Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

The yard returned to peace.

The men continued to work, and the courtyard wall had begun to take shape. It was estimated that it would be completed in another day.

The women sat in the sun making clothes,

Xiao Yunxi also followed suit to learn. Her hands were steady and the lines she sewed were straight horizontally and vertically, but the lengths of the threads were different, which made it look a bit unsightly.

The stitches on the clothes made by Tang Xiaowan, who was younger than her, were very fine and neat, even better than those made by other aunts.

"Xiao Wan's cooking skills are amazing, much better than ours."

Aunt Li echoed:

"No girl in our surrounding area can compare to Xiaowan. She is not only beautiful, but also clever and skillful."

Tang Xiaowan's face flushed red as she rubbed her fingers awkwardly, causing everyone to laugh even louder:

"Our Xiaowan is shy."

"Speaking of which, when I turn 16 next year, it's time to get married."

"Does sister-in-law have any favorites?"

Aunt Zhou shook her head:

"No, I thought I'd find a good family for Xiaowan after Daniu gets married."

Tang Xiaowan's head was so low that she couldn't be seen. Xiao Yunxi pulled her to the kitchen to help cook, so as not to be teased by these aunts.

There are many people in the family,

Mrs. Zhou and her group from next door ordered food from her, plus Dr. Lu who was wandering off somewhere, there were 12 people in total.

Hu Zi and his mother, herself and her three children, and five families who helped with the yard renovation, totaling about 30 people.

There's still some braised pork left, and two salted ducks.

There are quite a lot of wild boar ribs left over from yesterday, so I stewed them in a pot and made some chili pork slices and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The main thing is that it would be a waste if the food in the space is not eaten.

There are three large stoves and one small stove outside the kitchen, so you don’t have to mess around with two pots when cooking.

The spareribs were stewed until they were soft and tasty. When the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma filled the air. Aunt Zhou and the others put down their things and prepared to go home, but were pulled by Xiao Yunxi.

"You guys go back. I have to ask Xiaobao to take it over. Just eat here before going back."

Having said that, it would be a bit hypocritical to refuse. Xiao Yunxi's cooking skills were naturally praised by everyone.

"It would be a shame if Yunxi didn't open a restaurant with her cooking skills."

"If we open a restaurant, business will definitely be booming."

Xiao Yunxi smiled and shook her head.

She was not interested in opening a restaurant, and she set up a stall to sell braised meat not to sell the meat, but to sell the recipe. It was okay for her to cook for herself, but it was definitely not okay for her to cook so much and sell it for money.

But you can consider opening a restaurant and becoming the boss behind the scenes.

She cooks delicious food because she stands on the shoulders of giants. She can learn it in just two sessions by hiring a professional chef. Even if she can only cook 5% of her skills, she can definitely dominate Daxia.

There are just too many trivial matters involved in opening a restaurant, and you need some background, otherwise it would be too troublesome. It would be nice if you could find someone to cooperate with.

After eating and drinking, everyone chatted for a while and went back to their homes.

There are a lot of things to do tomorrow. The government officials will come to measure, the workers will also come, and there will be people delivering materials. I will be more energetic if I rest early.

Xiao Yunxi washed the children. Xiaobao got into bed naked. He only had two sets of clothes, both of which were covered in mud and could no longer be put on.

Niu Niu has one more set of clothes than Xiao Bao, because Aunt Li and the others drove her out, otherwise she would also be naked.

The children were energetic during the day and slept soundly at night. When they all fell asleep, Xiao Yunxi rolled up her trouser legs and left home quietly, her destination being Old Lady Lu's house.

Hu Zi from next door just came out. When he saw her figure disappear, he was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to see it and turned back to the house.

Xiao Yunxi went around from the back of the village to the backyard of Old Lady Lu's house. It would be difficult to be discovered if someone was walking around here.

After carefully observing her surroundings and making sure that there was no one around, she grabbed onto the mud wall with both hands, nimbly climbed over it, and tiptoed to the base of the wall of the main house.

inside the house,

An old man who looked to be in his 50s, with hooked eyes and a thin mouth, was talking to Old Lady Lu.

