I became the villain's deceased wife

After settling Hao'er, Xie Yunzhe knelt in front of Liu again:

"Mom, please beat me up!"

His mother was seriously ill, and he should have taken good care of his younger brother, but he let him get so badly injured.

Liu's face was filled with misery, but she still helped Xie Yunzhe up from the ground and comforted him in a gentle voice:

"This is not your fault. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so depressed after encountering setbacks and put all the responsibility on you..."

She touched Xie Yunzhe's head, her eyes full of self-blame.

"You brought us here from the capital by yourself, and dealt with the tribesmen for so long. You must be very tired, right?"

Xie Yunzhe suddenly burst into tears.

Although he was the eldest son in the family and the only one the family could rely on after his father passed away, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy after all. He suddenly fell from the high clouds into the quagmire, suffered from the cold and contempt, and was on the verge of despair.

Liu also started to cry. She reached out her hand to wipe her son's tears and said:

“Thank you for your hard work during this period.

In the days ahead, mother will shoulder the burden with you!"

As she said this, she turned to look at Song Tian next to her, and reached out to pull her over.

"If it weren't for what Song Tian said to me this afternoon, I still wouldn't understand the whole thing. Although she didn't marry you voluntarily, I think she is a good girl.

Our family is having a hard time making ends meet these days, and one more person means more strength.

Yunzhe, mother hopes you can treat her well."

Xie Yunzhe glanced at Song Tian coldly, and that look made her shiver.

"Got it, mother."

Xie Yunzhe responded expressionlessly.

Song Tian was just about to express his opinion, saying that although he didn't have any great abilities, he could still provide food and clothing for his family.

But before he could open his mouth, his stomach started to rumble.

The original owner had been in a state of suspense since she got married. Today, Song Tian had been busy saving people for the entire afternoon. She didn't even know how long this body hadn't eaten.

What was supposed to be an impassioned speech now turned into Song Tian touching her empty stomach in embarrassment.

Liu quickly came back to her senses and forced a smile on her pale face:

"Look at my memory. I clearly wanted to invite you to eat just now, but I forgot what I said after such a while."

Song Tian was already so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. Upon hearing this, she immediately followed happily:

"Madam, please take a rest. I will help you serve the food."

It is not easy for women in this era.

Obey your father at home, and obey your husband when married.

Even if her husband died, she had to listen to her son.

It would be even more miserable if she didn't have a son. The clan members would take away her property. Both her husband's family and her own family could decide her fate. She couldn't decide whether to remarry or stay at home and work like a slave.

So even if the original owner was extremely unwilling, the Song family married her to Xie Yunzhe, and she could only follow the Xie family. Even if she died, she would only be a ghost of the Xie family.

If a person runs away secretly and is caught, he will be spat on and scolded by thousands of people, and may even be drowned in a pond.

When Song Tian thought about how Xie Yunzhe pinched her neck and strangled her just after she came through, she felt so scared that her back went cold.

However, although Xie Yunzhe looks vicious, he is actually quite filial to his mother.

Song Tian's intuition told her that if she wanted to live a good life in the Xie family in the future, she'd better please her mother-in-law first.

As for Xie Yunzhe, she felt a little scared when she saw him, so she decided to keep her distance from him.

With a smile on his face, he quickly served the meal, and Song Tian sat obediently in her seat.

"Madam, I was stubborn these past few days, but now I understand that the Song family has been unkind to me, but I can't take it out on my husband.

In the days to come, we are one. Only when my husband lives well, I will have a good life.

So I will serve my husband well, respect my mother-in-law, and love my uncle.

Only if we live a good life ourselves can we prevent those who want to harm me from getting what they want!"

As a modern person, it was a bit awkward for her to say this, but Song Tian had always been flexible and could say anything as long as it would make her life better in the future.

Liu's face showed some surprise. She picked up a few pickles from the only plate in front of her and put them into Song Tian's bowl. She said softly:

“It’s best to figure it out.

Although our family has fallen on hard times, we were once well-educated and sensible people. As long as you live a peaceful life, we will not treat you harshly. "

Xie Yunzhe snorted softly, still looking at her with disdain.

Although this woman saved Hao'er today, she was his shame after all. Not only did she cause him to lose his livelihood, but she also caused him a lot of trouble.

Song Tian turned a deaf ear to his disdain and just smiled sweetly at Liu:

"Madam, you are well-educated. Although I married into this family by mistake, I am very lucky to have a mother-in-law like you!"

Xie Yunzhe snorted heavily again.

Liu smiled unconsciously:

"Since you are so lucky, don't call me Madam all the time. Just call me mother like Yunzhe does."

Song Tian then realized that she had not changed her words, so she mustered up the courage to call out "Mom".

Liu nodded in satisfaction, and finally there was some joy on her face:

"Okay, let's eat quickly."

As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and took a sip, then frowned slightly.

Song Tian was really hungry, so she picked up the bowl and took a big sip, then she frowned.

This cornmeal porridge is too unpalatable!

Not only was it undercooked, but it also had a strange burnt smell, as if the pot was not cleaned properly!

She tried for a long time not to vomit it out, and finally swallowed it with gritted teeth.

No matter how flexible she was, she couldn't utter a word of compliment at this moment.

Perhaps she was a little too obvious. Liu said with shame:

"Mom has never cooked before, so the food she makes doesn't taste that good."

Xie Yunzhe next to him also had a painful look on his face while eating, but he still put the food into his mouth slowly and gracefully, with his brows only frowned for a moment and then relaxed.

"As long as it's made by my mother, my son thinks it's delicious."

Song Tian silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

As expected of the future villain, his skills are indeed profound.

"From now on, let my wife do the cooking."

Song Tian added weakly.

After having a difficult meal, Song Tian felt that she was not only hungry, but also had a stomachache.

"Mother, I spent five taels and one qian of silver on treating Hao'er's injury today. The doctor said that I need to change the medicine in three days, which will cost another tael of silver.

This time, Hao'er was injured because that fat boy let the dog chase him.

I think we can't just let this go. We need to ask that fat guy's family to pay for the medical expenses!"

She still owed the stingy shopkeeper six cents of silver. Even if she didn't ask him to pay her back in full, she had to pay back the debt.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu looked at her eldest son in surprise, and Xie Yunzhe told her what had happened in general.

He skipped over the fact that Song Tian had collected the money and only said that it was his hidden reserve fund.

Liu sighed after hearing this:

"The Xie clan didn't want to take us in in the first place. It was your uncle who helped us put in a lot of good words so that we could barely find a place to stay. If we continue to make a fuss and ask them to pay compensation, wouldn't that only create more resentment?"

The fat boy's father is Xie Bocheng, a very famous person among the younger generation of the Xie family. He also has a lot of influence in the clan and it is not easy to offend him.

She patted Xie Yunzhe's arm:

"Just bear with it for now."

Xie Yunzhe was silent for a while.

Although Hao'er was unwilling to see him suffer such a hardship, his mother was right. The Xie clan members had been finding all kinds of excuses not to take them in, and if they continued to make trouble, they might really be kicked out.

But is Haoer’s injury going to be in vain?

"All is up to mother's arrangement!"

He agreed expressionlessly.
