Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 208

Lu Chen was very satisfied.

The money he earned felt good when he spent it.

On the way back, Lu Chen bought a few delicious pastries, saying he wanted to bring them back for Sheng Fei to try.

Since it was the weekend, Sheng Fei didn’t get up that early, and even the few children didn’t get up that early.

When Lu Chen returned, Sheng Fei had just finished making breakfast. When she saw Lu Chen come in from outside, Sheng Fei was momentarily stunned.

“Eldest brother, were you just out?”

“Yes, Auntie, I just went to the county.”

“How did you go by yourself? The county has a lot of cars and people, are you okay?”

Sheng Fei was startled, not expecting Lu Chen to be so bold as to go to the county alone.

Lu Chen wasn’t afraid, but Sheng Fei was extremely frightened.

Fearing that Lu Chen had encountered some danger, Sheng Fei looked up and down at him.

“Were you hurt? How could you go to the county alone? Don’t you know there are a lot of cars in the shop? If you get hurt, what am I going to do? That’s so mischievous of you. You can’t be this mischievous anymore, you know? You really scared me.”

Sheng Fei felt scared, but seeing that Lu Chen was fine, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Auntie, I want to tell you a little secret.”

“Okay, tell me. Since you went to the county alone, I’ll have talk to your uncle later, let him keep an eye on you. I can’t control you anymore. Look at how capable you are now, going alone, that’s very dangerous.”

“Then I will tell it you, but don’t tell uncle, okay?”

“You little rascal, you really are quite cunning. Alright, tell me, I won’t tell your uncle. But if what you say doesn’t satisfy me, I’ll pinch you. I’ll pinch your little butt, you know?”

“Actually, these past few days I’ve been going out early and coming back late and not with them because I’ve been collecting empty bottles and some scraps.”

“What are you collecting scraps for?”

Sheng Fei’s first reaction was that Lu Chen was just being playful, but Lu Chen wasn’t that kind of person. Could it be that Lu Chen wanted to drink soda?

She didn’t consider herself a stingy person. If Lu Chen wanted to drink, Sheng Fei wouldn’t stop him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen shook his head. He unzipped his small backpack and took out a package wrapped in oil paper.

Sheng Fei opened it and found it was a few pastries.

Just the aroma was mouthwatering and they were strawberry flavored.

“Where did you get these?”

“Auntie, I bought these myself. I didn’t use the pocket money you gave me. I used the money I just earned to buy these for you.

The reason I’ve been collecting those empty bottles these days is to exchange them for money. Last time, I heard one of my classmate’s mom say that you can earn money by collecting empty bottles, so I thought if they can, I can too. So I went to the county just to sell the empty bottles.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s innocent tone say such touching words, Sheng Fei was moved.

Sheng Fei’s eyes were wide open, and she was a bit surprised.

So he collected the empty bottles in order to earn money, this Lu Chen is really so warm-hearted.

“So you collected the empty bottles just to exchange for money and then used that money to buy these pastries for me? How did you know I’ve been liking these kinds of pastries recently?”
