Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 259

The children rushed to Sheng Fei’s side and started to nuzzle against her.

They happily hugged Sheng Fei, each expressing their gratitude.

Lu Ting smiled wryly. He wondered how it had come to this.

Clearly, he had spent the money, paying for their clothes, yet in the end, all the gratitude seemed to go to Sheng Fei.

Lu Ting shook his head, feeling that the situation regarding favors was not developing on the right direction. He had bought the clothes, but the favors fell on Sheng Fei.

Seeing Sheng Fei smile like a mischievous little mouse, Lu Ting felt helpless. He could only shake his head in resignation and voice his discontent.

“I say, all of you, have you got the order wrong? Although these clothes were selected by Sheng Fei, they were bought by your Uncle.

Your Uncle spent money to buy them for you. Why are you only thanking her and not me? You’re really breaking my heart here, it’s so sad.”

Lu Ting feigned a sorrowful expression, pretending to be pitiful in front of the children.

Seeing him like this, only Lu Sanya patted Lu Ting’s leg to comfort him.

On the other hand, the other children giggled like little kittens.

Lu Ting knew that these children loved to laugh and play, so he didn’t say much more.

Just some playful banter with them. Lu Ting was naturally approachable and got along well with the children.

“Alright, alright, since you like them, go change into the clothes in your rooms and see if they fit.”

“Auntie’s choices will definitely fit. Uncle never picks the right sizes, and they are either too big or small for the waist. If they’re too big, that’s okay, but if they’re too small, we can’t even wear them.”

Lu Da pouted and threw a quick look at Lu Ting.

Sheng Fei was already laughing at the children’s comments.

“Looks like the children have the best vision. Children’s eyes are sharp. They can even tell the difference between what I bought and what you bought.”

The children happily showed off their clothes to each other and then returned to their rooms to change into their new outfits.

Although the children already had quite a few clothes, this was Lu Ting’s gifts, and they were excited to do a little spin for both adults before running outside to show off to their friends in the village.

Life in the village was generally tough nowadays, and few could afford to buy so many clothes, so having any new clothes was already very good.

Some kids wore hand-me-downs from their cousins, which were worn out and patched up, yet they were reluctant to throw them away.

For example, one of their classmates, Heizi. His pants were so patched up that they looked dirty and ragged, nearing the point of falling apart.

It was simply because his family was poor and couldn’t afford new clothes, so he had to make do.

If everyone was in the same situation, no one would say anything, but when only a few wore ragged clothes while others had new ones, it would lead to feelings of dissatisfaction.

So Heizi often felt embarrassed when playing with others.

The children returned after a round outside and were asked by Sheng Fei and Lu Ting if they had eaten dinner at their friend’s house. The children replied they had already finished, leaving only Sheng Fei and Lu Ting eating dinner.
