Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 88

Last time, Zhang Jiahui helped Sheng Fei. After finding her bag, he had been trying to encounter Sheng Fei on the street again.

Unexpectedly, this time he just happened to meet Sheng Fei setting up a stall.

Because earlier, Sheng Fei had been doing ring-toss games and smashing things, but recently she had changed her business model. She now let people participate in a lottery.

The idea was that she would write various prizes on small cards, and then they pay one yuan to draw one.

Whatever they drew, that was what they got. If they didn’t get anything, there would still be some consolation prizes given.

Sheng Fei’s tricks had become more and more different recently. Zhang Jiahui originally came to the market to buy some things. After seeing Sheng Fei, he rubbed his eyes in surprise and realized that it was indeed her.

“Sister.”

Zhang Jiahui called out to Sheng Fei and walked straight over to her.

Sheng Fei was talking to someone, and upon hearing the voice, she looked up and saw Zhang Jiahui.

“It’s you, Zhang Jiahui. You’re the one who helped me find my things last time.”

“Sheng Fei, I’ve been walking around the streets these days, hoping to run into you again. I didn’t expect to coincidentally meet you here. What are you doing?”

Zhang Jiahui wasn’t very familiar with these kinds of things, so he didn’t understand what Sheng Fei was doing.

Sheng Fei simply explained it to him.

Zhang Jiahui said that he wanted to support Sheng Fei’s business by buying a hundred yuan worth of small cards, but Sheng Fei stopped him.

“This is how I make money. If you help me today, can you help me tomorrow and the day after as well? You don’t need to, just save your money.”

Zhang Jiahui scratched his head. Actually, he still wanted to stay with Sheng Fei a bit longer.

“I just wanted to give you a hand. If you don’t want me to help, then I won’t. Don’t be mad.”

“I’m not mad.”

While Sheng Fei was setting up her stall, Zhang Jiahui didn’t know what else to say.

He told Sheng Fei that he would go wander around the front area first, and Sheng Fei nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zhang Huzi’s mother Li Guifang came up to Sheng Fei.

“I must say, Sister Sheng Fei, that Zhang Jiahui just now looked quite handsome, and his voice sounded nice too. What’s his family situation like? Does he have any brothers or sisters? Does he have a car and a house?”

Li Guifang had completely misunderstood the situation. She thought that Zhang Jiahui was Sheng Fei’s recent matchmaking partner.

After all, although Sheng Fei was the stepmother of five children, she was legally single. Since Lu Yi’s death, her marriage to Lu Yi had been dissolved

If Sheng Fei wanted to start a new relationship, it would be completely acceptable.

Hearing what Li Guifang said, Sheng Fei shook her head helplessly.

Sure enough, people’s inner thoughts were all the same. They were all equally gossipy.

But Sheng Fei had no interest in letting others gossip about her.

“You’re mistaken. Last time when I was walking on the street, my bag was snatched by a thief. The thief ran too fast for me to catch up. Luckily, Zhang Jiahui, that man, helped me chase him down.

We’re just friends, you’re thinking too much. How could I possibly ask about his family background when we’re just friends?”

Upon hearing this, Li Guifang immediately felt that Zhang Jiahui was a really good person.

“You said your things were stolen by a thief, and he helped you get them back. This Zhang Jiahui is quite honest. You should consider him, you know.

Look, there are not many people these days who are willing to help others. This Zhang Jiahui has a sweet mouth and he’s good-looking too. And most importantly, he’s completely listening to you now.

Just now when you two were talking, Zhang Jiahui’s attention was completely on you, and I saw that he might be interested in you. And you are now friends.

Lovers usually develop from friends, so you can interact with him more and develop your relationship.

But remember, don’t tell him that you have five children, or else you might scare him away.

Wait until your relationship has developed to a certain degree, then you can be honest about it.”

Now Li Guifang is completely concerned about Sheng Fei’s marriage.

Sheng Fei is their Zhang family’s benefactor and also the Qian family’s benefactor, so Li Guifang is very warm towards Sheng Fei.

“It’s not like that. I’m telling you, you’ve misunderstood, Sister Li. My relationship with him is just a normal friendship. I can’t possibly get married. Even if I remarry, I can’t possibly marry him.

What’s more, I’m now taking care of five children. All I can think about every day is being able eat to eat and earn money. I haven’t even thought about anything else, so you don’t need to think about it. I’m not interested in him.”

After hearing Sheng Fei’s refusal in such terms, Li Guifang shook her head helplessly.

“Look at you, why are you so stubborn? Zhang Jiahui’s conditions are so good, but you still don’t think highly of him, alas.”

Li Guifang gave up and didn’t continue to speak. After setting up the stall, this time it was Sheng Fei who specially came to invite him to dinner.

Sheng Fei came to a noodle shop this time to invite him to have beef noodles.

Two people, two bowls of beef noodles, after eating, this time it was finally Sheng Fei’s turn to pay the bill.

Zhang Jiahui was a step slower than Sheng Fei, and he felt a little helpless.

“I say, your speed in paying the bill is too fast. As I say, when a man and a woman eat together, how can we let the woman pay?”

“There’s no need to be so particular about this. We’re so familiar with each other now, there’s no need to be so particular.”

Sheng Fei was obviously not concerned about these things.

She waved her hand. After the meal, according to Sheng Fei’s idea, it was just for each of them to go back to their own home. But today, Zhang Jiahui proposed to send Sheng Fei home.

“Ah, my home is in the village, and it will take a long time to walk. Your home is in the county, so you don’t have to specially send me back. I can go back by myself.”

Sheng Fei was obviously unwilling to let Zhang Jiahui go back and forth like this.

“We’re already friends. It’s normal for friends to send each other back and forth, right? I also want to visit your home, surely you don’t think I don’t even have the qualifications to visit your home?”

Zhang Jiahui’s words obviously made Sheng Fei completely unable to refuse.

Sheng Fei shook her head, not knowing what Zhang Jiahui meant.

But judging from his tone and expression, he didn’t seem like a bad person, so Sheng Fei agreed.

In fact, Sheng Fei thought about what Li Guifang had said. She was also afraid that Zhang Jiahui had some intentions towards her, so she let Zhang Jiahui send her home.

After knowing that she has five children, he would probably give up on the idea.

“Okay, then I’ll trouble you. Let’s go home together.”

On the way home, Zhang Jiahui kept finding topics to chat with Sheng Fei.

He was very talkative, knowledgeable about everything, often making Sheng Fei burst out laughing.

It took a long time for the two of them to walk from the county to the village.

But Zhang Jiahui could talk and chat with Sheng Fei, and felt that the time passed very slowly.
