Chapter 8 New stepmother, tsk tsk tsk...



The salesperson was shocked, curled his lips, and weighed and packed the items skillfully and swiftly.

Daya was still in a daze until she left the supply and marketing cooperative, and was brought back to her senses by her sisters' happy cheers.

Du Xiaoying glanced at her daughters with a smile and gave each of them a piece of candy. "Eat one candy each first, and save the rest for later."

Erya couldn't wait to take a sip, her big eyes like black grapes sparkling, "So sweet!"

Seeing that the children were reluctant to eat the candies and only took small licks, Du Xiaoying felt a sour taste in her nose. "Eat them all. From now on, each of you can have two candies a day."

Wu Ya carefully put the candy into her mouth and said, "Mom, the candy is so delicious!"

"Of course, how can candy not taste good?" Si Ya said as she threw the candy into her mouth.

"Hey, did you see that just now? That woman was dressed so poorly, but she was able to produce such a huge stack of banknotes!"

"I saw a man in military uniform following her. I guess he's her husband. Otherwise, how could he come up with so much money so quickly?"

"Didn't you see the kids around that woman? Not only are they covered in patches, but they're all skinny and pale. Could that woman be her new stepmother? Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Look at how she's abused the kids."

Du Xiaoying, who had no idea that she had been regarded as a vicious stepmother, stuffed a candy into each of her daughters' mouths, paused, and handed one to the tall man next to her.

Song Guoliang was stunned for a moment, "I won't eat it."

"Eat it. Let's eat together as a family today." Du Xiaoying smiled and peeled a candy. It tasted sweet in her mouth and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

San Ya secretly pinched her thigh, and immediately tears welled up in her eyes due to the pain. When she thought that this was not a dream, she grinned happily and savored the sweet taste of the candy in her mouth.

"Sisters, am I dreaming? Will we have candy every day from now on?"

"Um!"

“Mom is so nice!”

The three sisters all looked at Du Xiaoying's backpack, which contained many delicious foods that the sisters had never seen before. In the old house, they were all good things for boys.

Du Xiaoying lovingly held her daughters' hands and said, "Mom promises that our family's future will get better and better!"

"Well, your mother is right. Our family will only get better and better in the future."

"Yeah! We trust our parents."

Siya and Wuya looked at their mothers and sisters holding hands, and they couldn't sit still anymore. They shook their little feet and said, "Dad, I want to go downstairs."

"I want to go down and walk on my own too."

"good."

Song Guoliang smiled and put his two daughters down steadily. He raised his hand to take the backpack from his daughter-in-law's back and said, "Let me do it."

Du Xiaoying did not insist and let the man take the backpack.

County scrap yard

In the distance, a series of uneven radish heads slowly approached.

"Master, I——"

Before Du Xiaoying finished speaking, the gray-haired gatekeeper lazily waved his hand and said, "Look inside for yourself. Come out and we'll share the price."

A family of seven walked in. There were all kinds of items piled up in categories. Du Xiaoying went straight to the wooden furniture. "Look around and pick up whatever you need at home. Be careful not to scratch your hands."

"I know, Mom."

The sisters responded in unison, bending down and looking for it.

"Wu Ya, follow me, slow down and watch your step."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Ya fell down on her butt.

"Oh, you're not broken, are you? Does it hurt?"

"Wuwu~" Wu Ya pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, "My clothes are torn, wuwuwu~"

"It's okay, it's okay. When we get back, I'll embroider a small flower on your clothes and I guarantee there won't be any trace of it."

"Big sister is the best~"

Worried, Daya had no choice but to hold her little sister's hand.

Du Xiaoying walked through a pile of discarded wooden furniture, and felt very sad and regretful when she saw the good furniture being smashed.

Du Xiaoying froze at a Huanghuali wardrobe, carefully examining the fallen wardrobe with one leg missing. It was obvious that it once belonged to a wealthy family.

Song Guoliang watched his wife's actions and walked over. "Let's pull this cabinet back. I'll make another leg and fix it so it can be used."

"Okay!" Du Xiaoying nodded and continued to rummage through a pile of broken wooden furniture.

Song Guoliang found a few relatively complete wooden boards and planned to make tables, chairs and benches when he returned.

Du Xiaoying searched for a long time but didn't find anything that could be used at home. She got up and went to check on her daughters, only to find that Daya and Wuya had already found several ceramic vases and shallow plates.

"Mom, I want to take these back and use them, okay?"

"OK."

"Mom, look what we found?"

Du Xiaoying took a closer look and saw her two daughters holding two copper objects in their hands. She was a little surprised and asked, "Where did you find these?"

"Mom, it's over there. I'll take you there."

"Okay, okay." Du Xiaoying hurriedly followed her daughter. There were no tools at home. If she went back and tidied up a few things, she would have a few more handy tools.

The family looked carefully and prayed silently in their hearts that they could find a few more useful things.

Maybe she was lucky, Du Xiaoying actually found an aluminum kettle, but there was a large dent and a big hole on the side. However, if it wasn't rotten, people would not have thrown it to the scrap yard.

"Guoliang, come and take a look." Du Xiaoying hurriedly greeted Song Guoliang, looking at the man expectantly, "Can this be repaired?"

Song Guoliang looked at it carefully and nodded, "Yes."

Wu Ya's eyes sparkled, "Dad, you're so awesome!"

Si Ya nodded, "Dad is amazing, he knows everything!"
