Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

Ever since Ji Xiuyun was not at home, Ji Xiukai, who used to be the most troublesome, had an awkward fight with Mu Daiyao for some reason.

It's just that he was much more obedient than in his previous life, and he didn't cause trouble for Mu Daiyao. Even when Mu Daiyao asked him to do some work, he did it honestly.

So Mu Daiyao is also happy to keep it like this, instead of breaking this superficial peace.

There were quite a few times when Ji Xiukai wandered around where Mu Daiyao was looking, looking hesitant to speak, but Mu Daiyao turned around every time, as if he didn't see anything.

Ji Xiukai was so angry that his teeth itched, even if he ground all his back molars, it would not help.

Here, the business of Mu Daiyao's multigrain pancakes outside the school is also getting better and better. If she doesn't go there for a day off, someone from the village will come directly to ask her why she doesn't leave the stall.

As a result, Mu Daiyao could only hang a wooden sign on her small cart, stating that she had one day off a week, otherwise, even if she wanted to earn enough money, she couldn't keep doing this.

The little bastards of the Ji family don't know whether they were frightened by Ji Xiuyun's end, or their conscience discovered that sometimes they would come to the little cart after school to help Mu Daiyao a little, to help, count the copper coins, and say hello About the guests or something.

Of course, Mu Daiyao would not let them do their work for nothing, and gave them the pocket money they should have given.

As a result, Ji Xiukai was stunned when he got the pocket money from her for the first time, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't believe it was for himself.

"I didn't give you less pocket money before, did I? Why did I seem to be harsh on you before?"

Seeing his appearance, Mu Daiyao said something to him angrily while closing the stall.

"You did, but..."

But he and the third sister begged for it unceremoniously, or they secretly went to her cabinet to get it. Thinking of this, Ji Xiukai cleared his throat in embarrassment, put the copper coins away, and quickly ended the topic .

"By the way, didn't you say that someone would buy those horses soon? It's been almost half a month, why is there no news yet?"

Ji Xiuping, who was walking aside, had put the copper plate into his arms long ago, and after seeing his second brother finally finished that stupid topic, he opened his mouth slowly and asked a question.

Mu Daiyao couldn't help but feel pain when asked this question.

She clearly remembered that during this period of time, the left and right would be before the first snow, so why did this life drag on for so long.

Maybe it was also to save herself a way out, so Mu Daiyao had been working hard to prepare a lot of pancake ingredients from dawn to dusk in the past few days, but luckily she sold all of them.

Anyway, I still have some silver taels on hand, but it is far from enough to fill the holes in these horses.

"Could it be that they can't be sold, and it's all in your hands in the end."

As if sensing Mu Daiyao's predicament, Ji Xiuping's soft voice still carried the immature air of a teenager, but his tone clearly sounded gloating.

At this time, Mu Daiyao had already pushed the cart back to the yard, and was about to open the door, when she heard this, she subconsciously turned her face to look at Ji Xiuping.

And Ji Xiuping raised his eyes slightly, meeting her gaze.

Looking at her standing there sideways, the afterglow of the setting sun just shone on her body at this time, and the dim halo made her face more beautiful than before.

It happened that half of her body fell in the sun, and the other half hid in the shadow of the courtyard wall.

Ji Xiuping squinted his eyes, and found for the first time that their stepmother's standing posture was different from the country girls' habit of holding their chests and shrinking their backs. I don't know when it started, her back was straight, like a green pine, and her face was stretched and relaxed. Seeing the generous demeanor, Ji Xiuping couldn't help being taken aback.

"Of course not."

Although Mu Daiyao's voice was very soft, she sounded firm. She turned her head, opened the courtyard door, and pushed the cart in calmly.

When her back was turned to the little bastards of the Ji family, the calmness on her face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and turned into a sad face.

"System, if these horses cannot be sold, what will happen?"

"Host, please mourn. If you can't sell it, you won't be able to return the money to Lin Sancheng. According to the contract you signed, he has the right to sue the government."

"So I'm going to go to jail again in this life?"

After hearing the system's answer, Mu Daiyao's entire face turned blue, and she was in a really happy mood.

"Host, don't be so pessimistic, maybe things are not so bad?"

The system's comfort seemed so weak, Mu Daiyao chose to ignore it.

In the evening, it began to rain outside.

Standing under the eaves outside the kitchen, Mu Daiyao looked up at the sky, and saw thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the light rain was thick and dense like silver needles, hitting the eaves straight, sending out Crisp percussion.

She watched the ripples caused by the rainwater falling on the ground for a long time, and then shifted her eyes aimlessly to the dense bushes in the corner of the yard.

If the flowers bloom, it should be very beautiful, but it is not yet the flowering season, and no one at home has pruned their branches, so it looks very messy now.

The rain makes the air moist and cold, and sometimes a gust of autumn wind blows and hits the body with rain, and the chill of the night soaks through the clothes to the skin, making some goose bumps involuntarily appear.

"It's raining heavily, Yaoniang, you'll catch cold easily if you stand here in the wind."

Ji Zhixu didn't know when he came back, he held an outer garment in his hand and put it on Mu Daiyao's body, then raised his hand and gently pinned her wind-scrambled hair behind her ears, and said softly.

It immediately made Mu Daiyao's heart beat faster for a while, although she quickly suppressed it.

There was still a slight warmth from Ji Zhixu's fingers on her face, and now she was a little used to him getting close to her, doing small movements like stroking her hair.

Perhaps it was because of his quick and light movements that before Mu Daiyao had time to react, he withdrew his hand, as if nothing had happened.

"I'll go back to the house soon," Mu Daiyao thought for a while, but didn't specifically mention this, but responded lazily to his concern, saying: "After the rain, the weather It's probably going to be colder."

"It's snowing in the mountains, it shouldn't be long before the first snow is coming."

Ji Zhixu stood a little closer to Mu Daiyao, and the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance from his body seemed to hover around her side, accompanied by the unique watery smell of the rain.

His voice was so soft that it was almost covered by the sound of the rain. If you didn't listen carefully, you would miss it if you were not careful.
