Chapter 1 Dressing Up as a Stepmother
The sky is bright.

Carrying a hoe, Qin Yao walked across the muddy path to the west of the village.

"Auntie."

A girl's timid cry came from behind.

Qin Yao stopped and turned around. On the muddy road, two barefooted four-year-olds staggered towards her with water jugs in their arms. There were specks of mud splashed all over the muddy water.

These are the youngest twins of the Liu family, Liu Sanlang and Liu Siniang.

In early autumn, the brother and sister were wearing unfit thin linen clothes with sparse warp and weft. When a finger poked a hole, a gust of wind blew, and their thin bodies trembled violently.

"Why did you two follow?" Qin Yao asked.

Si Niang answered obediently: "My third brother and I are here to deliver water to A Niang."

If you don't drink water, you can't do any work, and your stomach feels uncomfortable.

San Lang glared at his younger sister, "That's not our aunt, the second brother said that you are not allowed to call her aunt!"

Si Niang pouted aggrievedly, and murmured softly, "But, but, I want A Niang."

Qin Yao is a little helpless, is it really okay for you two little ones to say this in front of me?

But what San Lang said was right, she was just their stepmother now, she was indeed not her biological mother, and it was normal for the children to be hostile to him after just two days in Liu's house.

She put the hoe on her shoulders across her shoulders, controlled the balance with her body to prevent the hoe from falling, and stretched out her hand to ask the two to give her the clay pot, "Give me the water, you two go home, it's a long way."

Si Niang nodded obediently, because of long-term malnutrition, there was a big head on her thin and bony neck, which made Qin Yao startled.

Saburo glanced at Qin Yao before handing her the pitcher.

"Go back quickly." Qin Yao urged.

Sanlang took his sister's hand and was about to leave. Siniang broke away from her brother and ran to Qin Yao.

"Auntie, can't you run away?" The little girl looked up at her, her innocent eyes full of longing for maternal love.

The eldest brother and the second brother said that the stepmother would definitely run away when she saw that their family was so poor.

But she didn't want A Niang to leave.

Her biological mother died giving birth to her and her brother. They had never had a mother since they were young, so they were particularly envious of other children who had mothers.

In Siniang's heart, if daddy brings the new aunt back, then she will have a aunt!
She will listen to A Niang's words and help A Niang with work. As long as A Niang is willing to be her A Niang, Si Niang will be very good.

How could Qin Yao endure such hot and innocent eyes? She put down the things in her hands, squatted down, and gently touched her little head, "Siniang, good boy, come home and wait for me."

Hearing that she was coming back, Si Niang's eyes lit up, her small hand tentatively grabbed Qin Yao's finger, and smiled shyly at her, "Si Niang is obedient, go home and wait for A Niang."

"Okay, let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

Siniang was led away by her brother. As she walked, she looked back at Qin Yao. When she saw Qin Yao looking at her, she smiled at her. The smile was so sweet that Qin Yao's heart turned to water.

Qin Yao watched the two children go back to the village, picked up the hoe and the water jar again, and continued walking.

The rolling green mountains are shrouded in mist, and the scent of wet grass floats in the air. This is something you can't feel in a world where natural disasters and zombies are rampant.

Qin Yao greedily took a few deep breaths of such pure and fresh air, cherishing this hard-won new life.

Even if she became the stepmother of four children, even if the whole family is now empty.

But could it be worse than that despairing apocalypse?
It's just that as soon as the memory belonging to the original owner emerged in his mind, Qin Yao's eyes became sharp instantly when he thought of the bastard husband in the original body.

Yuanshen Yaoniang escaped from a disaster, her family died, and she fled to Kaiyang County alone.

In order to register as a household registration and accept official arrangements, the girl Shui Lingling found Liu Ji, a 23-year-old widower with four children in Liujia Village, to be her stepwife.

I thought I could settle down here, but I didn't expect Liu Ji to have nothing but good looks!
He doesn't plant the land, he doesn't do any work, he is the first to join in whenever there is a bustling house, he idles around all day long, stealing chickens and dogs has no right to do it.

If he was born into a wealthy family, he could be a dandy.

However, he was born in a common people's family. With such a temperament, he himself is unrestrained, but it hurts the people around him.

When the biological mother of the stepsons, Mo Shi, was still alive, she could still control his town. The family was a little poor, but at least they still had fifty acres of land. They worked hard all year round to cultivate it, so the whole family would not starve to death.

But ever since Mo died of hemorrhage after giving birth to a twin, Liu Ji, the prodigal son, thought that farming was hard and refused to work. He sold the land whenever he was short of food and drink, and soon sold all the good land in his hand. up!
Fortunately, his three brothers found out and were forced by their family members to keep only two acres.

It's just that the land is farther from one mu to one mu, and it's all in the valley, and the nearest distance is five miles away!
The family is so poor that it is a miracle that the four children are hungry and full, and they can grow up.

Three days ago, the government acted as a matchmaker. Liu Ji brought the original owner home, threw the four skinny children in front of her, walked out and went out to have a good time!

Yaoniang was dumbfounded at the time, she knew that Liu Ji's family was poor, and there were four children who had a difficult life, so she naively thought that as long as the husband and wife work together, life will be easier.

I didn't expect that when the rice vat was opened, there was not a single grain of chaff!
Her body was already at its limit after escaping the disaster, and she had no food or drink at home. Seeing that late autumn was approaching and the cold winter was about to come, she took up the hoe and went to the fields to plant winter wheat in preparation for the coming year.

Unexpectedly, she fell on the kang and never woke up again.

And that bastard Liu Ji hasn't returned home until now. If Qin Yao hadn't traveled here, no one would have known that the girl who wanted to live hard was dead.

"Alas~" Qin Yao sighed, and said in her heart, Yao Niang, let's live a good life together!

But thinking of the current situation of the Liu family, Qin Yao still has a headache.

Winter is coming, and the dilapidated thatched cottage of Liu Ji's house must not be able to withstand the cold winter.

There will be heavy snow here in winter, and the thatched cottages need to be reinforced, otherwise, once the snow gets bigger, they will collapse.

It doesn't matter if the house collapses, but it would be a tragedy if people were crushed to death.

There are also clothes, she and the four children of the Liu family are wearing old clothes given by others. They don't fit well and are very worn out. They don't dare to wash them when they are dirty, because they are afraid that if they rub their hands, they will rot!

You can buy cotton cloth and cotton to make warm clothes by yourself. Qin Yao didn’t even say if she would know how to make them. Anyway, she can learn, right?

Just talking about winter clothes for her and her four children, just buying raw materials would cost a lot of money.

Money, money, she has no money now.

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that she is hungry now.

Her stomach seemed to be on fire, as if her heartburn was going to burst out a big hole, Qin Yao was so uncomfortable that she wanted to kill that bastard Liu Ji to eat meat!

After finally living again, and starving to death again, she will die with regret!
