Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 301

Recently, Lu Ting had started making money alongside his partners, so he naturally learned a lot. However, he didn’t expect Sheng Fei to understand even more than he did.

It seems that Lu Ting had underestimated Sheng Fei before.

Now, Sheng Fei’s abilities were beyond Lu Ting’s reach. When they talked, no matter the topic, Sheng Fei could keep up and even provide Lu Ting with unique insights.

Even when she refuted Lu Ting, she did so with clarity and reasoning.

“Have you ever studied?”

“Yeah, I taught myself back then.”

Sheng Fei smiled, her eyes curving, and she instinctively looked away.

The original owner seemed to have not gone to school for many years and barely knew how to read.

Now Sheng Fei was quite knowledgeable, so Lu Ting had some doubts.

After enjoying a pleasant evening together, Lu Ting noticed that it was getting dark outside and instinctively glanced back at Sheng Fei.

At this moment, the room was lit by a kerosene lamp. Under the dim light, Sheng Fei’s brows and eyes appeared particularly gentle, and Lu Ting found himself in a daze.

Sheng Fei indeed had a unique charm. Even though he had seen many different people, he still found himself attracted by Sheng Fei’s softness, wondering inside how someone like Sheng Fei could be so gentle.

Previously, Lu Ting thought Sheng Fei was just noisy and ignorant, but after their heart-to-heart talk, he felt that he had been constrained by outdated views.

Clearly, Sheng Fei was knowledgeable and understood a lot, so Lu Ting began to talk with her on that level.

Unbeknownst to Sheng Fei, she simply spoke her mind and inadvertently revealed her ability to read and write.

“I heard from Brother Lu that he picked up empty bottles recently and asked you to sell them in the county. I think since the children are at home, their responsibility is to study well. There is no need for Lu Da to pick up bottles.”

The two began discussing their thoughts on raising children. Lu Ting’s viewpoint was that he could support several kids on his own, and now with Sheng Fei’s help, Lu Da didn’t need to work so hard.

“Children of poor family grow up early. After all, Lu Da enjoys doing this kind of work. He feels a sense of achievement from earning money by himself, so I let him do it.

Besides, I don’t let him go alone to the recycling station to exchange for money. I do that. This way, he only has to pick up some bottles without too much effort. I do this just to let Lu Da experience the difficulty of making money. Your comment makes it seem like I’m forcing Lu Da to work.”

Lu Ting had never heard such a viewpoint before, so after Sheng Fei said this, he merely nodded and thought it was reasonable.

However, Lu Ting sometimes genuinely felt that Sheng Fei’s reasoning made a lot of sense.

“Of course I know you’re not that kind of person. Recently, the kids have started seeing you as their real mother, while they’ve become somewhat distant from me, their little uncle. Just look, even Sanya calls you mom now.”

Hearing this, Lu Ting felt really jealous. He smiled and said that Sheng Fei had indeed taken on the role of a good stepmother for the children.

If Sheng Fei were to force Lu Da to work for money, Lu Da would surely do it reluctantly.
