Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 159

Lu Jiefang followed after washing his feet and climbed into the bed. He originally wanted to hug Xu Yuxia, but was pushed away by Xu Yuxia as well.

In the end, the couple slept back-to-back.

Neither of them spoke to the other.

After being beaten by their mother, Jixiang and Ruyi has indeed been well-behaved these past few days.

At first, they would go to play by the small river right after school. Because the boys always like to go down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, their clothes would get all dirty.

If grandpa and grandma were home, they would even help them wash their clothes.

But recently, grandpa and grandma didn’t come back home, so it was just mom and them.

If they continue to be disobedient, they might get scolded again, so Jixiang and Ruyi didn’t dare to go play.

The two little guys puffed out their cheeks, a bit dissatisfied with Xu Yuxia’s attitude towards them. But even their father was helpless, so the two little guys could only act obediently in front of Xu Yuxia and try to outwit her.

“She doesn’t let us play, do we just not play then? You can try a different way.”

“You still want to go down to the river? Didn’t you hear what mom said last time? She said if we dirtied our clothes again, she would hang us up and beat us. My butt still hurts.”

“She’s not our mom, she’s a big meanie. Look at others, they all play and get all dirty, but you didn’t hear their moms say they’d beat them. It’s just our mom who is so strict and serious, and she even lectures us. I can’t accept this.”

“Then what do you want to do? How do you want to play?”

Jixiang and Ruyi were thinking of a strategy.

Suddenly after waiting for a while, the two children put on their backpacks.

Lu Jixiang suddenly thought of an idea.

Since wearing clothes would dirty them, they might as well just take off all their clothes and go play in the river.

“That’s a great idea. That way, even if we get mud on our bodies, we can just wash it off in the river.”

The two children took off all their clothes and played in the river.

This small river was very shallow, basically not deep enough to drown in, and there were many stones at the bottom of the river.

The river looked clear, and sometimes there were small fish and shrimp.

The two children played joyfully, and this time they didn’t dirty their clothes. They played for quite a long time.

When the two of them realized they should go back home, they found that it was already very dark.

The two little guys hurriedly washed themselves clean, put on their clothes, and ran back home barefoot, holding their shoes.

Xu Yuxia was really furious at home. She thought that after disciplining them, they would behave better, but this time they actually came back so late.

Normally they would come back within two hours after school, but now it was already past dinnertime and they still hadn’t returned.

Xu Yuxia sat at the courtyard gate. When she heard footsteps, she immediately grabbed the stick in her hand and opened the door.

Sure enough, it was Jixiang and Ruyi hurriedly running back.

The two little guys ran back, still dripping with sweat.

“Where have you two been? I told you to come back early and now it’s this late?”

Xu Yuxia looked at the two of them and directly grabbed Lu Jixiang’s arm and hit his bottom.

Lu Ruyi was watching the show beside them.

Lu Jixiang was a bit dissatisfied.

“Didn’t you say we wouldn’t be in trouble if we didn’t dirty our clothes? Why are you still hitting us when we’re back late? I don’t want you anymore. I hate you.”
