Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

"I...my name is Song Yao."

The little girl was timid and refused to stretch out her hand or look up at her.

She was used to seeing naughty children at home, but Su Liu was more confident about this kind of child. He stretched out his hands to hug her, and patted the dust on her body thoughtfully.

"I'm Su Liu, you can just call me sister."

"Sister...Sister Su, Yaoyao will be yours from now on. If you have anything to do, you can give me your orders."

Song Yao still lowered her head, as if she was very afraid of Su Liu.

Su Liu felt a little dumbfounded. It seemed that this child thought he bought her to be a slave. She was a good socialist young man, how could she do such a thing.

"Don't worry, I invite you here. I just want you to help take care of my snack shop. You don't need to do it yourself. You can just help sweep the floor and do some chores. I will take care of your food and accommodation."

she explained patiently.

A look of confusion and surprise gradually appeared on Song Yao's face, as if she didn't believe there was such an easy thing in the world.

Su Liu smiled helplessly and had to add: "Of course, I also want to see if you are smart enough, so you have to work hard to show it."

"Okay!" Song Yao nodded nervously.

Su Liu felt relieved, took Song Yao's hand, and continued to say as he walked:

"But I don't have any free space at home, so I have to live in the store. I'll clean it up tomorrow. If you want to stay today, just live with me."

After saying this, she felt Song Yao's body stiffen, obviously nervous, and Su Liu secretly felt a little funny.

On the way back, she insisted on taking her to a clothing store to buy a new dress.

At first, Song Yao refused, but until Su Liu said that her dress would affect the reputation of her store, she slowly chose the simplest one.Su Liu took matters into his own hands and bought an extra set for changing and one for wearing at home.

When he got home in the evening, Su Liu was busy heating hot water, helping Song Yao freshen up and put on new clothes.

Song Yao's facial features are still very delicate, and her complexion is fair, like a lily of the valley soaked in dew.

"Yes, once this person is clean, he will be different immediately."

Su Liu admired his "war trophies" with satisfaction. Song Yao still didn't speak, maybe because of shyness, her face was a little red.

Several children came over after school to join in the fun.

"Sister Xiaoliu, who is she?"

Seeing that there was an extra person in the house, the children naturally found it strange and almost surrounded Song Yao to watch.

"She was invited by me to help look after the store. She is staying at our house temporarily today."

Su Liu explained while pulling the dolls over.

"We can help you too!" Erwa seemed a little unconvinced and said with her head held high.

Lian Sanwa also echoed: "Yes, Qingqing also set up a stall with Sister Xiaoliu!"

Although the eldest child was more mature and did not speak, he still looked at her with bright eyes.

"You guys, stop messing around! You can't go to school yet!" Su Liu gave everyone a slap in the face unceremoniously.

After saying that, she seemed to realize something and looked to Song Yao aside.

"Speaking of which, I didn't ask you just now, are you literate?"

"I know a few of them."

Song Yao stuttered a little while answering, her fingers constantly rubbing her sleeves.Later Su Liucai learned from her that when she was very young, her family was relatively well off and her parents were very kind to her. But when she first started learning to read and write, her family's financial situation fell into decline and the whole family couldn't even have enough to eat. In the end, he even came to the point of selling his daughter.

Seeing that Song Yao seemed a little too nervous, Su Liu quickly said:
"It doesn't matter, I can teach you in the future, and you don't need to be literate to help me."

At the moment, she doesn't plan to involve others in the production process because they don't understand her recipes and don't know how to use those modern materials.

After hearing these words, Song Yao's face softened a little, but when she felt the hot gazes of the other three dolls, she tensed up again.

Su Liu finally noticed something strange about her, and quickly waved her hand to the three Zaizai:
"Go, go, go out. Sister Song Yao and I have something serious to talk about."

The three babies seemed a little unhappy, but they still walked away obediently.

"Sorry, these are my children. They are usually noisy. If they are disobedient, you can just scold them."

Su Liu closed the door and showed an apologetic smile to Song Yao.

Song Yao shook her head flattered. On this day, she often showed such an expression, which gave Su Liu a headache.

She used a few wooden boards to build a temporary bed for Song Yao, and laid out a layer of her own spare bedding.

Because Song Yao is thin, sleeping on such a bed is not crowded at all.

Just when the two were about to go to sleep, they heard a knock on the door. Su Liu first signaled Song Yao not to move, then put on some clothes, got out of bed and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, the person who came turned out to be Shen Luochen.

"What's the matter?" Su Liu had never seen him come to her so late, and she was a little curious.

Shen Luochen made a gesture to her, meaning to come out and talk. Su Liu looked back at the room and followed Shen Luochen out of the room.

"What is the origin of the person you brought back?" Shen Luochen asked straight to the point.

Su Liu had no intention of hiding Song Yao's affairs, so when he asked him this question, he was very straightforward:

"Just like me, I was betrayed by my parents."

After saying this, it was obvious that Shen Luochen's face darkened a bit. After all, he was once a "buyer".

So Su Liu added:

"Her parents wanted to sell her to an old man who was half dead. I thought she was so pitiful, so I bought her back. It just so happened that I still needed a helper in the store."

Hearing this, Shen Luochen's face recovered a little, and then asked:

"Does she have any other relatives in her family? Can you confirm her identity?"

Su Liu was a little impatient when asked, but still said patiently:
"There should be no more, and I just asked her to help, so there won't be any problems, right?"

But Shen Luochen shook his head and said seriously:

"You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts. It's your first time meeting, so it's better to be careful."

"I know, I'm a busy man." Su Liu nodded casually and patted Shen Luochen on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, even if you are an undercover agent sent by your enemy, they won't be able to find out anything around me, because I don't know anything about you, right?"

She didn't think Shen Luochen cared about her own safety. She was just used to being cautious over the years, so she would subconsciously be suspicious of a stranger when she saw him.

Shen Luochen was silent and just looked at her with a complicated expression. After a long time, he spoke again:
"One more thing. I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. If I hurry, I'll be back in half a month."
