Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 266

These days, Sheng Fei has been unable to keep an eye on Lu Da.

Lu Da has either been collecting plastic bottles or beer bottles. These plastic and beer bottles can be exchanged for a bit of money, but it’s still small change, so Sheng Fei didn’t take it seriously.

However, some of the garbage is quite dirty, so Sheng Fei prepared a pair of gloves for Lu Da. If he goes through the trash, he should wear the gloves and wash his hands frequently when he gets home.

Lu Da completely obeyed Sheng Fei’s instructions.

After Lu Da finished collecting the plastic bottles, he thought that since bottles could be sold for money, then cardboard boxes could be collected as well. So after school, while his younger siblings ran out to play, he stayed near home and began collecting cardboard boxes.

In addition to the cardboard boxes, he found other items too.

Lu Da seemed very enthusiastic. He didn’t find these tasks unpleasant at all. Instead, he felt a strong sense of achievement.

Sometimes when Lu Da saw cardboard boxes used by neighbors, he would ask them for their boxes.

And the neighbors would gladly give them to Lu Da.

While Lu Da was busy collecting cardboard boxes, Lu Er saw that Sheng Fei was busy in the kitchen and asked if she needed any help.

“Auntie, Brother is out collecting garbage again. Is there anything I can help you with? I also want to help.”

“If you want to help, then how about you and Lu Sanya go collect some firewood? We’re running low of firewood.”

“You mean firewood for cooking? Sure, we’ll go down the hill and collect some.”

“Just remember not to wander too far. You’re both still too young, and don’t take too much. Just collect a little.”

Sheng Fei advised Lu Er and Lu Sanya, knowing that they wanted to help too.

But being just children, they couldn’t help much, so she could only instruct something like this to them.

Lu Er understood that they couldn’t help much, so when he pulled Lu Sanya along to collect firewood at the foot of the mountain, she agreed immediately.

From the time they saw Lu Da earning money, the two children wanted to contribute as well.

However, Lu Sanya thought that collecting garbage was too unpleasant and dirty. Besides, Lu Da had already collected most of the useful items, so she thought it would be better to come up with another idea.

The two of them held hands and went outside to collect firewood, while Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu ran off to play with the older kids.

Lately, things have been going well, and Sheng Fei couldn’t be happier.

It seemed that raising these children was indeed the right choice.

Sheng Fei was busy in the kitchen. She was preparing to boil some hot water and heat the furniture and kitchenware to kill bacteria and tidy up the house, so she didn’t attend to the children.

About two hours later, Lu Da and Lu Er returned one after the other.

Lu Da was carrying a stack of cardboard boxes, and Lu Er had a small bundle of firewood in his arms.

Seeing their slow pace, Sheng Fei smiled but didn’t scold them.

However, noticing that Lu Sanya wasn’t following behind Lu Er, Sheng Fei furrowed her brow in confusion. Where could Lu Sanya be?

“Eldest, Second, have you seen Sanya? I thought she went out with you to collect firewood. Why isn’t she with you now that you’re back?”
