Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Back home,

Put soybeans, star anise, cinnamon and a little salt into the ceramic pot, pour lard into the jar, 4 full jars, no need to worry about oil for cooking!

The aroma of lard filled the kitchen. Xiaobao, who was stoking the fire, stared blankly and scratched his head. Xiao Yunxi knew what he was thinking.

Give him a piece of lard,

"Eat."

Food comes first, everything else is just a passing cloud.

Fried and crispy, the oil is all over the bite, the aroma of meat hits the taste buds, squinting your eyes and savoring it carefully, full of happiness,

After the lard was refined, Xiao Yunxi prepared to cook dinner.

I can't make complicated dishes, I just want to keep it simple and crude.

Put the ribs and heart meat into the pot and blanch them, pick them out and clean the blood foam, put clean water back into the pot, put the ribs and heart meat into the pot, sprinkle some salt, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, remove two pieces of firewood, and simmer over low heat.

Cornmeal mixed with water,

Tang Xiaobao was still sucking the oil off his fingers, not paying attention to her. He took out a few freshly laid rooster eggs from the space, cracked them in, and threw the eggshells into the space.

The cornmeal was mixed into a dry paste, and the broth was almost done. When the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of the meat intoxicated Xiaobao:

"smell good!"

Tang Niuniu in the room stuck out her butt, slid down from the kang, stumbled into the kitchen, stared at the big pot and licked her fingers.

The big eyes and blinking eyelashes melted Xiao Yunxi's heart.

Pick her up and tap her nose:

"Niuniu, do you want to eat some meat?"

Tang Niuniu's big eyes were full of desire for food, but she didn't dare to ask for food, because her mother always ate the good things first.

How could Xiao Yunxi not understand? She kissed her and said softly:

"Call me mother, and I'll give you some meat."

Compared to food, bad women don't seem so scary. Tang Niuniu performed a real-life version of "whoever has milk is the mother". Without hesitation, she called out crisply:

"cold……"

"Yes, mother."

"It's Liang..."

Well, it's all the same.

She picked up a piece of stewed heart-protecting meat with chopsticks, blew it cool and brought it to her mouth. Tang Niuniu took a gulp, her little mouth stuffed full, squinting her eyes and dancing with joy:

"Good times!"

"Meaty is good."

Tang Xiaobao's saliva was already flowing like a river, and he was struggling whether to take the initiative to speak. If he was asked to call her mother, would he rebel like his sister?

He is a baby with a bottom line. If he betrays me, I will punish him!

His little face was as tangled as a bun, which was really adorable. Xiao Yunxi picked up a piece of meat and handed it to his mouth.

"Eat."

"You don't have to call me mother."

It seems like I’ve been disliked!

Tang Xiaobao grabbed the meat with his hands and gobbled it up, gulping it down hard because it was so hot, but he was reluctant to spit it out.

inside the house,

Tang Dabao clenched his fists nervously. Usually, Xiao Yunxi ate the good things, and the rest were theirs. How could his stepmother actually give meat to his younger brothers and sisters?

Is it poisonous?

He kind of regretted not stopping his younger siblings.

Xiao Yunxi didn't know what Dabao was thinking. She picked up a piece of pork ribs, which were soft and boneless. She put the golden cornmeal paste along the edge of the pot, covered the pot and simmered it for about ten minutes.

When I opened the lid of the pot again, the rich aroma of corn and meat mixed together and spread out. It was a bit intoxicating at the first smell.

The tortillas were scooped into a large bowl, and each person received a bowl of broth piled high with generous portions of meat.

When the food was served, Xiao Yunxi clapped her hands and announced:

"Let's eat!"

Tang Xiaobao and Tang Niuniu stared at the food on the table, their mouths drooling, but they resisted the temptation and did not move their chopsticks.

If it was poisonous, his brother and sister would have died long ago. He nodded, and the two of them cheered and hugged the bowl that was bigger than their faces tightly, stuffing meat into their mouths in big mouthfuls.

"Brother, eat quickly, it's delicious"

"Big pot is good!"

The two little guys were eating with their mouths full of oil, and they didn't forget to urge their eldest brother to eat too.

Milky white broth, mushy meat chunks, golden corn tortillas. They had never eaten such delicious food since Dad left.

Tang Dabao suppressed his inner turmoil and picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into his mouth.

The ribs were stewed until they were soft and tender. A light sip of them instantly removed the bones. The aroma of the meat danced between the lips and teeth. Dabao's movements unconsciously quickened a bit.

The mother and her two children were so engrossed in the delicious food that they didn't notice the overpowering aroma of the stewed meat. This actually attracted the curiosity of the villagers passing by, who glanced towards the yard.

The sharp-eyed people noticed pork covered with straw in the yard!

Although he was very greedy for meat, he had no evil intentions. He was just a big mouth and kept saying to everyone:

"Old Six's family is having some meat!"

I don't know where Huaimin's wife got the meat from, but she stewed it to perfection."

I advise you not to spread the word, as the original meaning may be difficult to understand. If the word is passed on, it will be completely distorted and become more and more outrageous as it is passed on:

"Have you heard that Huai Ming's family hunted a wild boar from the mountain?"

"It's said that wild boars weigh 5 to 6 kilograms!"

"Huai Ming's family was caught stealing meat?"

that's it,

The news that Xiao Yunxi had a large amount of pork hidden in her home spread like wildfire, and finally reached the ears of her mother-in-law Ma Cuilan, who directly accused her of stealing men in exchange for meat.

