Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 17

The old man sighed softly this time, having spent five dollars to get some things.

He earned yesterday, but lost money today, so it was a tie.

But at least he had fun playing, so after playing he just watched others try their luck.

Sheng Fei was busy until noon. Not only did she have to pick up the rings, but also divide and collect the money. But she had quick hands and quick eyes. She didn’t miss a single penny, much to the regret of those people who wanted to take advantage of her.

There were also a few young men with dyed hair, whose purpose was not to throw the rings, but to get close to Sheng Fei.

The green-haired one took advantage of Sheng Fei bending down to pick up the rings and deliberately threw the ring around her neck.

The surrounding people burst into laughter. Sheng Fei held back her anger and did not get angry. “Don’t throw at me. Even if you hit, I won’t give it to you.”

The green-haired man’s eyes scanned her face and chest. He looked at her viciously and teased, “Don’t be like that, Boss Lady is so beautiful. It’s a pity not to keep you if we win.”

“Yeah, Boss Lady, our Brother Sheng wants to invite you to dinner. Please do us a favor and have a meal together!”

“Where does the Boss Lady live? Are you from the county?”

It’s not their fault for the misunderstanding. It’s all because of Sheng Fei’s outstanding appearance. Usually the good-looking women in the countryside would have a rustic aura and temperament, but this is not the case with Sheng Fei at all.

So they thought Sheng Fei was from the county. She was probably from a poor family and had dropped out of school early to work.

Sheng Fei shook her head while picking up the rings. “Forget about dinner. I need to go home and cook for my son.”

At noon, the children can eat in the school canteen as long as they pay for the meal. Sheng Fei said this just to dispel their thoughts.

Hearing that Sheng Fei was already married, the young men looked at each other and left after teasing her a bit.

From one o’clock to two o’clock in the afternoon is the most scorching time of the day. During this time, there are not many people playing. Sheng Fei finally sighed in relief and hugged Lu Xiaowu to go to the neighbor auntie to thank them.

She also gave Hu Zi a cartoon brooch.

After earning some money, Sheng Fei hugged Lu Xiaowu and went to a store to eat dumplings.

Their dumplings have thin skins and plenty of fillings, and are known far and wide as delicious. The stall is set up on both sides of the street. It is a small business with low profits but high sales.

Sheng Fei ordered two bowls and ate them heartily. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaowu ate more than a half a bowl and was full, letting out a burp.

Sheng Fei laughed and patted his belly. “You’ve eaten so much, you could fit a watermelon in there.”

Lu Xiaowu licked his lips, “I’m full, I won’t eat anymore.”

In the end, Sheng Fei finished his half-bowl as well.

In the afternoon, the crowd increased again. Sheng Fei was busy back and forth. Finally, in the afternoon, the weather cooled down with a gentle breeze. At this time, everyone had gone home for dinner.

Sheng Fei cleaned up and bought more than ten steamed buns, both meat and vegetable. She intended to take them home for the children to eat with porridge.

In the evening, when they were sleeping, Sheng Fei carefully washed the dust off the handkerchief that Lu Sanya had thrown away.

She knew that the five little ones had deep resentment towards her.

Sheng Fei will slowly change their perceptions of her.

Thinking of Lu Sanya, Sheng Fei had a headache.

She is the female lead, with a promising future as a pillar of the entertainment industry. As a child, she had experienced so many unpleasant things.

If it weren’t for the little male lead secretly accompanying and protecting her all the time, she might have gone down the same dark path as her brothers.

Who would have thought that they had suffered so much?

After washing it clean, she specially hung it on the clothesline to dry.

She also felt a bit strange. At this time of day, the four children should have already returned home. Why haven’t they made a sound yet?
