Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 206

Lu Chen’s actions were unknown to Lu Yang.

Lu Chen counted, he had collected all the empty bottles and put them in his backpack. He had just picked up twelve of them.

The other three people didn’t understand what Lu Chen was doing. What was going on with Lu Chen?

They found it a bit puzzling that he was picking up these empty bottles.

“Brother, what are you picking up those empty bottles for? Are you making some kind of handicraft? Or is there a handwork class?”

“Yeah, big brother, those bottles have been used by others. They’re kind of dirty. If you want to drink soda, just tell Auntie. And now that you can earn money yourself, if you want to drink soda, it’s not that much trouble to just buy it directly.”

But Lu Chen didn’t say anything. He just shook his head silently at them, appearing very mysterious.

Seeing Lu Chen act so mysteriously, the others were also puzzled.

Lu Yang shook her head, indicating that she didn’t quite understand Lu Chen’s behavior. So the few of them just quietly followed Lu Chen back.

Lu Chen had recently realized that collecting bottles could earn him money, so now every time after school, he would collect all the bottles and put them in his backpack.

Sometimes when others had leftovers and threw them away, Lu Chen would also pick them up for himself.

Lately, Lu Chen no longer went to school with his younger siblings. He would go to school earlier and come back later every day, making it all very mysterious.

Lu Yang and the second brother were the most curious, but since Lu Chen was already grown up, they didn’t question him much.

Lu Yang just complained a bit to Sheng Fei.

“Auntie, lately brother doesn’t go to school and come back with us anymore.”

Lu Yang pouted as she told on Lu Chen to Sheng Fei.

Sheng Fei paused when she was serving the dishes.

Sheng Fei herself didn’t notice it because she also had been coming back late recently, so she didn’t know the children weren’t going home together anymore. She thought they still went together as usual.

Sheng Fei looked at Lu Chen.

“Oh, you all don’t go back together? I thought you still went home together. But it’s okay even if you don’t, the eldest child is not that young anymore, he must have his own little secrets, right? Even if you don’t want to go home with your younger siblings, that’s understandable.”

Sheng Fei wouldn’t interfere with the private lives of these children.

Because these children had shown extraordinary talents from a young age, if Sheng Fei’s interference were to hamper their talents, she would regret it.

So Sheng Fei didn’t intervene in what Lu Chen was doing.

Lu Chen moved his little head, appearing very smug.

“Did you hear that, third sister? Even Auntie doesn’t care what I do, so these days I can do whatever I want freely. I won’t tell you.”

“Auntie, how can you not care about big brother? What if he has some secret he’s hiding from you?”

Lu Yang blinked at Sheng Fei, tattling on Lu Chen’s misdeeds.

Sheng Fei found the interactions between these children to be really entertaining, especially Lu Yang, who always said surprising things. She didn’t know what kind of mindset Lu Yang had, but children are probably all like this.

“Eldest brother, you can do whatever you want. As long as it’s not dangerous, I’ll support you. You don’t have to hide it from me. You can do it together with the others.”
