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

Lu Junheng seemed a little uncomfortable facing Lin Shu, but he did not back down.

Instead, she stammered, "I... is there anything I can do to help?"

Lin Shu glanced at her, who seemed uncomfortable, and then at the unwashed vegetables beside her. "Then you can help wash the vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Lu Junheng was overjoyed and strode towards the brooding room.

When he walked behind Lin Shu, he saw that the corner of the corn cob was piled with items—rice, flour, and various vegetables, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

He remembered that Lin Shu didn't have any money on him; the only money in the family was with him.

Where did she get these things from?

"you……"

Just as Lu Junheng was about to ask a question, he heard Lin Shu's voice.

"This morning I went up the mountain to hunt a few pheasants and took them to town to sell. I bought all these things with the money from selling the pheasants."

Lu Junheng looked at Lin Shu in surprise, never expecting that she could hunt.

No wonder she didn't want her money last night; she already had a plan in mind.

He watched Lin Shu's busy figure, lowered his eyelids, and concealed the contemplation in his eyes.

Perhaps Lin Shu was telling the truth; she really didn't intend to settle scores with them.

This realization put him at ease, and his tense expression relaxed.

Lu Junheng quickly picked up the vegetables and carefully washed them with clean water.

Lin Shu cut the meat, marinated the pork until it was flavorful, and then began to prepare the stir-fry.

She had a lot of dishes to make today: a plate of tempting golden-yellow braised pork, a plate of tangy and spicy stir-fried cabbage, and a pot of delicious fish soup.

Seeing the three dishes that Lin Shu produced as if by magic, Lu Junheng and Lu Zijin swallowed hard, completely losing their composure.

Lin Shu chuckled and urged, "Alright, let's put the dishes on the table outside first, and we can eat when your grandma comes back."

Fortunately, Lady Ji did not keep them waiting long. Just as the three of them put the dishes on the table, they saw Lady Ji return with the wild vegetables she had found.

Lu Junheng quickly put down his bowl of food and went to help Ji Shi, while Lin Shu went back to the kitchen and brought out steaming hot rice.

Upon seeing Madam Ji, Lu Junheng told her about Lin Shu, "Grandma, my stepmother is back, and she bought a lot of food."

Madam Ji paused, stunned. "Where...where did she get the money?"

Last night, Lu Junheng told her that Lin Shu did not want his money.

“She went hunting in the mountains this morning and caught some pheasants to sell in town,” Lu Junheng explained.

After hearing this, Lady Ji sighed softly and handed the wild vegetables in her hand to Lu Junheng.

"Junheng, she probably didn't catch many pheasants. Let's give her fifty coins."

"Since she is willing to live a good life with us, we can't keep it from her."

“Okay,” Lu Junheng thought so too.

The two returned to the table and sat down. Lin Shu placed the bowl of rice in front of Ji Shi and said, "Mother-in-law, eat."

Ji paused for a moment, then awkwardly said, "Thank you."

Lin Shu then served the rice to the two little ones one by one.

Just before the group started eating, Lu Junheng glanced at Lin Shu apologetically.

She ladled out a bowl of fish soup and prepared to feed it to Lu Junheng.

"You guys eat first, I'll go feed Daddy."

Lin Shu had anticipated this long ago; otherwise, Lu Shiyuan wouldn't be alive today.

"Save the fish soup for later. I'll change his medicine first before feeding him."

One sentence changed the expressions of the three members of the Ji family.

They hadn't expected Lin Shu to have already thought this through, and their eyes unconsciously showed more goodwill towards him.

Lu Zijin's behavior was even more obvious; he dragged his small stool and sat directly next to Lin Shu.

"Stepmother, you are so kind."

"You've got a sweet tongue, kid," Lin Shu said with a smile, placing a piece of braised pork on her plate.

The other two also laughed.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became more relaxed as a result.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Lu Junheng took out some money again and handed it to Lin Shu, saying, "Stepmother, this is for you. You are in charge of all the household expenses now, so this money should also be under your management."

Lin Shu stopped eating and looked at him seriously. "I know you're worried, but I have enough for now. You can save this money for now, and I'll ask you for more when I need it."

Lin Shu's lack of refusal moved Lu Junheng, and even Ji Shi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

Finally, unable to contain himself, he put down his chopsticks and said to Lin Shu with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Lin Shu."

“Grandma, we’re family, aren’t we?” Lin Shu put a piece of meat in each of their bowls.

Once things were out in the open, everyone's mindset changed, and even the atmosphere at the meal became much more harmonious.

After the meal, Lu Junheng was in charge of clearing away the dishes, while Lin Shu picked up the small medicine box and headed towards Lu Shiyuan's room.

Lu Zijin, that little shadow, followed Lin Shu closely, never leaving his side.

While Lin Shu was changing Lu Shiyuan's wounds, he saw that Lu Shiyuan was alright and gave him something to do.

He was made to play the role that Lu Junheng had played last time.

After the previous treatment, Lu Shiyuan's wound did not worsen.

Meanwhile, new flesh began to grow from the surrounding wounds under the healing power of the spiritual spring.

After Lin Shu changed the dressing, he asked Lu Zijing to fetch hot water so he could wash Lu Shiyuan's entire body.

To prevent his muscles from atrophying and his functions from deteriorating, Lin Shu, along with Xiao Weiba, massaged Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Junheng, who came in next, asked with some curiosity, "What are you doing?"

"Do some functional exercises for your father, so he won't be unable to move after he wakes up," Lin Shu explained.

Lu Junheng seemed to understand, but he was willing to do anything that was good for Lu Shiyuan, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

"Then I'll go with you."

“Okay, not just today, we’ll do it for him twice a day, morning and evening, and at noon we can take him out to the yard to sunbathe.”

As Ji listened, a long-lost warm smile blossomed on her face.

How long has it been since they've enjoyed such a joyful atmosphere? They wish it could last forever.

After Lin Shu changed Lu Shiyuan's dressing and finished his rehabilitation exercises, he got up and went into the burial room, bringing in the fish soup he had prepared earlier.

Lu Junheng had been feeding Lu Junheng for a long time, so he was naturally more familiar with him than Lin Shu.

Lin Shu didn't argue with him, and while Lu Junheng wasn't paying attention, he put some spiritual spring water in.

After today, her spiritual spring gradually increased; before it was only one or two spoonfuls, now it's almost half a bowl.

After feeding Lu Shiyuan, Lin Shu prepared to leave the room.

She had only taken a few steps when she heard Lu Junheng ask from behind, "Stepmother, are you going to town tomorrow?"

Lin Shu stopped and turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"

“Can I come with you? I’m the man of the house, and I should take on some of the responsibilities,” Lu Junheng said.

Seeing this, Lin Shu nodded, "Okay, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."
