Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 313

“If you think living in the village is inconvenient, we can move to the county.”

Lu Ting had thought this through. The money he invested in the stock market had multiplied several times, and his business was thriving. Not only could he afford to buy a house in the county, but he could even manage in a first-tier city.

“Ah, that works.”

Lu Ting had money, and Sheng Fei had been saving diligently during this time, hoping to buy a house in a big city for future value. Such good fortune, how could Sheng Fei miss it?

Buying a house now was relatively easy for Lu Ting and Sheng Fei. The current housing prices weren’t skyrocketing like in the future, so there was good potential for making profit. Lu Ting and Sheng Fei made a decision.

Once the rain stopped, they would go to the city to look for houses.

But where to buy? This question left them pondering whether to move to another city or stay in this one.

People strive for higher places, just as water flows downwards.

For Sheng Fei, it was clear that buying in a big city was the safest option.

She was working hard to earn money just to buy a house and provide a better living space for the children.

Surprisingly, Lu Ting shared the same thoughts as Sheng Fei.

Recently, with the money they had made, and since Sheng Fei often stocked up on food and grain at home, they could enjoy delicious meals. As long as the food was stored properly, it wouldn’t spoil. Especially in the colder weather now, it was easy to store the food.

Their pantry was full of rice, flour, grain, and oil, which wouldn’t go bad. They even had plenty of snacks, meaning they could enjoy good food every day, including meat.

The aroma would waft over to the house next door, tempting the eldest branch.

Especially the two children from the eldest branch, Jixiang and Ruyi, who could smell Sheng Fei cooking today.

Sheng Fei was making spicy diced chicken, stir-fried kidney, and chicken stew with mushrooms, and the scent wafted right into their noses.

They sniffed the aroma of the delicious food and begged insistently for something to eat.

Why did Sheng Fei’s family have food while theirs did not?

The two children cried and clamored to eat. They threatened that if the adults didn’t let them, they wouldn’t eat at all.

Their own meals were meager, with very little to eat.

It was unsatisfying since their family’s food reserves were low, and Old Mrs. Lu and Xu Yuxia used very little oil and water when cooking. Because of that, there was never enough to eat.

Jixiang and Ruyi complained daily about wanting to eat from house next door, leaving Xu Yuxia at a loss for what to do.

The relationship between the two families was strained due to a past incident that had caused a rift.

Now, it was impossible for her to go plead with Lu Ting for food. Not only Old Mrs. Lu, but even someone as shameless as Xu Yuxia could not bear it.

Meanwhile, Jixiang and Ruyi were still little children. They didn’t listen and continued to cry for food.

“I don’t care. I’m so hungry. I want to eat meat. Mom, go ask. Go ask Third Uncle for meat. I just want to eat meat. I’m starving!”

“Me too, I’m so hungry too. Mom, why aren’t you going? If you ask, Third Uncle will give it to us.

He loves those five children so much. He must love us too. I want to eat meat!”
