Chapter 47 Because She's a Stepmother
"no!"

Without further ado, Ji Xiu immediately interrupted Mu Daiyao's words.

Those silver taels are the dowry he will give to his two younger sisters after he hides them, and the two younger brothers will also need a lot of money to marry a bride, so they must not be handed over now.

"It's ok. Since you can't do this, then you can't. It just so happens that your father has been home for a while, so let him check the expenses at home during this time."

Mu Daiyao doesn't care anyway, besides the five taels of silver she got thanks to the system, even the dowry she brought has been squandered by a few brats from the Ji family.

If Ji Zhixu is really asked to come forward, it may not necessarily be who will suffer more.

"What's the matter?" Ji Xiukai, who didn't know what his elder brother did, said bluntly, with his hips on his hips, "I'll check it out, just to let Dad see where you spent all your money!"

Before Mu Daiyao could respond, Ji Xiuping quickly stopped her and said firmly, "Wait! I'll learn."

Ji Xiuping knew that if he didn't agree, even if his father had a bad impression of this woman, he would ask him to return all the hidden money to her to take care of the house because of the word filial piety.

When it comes to taking care of the house, Ji Xiuping sincerely does not believe that this woman can take care of the house well. Rather than that, it is better to learn how to cook and wash clothes as she said, and give in temporarily.

"Not only you, but also your two good brothers and sisters."

Mu Daiyao glanced at Ji Xiujing whose eyes were wandering around and didn't dare to look at her, then glanced at Ji Xiukai whose neck was still stuck, shook her head and said, "Forget about Tongtong, Tongtong is still young."

"eccentric."

Although it is not a happy thing to be favored by Mu Daiyao, but Ji Xiukai just wanted to make things difficult for this woman, he crossed his arms, and said something weird.

"Yes, I'm biased, because I'm a stepmother, not your own mother."

Isn't it just yin and yang, she really thinks she can't, Mu Daiyao raised her eyebrows, and deliberately responded back.

Ji Xiupin pulled his second brother's sleeve to signal him to shut up, then looked up at Mu Daiyao and said softly: "Do you start learning to cook tonight? Can we wait until tomorrow, after all we have been hungry all day No, no spirit."

It's rare that this little bastard would talk to Mu Daiyao in a negotiating tone, which made her not used to it.

After thinking about it, Mu Daiyao finally reluctantly agreed, she beckoned and signaled Ji Xiuping to come forward with her two younger brothers.

"Come here and watch how I do it. I may not have time to teach you again tomorrow."

"What are you going to do tomorrow?"

As soon as Ji Xiukai finished speaking, he immediately felt a little regretful, why couldn't he control his mouth that wanted to confront Mu Daiyao.

"Think of a way to earn some money, what else can I do?"

This time, Mu Daiyao was not angry with Ji Xiukai, but answered his question casually while washing rice, "After buying grain at home, there is not much silver taels. If you don't earn silver, do you drink northwest wind?"

"Didn't daddy give you all the silver every time he went home? How can you spend money so well, hmph, what a prodigal bitch."

As if he had caught Mu Daiyao's handle, Ji Xiukai's voice rose again, making it too late for Ji Xiukai to stop him.

"Then you have to ask your good brother, the silver tael"

Before Mu Daiyao could finish speaking, Ji Xiuping jumped up on the spot and covered her mouth.

Fortunately, Mu Daiyao also has quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged Ji Xiuping who would fall down in a second, otherwise, based on his height, he might fall to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Daiyao later realized that she subconsciously protected Ji Xiuping just now, she quickly let go of her hand, frowned, and wiped her hands on the towel next to her in disgust.

Ji Xiu's "thank you" that he was about to blurt out was swallowed by him immediately, he turned his head and ground his teeth, thinking in his heart who cares about her to protect her!
It's just that when Mu Daiyao hugged her, Ji Xiuping smelled a faint sweet fragrance from this woman, which was completely different from the usual unkempt smell of oily smoke all over her body.

As if he had changed into a different person, Ji Xiu pinned his warm earlobe with his hands, unwilling to admit that he felt like he was in the arms of a real mother for a moment at that moment.

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that it's getting late, don't bother with my second brother, just teach us how to cook."

Ji Xiu quickly regained his sanity, the little person was only as tall as the stove, and couldn't see Mu Daiyao's movements clearly.

Mu Daiyao didn't want to waste time either, she frowned slightly, and after a "tsk", she pointed to the stack of firewood piled up by the wall, and said, "Go and move the wood to burn the stove, and the rest will move a stool to learn tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuping greeted his two younger brothers, and the three children began to carry the logs obediently, squatted down and stuffed them into the stove one by one.

"Okay, stuffed too much, there is no air in it and it can't burn."

Seeing that they were obedient and obedient, Mu Daiyao didn't have the intention to trouble them specifically, and even kindly gave them some advice.

As soon as the flint rubbed, the twig that started the fire was ignited, and Mu Daiyao threw it into the stove deftly, and soon the flames under the big iron pot burned extremely vigorously.

"Well, are you going to make fried pork?"

Ji Xiujing looked very well-behaved at this time, he asked cautiously, with hope shining in his eyes.

"Don't do it," Mu Daiyao directly extinguished the hope in his eyes, how could she have any spare money to buy meat, "This time your father came back earlier than planned, and only hunted a wild boar, but it was from someone else's house It has nothing to do with us."

"Then what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

Hearing that there was no stir-fried pork to eat, Ji Xiujing's whole body withered like a beaten eggplant.

"Drink porridge."

Mu Daiyao didn't bother to knead the dough, she had a conscience if she had brown rice porridge for a few of them to drink.

"We've been hungry all day, so you just use brown rice porridge to perfuse us."

Ji Xiukai protested in dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to say anything more, after all, the eyes of the elder brother beside him were glancing over to tell him to shut up.

"Okay, you can cook what you want to eat."

She won't spoil him, Mu Daiyao rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"Drink porridge as long as you drink it. What's the big deal? When I learn it, young master, see if there will be a place for you in this family."

Being so provoked by Mu Daiyao, Ji Xiukai was able to hold back his temper, and just muttered something in a low voice.
