Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 179

The villagers heard Lu Jianguo and the others say that the children were missing, so they all came to the eldest house. Even Sheng Fei and Lu Ting came.

They said the children were missing and asked everyone to help look for them.

This kind of thing was a big deal, so everyone agreed to help.

Sheng Fei suddenly remembered that she had seen the two children heading towards the mountain earlier that day.

But she hesitated about whether to tell them.

If they misunderstood and thought she had kidnapped their children, wouldn’t that be disastrous?

After some thought, Sheng Fei decided not to say anything.

Xu Yuxia and Old Mrs. Lu followed the villagers and searched everywhere. Although Sheng Fei didn’t tell them where Jixiang and Ruyi were, she subtly guided Lu Ting towards the direction of the mountain.

Lu Ting suggested searching there, and Lu Jianguo agreed.

Several people headed there with torches.

Since Sheng Fei had hinted to Lu Ting earlier, he trusted her and went with her directly.

Lu Ting now had deep trust in Sheng Fei’s words, so he believed her that the children were likely just ahead.

Lu Jiefang was also at a loss. After all, his own children were missing. Even though he was a scoundrel, he couldn’t help but worry about the children.

So he followed along anxiously, unsure of where the children could have gone, feeling very distressed.

“I don’t know where Jixiang and Ruyi have run off to. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have been so harsh in punishing the children.”

When Xu Yuxia was beating Jixiang and Ruyi, Lu Jiefang was standing by watching, he did not stop her.

So Lu Jiefang felt that these two children must have held a grudge and secretly run away from home.

Now, where have these two children gone? He really feels uneasy about it.

But just now, Lu Jiefang heard Xu Yuxia say that the two children took away the vegetables from their home, so Lu Jiefang followed the villagers. They found the vegetable leaves that the two children had left behind on their way.

When the children left, those vegetable leaves seemed to have fallen on the ground in a straight line, making it very easy to find where they went.

So Lu Jiefang followed Lu Ting here.

He felt that Lu Ting’s choice might be right, but he didn’t know if those two children were okay now. After all, he hit those two children, and they really made him a bit worried.

“Brother, now talking about this is useless. The most important thing is to find them first.”

Although Lu Ting’s relationship with Lu Jiefang is a bit strained now, and they don’t seem to have much connection, but Lu Ting was not dissatisfied with those two children.

Those two children were actually innocent, so even if Lu Ting was angry, he couldn’t vent it on the two children.

Seeing Lu Jiefang so anxious, Lu Ting spoke stiffly to comfort him.

But he still spoke slowly. The other few people saw Lu Jiefang being so worried, so they also comforted him one after another.

After all, it was Lu Jiefang’s children who were missing, so they could understand Lu Jiefang’s feelings.

“Jiefang, don’t be in a hurry. Those two children are so obedient and cute, so they must be fine. Just calm down, maybe they’re just in front of us.

They are just mischievous children. When we find them later, you must not scold them anymore, you know?”

“That’s right, Eldest Lu. When we find them later, you must not scold them again. You must speak to them nicely. For children, you should speak to them nicely and not get so angry.

After all, they are just children. Children actually don’t know anything and they think simply. As long as you speak to them nicely, they will definitely listen to you.”

“To be honest, the kid in my house is about the same as yours. I just said a few words to him, and he directly played hide-and-seek with me.

You say, in the middle of the night, he directly hid under our bed, and I couldn’t find him no matter how I looked. My wife and I were both anxious. But later we still found him.

When we found him, I was so happy. From then on, I dared not hit him anymore. Children are children after all. Even if they are wrong, we adults should teach them properly and not just hit them randomly.”

“I understand, Uncle Zhang. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t hit them later. I’ll speak to them nicely.”

Now Lu Jiefang was only worried, how could he dare to continue hitting the children?

It’s just that he thought that those two children were so bold now, and he guessed that Xu Yuxia would be dissatisfied again.

Lu Jiefang felt that they were his children after all. Even if they were wrong, he should forgive them properly, so Lu Jiefang could only search slowly.

“Don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry. Maybe we can find them in front. Jiefang, it will be fine.”

Seeing that Lu Jiefang was anxious and seemed a bit unstable now, the few people slowly comforted Lu Jiefang, hoping that Lu Jiefang would not be so anxious.

After all, the more anxious you are, the more likely something will happen. It’s better to find them slowly.

Lu Jiefang could only listen patiently to the few people. He could only smile bitterly and nod.

He said that he definitely won’t be rough with the few children. When they saw Lu Jiefang like this, the few people all felt relieved.

“Everyone, don’t worry. I’m not in a hurry now, I’ll look for them slowly. Thank you all for helping me find the children. Jiefang will definitely remember this kindness.”

“Look at you saying these things. It’s just neighbors helping neighbors, and that’s what we should do. Don’t think of us as not part of the same village.”

“Yes, let’s not talk about this now. Let’s go find those two children first and see where they are now.”

Several people comforted Lu Jiefang one by one.

Lu Jiefang followed them with a heart full of worry. When they arrived in front, suddenly, Lu Jiefang seemed to see something stained on the ground.

He took a closer look and found that this thing on the ground looks just like the vegetable leaves from their home.

Just like the ones they had found in the courtyard at the beginning. Unexpectedly, there were still vegetable leaves from their home here.

“Everyone wait a minute. You see, this looks like the things the two children from our home dropped. Could they be just in front?”

Lu Jiefang happily called out to everyone, and everyone also stopped. They saw Lu Jiefang squatting down and picking up the vegetable leaves.

Although they didn’t know what this had to do with it, but since Lu Jiefang said so, there must be a reason. Lu Jiefang’s depressed expression suddenly became happy.

Lu Jiefang now believed that he would be able to find them soon. Unexpectedly they were still okay, which made him especially happy.
