I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Wen Shutang carried a large bag of things in one hand and held Xiao Ye's hand with the other. He went to buy some seasonings before slowly walking towards the ox cart.

On the way, they passed by an old man selling candied haws. Xiao Ye stood still and could hardly walk. He stared at the bright red candied haws and swallowed his saliva. Wen Shutang looked at his belly helplessly. This kid was good in every way except that he ate too much.

Wen Shutang took out a cloth bag, spent eight cents to buy four strings of candied haws, and then hurried over to the ox cart.

Xiao Ye held the candied haws in his hand and looked up at Wen Shutang cautiously. He felt relieved when he saw that she didn't look unhappy.

In the past, his stepmother would never spend money to buy him snacks.

The little kid held the candied haws for a long time and was reluctant to take a bite.

Wen Shutang took a bite of the hawthorn wrapped in rock sugar. The sour and sweet taste was very good. She squinted her eyes and inexplicably felt that the taste of this candied haws was very authentic.

Since she became the supreme commander, she no longer has any rest or free time to experience the life in the city.

By the time the mother and son reached the oxcart, the waiter from the grain store had already delivered the goods, and Uncle Liu had already helped to load them onto the cart.

"Thank you, uncle." Wen Shutang thanked him in a clear voice.

Uncle Liu waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You two mother and son definitely can't lift it. I'll help if I can. Get in the car quickly."

Wen Shutang nodded. Most of the people in the village were as honest and simple as Uncle Liu.

She carried Xiao Ye into the car and followed him in. As soon as she sat down, she heard someone talking.

"Oh, you brought the child back? I was just wondering what I would do if I couldn't see the little baby."

"What to do? Just let it sit for a while." Wen Shutang replied indifferently.

Aunt Wang snorted and looked at the bags of things around Wen Shutang with red eyes.

"I don't know where the money came from to buy so much. Could it be that someone has stolen it from us?"

When the people in the car heard what Aunt Wang said, they subconsciously touched their pockets.

Aunt Sun frowned and tugged at her arm, her tone somewhat unhappy: "Why do you always target young girls? That's enough."

Aunt Wang turned around and said, "How could I bully her? I'm telling the truth."

Wen Shutang glanced at her indifferently: "What truth? Did you see me stealing silver?" She paused and turned to Uncle Liu.

"Uncle, wait a minute, someone is slandering me. I have to take her to the government office."

When Aunt Wang heard about the government, she immediately lost interest and stammered with her neck stiff.

"I, I'm not going."

"If you're not going, just shut up. No one thinks you're dumb. I didn't want to talk to you, but you're still pushing me. You must have eaten garlic at noon, your mouth stinks."

Aunt Wang was so angry at Wen Shutang that she couldn't say a word. She could only glare at her hatefully and shut up.

Wen Shutang snorted in his heart. There are always those who are so mean that they have to come out and get scolded. The people in this place are still very old-fashioned. The most taboo for ordinary people is the government office. It is unlucky to get involved in a lawsuit.

Aunt Wang is a hot-tempered person who likes to haggle over everything. She doesn't have a very good reputation in the village, and everyone enjoys seeing her get humiliated.

Seeing that everyone had stopped making noise, Uncle Liu smiled and started driving back to the village.

Xiao Ye sat in the car with one hand tightly grasping Wen Shutang's sleeve, and the other hand holding a candied haws, licking it from time to time, but he was reluctant to eat it.

Apart from Aunt Wang rolling her eyes at Wen Shutang from time to time, the atmosphere in the car was quite harmonious and everyone was very quiet. It wasn't long before they returned to Da'an Village.

Uncle Liu stopped the ox cart and said, "We're here, everyone get off."

Everyone got off the cart. Wen Shutang jumped off the cart with his things and turned around to hug Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was no longer as afraid of Wen Shutang as before. He hugged her neck tightly with his two little hands and stayed in her arms obediently without moving.

The little guy looked up and suddenly shouted excitedly towards the distance.

"father!"

Wen Shutang paused in taking the things and looked in the direction he was shouting.

A tall man wearing coarse linen clothes walked towards this side. Only when he came closer could Wen Shutang see his face clearly.

His eyebrows were clear and sharp, his features were deep, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his pair of sharp and deep black eyes looked straight at Wen Shutang. Coupled with his tall and strong figure, Wen Shutang couldn't help swallowing.

She claimed that she had seen many handsome men, but none of them could compare to the man in front of her. This man completely met her aesthetic standards.

This man was also unlike the skinny men she had seen before. He gave Wen Shutang the feeling of a tiger lurking in the grassland, ready to attack at any time.

Xiao Yizhuo walked closer and took Xiao Ye from Wen Shutang's arms. His movements were not gentle, as if he was afraid that Wen Shutang would hurt him.

A pair of black eyes stared at Wen Shutang calmly. He had just returned today and saw Xiao Ze lying in bed. Xiao Wan looked worried. When he asked, he found out that it was Wen Shutang who took Xiao Ye to the town.

This woman has always had bad intentions. She might have other intentions by taking A Ye away, so he went straight to the village entrance and waited for them.

Xiao Yizhuo had just thought it through. If he only saw Wen Shutang and not Xiao Ye, he would never let this vicious woman go.

But now Xiao Ye came back safely and didn't look frightened at all, which made Xiao Yizhuo a little confused about this woman.

After hearing Xiao Ze talk about Wen Shutang's abnormal behavior in the past few days, he became even more confused about what this woman was up to.

Seeing his protective look, Wen Shutang rolled his eyes in his heart and pointed at the rice and flour on the cart.

"You've come just in time. Let's move all the things back home. Ah Ye, come down quickly and give the candied haws to your brother and sister."

"Okay, Dad, put me down quickly. I want to go give candied haws to my big brother and little sister!"

Xiao Ye nodded happily, and stretched out his legs as if he was going to jump out of Xiao Yizhuo's arms.

Xiao Yizhuo was afraid that he would get hurt, so he bent down and put him down.

Xiao Ye grabbed three strings of candied haws and ran home happily.

Xiao Yizhuo watched Xiao Ye run away, then turned around and took the three bags from the car. He frowned, wondering where this woman got the money to buy food.

It was a bit difficult for Wen Shutang to lift the three bags, but Xiao Yizhuo carried three bags in one hand as if he was carrying chickens, effortlessly.

Wen Shutang was holding only a bag of meat in one hand and a half-eaten candied haws in the other, and was walking slowly back home.

Xiao Yizhuo followed her silently.

Neither of them spoke. Wen Shutang said it was just right not to speak so that she wouldn't have to deal with it.

"What tricks are you playing again?"

It was Xiao Yizhuo who couldn't help but speak first.
