Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 213

Of course, Sheng Fei didn’t say that Lu Chen went to the county to sell bottles himself. Instead, she mentioned that Lu Chen wanted to collect some plastic bottles to sell, and she hoped that if Lu Ting had time, he could help with this too.

“You mean the eldest brother has been collecting plastic bottles? What’s that about? Does he want to save money to buy some toys?”

If Lu Chen was trying to save money for a toy but couldn’t afford it, then Lu Ting could understand why he was making such an effort to collect money.

After all, even children like him enjoy playing with toys. They like toys but can’t afford them, so they try to earn money themselves.

Lu Chen’s efforts were commendable in Lu Ting’s eyes.

“He said he thinks we work too hard to make money, so he wants to help us out. The money he made from selling those bottles last time was used to buy me pastries. He spent all his money on me.”

“You mean the eldest brother thought of you first?”

Lu Ting’s first reaction was that Lu Chen was truly sensible and considerate of the adults, which surprised him.

The second surprise was that Lu Chen thought of Sheng Fei first when he earned money, instead of him. Lu Ting felt a bit jealous.

“He only thought about buying you something. What about me?”

“What?”

Sheng Fei was genuinely caught off guard that Lu Ting would even be jealous because of a kid.

She didn’t realize that Lu Ting was feeling jealous, and she was taken aback for a few seconds.

When she finally understood what Lu Ting meant, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Why is Lu Ting so childish now? Getting jealous because of a kid.

“Are you unhappy that he thought of me first, or do you feel overlooked, so you’re jealous? I didn’t expect you Lu Ting to be like a child when feeling jealous. That’s not a good sign.”

Hearing Sheng Fei tease him like this made Lu Ting feel embarrassed.

He thought she was mocking him, so he felt a bit unhappy and shot her a glare. What was wrong with Sheng Fei? How could she say such things? He thought he was doing fine.

“What are you talking about? How could I be jealous because of a child? They’re just kids.”

“I was just joking. Look at how flustered you are. You’re not even admitting it.”

Sheng Fei teased Lu Ting and spoke like this, and he could only continue to banter with her. However, Lu Ting felt that it was better not to dwell on this topic too much, or it might become embarrassing.

How could he admit to being jealous because a kid?

“I just find it strange. After all, I’m their uncle, and you’re their stepmother. No matter what, they wouldn’t ignore me and be closer to you. So, I feel like there’s something more to it.”

“What’s so strange about that? What do you mean? You’re their uncle, and I’m their stepmother, but I’m still their mom! I care for them and they respect me. Plus, look at how much Lu Chen cares for me. He even bought me pastries. He listens to me so well.”

To Lu Ting, this sounded like pure bragging.

He thought Sheng Fei was showing off about how much the children liked her.

What was up with her?

Lu Ting paused for a moment, unable to deny it.
