By the time she got home, the sun had already set. The children rushed over, asking her all sorts of questions, and Mo Qingcheng responded with a smile.
When Bai Yueniang saw the contents of the oxcart, she gasped, "Sister Mo, you picked up silver?"
"What good is that? Aunt Mo is overthinking it..." Shangguan Yichen said, and began to unload things from the oxcart.
"Mommy, I missed you so much!" Bai Zimo snuggled into Mo Qingcheng's arms and rubbed his little head against her forehead.
"Mo Mo, be good. Mommy bought you some steamed buns, one for each of you. Go and eat."
"No, let's wait for Mother to eat."
"Mommy has already eaten." Mo Qingcheng rubbed the little guy's head. "Mommy will play with you in a bit."
"Mother, elder brother, please have some water first." Shangguan Yunxi and Mu Wanqing came over with bowls in their hands.
Xuanyuan Ying and her sister, along with Bai Yueniang, helped with the items.
Shangguan Yichen was slightly taken aback, then shook his head. He said it was better to drink water after finishing his work, as his mother had had a long and tiring journey.
Mo Qingcheng drank her wine, keeping this heartwarming scene in her memory, a smile playing on her lips.
Liu Cuihua and Liu Wenhui put down what Mo Qingcheng wanted and went back to their own home to busy themselves.
Half an hour later, Mo Qingcheng, having bathed and changed, came out and was taken aback: "Why aren't you eating?"
Bai Yueniang and the children were already hungry, but none of them touched their food.
"Mommy, you eat first." Bai Ziming came running over, holding a steamed bun.
Mo Qingcheng took a small bite: "It's delicious."
The little guy grinned, took a bite, and squinted his eyes.
Bai Yueniang took a deep breath: "Sister Mo, you..."
"Eat up, you'll have the energy to work when you're full."
The children chattered excitedly, vying to know what they were supposed to do. Although they were young, they didn't want to be given free meals.
Mo Qingcheng chuckled. "You know what, there's a lot of work waiting for the children."
After a quick dinner, Mo Qingcheng directed the children, both big and small, to clean the pig intestines. Even Shangguan Yichen couldn't escape the misfortune.
The funniest one was Bai Zimo. The little guy couldn't stand it anymore, but he was afraid of being laughed at, so he found two wads of cloth somewhere and stuffed them into his nose. He looked ridiculous and cute.
Everyone burst into laughter instantly. The little guy pouted, as if to say, "Who do you think you are?"
As the moon rose above the willow branches, Mo Qingcheng secretly took a stroll through the space and was astonished, her eyes widening in surprise. Farm Jun was such a thoughtful and warm-hearted man, knowing exactly what she was thinking.
Hehe, everything is ready except for the final touch...
The next morning, Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang led the children off to clear the wasteland in a grand procession. Gou Sheng's wife and the others, seeing this, curled their lip in disapproval. "Mo Qingcheng is too heartless!" they thought.
What can these little kids do? Especially that chubby little boy who waddles around—he can't do anything…
Mo Qingcheng ignored it completely, and Gou Sheng's wife and the others felt like they had punched cotton, immediately losing interest.
Shangguan Yunxi was not one to be taken advantage of. She rolled her eyes: "Mother, why do I smell a sour, foul odor from so far away? Could it be sewage?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingcheng smiled and said, "The most valuable thing about a person is to have self-awareness. It's good that Xi'er knows this..."
Gou Sheng's wife and the others blushed, cursed, and pretended to be sophisticated.
Bai Ziming and the other children were just there for the novelty. Bai Yueniang and her two children initially thought so too, but to their surprise, none of the children complained or grumbled. They did their best and didn't want to stop.
Mo Qingcheng looked at him with heartache. An hour later, she asked Shangguan Yunxi to take her younger siblings home to cook.
Bai Zimo refused to leave no matter what, resorting to shameless behavior.
"Mo Mo, Mommy bought some pig offal last night. You have to keep an eye on it, or there won't be anything good to eat tonight."
The little guy blinked: "Second sister, let's go..."
"Hahaha!"
Shangguan Yichen breathed a sigh of relief; his stepmother's heart wasn't completely broken after all...
