Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Chapter 144: Always Ease the Relationship

Li Niusan jokingly punched Li Chang: "Even food can't stop you from talking nonsense!"

The others devoured the fruit in big mouthfuls, and each of them licked their lips with satisfaction.

Remembering Li Niusan's behavior of asking for fruit just now, they secretly discussed: "Why don't we go and ask for some fruit to eat too?"

"Didn't you hear what Niu San said just now? This fruit is very expensive. Can our relationship with his family compare to that with the Lin family? Or maybe not..."

"Uncles, eat some more and rest for a while before starting to work."

Lin Yashu came out with a plate filled with sliced pears, more than enough for everyone present to share.

Before I could even sigh, a group of people rushed over and divided up the fruit in the plate like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

The plate became lighter before I even put it down.

Li Chang grabbed two pieces and saw that the little girl was still standing there quietly. He felt like an adult was snatching fruit from a child.

He nudged the others who were still snatching food with his elbow and said, "Stop snatching! The children have nothing to eat because you've snatched it all away."

"You guys eat it. Mom said all this is for you." Lin Yashu shook her head, put down the plate and left.

Dad and Mom were still drawing in the house. When Lin Yashu returned, the brothers Jinli were all there listening to their stepmother talk about the land.

The drawing was already more than half done, and Bai Sui'an took the time to explain the function of the machine to Ye Lingche.

"That area is salinized, which will reduce the emergence rate and yield of crops after maturity. It will take some time to control it."

Bai Sui'an knew all this because the country where she used to live was a major agricultural country and she had some understanding of farming.

No one else could understand what she said. The children were completely confused. They only knew that the land was salty and they couldn't grow crops.

Lin Rongkang asked, "Don't you need salt for cooking? Can't you take the salt from the fields home and cook it?"

Bai Sui'an chuckled, "You even know to add salt when cooking. Rong Kang is really smart. But, the salt from this land is different from the salt we eat. You can't eat it."

"Good."

After finishing the remaining strokes, Bai Sui'an took the finished drawing out.

After eating a few fruits, everyone smiled more.

With Li Niusan around, Bai Sui'an could make some arrangements and put forward his needs. Li Niusan was experienced and naturally led others on how to do it.

What Bai Sui'an wants to make this time is also relatively common. There is also a waterwheel in the village, and one waterwheel is enough for the villagers to use.

"Are you going to make a waterwheel yourself?" Li Niusan looked at the blueprint. "This requires several experienced craftsmen to work together. If you want us to do it, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it well."

Bai Sui'an had seen the waterwheel in the village. It was a relatively large one. It was built by someone hired by the villagers with funds raised by the villagers.

The drawings Bai Sui'an draws now are somewhat similar to the ones in the village, but not quite the same.

Because she didn't want to replicate an identical waterwheel.

Others have also noticed that the size of the cuts varies.

Li Chang glanced at Bai Sui'an and whispered in agreement, "You don't know how to do it either? This size is much smaller than the one in our village. You haven't been to the fields to see it, so you probably don't know. Then..."

Bai Sui'an gave him a kind look and he shut up.

After all, the sweet taste of the fruit was still in his mouth, and Li Chang didn't dare to say a word against Bai Sui'an.

"It takes a lot of time and effort to make a big one. My land is far from the fields in the village, so I'll make a small one and use it in that small area."

Bai Sui'an was not angry, and patiently explained to others how to make each component.

She measured and marked the parts with Li Niusan, and the others began cutting along the marked lines.

When you are tired, there is a chair to sit on; when you are thirsty, there is tea to drink.

Bai Sui'an didn't rush anyone. In short, working at the Lin family was quite relaxing.

After working for a long time, Li Chang, who was afraid to talk to others at the beginning, gradually dared to say a few words, and then could occasionally chat with Bai Sui'an about family matters like Li Niusan.

After a few more words, everyone felt that Bai Sui'an was not so scary after all.

The main thing was that the couple just now, one talking about the village business and the other talking about his fists, scared those who had a bad impression of Bai Sui'an before.

Looking at them again later, I found that both the couple looked kind and could talk to each other well.

It would not be a bad thing for them to be on good terms with the Lin family.

Near noon, Zhuying came back and bought a lot of vegetables and meat, which made Li Chang stare at her.

"Does your family eat so well every day?" Li Chang asked.

The others were also shocked when they saw the huge amount of fish and meat.

Li Niusan was not surprised: "Sister Bai has many patients and children at home, so it's okay for her to eat better."

"Yes, the children at home are growing up. My husband and his elder brother are in poor health, so they need to be taken good care of." Bai Sui'an said.

"This..." Li Chang glanced at Bai Sui'an and Zhu Ying, and asked suspiciously, "There are only two people in your family who can work. Can you support such a large family? You can't just do what Chen said and go..."

He stopped talking halfway through.

Zhuying put the things away and came out to help saw the bamboo.

He and Bai Sui'an stared at Li Chang together, unable to contain their anger, and began to curse:

"Sister-in-law, who is this? Why did you let him come to work in our house?"

Zhuying raised the bamboo pole in his hand and glared at Li Chang, "Get out of our house!"

He looked more ferocious than Ye Lingche and Bai Sui'an, and his aura rose in an instant.

He really wanted to hit someone.

Li Chang was so frightened that he couldn't sit still: "No! I just want to know what you do to support your family, I have no other ideas!"

Bai Sui'an stopped Zhu Ying and said, "Uncle Chang is just not very good at talking. I'm used to it."

After Zhuying sat back down, Bai Sui'an said to Li Chang with a half-smile, "We don't know much about farming, but we have some skills. We can earn some money. If Uncle Chang is curious, he can also do this job."

Li Chang waved his hand: "That's still not the case. Haha, you can even kill a wild boar. We can't compare with you. No way."

It was almost time for dinner, so Bai Sui'an asked them to go back and cook first and come back in the afternoon.

After everyone left, Zhuying asked Bai Sui'an what happened this morning.

"Those people just now don't usually hang out with us, right? Why did we let them stay?"

Bai Sui'an told the story of what happened when she was looking at the fields this morning, and she explained: "To do business, we need the help of the villagers, and we must always let their hearts be with us.

This morning we spoke harshly, but then we treated them better in other small ways, being more approachable, and that should have helped smooth things over a bit."

Zhu Ying said in frustration, "Oh! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so cruel to that person. Didn't I ruin your plan?"

"It's okay, just be yourself. It would be strange if a family were all so close."
