The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 32 "A Carefully Selected Control Group"

What kind of weird method is this?

Those who are close to Lu Baozhen will suffer misfortune at best and death at worst.

What's even more creepy is that she seems to have an inexplicable attraction. People who see her will involuntarily develop a liking for her and want to do everything they can to be nice to her.

This kind of kindness has no purpose and does not seek results. Even if you are suffering, you still have to be good to her.

Died strangely.

Lin Zhao thought of some of the understated words in the book that determined a person's fate, and goose bumps broke out all over her body.

Very chilly.

Following the sweet and tender voice was Su Yuxian's voice.

"Lin Zhao." After she finished speaking, she gently pushed open the door.

Su Yuxian stepped inside and saw Lin Zhao in the courtyard. He said softly with a hint of complaint, "Why didn't you say anything when I called you?"

"Everyone inevitably has times when they don't want to talk." Lin Zhao was in a bad mood and didn't want to entertain anyone, nor did she want to flatter her.

Get lost.

Su Yuxian was startled, "What's wrong with you?"

Before Lin Zhao could answer, she saw Lu Baozhen walking towards the eldest and second sons.

She frowned slightly.

But didn't stop it.

Want to see the situation.

Lu Baozhen walked up to the twins and stopped. Her large, clear eyes, like grapes, stared at the bowls in their hands. She tilted her head and smiled, her two braids swaying. She asked softly, "Big brother, second brother, what are you drinking?"

Erzai said in a boastful tone, "Watermelon lemonade. My mother made it for us. She said it can help relieve the heat."

"Is it delicious?" Lu Baozhen asked eagerly.

"It tastes good because it has sugar in it!" Erzai said loudly.

"Brother Erzai, I haven't even drunk it." Lu Baozhen pursed her lips, looking aggrieved, and spoke in a sticky tone.

She was over four years old, with flat facial features, single eyelids, eyes that were neither big nor small, a low nose bridge and a big nose tip, and a dull look. Her face was whiter and tenderer than other girls of the same age in the village, and a little fleshy, making her look round and cute when she was young.

Speaking in a soft voice makes you more lovable.

Erzai didn't respond and said, "I didn't drink it when I was four, but you can drink it when you are five."

sound off.

Open your mouth wide and drink every last sip of juice.

Lin Zhao: ...Pfft.

Beautifully done.

Lin Zhao was really afraid that her eldest son and the others would be influenced and become idiots.

Now it seems that as long as she is not dead, the cubs will not be affected.

She tried hard to suppress her inner excitement, her eyes were bright and the corners of her mouth were raised high.

The eldest son saw the expression on his mother's face, blinked, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Lu Baozhen looked at him aggrievedly and shouted again: "Big brother, second brother, you are so stingy."

The eldest cub frowned and said, "The second cub is not stingy."

Erzai made a face at Lu Baozhen, muttered a few times, and said, "My brother won't listen to your provocation."

Lin Zhao raised her eyebrows.

Oh wow, he even said a word like "provoke".

Lu Baozhen was bewildered and stood there, unable to understand why things didn't go the way she expected.

That’s not right. The eldest and second oldest should give her the sweet water.

The little girl stared blankly at the eldest and second cubs, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Yuxian glanced at the two children of the Gu family unhappily. What's wrong with these two brats? If they don't obey her Baozhen, they might break their legs, she thought viciously.

"Lin Zhao, your two sons are so stingy and rude. I brought Baozhen here as a guest, and they didn't even bother to bring me stools or pour me water, and they couldn't even make their sister cry. You have to keep a close eye on them. They're not going to achieve anything if they keep going like this."

Su Yuxian said this with an expression and tone that said "it's for your own good."

Hearing this, Dazai's body stiffened and he looked at Lin Zhao nervously.

Erzai's face turned red with anger, and he was about to retort, but Lin Zhao sneered.

"Get out." She shouted directly to drive him away.

Su Yuxian didn't react.

After a while, he came back to his senses in a daze, "...You want me... to get out?" His tone was full of disbelief.

"Take your new daughter and leave my house," Lin Zhao repeated with a look of disgust.

She has always been willful and used to speaking and doing whatever she wants, and has never thought about such a complicated thing as saving face for others.

Su Yuxian's dull eyes regained focus, and anger appeared on his well-disguised face. His voice rose, becoming unusually sharp. "Lin Zhao, do you know what you are saying?"

"I'm the only person you can talk to in the Harvest Brigade. Are you sure you want me to leave?" She threatened with gritted teeth.

"You don't need to worry about my son. You are talking about my son's right and wrong in my own territory. You are too indifferent to yourself as an outsider. You and I are not friends and we don't have much in common. When we meet in the future, just pretend that we don't know each other." Lin Zhao said slowly.

Su Yuxian's chest heaved violently as he demanded, "What do you mean?"

"It just means I don't want to deal with you." Lin Zhao said bluntly.

Her whole family is cannon fodder, and she doesn't want to get too close to the heroine's family.

