Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 203

Xu Yuxia purposely left a bowl of meat, waiting for the time when Old Mrs. Lu was not around to secretly give it to Jixiang and Ruyi to eat.

This time, Jixiang and Ruyi was not angry, but obediently finished their dinner.

After they finished their dinner, Xu Yuxia called Jixiang and Ruyi over and handed them a small bowl of meat.

She said this was what she had saved for herself. Jixiang and Ruyi exchanged a glance.

They had already eaten their fill of meat, so Lu Jixiang did not want to eat it, and Lu Ruyi did not want to eat it either.

Lu Ruyi was not as smart as Lu Jixiang. He was just about to say he had already eaten, when Lu Jixiang covered his brother’s mouth, then curved his lips and told Xu Yuxia.

“Mom, I think you’re right. My brother and I were wrong, so this time we’re willing to punish ourselves. We won’t eat it, you and dad can have it.

You two eat it. If grandma finds out you secretly saved meat for us, she’ll definitely get angry at you. We don’t want grandpa and grandma to get angry at you.”

Hearing the words Lu Jixiang was saying, so nice and heartwarming, Lu Ruyi secretly gave him a thumbs up.

His brother was so smart, so Lu Ruyi also put the bowl of meat back into Xu Yuxia’s hand and said like his brother.

“Yes, mom, you can just eat this meat yourself. My brother and I did something wrong. Since we did something wrong, then we should be punished.

Our teacher also said that being able to correct mistakes is a good child, so we’re punishing ourselves. We won’t eat it. Mom, you eat it yourself, remember to eat it with dad. We two don’t need to eat it, this is the punishment we should receive.”

Jixiang and Ruyi refused the temptation of the delicious food and directly pushed Xu Yuxia away.

The two little brothers obediently spread out the bedding, preparing to undress and go to sleep.

Xu Yuxia suddenly saw the two children so obedient and well-behaved, not even craving the meat and saying that they knew they were wrong. She was so moved that she covered her mouth.

If these two children had argued with her, perhaps Xu Yuxia would have been annoyed and not let them eat.

But unexpectedly, the two children were so sensible. Xu Yuxia insisted they eat, but Jixiang and Ruyi were even more insistent.

In the end, Xu Yuxia ate the bowl of meat herself.

Although Xu Yuxia ate the meat, her fondness for Jixiang and Ruyi increased even more.

Obviously, her own children were still closer to her. Recently, Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Jianguo had not been good to them, but these two children knew they were wrong and also knew she, their mother, was caring.

Xu Yuxia was especially moved. The next day when cooking breakfast, Xu Yuxia made it particularly rich and then urged Jixiang and Ruyi to eat more.

After Lu Jixiang and Lu Ruyi finished eating, they held hands and skipped off to school.

Seeing Jixiang and Ruyi being obedient and sensible these past few days, and was closer to her than the grandparents, Xu Yuxia felt that she had won.

On the way to school, Lu Ruyi tilted his head and grinned mischievously.

“Brother, I almost couldn’t hold back yesterday. I almost admitted we had stolen the food. But I didn’t expect you would say it that way, and after you said it, not only did mom not punish us, she even wanted us to eat the meat.

I think you’re really amazing, brother. You have your own ideas, but I didn’t have any ideas. If it were me, I probably would have blurted everything out.”
