Chapter 2
Youyou is the smartest kid in the village, that’s been confirmed by the village chief himself!
At this moment, the smart boy tilted his head and sorted out the cause and effect of the whole incident.
What is a stepmother?
knew!
Just like Erni's mother at the end of the village, she made Erni do a lot of hard work and didn't allow her to eat enough. Erni has lost weight after only being the stepmother for a few days!
But why do the stepmother and Youyou’s own mother have the same face?
The stepmother is pretending to be Youyou’s biological mother, but if that’s the case, where is Youyou’s biological mother?
Will she - come back?
"Huanming, don't be angry with Youyou. Peach cakes are a rare thing. Children usually can't eat much of them. How can I argue with a child about this one bite of food?" Meng Jinyu smiled and said softly.
Jiang Huanming looked at her in surprise.
His wife looks okay, but very plain and never dresses up.
At this moment, she lowered her head and looked particularly gentle. Compared with her usual fierce look of standing with her hands on her hips and cursing in the street, she seemed like a different person.
He usually didn't ask about family affairs and didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he met her eyes, his heart suddenly softened.
"You are spoiling your children too much, and instead letting them get ahead of you. Youyou is still young, and it's time to set rules. If she disobeys in the future, you must scold her and beat her," said Jiang Huanming.
Jiang Youyou’s eyes widened when she heard this.
What is her dad talking about?
Let her stepmother beat her!
From childhood to adulthood, the well-behaved Youyou has never been beaten!
When Jiang Youyou heard this, the corners of her mouth curved downwards, and she quietly moved her little hands back to protect her little butt.
No wonder Sister Erni said, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather!
"I'm too indulgent to my child." Meng Jinyu blinked her eyes, looking sad but gentle, "I'll listen to you from now on."
Jiang Huanming's heart trembled when he saw her weak expression, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Meng Jinyu pursed her lips and snuggled gently in his arms.
Youyou pursed her lips and stared at her father and stepmother seriously.
If the little girl didn't get angry, they would think she was easy to bully!
"You're lying!" The little girl shouted fiercely with all her strength.
The sound broke the tranquility and warmth in the room. Meng Jinyu and Jiang Huanming looked at Youyou in surprise.
Youyou tilted her soft little face up and explained herself word by word: "The peach pastry has been at home for a few days and is no longer crispy. Youyou was waiting for mom to wake up so that she could give her the peach pastry. Otherwise, the peach pastry would have been in my tummy a long time ago."
As she spoke, she walked with her short legs to between Meng Jinyu and Jiang Huanming, separating them.
"You can't bully Youyou just because you are young." Youyou said seriously.
Hearing this, the older brother and sister, who had been puzzled, also spoke up.
"Yeah, Youyou always thinks of mom when she has something delicious!"
"My sister is not a stingy person!"
Upon hearing this, the younger brother also looked over, his bright eyes full of worry for Youyou.
Meng Jinyu had no idea about the child's age. She thought Youyou was still young and would definitely let her pinch and knead her into a ball. But she didn't expect that this child was so eloquent.
At this point, if she continued to be serious, the children would be unable to cope with the arguing.
Children are easy to deal with. First understand their current situation, and it will not be too late to solve the problem in the future.
The corners of Meng Jinyu's mouth froze slightly. She walked to Youyou and apologized, "Youyou, did Mom misunderstand you? I'm sorry, Mom hit her head and I feel a little dizzy."
Sure enough, the expression on Youyou’s stern little face finally relaxed.
However, just as Meng Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulder was patted gently.
“It doesn’t matter, just be an honest adult in the future!” Youyou’s well-behaved voice is so cute.
A little effort can achieve a great result, but the words are sincere and earnest.
This just proved that Meng Jinyu was lying just now.
"Swish", Meng Jinyu's face changed completely.
Jiang Huanming looked at Meng Jinyu helplessly with an unhappy expression.
Is it necessary to make a fuss over such a small matter?
She really——
I can't do anything well.
At the same time, now Youyou will never give her peach cakes to outsiders for free.
She opened the oil paper package, put her little nose close to smell the peach pastry, then opened her mouth wide and took a big bite.
It turns out it’s still very crispy and crunchy!
…
Youyou and her friends played in the drying yard for the entire afternoon. After dinner, they returned to the inner room as usual.
Usually when her brothers, sisters and father are not at home, Youyou would go to the inner room to watch her mother do needlework.
"Go to your brother and sister's room and sleep." Meng Jinyu said lightly.
Youyou blinked and found that her stepmother's hair was combed neatly and she had even put on perfume.
