Unfortunately, this peace only lasted for half a day. Before dawn the next day, a series of wailing and howling sounds came from the living room, and the neighbors banged on the door, shouting for them to control the children.

Shen Qingshu, without even opening his eyes, urged, "Wife, hurry up and check on the two children. I have to go to work at dawn, and I really can't handle this."

"If I can't wake up, it will be a big problem if I make mistakes while purchasing."

Lin Fengjiao listened to these words without saying a word. She glanced at the person who turned over and continued to sleep, feeling a tightness in her chest. She looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist and calmed herself down.

I got out of bed and opened the door. In the living room, the two were fighting over something. The younger one was crying and wailing, "Waaah, it's mine! This is mine! Brother, let go of me!"

"Hmph, whoever gets it keeps it. You get out of my way."

Seeing this, Lin Fengjiao instantly felt a headache coming on. A surge of anger welled up in her chest. She took a deep breath to suppress it, put on a fake smile, and walked over, grabbing one of them with each hand.

"What's wrong with Congcong and Mingming? Let me see what they're arguing about!"

"Oh, it's just one candy. Stop arguing, I'll get it for you. But you can't eat too many, or your teeth will get cavities, you know?"

The two children quieted down when they heard that they would be given candy.

She cried out, "Mom, hurry up and get the candy! Hurry up, we'll stop arguing once we have the candy!"

Lin Fengjiao nodded, went back to the bedroom, grabbed a handful of candy, counted enough for the two of them to share, divided it equally between them, and patted them on the shoulder: "Alright, go to sleep."

"It's not even dawn yet. This house isn't soundproof. If you keep making so much noise, the neighbors will say you're not well-behaved. Let's talk about it when it's light."

"Your dad still has to go to work, it's a mentally taxing job, he can't afford to not get enough rest, or he'll make mistakes."

After patiently explaining the situation, Lin Fengjiao took the two children to the next room, watched them get into bed and cover themselves with blankets, and then breathed a sigh of relief before closing the door.

The twins immediately huddled together after she left.

"Brother, do you think this kind of commotion will really work? The method that Brother Stone suggested doesn't seem to be working. She didn't get angry or hit us at all, and things didn't escalate."

Congcong tilted his head and thought for a moment, then whispered, "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let that bad woman hear us. Brother Stone's method will definitely work. Adults can sleep just as much as lazy pigs."

"We don't need that. We can sleep well during the day and make a ruckus at night. Today we're fighting over candy, tomorrow we'll wash the dishes and smash them. That kind of bad woman will definitely be amazing."

"We'll cry and act pitiful then. Brother Stone said that's the most effective way. No one will believe the bad woman's words, and sooner or later she'll be kicked out."

Mingming nodded: "This way, this house belongs to our mother. No one is allowed to come in or take over our house."

Congcong nodded and said, "That's right. Look, we've listened to Brother Shitou, haven't we become much better than before? Even that bad woman knows to give us candy now, how nice is that?"

"I understand. We need to cause trouble to make that bad woman angry. When she gets angry, we just need to cry and act pitiful."

"Yes, go to sleep. That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll listen to my brother."

When Lin Fengjiao woke up in the morning, her eyes were swollen and painful, and her head felt heavy. After making breakfast, she yawned and looked listless.

Shen Qingshu glanced at them but didn't say anything. After finishing his meal, he pushed his bowl and chopsticks aside and said gently, "Wife, I'm going to work. Please keep an eye on the children. If they make a fuss, just scold them."

Lin Fengjiao hummed in agreement, saw the person to the door, and returned yawning, holding a bowl but with little appetite.

"Congcong, Congming, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"For lunch, I'd like to eat chicken drumsticks."

I want to eat braised pork.

"..."

The twins stared at her longingly, thinking about what Brother Stone had said: to make bad women spend more money, so that their father would feel sorry for them and wouldn't like bad women anymore.

Yes, once Mom comes home, this will still be their family of four's home, and no outsiders are allowed to come.

Lin Fengjiao was used to spending money at Jiang Lie's house, so she naturally wouldn't control herself now. She could buy whatever she wanted to eat, and Jiang Lie never said anything about it before.

"Okay, go ahead and buy whatever you want to eat."

After she went to the kitchen to clean up, Mingming whispered, "Brother, this bad woman doesn't seem so bad after all. Should we keep listening to Brother Stone? Braised pork, please."

"She really made us chicken drumsticks and braised pork. When Mom was at home, she only made them for holidays. The chicken drumsticks were for Dad. This bad woman really made us eat them."

Congcong glared at him: "Are you out of your mind? This is poison in disguise. Brother Shitou said that she will pretend to be nice to us before she has a child. If we believe her, we're doomed."

"Once she has a child, we'll be bullied to death. How can you believe that a bad woman is good to us? The money she spends isn't even earned by Dad. That money originally belonged to our own mother."

"What does it have to do with her? You're such an idiot."

Mingming immediately fell silent, muttering softly, "Brother is right. I'll listen to Brother Shitou. He's so pitiful. He definitely won't hurt us."

Congcong snorted: "You can tell by looking at Brother Stone. He's so pitiful right now. When we have something delicious for lunch, we'll secretly bring some for Brother Stone too."

"Let him teach us more skills to drive away bad women, so that Mother can come home sooner."

"Okay, I understand, brother."

The twins obediently followed her to buy groceries. After entering the courtyard, they met the stares of those who were looking at them and shouted, "Hello, Grandma Wang! Hello, Grandma Xu! We want to eat something delicious!"

The two elderly women asked with smiles, "Oh dear, what would you like to eat?"

"Braised pork with a big chicken leg, Mom makes it for us."

"...Chicken, braised pork, is this New Year's? How can you eat like this on ordinary days? You have to be careful with your money. In the past, we had to save money."

Lin Fengjiao didn't catch the hidden meaning in his words and smiled innocently: "It's okay, isn't the point of making money to spend it? If you run out, you can just make more. Eating and drinking well is the most important thing."

"I'll leave when the kids like the food. They're growing, so naturally they need to eat well."

"You guys chat, I'm going home to tidy up."

Once the mother and her two children were inside, the yard began to buzz with chatter: "She's just a young girl, she doesn't know how to manage a household, she's much worse than my niece."

"It's a pity that Shen Qingshu is unwilling to agree, otherwise he would definitely be better than this girl. Who would eat such lavish meals right after getting married? No family could afford that."

"Using the child as an excuse, I think she just wants to eat it herself. Girls from the countryside are all so stingy and know how to manage a household well, they would never be like her."
