Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Tangjia Village is shrouded in darkness, quiet and peaceful.

The mountains in the distance were blurry like an ink painting, and the sound of flowing water outside the village was particularly clear in the quiet night. Such a harmonious picture was broken by screams.

"Ahhh!"

"Come out quickly, I can't hold it anymore!"

"Let me first, let me first!"

"Get out of here, let the dean..."

Pfft!

Those who were familiar with the voice and those who were not familiar with it fell silent.

The villagers rushed out with hoes and shoulder poles.

"Are bandits coming?"

"Where is he? I want to avenge my great grandfather!"

"It seems to be the home of a minister."

The villagers blocked the door of Tang Guochen's house and banged on it frantically. The people inside responded,

"Break the door open!"

They broke open the gate and rushed into the yard, smelling a heady odor that became stronger as they got closer to the house, until they saw the third and fourth sons of the Tang family holding onto the door frame, their bodies stiff, with a pool of unidentified objects under their feet.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

The villagers fled frantically, vomiting as they ran, and some even cursed:

"Do you have any sense of public morality? You urinate and defecate anywhere!"

"How old is he, and he still poops his pants!"

"What bad luck!"

Tang Guochen's family was not popular in the village to begin with, and now their reputation has become even worse, literally.

Xiao Yunxi knew what was going on and didn't run over to join in the fun. However, Tang Hao and Fan Chunhua ran faster than rabbits and soon came back cursing.

"Luckily my sister-in-law didn't go. To use the word you said... it was an eyesore."

"Ouch! The two Tang brothers were standing by the door to poop, while the woman pooped directly inside the house. Tang Guochen was fighting over the toilet, but the dean they hired ended up pooping in his trouser pocket..."

The couple are professionals at eating melons. They can even tell the position of every member of the Tang family. It's really amazing.

Xiaobao slides his two index fingers across his face:

"I didn't poop my pants when I was 5, but adults still poop their pants."

Niuniu followed suit:

"Shy."

Dabao and Xiao Yunxi both looked at her. Did this girl choose to forget about wetting the bed last night?

The whole village was in chaos. The fourth child of the Tang family, who was the least "injured", came to ask for Dr. Lu.

"Two taels of silver."

The fourth brother's pale face turned rosy:

"It's just a medical consultation, and you want two taels, why don't you grab it!"

Doctor Lu looked up with his nose in the air:

"Am I not robbing?"

"..."

It made so much sense that he was speechless. The fourth brother couldn't make a decision, so he went back to ask for instructions and soon came back with the silver. Doctor Lu went over reluctantly.

After coming back, he looked at Xiao Yunxi with a strange look.

The Tang family's diarrhea was caused by consuming a large amount of croton.

That stuff is very potent. Taking a small amount will cause diarrhea. Taking a large amount of it will cause diarrhea. It is definitely not something the Tang family took themselves, but someone else drugged them.

Croton seeds are spicy when used directly. After being processed and ground into powder, they are difficult to detect when added to dishes with strong flavors. Xiao Yunxi is probably the only person in Tangjia Village who understands this.

I had guesses in my mind, but I didn't say them out loud.

He stayed in the village for a while, and the Tang family was not a good family. Even if they died, it had nothing to do with him.

The village returned to peace, with only the occasional crackling sound coming from the Tang family, like mercury pouring on the ground.

After the children fell asleep, Xiao Yunxi came to the utility room.

The jade that Zhuzi sent was actually a rough stone. Whether it could be opened into jade depended entirely on luck. He put all the rough stones into the space.

Starlight appeared on the surface of the raw stone, and then slowly disappeared. Before Xiao Yunxi could observe whether there were any changes in the space, she was bounced out of the space.

After about 5 minutes, I went back in and found that the space had become bigger!

Behind the chicken coop and duck coop, there is a pond, about one acre in size, covered with lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and crayfish crawling around the pond.

Crayfish freedom seems pretty good.

The appearance of the pond further confirmed Xiao Yunxi's guess.

The layout of the space is the same as that of an orphanage, which means that behind the foggy barrier beside the well is where she lives, and there are a lot of good things in it!

Especially books,

If she had those textbooks, she wouldn't have to make up her own lessons for the children.

The space changed, and Xiao Yunxi was in a very happy mood. She returned to the kang and closed her eyes beautifully. The Tang family was completely shrouded in dark clouds.

The dean refused to come out of the guest room. Tang Huaian wanted to apologize in person, but was stopped by the servant. He moved back to the room with trembling legs and sighed.

"Husband, I personally supervised the meals, there's no way there could be any problems. Is someone playing tricks on me?"

"Alas, it's useless to say this now. It's a fact that the dean is embarrassed."

Scholars attach great importance to their reputation. If they pull their pants, it will be one thing, but if they are seen by the villagers, the consequences will be very serious.

"What should we do then? Will it affect the provincial examination next spring?"

Tang Huaian shook his head.

The imperial examinations were conducted under the guise of blindly marking papers. It was very risky to target someone. The dean did not need to do this. He was worried that if he failed the exam this year,

I'm afraid he will have to walk on thin ice in the academy from now on.

The next day, before dawn, Xiao Yunxi got up secretly, went around the back of the village to Ma Cuilan's house, did some work, and then returned home.

Dabao has already gotten up and is practicing boxing in the yard.

He is very smart and can learn anything quickly. For example, he can already perform this set of boxing very skillfully.

"Come here and fight with mother."

The Eighteen Black Moves emphasizes practical combat. Xiao Yunxi feeds Dabao the moves so that he can respond flexibly to various changes.

At Aunt Li's house next door, Erya pursed her lips, stared with longing eyes,

Xiao Yunxi beckoned her over:

"Want to learn?"

"Ah."

"Why should I learn?"

"I want to protect my mother and sister."

The little girl was very thin, and her limbs seemed to break if bent. She walked unsteadily. Her clothes were washed white and full of patches. Her shoes were full of holes, and her toes were exposed.

Even though this daughter lives a difficult life, there is light in her eyes, which reflects her longing and expectation for the future. This is probably the change brought about by leaving the Tang family.

"Auntie can teach you boxing, but you have to help me with the work, okay?"

The little girl nodded excitedly:

"I can do everything, including washing clothes, cooking, chopping wood, and farming."

A girl who is so sensible that it makes people sad,

He is so thin that he can hardly walk steadily. His calcium deficiency is even more serious than Xiaobao's.

When Tang Huaiming was still around, Dabao and Xiaobao had no worries about food and drink, and Ma Cuilan didn't dare to starve them. Erya was really suffering from long-term malnutrition.

When she was learning boxing, although she tried very hard to do it well, her body did not allow it. She was twisting and turning, and could not do it smoothly.

Xiao Yunxi encouraged her and said she did a great job. She gave her a bowl of goat milk and egg noodles for breakfast.

"No, no, Auntie, I'll go back and eat."

The girl was very reserved and wanted to go back, but Xiao Yunxi pressed her down on the bench.

"You help me with laundry, cooking, farming, and chopping wood. Think of it as paying for my meals. Helpers in my family are paid and given meals. You don't get paid, so I'm taking advantage of you."

"But....."

"If you want to learn boxing from me, you have to listen to me."

Erya picked up the goat milk and drank it down in gulps. Even though she didn't like the taste of goat milk, she forced herself to swallow it.

She wants to learn boxing and be as good as her aunt.
