Chapter 1 Dressed as stepmother

The sky is bright and clear.

Qin Yao carried the **** and walked slowly through the muddy path towards the west end of the village.

 “Aniang.”

The girl's timid cry came from behind.

Qin Yao stopped and turned around. On the muddy road, two barefoot four-year-old babies staggered toward her with water bottles in their arms. Seeing her stop, they sped up and stepped on the ground with their little feet. There were specks of mud splashed all over the muddy water.

These are the youngest twins of the Liu family, Liu Sanlang and Liu Siniang.

In early autumn, the brother and sister were wearing thin linen clothes that didn't fit well, with sparse warp and weft. When they poked holes with their fingers, a gust of wind blew, and their thin bodies trembled violently.

How could Qin Yao endure such a hot and innocent look? She put down the things in her hands, knelt down and gently touched her little head, "Sister, be good, go home and wait for me."

There are also clothes. She and the four children of the Liu family are wearing old clothes given by others. They don't fit and are very shabby. They don't dare to wash them if they get dirty. They are afraid that they will rot if they are rubbed with their hands!

The eldest brother and the second brother said that the stepmother would definitely run away when she saw that their family was so poor.

And that **** Liu Ji has not returned home yet. If Qin Yao hadn't traveled through time, no one would have known that the girl who wanted to live hard was dead.

Winter is coming, and the shabby thatched house of Liu Ji's family will definitely not be able to withstand the cold winter.

 But she didn't want A Niang to leave.

When the biological mother of the stepchildren, Mo Shi, was still alive, she could still control a small town. The family was a little poor, but at least they still had fifty acres of land. They worked hard all year round to cultivate it, so the whole family would not starve to death.

I thought I could settle down here, but I didn't expect that Liu Ji was nothing but good-looking!

The land is not cultivated, the land is not worked, and he is the first to join in the excitement of any house. He idles around all day, stealing and stealing, and there is no proper way to do it.

Hearing that she was coming back, Siniang's eyes lit up. She tentatively grabbed one of Qin Yao's fingers with her little hand and smiled shyly at her, "Sister, be obedient and go home and wait for Auntie."

Yao Niang was confused at the time. She knew that Liu Ji's family was poor and had four children, so she naively thought that as long as the couple worked together, life would be better.

 Without drinking water, people can't do any work and their stomachs will feel uncomfortable.

In order to register and accept official arrangements, the 18-year-old girl found Liu Ji, a 23-year-old widower with four children in Liujia Village, to be her stepwife.

 Even if she became the stepmother of four children, even if the family now has only four walls.

You can buy warm clothes and make them yourself. Qin Yao doesn't say whether she knows how to make them, but she can learn them anyway, right?

Si Niang pouted in embarrassment and murmured in a low voice, "But, but, I want A Niang."

If he was born into a wealthy family, he could be a dandy.

 Unexpectedly, when the rice vat was opened, there was not a single grain of chaff in it!

　　Her body was already at its limit after escaping, and she had no food or drink at home. Seeing that late autumn was approaching and the cold winter was about to come, she took up the **** and went to the fields to plant winter wheat in preparation for the coming year.

Qin Yao watched the two children return to the village, picked up the **** and the water jug ​​again, and continued walking forward.

But Sanlang is right. She is just their stepmother now, and is indeed not his biological mother-in-law. Moreover, it has only been two days since he came to the Liu family, so it is normal for the children to be hostile to him.

 “Go back quickly.” Qin Yao urged.

 Money, money, she doesn't have half a penny now.

“Why are you two following me?” Qin Yao asked.

It doesn't matter if the house collapses, but it would be a tragedy if it crushes people.

 But Qin Yao still has a headache when thinking about the current situation of the Liu family.

Yao Niang's original body was a woman who escaped from a disaster. Her family members died and she fled to Kaiyang County alone.

Unexpectedly, I fell on the kang and never woke up again.

Saburo glared at his sister, "That's not my aunt, my second brother said not to call her aunt!"

 Just talking about winter clothes for her and her four children, just buying raw materials would cost a lot of money.

Sanlang glanced at Qin Yao before handing the jug to her.

Si Niang was led away by her brother. As she walked, she looked back at Qin Yao. When she saw Qin Yao looking at her, she smiled at her. The smile was so sweet that Qin Yao's heart turned to water.

It's just that land, every acre is further away, and it's all in the ravines, and you have to walk five miles to get to the nearest one!

The family is extremely poor, and the four children are hungry and well-fed. It is a miracle that they can grow up.

 Her biological mother died after giving birth to her and her brother. They had not had a mother since they were young, so they were particularly envious of other children who had mothers.

But he was born into a commoner family. With such a temperament, he himself is cool and unrestrained, but it hurts the people around him.

 “Okay, let's go.”

Si Niang nodded obediently. Due to long-term malnutrition, Qin Yao was frightened to see a big head on her thin neck.

 “Aniang, can't you run away?” The little girl looked up at her, her innocent eyes full of longing for maternal love.

Three days ago, the government acted as a matchmaker. Liu Ji brought the original owner home, threw the four skinny children in front of her, threw her hands away and went out to have a good time!

Si Niang replied obediently: "My third brother and I are here to bring water to A Niang."

It snows heavily in winter here, and thatched houses must be reinforced, otherwise they will collapse when the snow becomes heavy.

Sanlang took his sister's hand and was about to leave. Siniang broke away from her brother and ran to Qin Yao.

 Can it be worse than the despairing end of the world?

As soon as the memory belonging to the original owner emerged in his mind, Qin Yao's eyes instantly became sharp when he thought of his **** husband.

 In Siniang's heart, if her father brings back a new mother-in-law, then she will have a mother-in-law!

She will listen to her mother-in-law and help her with her work. As long as her mother-in-law is willing to be her mother-in-law, Si Niang will be very good.

Qin Yao was a little helpless. Is it really okay for you two little ones to say this in front of me?

The rolling green mountains are shrouded in mist, and the air is filled with the scent of wet green grass. This is something you cannot feel in a world where natural disasters and zombies are rampant. Qin Yao greedily took a few deep breaths of such pure and fresh air, cherishing this hard-won new life.

"Uh-huh!"

“Alas~” Qin Yao sighed and said in her heart, Madam Yao, let's live a good life together!

She placed the **** across her shoulders and used her body to control the balance to prevent the **** from falling. She reached out and asked the two of them to give the pot to her. "Give me the water. You two go home. It's a long way to go."

But since Mrs. Mo died of hemorrhage after giving birth to twins, Liu Ji, a prodigal son, had no one to control him. He disliked the hard work of farming and refused to work. He sold the land when he was short of food and drink, and soon sold all the good land in his hands. Got it!

 Fortunately, his three brothers found out and were forced by their family members to keep only two acres.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that she is hungry now.

It was like fire was burning in her stomach, as if it was going to burn a big hole in her heart. It was so uncomfortable that Qin Yao wanted to kill Liu Ji and eat the meat!

 She has finally managed to live again, but if she starves to death again, she will die with her eyes open!
