Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 86 None of the four children are mine.

arrive home,

Lin Erzhu and Wang Xiuxiu saw that their daughter had also come back with them.

He hurriedly asked:

"Da Ya, Er Ya, why did you come back together?"

Daya said with a grin:

"My aunt took us to Fuhai Restaurant for dinner."

We ate lots of delicious food.

Er Ya excitedly added:

"Yes, Mom and Dad, the food there is delicious."

Wang Xiuxiu looked at Lu Qingqing and said gratefully:

"Qingqing, I'm sorry to have troubled you again."

Lu Qingqing waved her hand:

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying?"

We bought all the things Shi Tou and the others needed for school.

I happened to be passing by the embroidery workshop, so I picked up the children early.

Wang Xiuxiu excitedly said, holding Lu Qingqing's hand:

"Qingqing, can Shitou and the others go to school now?"

This is wonderful!

Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile:

"Yes, sister-in-law, so that the children can have a bright future."

We benefited from it too.

Lin Erzhu stood to the side, grinning sheepishly.

"That's right, that's right, it's all thanks to Yunlan and Qingqing's excellent teaching."

Daya and Erya also came over:

"We should also learn embroidery well so that we can help our families in the future."

Lu Qingqing stroked Daya and Erya's heads and said:

"You are all good boys."

The children smiled happily when they heard the praise.

Lu Qingqing noticed that Lin Qingshan wasn't there and asked:

"Sister-in-law, where is Father?"

Wang Xiuxiu said happily:

"Dad said your new house is finished."

The furniture I ordered should all be ready by now.

He went to check with the carpenter; he should be back soon.

Lu Qingqing suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is. Dad is always so concerned about things at home."

Lin Yunlan continued:

"Dad has worked hard all his life, we must take good care of him in the future."

Wang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement:

That's natural.

Our family should live a harmonious and happy life.

Just then, Lin Qingshan pulled up in front of his house with a cart full of furniture.

Hearing the commotion, everyone came out of the courtyard.

Lu Qingqing said with delight:

"Dad, you pulled him back so quickly."

Lin Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile:

"Of course, I'm thinking of getting your new home decorated as soon as possible."

Lin Yunlan quickly stepped forward to help unload the goods:

"Father, you've gone through so much trouble."

Lin Qingshan said happily:

"Not tired at all, second and third brothers."

"You two lend a hand and help carry all the furniture into the new house."

Lin Yunlan and Lin Erzhu quickly replied:

"Okay, Dad."

The two brothers were full of energy.

They carefully lifted each piece of furniture and walked towards the new house.

Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu helped direct from the side:

"Be careful, don't squeeze your hands."

The children followed excitedly behind, chattering away:

"The new house needs new furniture!"

The whole family worked together.

They quickly moved all the furniture into the new house.

The new house suddenly had a warm and cozy feel.

Lin Qingshan walked up to Lu Qingqing,

He took out a money bag and said:

"Qingqing, this is the 120 taels of silver you gave to your father."

Liu Da and his group consisted of eighteen people in total.

I worked for more than forty days.

The wages were over nine hundred coins.

Dad felt bad that they were eating at our house.

Sometimes they secretly work overtime to build houses for us.

So Father decided to give each of them one tael of silver.

The total is eighteen taels of wages.

The materials used to build the house cost a total of seventy-nine taels.

The total is ninety-seven taels.

This is the remaining twenty-three taels of silver.

Lu Qingqing quickly declined, saying:

"Father, you can keep the rest of the silver for yourself."

You've worked hard these past few days too.

Lin Qingshan shook his head.

He stuffed the money pouch into Lu Qingqing's hand again and said:

"Qingqing, your father doesn't lack money, and you are all so filial."

My father eats and dresses better than the people in the village.

Father is already very happy.

Lu Qingqing's eyes were slightly red:

"Dad, you've worked so hard for this family your whole life."

Please accept this money; consider it a small token of our appreciation.

Lin Qingshan sighed:

"My children, I know what you mean."

