Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs
Chapter 36 Vigilance
As soon as Mason Lai left, Xia Bai'an turned back and saw that the foundations of the two houses had been laid.
Build the wall tomorrow, install the beams the day after tomorrow, and lay the tiles the day after tomorrow.
"Goo-"
A voice pierced the silence of the Mo family.
Xia Bai'an followed the sound and saw two children sitting in a corner with their stomachs covered, looking at her pitifully.
Xia Bai'an was puzzled: "Did you two not eat just now?"
"I ate, but I'm not full." Mo Xue pouted.
Mo Yu rubbed her belly: "They eat fast and hard, I can't beat them."
"puff--"
Xia Bai'an couldn't help laughing, thinking of those big men who were so strong that they could lift her up with one hand, let alone these two children with thin arms and thin legs, they really couldn't compete with those adults.
"Let's go, let's add some food."
Xia Bai'an rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, and the two children hurriedly followed.
The two children are growing up. Before, it was because they hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so Xia Bai'an searched and searched. Now that Mo Xue has started to eat, there is no taboo for eating, so he just took it directly. A hanging piece of meat came down.
"Do you eat so much meat?" Mo Xue looked at her worriedly, "Less less, the rest can be used as bacon."
"I'll marinate half of it later, and divide the rest into half. I'll use one part to boil the oil, and the other part to cook vegetables for you."
As Xia Bai'an said, he used a knife to separate the meat. The fatty meat was boiled in oil. The rest of the meat was fat and thin. One part was marinated and hung up. Vegetable soup with rice.
The meat just slid into the pot, and the aroma was overflowing.
The throats of the two children slipped, and by the time Xia Bai'an put the food on the table, the two of them had already devoured it. Xia Bai'an scooped up soup for the two children, and went to boil medicine for Mo Che.
Mo Yu saw it, ate the braised pork, and blinked: "Mother, it seems to be getting better and better for us."
"kindness."
Mo Xue nodded, and helped to save some of the braised pork for Xia Bai'an, then looked at Mo Yu, and asked hesitantly, "Could she have really reformed herself?"
"I think it's very similar, but Daddy was also treated by such a good friend..."
"Well, let's live like this for now."
Mo Xue was not sure for a moment.
Xia Bai'an fed Mo Che the medicine and came back, and saw that all the dishes on the table were reserved for himself, and the two children didn't go to rest, so they sat down in confusion, picked up the bowls and chopsticks: "What are you staring at me for?" ?”
"Today's bricklayer, you clearly know that he is dishonest in his business, why do you still want to make a deal with him? You even said that the land was burned and it was not easy to grow crops, but you still bought it." Mo Xue asked.
Mo Yu followed behind and added: "You also gave him an old hen, aren't we at a loss?"
Xia Bai'an couldn't hold back his laughter again.
These two children are quite preoccupied, even a chicken is not letting go.
But Gu Nian they are still little kids.
Xia Bai'an patiently explained.
"Bricklayer Lai is indeed unkind in his business, but the tiles he brings are indeed good, and the people he brings are also smart in doing things, aren't they?"
"Yes." Mo Xue and Mo Yu nodded, and they could also see that the foundation of the house was laid neatly and beautifully.
Xia Bai'an immediately said: "And repairing the house is our goal, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"That's why I use them." Xia Bai'an pursed his lips, seeing the two children's faces were still confused, and said with a smile, "As long as they can help me achieve my goal, it doesn't matter if they are kind or not?"
Mo Yu's brows were deeply frowned: "But he is not kind in his business, he must have deceived other people, but you didn't expose it, but still concealed it for him, isn't this considered an accomplice?"
It really looks like your father.
Xia Bai'an couldn't help laughing, thinking that before Mo Che turned black, he was upright and couldn't rub a little sand in his eyes, which caused disaster just now. It turned out that he taught the two children like this before.
"If you become the emperor, you will be able to complain for everyone in the world. But now, we are just people in the countryside with life like straws, and even our own lives are in trouble. If we still care about everything, we may not pass this day. "
Xia Bai'an said so, seeing the disapproving expressions of the two children, he was not in a hurry to make them change their minds, but continued to eat.
The two children looked at each other.
Xia Bai'an's teaching was completely different from what his father taught them.
Who should they listen to?
When he was full of wine and food, Xia Bai'an watched the two children absent-mindedly thinking about today's problems, then secretly lit a torch, went to the land he just bought in the back mountain, and took a look at the riverside.
The land of Mo Xue originally belonged to her, and the Xia family, as the rich landowners here, would definitely not make a move to set fire to the land, especially this kind of good place not far from the river, how could it be burned? What?
She went around in a circle and found that other places were fine, only this place was different.
After pondering for a long time, she decided to ask the village head's wife.
As soon as she asked this question, the village head's wife slapped her legs excitedly: "Of course I know about this! You owed money to her as a daughter-in-law of the Mo family back then, but in the end you couldn't pay the money, so the county magistrate sentenced you to confiscate the money. The land was sold to others, and if you went to discuss business that night, wouldn’t the land be set on fire!”
"At that time we also said that such a good piece of land should be burned if it is said to be burned. Then you went to the court, and the county magistrate only said that the land was not worth much, and awarded you several pieces of land to others. Woolen cloth."
The village head's wife said that she has a nose and an eye, and she also muttered that she even forgot such a big thing.
Xia Bai'an frowned tightly.
This thing sounds a bit too strange.
She asked again: "I owe money, why did it go to the government office?"
"Then I don't know... But at that time, your two brats seemed to be saying that the county magistrate was unfair or something."
"I see."
Xia Bai'an's eyes turned cold.
Since she came here, she has been busy with her life, completely forgetting that this relegation will definitely blacken an upright person like Mo Che. I'm afraid that among them, the pressure from those officials and guards will be indispensable to completely eradicate the Mo family.
But... they were afraid that they would not dare to do it too blatantly and cause suspicion.
So I had no choice but to figure it out slowly, not to mention that Mo Che was still lying on the bed without making a sound, the county magistrate and the like had no choice but to exploit him, and wished to use other methods to kill him.
Thinking of this possibility, Xia Bai'an suddenly became vigilant: "Thank you for telling me these things, then I will go back first."
"Wait a minute!"
The village head's wife stopped her, "Why are you so politely mentioning that piece of land? Could it be that you still want to buy it?"
"Tomorrow they will bring the land deed." Xia Bai'an was helpless, she was indeed planning to buy it back.
"Don't buy it! Don't panic!" The village chief's wife screamed.
Build the wall tomorrow, install the beams the day after tomorrow, and lay the tiles the day after tomorrow.
"Goo-"
A voice pierced the silence of the Mo family.
Xia Bai'an followed the sound and saw two children sitting in a corner with their stomachs covered, looking at her pitifully.
