Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 59 Scholar Liu Mingyuan

After the boss left, the family continued eating.

Lin Qingshan couldn't help but praise him happily:

"Qingqing, your father is so happy for you."

I never knew you had such abilities.

"If it weren't for you, who knows how much worse this would have become today!"

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Father, you flatter me. It was just a coincidence that I happened to be there."

It's all so easy, why not do it?

Lin Erzhu also said happily:

"Dad, did you hear that? The boss said he'd give us food for free."

"We definitely made the right choice coming here today."

Lin Qingshan replied with a smile:

"I heard it, I heard it, I'm really benefiting from Qingqing's fame."

Lin Yunlan also smiled and said:

"Qingqing has always been kind-hearted, and this is the blessing she deserves."

Lin Qingshan nodded:

"Well, but if this kind of thing happens again in the future..."

Be careful and cautious, and don't put yourself in danger.

Lu Qingqing obediently replied, "Father, I understand."

Before leaving, the owner, Wang Fuhai, had two more roast chickens packed up for Lu Qingqing to take with her.

Lu Qingqing couldn't refuse, so she thanked her and accepted the gift.

Thinking to myself: It's perfect to take this back for my second sister-in-law and the children to eat.

As soon as Lu Qingqing stepped out of the restaurant, she saw the young man she had just treated.

The young man immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in thanks, and said:

"My name is Liu Mingyuan. I am deeply grateful to my benefactor for saving my life."

"If it weren't for my benefactor's timely intervention, I fear I would be in grave danger today."

Lu Qingqing replied:

"The poison you suffered from has been neutralized, and your body is now much better."

Remember to get some rest for two days when you get back.

Liu Mingyuan replied, "Thank you, benefactor. I will remember this."

Seeing his dejected look, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but comfort him:

"I just overheard someone say you're a scholar."

Since you were able to pass the imperial examination and become a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), it shows that you have certain talents and abilities.

Don't wallow in self-pity because of temporary difficulties. As long as you persevere,

Keep studying hard, and achieving academic success in the future is not out of reach.

Young master, let me offer you a piece of advice: instead of lamenting the passing of spring and the coming of autumn, strive to improve yourself.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyuan felt as if he had been awakened from a dream.

His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"Thank you for your guidance, my benefactor. May I ask your honorable name?"

If I achieve success and fame in the future, I will definitely visit you in person to express my gratitude.

Lu Qingqing waved her hand and said:

"Young master, you needn't be so polite. My name is Lu Qingqing."

If you work hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future.

The young man nodded solemnly:

“Miss Lu, I have remembered your words. I will definitely work hard to pass the imperial examination.”

Lin Qingshan said from the side:

"Son, study hard and make something of yourself."

Liu Mingyuan nodded, bowed again in thanks, and then left.

Lin Erzhu leaned closer:

"Qingqing, what you said was really good."

Perhaps this scholar really can amount to something.

Lu Qingqing smiled:

"I hope so, I hope he can pull himself together."

Lin Yunlan said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go home."

The family then rode in an oxcart, slowly making their way home.

As soon as I got home, several children and two wolf cubs surrounded me.

Wang Xiuxiu put down her work and helped move the things.

Wang Xiuxiu exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the huge pile of grain:

"My God, why did we buy so much grain?"

Lu Qingqing said as she moved the things:

"We're going to build a house soon, so we prepared extra."

The two then worked together to carry the grain into the kitchen, one trip at a time.

The father and his two sons were responsible for putting the timber into the yard.

After all the grain had been stored away, Lu Qingqing took out the two roast chickens that Quan Fuhai had given her and said:

"Sister-in-law, this is a roast chicken I brought for you."

You're going to eat with Da Ya, Er Ya, and the other kids.

Wang Xiuxiu quickly waved her hand:

"That won't do. You've been working hard all day, this roast chicken is for you."

Lu Qingqing held Wang Xiuxiu's hand and said sincerely:

"Sister-in-law, we're all family, don't be so polite with me."

