After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Xiao Miaomiao told her the drunken words Jiang Xiaohua said last night.

The little girl held her hands behind her back, and every move she made was both physical and spiritual, and she even imitated her tone perfectly.

Jiang Xiaohua has gone from ashamed, shocked, unable to face it, to numb...

Wait until Xiao Miaomiao finished speaking and stop.

Jiang Xiaohua murmured feebly, "I actually said such things to him."

"No!" She stood up suddenly as if waking up from a big dream.

Xiao Miaomiao followed Jiang Xiaohua into the inner room and watched her rummaging through the boxes and packing her things.

"Mother, why are you packing your bags?"

Jiang Xiaohua tried her best to pack her things like she was possessed, while saying, "I want to leave the capital and hide out for a while!"

Let alone leaving home and the capital, she even wants to leave the earth now!

Xiao Miaomiao was shocked, "Mom, are you going to run away from home?"

"Yes, I ran away from home." Jiang Xiaohua randomly packed a baggage, put it on her shoulders and walked out.

Xiao Miaomiao grabbed Jiang Xiaohua's clothes, her eyes turned red, and she choked, "Mother..."

"Don't you want me anymore?"

Jiang Xiaohua's steps suddenly stopped, and she lowered her head to look at her little girl.

There were two bags of tears in the little girl's eyes, but she bit her mouth to hold back from crying.

This look made Jiang Xiaohua's heart feel as if it was pinched hard by a hand, making her feel sore and painful.

She threw down the baggage in a panic and knelt down to wipe her daughter's tears, "Oh, how could I leave my little cotton-padded jacket behind."

"I'm just... I'm just kidding."

When Jiang Xiaohua said the last sentence, she was already discouraged and could no longer bring up the urge to run away from home.

She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

If you do the wrong thing or say the wrong thing, then you have to face the consequences yourself. What's the point of running away!

Xiao Miaomiao sobbed twice, "Is mother really not leaving?"

Jiang Xiaohua showed a big smile, "Really, of course it is true."

"Look, let's go put things back now."

Soon, she restored the messed up cabinet to its original state.

Xiao Miaomiao was still not at ease. She looked at Jiang Xiaohua cautiously and followed Jiang Xiaohua step by step.

Jiang Xiaohua sat down outside, turned around and waved with a smile, "Miao Miao, come here."

Xiao Miaomiao naturally approached Jiang Xiaohua and snuggled into her arms.

Not long after she was born, her biological mother died.

Therefore, her brothers occasionally talked about her mother. Although Xiao Miaomiao also imagined what kind of person her mother was, she did not have as many feelings as her brothers.

In Xiao Miaomiao's memory, Jiang Xiaohua was the first person to give her motherly love.

Although when she was in the village, Jiang Xiaohua was a very scary and bad stepmother.

Being beaten, scolded, forced to kneel, cold, hungry...

At first, Xiao Miaomiao was always afraid of her stepmother.

Until one day after setting out to escape, the stepmother seemed to be a different person.

Little Miaomiao gradually began to like and worship her stepmother, and now she trusts and relies on her wholeheartedly.

She has completely regarded her stepmother as her biological mother.

She was also really afraid of Jiang Xiaohua leaving.

In that case, she would be a motherless child again.

Jiang Xiaohua hugged Xiao Miaomiao and rubbed her cheek comfortingly.

"I was really joking just now."

"You forgot about our shop. I have worked hard to prepare it, and we are still waiting to open it after the new year."

Xiao Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes!"

Jiang Xiaohua continued, "Besides, we have guests at home today."

"Where do you think I can go?"

The worries in Xiao Miaomiao's heart suddenly disappeared and she became happy again.

"I almost forgot that Aunt Song is coming, how are we going to entertain her?"

Jiang Xiaohua said, "We will prepare a table of food and wine, and the staple food will be steamed buns and rice."

It was already light outside at this time.

While Jiang Xiaohua was boiling water, preparing to cook Fu Yuanzi, she asked Xiao Miaomiao to wake up the others.

Xiao Miaomiao ran to the door, stopped and asked, "Do you want to call me Mr. Li too?"

Jiang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just call."

The whole family’s breakfast is four-color futonzi.

Liu Yong and Liu Ming were going to pay New Year greetings to the old master, so they had to eat the first pot first.

Jiang Xiaohua put the second pot of Fuyuanzi into the rice can and handed it to Liu Yong to carry.

"Be careful not to burn yourself."

Then Liu Guang, Xiao Miaomiao and Li Yuanzhi ate together.

Li Yuanzhi was doing everything as usual, joking with the children while waiting for dinner.

All the rest of the Fu Yuanzi was eaten.

After the meal, Jiang Xiaohua cleaned up the casserole where Yuanzi was cooked.

Liu Guang said he was going to move the vegetables to the kitchen in advance, and Xiao Miaomiao followed him.

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi were the only ones left in the room.

Because it was so quiet, the sound of water gurgling in the pot was particularly clear.

Jiang Xiaohua felt Li Yuanzhi's eyes on her, like a thorn in her back.

Just when she finally couldn't help it and wanted to say something first.

Li Yuanzhi said calmly, "I am indeed hesitant."

"I'm thinking if something happens one day or you and the children encounter some crisis."

"Can I protect you now, and how much can I protect you?"

Jiang Xiaohua took a deep breath and turned to Li Yuanzhi, "I don't need anyone's protection."

Li Yuanzhi said calmly, "Maybe, Mrs. Jiang is a very strong woman."

"But I can't do nothing."

"This is the capital. Once you officially open a store, take this step."

"There are certain ways of life that must be maintained."

He raised his eyes and looked at her, "I believe Lady Jiang also knows this."

"That's why I went out of my way to maintain the friendship with Jiang Yuanheng."

Jiang Xiaohua was silent.

Because what Li Yuanzhi said is true.

On the one hand, she sincerely regarded Jiang Yuanheng as a friend.

But on the other hand, it is undeniable that she does value the Jiang family's background and connections in the capital.

Li Yuanzhi said, "So I decided."

"I will embark on the road of becoming an official through the spring of next year."

Instead of facing a powerless situation in the future, it is better to take power into your own hands early.

This was Li Yuanzhi's final decision after hesitating for more than a month.

Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi sat in silence for a long time before she sighed softly.

"I respect your choice."

Originally, she knew that Li Yuanzhi would leave sooner or later, so she chose to train Song E to be the boss.

Now that I know the result, I feel relieved.

Li Yuanzhi looked at Jiang Xiaohua and smiled, "However, I will not leave this home."

Jiang Xiaohua was stunned, slapped the table, and said seriously, "No, no, no, how is this possible!"

"If you want to become an official, you must change your real name and identity."

"When the time comes, how can you, a member of the Bolingcui clan, be forced to live in a small courtyard like mine!"

Li Yuanzhi leaned back in his chair comfortably.

"If I think it's okay, then that's okay."

Jiang Xiaohua was unhappy, "Hey, Li Yuanzhi, you are relying on me, right?"

Having said that, she felt a little faintly happy in her heart.
