Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

A large number of strangers have appeared in the village recently. Some are from villages far away from Tangjia Village, and they come to inquire about the purchase of soy milk. Some are suspicious.

"Some are trying to get information about you and Dabao under the guise of snooping around the soy milk business. Some are very interested in tofu and want to buy it. Some are said to be secretly trying to acquire the tofu formula and manufacturing process at a high price... In any case, they don't seem like good people."

When Xiao Yunxi returned, many people gathered at the village entrance, including many vendors. It was said that Tangjia Village had become the center of the universe.

Building a house and farming at home requires long-term employment of laborers. Tofu shops purchase soy milk and water. There is a large flow of people coming and going. The surrounding villages are also preparing to build houses and need workers.

The entrance to the village has almost become a small market, with a mixed crowd whose identities are difficult to discern, and many people with ill intentions, posing a great challenge to the safety of the village.

"The village chief said he wanted to set up a village protection team and was waiting for you to come back to discuss it."

"Village protection team?"

"Just last night, the remnants of the Piaomiao Peak bandits attacked a village in the next county. Many people died, and the villagers are worried that those people will cause trouble for Tangjia Village."

The people who attacked Tangjia Village were border troops, but they could not make it public. They said it was bandits. They killed a lot of "bandits" during the funeral. If the bandits retaliated,

The most likely choice is Tangjia Village,

The stationed centurions will definitely leave in the end, and can only rely on themselves in the end.

Many large villages have village protection teams. When there are conflicts between villages and when fighting for water sources, they are the main force. Tangjia Village is small and shares the village head with Majia Village.

Ma Bide did not allow them to establish a village protection team, but now that Ma Bide is gone, there is no problem in establishing a village protection team.

.....

Old Lady Lu's home welcomed a special guest, the housekeeper Zhang from the provincial capital. With him was Old Lady Lu's cousin, who was from the Lu Family Village Tiger Hunting Team.

"Aunt, this is the steward of the Zhang family in the prefecture. After the matter is completed, I will give you 100 taels, which is more than you can save in your entire life."

"Brother Dajiang has become disabled, and the family has lost a young and strong person. This money can also be used for retirement."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!"

Tang Mazi wanted to say something but stopped himself. Old Lady Lu glared at him fiercely and he lowered his head in silence.

"I can agree to this, but let me be frank. If Xiao Yunxi finds out, the mission will fail, and I won't refund the money."

"no problem."

Housekeeper Zhang handed the money to Old Lady Lu and gave her a packet of medicine powder:

"Use a smaller dose. We only want money, not to kill anyone."

"Natural nature."

Zhang Guanjia left Old Lady Lu's house and gave 100 taels to Old Lady Lu's cousin.

"Go out and hide for a while, and don't come back for a while."

"understand."

He took the money and left happily. Butler Zhang sneered and ordered the servants in the dark:

"Once he leaves Luochuan, we'll get rid of him."

"yes...."

"This family has someone watching her. If she takes the poison, they will kill her immediately!"

Don't cause any deaths?

Ha ha!

How can we get the recipe without killing anyone?

Lu family,

Tang Mazi finally spoke:

"Old woman, you dare to take this kind of money? Are you going to die?"

"It's just a laxative, why don't you take it?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? What if someone gives you poison and it kills someone?"

"No, I know what I'm doing."

Old Lady Lu raised her eyebrows at her husband and smiled. Bribing her with 100 taels? Who is he looking down on?

No one outside knew about it, but everyone in the village knew that Old Lady Lu had 100 taels of silver in her bank account.

That night,

Old Lady Lu and Tang Mazi thought that the people who attacked the village were bandits and their son was captured by the bandits. They went crazy and chopped everyone they saw.

Good guy,

The couple was also lucky. The two people who were injured by Xiao Yunxi died under their hoes, and the reward money was given to them.

Besides,

Is Xiao Yunxi someone who can offend anyone?

She didn't know whether the poison could kill people, but she would definitely be split in half. Old Lady Lu was mean, but not stupid.

Tang family,

The eldest daughter-in-law's father was also there.

"The evidence is irrefutable. If one person confesses, one can be saved. Otherwise, both will be killed."

"this...."

One is her husband and the other is her son. Ma Cuilan can't decide.

The fifth daughter-in-law's eyes rolled around:

"Mother-in-law, my eldest brother is a scholar and has the opportunity to take the imperial examination. In the future, you will be the mother of an imperial scholar."

Ma Cuilan straightened up instantly.

"Protect the little one, protect the little one!"

Xiao Yunxi purchased so many things this time that it took her a whole day to sort them out. At noon the next day after she came back, she inspected the construction site and the replanted wheat.

Although there is space for cultivation, the survival rate of wheat is not high. Her idea is to grow as many as possible. She just came home to check the children's homework.

Tang Hao rushed in,

"Excuse me!"

Xiao Yunxi rolled her eyes at him. What she said was really easy to say. Tang Hao took a breath and said a piece of really big news.

"Tang Huaian pleaded guilty, and Tang Guochen was released!"

“…”

The strategy of protecting Tang Jiayi is correct, but what the hell is protecting Tang Guochen?

Tang Huaian is young, the eldest son in the family, and has a talent for studying. He is a middle-level scholar in the academy and has the opportunity to eat imperial food and take the imperial examination.

Tang Guochen,

After studying hard for more than 30 years, he still couldn't pass the exam to become a scholar and was still an old student. Why did you bring him back so that he could study for the rise of the Tang family?

Eat melon!

Must eat melon!

Looking at his stepmother's disappearing back, Dabao shook his head helplessly. She was so old, but she was not steady at all.

"Mom, wait for me!"

Xiaobao dropped his pen and ran away, and Niuniu followed him:

"Wait for me..."

The entrance of the village,

When Xiao Yunxi arrived, Tang Huaian was being escorted by yamen runners to the county town.

The eldest son's wife burst into tears, and Ma Cuilan also sat on the ground wailing. It was clearly agreed that Tang Guochen would confess the crime, so why did he take her son, a juren, away?

"Boss, what's going on? What's going on?"

Tang Guochen looked embarrassed. It was indeed agreed that he would take the blame, but when he heard that he would be sentenced to 10 years and might even be exiled, he became scared and decisively sold his son.

He had a serious face:

"My son made a mistake and he must be punished. As a father, I failed to educate him well. It is my fault!"

"Boss! Reform yourself and become a new man. Dad is waiting for you to come back home."

Tang Huaian was like a walking corpse. He still couldn't believe that his own father was reporting him. The key point was that he didn't do it!

The eldest daughter-in-law watched her husband leave, then wiped away her tears and stared at Tang Guochen:

"I want to separate the family!"

Xiao Yunxi touched her chin. Something was strange, definitely strange. Just as she was thinking about it, someone next to her stuffed something into her hand.

Turn around,

Old Mrs. Lu’s 5-year-old granddaughter grinned at her.