But you'll have a better use for this money if you keep it.

Lu Qingqing's attitude was firm:

"Father, I will feel uneasy if you don't accept it."

Lin Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded:

"Alright then, Dad will listen to you."

Lu Qingqing then smiled:

"That's right, Father."

Lin Qingshan put the silver back into his clothes.

He was extremely gratified; he never expected this.

I am so happy to be living such a good life now.

Then Lu Qingqing happily said:

"Father, the children have all passed the test successfully."

"I can start school tomorrow."

Lin Qingshan's smile widened instantly.

His eyes were full of surprise:

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Our child is promising.

"Maybe I'll be able to pass the imperial examinations and return with an official title someday!"

Lu Qingqing nodded with a smile:

"Father, as long as they study hard..."

"You'll definitely be successful."

Lin Yunlan also came over excitedly and said:

"Father, you can just wait to enjoy your retirement from now on."

Lin Qingshan said happily:

"It's all thanks to your hard work that this old man like me can enjoy a comfortable life."

The children were asleep at night.

Lin Yunlan asked:

"Qingqing, are you asleep?"

Lu Qingqing and Shuang'er slept in another bed.

She was still awake at this time.

Lu Qingqing responded softly:

Not yet.

Lin Yunlan turned over towards Lu Qingqing and said:

"I have something I want to tell you."

Lu Qingqing asked curiously:

"What?"

Then Lin Yunlan said:

“Let’s talk in the yard.”

Lu Qingqing gently got up.

They followed Lin Yunlan into the courtyard.

The moonlight, like water, spilled into every corner of the courtyard.

Lin Yunlan found a stone bench and sat down, while Lu Qingqing stood to the side.

Lin Yunlan held Lu Qingqing's hand.

After a moment of silence, as if he had made a great decision,

He said slowly:

"Qingqing, there's something I've been keeping from you."

Actually, none of these four children are mine.

Lu Qingqing was startled and looked at Lin Yunlan in disbelief:

"Yunlan, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Yunlan took a deep breath:

"Shi Tou, he is the Third Prince's child."

Back then, the third prince was imprisoned.

The third prince wanted to protect the stone.

He entrusted his secret to me.

I originally intended to wait until the situation stabilized.

They wanted to return the stone, but so many years had passed.

There hasn't been a suitable opportunity yet.

Lu Qingqing's eyes widened, and she was momentarily at a loss for words:

"What about the other children?"

Lin Yunlan shook his head with a wry smile:

"The other children also have their own backgrounds."

However, all of them were quite bumpy.

But anyway, now that we're at our home...

We must protect them.

Lu Qingqing steadied herself, her gaze hardening.

"Yunlan, regardless of their background..."

In my heart, they are our children.

Lin Yunlan embraced Lu Qingqing with emotion:

"Qingqing, I feel relieved to hear you say that."

Lu Qingqing asked:

Are they children from four families?

But I think Er Mao and San Mao look a bit alike.

Lin Yunlan said:

"Er Mao and San Mao are brothers."

Shuang'er is their aunt's younger sister.

Lu Qingqing looked surprised:

"So that's how it is. What exactly happened to their family?"

Lin Yunlan's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with grief and indignation:

"Their family was originally a kind family."

However, that treacherous person coveted the family's property and plotted against them.

He ended up with his family destroyed and his family wiped out.

Er Mao and San Mao's parents risked their lives to protect them.

That's how they managed to escape.

Lu Qingqing clenched her fists, indignant:

"This villain is truly despicable!"

"And what about Shuang'er? What happened to her?"

Lin Yunlan sighed:

"Shuang'er's parents encountered an accident on their way to seek refuge with Er Mao and San Mao's family."

Before he died, he entrusted Shuang'er to them.

Lu Qingqing looked at the sleeping children inside the room with heartache:

"These children have suffered so much."

From now on, we must protect them thoroughly.

Lin Yunlan nodded firmly:

"Don't worry, Qingqing, even if it costs me my life..."

We will not let them get hurt again.
