"What are you trying to do now? Aren't you just bullying us orphans and widows?" Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow with a wicked smile. Isn't this just feigning sympathy to gain pity?
Who can't?
Widow Li was furious: "You... Oh dear, I can't walk anymore, Madam Mo, quickly lend me a hand and help me onto the oxcart."
"..." Face is a good thing, but you have to have it.
Mo Qingcheng glanced at Widow Li with the look she gave a fool, her eyes sharp as knives: "If you want to stay here forever to watch over this grave, then try climbing up here!"
"You..." Widow Li shuddered instinctively, then shamelessly climbed onto the oxcart.
Even if you gave her a hundred lives, she wouldn't dare.
Li Xiaoqing steeled herself and stepped forward: "Mom, I'll carry you on my back."
"You idiot, I've already walked my legs off, why aren't you hurrying up?" Widow Li had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only bully and berate her own son.
The crowd curled their lip in disdain. With such a terrible mother, it wouldn't be easy for Li Xiaoqing to find a wife...
The people of Manping Village may be angry, but if they can't afford to offend them, can't they at least avoid them?
Their being ahead might be a good thing. As it turned out, in the near future, the villagers of Nanping Village escaped a calamity and were extremely relieved.
The village chief is wise! Lady Mo is mighty!
"My stepmother is so amazing!" Bai Zimo clapped his hands, his face full of admiration.
Mu Yunchuan nodded seriously without smiling, "That's right, otherwise how could she become our stepmother?"
Mo Qingcheng, who was feeling smug, was speechless.
What the hell?
You brat, are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?
A smile flickered in Shangguan Yichen's eyes. *Ahem*, finally she's starting to look like a stepmother...
A sly glint flashed in Shangguan Yunxi's eyes. She wondered what other tricks her stepmother had up her sleeve.
The three villages, with about a hundred households, stretched out in a line. The further I went, the more uneasy I felt.
It's hard to leave one's homeland.
Especially the elderly in the village, who secretly shed tears, knowing they were too old to withstand such hardship...
After a long day's journey, the elderly and children were exhausted. As the sun set, the three village chiefs set up camp near a water source.
Bai Zimo pouted, "Stepmother, Momo is feeling unwell..."
Mo Qingcheng was startled: "Mo Mo, are you feeling unwell?"
"Mo Mo... I don't feel well here..." Bai Zimo's face was pale as she pointed to her stomach.
Mo Qingcheng immediately understood. The child was probably carsick from the bumpy ride... But my darling gets carsick even on an oxcart, what should we do?
“Stepmother… Feifei… isn’t feeling well either…” Bai Yunfei pouted, and the next second she stretched out her arms with tears in her eyes.
Mo Qingcheng held the twins in her arms and gently comforted them.
Shangguan Yichen wiped the sweat from his brow and fed the old ox water. Shangguan Yunxi and Mu Wanqing went to arrange the cooking, while Mu Yunchuan stood calmly on the oxcart, gazing into the distance, his brow twitching.
After calming the two little ones down, Mo Qingcheng thought for a moment, rummaged through the potato basket, found a small medicine bottle, and fed the two children some specially processed medicine.
Bai Ziming and Bai Yunfei secretly told Mo Qingcheng that they would keep it a secret and wouldn't tell her older brother or sister either.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated. She had been leaning against the oxcart for two hours, listless, watching her older brother, sister, and stepmother busy at work, exchanging glances with them.
"Ahem... Sister, our stepmother is really good to us," Bai Ziming said in a low voice.
Bai Yunfei's eyes darted around: "We still need to test them. What if our stepmother is trying to lull us into a false sense of security?"
"..." Bai Zimo opened his mouth, what he said made so much sense, I was speechless.
The siblings' little antics did not escape the watchful eyes of their older brother, sister, and stepmother, but the four children pretended not to notice.
The two little ones were probably not feeling well, and were dozing off in a daze when suddenly a large hand reached into the basket next to them.
"Ah! Help!"
