Bai Yueniang blushed and her heart pounded. She glared at Mo Qingcheng angrily and said, "Oh dear, Sister Mo, you're so naughty."
"Haha, really?" Mo Qingcheng stared intently at Bai Yueniang. "To be remembered and cherished is such a blissful thing..."
Bai Yuniang was stunned upon hearing this, as if something in her heart had shattered. "Sister Mo, in this life and the next, you will never be able to shake off the three of us, mother and daughters."
"..." Mo Qingcheng felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
The two men chatted and laughed as they dug the hole, but without a suitable tool, it was a bit of a struggle. They seemed to lose track of time as they worked until a small figure stood angrily before them, bringing them back to their senses.
Mo Qingcheng awkwardly touched her nose: "Oh dear, I'm sorry, eldest son, Mommy was too preoccupied with me..."
Shangguan Yichen felt like he'd punched cotton, rendered speechless, his gaze turning slightly cold: "Have you forgotten who you are?"
"What is your identity?" Mo Qingcheng asked subconsciously, then silently turned her face away the next second, feeling too embarrassed.
Shangguan Yichen laughed in exasperation: "You are someone else's mother and wife."
"Oh..." I thought it was something serious? Mo Qingcheng thought to herself, gave Shangguan Yichen a look that said, "You're such a worrywart, you'll age fast," and went down the mountain with Bai Yueniang.
The little boy stood there, completely bewildered...
"Sister Mo, won't you upset the boss by doing this?"
"What's there to be sad about? We're going to be so busy, how can we possibly take care of all the children perfectly? Yichen is the eldest in the family, he needs to be more mature and responsible."
Mother's intentions are so good... Mo Qingcheng lowered her eyes, pondering how long it would take before she could leave. The children had an unusually blind adoration for that limping, foolish husband they had never met. Did they have to follow him wherever he went?
no!
Mo Qingcheng shook her head, humming a tune as she walked ahead, while Bai Yueniang, her face full of admiration and exhausted, followed behind with all her might.
Isn't Sister Mo tired?
Back where she was, the five little ones rushed over to her, asking after her with concern, which warmed Mo Qingcheng's heart.
"Come, come, let me show you my skills today and make you a hot pot meal."
The children's eyes lit up, and they all asked at once what was going on in one pot?
At Mo Qingcheng's command, the whole family mobilized. Shangguan Yunxi and Xuanyuan Ying were in charge of washing the fish, Bai Yueniang was in charge of kneading the dough, and Mo Qingcheng somehow produced some seasonings. The little ones ran around following along, having a great time...
More than half a month later, the families had almost finished eating, and the aroma of food filled the air on Mo Qingcheng's territory, making everyone's mouths water.
The soft, fluffy rice paper, the delicious little fish, the fragrant meat—the children's cheeks bulged. Bai Ziming, the most greedy of them all, burned his tongue and, afraid of being laughed at, forcefully suppressed the urge to cry. His watery eyes sparkled: "Mommy, can we eat like this every day from now on?"
"Yes, Mother will try her best..." Mo Qingcheng smiled and carried half a bowl of rice to Shangguan Yichen's house.
The young boy returned without saying a word, eating in silence. Shangguan Yunxi's eyes lit up: "Big brother, Mother won't let us go hungry."
Shangguan Yichen's gaze shifted slightly, unsure of what to say. Was his stepmother foolish or clever? There wasn't much food left in the house... It was one thing for him to go hungry, but wasn't this just inviting more hatred?
"Lady Mo, what are we going to do later?" Li Changgeng walked over with his wife, looking a little embarrassed.
"Um... Village Chief, Sister-in-law, would you like some?" Mo Qingcheng glanced at the food in the pot; there was still a small half-bowl left. She asked hesitantly.
Liu Cuihua was taken aback: "No, Madam Mo, do you have enough to eat?"
