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

Wen Shutang raised her eyelids and glanced at him when she heard that. It was no wonder that Xiao Yizhuo spoke rudely, because her reputation was so bad.

She bit off the last hawthorn and casually stuck the wooden stick into the pile of firewood passing by.

"Don't think too much about it. I just suddenly felt that I was too harsh on three children."

Seeing Xiao Yizhuo's obviously unbelieving eyes, Wen Shutang also felt that this reason was a bit too outrageous, but she couldn't explain it. She couldn't say that it was because she had completely changed into a different person, right? Who would believe it if she told others?

"Okay, okay, stop staring at me like that. I'm doing this for myself. I don't want to be divorced."

Wen Shutang shrugged at him, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

This was indeed the truth. Although she did not care much about reputation, in this era, a divorced woman would not be able to survive.

Even if she wants to separate from this family in the future, she has to wait until she has thoroughly understood this place.

Hearing her say this, the suspicion in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of disgust.

"Then be good to the children." He said and walked towards home.

Wen Shutang rolled her eyes at his back. She naturally did not miss the disgust in Xiao Yizhuo's eyes.

But in the final analysis, it was because the original owner had committed too many sins. Xiao Yizhuo was originally an outsider, and his family lived in a small, dilapidated house at the end of Da'an Village, relying on hunting for a living.

The two had no intersection, but the original owner accidentally met Xiao Yizhuo on his way home from hunting, and was immediately attracted by his strong physique and outstanding appearance.

Later, the original owner found out that Xiao Yizhuo's family could eat game several times a month to improve their diet. She was lazy and wanted to eat meat, so she started to pester Xiao Yizhuo.

He often creates chance encounters and strikes up conversations with people, and has even used such despicable tactics as sneaking into people's homes in the middle of the night.

Xiao Yizhuo was extremely annoyed and was able to accurately avoid the original owner's entanglement every time.

But the original owner became more and more courageous. She found out that Xiao Yizhuo would go to the big river outside the village to bathe on a fixed day every month. She would ambush him in advance, and when he arrived, she would start taking off her outer clothes, shouting "molest" while doing so.

It was afternoon, and everyone in the village had finished their farm work and was preparing to go home. Upon hearing Wen Shutang's shouting, some enthusiastic villagers immediately rushed over.

The result was that everyone saw the two of them standing in a river in dishevel. Although Xiao Yizhuo explained, few people believed him. After all, in this place, women valued their reputation more than their lives.

Xiao Yizhuo obviously didn't expect Wen Shutang to use his reputation as a joke, so he didn't dodge it.

Finally, under the auspices of the village chief, the two got married hastily. Xiao Yizhuo suffered a loss and was very disgusted with the original owner.

He was even more annoyed when he found out that the original owner was lazy and abused his children.

The original owner didn't care whether Xiao Yizhuo liked her or not, she just wanted to eat meat.

So overall, the two of them had a bad relationship.

Wen Shutang felt a little aggrieved. What kind of thing was this? It was okay that she was transmigrated into a book, and it was okay that she was not the daughter of a wealthy family, but why was she left with such a mess?

After complaining bitterly in her heart, she felt a little better and walked back home.

When she got home, Xiao Yizhuo had already put everything into the small cupboard.

The three kids were sitting in the yard, each holding a string of candied haws. Xiao Ze's foot seemed to be better, so he followed his brothers and sisters out.

Xiao Wan grabbed the candied haws and looked at it from left to right: "Second brother, is this the candied haws that Xiaohu and the others were talking about?"

"Yes, try it, it's sour and sweet and delicious."

Xiao Ye nodded, looking at Xiao Wan with sparkling eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of her second brother, Xiao Wan carefully took a bite of the hawthorn.

It has a rich sweetness at first, followed by the sourness of hawthorn. The two flavors mix together, creating a mellow and wonderful taste.

Xiao Wan's eyes lit up: "It's really delicious!"

"right."

After getting the affirmative answer from his little sister, Xiao Ye shook his head proudly.

Wen Shutang, who was standing at the gate of the yard, was amused by the interaction between the two little guys and burst out laughing.

The sound attracted the attention of several people in the yard.

As soon as Xiao Wan and Xiao Ze saw Wen Shutang, their smiling faces became stiff again. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xiao Yizhuo who was cleaning up in the kitchen.

Xiao Ye, on the other hand, was not that scared. Instead, he waved to Wen Shutang while holding the candied haws, his tone excited.

"Mom, I gave all the candied haws to my elder brother and younger sister."

Wen Shutang smiled, walked up and touched his little head.

"Aye is great."

Then he turned to look at the other two kids and said, "Although candied haws are delicious, you can't eat them often. You are still young, and it would be bad if you get cavities."

After seeing the three little kids nod, Wen Shutang turned and went to the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves as he walked.

"I'll cook."

In fact, Xiao Yizhuo had been paying attention to her words and actions just now. This woman did not show any disgust or impatience towards the children.

The relationship between the two of them was not very close. The original Wen Shutang would occasionally turn his face away from the children even in front of him and was never so kind.

Xiao Yizhuo frowned, raised his eyes and stared at Wen Shutang, trying to find some flaws on her face.

But Wen Shutang looked calm and there was nothing wrong at all.

Has this woman really changed or does she have other intentions?

"No, I'll do it."

Wen Shutang glanced at him and didn't mean to leave: "Let me do it, can you cook?"

In this era when gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, men are the backbone of a family, whether in a town or a village, and they never get involved in household chores involving pots and pans.

Xiao Yizhuo didn't even raise his head and replied lightly.

“It turns out that I’m the one who cooks.”

Wen Shutang choked. Yes, the original owner was lazy and gluttonous. Not to mention taking the initiative to cook, he never even took the initiative to wash the dishes.

She pursed her lips and said, "Okay, go ahead and stew the meat. The children should eat something good to grow up."

After she finished speaking, she clearly felt Xiao Yizhuo glance at her, and his eyes seemed a little mocking.

"..."

What's wrong with her wanting to eat meat? She has been here for a few days and has not eaten any meat. What's wrong with eating meat?

Wen Shutang curled her lips and turned to go out. It was good that someone cooked for her so that she didn't have to worry too much.

Walking into the yard, she began to fiddle with the heavy millstone piled in the corner, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

I went to town today, but I didn’t seem to find any stalls selling soy products!

If this grinding wheel is still usable, you can buy some soybeans and try to make tofu! Tofu pudding is also very fragrant.

Wen Shutang walked forward and began to fiddle with the stone millstone. Apart from being a little old, the millstone was still quite complete. It should still be usable, right?

Just when she wanted to study the millstone further, the gate of the yard was suddenly knocked.
