Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...
"Ah? I saw there were still a lot just now, how come it's gone so fast!"
The man looked as if he was still unsatisfied, with a look of regret on his face. It seemed that he found the food delicious after eating it and came back to buy it again.
"Don't worry, we will come back to sell it tomorrow, you can just come back to buy it tomorrow!"
Jiang Xueying was very happy to see that the snacks she made were so popular. This gave her a greater sense of accomplishment than getting a bounty for killing someone. She didn't expect that she would develop such a talent after coming here. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain in her heart after hearing Jiang Xueying's thoughts. How could selling snacks be compared to killing people? This stepmother is really too awesome!
"Okay, great, little lady, I'll wait for you here tomorrow!"
When the man heard that he could eat French fries again tomorrow, he immediately became happy and walked away, looking back every few steps.
After packing up, Jiang Xueying took Ye Xiaoyu and prepared to go back. When they left, she found that Ye Xiaoyu was staring in a daze in one direction. She followed Ye Xiaoyu's gaze, but only saw a thick wall and had no idea what she was looking at.
"Xiaoyu, what are you looking at?"
"No, nothing!"
Ye Xiaoyu, who heard the voice, quickly retracted her gaze and came to Jiang Xueying, "Stepmother, let's go!"
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's obvious concealment, Jiang Xueying understood everything. She had long known that the two children might be hiding some secrets, but so what? Everyone has their own secrets, including hers. It doesn't matter if the children don't want to tell her. As long as they are willing to follow her, she will always support them.
Listening to Jiang Xueying's words in her heart, Ye Xiaoyu would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. They had never thought that they would have such a warm relationship with their stepmother. In the future, she must take Ye Xiaojin with her and live a good life with her stepmother.
Jiang Xueying took Ye Xiaoyu to the market and bought some hens. They can be raised in the backyard and lay eggs for eating. They can also be placed in the vegetable garden and eat insects. There are many benefits.
Seeing Jiang Xueying bringing back so many things, Aunt Liu greeted her warmly. She has seen the changes in Jiang Xueying, and now this is what a mother should be like.
Ye Xiaojin was very happy to see the hens and chicks that Jiang Xueying brought back. He found some bran from somewhere and started to feed them. However, the hens seemed to be not used to the new environment and ran away when Ye Xiaojin approached them. Ye Xiaojin had no choice but to chase them.
Ye Xiaojin chased the chickens around the yard, which made Jiang Xueying laugh. She picked vegetables and smiled as she told him, "Xiaojin, run slower, don't fall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaojin fell to the ground. The chicken then went to eat the bran with glee. Ye Xiaojin's face was full of dissatisfaction. Jiang Xueying smiled unkindly, and Ye Xiaoyu also laughed. The small yard was filled with laughter.
Suddenly, an inopportune voice sounded.
"Oh, I didn't expect that she would really live the life of a kind stepmother, raising chickens and growing vegetables. It's quite leisurely!"
When they saw the person coming, Ye Xiaojin and Ye Xiaoyu's expressions changed instantly, and they ran to Jiang Xueying at the same time.
Seeing the children so scared, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but frown and looked up at the woman standing at the door and leaning against it. She looked to be in her thirties, wearing a novel flowery dress and had a fair and tender face. She didn't look like a peasant woman working in the fields.
Who is this?
Jiang Xueying was still searching for information about the woman in the original owner's memory. Ye Xiaoyu, who was standing by, shook her arm and whispered, "Stepmother, she is Aunt Gu!"
After Ye Xiaoyu's reminder, Jiang Xueying also received the original owner's memories.
The visitor was the young daughter-in-law of the Gu family at the head of the village. She had married here from the town and was considered a city dweller. The Gu family was very proud to have a city daughter-in-law and they treated her very well. Her husband also did not allow her to work in the fields and treated her like a treasure.
But the good times didn't last long. Just after she gave birth to a child, the youngest son of the Gu family fell to his death while climbing the mountain, and she became a widow. Her mother-in-law's attitude towards her also plummeted. But she had always been strong-willed and her words were not pleasant, so many people in the village disliked her.
She and the original owner were both competitive, so naturally they did not get along. Some time ago, she heard that the original owner had burned down the house and she was gloating over it. Now, she heard that Jiang Xueying was living in the village chief's old house with her two children and was doing well, but she still didn't believe it, so she came to take a look.
She heard laughter in the yard before she even entered the door. As soon as she came in, she found a family of three living happily together, and they were also raising chickens and growing vegetables. She felt uncomfortable. Why was Jiang Xueying's life more comfortable than hers?
"Oh, you bought so many chickens. My kid likes to eat chicken. I'll catch one later. You can't feed it anyway!"
The daughter-in-law of the Gu family looked at Jiang Xueying, who didn't say a word, with an arrogant look on her face, and her voice was full of contempt, thinking that Jiang Xueying was still the stupid woman who allowed herself to be manipulated by her before. She walked closer while talking, not considering herself an outsider at all.
Jiang Xueying said nothing, just waited to see what tricks this woman would come up with.
After hearing Jiang Xueying's plan, the two children looked at each other and felt relieved. They almost forgot that the stepmother in front of them was no longer the stepmother who only knew how to bully others at home. They were waiting to see the show.
Seeing that Jiang Xueying didn't say anything, the Gu family's daughter-in-law smiled contemptuously and became more proud. She looked left and right, thinking about what to take back today.
Jiang Xueying walked over only when the Gu family's daughter-in-law was about to go into the main room to look for something.
"Hey, Sister-in-law Gu is not an outsider, but I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy the game raised in the mountains!"
Upon hearing this, the Gu family's daughter-in-law's face turned pale and then ugly.
Originally, it was because the wife of the Gu family wanted to eat wild animals that the youngest son of the Gu family went up the mountain to catch them. Unexpectedly, he never came back, and she became a widow at a young age.
Jiang Xueying has never been a pushover and always pokes at other people's most painful spots.
The Gu family's daughter-in-law's face was obviously not very good. She glared at Jiang Xueying hatefully and pointed at her for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Xueying sneered and struck while the iron was hot.
"There's plenty of game on this mountain. If you want to eat some, you can go catch it yourself, or ask someone else to catch it!"
It is obvious that she is being shameless, wanting to take possession of everyone's property for herself, and getting whatever she wants by herself, and she is just thinking about getting something for nothing all day long.
Ye Xiaojin and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh secretly, and kept exclaiming that their stepmother was so great!
The last bit of Gu family's daughter-in-law's face was lost in the children's laughter. She wanted to refute but lost all her momentum when she saw Jiang Xueying's sharp eyes.
"I...I was just saying it casually. Who is as stingy as you? Your neighbors can't even bear to part with such a small thing!"