"I heard a lot of people went to that woman's house today to make trouble and betray you. Will that woman cause trouble for us? She dares to kill people."

Old Lady Lu waved her hand indifferently:

"I just shared some gossip while chatting with my family. No one caused any trouble. They went there on their own. What does it have to do with me?"

"But that woman..."

Old Lady Lu interrupted impatiently:

"Don't say but, look at how little you can do. Ma Cuilan gave you five taels!"

The man curled his lips:

"That bitch is so tight-fisted with money. I heard that even her old man and eldest son are struggling to make ends meet while studying in the county. She eats all kinds of delicious food herself. How could she really give you five taels?"

Old Lady Lu laughed triumphantly:

"I know all the bad things she did. If she dares not pay me, I will make her suffer!"

Xiao Yunxi, squatting in the corner, cursed. That bitch actually spent money to make Old Lady Lu disgust her. Five taels at that. What was she trying to do? Was she so rich that she was burning it?

Having said that, it is confirmed that Old Lady Lu and Ma Cuilan are fake sisters.

"Old man, we haven't had that in a long time."

The spring scene in the house seemed to be impossible to contain. Xiao Yunxi's mouth began to twitch. They were all grandmothers, and yet they were still playing so wildly?

But she soon thought that this was ancient times, and women got married early, and basically got married and had children at the age of 16.

Although she is an old lady, she is actually only in her early 40s.

As the saying goes, a woman at thirty is like a wolf, at forty is like a tiger, and at fifty can even suck dirt when sitting on the ground. Old Mrs. Lu is at the age of being as fierce as a wolf and a tiger.

The kerosene lamp was blown out, and the fire inside was burning. She didn't want to listen to the wall.

The space can collect objects within 5 meters. Xiao Yunxi's target is the house, tables, chairs, benches, boxes, food and sundries. Take away everything that can be taken away.

Old Mrs. Lu is very greedy. If she finds out tomorrow that everything in her house is gone, leaving only the kang and quilt, will she vomit blood?

Xiao Yunxi had just finished cleaning when a low roar of relief came from inside the house. She was so angry that she thought, "He's a fast boy!"

Worried that they would light the kerosene lamp and discover that something was missing, Xiao Yunxi sped up her movements and swept away all the debris in the utility room, even the chickens in the chicken coop.

The houses of Old Lady Lu's son and daughter-in-law were not touched. After all, they had not committed any crime against her and had not done anything extreme.

After completing the zero-yuan purchase, Xiao Yunxi quickly fled. When she passed by Ma Cuilan's house, she had the urge to go in and raid it.

Tang Huaiming was able to spend 100 taels to buy her, which was enough to show how rich his family was. All the property, silver and food were taken by Ma Cuilan.

If she could get those properties back, Ma Cuilan would probably vomit blood and die on the spot.

In the end, Xiao Yunxi suppressed the impulse in her heart.

If Ma Cuilan's family assets were emptied, even if she couldn't be found, given Ma Cuilan's personality, knowing that she was rich, she would definitely find a way to make up for it from her.

She doesn't have the strength to confront Zheng Zheng head-on right now, so keep her for now and fatten her up before killing her.

When I got home, I immediately went into my space and counted my spoils.

There were 10 bags of flour, cornmeal and brown rice, 4 old hens, 1 rooster, several tables, chairs and benches, and a big box full of clothes.

Xiao Yunxi disliked the bad luck and burned it in a corner.

The most valuable thing is the box. After breaking the lock, there are quite a few things inside.

There were more than five taels of silver in small change, a lot of copper coins, and something very important, the land deed!

Land deeds do not recognize people. If Xiao Yunxi takes something to grab the land, Old Lady Lu will have no way to deal with her. However, that might expose her own theft, which is unnecessary.

Old Lady Lu's family background was pretty good, and Xiao Yunxi was in a good mood and soon fell asleep. Meanwhile, Mr. Wang's face was filled with worry.