Especially since the Lu family has an evil-minded Lu Baozhen, we must be on guard against her.

Breaking off relations with Su Yuxian is a necessary step.

The two adults were arguing, and the children noticed something was wrong and kept silent. The eldest and second oldest stood behind Lin Zhao, while Lu Baozhen walked to her new mother, held her hand, and stared at Lin Zhao with her dark eyes.

The heat was so intense that even the cicadas had been roasted into silence. Lin Zhao felt a chill starting from the soles of her feet and spreading rapidly throughout her body.

She felt like she was being stared at by something scary.

The mother's first reaction was to stand in front of her two sons.

Lin Zhao looked down at Lu Baozhen and was about to say something when Da Huang came in with Amber. Behind the two children came Mother Gu and the twins.

"Woof woof--" Dahuang rushed in and let out a low growl at Lu Baozhen without any warning.

Its back was hunched, its skinny body was like a taut bowstring, and its sharp teeth gleamed coldly in the setting sun, as if it was about to pounce on its prey and bite off its neck in the next second.

Dahuang was barking in the front and Amber was barking in the back.

The yard was bustling with activity. Wang Chunhua's naughty kid climbed up the wooden ladder against the wall and stuck his head out to look.

After Dahuang appeared, the coldness on Lin Zhao's body disappeared instantly.

You're back just in time!!
She looked at Dahuang and her love for the big furry boy deepened a little.

Lu Baozhen was frightened by the dog and burst into tears, hiding behind Su Yuxian and trembling.

"Wow, wow, wow, I want to go home. I don't like dogs. They're so scary. Take me back quickly!!" She pulled Su Yuxian's clothes and shouted. Her eyes were red and pitiful. Her eyes regained the innocence and purity of a child.

Lin Zhao has always been tolerant of children. However, after her first encounter with the little koi in the original book, she did not feel any liking for the child at all. She just thought the child was very weird.

If Dahuang hadn't come back, she really didn't know what would happen next.

Mother Gu looked at Su Yuxian and Lu Baozhen in confusion, not understanding why these two were here.

"Baozhen is afraid of dogs. I didn't realize it before. Xiao Su, take her back quickly and comfort the child so that she won't cry so hard."

"Got it." Su Yuxian picked up his adopted daughter, walked a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, and looked back at Lin Zhao, "From now on, just pretend you don't know each other." "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You don't recognize your friends just because you have a job. I guess I misjudged you."

Then he walked away.

Lin Zhao's words reached her ears.

"You are wrong. You and I are not the same kind of people, let alone friends."

Su Yuxian's body stiffened, his face darkened, and he strode away.

"Why is she here?" Mother Gu frowned and gave Dahuang a pat of praise. It is useful to raise a dog. Look, it can solve big problems.

"I don't know. He didn't say anything when he came." Lin Zhao guessed that he came to ask her about her work.

At this time, the long-mouthed second cub complained to his grandmother.

"Grandma, that little Su scolded me and my brother!!"

what?
Mother Gu's thick black eyebrows twisted into an inverted eight shape. "What did she scold you for?"

Erzai hung his head, and kept grinding the pebbles on the ground with his toes, his cheeks puffed up. "She scolded my brother and me for being rude, and said that my brother and I would never amount to anything."

"What kind of person is this? Going to someone else's house and scolding their child? That's what Liao Hongjuan taught her!" Mother Gu was furious. "Don't listen to her nonsense! She's rude!"

"Your eldest and second cubs are both polite and will definitely have a bright future." The grandmother thought her grandson was the smartest and would not be a failure.

Erzai raised his head, there was no trace of loss on his face, he was smiling like a flower.

"Hehe, I think so too."

Lin Zhao held her forehead with her hand.

"Big boy, go get your grandma two pieces of watermelon."

"Hey!" The eldest son said in a clear voice, trotted into the kitchen and took out two pieces of cut watermelon.

There were many mosquitoes and flies in the countryside, so Lin Zhao was particular about it. She asked someone to make several bamboo rice covers and covered them with cut watermelons.

Mother Gu received the watermelon brought by her eldest son. It had a green skin and red flesh, and looked sweet and juicy.

"This is such a good watermelon. Have you eaten it?"

The eldest cub nodded and said, "We ate it. The second cub and I each had a piece. My mother also made us watermelon lemonade. It's sour and sweet, with the taste of watermelon and lemon. It's delicious."

After saying this, he lowered his head, his face filled with shame, and said, "I forgot to leave some for milk."

Mother Gu didn't drink the juice he mentioned, but her heart was filled with warmth.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you drink it, it's like drinking milk."

It’s different, the eldest cub thought, “If my mother makes it for us again, I’ll save it for grandma.”

"Okay, okay." Mother Gu responded with a smile.

"Grandma, eat watermelon, it's so sweet!!" the eldest cub urged.

Mother Gu lowered her head and took a bite. It was indeed juicy and sweet, and most of her fatigue from the whole day disappeared.

She had never eaten such a sweet watermelon.

