"All of you go take a shower. It's up to you guys to decide who goes first."

"The rest of you, go to the room and see your father. I'll make some porridge for him later. We'll have dumplings tonight. We still have some meat at home."

"Okay, stepmother." Xiao Nanxin agreed obediently.

"Mom, let's eat dumplings. I love them." Xiao Jingyu was so happy that he almost jumped up. The excitement on his face couldn't be faked.

Xiao Ce looked at Lin Shuang in surprise. He had just bought the white flour today and was already preparing to eat it.

Xiao Wangshu recalled the taste of the dumplings made by his grandmother and licked the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, I'll make more so you can eat more later." Lin Shuang said with a smile and touched Xiao Jingyu's little head.

Xiao Jingyu rubbed Lin Shuang's palm with great enjoyment.

The four of them went to the bathroom one after another.

Lin Shuang just remembered that the Xiao family was very particular. Generally, there were no special rooms for bathing in rural areas, but the Xiao family had one.

Lin Shuang could also imagine that Xiao Yi had an extraordinary status and he certainly couldn't get used to rural life, so he built the house according to his own ideas.

In my memory, the Xiao couple seemed to be of extraordinary bearing.

Xiao Ce brought his younger brothers and sisters to Xiao Yi's room to see how their father had been doing at home that day.

"Dad, you have to wake up quickly. Stepmother is different now."

"Dad, I like stepmother very much now, you know? When she was slandered and beaten to death in the town today, I was really afraid that I would never see you again, but mother suddenly appeared, like a fairy."

"She saved me and even went to court to fight for me, clearing my name."

"Dad, Mom gave us a lot of food, washed our hair, gave us a bath, gave us meat to eat, and gave us new clothes to wear." What I had always longed for finally came true.

Xiao Nanxin counted them one by one on his fingers, and laughed when he finished speaking. He was now a baby with a mother.

The pure smile on her face made Xiao Ce beside her relax unconsciously, and he became happy.

It seems that having a stepmother in this family is not a difficult thing.

"Who of you will shower first?"

Lin Shuang carried the water to the ear room and came back to ask the children to take a bath. Unexpectedly, she heard such words when she was standing in front of the door.

It seems that the efforts of the past few days have not been in vain. At this rate, I will be able to go home in less than half a year.

Seeing the children chatting animatedly, he spoke out loud.

The four children turned around immediately when they heard the sound.

Xiao Jingyu went straight into Lin Shuang's arms, hugged Lin Shuang with his two little hands, and rubbed his head against Lin Shuang's belly, "Mom, let me wash first."

Xiao Jingyu now feels full of security when he sees Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang has the scent of his mother.

Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Wangshu and Xiao Nanxin had never seen their mother, only Xiao Ce remembered her.

"Why are you so clingy now? I remember when we first met, you were very fierce and even threw stones at me."

Lin Shuang wanted to tease Xiao Jingyu to see how he would react.

As expected, when Xiao Jingyu heard Lin Shuang say this, his arms that were around Lin Shuang slowly and weakly slid down.

Her face was filled with distress, bewilderment, and panic. Her eyes quickly filled with tears, and her little hands twisted the corners of her clothes.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Shuang pitifully, "Mom, I was wrong. I thought you were going to sell us out, so I did this.

Besides, you always beat me in the past. Look, all the scars on my body were caused by you. That’s why I misunderstood mother. Mother, can you forgive me? "

Xiao Jingyu didn't notice the flaw in Lin Shuang's words at all, and didn't realize that this Lin Shuang was not the same Lin Shuang.

Xiao Jingyu knew that his mother was better now, so he reached out and held Lin Shuang's hand.

Lin Shuang couldn't bear to see Xiao Jingyu cry any longer, so she squatted down with heartache and gently wiped the tears from Xiao Jingyu's face with her fingers.

"Mom has forgiven you now, but don't do this again in the future."

"I want to make it clear to you guys right here, if you make a mistake, I will still educate you, I will still punish you, I will still beat you.

However, I will not hit you for no reason, nor will I use you as a punching bag."

Lin Shuang looked at the four children in front of her, and her firm words at this time penetrated deeply into the hearts of the four children.

Everyone was stunned. They thought the stepmother would say that she would not beat them again, but it turned out to be beyond their expectations.

Xiao Ce thought about it carefully and felt that this was the true intention of his stepmother.

I have seen some people's stepmothers love their stepsons very much, but are very strict with their own sons. The purpose of doing this is to praise the stepson to death and turn him into a waste.

But my stepmother is fair in her dealings. I wish she could always be like this.

"I will leave when your life is good." This sentence suddenly appeared in Xiao Ce's mind. What he said in the morning made Xiao Ce a little flustered at the moment.

The stepmother has changed a lot, and this change is also due to her ability. Today, in just a short while, she has become the second owner of Dieying Tower.

He even went to court to confront the bad guys, saved himself and the cats and dogs, and made the bad guys be brought to justice and put in jail.

All these changes made Xiao Ce more and more confused.

Suddenly I heard my stepmother say, "When we first met, you were ready to stone me to death."

This sentence made Xiao Ce's heart alarm ring. This incident happened when his stepmother fainted yesterday, and everything changed since she woke up that time.

The stepmother's behavior, manners, and style have all changed, as if another person is living in the same body.

Xiao Ce's in-depth guess made him break out in a cold sweat, his hair stood on end, and he looked at Lin Shuang again with fear in his eyes.

Who is she?

Is it a human or a ghost?

What is the purpose?

Xiao Ce just stared at Lin Shuang closely.

Lin Shuang felt a strong gaze, and looking over, she saw Xiao Ce looking at her with unfriendly eyes, panic and wariness.

"Xiao Ce, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Shuang saw that Xiao Ce looked very bad, and went forward to touch his forehead, thinking that he had a fever. "Xiao Ce, come here, let me take a look."

When Xiao Ce saw Lin Shuang approaching, he subconsciously wanted to avoid her, but when he saw the worry on his stepmother's face that did not seem to be fake, he forced himself to hold back.

His body trembled slightly, and Lin Shuang gently touched his forehead, which woke Xiao Ce, who had been frightened, up all of a sudden.

Although we don’t know who she is, she will be nice to us, and that’s enough.
