Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 9 The Villain's Secret
Qiao Lian ran all the way to the market in Xiyang Town before he was completely relieved.

After all this tossing, it was almost the time of You, and Qiao Lianlian found another bullock cart and returned to Gu's Village.

The gate of the old house.

When the stepmother had just left, the children felt relieved.

A few hours passed, and the stepmother hadn't come back yet, the two elder children were a little worried.

Another hour passed, and it was almost dark, but there was still no sign of the stepmother at the entrance of the village.

Now, all four children panicked.

"She won't sell Xiao Wu." Gu Que had tears in her eyes, she knew that her stepmother had always wanted to sell them.

"If she sells Xiao Wu, I will kill her." Gu Cheng clenched his fists, his face full of hatred.

There have been many times when he could have killed his stepmother, but he was too young to protect his younger siblings.

Without a father, the greatest protection has been lost, and without a mother, wouldn't the children be abused by others.

Although the stepmother is bad, she is also the last layer of protection, but if she sells Xiao Wu, he will definitely fight her to the death.

Gu Cheng lowered his head, and the violent aura surged all over his body, as if it was about to solidify into substance.

At this moment, the youngest Gu Lou suddenly pointed at the entrance of the village and shouted, "Hey, is that mother?"

Several children raised their heads in unison. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, their stepmother was holding Gu Ge and carrying a bamboo basket, carrying an overwhelming orange-red color, like a fairy descending into the mortal world.

"What's the matter, are you hungry?"

Qiao Lian walked to the door and saw the weird expressions on the children's faces. He knew what they were worried about, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he directly stuffed Gu Ge into Gu Cheng's arms, "I'm exhausted after hugging me all the way. Que'er came to help with the things, and it killed me."

It was quite a big bamboo basket, which contained a lot of utensils and two big bags of pastries.

When the things were taken out one by one, the eyeballs of the other children almost fell out.

Cakes, they haven't eaten pastries for a long, long time. When they were in Gu's house, there were too many people to line up with them, and after being kicked out of Gu's house, they didn't even have enough food.

Osmanthus cake, I really dare not even think about it.

The night was dark.

Qiao repeatedly heated up the mutton at noon, added some vermicelli and cabbage that he bought, and stewed it thoroughly with a little salt, filling a large bowl.

When she carried them back to the house, she saw five children sitting in rows around the dilapidated small wooden table, all eagerly looking at the pastry in the middle, but none of them dared to move.

"Why don't you eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Don't you like it?" Qiao put down the bowl and chopsticks with a smile, "If you don't eat it, I can eat it."

She gestured to put the pastry into her mouth, and all the children slobbered, but still no one dared to speak.

They had been scared of being beaten for a long time. Even though the stepmother was smiling, even if the stepmother was willing to give them meat recently, the memory of the beating was so deep that no one dared to take the initiative to ask for food.

This will not work.

Qiao repeatedly sighed, and set his eyes on little Gu Ge.

After a whole day of getting along, Gu Ge was actually not so afraid of this stepmother anymore, she even wanted to reach for the pastry, but was slapped by the third brother to be honest.

"Xiao Wu, is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you ate in the afternoon delicious?" Qiao repeatedly smiled and tempted.

Gu Ge swallowed, "Sweet."

"Do you still want to eat it?" Qiao Lian picked up a piece of soft and glutinous osmanthus cake and shook it gently.

"Think." Gu Ge's eyeballs were glued to the pastry.

"Come and get it if you want to eat." Qiao repeatedly showed what he thought was the kindest smile.

Gu Ge looked at her with big clear eyes, as if confirming something with her. When she saw her stepmother nodded slightly, the little girl finally bravely stretched out her hand.

She grabbed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth, her mouth full of sweetness.

The four children on the side were stunned.

Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu actually ate her stepmother's food, she was going to be beaten, she was miserable!

However, after a long time, when Gu Ge almost finished half of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the stepmother still didn't hit anyone.

"Gudong".

Someone can't take it anymore.

A pitch-black little hand reached out silently, grabbed the snow-white and soft sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then retracted it with lightning speed.

Qiao Lianlian's smile remained unchanged.

The owner of that little hand instantly became courageous, and swallowed a whole piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in one gulp.

With two children at the beginning, the remaining few people were fat and timid, and each of them grabbed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it happily.

Even Gu Cheng shyly took one piece, but only one piece.

this kid...

Qiao sighed again and again, and put the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Gu Cheng.

The nine-year-old boy lowered his head, sipping the long-lost sweet taste, his eyes were a little red.

After dinner, it was already dark.

Gu Que consciously went to wash the dishes, and Qiao Lian remade the mattress.

The Gu family was so cruel that they only gave them one set of bedding. The ones that hadn't been washed or dried in the past six months were already filthy.

During the day, Qiao repeatedly wanted to buy two quilts to take back home, but he went to the town to inquire and found out that Xiyang Town was poor, and there was only one clothing store, and no bedding was sold at all.

Most people buy cotton and cotton cloth and go back to make quilts by themselves, but the problem is that Qiao Lianlian can't make quilts.

She had no choice but to come back first, and look for a shop that sold bedding tomorrow.

A family of six, squeezed into a dilapidated big bed, slowly fell asleep.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Qiao Lianlian got up.

She thought she was the first, but when she nodded at the heads on the bed, she realized that someone was earlier.

It's Gu Cheng, the most black-bellied villain in the future, what is he doing up so early.

Qiao Lianlian's heart was full of curiosity, subconsciously put on his shoes lightly, walked cautiously into the yard, and saw in a very hidden corner, the little boy Gu Cheng striding forward, swinging his fists in a rigid manner, although Not fierce or swift, but steady and steady, which is pretty good at this age.

Would a child from an ordinary family learn boxing at this age?

Qiao Lianlian's heart sank.

At this time, Gu Cheng seemed to have discovered something, and turned his head suddenly.

Qiao repeatedly put away the speculation in his heart, and smiled at him, "What are you doing in Chenger so early? Could it be that you're hungry?"

Gu Cheng put his horse back, stared at her urgently, but said in his mouth, "I can't sleep, so I wake up."

The hut is on the opposite side, whoever wants to go there.

Qiao Lianlian slandered from the bottom of his heart, but said on the face, "It's cold, go back to sleep as soon as you're done, I'll go and prepare meals for you."

Neither of the two mothers could read the other's mind, so they could only nod to each other, one went back to the house, and the other went out with a bucket.

When the figure of the other party disappeared, they quickly changed their faces back to solemn, or punched in a stride, or put on a running posture.

Yes, Qiao Lian didn't wake up so early just to cook, she just wanted to exercise her body.

Anyway, she is also the patriarch of the dignified Qiao family. Although she has only been in office for three days, she is still a person of one side.

Who knows which will come first, tomorrow or danger.
