Chapter 014 Punishing the Naughty Child

There is a freshwater river in the island city, one of the branches passes through Hongguang Village and flows into the sea.

People in the village wash clothes in the lower reaches of the river in summer.

Lin Wanxia carried a wooden basin and led Xingxing to the river to wash the changed sheets and quilt covers.

The sheets and quilt covers were all brought by Jiang Sinian himself, all of which were military supplies for the army.

Lin Wanxia thought, Jiang Sinian has retired from the army, but he still has new sheets and quilt covers from the army?

She filled a small basin with water and placed it in front of Xingxing, threw his wet pants into the basin, and ordered: "Wash it clean."

"Why?" Xingxing was unhappy, "I don't know how to wash it. I said I didn't mean it."

He actually rarely wet the bed, and he didn't know why he wet the bed this time.

"You peed on it yourself." Lin Wanxia deliberately put on a fierce look, "If you don't know how, then learn. Either you wash it yourself, or I'll beat you up and help you wash it. It's your choice!"

Xingxing chose to wash herself, squatting in front of the small basin, grabbing her own panties, sobbing and whimpering while washing.

The general idea was to call Lin Wanxia a "bad witch" and a "tigress".

Lin Wanxia was a little curious, "Xingxing, why did you call me a bad witch when we first met?"

"Aunt Xia said that stepmothers are all bad witches, and the good-looking ones are tigresses."

Lin Wanxia: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be angry that she was scolded or proud that the child praised herself for being good-looking.

Lin Wanxia looked at herself in the mirror. The original owner's face was indeed good-looking, with bright features, but due to long-term malnutrition, her complexion was not good, her hair was dry and yellow, and she was too thin, like a walking skeleton, which reduced her beauty.

"Who is Aunt Xia?" Lin Wanxia asked.

It sounded like she had a lot of opinions about her stepmother.

"Aunt Xia is Aunt Xia."

Lin Wanxia: "..."

Xingxing obviously didn't understand what she meant.

After thinking about it, she changed the question: "How old is your Aunt Xia? Is she married?"

Xingxing shook her head, "Aunt Xia is very young and beautiful, not married." However, Aunt Xia didn't seem to be as pretty as the evil witch.

Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows in surprise. Could it be that Jiang Sinian has a partner? Then asked: "Is Aunt Xia the woman you want to marry your father?"

Xingxing shook his head, "No! Aunt Xia said that stepmothers are all bad people. She is a good person and will not be my stepmother. You are the stepmother and you are the bad person."

Lin Wanxia thought to herself: I am afraid that Aunt Xia is the one who wants to be your stepmother the most, but she is taking a roundabout way to conquer you, a little fool, first?

"If I were really a bad person, you would have thrown you into the sea to feed the fish if you kept scolding me."

Xingxing was a child after all, and he was obviously frightened and shut his mouth.

After a while, he quietly raised his head to look at Lin Wanxia.

This stepmother didn't seem to be as scary as Aunt Xia said.

Before, when he accidentally wet the bed, Aunt Xiang would beat him, and Aunt Xia would scold him, but this stepmother didn't beat him or scold him.

Moreover, washing pants didn't seem to be as difficult as Xiaopang said, it was much better than being scolded and beaten.

***

At breakfast time, Lin Wanxia and Xingxing fought for the second time.

Lin Wanxia's preparation was very simple, eggs and milk were mainly high in nutrition and protein.

The eggs were laid by the chickens raised by Zhu Qiaoyun, and the milk was bought by her in the town.

In the island city, milk is sold by pound, 80 cents per pound.

Lin Wanxia bought half a pound and spent 40 cents.

She was pale and thin, malnourished and needed to be supplemented. Xingxing was a thin child who also needed nutrition. This breakfast was just right.

But Xingxing was picky and refused to eat eggs, and even more so refused to drink fresh milk because he disliked the fishy smell.

He was clamoring to eat stuffed buns and fried cakes.

