Island parenting/Anti-trope/Children influencing stepmother.

Social animal Ning Tang transmigrated into a 70s island stepmother novel as the contrasting character. The female protagonist was her cousin, Ning Xue. Ning Xue married Section Chief Su, who was stationed on the island, divorced, and had two children. She was good at cooking, made clothes, and treated Section Chief Su's two children as her own, raising them no differently from biological children.

In contrast, Ning Tang, who married Regiment Commander Shen (also stationed on the same island, widowed, and with three children), would hit and scold Regiment Commander Shen's three children, never saying a good word. She even starved the three children until they were skin and bones, like little beggars who had fled a disaster.

Ning Tang: ...?

Since she was already here, she might as well follow the plot. She decided to slack off to the end!

With the sun high in the sky, Regiment Commander Shen's three children called out that they were hungry in front of Ning Tang's bed. The eldest child put his hands on his hips and said, "You look at the stepmother next door (Ning Xue), how good she is to her two children, cooking and making clothes for them."

Ning Tang scratched her ear. "What year were you three born?"

The three children looked at each other. The eldest child said, "I was born in '69, Second Girl was born in '71, and Third Child was born in '73."

"Oh." Ning Tang comfortably rolled over, thinking, 'I was born in 2000, so I'm actually much younger than you. Why should I take care of you?'

Adhering to the idea of not mistreating herself for the sake of others, Ning Tang used seafood she gathered from the beach to make a pile of spicy seafood salad.

The three children were so greedy. Second Girl drooled all over the floor. "Stepmother, share some with us."

Ning Tang: "You can't get something for nothing. If you want to eat, you can exchange money tickets with me."

The three children had originally planned to keep the money tickets Regiment Commander Shen gave them before going to sea, but they ended up exchanging them all for food with Ning Tang.

Third Child: "Stepmother, look, the stepmother next door has a job and earns money to buy food for the children next door every day."

Ning Tang: "It's not good for children to compare themselves to others."

Ning Xue had to go to work before dawn every morning, while Ning Tang was still asleep at that time. Ning Tang suddenly felt that being unemployed was pretty good!

Section Chief Su's two sons told Ning Xue they wanted to play in the back mountain and by the sea. Ning Xue gently stroked their heads. "Those places are dangerous, don't go."

Regiment Commander Shen's three children told Ning Tang they wanted to play in the back mountain and by the sea. Ning Tang rolled up her sleeves. "Are we going to catch rabbits or gather seafood? When are we going?"

Ning Xue's stepson got into a fight at school. Ning Xue didn't hit or scold them; she enlightened them with reason.

Regiment Commander Shen's three children got into a fight at school. The teacher said, "Your children got into a fight at school."

Ning Tang: "Did they win?"

Teacher (?): "They won... but..."

Ning Tang: "If they won, why did you call me here?"

Days passed, and Ning Xue's two stepsons, whom she had treated with all her heart, turned into ungrateful wretches.

Ning Tang's three free-range children: the eldest became a prominent wealthy man, Second Girl became a big star on TV, and Third Child became a swimmer representing the country in competitions.

Ning Xue: Who can I complain to about this?

Ning Tang, a corporate s*ave, transmigrated into a novel about a stepmother on a remote island. Her cousin, Ning Xue, married a divorced military officer with two children who she treated as her own. Meanwhile, Ning Tang, who married another military officer stationed on the same island after becoming a widow with three children, constantly scolded and mistreated her stepchildren. She even let them go hungry and neglected them like beggars.

One day, when the children complained about their treatment, Ning Tang decided to fully embrace her role as a lazy stepmother. She made seafood stew from the harvest of the sea and demanded payment from the children in exchange for food. Despite their initial protests, the children eventually gave in and used their money to buy food from Ning Tang.

Ning Xue, on the other hand, had a job and made money to provide for her stepchildren. However, Ning Tang saw the harm in children constantly comparing themselves to others and began to appreciate her own laid-back lifestyle.

When Su, Ning Xue’s husband, suggested taking the children to a dangerous part of the island, Ning Xue kindly refused.

The three children of the Shen family told Ning Tang that they wanted to go to the mountains and the seaside to play. Ning Tang rolled up his sleeves and asked, “Are we going to catch rabbits or fish for seafood? When should we go?”

Ning Xue’s stepson got into a fight at school, but she didn’t scold or hit him. Instead, she tried to influence them with reason.

The three children of the Shen family got into a fight at school. The teacher said, “Your children got into a fight at school.” Ning Tang asked, “Did they win?” The teacher replied, “They won, but…” Ning Tang then said, “If they won, why are you calling me?”
