Transmigrated into a Wealthy Family, Acting as Sickly Stepmother Chapter 42.1

“Do you know the legend of Qingshui Ancient Town?”

“…As a result, this ancient town not only looks antique, but also has a long history and a lot of cultural heritage. Even today, many traditional craftsmen still live here, quietly passing down our traditional crafts from generation to generation.”

After breakfast, Director Xu gathered the five groups of guests. After introducing the legend of Qingshui Ancient Town, he gestured towards the sugar painting cart behind him, “Have you seen the sugar paintings here?”

Having slept late the night before, Bai Jing yawned and said listlessly, “So, are we going to make sugar paintings?”

“No, no, no, of course not.” Director Xu shot a look of “how could that be possible.” Just as the mothers were sighing in relief, he smiled broadly again, “Wouldn’t that be too simple?”

“Now, the task is for the children to choose a design they like from these sugar paintings, receive the corresponding task card, and then go learn traditional handicrafts.”

“This is our task for the week. On the last day, we will showcase our final learning achievements. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

The guests: “…”

He said it lightly, but the faces of a few mothers became serious. With so many traditional crafts, who knows what they’ll be assigned?

Now they could only hope that their luck would be better and they would be assigned something relatively simple.

The order of selection this time was the reverse of last night, starting with Tao Rou.

This time, Yi Yangyang didn’t dare to cause trouble again, but he also didn’t consult with Tao Rou. He just lowered his head and winked at his sister, “Which design does Fanfan like? Big brother will get it for you!”

Yi Fanfan bit her finger and thought, “The monkey. Big brother likes the Monkey King!”

Yi Yangyang actually spotted the Monkey King sugar painting at a glance. When he heard his sister’s words, he happily picked up the sugar painting. He carefully broke off a piece and let his sister taste it. After seeing her clapping and saying “sweet,” he took a bite himself and felt it was even sweeter.

Tao Rou looked at them with slightly softened eyes and casually took the task card handed to her by the staff. It was written on it: wood carving.

Director Xu’s explanatory voice sounded, “We have invited a master of wood carving, but considering that you have not had any contact with carving before, as long as you can make a wooden carving by the end, the task will be considered completed.”

Yi Yangyang already had little patience. If he had to handle a walnut for fine work, he would definitely not be able to sit still. Therefore, Tao Rou could still accept this task, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After discussing it, Feng Xuchen and Feng Xuran chose the sugar painting of Wu Song fighting the tiger. Sheng Xia opened the task card and raised her eyebrows, “Shadow puppetry.”

Although somewhat surprised, Sheng Xia was still very satisfied with this. She couldn’t help but blink appreciatively at the twins.

Feng Xuchen immediately straightened his small chest proudly, and Feng Xuran’s ears turned red.

Next, Le Chu Xin and Yin Qinya were assigned ceramics, Sheng Lanqiu and Shi Yue were assigned paper cutting, Bai Jing and Hang Xuan were assigned porcelain and bamboo weaving.

[After searching, I feel that none of these crafts are simple. The program team is really tough. I don’t distrust the babies, but with only a week, and none of them are older than 6, can they really do it??]

[If Sheng Xia and the twins perform shadow puppetry, I vote for “Dream of the Red Chamber” hahaha, I’m really looking forward to it.]

[Among the groups, I’m least optimistic about Le Chu Xin. With Yaya’s temperament, will she really be willing to “play with mud”?]

Following the given address, Sheng Xia and her group arrived at their destination.

The teacher invited by the program team was a grandfather who looked somewhat serious. After looking at them, he didn’t say much, just nodded. Then, relying solely on himself, he performed the lively “Havoc in Heaven” for them.

Not only the twins but even Feng Jingxu was captivated, and Sheng Xia watched with relish.

After the performance, the twins were completely impressed by the old grandfather. They surrounded him, tilting their little heads up, their round eyes full of admiration and amazement. “Grandpa is really amazing! If we learn, can we perform like that too?”

Although the teacher was not one to smile easily, he couldn’t help but show a little smile when he saw the admiring eyes of the youngsters. “If you can study seriously, of course you can.”

Feng Xuchen quickly nodded vigorously, standing tall and promising earnestly, “Chen Chen will definitely study hard and not be lazy! Sister too!”

Feng Xuran’s gaze had been on the handsome and dashing Bima Wen. She pursed her small mouth and nodded solemnly.

The teacher’s expression softened slightly, and then he took out all his treasures, introducing each one to the two little ones, and finally settled on the performance of “Flaming Mountain.”

On the first day of learning, the teacher briefly explained the origins of his school and the production techniques, and then vividly recounted the story of “Flaming Mountain.”

Their progress was smooth, and the twins listened especially attentively. With the teacher’s explanations, the morning passed by unnoticed.

When they returned for lunch at noon, they saw Yin Qinya was angry with Le Chu Xin.

