Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

Chen Yi didn't want to disturb Lu Ziren from visiting his wife, so he consciously moved the noodles and vegetables he got from the car to the kitchen.

But when Lu Haojie saw Lu Ziren coming back, he couldn't help but yelled, "Dad, you're back."

Only then did Lu Ziren withdraw his gaze from Xia Yingying.

When Xia Yingying saw them coming back and she had almost finished her studies, she got up to make dinner.

Seeing this, Lu Ziren walked up to her, pressed her shoulders, and said softly, "If you can read, just rest assured. I'll cook today."

"Mom, don't do what dad does. It will give you diarrhea." Lu Haojie shook his head in pain, holding his stomach and looking at Lu Ziren.

The expression on Lu Ziren's face froze instantly.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but cover the corners of her mouth with a smile, and looked at Lu Ziren with curved eyebrows, "Okay, I'll do it, Xiaojie, come and help me, okay?"

"Yeah." Seeing that it was not Lu Ziren who was cooking, Lu Haojie nodded happily.

"Mom, the children and I can cook today's meal." Xia Yingying said to Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi was still seriously memorizing the words that Lu Haoran had taught her today. Xia Yingying had the children to help her, so she let Song Ruyi go about her business.

Lu Haojie was sitting on a small stool in front of the stove, making fire for Xia Yingying. Seeing this, Lu Ziren drove Lu Haojie away and took over the job of making fire.

After Lu Yuwei washed the vegetables and helped cut them, she went out.

Lu Haojie stayed in the room with his brothers and sisters and told them in detail everything that had happened at home during this period.

When Lu Haoran heard that Song Ruyi was almost sold to a brothel, he couldn't help but clench his fist in anger: "Fortunately, Daddy came back this time, otherwise... little brother, we must treat grandma well in the future."

"That's natural. I love my grandmother very much and will treat her well."

After talking about this, Lu Haojie brought up the divorce of Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying.

Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei looked at each other, and they pulled Lu Haojie's arm in unison: "Xiaojie, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course. If I hadn't run away from home and Daddy hadn't scolded me, he wouldn't have brought Mom back." Lu Haojie still pouted angrily when he mentioned this.

"Xiaojie, thank you for your hard work. Next time I come back, I will bring you some candied haws. From now on, you must observe your father and stepmother carefully. If you find anything wrong with them, you must tell me in time, do you understand?" Lu Haoran held Lu Haojie's hand.

"Okay, got it. I want two strings of candied haws." Lu Haojie stretched out two fingers.

"You won't be left out." Lu Haoran made his promise.

Xia Yingying had suggested to Lu Haoran many times that she would divorce Lu Ziren after he returned, but when he actually heard that Xia Yingying and Lu Ziren were divorcing, he was not as excited as he had imagined.

After waking up, there was no trace of the vicious Xia Yingying before. Instead, she was very kind to them. This kindness was not flattery, nor was it any ulterior motive. During this period of time, he had already regarded Xia Yingying as his inseparable relative.

After dinner, he must tell Lu Ziren about his attitude towards Xia Yingying, so that Xia Yingying can be saved from being divorced.

Because there were only Lu Ziren and Xia Yingying in the kitchen, Xia Yingying took the opportunity to remind Lu Ziren to persuade Lu Haoran not to go to the debate.

"Well, don't worry, I know, I will tell him."

"Yeah." Seeing that Lu Ziren agreed, Xia Yingying cooked with peace of mind, and soon prepared a large table of dishes.

After finishing the meal, Lu Ziren said to Lu Haoran, "Haoran, don't go to the debate in the private school this time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Haoran looked at Lu Ziren in a daze, his eyes full of confusion.

"Okay." He finally nodded.

When Lu Ziren rescued him, he promised Lu Ziren that he would listen to him no matter what happened in the future.

Now Lu Ziren was just making such a request, so what reason did he have to disagree?

He believed that there was a reason why Lu Ziren asked him not to go to private school, but he was not in a position to tell him the specific reason.

"Your stepmother is a little different from before. When did you notice her change?" Lu Ziren changed the subject and mentioned Xia Yingying.

Lu Haoran's expression froze.

He had no choice but to tell him everything that had happened after Lu Ziren left. When he heard that Xia Yingying had died after taking the medicine and then woke up, Lu Ziren's eyes flashed slightly.

"Dad, is my stepmother really not the same person as before?" Lu Haoran was confused.

Lu Ziren's question meant that he had discovered something different about Xia Yingying. This meant that his initial guess was correct. So was this person in front of him a human or a ghost?

"She is still your stepmother, but her personality has changed. No matter what happens, you must not hurt her again, do you understand?" Lu Ziren's voice was serious and contained a hint of warning.

"I will be returning to Beijing to report on my work in a while. You will stay here until I send someone to pick you up. During this time, you should take good care of your family. If you have any questions, you can send me a message. I will leave a carrier pigeon for you when I leave."

Lu Ziren gave Lu Haoran instructions one by one.

"I know, kid."

Lu Haoran suddenly looked at Lu Ziren with a scrutinizing look, and Lu Ziren asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I heard that you are going to divorce your stepmother?" Lu Haoran's voice was obviously aggressive.

Lu Ziren frowned slightly. Why are they talking about this again? Isn't this matter over? This must have been said by Lu Haojie. However, this does prove that Xia Yingying did a good job as a stepmother again this time. The children don't want them to divorce.

Lu Ziren pinched his brows and couldn't help pretending to be serious and said, "She didn't treat you badly or abuse you. Isn't it a good opportunity for me to get revenge and relieve your hatred by divorcing her?"

"My stepmother was indeed a bad person before, but she changed later. We all like her. Dad, please don't get a divorce, okay?" Lu Haoran couldn't help but plead with a hint of hope.

"Yeah." Lu Ziren agreed.

"Thank you, Dad." Lu Haoran said with surprise.

I didn't expect that dad would agree so quickly. Finally, their family wouldn't have to be separated anymore, and they wouldn't have to become motherless children anymore.

When Lu Ziren came back, Xia Yingying was lying on the bed after washing up.

He was just about to take off his clothes and go to bed when he heard Zha Xinxin ask him, "Have you told Lu Haoran?"

"Don't worry, I told you. He agreed." Lu Ziren responded.

Xia Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

Lu Ziren thought of the sand table, so he asked Xia Yingying for no apparent reason: "How far have you learned to read?"

"I have finished learning the Three Character Classic." Xia Yingying was very confused. Why did he suddenly ask this?

"Why don't you use a sand table instead of pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" Lu Ziren hadn't thought of the next topic yet, so he racked his brains to come up with one.
