The two children are only six years old and four years old respectively.
She can do other things, but she really has no experience in taking care of children.
Sure enough, her yelling made the two children cry even more desperately.
"Wow..."
That's it, those two siblings are definitely not going to make it today...
Liu Yingying couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears.
"If you cry again, I'll throw you into the mountains to be eaten by wolves!"
Sure enough, those words were quite intimidating, and the two little brats really didn't dare to continue howling like that.
She then pouted and began to sob quietly.
Seeing them like this, Liu Yingying felt a little sorry for them.
Although she had a falling out with Lü Sufeng, the two children were still young.
Judging from their emaciated and pale appearance, they must have been starving for a long time...
"Alright, all of you come in!"
"But you're not allowed to cause any trouble, or I'll still beat you up!" Liu Yingying threatened deliberately.
When the two children walked into the yard and saw everyone eating delicious egg noodles, their mouths watered.
Liu Yingying saw this and sighed.
She made five servings of egg noodles today, and since it took quite a while to make, she thought about it and went into the kitchen to start a fire and boil water.
Then I scooped a bowl of flour from the bag, cracked an egg into it, poured in some water to dilute it, and then used chopsticks to dip it into the boiling pot.
Just a few minutes later.
She brought out two bowls of steaming hot egg noodle soup and placed them on the table, calling Zhu Jiabao and Zhu Jiahui to come and eat.
"This noodle soup is very hot, please eat slowly!" Liu Yingying reminded them.
The little girl, Zhu Jiahui, looked at the noodle soup in front of her, then at her, and said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Mother was right, there really is food at Aunt's place...
Zhu Jiafu watched his two younger cousins enjoying their meal, then raised his indignant little face and complained to Liu Yingying.
“When my brother and I were starving, my second and third aunts never cared about us and even kicked us out of the old house!”
The implication is that, why should the Third Aunt's family send their child over to freeload when they can't even afford to eat?
Liu Yingying sighed.
She was by no means a saint, but then again, neither the original owner nor she herself actually had any deep-seated hatred for Lü Sufeng.
Besides, those are all matters between adults.
She couldn't bear to watch her two children starve to death.
After thinking for a while, Liu Yingying gave her three children a heartfelt explanation.
"Your father was a scholar, but have you ever heard this saying?"
The three siblings: "What did you say?"
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles!
"Do you really want to stay in Peach Blossom Village like this your whole lives? Don't you want to live a good life?"
“Especially you two brothers, you can go to school and participate in the imperial examinations in the future.”
"But whether you go into politics or business in the future, this is your starting point. You must remember that there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world, but if you are smart enough, then both friends and enemies can become your help!"
Zhao Di and Zhu Jiafu were both confused.
Zhu Jiawang's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
"I see!"
"Although we have conflicts with our third uncle and aunt, we can use coercion and bribery to get them, or even more people, to work for us in the future!"
"Liu Niang, am I right?"
"Well, that's a rough way to understand it..."
After finishing their meal, the group of children, led by Liu Yingying, began to get busy.
In one day, a total of more than 30 catties of winter melon candy were made and packaged into nearly 50 bags.
And this only used less than a third of the winter melon. If he could sell it all in town tomorrow, besides breaking even, he could also make more than two hundred coins...
To create a better marketing gimmick and boost sales, Liu Yingying added some appetizing ingredients.
By the time we finished our work, it was getting dark.
Liu Yingying took out two coins and gave them to Lin Cuicui; "This is your wages for today, thank you for your hard work!"
Lin Cuicui looked at the two copper coins in her palm and almost burst into tears.
Her grandparents used to say she was a money-loser, but now she can earn money with her own hands.
"Thank you... thank you so much..." Lin Cuicui said to Liu Yingying, trying to hold back her sobs.
"No need to thank me! You deserve this!"
"We made so much candied winter melon today, it might be difficult for Zhao Di and me to carry it all to the city tomorrow. Would you like to come and help?"
"I'll pay you three copper coins a day, and meals will still be provided. How about that?"
Liu Yingying looked at her with a slight smile on her tired face.
Lin Cuicui suddenly raised her head. Why was Aunt Liu taking such good care of her?
However, she didn't ask the question aloud, but simply nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow!"
Not long after Lin Cuicui left, Liu Yingying went to the side room to take a bath with hot water and came out.
Then they heard Lü Sufeng's voice from outside.
"Sister-in-law, Erqiang and I are back. We're here to pick up the two kids. Thank you so much for today!" Mr. and Mrs. Lü Sufeng smiled obsequiously.
Zhu Jiabao and his sister ate three meals at Liu Yingying's place today. Although they missed their parents, they didn't really want to go back with them.
There'll be no food when we get back, and we'll go hungry again...
Seeing her two children hiding behind Liu Yingying, Lü Sufeng pretended to be angry and said fiercely, "You two little brats, come here right now! Do you want to stay overnight at your aunt's house?"
Liu Yingying knew exactly what Lü Sufeng was up to, but she didn't expose her.
Instead, he instructed Zhaodi to go to the kitchen and fetch two scallion pancakes.
She bent down and handed the scallion pancakes to Zhu Jiabao and Zhu Jiahui.
"My aunt and sister are going to the city tomorrow. You both did a great job today. Can you come over and help me again the day after tomorrow? Okay?"
"good!"
The two children received the scallion pancakes, and their worried expressions finally disappeared.
Seeing that Liu Yingying did not refuse to take in her child, Lü Sufeng breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her repeatedly before taking the child home.
But as soon as he got back, he ran into Ma Qiumei.
She stood in the courtyard, looking at Lü Sufeng with disdain, and mocked, "It seems that sucking up to that bitch Liu is more comfortable than begging. Lü Sufeng, Lü Sufeng, you two have even lost all sense of shame for a bite to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Sufeng didn't back down and immediately retorted.
"I'm begging anyway, as long as my children can have food, I don't care who I'm begging from!"
She paused as she spoke, looking at Ma Qiumei with a sneer on her lips; "Besides, I'm not asking an outsider, she's my own sister-in-law. She hasn't said anything, so why are you having such a big problem with her?"
"Are you just saying this because you can't have the grapes?"
These words struck a nerve with Ma Qiumei, who immediately flew into a rage and wanted to pick a fight with her.
But Lü Sufeng ignored her, had her husband block her way, and took the child back into the house.
Ma Qiumei was furious!