Lin Wanxia coldly watched Xingxing stamping her feet and crying in the room. She finished her breakfast slowly before speaking: "Xingxing, I am a bad stepmother. Have you ever seen a stepmother who is tolerant of her children? If you don't want to eat, I will definitely not force you, but I will not give you anything to eat before lunch. If you don't eat lunch, you will be hungry until the evening."

It is not suitable to eat greasy food early in the morning, and it is not a good habit to be picky about food.

However, a three-year-old child would not listen to big truths, so Lin Wanxia simply chose to threaten.

And adhering to the principle of not wasting, she ate Xingxing's share as well.

Xingxing stopped crying immediately and looked at Lin Wanxia in the eye.

After a few seconds, he was sure that Lin Wanxia was not angry and had no intention of hitting him, and his crying voice rose again. He lay on the ground and began to roll from side to side.

He shouted, "I want to eat stuffed buns!" "I want fried cakes!"

No wonder Aunt Xia said that stepmothers are bad people who will starve him and beat him.

Although this stepmother doesn't beat him, she will steal his food.

Lin Wanxia: "..."

Before the book, there were not only delicious foods on short videos, but also how to deal with naughty children.

Among the thousand ways to manage children, Lin Wanxia chose to ignore them.

She took out her own account book, opened it from the back, and wrote the shopping account book.

On July 12, washing a sheet costs 50 cents, a pair of children's pants costs 20 cents, drying the quilts costs 20 cents, and breakfast costs 30 cents.

After Lin Wanxia finished writing, she couldn't help but praise herself with satisfaction: "This price is too conscience!"

Xingxing cried for a while, and when she saw that Lin Wanxia ignored him, she stopped crying and got up from the ground. His big dark eyes glanced around, and finally fell on the snacks that Jiang Sinian prepared for him. He walked over without hesitation and reached out to the biscuits.

As soon as his hand touched the biscuit bag, the biscuits flew away.

Xingxing looked up, and Lin Wanxia, ​​who appeared behind him at some point, was holding his biscuits in her hand. She opened the package without hesitation, took a piece and put it in her mouth.

Above his head, in addition to the crisp sound of biting biscuits, there were also biscuit crumbs falling.

Xingxing took a step back, shielding her head with her two little hands, and glared at Lin Wanxia like a little wolf cub, "The cookies are mine."

"So what? Your dad owes me money, and this is used to pay off the debt." Lin Wanxia smiled like Snow White's sinister stepmother, pointing at the remaining snacks, "From now on, all of these belong to me."

Xingxing rushed over crying and wailing, but he was less than one meter tall and weighed just over twenty kilograms. He couldn't get the snacks and couldn't beat Lin Wanxia, ​​so he could only vent his anger by crying.

Lin Wanxia was not afraid of him crying, after all, she didn't have to worry about disturbing others in her own private house in the countryside.

She took a net bag of snacks into her room and locked it. She held up the opened biscuits in her hand and said to Xingxing: "I told you, if you don't eat breakfast, I won't give you any food except water before lunch...including snacks."

Xingxing cried even louder.

At noon, Lin Wanxia made a dish of stir-fried beans and blanched Chinese cabbage. After hesitating for a while, she took out the pork she bought yesterday and cut it into minced meat. She made a few meat-filled pancakes with the remaining flour.

It was enough for the two of them to eat.

Xingxing was obviously surprised when he saw the pancakes, and stared at Lin Wanxia in a daze.

Lin Wanxia explained: "I didn't give you pancakes in the morning because it's not suitable to eat greasy food in the morning. Now you can eat them at noon. You can tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I can make or buy it for you within my ability. Of course, if it's beyond my ability or not what you should eat at your age, I won't give it to you. I respect you, and you have to respect my work and food. You have to eat whatever I make. If you like it, eat more, if you don't like it, eat less, but you can't not eat it."

Xingxing nodded, not quite understanding.

He only knew that this tigress stepmother was not as bad as Aunt Xia said.
