"I can't accept this. The ox cart is for you to use. Just give me ten cents." The village chief thought about their family's current situation and refused to accept it.

"Village Chief, I know I have done many wrong things in the past, and I know I am wrong now. Please keep this money.

Your ox cart costs thirty coins a day, and I can't pay you thirty coins for using it for a day."

Lin Shuang was very grateful to the village chief, but she could not treat others as fools or take other people's kindness for granted.

After the Xiao couple went to the county town, the village chief provided a lot of help to the Xiao family.

"This..." The village chief was a little at a loss when he saw Lin Shuang's attitude.

The village chief's wife saw this scene outside the kitchen door. With a smile on her face, she wiped her wet hands on her apron a few times and walked quickly to the two of them.

"Lin Shuang, you are here to return the ox cart, right? Just listen to your uncle and give him ten cents. There is no need for us to be polite to each other." The village chief's wife said with a smile.

Hearing the village head's wife say the same thing, Lin Shuang suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Aunt Guihua."

The village head's wife smiled and said, "That's right. It's getting dark now, let's go back."

The village chief's wife looked up at the sky.

"Okay." The village chief took the ten cents from Lin Shuang's hand, and Lin Shuang put away the remaining twenty cents.

Just turned around and went back.

As he was walking, he saw Shitou hiding in the corner and secretly looking at him. He turned his head to look at him and immediately hid himself.

Lin Shuang smiled. This child is quite timid. Xiao Jingyu is so brave. How did they get along with each other?

Lin Shuang shook her head in amusement and ran all the way home.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Xiao Nanxin and Xiao Jingyu sitting on the small stool at the door, supporting their chins.

"Hey, whose child is this? Why isn't he going home yet when it's dark?" Lin Shuang walked lightly to the two of them.

"Stepmother, you're back. Let's go home. It's getting dark." Xiao Nanxin walked over and took Lin Shuang's left hand. He pouted.

Xiao Jingyu also stood up and looked at Lin Shuang with anticipation on his face.

Lin Shuang saw the desire and expectation in Xiao Jingyu's eyes, and felt amused. This kid's attitude towards him has changed drastically since he saved him today.

At this time, he looked at me with pitiful eyes like a good baby, and my heart was almost melted by his cuteness.

Lin Shuang smiled and said, "Come, Jingyu, hold my hand."

Lin Shuang directly handed her right hand to Xiao Jingyu.

Xiao Jin stared at the slender hand in front of him, staring blankly. His stepmother was so gentle, just like his own mother.

I couldn't help but shout out, "Mom."

The word "mother" stunned the three people present.

Seeing that Lin Shuang had no reaction, Xiao Jingyu seemed a little stunned by the shock.

Xiao Jingyu looked at Lin Shuang's reaction with a bit of disappointment, his brows furrowed like two caterpillars, his little hands nervously tugging at the corner of the rag.

I was upset about my bad mouth just now, but now it seems like she doesn't want to be my mother at all, and I was just being sentimental. I secretly swore in my heart that I would never do that again.

Lin Shuang came back to her senses after a while, and lowered her head to look at Xiao Jingyu's expression, which changed several times, as if he was changing his face.

Xiao Nanxin also looked at his third brother in shock. Although he liked his stepmother very much now, he still couldn't call her "mother". He always felt that something was missing when he called her "mother".

This feeling also made Xiao Nanxin confused. He thought about what his stepmother said in the morning: she would not always be with them. When life got better, she would leave here and leave them.

At that time, they didn't know which county their stepmother lived in or where to find her.

This sudden feeling of panic has always existed in Xiao Nanxin's heart.

"Hey, my dear son." Lin Shuang reacted and took Xiao Jingyu's hand and went home together.

Xiao Jingyu felt his little hand tightly wrapped in his mother's big hand, and a sense of happiness arose spontaneously.

He stared blankly at the two people's tightly clasped hands and laughed foolishly. He felt that he must look very stupid now, so he restrained himself, but in the end he couldn't help laughing.

Lin Shuang noticed the changes in Xiao Jingyu and was very happy. Children like him really lack love and just need to be coaxed.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the tasker. The target, Xiao Jingyu, has a 90% favorability towards the tasker. You will receive a reward package."

"The production method of cosmetics, including powder, eye shadow, blush, lip balm, and eyebrow pencil.

Please claim it promptly, as it will expire in one day."

The beautiful voice made Lin Shuang feel even better.

She hugged Xiao Jingyu and kissed him on the cheek, "You are such a good son."

Xiao Jingyu felt dazed, as if he was walking on clouds, dizzy and not real at all.

The sallow and fleshless little face suddenly turned red, from the face to the neck, and it felt like the hair was smoking.

When Xiao Nanxin saw this scene, he felt a little envious and jealous.

"Stepmother, you didn't even kiss me." Xiao Nanxin's aggrieved voice came from Lin Shuang's left.

Lin Shuang turned her head and saw the deer-like eyes looking at her with wetness, and the grievance in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"Okay, I'll kiss you too, okay?" Lin Shuang kissed Xiao Nanxin on the cheek.

Xiao Nanxin laughed out loud, thinking this was a pretty good feeling.

Xiao Ce and Xiao Wangshu stood at the door of the main hall and looked at the three of them. It was impossible for them not to be envious.
