Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 13 The Jealous Man Appears

The little brother who didn't buy mutton flashed to the left like smoke and dust, and after making sure that there was no one following him, he stopped in front of a spacious house.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom."

Knocked a few times according to the law, and soon someone opened the door and complained, "Bisong, where have you been, and why did you come back?"

Bi Song stepped into the courtyard with a dejected look on his face, "I smelled a fresh fragrance at the market, and wanted to buy some to taste, but it was gone when I got there, which made my trip useless."

"Tsk, what kind of delicious flavor does this backwater food have? If you want to eat it, let's go back to the capital." The man said, his tone suddenly became low, "I haven't woken up yet, and I don't know that he insists on coming to this backcountry place to cook it." What, it's really bad luck to be assassinated as soon as you arrive at the place."

"Fortunately, someone bandaged my grandfather, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see him." Bi Song shuddered, with a look of fear on his face.

"By the way, did you throw away the water bag in my arms?"

"No, but the origin of this thing is unknown, and the material is strange, so I put it away..."

The two entered the room while talking.

As if hearing their voices, the unconscious man moved his fingers lightly.

……

When Qiao Lianlian took the children to the butcher shop to buy meat, he found that there was a blacksmith shop next door.

With an idea, she went into the shop for a stroll, and saw the traps, fine iron cages, and some special equipment for catching animals as expected.

I asked about the price, and it was quite expensive, a full three taels of silver.

But thinking that it could be used for a lifetime, Qiao Lianlian gritted his teeth and decided to buy it back.

She took out the only five and a half taels of silver left at home from the laboratory, and was about to pay, when someone pulled her arm lightly.

Qiao turned around again and again, and saw Gu Que's face full of hesitation.

"What's wrong?" She looked over encouragingly.

Gu Que pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "A sheep is only a hundred coins, and this three taels of silver can buy thirty sheep, and...in our family, no one knows how to hunt."

Eight or nine-year-old children already have their own consciousness, and the Gu family's children are even more precocious, and they speak like little adults.

Qiao Lian pursed his lips, not angry, but rather happy.

The fact that Gu Que can tell her this shows that she is not so afraid of this stepmother, nor hates her so much, which is a good sign.

Qiao Lianlian decided to respect the opinions of the children. She pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's vote with a show of hands. If Xiao San and Xiao Si are not here, it's just the four of us. I agree to buy it. Where's Geer?"

Gu Ge actually didn't quite understand what the stepmother and sister were talking about, but her heart had already been captured by the stepmother, and she said directly, "Ge'er listens to mother."

Gu Que's face turned dark, this heartless white-eyed wolf.

It seems that she can only pin her hopes on her elder brother.

However, when she turned her head to look at Gu Cheng, she found that her eldest brother nodded quietly, "I agree to buy."

Three to one, Gu Que lost.

Qiao Lianxie chose a set of trapping equipment, bought two sheep that had been peeled, and brought some food, and lost most of his family's fortune.

Fortunately, the blacksmith saw that they were cheerful, so he not only gave them a catalpa, but also asked someone who dropped by to take them back.

It is a spacious flatbed cart with two sheep in the front, traps and boxes in the back, and a few women sitting in the middle. At first glance, it seems a bit majestic.

Along the way, it attracted the attention of many people.

The donkey cart stopped at the gate of the Gu family's old house, and Aunt Liu was picking shallots at the gate. Seeing this, she said in surprise, "From the third family, are you... wanting to hunt?"

"I'm going to learn it. It's a job. I need to earn more money to support my five children." Qiao Lian smiled again and again.

In fact, it is to pave the way for the prey that I will kill in the future.

Aunt Liu nodded again and again, pleased with Qiao's repeated changes, while putting down the green onion in her hand to help carry things.

The two left-behind children in the house heard the movement and also ran out wheezing.

After seeing the two plump whole sheep, Xiao Gulou drooled in disappointment.

"Mother, are we going to eat lamb again tonight?"

"Eating mutton for several days in a row, I'm afraid you will get tired of it, so eat pork today." Qiao Lianlian couldn't help laughing.

Gluttonous kids are so cute.

Except for the three younger ones, the whole family was busy moving things, and the whole old house was full of joy and bustle.

Until, an unpleasant voice sounded.

"Hey, is this a fortune or if you sell a child, you can make money too?"

Before Qiao Lianlian raised his head, the faces of the five children were all dark.

Gu Ge timidly leaned closer to Qiao Lianlian, grabbing the hem of her clothes in fear.

Qiao Lian raised her eyebrows again and again, and looked at the woman who was speaking - she was about in her early thirties, she looked pretty well dressed, but her complexion was very dark, and she looked like someone who was used to doing farm work.

It turned out to be the sister-in-law of the Gu family over there.

Last year, her husband-in-law was a deserter on the battlefield, and Gu Laosan was captured and used as his head, and died in battle.

The children lost their father, and she also became the little widow of her husband who "killed him".

However, this person is also hypocritical. On the surface, he is full of guilt towards the third sister-in-law, but in fact he scolds and instructs her. She was also the one who brought up the word "Kefu".

When the original owner was kicked out by the Gu family, she instigated the original owner to abuse a few children, and finally the whole village began to hate the original owner, so she stood up again and said that she had already seen through that the third sister-in-law was not a good person.

The typical two-faced and three-sword show the face of a scheming woman to the fullest.

Ordinarily, the Gu family kicked these girls out, and the two families have nothing to do with each other.

But that was on the premise that Qiao Lianlian and the children were living a very unsatisfactory life.

In the past few days, the once cowardly, incompetent and irritable Gu Laosan's family has undergone a transformation. It has become better, and it will make money and love the children. I heard that the meat is served in big bowls for the children.

Today was even worse. I bought a set of expensive traps and two whole sheep, looking like I was getting rich.

The people in Gu's old house couldn't sit still.

Some people suspected that Qiao stole the money from the Gu family when he left again and again, while some people thought more about it, fearing that something bad would happen.

So, Mrs. Gu volunteered to come to inquire about the news.

"This mutton is good. Cut some for me when I leave later. The children in the family are quite greedy." Mrs. Gu thought that Qiao Lianlian was still the original owner's stupid and dull character, and her attitude was very contemptuous, "You don't know how to hunt. , What are you doing buying a trap? It’s a waste, why not give it to your elder brother to hunt, and you will definitely be indispensable if you get something.”

Qiao Lian didn't speak.

Aunt Gu became even more presumptuous, "However, you have to explain clearly where the money came from. Are you... raised by wild men outside?"