“I said I don’t want to play with mud!” Yin Qinya stomped her feet, pouting, “Didn’t you see their hands are all muddy and dirty?”

Le Chu Xin was at a loss, trying to appease her, “But this is the task you drew, and didn’t we all follow the master this morning? That was clay, not the mud you’re thinking of, none of it is dirty at all. Can’t we just try to overcome it?”

“But it still looks dirty. I’m wearing a white dress today, and I can’t get it dirty,” Yin Qinya frowned unhappily. “Why can they choose something else, but I have to play with mud?”

Le Chu Xin sighed, “Because this is the sugar painting you chose. We drew this task, so we can’t just say we won’t do it, can we?”

Yin Qinya covered her ears and continued to stomp her feet, “Then I’ll go tell Dad! Let Dad change it for me!”

Le Chu Xin was obviously getting anxious, her voice raised slightly, “Yin Qinya, try to be reasonable!”

“You’re yelling at me? Hmph, I knew it, Mom, you don’t care about me at all!!”

“Chu Xin, don’t rush to scold the child. Yin Qinya is so beautiful and a girl, it’s normal for her to love cleanliness and not want to dirty her clothes.” Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel, Sheng Lanqiu quickly comforted, “How about this, since Yueyue and I drew paper cutting, which is more suitable for girls, why don’t we switch?”

Yin Qinya quickly nodded, “Okay, okay, I’m willing to do paper cutting!”

In the past, for the sake of her daughter’s wishes, Le Chu Xin would even if she felt embarrassed, she would definitely agree.

However, perhaps after last night’s incident, she had been unconsciously thinking about what Sheng Xia had said. Now, even though she wanted to agree, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Bai Jing couldn’t stand it anymore and interjected, “Le Chu Xin, just let her cry. Let her find her dad. I want to see if Yin Su will change it for her!”

She was arrogant and really looked down on Le Chu Xin’s weak and spineless attitude. Ignoring her son pulling her, she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, “I think what Sheng Xia said yesterday was right. How did she put it— we need to respect the child’s choice. Since she doesn’t want to play with mud, just don’t let her learn it, why change?”

Tao Rou also shook her head, “Although I may not have the qualifications to say, this really won’t do, you can’t indulge the child like this, Chu Xin.”

Yin Qinya understood that they were criticizing her and immediately started to cry, shouting that she wanted to find her dad and quit the show.

Realizing that the cameras were still rolling, Le Chu Xin’s forehead broke out in sweat. She was anxious to comfort her daughter but was pushed away by her daughter without any face, “You’re a bad mom, I don’t want you! You all bully me. Auntie Lanqiu clearly said she would switch with me, why are you still scolding me? Sob, I want Dad!!”

【Ah, I can’t stand it anymore, my fists are clenched! It’s really annoying when kids keep saying “I want Dad.” When they grow up, will they just say “My dad is Yin Su”? I never thought Yin the actor would spoil his child like this. Not to be rude, but how can Le Chu Xin be such a weak mother??】

【Am I the only one who thinks Sheng Lanqiu shouldn’t have said that? And she didn’t even ask for Yueyue’s opinion, she just made the decision for her. It was the same yesterday, the more I think about it, the more something feels off?】

【Lanlan is just too kind-hearted and was just trying to help. Who could have imagined the kid would react like this? Lanlan and Yueyue are very close, so please don’t speculate randomly.】

Sheng Lanqiu didn’t expect her good intentions to lead to such a dilemma. As everyone’s eyes fell on her, her expression involuntarily stiffened slightly. She quickly softened her tone and tried to placate, “Yes, Yaya, don’t cry. It was indeed Auntie who volunteered to switch.”

“Chu Xin, it’s only the second day. We can’t let the child throw a tantrum. It’s not to the point where we can’t continue the show, right?” Sheng Lanqiu showed a helpless expression and empathetically said, “I have nothing to do with Yueyue anyway. We’ve only learned for half a day.”

Le Chu Xin was already starting to waver, “But Yueyue…”

Sheng Lanqiu gently touched Shi Yue’s head and spoke in an especially soft voice, “Yueyue is a man. Seeing Yaya cry so sadly, can we let Yaya have her way?”

Although Shi Yue wasn’t particularly fond of paper cutting, the teacher who taught him was very gentle, and he liked her a lot. So, when he heard his mother’s advice, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

However, seeing that Yin Qinya was really crying sadly, he also felt worried. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, “Okay, Mom, let’s switch with Yaya.”

Bai Jing couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and Tao Rou sighed.

【I have never been so eager for Sheng Xia to appear. If she were here, I can guarantee that Yin Qinya wouldn’t dare to act like this.】

【I think Bai Jing and the others are thinking the same thing.】

【Ah, here she comes, Sheng Xia is here!】

【Sheng—Xia—】

With the sudden excitement in the comment section, they heard the familiar voice with a smile, “Looks like I’m late. I almost missed the fun. Hurry up, Xiaoxu, record well, we can still catch up to the climax.”
