After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields

Chapter 9 Stepmother’s Kindness

 At the same time, in the Liu family’s old house.

 Old man Liu took a bowl of bitter tea with a few pieces of tea foam floating in it, sat on the big threshold, and looked towards the east end of the village.

 After a while, two figures, one large and one small, ran over from the other side.

“Sir, all the straw in our field has been stolen!” The boy shouted loudly and angrily before anyone came near.

 Old man Liu's eyes, which were narrowed by the bitter tea, suddenly opened, "Stealed? Which unscrupulous person stole it?"

“They were all stolen by Dalang and Erlang from the third family. Some people saw them moving back and forth several times!” Liu Fei replied angrily.

 Old man Liu narrowed his eyes again, oh, that's okay.

The uncle and nephew were panting and stopped at the door of their house. They looked up at Old Man Liu who was drinking bitter tea from two steps away.

 Eight-year-old Liu Jinbao said anxiously: "Master, you promised to make me a new bed this year."

Liu Fei also said: "Dad, do you know what they said? Those who talk about you belong to their father, and what belongs to their father belongs to both of them. It is only natural to take things from your own family. But this makes me mad. I will go and kill us right away. If you take back the straw from home, you are also my father. It is only natural for me to take my own father’s straw!”

"Yes, take it back. I still want a new bed. The old straw is so wet that the rats have almost eaten it up." Liu Jinbao also agreed.

The uncle and nephew rolled up their sleeves and headed towards the village.

Old man Liu hurriedly swallowed the bitter tea in his mouth and shouted: "You two, stop for me!"

The uncle and nephew did not stop until Old Man Liu got angry and shouted again, then they turned around with aggrieved and unhappy faces.

"Your mother has prepared dinner. Let's go home for dinner first." Old man Liu waved to the two of them to come back. He got up and returned to the yard, as if he didn't intend to pursue the matter.

“Dad!” Liu Fei finally couldn’t help but ask, “Did you intentionally leave it in the field for them to steal?”

　　At first, he was just suspicious. The rice at home was taken home to dry after it was cut, for fear that it would be stolen by the skilled people in the village.

But my father decided to leave an acre of land, saying that he would be busy with the wheat in the field first, and he would not be afraid to harvest it later.

Now it seems that it was deliberately reserved for the third child’s family to steal!

 Looking at the old man again, he didn't refute, he felt guilty.

Liu Fei's heart was filled with fire. Feeling aggrieved and angry, he quickly chased after Old Man Liu and fired at his father!

"The straw bed we have at home is not enough. The rats have eaten all the straw under Jinbao's bed. It's going to be cold today, so how can anyone sleep in that bed? It's okay if you don't feel sorry for me. Jinbao is the eldest grandchild in our family. "As a grandfather, you don't feel sorry for him?"

Liu Fei's mouth was as fast as a rapid-fire barrage of words. He didn't get stuck, and he couldn't even speak in one breath without a chance to interrupt.

 Old man Liu endured it and couldn't help it.

Suddenly he turned around, raised the bitter tea bowl in his hand and was about to throw it at him, "You stinky boy, why are you talking to your father? I can do whatever I want, so what do you need me to do?" !”

Liu Fei raised his chest and asked without fear of death: "Father, why are you so determined? What's so good about Liu Laosan?"

Old man Liu's eyes suddenly bulged, "What's so good about him? There's nothing good about him. I wish I had never given birth to such a scoundrel!"

　　At the end, he added: "And you, Liu Fei, are such a scumbag. If you talk back to me again, I will beat you to death for being an unfilial son who disobeys my elders!"

 After saying that, he raised his tea bowl and was about to deal with Liu Fei. Fortunately, his family members gathered around and separated the two of them, so Liu Fei escaped.

Old man Liu was sitting in the main room angrily. His step-wife Zhang, while winking at her youngest son and telling him to hurry into the house and stop being stubborn with his father, helped Old man Liu and sighed:

"I know you are worried about the third child, and the third child is really worried. It is not good to provoke anyone, but Lin Erbao." "But fortunately it is Lin Erbao. I have never heard that anyone died if I could not repay my debt to them. All of them are sent to the village and the mine to work as mortgages to pay off debts. This old man has been messing around for so many years. He should suffer a little. Maybe his temper will change? "

An ordinary stepmother would not dare to say such a thing, for fear that the old man would think that she was unkind and wanted to harm the children in the family.

But it has been sixteen years since the Zhang family came to the Liu family. Except for the eldest Liu Bai, who was old enough to be independent at that time, the remaining Liu Zhong and Liu Ji were all brought up by her. They were brought up with kindness, and it is better not to have a biological child.

If you didn't really want Liu Ji's good, you wouldn't be so cruel as to teach him a lesson.

 Ms. Zhang had already guessed about the straw in the field, and she just saw through it without revealing it.

It's going to be cold today. The third family only has a new daughter-in-law who just arrived and doesn't know anything. If we don't leave some straw for them, how will they survive this winter?

 But Mrs. Zhang was also very angry. Da Lang Erlang was taught by Liu Ji's father to be really unpleasant. He didn't know how to shout when he saw people, and he didn't know how to say thank you when he gave them things.

As for the straw in the field, the two brothers never thought of telling their father before taking it, so they decided to do it secretly.

Is it possible that he can still watch them freeze to death?

There is also Qin Yao, a mother who is ignorant as a child. She is also so ignorant as an adult. The third child has been in trouble for two days and has not even come here.

“Could it be that she really wants the third child to die outside and never come back?” What Zhang was thinking in her heart came out accidentally.

Old man Liu was startled and slowly looked at his wife, "Isn't this possible?"

Zhang suddenly had goosebumps all over her body, and the memory of the day she first met Qin Yao appeared in front of her eyes. She looked fragile and her eyes were timid, so she didn't seem to be cruel.

But she came here as a refugee. A girl who could walk from the northwest to their central plains was not something ordinary women could do.

Having seen too many dangers, what if my heart becomes hardened?

 It’s over!

 Old man Liu and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other with a bad feeling.

The two daughters-in-law made a meal and asked their parents-in-law to come over to eat. They had been busy planting winter wheat these days, and the men in the family were physically exhausted, so the two daughters-in-law made the meal richer.

 Usually it’s rice porridge with fine bran steamed buns. Today, on top of that, there’s also a big bowl of egg and loofah soup.

 Jin Bao, the son of Liu Bai's family, and Jin Hua, the five-year-old daughter of Liu Zhong's family, were holding the half bowl of egg soup they were given and drank it up, it was so fragrant.

Others in the family are also very happy, and the bitterness of hard work has faded a lot.

 Only Mr. Liu and Mrs. Zhang had no appetite for the fragrant egg soup. All they could think about was what the third wife's new daughter-in-law, Qin Yao, was doing at this time.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Mrs. Zhang put down the bowl and sent her eldest grandson, who had finished drinking the egg soup, "Jinbao, go to your third aunt's house and see what they are doing. Come back and tell me."

Liu Jinbao responded with an oh, thought of straw before leaving, and looked at Liu Fei, "Brother-in-law, should we go to Third Uncle's house to get straw?"

Liu Fei scooped up another half bowl of egg soup, poured it on the fine bran steamed buns, and chewed the soup like an enemy, without paying any attention to him.

Liu Jinbao had no choice but to run to the innermost part of the village alone.
