Chapter 29 She doesn't want to call her stepmother anymore
"Hey, Lu Zhi's wife is in a terrible situation now. Didn't you see how Mother Yang was beaten? Although Mother Yang went too far, she is still her mother-in-law!"
"What's this? That day, she even tricked the scholar!"
"Have you seen it clearly? Did you really fall into the water? Xiu Cai Lang's body is not strong, and I don't know if it is serious."
"Isn't that true? I saw it with my own eyes. The scholar fell from the bridge and couldn't get up for a long time. There is only one scholar in our village, so don't let him die because of Li Tannian."
The sound fell, and a burst of laughter came.
Li Tannian walked towards the courtyard with a stupefied face. When the women who were waiting to receive sickles saw her, their expressions froze.
After a long time, one of them laughed dryly: "This, isn't this Lu Zhi's wife? Lu Zhi's wife, how long have you been here?"
Li Tannian didn't answer, and went straight to the woman who just said that she had harmed Lin Ziyan, and asked her quietly: "Did you see me push someone into the water?"
The woman was stunned by the question.
"Since there isn't one, don't talk nonsense!" After saying that, she went straight to a room full of ironware.
"You!" The woman reacted belatedly, and was about to come to argue with Li Tannian, but was held back by her companion.
"Don't go. She is so powerful now that she even dares to fight a wolf. She is very evil. One more thing is worse than one less thing."
The woman felt that her face was dull and she couldn't help but curl her lips and said: "You really think I'm afraid of her? What's the big deal about hunting a wolf? I just see her four children as pitiful and don't want to be like her."
It’s just a matter of calculation.”
The companions around her looked at each other in shock. At this moment, Li Tannian looked towards them.
Her eyes were cold, and the woman couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as she stared at her, and hurriedly fell silent.
Lu Liushun took the sickle from the house and saw this scene when he came out. What surprised him even more was that Li Tannian, who had never worked, actually came to choose iron tools.
Surprised, he gave the sickle to the man and went up to him.
"Wife-in-law Lu Zhi, what do you want to buy?"
Lu Liushun is an honest man. If Li Tannian gets the same thing, he will quote the same price, and the prices are not high.
Li Tannian bought a lot of hunting snares, and thinking that the hoes at home were already rusty, he simply bought some more hoes.
She bought a lot, but it only cost thirty or forty pennies.
When Lu Liushun took the money, he was still a little in disbelief.
Li Tannian actually bought a hoe!
He was a little stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Daughter-in-law Lu Zhi, why did you buy a hoe?"
Li Tannian glanced at him and said succinctly: "Turn over the ground." Then he left the blacksmith shop.
Gu Liushun recalled Li Tannian's look just now. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that her look was like looking at a fool.
He couldn't help but spit, couldn't he? What else can people do with a hoe besides digging in the ground?
He is really rubbish.
After returning to the house, the four little ones had come back. In addition, there was a little guest in the yard. Who else could it be if it wasn't Iron Ball?
As soon as Tie Qiu saw Li Tannian, he smiled and said, "Aunt Nian, the clothes you bought for Dabao and the others are so nice."
When the four little ones heard what he said, they all had blushes on their faces. Yes, the clothes the stepmother bought for them are so beautiful!
From now on, they are no longer wild children. They also have mothers who care about them and buy new clothes!
"Stepmother, do you want to play in the mud with us?" Erbao suddenly spoke, and his invitation was particularly sincere.
Little Sibao clapped his hands repeatedly, Tieqiu and Sanya also looked at Li Tannian expectantly, only Lu Dabao twitched the corner of his mouth and was speechless.
Even playing in the mud!
He himself was so entangled by the little four treasures that he only played with them in the mud. How could his stepmother accompany them when she was such a grown-up person?
Thinking in his mind, Lu Dabao scolded the second treasure: "Stepmother is so busy, how can she have time to accompany you, you..."
"Okay." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard Li Tannian respond.
Erbao and the others were so unhappy. Lu Dabao looked at Li Tannian in surprise, and even Li Tannian himself was a little surprised.
She didn't even think about how she agreed.
Perhaps it was because the eyes of Erbao and the others were so bright that it was hard for her to refuse.
"Sanya, Sanya, your mother is so amazing. She actually plays with you in the mud. My mother never plays with me in the mud." Tie Qiu said hopefully.
Sanya raised her chin proudly: "That's natural, my mother is so good." After showing off, she realized that she actually called her mother, not stepmother.
But she doesn’t want to call her stepmother anymore, not even in the future...
Sanya glanced at Li Tannian guiltily, fearing that Li Tannian would be very angry when he found out. Who would have thought that Li Tannian's eyes passed over them, but he did not pay attention to her motherly voice just now.
Sanya breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little unspeakably disappointed.
"I'll teach you a novel game." Li Tannian finally looked at everyone's mud-stained faces, picked up the stones, and drew a few grids on the ground.
"This game is called lattice jumping. No matter how many people there are, you can play it." After Li Tannian finished speaking, he explained the rules to them in detail, then picked up the stones and started to demonstrate.
The five children are very smart, and they only need to read it once or twice to learn it.
This lattice dance has a somewhat competitive feel. Lu Dabao, who is much more mature than his peers, is also interested. However, he has an injury on his foot and Li Tannian does not allow him to play.
He felt itchy and didn't want to watch, so he simply became the referee.
After a while, the children's laughter and laughter could be heard in the small courtyard.
The tiger boy next door poked his little head and looked into the Zhao family's eyes. Seeing how happy they were playing, he also wanted to go in and play.
He was used to being domineering. If it had been in the past, he would have come in long ago and forced Lu Dabao and the others to teach him how to play with an angry look.
But the situation is different now. Li Tannian's stepmother is really too fierce, and he is still a little scared.
Just when he was debating whether to wait for Li Tannian to leave before going in, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ears, and his mother twisted his ears and dragged him back to his courtyard.
"It hurts, mother, it hurts, please relax." Huwa covered her ears and screamed. Liu Jinhua curled her lips and scolded, "Look at it, there is nothing good to see!" She loosened her grip on her hand.
Huwa licked his lips and listened to the cheers coming from next door. He couldn't help but said: "Mom, I want to play that game too. I haven't seen anyone play it. It feels very fun."
"Play, play, play! You know how to play, don't play with them!" Liu Jinhua finished speaking angrily, and locked the door with a bang.
In the courtyard next door, Tie Qiu heard the noise and couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Did you hear anything?"
The four little ones are all immersed in this novel and fun game, so where do they have the energy to care about anything else?
"I didn't hear you, I didn't hear you, brother Tieqiu, hurry up, it's your turn!" Sanya urged, and Tieqiu didn't think any more and started to jump two squares.
At this time, Li Tannian had already returned to the stove to braise pork heads and screws. The children were having so much fun that it wasn't until it was getting dark that Iron Ball reluctantly went back.
Li Tannian soaked the braised pork head meat and snails in a clay pot, and the little four came over.
"Stepmother, Brother Tieqiu praised you a lot just now. He said that even Aunt Susu doesn't know how to play this game, and he also said that he envied us." After Sanya said happily, she found the screw in her spatula.
Li Tannian met the surprised looks of the four little beans, and without hesitation, handed the spatula directly to them: "Try it?"
