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

I saw Li Yuanzhi holding up the wine glass and smiling, his eyes showing the freedom and ease of seeing through the world.

"To be honest with my brother and sister-in-law, our family's situation is actually quite special."

Outside the window, snowflakes were still falling.

In the room, everyone listened quietly to Li Yuanzhi's story.

Until Li Yuanzhi finished speaking, he took another sip of warm wine.

Only then did Hua Yonghe and his wife come back to their senses.

Hua Yonghe's expression was solemn and moved.

He put his arm around Li Yuanzhi's shoulders and patted him hard, "Brother, you are a real man!"

"I understand you, don't say anything anymore, it's all in this glass of wine!"

Mrs. Qin wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "It's so touching!"

"Ms. Jiang, it's not easy either."

"I became a widow just after getting married, and I had to raise four children who were not my biological children."

"When an ordinary woman encounters something like this, she would probably be unable to hold on any longer, but you treat your children as your own and never leave them."

She turned to Jiang Xiaohua, "But luckily God opened his eyes and allowed you to meet Mr. Li!"

Jiang Xiaohua suppressed the twitching of the corners of her mouth and forced out a smile, "Yes... yes."

She gritted her teeth in her heart.

This Li Yuanzhi! I asked you to perform on the spot, but I didn't ask you to perform beyond the standard!

What is the story of a miserable little widow with a baby, and how she meets a beautiful scholar on her way to escape?

The scholar-hero saved the beauty, and he fell in love with her at first sight despite the fact that the widow was carrying four oil bottles.

But the widow always disagreed with the scholar's pursuit because of her secular observance.

The two went through a series of hardships, and finally broke through the shackles of the world and got married.

It was as if the storyteller had finished telling a wonderful storybook.

Hua Yonghe and his wife were emotional and satisfied, and even his children were fascinated.

After drinking and eating, Mrs. Qin went to the cellar to bring two huge pumpkins and placed them on the ground.

"This old pumpkin is grown by us, girls, please don't dislike it."

"I'll load it into the car for you when we set off tomorrow morning, and you can eat on the way."

Jiang Xiaohua didn't have the nerve to accept it, so she refused and said, "I have already thanked my eldest brother and sister-in-law for giving me food and accommodation."

"I must never eat and take again."

Mrs. Qin insisted on giving Old Pumpkin to Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua refused again and again, so she had to accept it.

Jiang Xiaohua helped Mrs. Qin clean up the kitchen, only to find that the four little ones were no longer in the room.

She heard something moving in the yard and went out to take a look.

Liu Ming was walking back and forth under the eaves reciting articles.

Liu Guang and Xiao Miaomiao stood side by side in the snow, practicing the boxing skills they just learned yesterday.

The big green mule was also standing well in the family's cattle pen.

Jiang Xiaohua looked around the yard, but did not see Liu Yong, so she asked Liu Ming, who was nearest:

"Where's your elder brother?"

Liu Ming stopped, looked at the cow pen, and said, "Big brother said he wanted to give Daqing some water."

"Drink water?" Jiang Xiaohua was shocked when she thought of the well outside the courtyard wall.

She didn't care to speak and ran towards the door.

The snow on the ground had been stepped on by many people before and had not yet been cleared.

Jiang Xiaohua ran to the center of the yard and stumbled and slipped.

The three little cubs were all startled, "Mother!" "Mother!"

But Jiang Xiaohua didn't seem to hear her and didn't know the pain. She got up and rushed out of the door.

Liu Guang was smart and reacted immediately, "Oh no, something happened to my eldest brother, right?"

The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly ran out.

Jiang Xiaohua has already arrived outside the courtyard wall. Although there is no moon tonight, it is bright with white snow shining on it.

At a glance, she saw a dark shadow lying beside the well.

Jiang Xiaohua did not dare to speak loudly, so she walked over and picked up the shadow, lifted it up, and then shouted:

"What are you doing lying down at the mouth of the well?!"

Liu Yong was suddenly arrested, and when he saw his stepmother's angry expression, he was still a little confused.

Liu Guang, Liu Ming and Xiao Miaomiao also arrived shortly after: "Mom! Brother! Are you okay?"

Liu Yong looked at everyone and muttered, "It's time for Daqing to drink water."

"I heard there was water in this well, so I wanted to get some, but..."

He thought he had done something wrong, and glanced at Jiang Xiaohua timidly, "I, I dropped our bucket, and I just wanted to pick it up..."

"You still want to fish it up?" Jiang Xiaohua was angry.

But the danger was over, so she let go of Liu Yong and adjusted her emotions at the same time.

Jiang Xiaohua took a few breaths before her beating heart calmed down a bit.

Liu Yong was still standing there in a daze. He lowered his head and held the corners of his clothes with both hands, looking at a loss.

Jiang Xiaohua softened her tone and said, "I don't blame you. If the bucket falls, just drop it."

"I'm just worried, you shouldn't put yourself in danger."

Liu Yong suddenly raised his head.

He looked at Jiang Xiaohua, with light flowing in his eyes.

Are you worried about him?

Does mother mean that he is more important than that barrel?

"Dangerous?" Liu Ming was curious, "Is this well dangerous?"

There are rivers and ponds in the village where they grew up, and there is no shortage of water at all.

Every household drinks water from the upper reaches of the river, and no one has ever dug a well at home.

Jiang Xiaohua sighed, "I blame my negligence. I should have made it clear to you in advance."

"This is a well, and it usually has to be dug very, very deep."

"The water inside is underground water. The spring water you see is formed by the underground water emerging from the surface."

The children all looked enlightened.

Liu Guang reasoned, "Since the well is very deep, there is still water in it."

"If a person falls, his life will be at stake!"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "That's right."

"So you kids must never go near the well."

Liu Yong asked, "What should I do if I want to fetch water?"

Jiang Xiaohua said categorically, "You must ask an adult to do it."

"With your stature, if you are not careful, you will be pulled into the well by the well rope!"

After Jiang Xiaohua said these words, there was silence around her.

She couldn't help but glance sideways proudly, "Huh, little guys, are you aware of being afraid now?"

But at first glance, Jiang Xiaohua was shocked, "Yong'er, you, why are you crying?"

Liu Yong actually cried.

He gritted his teeth and wiped his eyes desperately, trying not to cry, but the tears refused to obey him.

The younger brothers and sisters all looked at him with their mouths open in surprise.

This was the first time they saw their eldest brother cry.

When he lost his father, Liu Yong hugged his younger siblings without crying.

Being abused by his stepmother, he was starving and could not sleep, but Liu Yong did not cry.

Liu Yong did not cry when he stood in front of his younger brothers and sisters and was beaten for them.

When the little beans saw Liu Yong's tears, they realized that the eldest brother could cry too.

Jiang Xiaohua hates seeing others cry, let alone that it was all her fault.

She hurriedly wiped Liu Yong's tears, "Blame me, blame me for not making it clear."

"I shouldn't have been anxious just now, and I shouldn't have yelled at you so loudly..."

Liu Yong suddenly put down his hand wiping away tears and looked at Jiang Xiaohua with a face full of tears.

"Do not blame you."
