Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 155

Moreover, Xu Yuxia is notorious for being stingy. She and Lu Jiefang are birds of a feather. To ask this couple for a loan would be like being kicked in the head by a donkey.

The stingy Xu Yuxia chuckled a few times and changed the subject.

“Yes, this is a case of when one is in trouble, all sides come to help. I know we’re all family.

But there’s also a saying that even close brothers sometimes keep accounts. Our Jiefang has money, but you also know that he just can’t save them. Let me be honest with you, our family is doing well, but you see even just for Jixiang and Ruyi’s schooling, it requires a lot of money. Now my parents are living with us, and the two elders also have their expenses.

Although our Jiefang’s job is relatively stable, the pressure is also very high. Money is needed everywhere. Even if we want to help, I’m afraid I may be unable to.”

“It’s okay, sister-in-law. I don’t need too much, just lend me twenty yuan. I’ll pay you back once I earn some money.”

Sheng Fei didn’t give her a chance to refuse. She stretched out her fingers and showed the number two.

Seeing Sheng Fei’s smiling face, Xu Yuxia felt that she was being hypocritical.

Xu Yuxia delayed a few more times, feeling that she couldn’t easily come to see Sheng Fei again.

Every time she came to Sheng Fei, she would ask to borrow money. After going back and forth, Xu Yuxia really couldn’t handle it.

“I’m really sorry, we really don’t have any money lately. Our house has been leaking for years, and we’re planning to find some workers to fix the roof in a few days. The money is all for emergencies, so we really can’t help.

Oh, it’s getting late, Jixiang and Ruyi must be out of school by now. I should go pick them up.”

Xu Yuxia was now anxious and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But Sheng Fei was unyielding. She grabbed Xu Yuxia who was about to leave, tilted her head, and asked lightly.

“But don’t you usually not care about them at all? Didn’t you say to let the two kids be self-reliant? When I went to pick up my children, I didn’t see you picking up Jixiang and Ruyi either.”

Being directly exposed by Sheng Fei, Xu Yuxia glared at her angrily.

“Then I must have remembered it wrong. I have something to do with Aunt Zhang now, so I’ll be going first.”

Xu Yuxia waved her hand and left directly.

Without waiting for Sheng Fei to call her back, she disappeared in just two or three steps.

Sheng Fei stood there and sneered.

Asking for money seems to be a good way to keep Xu Yuxia from bothering her again.

In the future, whenever Xu Yuxia comes, just ask her to lend some money.

Xu Yuxia came to ask Sheng Fei where she had been recently and whether she would go to the county for work.

Sheng Fei had clearly told her that she was going to the county, but Xu Yuxia came to visit every day and found Sheng Fei in the courtyard. Upon seeing Xu Yuxia, Sheng Fei was all smiles and directly invited Xu Yuxia to come in and sit down.

She even said that they were all family, telling Xu Yuxia not to be so polite and distant.

Seeing Sheng Fei’s behavior, Xu Yuxia felt that she was hiding a knife behind her smile.

And after just a few words, Sheng Fei brought up that she didn’t have much spare cash recently and wanted to borrow money from Xu Yuxia.

When Xu Yuxia looked at Lu Ting, his explanation was basically the same as Sheng Fei’s.

These two people, their brains must have been kicked by a donkey to ask her for a loan. Xu Yuxia hurriedly said that she had no money and left immediately.

After avoiding Sheng Fei, Xu Yuxia came to visit again.
