After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

The sky is bright.

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

Aniang.

A timid cry from a girl 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, with sparse warp and weft. When they poked holes with their fingers, a gust of wind blew, and their thin bodies trembled hard.

Why are you two following me? Qin Yao asked.

Si Niang answered obediently: My third brother and I are here to deliver water to A Niang.

People who don't drink water can't do any work and their stomachs feel uncomfortable.

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

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

Qin Yao was a little helpless, is it really okay for you two little ones to say that in front of me?

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

She placed the hoe across her shoulders and used her body to control her balance to prevent the hoe 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.

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

Sanlang glanced at Qin Yao before handing her the jug.

Go back quickly. Qin Yao urged.

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

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

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

But she didn't want A Niang to leave.

Her biological mother died giving birth to her and her brother. They had never had a mother since they were young, so they were particularly envious of other children who had mothers.

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

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

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.

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.

Okay, go ahead.

Uh-huh!

Siniang 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.

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

The rolling green mountains are shrouded in mist, and the scent of wet grass floats in the air. This is something you can't 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.

Even if she becomes the stepmother of four children, even if the family is now destitute.

But could it be worse than that despairing apocalypse?

But as soon as the memory belonging to the original owner emerged in his mind, Qin Yao's eyes suddenly became sharp when thinking of the original bastard husband.

The original Yao Niang came here after escaping from a tragedy. Her family died and she fled to Kaiyang County alone.

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

I thought I could settle down here, but I didn't expect that Liu Ji was useless except for his good looks!

He didn't cultivate the land, didn't work, and was the first to join in the excitement of any house. He idled around all day, stealing and stealing, but he couldn't do anything right.

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

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

When the biological mother of the stepsons, Mo Shi, was still alive, she could still control his 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.

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.

It's just that the land is farther away from one acre to the next. It's all in the ravines, and you have to walk five miles to get to the nearest one!

The family was extremely poor, and the four children were hungry and well-fed. It was a miracle that they could grow up.

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, walked out and went out to have a good time!

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.

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

Her body was already at its limit after escaping the disaster, 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 hoe and went to the fields to plant winter wheat in preparation for the coming year.

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

As for that bastard Liu Ji, he hasn't 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.

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

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

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

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

It doesn't matter if the house collapses, but it would be a tragedy if people were crushed to death.

There are also clothes. She and the four Liu children 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, for fear that they will become rotten if they are rubbed with their hands!

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

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

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

This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that she is hungry now.

Her stomach felt like fire was burning, 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!

After finally surviving again, she would starve to death again, she would die with her eyes open!
