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

Leaning against the door to calm down, Wen Shutang walked to Xiao Ze's room. Xiao Wan and Xiao Ye were not in the room.

Xiao Ze was sitting alone on the bed with a book in his hand. When he saw Wen Shutang coming, he smiled and put down the book.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, but my throat is still a little hoarse. How are you? Does your stomach still hurt?" Wen Shutang moved a stool and sat beside the bed, looking at Xiao Ze.

Although his face was still a little pale, he was still very energetic.

Xiao Ze shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just a skin injury. The doctor said that I will recover if I take medicine on time."

"That's good. Fortunately, no internal organs were injured."

"The doctor in town said the same thing. Although he was hit hard, his lungs were not seriously injured." Xiao Ze responded with a gentle expression.

Wen Shutang looked at the young man in front of her and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She didn't expect that Xiao Ze, who seemed gentle and easy-going on weekdays, could show such a fierce side in a critical moment.

"Thank you Ze."

Xiao Ze was stunned, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his handsome face: "Mom, you don't have to thank me. It is my duty to protect you and my brothers and sisters. The teacher said that a real man should protect the weak. Besides, how could I watch the thieves bully my mother?"

Wen Shutang patted the back of his hand. If Xiao Ze hadn't jumped out to protect her and delay time, there was no telling what that beast Xu Ren would do, although she was ready to fight for her life.

Xiao Ze pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Mom, Aye doesn't seem to be in good condition. He just said some very discouraging words to me."

Wen Shutang nodded: "I know everything, don't worry, Aye has recovered now."

"Really? I just advised him several times, but he seemed not to listen at all." Xiao Ze's tone suddenly became relaxed.

"Aye feels that there is a gap between him and you and Wan'er, so his self-esteem is hurt. It's okay, I've already talked to him." Wen Shutang patted the back of Xiao Ze's hand.

"That's good. Ah Ye looks carefree at ordinary times, but in fact, she is the one with the most thoughts among us, and she is also the most sensitive."

Xiao Ze sighed: "In fact, when he was a child, Aye was indeed carefree and had no worries at all, but since his mother passed away, Aye has changed completely. He was silent for a long time."

Wen Shutang frowned. Xiao Ze knew that they were not real brothers?

"Ano's mother?"

"Yes..." Xiao Ze suddenly thought of something and his expression froze. He forgot that Wen Shutang didn't know about this yet.

Noticing his change in mood, Wen Shutang immediately spoke to comfort him, "Your father has already told me about your life story."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Ze's expression relaxed.

That’s right, Dad should have trusted her very much.

Xiao Ze nodded: "At that time, Aye's mother put the three of us in the cellar. Aunt said that we had to wait for someone to come and pick us up before we could come out. Aye cried and shouted that he didn't want to leave his mother, but was forcefully pushed into the cellar by his aunt. Because Aye cried too loudly, he attracted the rebels. In order to protect the few of us, Aunt was hacked to death at the door of the cellar. Aye just watched his mother die in front of his eyes."

Xiao Ze fell into memories, a sad look on his face.

Wen Shutang didn't expect Xiao Ye to have such an experience, and was stunned. He watched his mother die in front of his own eyes, and he must have felt guilty for a long time.

This also explains why he was so scared by Xu Ren that he couldn't move at all. Wen Shutang felt very uncomfortable. She only knew that children's childhood was not perfect, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Mom used to be very mean to us. Aye often stared at the moon alone late at night." Xiao Ze felt very sorry for his younger brother.

Although Xiao Ye appears to be carefree and doesn't seem to care about anything on weekdays, he is actually the most sensitive one.

Hearing what Xiao Ze said, Wen Shutang pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Ze thought he had said something wrong, he scratched his head: "Did I say too much? Ah, I didn't mean to say that my mother was a bad person in the past."

Wen Shutang came back to his senses and patted the back of his hand with a smile: "It's okay, you are telling the truth, I was really a bad person before, thank you Aze for telling me these things."

Xiao Ze was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Wen Shutang was no longer the vicious stepmother who beat and scolded them at every turn, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Aye likes mother very much now. I think Aye really recognizes you. Although father is very good to us, I think only mother can heal the pain in Aye's heart."

Wen Shutang listened to what he said carefully and nodded in agreement. Time can heal the pain a person has suffered in his youth, but it cannot untie the knot in a person's heart. Someone is still needed to help guide him.

After chatting with Xiao Ze for a while, Wen Shutang felt that he had a deeper understanding of the two children, especially Xiao Ye.

After walking out of the house, Wen Shutang took a deep breath and looked up at the bright sun hanging in the sky.

After being called mother by them for a long time, Wen Shutang also developed some maternal instincts. She couldn't bear to see these three children suffer any injustice, especially when she knew that Xiao Ye had suffered such an injury when he was young, her heart was filled with deep pain.

Now she just wanted to hug the little boy.

But no one knew where Xiao Ye had gone. Xiao Wan was standing in the yard feeding chickens with a bowl.

Xiao Wan caught a glimpse of Wen Shutang from the corner of her eye, her eyes lit up and she turned around to greet her: "Mom, are you feeling better?"

"Much better. What are you doing, Wan'er?" Wen Shutang walked up to her and asked.

"Feed the chickens. Look, these chicks have grown up. Will they be able to lay eggs in a few days? If they can lay eggs, I can make egg custard for you and brother to nourish your bodies." Xiao Wan said with a smile, holding the bowl.

Wen Shutang laughed. These children were really well behaved, sensible and filial.

"Wan'er is so sensible." She reached out and touched Xiao Wan's soft head.

Xiao Wan suddenly raised her head, blinked her big eyes and whispered, "Mom, can you let me study medicine as soon as possible?"

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment, then he squatted down and looked directly into Xiao Wan's big eyes: "I originally wanted to send you to the town clinic after the New Year, why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

Xiao Wan bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before replying, "I had no way to help everyone when they were injured. I thought if I knew a little bit of medical skills, everyone would suffer less."

She saw Wen Shutang unconscious and had no idea what to do. She also saw Xiao Ze holding his stomach in pain and was powerless to do anything. Xiao Wan hated this feeling of powerlessness.

After hearing her answer, Wen Shutang suddenly understood that the little girl was very thoughtful. It seemed that not only Xiao Ye, but even Xiao Wan had thought seriously about this crisis. Everyone wanted to improve themselves.
