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,...

Chapter 23 Arsonist

Hearing the voice, Jiang Xueying quickly turned around and immediately saw two strong laborers pinching Zhang Erhu's neck and walking towards them angrily.

"You again!"

Jiang Xueying was so angry that she almost laughed. Seeing Zhang Erhu's panicked expression, she knew that he must have done it. Did he really think she was someone who was easy to mess with? He challenged her bottom line again and again?

Zhang Erhu didn't expect that he would be caught so quickly. He regretted setting the fire and was thinking about Jiang Xueying's panicked expression. If he just left, who would know that it was him who set the fire?

He gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Xueying, his face filled with hatred. Since he had been caught, he would do whatever she wanted.

"It seems you are very unconvinced."

Jiang Xueying frowned, and felt Zhang Erhu's expression of being as calm as a dead pig was ridiculous.

"Tie him up tightly and send him to the government office tomorrow morning."

Since Zhang Erhu refuses to repent, she has to solve the problem in her own way. People like him should go to jail and reflect on themselves.

The clerk immediately stepped forward and tied up Zhang Erhu, and stuffed a large piece of cloth into his mouth.

Zhang Erhu's eyes were wide open as he stared at Jiang Xueying angrily, and there seemed to be flames jumping in his eyes.

Jiang Xueying ignored her and looked towards the kitchen in the yard. It was really that plans could not keep up with changes. Who would have thought that Zhang Erhu would dare to set fire so blatantly? Fortunately, she discovered it in time, otherwise who knows what the consequences would be.

Now her kitchen was ruined.

“This is a big loss.”

Jiang Xueying sighed and kicked Zhang Erhu in disgust.

"Lock him up in the woodshed."

After giving the instructions, Jiang Xueying said nothing more and turned back to the house.

When she returned to the house, the water for washing feet had already gone cold. She stared at the cold water in a daze, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

It's really not easy to do business here. Her store has just started and it has to be closed because of that bastard Zhang Erhu.

The next day, Jiang Xueying ordered her men to post a notice at the door and close the gate. She personally sent Zhang Erhu to the yamen and ignored whatever Zhang Erhu said.

Zhang Erhu was hungry and was taken to the prison by the bailiffs amid the people's spit.

As soon as Jiang Xueying returned home, Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin surrounded her, pulling her sleeves from the left and right. It was obvious that the two children missed her very much after not seeing her for a few days. It was worth it for her to work so hard to earn money to support them.

"Mom, you're finally back!"

Ye Xiaojin held Jiang Xueying's hand and refused to let go. He missed his mother a lot these past two days. The place felt empty without his mother at home, and he couldn't even enjoy his meals.

Compared to Ye Xiaojin's enthusiasm, Ye Xiaoyu's performance was relatively indifferent, but looking at her happy and excited expression, you can tell that she also misses Jiang Xueying.

Jiang Xueying knew this very well, and couldn't help feeling warm at heart. She touched the two children's heads and took them into the main room.

"I was a bit busy the past few days, so I didn't have time to come back. Have you been obedient to Aunt Liu these days?"

"We are very obedient and we are helping Aunt Liu!"

Jiang Xueying hadn't heard Ye Xiaojin's soft voice for several days. When she heard him talk about what happened in the past few days, she couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, why are you back? Didn't you say you'd be back for a few days? Are you done with the things in the city?"

Ye Xiaoyu is still the one who can grasp the key points. After all, Jiang Xueying originally said that she would be back in five or six days, but only a few days have passed?

Jiang Xueying couldn't help but think of what happened in the store and sighed with regret, "The kitchen in the store caught fire and burned down. It will probably take a few days to repair it."

The two siblings listened to Jiang Xueying's inner thoughts and silently digested the danger of yesterday's fire. They were somewhat glad that they discovered it early.

"Mom, as long as you are okay."

Ye Xiaojin held Jiang Xueying's hand to comfort her, and the little girl's words were very touching.

Since the business was going to be closed for a few days, Jiang Xueying couldn't sit idle. She thought about it secretly and then asked: "Do we still have land in the village?"

The two children were stunned, and then shook their heads. They were outsiders, and the house they lived in before was bought. How could the village chief allocate land to them?

"No?"

Jiang Xueying murmured in a low voice. Seeing that the business of the store was getting better and better in the past few days, the potatoes regenerated in the space could not keep up with the progress. A few days ago, she had the idea of ​​growing potatoes herself.

It just so happens that the business is closed for a few days, so she might as well start doing this.

"If there is no land, then we will buy a piece of land."

Jiang Xueying's eyes became determined. She thought about planting some potatoes first to see how things went. Maybe she could find new business opportunities then.

Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin nodded at the same time. If it were in the past, they might have opposed it, but now seeing Jiang Xueying leading them to live better and better lives, they gradually regarded Jiang Xueying as their backbone and felt that everything she did was right.

"I will go to the village chief's house to ask tomorrow. You just wait at home. Once I get the land, I will take you to plant potatoes. Potatoes are good things!"

Jiang Xueying squatted down so that her eyes were level with the two children.

Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin looked at each other, then nodded heavily and agreed.

Jiang Xueying smiled kindly and went back to the house.

Although the two children are not her biological children, Jiang Xueying felt that she had fallen in love with them after spending time with them day after day.

I'm sure everyone likes sensible children like Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin. I really don't know how their foolish father could have the heart to leave these two young children to such a vicious stepmother?

Jiang Xueying did what she said and went to the village chief's house the next day.

"Hey, isn't this the vicious daughter-in-law of the Ye family?"

I had only walked for a while when I heard a weird voice.

Jiang Xueying paused, then walked past her without even glancing at her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I heard they are now rich and have opened big stores in the city. They look down on us now!"

The fat woman's facial features were almost squeezed together. She looked at the fine material Jiang Xueying was wearing and felt quite uncomfortable. What was the point of wearing the finest clothes for someone so ugly?

Jiang Xueying didn't have time to argue with her. After walking along a small path, she went straight to the village chief's house.

The village was not big, and she soon arrived at the door of the village chief's house.

"Is the village chief here?"

Jiang Xueying knocked on the door and asked in a low voice.

Not long after, the village chief's wife opened the door.

"Daughter-in-law of the Ye family, why are you here?"

After seeing Jiang Xueying, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. After not seeing her for a few days, Jiang Xueying seemed like a different person. She had changed her original coarse cloth clothes and put on comfortable cotton clothes.

It can be seen that Jiang Xueying is indeed capable. She has vaguely heard her husband talk about her at home, but she has never quite believed it. Now that she has met her in person, she feels that she is really different.
