Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 34 I am not her and my father's child

In no time, Lin Qingshan had finished building the rabbit burrow.

Er Mao, San Mao, and Er Ya were all extremely happy. Er Mao was so happy that he danced with joy.

Shout loudly:

"Oh, oh, Mom, we and Grandpa won! You lost!"

Lu Qingqing said with a smile:

"Oh, you guys are really good, then we admit defeat."

Stone pouted:

"We were so close, we'll definitely win next time."

Shuang'er chimed in:

"Yes, we'll definitely be faster than you next time."

Lin Qingshan laughed heartily and said:

"Okay, let's compete again next time."

The children gathered around the newly built rabbit hutch, chattering excitedly.

Er Mao excitedly introduced it to Daya and Er Ya:

"Sister, look how nice this rabbit hutch is! The little rabbits will definitely love it."

Sanmao chimed in, "That's right, Grandpa's hands are so skillful!"

Daya smiled and nodded: "It's really beautiful."

Er Ya curiously peered into the nest:

"The little rabbit would be very comfortable living there."

The courtyard was filled with the joyful laughter of children.

At this moment, everyone's face was filled with happiness and contentment.

Lin Qingshan had never seen his grandchildren so happy before.

His nose tingled, and he felt a sudden urge to cry.

For so many years, he had always thought that's how children were.

He didn't feel anything until today, when he realized a problem.

He watched the children's joyful figures.

His gaze lingered on Daya and Erya, his eyes filled with heartache, and he murmured to himself:

"These children, how much injustice they suffered in the past."

Lu Qingqing walked to Lin Qingshan's side and said softly:

"Dad, don't think too much about it. Things will get better."

Lin Qingshan wiped his eyes and nodded:

"Qingqing, it's all thanks to you."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Dad, we are all family."

At this moment, Daya ran over and looked at Lu Qingqing shyly.

Lu Qingqing held Daya's hand and said:

"Da Ya, you and Er Ya can come here to play often in the future."

Daya's eyes lit up, and she said happily:

"Really, Auntie?"

Lu Qingqing nodded affirmatively:

"Of course it's true, you're welcome here anytime."

Er Ya also came over, her face full of anticipation:

"Auntie, we will definitely come often."

Lu Qingqing patted Er Ya's head with her clean wrist. "Okay, Auntie welcomes you anytime."

Afterwards, everyone worked together to successfully plant the vegetables.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Qingshan prepared to take Daya and Erya back.

Lu Qingqing quickly asked them to wait a moment.

He turned and went inside, and came out a short while later with his things.

She handed the items to Lin Qingshan and said:

"Father, these are the medicines I prepared for you. Take them for a few days and your body should be almost fully recovered."

These are some food I brought for my second brother and sister-in-law.

I know their lives are difficult, even more so than ours.

Lin Qingshan took the things, his eyes welling up with tears again:

"Qingqing, you are such a kind-hearted child. I feel so ashamed of myself."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Dad, we're all family, of course we should help each other."

Daya and Erya also said sensibly:

"Thank you, Auntie."

Lu Qingqing waved her hand: "Go back now, you can come visit anytime."

Lin Qingshan led the two maids slowly away into the distance.

Lu Qingqing stood at the door, watching their retreating figures, her heart filled with emotion.

Time flies, and before long it got dark.

Lu Qingqing cooked some porridge for the children and steamed a bowl of egg custard for each of them.

Of course, Lin Yunlan also had a bowl.

When Lu Qingqing was taking care of Lin Yunlan's meal,

Lin Yunlan seemed a little awkward and said he didn't want to eat.

Until Lin Yunlan's face turned completely red, Lu Qingqing seemed to understand something.

asked:

"Lin Yunlan, you don't need to use the restroom, do you?"

Lin Yunlan quickly lowered her head, wishing she could disappear into the ground at that moment.

He stammered, "I, I..."

Lu Qingqing was quite generous and open-minded.

She moved all the food to the kitchen so the children could eat there.

She then took the chamber pot and walked to Lin Yunlan's side, saying:

"Come on, don't be shy, it's nothing."

Lin Yunlan was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up.

Lu Qingqing gently helped him up and assisted him with using the restroom.

