Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 169

Adults say there are treasures in the mountains because fortune favors the bold people. There are many strange encounters in the mountains, as well as some unknown creatures.

At least in this era, there are still animals and plants that humans have not yet discovered.

The two little guys naively thought there were treasures in the mountains, so they quickly agreed and put on their small backpacks.

“We’ll carry the bags, and put the vegetables and things in the backpacks.”

“But there are still some textbooks in the backpacks.”

“No, no, it’s just some notebooks. We’re running away from home, we don’t need to go to school anymore. I never wanted to go to school in the first place. If it wasn’t for Mom and Dad forcing me, I wouldn’t go. Now it’s perfect, we can just throw the books away. After this, we can go wherever we want and no one will control us anymore.”

Jixiang and Ruyi gleefully put on their small backpacks. They double checked to make sure that they didn’t forget anything, and took all the edible things from the kitchen, only taking what they could carry.

They left behind what they couldn’t carry.

The two little guys didn’t know the value of staple foods like rice, oil, and salt, so their ideas were very naive.

Just as Jixiang and Ruyi were about to leave, Lu Jixiang suddenly stopped.

“Brother, why did you stop? Is there something else we didn’t take?”

“I suddenly remembered that when they go out to trade things, don’t they need money? That money, the one yuan, two yuan, even the ten cents and twenty cents. I remember there was even five cents. Let’s go take all that money too, otherwise when we finish eating all this, we’ll still need money to buy things.”

Lu Jixiang was the elder brother, so his thoughts were more practical than Lu Ruyi’s.

Hearing what Lu Jixiang said, Lu Ruyi’s eyes lit up.

He thought his brother was so smart to have thought of that too.

But where were they keeping the money? Lu Ruyi furrowed his brow and thought about it.

“Brother, but where do they keep the money? Usually Mom is afraid we’ll spend it randomly, so she never lets us know. I think it’s in Grandma’s room.”

“Right, they’ve hidden the money in their room. You wait here, take my backpack too. Grandpa is already asleep, right? I’ll go and sneak into their room now. Yesterday when the fire was burning, I saw Grandma digging a jar out of the ground and putting it on the table in front of their bed. As long as I go in, I can get the money. Then I won’t give it back to them this time.”

Lu Jixiang gave his small backpack to Lu Ruyi.

Lu Ruyi listened to his big brother Lu Jixiang very obediently. After taking Lu Jixiang’s backpack, he watched Lu Jixiang carefully and quietly go into Lu Jianguo’s room.

Once inside, Lu Jixiang looked around, his gaze fixing on Lu Jianguo.

He watched Lu Jianguo cautiously and stood by his side.

After watching for a while and seeing that Lu Jianguo was in a deep sleep, Lu Jixiang quietly crouched down and went to the small table next to him.

Since the table was quite high, Lu Jixiang carefully brought over a small stool and then carefully reached up to take the small jar on the table.

After getting the jar, Lu Jixiang almost missed a step getting down from the stool, but he steadied himself and quietly got down.

Opening the jar, he found something wrapped in plastic bag and cloth inside.
