Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 238

“Lu Chen, are you also here looking for something? I forgot my lunchbox. My mom initially prepared it for me, so I could bring some food tomorrow, but I left it behind. That’s why I’m back to get it now.

What are you doing? Are you playing a game? Let me join you, I can play games too, or are you doing something else?”

Little Chubby Girl had no idea that Lu Chen was picking up plastic bottles. She just blinked her big eyes at him, looking innocent.

Little Chubby Girl was quite fat due to her good family conditions, but recently she especially liked playing with Lu Chen.

She had wanted to play with him for a long time.

But back then, Lu Chen and Lu Ye were always together, looking shabby and in a bad mood, as if they had enmity with everyone.

Although Little Chubby Girl wanted to play with him, sometimes Lu Chen’s fierce gaze would scare her, and she didn’t dare approach him.

Recently, Lu Chen and Lu Ye had clearly become friendlier, and many kids wanted to be friends with them. Lu Chen and Lu Ye inherited Lu Yi’s handsome looks. Now that they were willing to make friends, the other kids were eager to show their sincerity and welcome Lu Chen.

As long as Lu Chen was willing to be friends, Little Chubby Girl was naturally happy about it.

“No, I’m picking up trash.”

“The teacher said the classroom is cleaned every day. Didn’t they already clean it today? Why are you still picking up trash? Are you going to clean the playground too? You really love cleanliness.”

Little Chubby Girl grinned, showing her teeth. She walked up to Lu Chen.

In some ways, Little Chubby Girl was similar to Lu Yang. Both of them had beautiful smiles.

Lu Chen didn’t expect Little Chubby Girl to misunderstand him. She thought he was picking up trash out of a love for cleanliness and wanting to tidy the classroom.

Only Lu Chen knew that he was collecting plastic bottles to exchange for money, so he simply stated his purpose.

He didn’t think it was something to be ashamed of. If Little Chubby Girl were to cut ties with him over this, he felt that she had no reason to play with him anyway. He didn’t need a female friend with such high vanity.

“Ah, you mean you’re picking up plastic bottles to sell for money.”

Little Chubby Girl was taken aback at first, then frowned.

She was holding her small backpack. When she was putting her lunchbox inside, her hand paused noticeably. After a moment, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“What plastic bottles? You can exchange them for money? I never knew that. Let’s pick them up together, I’ll help you.”

Little Chubby Girl thought Lu Chen was very clever for learning how to make money this way.

Lu Chen was surprised that Little Chubby Girl didn’t mind his actions at all. Instead, she was eager to help him pick up bottles.

Touched by the Little Chubby Girl’s gesture, Lu Chen smiled slightly.

He then explained to Little Chubby Girl that this bottle was worth a few cents, while that one was worth a bit more.

Since some bottles were larger, they could sell for more money. Following Lu Chen’s lead, Little Chubby Girl first picked up many plastic bottles from the playground and stuffed them into Lu Chen’s backpack, then walked around the outside of the classroom.

They walked home, picking up plastic bottles along the way.