That's the smell of clam oil. Dad bought it a long time ago, but her mother was reluctant to apply it and just put it under the pillow to smell it.
Little Tuanzi came to her senses and decided that she didn’t want to sleep with her stepmother!
With a "swoosh", Youyou turned around and left, her back looking free and easy.
The third branch of the Jiang family has four children. The eldest brother and the second sister are twins, a boy and a girl. They are twelve years old this year, and the younger brother is two years younger than Youyou.
The brothers and sisters have a very good relationship. Every time when their older brothers and sisters leave for school, Youyou is always reluctant to leave and secretly swears in her heart that she will grow up quickly and keep up with her older brothers and sisters’ pace in school!
"Sister, look what I brought you." A crisp voice sounded, and the eldest brother Jiang Cheng opened the army green schoolbag mysteriously and kept digging things out.
It’s dried sweet potatoes!
Youyou raised the corner of her mouth greedily and reached out to take the dried sweet potatoes happily.
But at this moment, her little heart skipped a beat and some strange images emerged in her mind.
That was the scene in her previous dream. At this moment, the content of the dream became clear.
The eldest brother is the most stable, like a little man. His thin shoulders have long been responsible for taking care of his younger siblings.
In the original plot, he heard that Youyou was lost in the town, so he sneaked out of the village that night to find her.
But it was raining heavily that day, it was dark and the road was slippery and rugged, so he fell down the mountain and broke his leg.
On the surface, his stepmother took great care of him and was praised by the villagers as the best in the world.
Unfortunately, the eldest brother was always immersed in inferiority and self-blame for losing his right leg and failing to protect his sister, and he was never happy again.
"Eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, I will." Jiang Cheng snorted and deliberately reached out to grab his sister's dried sweet potatoes.
Youyou pursed her lips and stared at her brother's right leg for a long time, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm giving it back to you. You can't take jokes anymore!" Seeing that his sister was about to cry, Jiang Cheng quickly stuffed the dried sweet potatoes into her palm.
"Youyou, look at the hair on my second sister's head. Does it look pretty?" The voice of second sister Jiang Guo interrupted Youyou's thoughts.
Youyou blinked hard to blink back the tears.
The original plot about Jiang Guo also flashed through my mind.
In the original plot, the second sister was the one who was conquered by her stepmother the fastest.
She didn't like studying, so her stepmother let her not study. When she was beginning to fall in love, her stepmother turned a blind eye and deliberately led her in the wrong direction.
When she was fifteen, my second sister had grown into a beautiful young lady and fell in love with a male educated youth.
Youyou believes that if her mother were still alive, she would definitely not agree with her second sister dating at such a young age, but her stepmother doesn't care and even encourages her.
Facts have proved that my second sister was really hurt. As soon as the notice of the educated youth returning to the city came, they just left without saying goodbye. The rumors in the village never stopped, and my second sister never stopped crying.
Later, the stepmother quickly arranged a marriage for the second sister and married her to an old widower in the neighboring village to help him take care of his two children.
Those two children are not even much younger than my second sister.
"Youyou is stunned by it. Doesn't it look good?" Jiang Guo raised his chin cockily and took off the flower on his hair with a smile. "Then I'll lend it to Youyou. You have to return it."
With a "click", the small hairpin was stuck on Youyou's soft hair.
The little girl looked at her sister with a bright smile foolishly, feeling sad in her heart.
"Ah——" A childish and soft voice came from Jiang Shan who was curled up on the kang.
Jiang Shan is the youngest child in the family. He is three years old, but he still cannot speak and is very timid. People often say behind his back that he is stupid.
But Youyou knows that her younger brother is her little follower, not a little fool.
Youyou waved at Shanshan, and the skinny little kid stumbled two steps and rushed towards his brothers and sisters.
Jiang Youyou was still a little kid herself. When she picked up her younger brother, the two of them looked like two porcelain dolls on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, which made Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo laugh uncontrollably.
Jiang Shan couldn't speak, but looking at the smiling faces of his brothers and sisters, he also grinned, his eyes curved and as bright as the stars in the sky.
"Shanshan - Shanshan will sleep with her parents today." A voice came from outside the house. It was the stepmother's voice.
Meng Jinyu pushed the door open and entered the room, carrying Jiang Shan away.
Jiang Shan wanted to be with his brothers and sisters. He fluttered his little hands and feet, looked timid, and couldn't utter a word.
Youyou's momentum suddenly rose. She put her hands on her hips and was about to snatch her younger brother from her stepmother, but suddenly, she froze.
Because her brother's life in the original plot suddenly emerged in her mind.
This is horrible.
