Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 167

“To be honest, I’m kind of happy too.”

The five children sat there discussing, but after seeing that Sheng Fei and Lu Ting had not come home for a long time, they chatted for a while, then they got sleepy again and continued to sleep.

They still had to go to school tomorrow.

After the events of last night, Jixiang and Ruyi remained silent for a while.

Yesterday, not only was they beaten by Xu Yuxia, but Lu Jiefang also beat them. It was a joint beating from both parents. Jixiang and Ruyi were beaten until they were screaming like a ghost, and then they were punished to stand facing the wall and reflect on their mistakes.

The next morning, Jixiang and Ruyi’s butt was still swollen and their faces were flushed red. Xu Yuxia had them reflect at home and did not let them go to school. She asked the teacher for leave.

The two little ones were standing facing the wall, but they were very resentful.

“Jixiang, does your butt still hurt? It really hurt when Mom and Dad hit me. They not only hit me, but also pinched my arm. Look, even grandpa and grandma didn’t help us.”

“It hurts, I feel so bad. I hate Dad and Mom, I hate grandpa and grandma. I hate the two of them. They didn’t help me and even beat me. It was just an accident that I knocked over the kerosene lamp, it’s not my fault.”

Lu Jixiang was crying pitifully, wiping the tears on his face, looking very innocent.

That’s what Jixiang was thinking in his heart, wiping the tears from his face.

“Don’t cry, a real man shouldn’t cry easily.”

“They’re not my real parents, they must have picked me up. Why did they hit me so hard? Now grandpa and grandma don’t help me either. I feel like grandpa and grandma must hate us. Since that’s the case, I don’t want to be with them either. I hate them too.”

Lu Jixiang said fiercely, his little mouth chattering as he and Lu Ruyi contemplated.

In the end, the two of them concluded that since their parents and grandparents no longer loved them, they decided to run away from home.

This time, Xu Yuxia and Old Mrs. Lu were working outside, and Lu Jiefang had gone to the county for work, so only Lu Jianguo was left in the room.

But he was dozing off while smoking and reading the newspaper.

When the two little guys Lu Ruyi and Lu Jixiang secretly ran out, they glanced at Lu Jianguo’s room.

Because half the room had been burned down yesterday, but luckily it was only the other half.

Their bedding was still usable. Although there were some sparks, most of it was fine.

Even though it was burned down, the family was poor. They couldn’t afford to buy new ones right now, so they had to make do with using what they had.

Jixiang and Ruyi didn’t feel that they had done anything wrong. After all, even Grandma had often said that they were just children.

The grandma who had always doted on them so much, yet yesterday still let mom and dad beat them. They felt Grandma was also very bad, so the two of them immediately ran away in secret.

However, before they ran out, Lu Jianguo heard a sound and looked up instinctively.

Lu Ruyi and Lu Jixiang quickly shrank back and lowered their heads.

“Shh, be quiet, don’t let him find us.”

“I know, Grandpa is usually in his room. Just wait, he’ll fall asleep soon. But we’re running away from home, just leaving like this isn’t quite right.”

The two little guys crouched in the corner whispering.

Hearing what Lu Jixiang said, Lu Ruyi also felt that way.
