Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 136

In the end, Lu Ting could only swallow the food in his mouth and gave Old Mrs. Lu a glance.

If it weren’t for Xu Yuxia pushing him over here, he wouldn’t have come here and suffer.

However, what Xu Yuxia said was right. Old Mrs. Lu was his own mother. No matter how much he disliked her, there was nothing he could do.

This family bond was indispensable.

“Mom, I…”

“Okay, okay, okay, hurry up and eat your food, and then go back. You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to. It’s not like anyone’s forcing you. You make it sound like I’m the one mistreating you and forcing you, but I’m not forcing you. You can choose to speak or not.”

Just as Lu Ting was about to speak, he was shot down by Old Mrs. Lu’s barrage of words.

Lu Ting’s face looked a bit confused. He knew his mother was like this. Others would say she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but Lu Ting felt his parents had a sharp tongue and sharp heart. Unless they stabbed him to the bone, they wouldn’t be satisfied.

After being spoken to like this, what else could Lu Ting say?

He could only continue to lower his head and eat.

Unfortunately, as soon as Lu Ting started eating, Old Mrs. Lu began to mock and criticize him.

And whenever Lu Ting tried to talk to her, Old Mrs. Lu would tell him to keep eating.

After a few back-and-forths, Lu Ting directly put down his chopsticks and calmly told Xu Yuxia that he was full.

“Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, I’m full. I’ll head back first.”

Lu Ting only took two bites of food, yet he had put down his chopsticks. This was clearly not because he was full.

Xu Yuxia gave a meaningful glance to Lu Jiefang. What was wrong with this Old Mrs. Lu?

If they didn’t keep Lu Ting here, how were they going to go to Lu Ting’s house to find the things? This was more of a hindrance than a help. Xu Yuxia’s thoughts were known to Lu Jiefang. He immediately stopped Lu Ting and smiled.

“No, no, you’ve only eaten two bites. Eat a bit more, eat a bit more, otherwise people might think we’re mistreating you.”

Lu Jiefang saw that Old Mrs. Lu was about to speak again, so he directly pulled Old Mrs. Lu aside.

He whispered to her.

“Mom, you can say whatever you want later, but now everyone is eating together, and Dad is watching too. The way you’re talking to Lu Ting, how do you expect him to respond to you?”

“I’m his mother, what’s wrong with me scolding him a bit?”

Lu Jiefang spoke with her in a low voice, but Old Mrs. Lu raised her voice intentionally, making sure that Lu Ting could hear it.

Lu Ting was still feeling a bit heartbroken at the beginning, but now he suddenly felt at peace.

Because he remembered how Sheng Fei’s stepmother treated her poorly after her real mother passed away.

For the sake of a 50 yuan dowry, they were even willing to sell Sheng Fei. A family like that, how could they possibly treat her well?

Sometimes even the real mother is not good, let alone the stepmother. The stepmother is even more motherly than the real mother, and the real mother is more stepmother-like.

Lu Ting suddenly felt relieved. He no longer took Old Mrs. Lu’s words to heart and simply started eating his meal.

Lu Ting let go of the discomfort in his heart and started eating slowly. Xu Yuxia quickly finished her meal, and after eating, she started tidying up her clothes.

“Yuxia, where are you going?”

Old Mrs. Lu unconsciously asked Xu Yuxia.

Xu Yuxia originally wanted to sneak away, but with everyone’s eyes on her, she felt guilty. She glanced at Lu Ting nervously and then explained the excuse she had prepared long ago.

“I’m a bit full from eating, so I’m going to the Aunt Li’s house next door to sit for a while. You guys continue eating, I’ll be back soon.”

TL: The stepmother is even more motherly than the real mother, and the real mother is more stepmother-like. (This is a sarcastic remark. If the real mother is like the stepmother, then she is bad. And stepmother is even more motherly than real mother, it means both are bad. Hope you get it.)
