Dressed as the villain's stepmother

As soon as Jiang Lianzhu arrived, she met Liu Zi at the door who happened to be delivering medicinal materials.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see." Liu Zi shouted enthusiastically.

"Long time no see, Uncle Liu." Seeing that several people on the street were attracted by his voice, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Perhaps many people were attracted by the news of Huichun Hall today. The medical center today was obviously not as busy as before.

"Dad, Sister Jiang, you are here." Liu Qingqing, who was dozing on the side, opened his eyes and saw the two of them, and he immediately became energetic.

She came out of the stands, checked the quality of the medicinal materials with Jiang Lianzhu, and then handed them over to a few medicine boys to return them to their places.

Today happened to be the time to calculate the monthly bills. Liu Qingqing took out the account book and handed it to Jiang Lianzhu, winked at her and said with a smile: "Business has been good this month. I should have made a lot more than last month."

Jiang Lianzhu also had this hunch. When she went to the medical clinic several times, she often found that the medical clinic was full of business.

A few people took their account books and calculated in the corner. After deducting the monthly rent of the shop and the cost of medicinal materials, the profit actually doubled from last month.

Liu Qingqing said with a playful smile: "Let me tell you, I will definitely make a lot of money this month."

Liu Zi also smiled happily: "My dear girl, you have to work hard, and you must not hold Miss Jiang back."

"Okay, okay, since we have earned more, we should also have benefits, right?" Jiang Lianzhu waved her hand and said generously, "You and Uncle Liu will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver each, and everyone else in the store will be rewarded with [-] taels of silver."

"Do I have a share?" Uncle Liu smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Then I won't be polite to you, Miss Jiang."

"Dad, look at your potential." Liu Qingqing looked at her father's money-obsessed look with a speechless face, but honestly took the banknote handed over by Jiang Lianzhu, and the smile on his face became obviously brighter.

What a prude! Liu Zi looked at his daughter's face and silently spurned her in her heart.

Everyone else in the shop smiled happily after receiving the money, cheered and thanked Jiang Lianzhu repeatedly.

"Okay, I won't disturb your work here." Jiang Lianzhu was infected by their happy atmosphere. Seeing that they looked very motivated, and there was nothing to do here, she was ready to leave.

Before leaving, she pulled Liu Qingqing into a corner and whispered a few words: "Please help me pay more attention to the movements of Huichun Hall. If there is anything abnormal, it is best to inform me immediately."

Liu Qingqing blinked in confusion, knowing that she must have her own reasons, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Just rest assured, I will definitely stand guard with both eyes in turn, and I will definitely live up to my mission!" She agreed with a smile.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Lianzhu had nowhere to go.

When I deliberately passed by the Huichun Hall again, the people who came to see the excitement had already dispersed, and the Huichun Hall returned to its deserted appearance with few voices.

The new guy was still busy cleaning up the things messed up by the officers and soldiers, while the steward was sitting in the corner in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Judging from his reaction, he probably found something stuffed in his belt.

Jiang Lianzhu nodded with satisfaction before heading back home.

When they returned to the house, Li Yanhong happened to be returning home after giving lectures, and the two of them looked at each other at the door.

He hesitated for a moment and said a few words to Jiang Lianzhu implicitly. He found that Sanbao's mental state was not very good these days.

Jiang Lianzhu thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case, but he was too busy these days and didn't notice it.

After thanking Li Yanhong, Jiang Lianzhu entered the door.

Not far away, I happened to see three little people holding hands and preparing to go back. They were deaf and looked a little sleepy. Even Jiang Lianzhu didn't notice when he came over.

"Babes, get out of class is over?" She chuckled and looked at the three ostrich babies who were getting closer and closer.

"Mom!" Hearing the voice, Sanbao discovered Jiang Lianzhu and immediately ran over to surround her with bright eyes.

The three treasures were all energetic now, but it seemed to her just now that they all seemed tired.

"Mom, I want to have dinner with you tonight." Liao Xiaole raised her hand and asked.

"We want to have dinner with Mom today." Erbao also pulled the hem of her skirt and acted coquettishly, "Mom has been very busy these days and hasn't been with us for a long time."

Jiang Lianzhu felt she was wrong and patted their heads with some guilt: "My mother was negligent. Let's go back with my mother."

With that said, he took them and walked to his house.

At the dinner table, the Three Treasures were still chattering. Although several people had endless things to say, Jiang Lianzhu was keenly aware that the Three Treasures did not seem to be in good spirits.

Sometimes I was stunned for a few seconds before I reacted and wanted to reply. Sometimes I was stunned and in a daze.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help frowning, urging them to finish their meal quickly, and then let them go back first.

"Xiao Ping, wait a minute, let your younger brothers and sisters go back first." When San Bao was about to leave, Jiang Lianzhu called out to Liao Xiao Ping.

Seeing that she had something to say to her eldest brother, Erbao obediently held hands and went back to his room.

"Xiao Ping, Master, I heard that your mental state has not been very good recently. Can you tell Mom why?" Fearing that he would misunderstand that she meant to blame them, Jiang Lianzhu explained, "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, remember Tell your mother that she can give you some medicine."

Knowing that they made her mother worried, Liao Xiaoping shook her head: "We are not uncomfortable, but when we go to bed at night, we always think of us being kidnapped and our father being injured. We feel a little scared when we sleep, and we always have uneasy sleep."

It seems that the last kidnapping and Liao Yunchuan's injury have left a psychological shadow on them.

It's no wonder that they are not in good spirits. For so many days, these three bastards probably haven't had a good night's sleep.

"How about my mother sleep with you tonight?" Jiang Lianzhu touched Liao Xiaoping's furry head with pity.

Hearing this, Liao Xiaoping's eyes lit up, and then he pretended to cough twice, saying, "We are so old and still have to sleep with my mother. Isn't that bad?"

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with this? No matter how old you are, are you still my mother's children? Let's go, my mother will go over and sleep with you tonight."

Liao Xiaoping then became excited, took her hand and took her back to the house.

"Mom is coming to sleep with us tonight." Liao Xiaoping proudly announced the news as soon as he entered the room.

Erbao immediately cheered.

Mom hasn’t slept with them for a long time.

After asking the three little ones to lie down one by one, Jiang Lianzhu lay between the two treasures and the three treasures and told them the story of Hua Mulan.

"Mom, Sister Mulan is so powerful. When I grow up, I want to be a hero like Sister Mulan and protect you."

Liao Xiaole's voice was full of yearning.
