Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 304

This is her grandson. She can decide what to dress him in and what to feed him. But this Xu Yuxia constantly opposed her. After being confronted by Xu Yuxia once or twice, the old lady became irritable, and now she openly argued with Xu Yuxia.

“I don’t have any. Our family has Jiefang too, and Jiefang is my husband. His money is my money, right? Besides, it’s just a can of milk powder. What’s there to fuss about?

Alright, it’s already been eaten. We’ve all had dinner. If there’s nothing else, let’s just go to bed. The rain is really heavy.”

Xu Yuxia didn’t take this seriously at all. She retorted back to Old Mrs. Lu and prepared to leave in boredom.

The old lady was infuriated by Xu Yuxia’s indifferent attitude.

She didn’t realize she had spoken to Xu Yuxia like this before, which had also angered Xu Yuxia at the time.

However, now Old Mrs. Lu’s behavior only made Xu Yuxia feel more helpless.

“Every day all you say is Jiefang, Jiefang. He is my son. Even if he married you, he can’t forget his mother. He is still my son. The money he earns should, of course, go to me. Why should it go to you?

I worked so hard to raise my son, and I took care of Jixiang and Ruyi. Is this how you repay me? How do you talk to me? Jiefang, come here and say something!”

Old Mrs. Lu particularly disliked Xu Yuxia’s constant words that Lu Jiefang was her husband.

Because Old Mrs. Lu was inherently possessive.

Old Mrs. Lu was concerned about everything, from small things like flowers and plants to the placement of furniture.

Moreover, Lu Jiefang was raised by Old Mrs. Lu herself. She had put in a lot of effort to have him. Although she later had Lu Yi and Lu Ting, those pregnancies were unplanned due to inadequate precautions.

After having the children, she didn’t dare to abort because it was bad for her health, so she simply gave birth.

For Old Mrs. Lu, she had invested so much effort in Lu Jiefang. She could not accept that someone else could take her fruit away.

Thus, she sighed heavily when faced with Xu Yuxia.

Xu Yuxia came into this family to compete for her son, which made her despise Xu Yuxia even more. She wouldn’t allow Xu Yuxia to get close to the children.

“Mom, that’s an old-fashioned way of thinking. Besides, now that Jiefang has married me, he is my husband, and his earnings should be spent by me.

I’m saying that from now on, Jiefang’s money doesn’t need to go to you anymore. This is our couple’s money. Why do you have to interfere and take it away? This is our joint property as a husband and wife. You can’t be so willful about this.

So, from now on, we’ll keep our money to ourselves. If you need money, just let me know, and I’ll have Jiefang give you some.

But Jiefang’s earnings can no longer be used to pay for your living expenses. I will take care of the household expenses from now on. I’ll cover your living expenses in the future.”

Xu Yuxia had long wanted to manage the family expenses, but Old Mrs. Lu had always controlled the household budget. Even if Xu Yuxia wanted to take charge, she had no way to do so.

Previously, all the earnings from Lu Yi, Lu Ting, Lu Jiefang, and Lu Jianguo were given to Old Mrs. Lu, who held the family’s financial power. After the family separated, Lu Jiefang lived with Old Mrs. Lu and only needed to give her his own earnings.
