For some reason, when Ji Xiuping came into contact with Mu Daiyao's slightly disgusted eyes, he actually noticed that his heart shrank a little.

It's not fear, it's just an indescribable complex emotion.

Afterwards, Ji Xiuping felt irritated and angry. Why did this woman dare to look at him like this?

She is just their stepmother, an outsider that daddy can kick out at any time!

"Yes, so I asked my second brother to apologize to you. Mom, do you accept it or not?"

Ji Xiuping stared into Mu Daiyao's eyes and spoke word by word.

Accepted, they could accept a brief truce with her while daddy was at home.

If you don't accept it, they are not vegetarians, and they will definitely torture this woman until she can't stand it and apologize to them!

Mu Daiyao saw the true meaning of Ji Xiuping's words from Ji Xiuping's eyes, especially the title of "mother", which was even more ridiculed by him.

"Ji Xiuping, if you don't want to call me mother, don't call me mother. I'm just a stepmother who was bought by your father for twenty taels of silver."

Hearing that the woman in front of him was somewhat self-aware, Ji Xiukai crossed his arms, snorted from his nostrils, and said disdainfully: "It's good that you know!"

"But what about the stepmother? The most important thing in the village is filial piety. After you have been studying for so long, your husband must have taught you this, right?"

Mu Daiyao has already figured it out. It's also a rumor. Why is it said in the village that she is a vicious stepmother who bullies her stepson and stepdaughter?

From today on, she will spread the word in the village that these little brats from the Ji family have no respect for their elders, bully their stepmother, and ignore the word "filial piety".

She wanted to see who was the one who finally outweighed all these gossips!

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xiukai, the smartest person in the Ji family, immediately understood what this woman was planning.

His eyes widened in shock and anger, and he clenched his hands unconsciously: "How dare you!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to apologize to me, it doesn't matter if you don't want to recognize me as your mother."

Mu Daiyao shrugged with disapproval, pulled out the chair next to her, ignored the changes in the expressions of the little bastards in front of her, and continued.

"Listen, I originally wanted to be on the same page with you. I don't need you to respect me, and you don't expect me to be nice to you. But as the eldest son of Ji, you still go back on your word when you promised me something. Then

I don’t have to keep my promise.”

"I don't want to understand why you don't like me, nor do I want to cultivate some false mother-son relationship with you."

"The most important thing is that your father is often away from home, and your family doesn't have the extra money to find a new stepmother to take care of you, so..."

Mu Daiyao paused and raised her face with a contemptuous smile: "Since you don't want me to be your stepmother, then tell your father directly and ask him to divorce me. This is how you treat me."

You are a great blessing to me and the entire Ji family."

At this point, Mu Daiyao was still afraid that she was not exciting enough. She glanced at the three children of the Ji family who were shrinking like quails and did not dare to speak anymore. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, and asked slowly: "Why?

, you don’t dare, right?”

Hearing this, Ji Xiukai realized what his elder brother meant when he told him earlier that he was too impulsive and would cause trouble. His eyes were gloomy, but for the first time, he did not dare to speak wild words to Mu Daiyao again.

Yes, all the money his father earned was used to send them to school, and he hid the rest to prevent this woman from being caught by him, but the money was only enough to meet their daily expenses.

According to their family's conditions, it is impossible for anyone in the village to be willing to marry their daughter as a stepmother.

Moreover, as the eldest child of the Ji family, he personally witnessed the hard days when his father was both father and mother. How could he be willing to let his father live the same life again?

Ji Xiu Ping gritted his teeth with sourness in his heart. Of course he had thought about this, but he didn't expect that the woman he had always looked down on could see through it at a glance, making the threats he just made seem like a joke.

"Mom, don't you want us anymore? Do you think we are ignorant? We are your drag."

At this moment, Ji Xiujing's eyes were filled with tears, and he timidly raised his head to look at Mu Daiyao, who was sitting on the chair with a look of indifference on his face, and asked in a low voice.

"Shh," Mu Daiyao raised a finger and gently pressed it to her mouth, and replied in a calm tone: "Since you know, there is no need to say it."

Now she refuses to take either soft or hard advice. Let alone Ji Xiujing crying in front of her, even if he holds a piece of white silk in front of her and makes a fuss about hanging himself, Mu Dai Yao will look for firecrackers everywhere and put a dozen of them to celebrate.

"sorry."

After a long while, Ji Xiuping met Mu Daiyao's gaze. Although his eyes were unconvinced, he finally understood their current situation.

The woman in front of her is no longer the soft persimmon who can be bullied and allowed to be manipulated by them.

"Listen, starting from tonight, if you want to eat, you have to wash the dishes, and if you want to have new clothes to wear, you have to learn to wash clothes."

Mu Daiyao was no longer the type to soften up as soon as she was apologized to. What's more, looking at Ji's eldest son's gloomy eyes, how could she believe that he was sincere?

"We haven't done it and we won't do it."

Hearing this, Ji Xiuping thought that he almost blew up the kitchen last night, and had to admit that he was indeed not good at this aspect.

"My mother does this kind of thing. If you don't do it, who will?"

When Ji Xiukai heard this, he was originally unhappy because of the apology and immediately objected loudly.

"You call me mother now? Stop it, I am your stepmother, I am not responsible for this. I have grown so big, I eat and drink for free, and I don't work hard enough to distinguish between grains. Do you still feel proud?"

Among the children in the Ji family, only Ji Xiuping knew the meaning of these words. After all, he was young and thin-skinned. He pursed his lips and turned his face away.

Although Ji Xiujing didn't understand, it didn't stop him from hearing the sarcasm in Mu Daiyao's words. He didn't dare to say anything and hid behind his elder brother.

"What does it mean to eat and drink for free? Do you think I don't know that except for giving the old man from the school all the money my father earned is with you! If it weren't for my father, do you think you would be able to have a bite?"

Meat?"

Ji Xiukai was the one with the slowest sensitivity. He made a disdainful sound and cast a look of contempt at Mu Daiyao.

After all, no one in the Ji family knew that all the money was actually hidden in Ji Xiuping's hands. When Mu Daiyao heard this, she did not say anything to expose him. Instead, she curled her lips and glanced at the silent Ji Xiuping.

He said in a cold tone: "Either you learn now, or you will be responsible for the food at home in the future."
