"Mom, how are we going to get home?"
Ye Xiaojin held Jiang Xueying's big hand, with confusion in his eyes.
"Of course we have to go home, we won't be with them!"
These days, Jiang Xueying has not forgotten to recover her body. She has a special way of exercising, which is the best way she has summed up over the years. Now her body is slowly recovering.
At this time, Ye Xiaoyu at home was also waiting anxiously. It was getting dark, and her stepmother and Xiaojin had not returned yet. Could she be...
No no no!
As time passed, Ye Xiaoyu became more and more panicked, and also regretted letting Ye Xiaojin go out with his stepmother. After all, no one knew how the person in the stepmother's body appeared. What if he suddenly disappeared and turned back into the previous Jiang Xueying?
Just as he was anxiously thinking about all sorts of things, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared not far away. Who else could they be but Jiang Xueying and Ye Xiaojin? This also made Ye Xiaoyu heave a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xueying pulled Ye Xiaojin to the door and saw tiny beads of sweat on Ye Xiaoyu's head. She knew what she was worried about from her evasive eyes, so she just smiled and pulled Ye Xiaojin out.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted today!"
As it was getting dark, Jiang Xueying cut another piece of meat to make a dish, and then fried the beans she bought today and made a soup that was enough for three people to eat.
When Jiang Xueying walked over with the dishes, she saw Ye Xiaojin and Ye Xiaoyu talking about something. They stopped talking when they saw her coming over, avoiding her gaze guiltily. The pastries on the table that she had specially bought today were still untouched.
"Why don't you eat some pastries if you're hungry? Don't you like eating?"
The two children looked eagerly at the cakes that Jiang Xueying was about to take away. They never dared to touch their stepmother's things easily. After all, they had been beaten too many times for that. Even though Jiang Xueying had changed a lot now, the fear they had become accustomed to was hard to change. Therefore, they did not dare to take anything without Jiang Xueying's permission.
"Okay, from now on, you can eat whatever you want at home without having to worry about anyone's mood. Got it?"
Ye Xiaojin nodded first, took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing this, Ye Xiaoyu also started eating.
Jiang Xueying sighed and put the dishes on the table.
"Okay, don't eat too much, eat your meal first!"
It was already very late when the three of them finished their meal. Ye Xiaoyu took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Jiang Xueying cleaned up the pork that Ye Xiaoyu had prepared at home.
Nothing happened that night. Jiang Xueying got up early the next day. She now wanted to strengthen the physical fitness of her body. After all, this was a habit she had developed over the years. Who knew if she would encounter other problems?
There is also one most important thing. Last time, Aunt Zhang and her people broke the front door of her house, so she had to repair it. After all, this was the house she rented.
After the door was repaired, the family was having breakfast when they heard knocks on the door.
Jiang Xueying couldn't help but frown. When would this ever end? Did he really think her house was a vegetable market?
"Open the door, open the door quickly, Jiang Xueying, you are capable of hitting people, but you don't have the ability to open the door?"
There were sharp shouts and loud knocks on the door from outside, which made Jiang Xueying's tightly furrowed brows slightly bend, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She knew that what happened yesterday would not pass easily, and what was coming could not be avoided.
"You wait here!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueying comforted the two children and walked out. Hearing the loud knocking sounds outside, she directly opened the door.
The person outside probably didn't expect the door to open suddenly, and he subconsciously lunged forward. Fortunately, Jiang Xueying was quick enough to move out of the way. The person fell to the ground with a thud and screamed "Ouch".
"You bitch, you bully me, and now you're bullying my mother!"
The woman who saw this scene quickly stepped forward to support the person on the ground, and couldn't help cursing. Her words were full of accusations, and she didn't mention her own weak behavior of knocking on the other person's door at all.
Looking at the mother and daughter who were the first to complain, Jiang Xueying did not get angry but laughed instead.
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I didn't care about you making trouble and knocking on my door, but you made up a crime for me. I didn't even touch your mother just now!"
"I didn't say anything nonsense. It was you who made my mother fall, and you still refuse to admit it."
Thinking of the scene of being beaten yesterday, the woman was already feeling aggrieved, and now she was so angry that she felt dizzy.
Aunt Zhang, who fell, had just suffered a loss at the hands of Jiang Xueying that day, and she almost broke her old bones when she fell just now. Seeing that her daughter was so useless that she couldn't even win an argument, she couldn't help but get angrier and angrier.
"Jiang Xueying, you vicious woman, you clearly caused me to fall just now. I haven't even settled the score with you for beating my daughter yesterday, and now you are bullying me like this. Are you really bullying me because there is no one left in the Zhang family?"
While Aunt Zhang was wailing, many villagers heard the sound and came over.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang burst into tears and accused Jiang Xueying of her crimes word by word.
"Yesterday my daughter was just trying to persuade you to treat the two children well, but you actually hit her. Originally we wouldn't interfere in your family affairs, but we are all parents, and we have to speak out when we see you hitting the children. We can't let you ruin the morale of our village."
Aunt Zhang quickly grasped the key points when she spoke, put herself on a moral high ground to distort the facts, and emphasized Jiang Xueying's nature as a vicious stepmother, which naturally attracted everyone's approval.
Children are innocent and it is difficult to treat them harshly.
"Yes, my mother is right. Yesterday I just said a few words because I couldn't stand your abuse of children, and you hit me. I wonder if there is still law in this world?"
The woman continued to follow what Aunt Zhang said, pretending to be innocent and pitiful, which made the villagers who were watching the fun sigh.
"Oh? When did I abuse a child? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Jiang Xueying was speechless about such people. She admitted that she had indeed abused children in the past, but she had never hurt them in any way.
"mother!"
Before the woman could answer, a soft voice sounded, and Ye Xiaojin quickly ran towards Jiang Xueying, threw herself into her arms, and stared at the two people from the Zhang family with a pout.
"My mother is very kind to us, don't bother me!"
He also remembered what happened yesterday. It was this woman who tried to pull him away, so he was beaten by his stepmother. His stepmother now is a very good person, not what they say.
The child's behavior is the most real reaction. Seeing Ye Xiaojin clinging to Jiang Xueying so much, he really doesn't look like someone who has been abused by a vicious stepmother. Many people have already made up their minds.
It seems that some rumors cannot be fully believed, and people will gradually change.
