Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 73

“Oh, so that’s how it is, Brother Huzi, please have a seat.”

Sheng Fei was originally worried that the five children wouldn’t be able to accept Zhang Huzi, but unexpectedly the four of them gathered around Zhang Huzi, chattering away.

“Brother Huzi, what do your parents do? Why did you come to our house to get treated? What illness do you have?”

“Brother Huzi, you look so strong and sturdy, is your strength very great? Brother Huzi.”

“Brother Huzi, what illness do you have? Hmm, is it something Aunt Sheng Fei can treat you for? I didn’t know she could treat illnesses?”

“Brother Huzi, what are you wearing? It looks so new and beautiful. Brother Huzi, your skin looks so dark.”

“Brother Huzi, don’t just smile, you haven’t said anything yet.”

“Well, you see, I’m just deaf in one ear, so I asked Aunt Sheng Fei to treat me. Of course, I’m strong. I’ve been strong since I was little, and I could help my parents with a lot of work since I was young.

My parents are ordinary workers. Because I’m always outside in the wind and sun, that’s why I look a bit darker. My mom often says I’m very dark-skinned.

But for a boy, being a bit darker makes you seem more masculine, and we know that a lot of girls like darker-skinned boys.”

Zhang Huzi scratched his head and smiled gently, not at all afraid of the questions from these people.

For these children, they were curious about Zhang Huzi, expectant and welcoming, without showing much hostility.

So Zhang Huzi felt at ease around them and was able  to chat along with them.

But if it had been someone else, Zhang Huzi would probably have a hard time speaking up.

“Brother Huzi, what grade are you in this year?”

“Since I’m deaf in one ear, my mom didn’t send me to school. Are you all going to school?”

Hearing them mention going to school, Zhang Huzi’s expression became a bit sad.

Lu Da noticed Zhang Huzi’s mood was not good and saw him scratching his head.

“Huzi, you said you’re deaf in one ear, but you can hear our voices, right?”

“I’m deaf in one ear, but the other one can still hear.”

“I see, Huzi, being deaf in one ear must be really uncomfortable.”

“Yeah, sometimes it’s very uncomfortable. If this ear gets blocked, the other one is practically silent. So I came to your house hoping Aunt Sheng Fei could take a look at my ear. She said she could treat it.”

Lu Da and Lu Sanya exchanged a glance, and Lu Sanya was shocked.

“You’re saying Aunt Sheng Fei can treat your ear? Are you joking? How could she possibly do that?”

“Aunt Sheng Fei told my mom that she can definitely cure my ear, and my mom believes she can, so she let me come to your house.”

Unexpectedly, Sheng Fei had this hidden ability. It was something that Lu Sanya had never heard of before.

It’s unclear whether Sheng Fei was telling the truth or not.

So Lu Sanya didn’t say much more. The five little ones surrounded Zhang Huzi, asking question after question, but Zhang Huzi didn’t seem impatient at all. He patiently explained to them one by one.

The six children soon started playing together.

Lu Ting heard the sounds outside and looked up curiously.

Seeing another boy by the window, he was a bit stunned.

At this moment, Sheng Fei was cooking. Since the water still needed to be fetched from next door, she inevitably had to deal with Xu Yuxia again.
