Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 67

However, her husband was very fond of his son Zhang Huzi. When he heard what Li Guifang said, Zhang Mingshan scoffed.

“You said the woman you’re selling with claims that their family has some ancestral medicinal prescription that can cure Huzi? Are you bewitched? You still believe what that woman says, she’s just a swindler.”

Li Guifang furrowed her brow. She really could not understand Zhang Mingshan’s ignorance and foolishness.

“Even if she’s a swindler, she must have some ulterior motive, right? But what could she be after? Our family has no power or status, and I’ve already told her that we have no money. Yet she still offered to treat our Huzi for free, and even said she’s willing to take Huzi to their home, and we can go visit him anytime we want.

That’s how it is. You still say she’s deceiving us. Moreover, their family already has five children, so how could they possibly harm our Huzi?”

Zhang Mingshan did not believe Sheng Fei was telling the truth, he simply did not trust these kinds of people.

After struggling in society for so many years, he did not believe that there was anyone willing to selflessly help another person.

“Although I don’t know her true purpose now, I’m telling you, that person’s intentions are definitely not pure. Their family has five children, so what? Do you know who she is? That’s Sheng Fei!”

“Sheng Fei? What about her? Do you know her?”

“I don’t know her personally, but I’ve heard about the Sheng family. Do you know their situation?

Sheng Fei’s mother died early, and later a stepmother came along with Sheng Fei’s stepsister. The stepmother and stepsister ganged up against Sheng Fei. Later, the stepmother married Sheng Fei off to the Lu family for just fifty yuan. Given their family circumstances, do you really think they could have some ancestral prescription?

Even if they did, they definitely wouldn’t just give it to us for free.”

“You say Sheng Fei’s family is in such a situation, but how come I’ve never heard of it?”

This was the first time that Li Guifang heard her husband talk about the Sheng family’s situations.

When she first met Sheng Fei, she had always thought that Sheng Fei was from a well-off family, a woman who was used to a life of comfort.

Because of Sheng Fei’s behavior, diligence, and intelligence, even if the external appearance could be deceiving, the cultivation and way of speaking inherent to her character could not be faked.

If Sheng Fei hadn’t told her that she was from the countryside, Li Guifang would have even thought that Sheng Fei was a young mistress of some rich family in the county.

“Their family’s situation is their own business, it doesn’t mean anything. Last time Zhang Huzi bought a new set of clothes, weren’t you still blaming me for spending money recklessly? You said what’s the point of buying such nice clothes for a child, but that was the money the sister spent on Huzi.

Look at how good she’s been to our Huzi. If she can cure Huzi, it shows she cares for our family’s Huzi.”

“Anyway, I don’t agree with you messing around like this. She’s just acting all friendly for some hidden agenda. It’s either a scam or theft.”

Husband Zhang Mingshan’s strong opposition led to another argument between the two.

Seeing his parents arguing again because of him, Zhang Huzi covered his ears and shook his head. He didn’t expect that his current physical condition had put the family in such a messy situation.

Every time it was because of his health that his parents would argue.

Zhang Huzi really wanted to persuade them not to fight, but it was useless.

Of course, Zhang Huzi hoped that he could be a healthy person.

But if it was because of him that his parents’ relationship had cracks, he could not forgive himself, so Zhang Huzi tugged at Li Guifang’s sleeve.
