eyes wide open, showing no sign of sleepiness at all.

He can deeply appreciate the greatness of Pinyin.

It is simple and easy to learn. If we can compile all the existing characters into a book and mark the pinyin like the stepmother did, as long as we learn the pinyin, we can learn to recognize characters by ourselves.

Learning to read and write does not necessarily require going to school. By promoting education, many children from poor families can also learn.

It doesn’t seem to work either.

The cost of paper was too high, and compiling all the text into a book would require a lot of money, which children from poor families could not afford.

Dabao was thinking about all sorts of things and fell asleep unknowingly. Xiao Yunxi never thought that he could think of the concept of dictionary through her actions. He was simply a genius!

After a busy day, Xiao Yunxi's breathing soon became even.

The village gradually fell into silence, with the occasional barking of dogs breaking the stillness of the night. At some point, three dark shadows quietly appeared in front of Xiao Yunxi's house.

They touched the fence carefully and whispered:

"Boss, what should we do?"

The leading shadow lowered his voice:

"Rush into the house first and control the people inside. Don't let them shout out and alert others. Get the money and leave immediately."

"The old woman said this woman is very pretty..."

Snapped!

The younger brother who was speaking received a solid slap on the head.

"We only seek wealth. We are not allowed to do anything that harms the world, let alone hurt others. Anyone who does something that harms the world is not my brother!"

The beaten little brother rubbed his head in frustration:

"I'm just talking nonsense, big brother, don't you know my character?"

"It's good to know."

The eldest brother took the lead and climbed in from the fence. The younger brother was careless and had no intention of being cautious. He jumped in directly. The noise was a bit loud, which startled Xiao Yunxi in the house.

She suddenly opened her eyes, crouched quietly behind the door, and looked through the crack in the door with a cold gaze into the courtyard.

There are three figures in the moonlight.

He looked a little thin, and was wearing cotton clothes that had not been washed for who knows how long. He looked very sloppy, and looked more like a beggar than Xiaobao and Niuniu before.

They seemed very unprofessional and made a lot of noise. Dabao was awakened and sat up suddenly. He found a figure squatting at the door. Just as he was about to shout,

Xiao Yunxi stepped forward and covered his mouth:

"Yes, mother!"

Dabao breathed a sigh of relief when he smelled the familiar scent on Xiao Yunxi.

"There are thieves outside, protect your younger brothers and sisters."

In the corner is a disassembled table.

Dabao followed suit and chose a shorter table leg, holding it tightly in his hand. Xiao Yunxi chose a long and thick one and squatted by the door.

There were three thieves in total, and she didn't know if they had any weapons. It would be too risky to rush out rashly, so she wanted to catch them in the trap.

The leading thief was almost at the door when his right eye suddenly twitched wildly, as if he was being watched.

He turned his head suddenly and looked behind him.

The moon was bright tonight, and he could clearly see the surroundings. There was no one around. Just when he was hesitating whether to retreat, the little brother next to him suddenly jumped out.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The younger brother is obviously a bit of a tiger. He kicked the door open and rushed in, only to be greeted by a stick of punishment.

boom!

He used his face to catch the blade, and his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

The leader reached out to grab the younger brother, but he had already rushed in with all his might.

boom! !

The same way was brought down.

The leader's scalp was tingling. The people in the house were ruthless and were definitely not ordinary people. The dead old woman said that there were only women in the house, which was totally nonsense!

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind: go back and call for help!

He turned and ran, a gust of wind blew behind him, one foot stepped over the fence, and someone grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.

thump!

He fell on his back, and then was hit in the face by a small but very powerful fist. His eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself being dragged on the ground by someone grabbing his hair. His back was burning with pain. He had run into a tough guy when he entered the house!

Xiao Yunxi dragged the man into the kitchen and tied him up.

Xiaobao and Niuniu were sleeping soundly, not affected by the outside world at all. Dabao put down the table leg in his hand, carefully got off the kang, lit the kerosene lamp, and brought it into the kitchen.

With the help of the light, Xiao Yunxi could clearly see the appearance of the three people. They looked very young and probably not very old.

"Name, where are you from, and why did you think of stealing from my house?"

The leading boy stared at her without saying a word. Xiao Yunxi slapped him:

"My patience is limited. Should I tell you or not?"

Still silent,

Xiao Yunxi sneered and stuffed a rag covered in oil into one of their mouths. This action was indeed very confusing. Why did she not block their mouths just now, but block them now?

What does it mean to block someone? Is there any difference in treatment for blocking someone's mouth?

Click.

With a crisp sound, the brother who was stuffed with a rag was sweating profusely, twisting his body in pain, making a whimpering sound, and his legs were strangely bent.

"Can you tell me now?"

Still silent,

Xiao Yunxi didn't waste any words and stuffed a rag into the second person's mouth.

"I said! I said!"

"Very good... What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Zhao Hu, from Lujiazhuang,"

Lujiazhuang is the village next to Tangjia Village. It is much larger than Tangjia Village, with more than 100 households. It is a mixed population of people with the surname Lu and other surnames, which is different from Tangjia Village, which only has people with the surname Tang.

"I remember that all the people from other families who were settled in Lujiazhuang were border troops. Are you a family member of a border soldier?"

"Ah."

Zhao Hu was in a low mood, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Xiao Yunxi frowned. She used to be a soldier and had a natural affinity for the border troops.

His tone softened in a rare moment.

"Since you are the family of a border soldier, why are you stealing? Your family sacrificed their lives for the court and are true heroes. You are bringing shame to them by doing this."

Hu Zi raised his head suddenly, and became extremely excited:

"Heroes? Who thinks they are heroes? Who cares if they are heroes or not?"

"My father and three brothers died in the war. The government withheld our pensions, and the landlords seized our land. When we went to complain, the village head had my mother and me beaten. My mother is bedridden and has no money for medical treatment. This is the kind of honor anyone can have!"

Zhao Hu's eyes were red, as if he was thinking of something sad, and he was crying. Xiao Yunxi was silent for a while.

It is the fate of soldiers to die on the battlefield and be wrapped in their horsehide. It is outrageous that the government treats the families of soldiers in this way, making them bleed and cry!

It's really sad that Daxia has become so corrupt after a hundred years of establishment.

Xiao Yunxi was a little annoyed by the crying:

"Don't cry, I'll go to your house later. If you're not lying, I won't report you to the police, and I'll even help your mother get treatment..."

Zhao Hu shed tears:

"Really?"

"Don't be too happy too soon. If you lie, you won't be able to bear the consequences... Now answer my question, why did you choose to come to my house to steal things?"

The environment where Xiao Yunxi lives now is definitely not something a thief would look down upon unless they know something.

"It was Old Lady Lu. She said you made a lot of money doing business and that you made five taels of silver from treating patients. She said there was no man in your family and that you were very beautiful. We just wanted to ask for money and didn't intend to do anything bad."

"What is your relationship with Old Lady Lu? Why did she tell you this?"

"Old Lady Lu didn't tell us on purpose. She ran back to her parents' home in the afternoon and told us the story in front of many people at the village entrance."

Xiao Yunxi's face darkened.

There are some thieves in every village. Old Lady Lu seems to be gossipy, but in fact she is deliberately spreading the news that her family is rich and beautiful.

As long as someone has evil thoughts, Xiao Yunxi may be doomed. Such people are not only bad, but also vicious.
