Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

Chapter 144

Ji Xiu's eyes froze slightly, he didn't expect that Mu Daiyao was not ashamed of his behavior at all, and dared to scold him sharply.

"Xiao Ping, why do you say that about mother? If mother doesn't come out to make money, you and your younger siblings will not be able to pay the tuition for next month's school."

There was a surprised look on Mu Daiyao's face, and then she sadly raised her hands to cover her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that Ji Xiuping would say such words to herself.

"You're talking nonsense, obviously..."

Before Ji Xiuping widened his eyes and made a sound to explain, Mu Daiyao shook his head vigorously, and said with a weeping voice: "It's okay, Xiao Ping, mother knows that you feel that this is embarrassing you, you don't want to help mother , but you shouldn’t slander me in front of everyone.”

"Yeah, why is it a shame to earn money these days?"

"And Mrs. Ji didn't steal or rob, and I just bought her cakes, which are really delicious. It can be seen that she is not a lazy person at home."

Even Ji Xiuping's classmates covered their mouths and discussed in private.

"I didn't expect Xiu Ping to be this kind of person. I couldn't see it in the school at all."

"It's just that, showing a cute look all day long, in fact, you can't even be filial to your own mother."

Seeing that the public opinion around him turned towards Mu Daiyao again, Ji Xiupin suppressed his inner anger, and he squinted his eyes slightly, feeling that the scene in front of him was very familiar.

At that time, it seemed that from this scene, this woman seemed to have completely changed.

For some reason, Ji Xiuping suddenly thought of what Mu Daiyao said to him last night.

No matter how indiscriminate the tricks are, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is enough.

"Mother, it's all my fault. I shouldn't think it's a shame to help you sell pastries. I'll help you now. Xiaokai, you can take your third sister and fourth brother home first."

Ji Xiu's tone was suddenly tinged with guilt, he walked up to Mu Daiyao's side and said respectfully, then turned his head to Ji Xiukai who was standing beside him with a dazed face not knowing what happened commanded.

"Ah? Brother, don't we go home together? Don't we only have this pastry left, and it will be sold out soon."

However, Ji Xiukai obviously couldn't comprehend the meaning of his elder brother's words, but scratched his head foolishly, and asked back.

It was Ji Xiujing who was smarter, he glanced at the speechless flash in his elder brother's eyes, rolled his eyes, and realized it in an instant.

Ji Xiujing tugged on Ji Xiukai's clothes, and said timidly: "Second brother, let's go home early, fifth sister is so young, and she is alone at home all day today, so I don't know what's going on. The elder brother was also left here by the mother to help, so we are the only ones who can go back and look after the fifth younger sister."

It has to be said that Ji Xiujing's words immediately changed the attitudes of the villagers nearby.

"Hey, I remember that Lao Ji's youngest girl seems to be about six years old, so let her be alone at home like this?"

"That's right, no one cares about what you eat and drink all day?"

"So she's a stepmother after all, how can she care so much, even the eldest son of Lao Ji's family is not let go, tsk tsk, it's really cruel."

Seeing this, a smile flashed across Ji Xiuping's eyes.

It was his fourth brother who was smart, not only able to quickly understand what he meant, but also able to change the tone of the people around him with a single sentence.

However, to Ji Xiu's surprise, Mu Daiyao didn't seem to be bothered by the rumors at all, but looked at her with a smile on her face.

"What do you see me doing?"

Mu Daiyao looked at Ji Xiuping with horror, and asked in a low voice angrily.

"No, Xiao Ping can take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and he can also help mother with work, mother is very happy."

Mu Daiyao deliberately raised her voice so that everyone around her could hear it clearly, and at the same time, Ji Xiuping, who originally wanted to leave with the words of his fourth brother, stopped in his tracks.

He could only watch helplessly as his second brother walked home step by step, while he was forced to stay here.

"Folks, I am happy today. All the pastries are sold cheaply. Folks, don't miss it when you pass by. Come and see!"

Not only that, but Mu Daiyao took a look at Ji Xiuping, who was beginning to lose the calm look on his face, and felt relieved, and took the opportunity to promote her pastries again.

Anyway, there are not many pastries left, and the taste of bringing them back tomorrow will definitely be much worse than today's. Why not take this opportunity to lower the price and sell them better.

"Really? How much cheaper? I bought all the leftover mung bean cakes!"

Hearing Mu Daiyao's shout, I bought her mung bean cake at the beginning and thought it was very appetizing, but because the price was still a little bit high, the villagers immediately gathered around, excitedly pointing to the two remaining mung bean cakes on the cart, said loudly.

"Hey, big brother, it's you again. Since we are regular customers, these two copies count as 150 coins for you, and you will also give your child one of the flowering rice cakes. Go back and try something new!"

Mu Daiyao was so happy that her eyes were almost closed, she quickly packed it up and handed it to the other party, then turned around and quickly rubbed Ji Xiuping's head with an unbelievable face.

"I didn't expect that, you are really my little lucky star."

"you!"

If it wasn't for being unable to dodge in time, how could Ji Xiu give Mu Daiyao such a chance to humiliate herself.

He was so angry that he clenched his teeth, and he didn't dare to vent his inner anger in front of the public, so he could only secretly give Mu Daiyao a hard look.

"Xiao Ping, you have to remember to accept the money, hurry up, mother is too busy."

Mu Daiyao thought that Ji Xiuping was not angry enough, so she bumped Ji Xiuping with her elbow, and ordered with an innocent face.

"understood."

Seeing that the business in front of him is getting better and better, Ji Xiuping thought for a while, but he still didn't want to make trouble with the money he got, so he could only temporarily suppress his inner unhappiness, maintain a calm expression on his face, and handed over the copper plate. Accept it.

As more and more copper coins were thrown into the money jar, Ji Xiuping's mood also improved.

After a while, all the pastries in the trolley were sold out, and there was nothing left.

Mu Daiyao showed a sweet smile to the villagers who still had something to say, and said enthusiastically: "I will continue to come tomorrow, folks, if you like to eat, if you eat something delicious, please remember to return it tomorrow." Come and support me!"

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Mu Daiyao happily picked up the money pot and shook it, then glanced at Ji Xiuping who was beaming, and deliberately teased him: "Is it good to make money?"

"it is good."

Although Ji Xiuping was happy, he didn't want to make Mu Daiyao feel proud.

So he just nodded, trying his best not to show any joy.

"You are really strange, since making money is good, why do you still pretend to be old-fashioned?"

Mu Daiyao was suddenly curious, and she didn't know if it was because of making money together, she had a hint of wanting to find out why Ji Xiuping would become an adulterer in the future.

"If you want to say it's strange, you're not much better. Why do you want to take care of me so much? What are you trying to do?"

Ji Xiuping frowned, and asked a question in a nonchalant manner.