The twins ate the watermelon with their few remaining teeth, grinding and sucking it. Their fair and tender faces were stained with watermelon juice. When they noticed Lin Zhao's gaze, they raised their faces as if smeared with rouge and revealed an innocent and clean smile.

Mother Gu ate a piece of watermelon, but she couldn't bear to eat the remaining piece, so she wanted to give it to the old man.

After saying goodbye to her grandchildren, she planned to go back. She wanted to go back quickly and give the watermelon to her grandchildren's grandfather to make the old man happy.

At this time, Lin Zhao walked out of the kitchen, called her, took a few steps forward, and stuffed half a watermelon into her hands.

"Mom, take this watermelon back home and eat it."

Mother Gu opened her mouth to refuse, but saw Lin Zhao turned and walked away, still with the same aloof look as before.

"..." Mother Gu was silent, "Then I'll accept it."

Lin Zhao then looked at her and said, "It was originally given to you."

Gu Chenghuai was not at home, and he gave all his allowances to her. As a daughter-in-law, she had the responsibility to take care of his parents. These things were nothing compared to what his father gave her.

Mother Gu carried the watermelon and left the third brother's house. Her back straightened unconsciously and her walking speed slowed down. The watermelon in her arms was particularly eye-catching.

"Mother Yuanshan, why are you holding a watermelon? Why is the watermelon so big? It's so red and looks sweet." A passerby said after seeing it.

To be honest, no one in the team has ever seen such a big watermelon.

Mother Gu straightened her back, looking refreshed. "Where else could it have come from? The third son's wife forced it on me and told me to take it back to quench my thirst. I had no choice but to accept it."

She sighed in feigned distress, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth. "Oh, I've already eaten it all at her place, and she insisted that I take half of it. Really, it would be great to leave it for the eldest cubs. Even after we've separated, she's still thinking about me and her father. I really don't know what to do..."

The people of the Harvest Brigade changed their views on Lin Zhao again.

"The eldest son's mother is so filial."

"Even after the family split up, he was still willing to give watermelon to his parents-in-law. He is really filial. Unlike the one in my family, he couldn't even bear to give them a roasted sweet potato."

"Ugh."

After showing off all the way, Mother Gu finally got home and heard a lot of envy. She had never felt so proud before.

"Granny, what are you holding?!"

"Grandma, is this from Third Aunt?!"

Hearing the noisy chatter in her ears, Mother Gu was about to explode. She hurried to the kitchen and cut a piece of watermelon for each of the children before sending them away.

The more children you have, the better. There will always be people to fight with, but it will be too noisy.

When Gu's mother walked around the village holding a watermelon, Lin Zhao's reputation was completely reversed.

In the past, when Cheng Huai's wife was mentioned, everyone shook their heads, as if they didn't want to talk about her anymore, and their impression of her was that she was lazy and greedy; now it's different, when people talk about Lin Zhao, they all give her a thumbs up, saying that she is filial, that she is cultured, and that they had seen that she would have a bright future.

Su Yuxian, who had just coaxed Lu Baozhen, heard the rumors in the village. His brows were furrowed and there was displeasure in his eyes.

She hoped that Lin Zhao would do it, but Lin Zhao didn't...how to highlight her own rarity.

Su Yuxian had a hard time finding a comparison group like Lin Zhao. She was clearly the biological mother, yet she treated her own child with indifference. Meanwhile, she was a stepmother, gossiped about, yet she treated her firstborn child as her own. What a perfect stepping stone.

Su Yuxian's face turned red with anger when he thought about all the things he had done in vain.

When Lu Baozhen saw her expression, she was frightened and pushed her face in panic.

"Go away, I don't want you to hug me."

Su Yuxian was scratched on the face, and a red mark immediately appeared on her face. She hissed, not daring to get angry, and coaxed gently: "Baozhen, don't move, be careful not to fall."

Lu Baozhen didn't hear clearly and thought her stepmother was going to throw her to the ground. She was stunned for a moment and then screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Help! The wicked stepmother is going to throw the child—!"

The sound is sharp.

This attracted the attention of the villagers.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Yuxian was as weird as it could be.

The gossipy aunts and aunts looked at each other, and saw a myriad of emotions in each other's eyes. Tsk tsk tsk, how can a stepmother be good? Especially one who is so eager to help!
Su Yuxian was very concerned about the gazes of the villagers. When he noticed the gazes from this side, he tightened his arms around Lu Baozhen and his face turned grim.

Lu Baozhen felt pain in her body and cried even harder.

"Wow, it hurts so much, grandma save me, daddy save me, stepmother wants to eat me!!"

Lu Yizhou heard his daughter's words from a distance and hurried over.

He was wearing a military uniform, his figure was as straight as a pine or cypress, he had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was upright, decent and reliable.

"Baozhen." Lu Yizhou walked towards Su Yuxian, took Lu Baozhen from her arms, raised his hand to wipe his daughter's tears, and coaxed her in a soft voice: "Why are you crying?"

I didn't look at Su Yuxian the whole time.
