Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 207

“But no matter what you do, you must protect yourself well and not let yourself get hurt, understand?

Whatever you’re doing now, I won’t interfere, but you absolutely cannot let yourself get hurt. If you have any doubts, just tell me, and I’ll be sure to take care of it for you.

The only thing is, you absolutely cannot let yourself get hurt. That’s my only request. You’ve always been the one who doesn’t let me feel easy.”

Sheng Fei gently tapped Lu Chen’s brow, and Lu Chen obediently nodded.

These days, Lu Chen didn’t walk with the other children, but went about on his own.

After parting ways with them, he collected many more bottles and took the black fertilizer bag he had gathered in to the county.

He wanted to exchange these bottles for money. Because Lu Chen had previously asked about the price per bottle, after collecting so many, he headed straight for the county recycling station.

While everyone was still sleeping in the morning, Lu Chen had already snuck out, and even Sheng Fei didn’t know where he had gone.

Lu Chen had a small backpack on his back and was carrying a fertilizer bag that was bigger than his own body.

When the recycling boss saw Lu Chen, he was momentarily taken aback by the sight.

He paused for a few seconds, then heard Lu Chen say he had come to sell empty bottles, and the boss looked at Lu Chen with some disbelief.

What was wrong with this child’s family? Were they mistreating their child like this? This kid was so small, yet they were letting him come sell things.

“What do you have to sell? This is a recycling place, you know.”

“I have a lot of empty bottles here, all collected by myself.”

Lu Chen’s little expression was especially cute.

Seeing such a small child trying to earn money, the recycling boss felt somewhat displeased with Lu Chen’s family.

“These are all bottles you collected yourself? Are your parents really that bad to you? They’re actually letting you come sell scraps.”

“No, this was my own idea. I feel like they work so hard to earn money, so I want to try to earn some too. It has nothing to do with them. I’m just here to sell these empty bottles to you. Take a look and see how much each one is worth. Next time I collect more, I’ll sell them to you again.”

The recycling boss bargained with Lu Chen, but still gave him a fairly honest price. In the end, these bottles were sold for a total of 1.5 yuan.

This was already a very reasonable price.

Because Lu Chen had previously asked around and knew that the prices here were relatively fair, he directly sold the empty bottles to the boss.

Seeing Lu Chen leave with his small backpack and behaving so obediently, the boss shook his head, extremely dissatisfied with the boy’s parents’ actions.

Even if they were poor, they shouldn’t be letting a child come to the county town alone like this.

A child going out on their own was quite dangerous.

Did these parents have no sense of safety at all?

Lu Chen didn’t know the boss’s concerns. He only knew that he had now memorized the route and could walk far distances.

Moreover, Lu Chen had already remembered how to get to the county town, and in the future he would collect more empty bottles to sell.

As long as he sold the money well, he could still help relieve some of Sheng Fei’s burdens.

Because Sheng Fei worked so hard to earn money every day, Lu Chen also understood Sheng Fei’s hardships.

And Lu Chen especially liked this feeling of earning his own money. He felt it was a super great experience, like he was living a different kind of life.
