The bird-beastman next door sent over some spirit beans, which were said to have been picked in the wild, and Shen Miao accepted them.

After looking at it, she realized that these spirit beans were the same as the string beans from her previous life, except that these were wild. She hadn't eaten string beans in a long time, but they were still very delicious when cooked.

After washing Shen Miao clean, she put her food in the pan and stir-fried it. The children watched eagerly from the side. Every time their mother made food that they had never eaten before, it tasted especially delicious.

This must be delicious too!

Seeing the little ones' greedy expressions, Shen Miao couldn't help but laugh. She deliberately told them how delicious the spirit bean was, making the little ones swallow their saliva even more.

Qingchen called Shen Miao from next door, and she told the children to watch the fire, saying she would be right back.

Shen Miao went out.

The children swallowed hard as they looked at the bright green, glistening green beans in the pot.

They didn't like eating green things before because they weren't filling; meat was much tastier. But under Shen Miao's guidance, the kids have come to like these green things.

The truth is that Shen Miao's cooking is delicious, she uses plenty of seasonings, and the ingredients in this world are unpolluted and all natural, so it tastes good no matter how you cook it.

The children didn't know any of this. Right now, the little ones were squatting by the fire, looking at the spirit beans in the pot, and they couldn't help but wonder what their mother's spirit beans tasted like.

Sanbao said cautiously, "I really want to eat it."

"Me too, or I'll try it for you. That's how Mom always cooks, you have to try it first." Erbao said seriously, and couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, put a green bean in his mouth, and cried out in pain because it was too hot.

"How was it? How was it?"

The other cubs asked expectantly.

Erbao's mouth was too hot to speak, so Dabao said, "Erbao is useless, I'll try it."

As a result, all four kids tried it.

When Shen Miao came in, she saw Xiao Sibao take a piece of green bean from Da Bao and put it in his mouth. The little ones were all smiling foolishly.

She suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes, rushed over, slapped Da Bao's chopsticks away, grabbed Xiao Si Bao, and tried to pry open her mouth: "How much did you eat? Spit it all out!"

The little ones were terrified. The fourth child was confused. She hadn't even had a chance to eat yet. Her brothers had finished eating before giving her a piece, but her mother slapped it away before she could even put it in her mouth.

When Shen Miao heard that all three of the children except for Xiao Sibao had been eaten, she felt a sudden dizziness.

Undercooked green beans can be fatal. She never imagined that her little ones would sneak a bite while she was away!

Shen Miao hurriedly tried to make the cubs vomit up what they had eaten. The cubs didn't know why, but they obediently didn't ask any more questions.

One by one, they spat out the green beans they had just eaten, just as Shen Miao had instructed.

After confirming that the babies had finished vomiting, Shen Miao collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. So close, so very close, and all four babies would have been gone.

Shen Miao's legs were weak, and she wanted to cry but couldn't. She warned the children that they couldn't eat random things anymore, and that the half-cooked green beans were gone. She threw them all away and made something else.

"Shen Miao, Shen Miao, come out here!"

Suddenly a voice rang out from outside, calling out Shen Miao's name. The voice sounded young. Shen Miao, who was in the kitchen, didn't hear it clearly and was wondering what was going on when she went out to see.

Erbao came over with a smile and pushed Shen Miao into the kitchen: "Mommy, you cook. It's Grandma's uncle who came to play with us."

Really? The little ones' uncle? She had no idea such a person existed.

However, seeing Erbao's confident expression, she didn't interfere any further. If the little ones could handle their own affairs, there was no need for her to meddle.

outside the house.

The three cubs lined up, facing off against the orcs who were a head taller than them.

The other person is also a kid, but older than Da Bao and the others.

After Erbao came out, he stood next to Dabao, pointed at the little beastman opposite him and said, "You just called my mother's name. Apologize to us, or I'll beat you up."

The little orc opposite him angrily said, "I'll call her Shen Miao, Shen Miao, Shen Miao! Ugly monster, fatso! She bullied my mother, so I'm going to curse her to death! She's no good, and you're all no good! Your whole family are bad people!!!"

This little beastman is Lingxi's youngest son and Qingchen's younger brother, but he has no respect for his brother's family.

The little ones got angry.

They had already accepted Shen Miao in their hearts, so how could they tolerate others insulting her like that, especially this nominal uncle in front of them, who was just like their grandmother—bossy and unreasonable.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! It was Grandma who came to my house asking for milk. We don't even have enough for ourselves, and my mom wouldn't give her any. We didn't bully her at all!"

It was actually Xiao Sibao who spoke.

The little beastman said gloomily, "I don't care, anyway you bullied my mother, she's still your grandmother, your whole family is unfilial, and Shen Miao is a scourge!"

Da Bao pursed his lips, clenched his little hands into fists, and said angrily, "Take back what you just said!"

The little orc smugly said, "I won't accept it! I'll say it again: Shen Miao is a menace... Ouch! Hit me! You dare hit me!"

He covered his face and burst into tears.

Da Bao clenched his little fists and punched him repeatedly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the little beastmen are bigger than Da Bao and the others. They are pampered by Ling Xi, unlike Da Bao and the others. Before, when there was no food, they had to search for food everywhere and avoid all kinds of beatings from Shen Miao. They had already developed their skills.

When the little orc tried to resist, Erbao and Sanbao rushed forward, baring their fists: "Dare to resist? We'll beat you up together!"

The little orc chickened out and lay on the ground throwing a tantrum.

Da Bao wouldn't let him urinate in front of his house, pushing him away: "Go away, or I'll beat you up again!"

The little orc was so frightened that it got up and ran away.

The kids went back as if nothing had happened. Shen Miao had just finished cooking and asked them where they had been. The kids looked at each other and said in unison, "We didn't go anywhere, we just played outside for a while."

Where is your uncle?

"He went back," Da Bao said calmly.

Shen Miao didn't think much of it and ate with the kids. But before they finished their meal, Lingxi came to the door again, slapping her thigh and crying, "Damn it! The eldest son's wife is going to beat her brother-in-law to death! God, open your eyes! How can there be such a cruel family? If anything happens to the youngest son, I won't live either."

This lamentation and sighing is just like an aria.

Shen Miao put down her chopsticks, frowned, and glanced at the faces of the children. The children lowered their heads guiltily.

Da Bao said weakly, "Mommy, that's not how it is. It was Uncle who came over first and started cursing at you and our whole family, so we hit him."
