Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 23 The New Life
"Why, the shopkeeper has nothing to say." Qiao wiped away tears again and again, and said word by word, "Our mothers were saved by someone today, and next time something happens, it will be you Yun Xi Lou's murder."

"Yes, if something happens to us again, I hope that the folks in the village will help our mothers to report the crime, so that we can die well." Gu Que also reacted at this moment, and then said, "We have no father, mothers will live It’s not easy, death is death, but this bad guy can’t go unpunished.”

"Yes, there is no impunity."

Some people couldn't see it and responded, and then more people followed.

Sentence, sentence, and sentence.

The shopkeeper of Yunxilou's complexion turned completely blue.

He knew that not only would he lose Fang Zi, but he would never be able to touch this woman again.

Because as long as something happened to her, all the witnesses present would be witnesses, and he couldn't escape being involved.

This woman actually plotted against him like this, and even slandered Yunxilou's reputation.

It's really hateful and hateful!

The shopkeeper shook his hand and left seemingly angrily.

Only he himself knew that deep down in his heart he was actually a little relieved.

"It's too pitiful to be bullied like this."

"Hey, it's not easy for a woman to bring a few such young children."

"too bitter……"

People around discussed and dispersed.

Qiao Lianlian and the others also packed up their appearances and left slowly.

After walking a little further, Gu Que couldn't help asking, "Mother, we can sue them, why should we let them go like this? Are we just letting them bully us for nothing?"

"Stupid girl." Qiao Lian repeatedly patted her head, "It's easy to report to the government, but what happens next? As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. Yunxi Building has been entrenched in Xieyang County for a long time, and we can't be sure whether the government is covering it up."

"Take a step back, so what if you become an official, you really offended Yun Xilou, what did he do by jumping over the wall in such a hurry, what can we mothers do to resist." Qiao sighed again and again.

She is not afraid, but she has five children.

The oldest is nine years old, and the youngest is only two years old. If something happens, she can't afford to be hurt.

So after much deliberation, Qiao Lianlian decided to teach Yunxilou a lesson, and at the same time hold them firmly in the public opinion, but in the end, he did not cause too much damage to Yunxilou, and would not attract more crazy revenge.

Just like how Gu Cheng beat Gu Zhuang back then.

"With such a move, the people in Yunxi Building will not dare to touch us anymore." Gu Cheng also understood, and exhaled softly, his eyes deepened, and his hands clenched into fists.

Still too weak, he thought.

If he was powerful enough, powerful enough, and sharp enough, my mother would definitely not think of such a way to solve the matter, and they would not have to silently swallow their grievances.

He has to work harder, harder, harder.

Only then can I return to that place and protect my mother and younger siblings.

It never occurred to Qiao Lianlian that she had been taking good care of her eldest son, for fear that he would turn black and become the villain that everyone feared, but in the end, the eldest son still changed after one incident after another.

It's just that this change seems to be slightly different from the blackening in the original book.

"Mother." Gu Cheng let go of his fist and looked at Qiao Lianlian, "You said earlier that you can sell more than braised pork, what do you mean?"

Qiao repeatedly stopped in front of a stall selling dry goods.

The supplies in Xiyang Town are limited, and there are no fresh fish and shrimps if you want to buy them. Fortunately, there are dry goods that are easy to store and can be purchased.

Qiao Lian picked up a handful of shrimp skins and gently twisted them between his fingertips.

Yes, it tastes like sea prawns.

"Boss, bring me two catties of shrimp skins, and two catties of dried shiitake mushrooms." She took out the copper coins she earned from selling braised pork.

After getting everything in hand, she smiled slightly at her eldest son, "Make spices."

"Spice, what spice, can I eat it?" Gu Lou raised his head suddenly, his small mouth was slightly opened, and the transparent saliva slowly gathered, as if it was about to fall down at any moment.

Gu Cheng closed his eyes, turned his head forcibly, and suppressed the urge to beat his brother up.