After she finished relieving herself, Lu Qingqing comforted her:

"Lin Yunlan, you're not fully recovered yet, this is normal."

Don't worry about it. Just focus on getting better and recovering as soon as possible; that's the most important thing.

Lin Yunlan nodded, blushing.

"Qingqing, thank you. I'm the one who made you go through all this trouble."

Lu Qingqing smiled:

"We're family, so there's no need for formalities. Just tell me directly if you need anything in the future."

Lin Yunlan was deeply moved by his wife's generosity and forthrightness.

Today, he heard his father recount the whole story of what happened after he fell into a coma.

He also learned that Lu Qingqing had suffered grievances in this family.

So he secretly decided that he would wait until he was fully recovered.

He will treat Lu Qingqing well and protect her and the four children.

Lu Qingqing brought over a basin of water.

She washed Lin Yunlan's hands and face, and then fed Lin Yunlan again.

Looking at Lu Qingqing's focused expression, Lin Yunlan said softly, "Qingqing..."

"Qingqing, you've worked so hard."

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly: "Haha, I won't say anymore, let's eat."

Lin Yunlan obediently opened her mouth.

Eating the food that Lu Qingqing fed me warmed my heart.

Lu Qingqing said while feeding him:

"You need to get better soon, the children are waiting for you to play with them."

Lin Yunlan's eyes were firm:

"Qingqing, don't worry, I will get better as soon as possible."

Lu Qingqing nodded:

"That's good. Here, have another bite."

Under Lu Qingqing's attentive care, Lin Yunlan quickly finished his meal.

Lu Qingqing cleaned up the dishes and then tucked the blanket around Lin Yunlan.

Lin Yunlan said, "Qingqing, you should get some rest too."

Lu Qingqing replied, "Okay, you should go to sleep now."

The room fell silent, and Lin Yunlan lay quietly on the bed.

Lu Qingqing settled the little ones down and put them to sleep.

They then set up a makeshift bed on the ground.

Lin Yunlan felt extremely guilty looking at Lu Qingqing sleeping on the floor.

I kept my eyes open and didn't sleep.

Seeing that Lin Yunlan was not asleep, Lu Qingqing started chatting with him.

Lu Qingqing asked Lin Yunlan:

"Um, do you know about my separation from your mother and the others?"

Lin Yunlan replied, "I know, Dad told me today."

Lu Qingqing was very surprised and asked Lin Yunlan:

"Then you don't blame me?"

Lin Yunlan replied:

"Marrying into this family has made you suffer."

Lu Qingqing understood that Lin Yunlan was a sensible person.

She said:

"Lin Yunlan, as long as our family lives a good life, we are not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

Lin Yunlan nodded:

"Qingqing, once I recover, I will make sure you and the child live a good life."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay."

Lu Qingqing asked Lin Yunlan curiously:

"Yunlan, can you tell me how you became a vegetable?"

Lin Yunlan looked dejected when this was mentioned; his eyes dimmed, and he slowly said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it must have been my cousin who did it."

As for whether my mother was involved, I don't have any evidence yet.

Lu Qingqing frowned:

"How could this happen? Why would they want to hurt you?"

Because the day before my accident, I accidentally learned a big secret.

Lin Yunlan's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke:

“I am not her and Dad’s child.”

Lu Qingqing was very surprised and asked with wide eyes:

"Does Father know?"

Lin Yunlan shook his head, his face bitter:

“I didn’t dare tell my father because I only heard them say these things, and I had no evidence.”

Lu Qingqing gasped:

"How...how could this happen? What are you planning to do next?"

Lin Yunlan's gaze was firm:

"I must find out the truth about this; I can't let it remain unresolved."

Lu Qingqing looked at him with concern:

"But what if it were true? Could you accept that?"

Lin Yunlan bit her lip:

"No matter what, I need to know the truth."

Even if he wasn't my biological father, I will never forget the kindness he showed me in raising me.

Lu Qingqing gently patted his shoulder:

"No matter the outcome, I will support you."

Lin Yunlan looked at Lu Qingqing gratefully:

"Qingqing, I feel much more at ease after hearing your words."

The two remained silent for a moment, both lost in deep thought.