Tang family,

The 200-jin Ma Cuilan bounced up from the kang at a speed that defied common sense of physics:

"Bitch! How dare you cheat on my son?

"I bother!"

"She has meat but doesn't know how to honor her mother-in-law. She only knows how to keep it for herself. I'm going to teach her a lesson today!!"

She jumped off the kang and ran out of the house so fast that it felt like even Newton couldn't hold down the coffin lid.

The fifth daughter-in-law shouted loudly:

"Hey! Third and fourth sons, you guys come and protect mom, I'll stay home... Go quickly!"

The fourth son’s wife cursed: We do the bad things, and you eat the most meat!

The third son’s wife: You want us to do the dirty and tiring work and stay out of it yourself? No way!

When you go out,

The two of them took the two children from Lao Wu's family with them. Ma Cuilan doted on Lao Wu's children the most. They were fat and strong, so they should be the ones to serve as meat shields in the front.

The eldest daughter-in-law watched all this with a cold eye, and the idea of ​​dividing the family became stronger and stronger.

The second son's wife continued to clean silently. Good things never came to her, but she always had a share in the bad things. As long as she did her job, it would be over.

When Ma Cuilan and her men came in a mighty force, Xiao Yunxi was holding Tang Niuniu and carrying a piece of pork belly as they walked towards the village chief's house.

Tomorrow she wants to borrow a bullock cart to go to town to sell meat.

The climate in the northwest is dry, so even if the temperature is low, the pork must be processed as soon as possible to prevent it from losing moisture and becoming hard on the surface, making it difficult to sell at a good price.

"You killed a wild boar?"

The village chief's eyes widened like bells, his dark face filled with shock.

Xiao Yunxi emphasized:

"It wasn't beaten to death! It was a pig that fell into a pit! Dabao and I found it when it was almost dead. It was pure luck."

Hares hitting trees and pheasants falling into pits have all happened before, and now it seems reasonable to change it to wild boars.

The village chief tapped the sole of his shoe with his pipe, a little unconvinced. He wanted to go back with Xiao Yunxi to take a look. They had not walked far when a small figure came running towards them. It was Aunt Li's grandson Goudan.

"Something happened at home."

He gasped and shouted, and the village chief's face suddenly turned dark:

"What happened?"

Goudan is young, running a little fast, and speaking incoherently:

"Grandpa...that shrew...shrew stole the meat, and Dabao...Xiaobao got beaten...beaten!"

There is only one person in the village who Goudan calls a shrew, and that is her mother-in-law Ma Cuilan.

It turns out that these are the three laws that cannot be avoided after rebirth: the missing husband, the stepson with a hidden identity, and the vicious mother-in-law.

She handed Niuniu in her arms to the village chief and rushed up the hillside. As soon as she reached the top of the hillside, she saw the dilapidated fence surrounded by villagers and Xiaobao crying angrily:

"You're not my grandma!"

"I don't have tits like you!"

"You are a bad guy, stealing my meat."

Then came the sharp and piercing curses:

"You little bastard, you have a mother but no mother to teach you. You dare to yell at your elders? I will tear your mouth apart."

Xiao Yunxi's heart tightened. Just as she was about to rush into the yard, she heard Aunt Li's voice from next door:

"Ma Cuilan! Try moving!"

When the villagers saw Xiao Yunxi coming back, they immediately made way for her. Their faces had complicated expressions, including disappointment, contempt, regret, and even greed.

Xiao Yunxi had no time to care about the villagers' inner world at the moment. She pushed open the gate anxiously, and the scene before her made her eyes bloodshot.

Aunt Li stood in front of a fat woman weighing 200 pounds. Beside the fat woman were two fat and big-eared boys, who stood with their hands on their hips and looked arrogant and domineering.

The pork was dragged out and scattered all over the ground,

Tang Dabao was lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper, bloodless. The wooden planks that fixed his joints had fallen off, and he could only use his thin arms to support his body.

His eyes were bloodshot, revealing a fierce murderous intent that could burst out at any time.

Tang Xiaobao was sitting on the ground, his eyes were red and swollen, his hair was messy, his patched clothes were torn to shreds, and there were several clearly visible slap marks on his face.

Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath, trying to suppress the rage surging in her heart. She pulled Xiaobao up, brushed off the dust on his body, picked up Dabao and carried him back into the house.

After being bullied, children will feel more aggrieved and often cry louder when they see their parents. Tang Dabao and Tang Xiaobao's reactions are completely opposite.

Tang Xiaobao pursed his lips, stopped crying, lowered his head and followed Xiao Yunxi silently, like a child who had done something wrong.

Tang Dabao stared at Xiao Yunxi intently, his eyes revealing deep hatred without any concealment.

What a sin!

The original owner either beat or scolded her children and had a bad attitude towards the villagers. She was only afraid of her mother-in-law Ma Cuilan because her weight of 200 pounds was too great an advantage.

The children were bullied by Ma Cuilan's grandson. If they fought back, Ma Cuilan would become even more aggressive towards the original owner, and the original owner would vent her anger on the children.

Over time, no matter how badly they were bullied, they never fought back, but today they couldn't help themselves!

Xiao Yunxi sighed secretly.

Changing your image in the children's minds is not something that can be done overnight. The appearance of Ma Cuilan may be an opportunity.

"Just lie still and I'll avenge you."

Tang Xiaobao's mouth formed an O shape, and Dabao's expression was even more amusing. What kind of lewd words was this woman saying? Revenge?

Xiao Yunxi looked serious, not joking. Could it be that the bad woman had really changed?

A hint of anticipation welled up in their hearts.