"This spice is not eaten directly." Qiao repeatedly pursed his lips and smiled, "But it can be used to make food. If Xiaolou wants to eat at night, mother will make it for you."

"Want to eat...want to eat..." Gu Lou tilted his head, his eyes suddenly swept across the wonton seller on the street, and his eyes lit up, "I want to eat wonton."

"Then make wontons tonight."

Qiao Lian took a few children to buy some shallots, pork thigh, two pork leg bones, and finally picked two plump purple onions before returning to Gujiacun.

Today, there are no whole sheep or live chickens, and my mother and I are not used to it for a while.

Uncle Niu was even more unaccustomed to them.

"Little Qiao, why don't you sell braised pork?" Uncle Niu frowned slightly, "Is it not a good business? No, your braised pork is so delicious, even my picky grandson ate a lot of it." , how could it not be sold."

"It's not that it can't be sold, it's that I don't plan to sell it." Qiao smiled again and again, "After all, it's too troublesome to deal with whole chickens and sheep, and we don't have a man to help in our family, so it's too tiring."

"That's true." Uncle Niu was thoughtful and didn't say anything.

A group of people were sitting in a donkey cart, and when they passed the village entrance, Qiao Lianlian seemed to see the young man rushing over to buy her stewed meat, but the figure passed by, so she didn't see it clearly.

Forget it, Zuo Zuo is just a stranger.

Qiao Lian didn't take this matter to heart, and tossed the spice powder when he got home.

There is no monosodium glutamate and chicken essence in this era, and many people don't even like to use chili and pepper, but only like to season with salt.

It's no wonder that the things made in this way are delicious.

Qiao Lianlian can't purify chicken essence and monosodium glutamate by herself, but she can make a substitute—that is spice powder.

Steam and dry shrimp skins, pork bones, shiitake mushrooms, etc., and finally grind them into powder, and mix them together according to the proportion, which will have a special fresh fragrance.

It's a pity that this town is too small, and there are no items such as scallops and abalones, otherwise it should be able to freshen people's eyebrows.

Before dark, Qiao Lianlian wrapped the last wonton, put it in a bamboo dustpan, and went to the kitchen.

Gu Que had already boiled the hot water, and Qiao lifted the lid of the pot again and again, and put down the delicate wontons one by one.

Wontons are different from dumplings.

Dumplings have thick skin, more meat and take longer to cook.

Wontons have thin skins and small fillings, so they have to be taken out after a short simmer.

Qiao Lianlian took advantage of this time to arrange a few porcelain bowls, and put chopped shallots, coriander, dried seaweed, broken egg skins, and a pinch of spice powder inside.

When the chaos floats up, scoop up a spoonful of boiling water, pour it into a bowl, and flush out the soup.

Then, pick up the translucent little chaos and put it in a bowl, and finally add two drops of sesame oil, and the work is done!

As soon as Qiao Lianlian scooped up the rice, a few greedy cats were already squatting at the door of the kitchen eagerly.

"Mother, it smells so good." Even the most taciturn Gu Zhong couldn't help but suck.

Qiao Lianlian couldn't help laughing, and asked Gu Cheng to bring the bowls to the wooden table in the yard one by one.

Finally, each person shared a spoon, and several children cheered and rushed to their own bowls.

"Wow, it's delicious." Gu Lou couldn't help admiring after taking a bite.

"Mother's cooking is delicious." Gu Ge is still a good flatterer.

"This taste is indeed much better than the one on the roadside." Gu Que finally gave some constructive advice.

After all, the children didn't care about anything else, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

The fresh scent mixed with sesame oil and spices stirred in the old house for a while, and finally drifted out of the fence.

"Wow, what makes it so fragrant." Bi Song smelled it suddenly, stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and his face was full of intoxication.

"Don't smell it, the master asked us to inquire about the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family. We haven't found out yet. Hurry up, it's almost dark."
