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

Chapter 42
"I didn't mean that, just because..."

Ji Zhi Xu Pingli is not a sharp-tongued person, and when Mu Daiyao asked him such a rhetorical question, he didn't know how to answer for an instant.

Of course he knows that many things cannot be judged by just listening to one person's words, but he is very concerned about the rumors in the village and the children's complaints against Mu Daiyao.

"Because people in the village say that my stepmother is vicious, and the children think that I am such a person after hearing too much. No matter how much I do, it won't help. Did you ask me again how wronged I am?"

At first Mu Daiyao just wanted to act in a play, but what she said later was somewhat emotional.

"Tell me, did you say last night that you would punish the children not to have dinner for two days and to copy books?"

"Yes."

Ji Zhixu thought for a while, and there was indeed such a thing, he nodded honestly.

"I'm just superficially following what you said. Even, I was afraid that the children would be hungry. When I went to the market, I bought snacks and wanted to secretly feed them to the children while you were away."

While secretly rejoicing that she grabbed a handful of pastries from Ji Letong because of her greediness, Mu Daiyao rubbed the corners of her eyes, pointed to the big wooden barrel on the ground, and complained pitifully: "You know why I carry Are you going to wash the quilt by yourself?"

"Because your punishment made Xiao Kai unhappy, but you are the child's own father, so he vented his anger on me."

"I was afraid that you would blame Xiao Kai after you found out, so I secretly wanted to wash the quilt by myself."

Hearing this, Ji Zhixu froze for a moment, most of the doubts and anger that had filled his stomach had been washed away, leaving only a faint sense of guilt and distress for the woman in front of him.

"Do you know why Xiaojing told you?"

"why?"

"Because Xiaokai's quilt was wet, I let the two of them sleep together, but Xiaojing didn't want to, so I came to complain to you about this."

After a while, Ji Zhixu said in a low voice: "So that's why you told me that the thief shouted "Stop the thief."

"Yes, because I am also an ordinary person, and I get angry too."

Seeing Ji Zhixu's sudden realization, Mu Daiyao lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows proudly.

She promised that every word she said was true and credible, but she had a little embellishment during it, which made it sound more irritating.

At this time, the system couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to stop Mu Daiyao from continuing to fan the flames.

"Master, your way of completing the task has already hurt the child's image in their father's mind."

"No, I just chose another way of educating children. You promised me not to interfere."

Mu Daiyao refuted the system confidently.

Later, taking advantage of Ji Zhixu being moved by her own words, Mu Daiyao directly said what she really wanted to express: "Sister, I know that there are a lot of rumors about me outside, saying that I am a vicious stepmother and treat children They are not good, but can you not just listen to them and ignore me?"

"I see. I will ask Xiao Kai and the others about this matter later. If they really did something wrong, then I will not condone them."

Although Ji Zhixu did not directly agree to herself, Mu Daiyao also knew that everything should be done step by step.

This man is willing to ask one more question instead of directly denying his own words, which is already a small step forward.

So she must definitely get the three taels of silver, Mu Daiyao thought of this, and unconsciously brought a little happy smile on her brows and eyes that were still stained with tears.

This scene fell in the eyes of Ji Zhixu, he thought his little lady would be happy because of this trivial matter, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Ji Zhixu bent down to pick up the wooden barrel, took a deep look at Mu Daiyao, and said, "I'm going to hang the quilt up, the village chief has something to do with me, I'm not at home for dinner, you can eat by yourself, no need Leave me some food."

"it is good."

Mu Daiyao nodded quickly, without any intention of asking, which made Ji Zhixu look at her again, wondering why her mood changed so much.

"The women in the village have taught me that women should take less care of men's affairs, because what men do is a big deal, and if women take too much care of them, they will be hindered."

Mu Daiyao immediately realized that her happiness was a little obvious, she quickly suppressed the upward curve of her mouth, and explained to Ji Zhixu with an innocent face.

Ji Zhixu carried the wooden bucket to the wooden rack specially set up to dry clothes in the yard, and easily put a large quilt on it, letting it bathe in the sun to dry.

After a while, his voice came muffled from behind the quilt.

"No, what I did was not a big deal. If you ask, I will tell you."

However, until he finished everything, he didn't wait for Mu Daiyao's reply. He turned around, and there was no one in the yard.

For some reason, Ji Zhixu lowered his head and patted his clothes splashed in the water, and smiled self-deprecatingly, he actually felt a little weird in his heart.

At this time, Mu Daiyao had already patted her ass and went back to the room. She filled a large pot of water for herself, drank it happily, and then happily started to settle accounts with the system.

"Hey, don't pretend to be dead, bring me three taels of silver."

"Host, touch your purse, the money is already in it."

The system is still very trustworthy, although it really doesn't like the way its host completes the task.

"Hey, you have a conscience."

Satisfied, Mu Daiyao reached into her bosom and took out the purse, shaking it up, but soon she frowned, the weight of her hand was not right.

She immediately opened her purse and took a look, her eyes suddenly widened a lot, and she complained fiercely: "Why are you missing one or two, you deducted it!"

She worked so hard to get this little money, and it's still inexplicably less. If the system appeared in front of her now, she would definitely shake it by the neck.

"Since your husband-in-law, the host, only believed a part of your words, based on a comprehensive assessment, the completion of your mission, the host, is only worth two taels of silver."

Part?

That man was so wary, Mu Daiyao fell down on the table in frustration, now she only cares about the one tael she lost.

"Trickster."

Mu Daiyao muttered unhappily, in exchange for a gloating laugh from the system.

"It's hard."

After a while, Mu Daiyao recovered her mood. She stood up expressionlessly, looked at the woman with long hair scattered in the bronze mirror by the bed, and her voice rang softly in the room.

It was rare for the system to ask with a bit of human touch: "What's wrong with you, host?"

After a while, Mu Daiyao's voice was a little disgusted, "The clothes are wet and uncomfortable."

system:"······"

No matter how much it cares about its own host, it will curse itself and never complete the task.