We ate very well outside today.

This roast chicken was specially brought for you and the children, so they can try it too.

Wang Xiuxiu said emotionally:

"Qingqing, you're always so thoughtful. Your sister-in-law is in for a treat today."

Just then, Daya and Erya ran over, their eyes fixed on the roast chicken.

Lu Qingqing smiled and patted their heads:

"Da Ya, Er Ya, go and eat roast chicken with your mother."

Daya whispered, "Thank you, Auntie."

Er Ya echoed, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lu Qingqing said, "Be good, go quickly."

Wang Xiuxiu led the children into the house carrying roast chicken.

The six children immediately surrounded them.

Wang Xiuxiu smiled and distributed the big and small chicken legs to Shuang'er, Sanmao, Shitou, and Ermao.

Shuang'er said sensibly:

"Second Aunt, I'll give my chicken leg to my sister."

Sanmao also said:

"Yes, give it to my sister."

Daya and Erya immediately said:

"Little brother and sister, you eat."

Wang Xiuxiu was deeply moved as she watched the children politely offering to each other.

She said:

"The children are so well-behaved."

Shuang'er immediately replied:

"Second Aunt, it's because we've all learned the story of Kong Rong sharing pears."

Daya and Erya nodded and said:

"Yes, Mother, we also learned from Kong Rong sharing pears. Uncle and Aunt taught us."

The few of us usually study together.

Wang Xiuxiu was deeply moved; she hadn't realized that...

The third son and his wife dote on their two daughters so much.

It was only at this moment that she realized that Daya and Erya often came here to learn.

Then she smiled and tore off some chicken, handing it to Daya and Erya.

“Come on, Da Ya and Er Ya, eat too.”

Da Ya and Er Ya took the chicken and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Mother."

The children sat together, happily eating roast chicken.

With her mouth full of chicken, Shuang'er mumbled indistinctly:

"Second Aunt, this roast chicken is delicious, you should eat some too."

Stone nodded in agreement and said:

"Second Aunt, please try it!"

Tears welled up in Wang Xiuxiu's eyes.

"Alright, Second Aunt, you should try some too."

The children laughed, grabbed their chickens, and ran out into the yard.

Wang Xiuxiu called out worriedly:

"Slow down, everyone, don't fall. You can play after you finish eating."

Looking at the children's happy and content faces, Wang Xiuxiu felt a warmth in her heart.

At the same time, I am sincerely grateful to the third son and his wife.

The father and his two sons carried all the timber into the yard.

Lu Qingqing quickly picked up a broom and cleaned the village chief's oxcart.

As a token of her gratitude, she added some hay from her own oxcart.

Then he told Lin Yunlan to rest for a while before going to the village chief's house to return it.

Several children were running around the yard with chicken in their hands. Stone asked:

"Father, why are there two oxcarts?"

Lin Yunlan said with a smile:

"This one belongs to the village chief, and the other one belongs to our family."

Stone was somewhat surprised. He pointed at the yellow ox in disbelief and asked:

"Father, you said this is our family's oxcart, will it stay with our family from now on?"

Lin Yunlan nodded in agreement.

Stone cheered with joy, and the other children joined in the celebration.

Stone ran to the oxcart, examined the ox, and said earnestly:

"I will feed you more hay and feed you more so that you can grow strong and healthy."

At this moment, Sanmao also ran over, clapping her little hands and saying:

"Me too, me too, I'll help too."

Shuang'er and Er Mao were not to be outdone, and they shouted in unison:

"We need to feed the cows too."

Daya and Erya watched their younger siblings' excited expressions and said with a smile:

"We can help too."

Lin Qingshan felt a deep sense of satisfaction seeing the children's happy faces.

She said, "Who would have thought that our family's life would get better and better?"

"This is all thanks to Qingqing!"

The children jumped and danced around the oxcart, their laughter echoing in the yard.

Lin Yunlan looked at the harmonious and happy family.

He smiled and went to the village chief's house to return the oxcart.
