After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

Seeing the reinforcements Lu Junheng brought, Lin Shu had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​pursuing them.

Not wanting to clash with them, she picked up the bamboo basket from the ground, climbed over the low house, and left the courtyard.

When Lu Junheng and the villagers rushed over, they found the courtyard in complete disarray and chaos.

He searched around but couldn't find Lin Shu. He quickly ran towards the main house, shouting, "It's me, brother! Open the door!"

Inside the main room, Lu Zijing was gripping Lu Shiyuan on the bed with trepidation.

Upon hearing Lu Junheng's voice, Lu Zijin immediately got up and ran towards the door.

She opened the door and looked at Lu Junheng standing in the doorway. "Brother?"

"Are you and your father alright?" Lu Junheng asked him with concern.

Lu Zijing said with lingering fear, "It's nothing, just three people who broke in just now."

"That woman locked me in the house and then ran out. Later, I heard fighting in the yard, and then I don't know what happened next."

After hearing Lu Zijing's words, Lu Junheng assumed that Lin Shu had been taken away by those three people, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

They finally got rid of that woman.

Therefore, Lu Junheng reached out and led Lu Zijin out of the room, and solemnly bowed to the villagers who had rushed over.

"Dear uncles, aunts and grandfathers, thank you. Those three thugs didn't find anything valuable in our house and have already left. Thank you for your trouble."

Seeing this, Qi Tianshun looked at Lu Junheng and the other person with pity, "Silly children, what are you saying? As long as you are alright, we are relieved."

"By the way, where is your stepmother?" Qi Tianshun asked. The child had an accident, but the adults were nowhere to be found. It was really outrageous.

Lin Shu, he doesn't care at all.

Lu Junheng shook his head guiltily, "I don't know, I haven't seen anyone during the day."

"This Lin Shu is really unreliable. He used to beat and scold the children all the time when he was at home, and now he's just leaving them at home unattended," some villagers who couldn't stand it cursed.

"I've seen heartless people, but I've never seen anyone this heartless..."

Before the villagers could finish cursing Lin Shu, they saw him walk in from outside carrying a bamboo basket.

Lin Shu looked at the villagers standing in the courtyard and pretended to be puzzled. "Gentlemen, it's not appropriate for you to scold me in my own home."

Upon hearing her voice, Lu Junheng's eyes widened as if he were facing a ghost.

Why hasn't she been arrested yet?

Aunt Qi, never one to back down from a fight, immediately spoke up when she saw her return, "Madam Lu, do you know how dangerous it is to leave your child at home like that, with a thief in your house?"

Lin Shu pretended to be nervous as he looked at Lu Junheng, but his eyes held an undisguised amusement.

"Really? I didn't know. There was no food at home, so I was thinking of going to find something for the children."

As she spoke, she took the bamboo basket off her back, which contained a pheasant and some wild vegetables.

At this moment, everyone realized that they had misunderstood Lin Shu.

Aunt Qi smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Madam Lu, I didn't know you went to find something to eat."

Lin Shu wore a bitter smile and said, feigning grievance.

“I know you all mean well for the children. I’m used to it. After all, I’m not their biological mother. It’s normal for them to misunderstand me.”

"This was my oversight. I will be more careful next time and will never let this happen again."

To make the dramatic effect more realistic, Lin Shu even shed tears and his eyes reddened.

Upon seeing this, the villagers all wore embarrassed expressions.

After all, they had just insulted someone without even knowing the facts.

Qi Tianshun added, "Since it's all a misunderstanding, everyone should disperse."

As Lu Junheng watched Lin Shu deceive everyone, his heart sank to the bottom, and his whole body turned ice cold.

He knew that from then on, he would be left with no one to turn to for help.

This woman doesn't know how to deal with them, and she'll probably become even more ruthless than before.

Once the courtyard returned to quiet, Lu Junheng nervously shielded Lu Zijin behind him.

Lin Shu glanced at the two of them, tidied up the yard, and then carried the bamboo basket toward the brooding room.

After leaving the courtyard, she casually picked some wild vegetables on the mountain and took out a chicken from her spatial storage.

It wasn't simply to cover up the truth.

In the original owner's memory, this family had already reached the end of their rope.

Lin Shu's mother-in-law, Ji, went out to find food so that the children would have something to eat, and has not returned yet.

She quickly cleaned the vegetables and pheasant, then started a fire and set up a pot.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the courtyard.

Lu Junheng and Lu Zijin stayed in front of the main house, waiting for Lin Shu to come out and settle accounts with them.

To my surprise, I was greeted by a strong aroma of chicken.

The two couldn't help but swallow hard, their stomachs growling uncontrollably.

"Brother, what delicious food did that woman make?" Lu Zijing asked Lu Junheng.

Lu Junheng said with a grim face, "No matter what delicious food she makes, we can't eat it. She must have poisoned it to kill us."

As soon as Lu Junheng finished speaking, he saw Lin Shu come out carrying a steaming bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

The golden broth was topped with a few bright green scallions, which looked very tempting.

Lin Shu placed the chicken soup on the table, then turned and went into the shed to bring out the stir-fried wild vegetables.

Then he sat down and started eating by himself.

She didn't finish all the food; she ate a small portion to fill her stomach before getting up and leaving the table.

Lu Junheng and the other man looked at the chicken soup and wild vegetables she had left on the table and swallowed hard again.

They hadn't eaten in a long time and were starving, but they wouldn't dare eat the woman's food even if you begged them to.

Just as Lu Junheng resolutely looked away from the table, Lu Zijing couldn't help but move.

"Brother, I saw her eat it just now, it shouldn't be poisonous, should we eat it?"

“No, what if she took the antidote beforehand?” Lu Junheng said stubbornly.

Lu Zijing looked at him with a pitiful expression, "But I'm really hungry. Maybe I'll just eat a little bit."

Lu Junheng was also very hungry. No matter how big he was, he was still just an eight or nine-year-old child.

“Then we’ll just eat a little bit,” he said, and led Lu Zijing toward the table.

Following the direction Lin Shu was eating, I carefully picked up the food with my chopsticks and started eating.

However, they underestimated the allure of the food. They had only planned to eat a little bit, but once they started eating, they couldn't stop.

The two of them only stopped eating, satisfied, after finishing all the chicken and wild vegetables on the table.

Lin Shu had been watching them closely, and seeing them finish their meal with lingering enjoyment, he silently curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Are you full? If you are, go boil some hot water so I can wipe your father's body."

Lin Shu's sudden voice immediately startled Lu Junheng and Lu Zijin.

He stood up from the table in alarm, staring at her with a tense expression.

"What...what is your purpose?"

Lin Shu rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I have no interest in settling scores with you."
