Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 239

Xiǎo Pàng Yā– Little Chubby/Fat Girl

Since Little Chubby Girl’s home was right next to Lu Chen’s, the two children could sometimes walk home together.

However, Lu Chen usually went home with Lu Ye and the others, so Little Chubby Girl rarely had the chance to walk with him.

Now that she could walk home with Lu Chen and do something so fun, Little Chubby Girl was extremely happy.

“Look, look, I’ve picked up five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten bottles. Isn’t that impressive? You haven’t picked up as many as I have. I’m much better than you. Now, shouldn’t you compliment me? I’m quite amazing, aren’t I?”

After finishing collecting the bottles, she handed them to Lu Chen while boasting about her accomplishments, saying how capable she was.

Lu Chen knew Little Chubby Girl wanted him to compliment her, so he generously complimented her sharp eyesight.

There were some places that he hadn’t even noticed, but she had.

“You have such sharp eyes. You can find bottles in places I missed.”

“My mom says eating carrots is good for the eyes. She often makes me eat them. Maybe I should bring some for you too.”

“That’s not so good. Those are prepared for you by your mom.”

“We’re friends now. Friends don’t worry about what’s mine or yours. No need to be polite. Tomorrow, when I bring my lunch, I’ll bring you some carrots too.”

Little Chubby Girl boldly expressed her thoughts without waiting for Lu Chen to say no.

When she reached the fork in the road, she handed all the bottles to Lu Chen and waved goodbye, saying see you at school tomorrow.

Lu Chen smiled and said he would see her tomorrow.

Little Chubby Girl was very happy to have done something with Lu Chen today.

After finishing this, she was in high spirits. She bounced on her way home.

When she got home, Little Chubby Girl was late because she had been collecting plastic bottles with Lu Chen.

Her parents asked her why she was so late.

Little Chubby Girl excitedly shared her experience of picking up plastic bottles with Lu Chen, thinking her parents would praise her. To her surprise, they scolded her instead.

Her mother was very angry and frowned deeply.

“You’re not allowed to play with Lu Chen anymore. Who do you think you are, and who do you think he is? Are you not afraid he’ll lead you astray if you continue playing with him?

Someone like him doesn’t deserve to play with you. Don’t go looking for him again. Look at him, he’s always picking up plastic bottles. Do you know why he does that?

Because his family is poor. They don’t have money, which is why he has to collect bottles. We don’t lack food or clothes, so why would you do that?

Do you know how embarrassing that is? If others find out, do you know how they’ll mock us? Okay, from now on, you’re not allowed to play with him. If I find out you’re still playing with him, I’ll beat you.”

Little Chubby Girl’s mother scolded her harshly.

This time, her father, who usually doted on her, stood on her mother’s side and criticized her as well.

Even her father didn’t support her, saying that playing with Lu Chen would lead nowhere.

He believed children like Lu Chen deserved to spend their lives working in the fields, herding animals and growing up to be farmers.
