I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 208 Conflict

After he left quickly, Dongfang Jin picked up the red string again and looked at it more and more. She even noticed that it came in other colors.

Perfect timing! She picked out a few extra and had Caiwei and Wenwen deliver them to the girls in the village.

This is a perfect gift; it won't seem out of place, and the parents will accept it.

Thinking of this, another little girl appeared beside her, her face flushed.

Of course, this redness wasn't normal; it was the red blush she had applied.

And there was a big red flower on her head. Seeing this outfit, Dongfang Jin suddenly thought of Lin Jiang's daughter, Lin Ziyu.

The second time I went to her house, she was wearing a big red flower in her hair, and her little face was rosy, like a matchmaker.

This one is even more exaggerated than Lin Ziyu; her lips are red, just like a vampire who has just drunk blood.

Were children in ancient times all this mature?

Thinking about it, I burst out laughing.

He looked at the two little girls beside him and said, "If you like this, ask your family to buy it for you."

The little girl wearing a big red flower stood with her hands on her hips, looking at her: "My cousin likes it, why don't you just give it to her? Why make your aunt buy it for her?"

I really like these red earrings, can you give me one too?

As she spoke, she reached for the pair of red agate earrings in the tray.

Dongfang Jin frowned. This child doesn't look very old, so why is he being so impolite?

Why should she give them the gifts?

They don't know them.

Song Duruo slapped the earring out of the little girl's hand and said with displeasure, "Li Xuejian, you can't be rude. We don't know this auntie. Why should she give it to you?"

If you like it, ask your mother to buy it for you.

With a loud "Wah...", the little girl burst into tears.

Her cries sounded so aggrieved, as if the whole world had bullied her.

Dongfang Jin: "..."

OK?

When Wang Mei heard her daughter crying, she stopped arguing with Liu Linghui and immediately came over.

Seeing the stunned Dongfang Jin, he reached out to hit her, but before her hand could fall, it was stopped by someone.

Wang Mei, like a ferocious lioness, pointed at Dongfang Jin: "You shameless woman, how dare you bully my daughter? You've got some nerve, haven't you? Don't you even know where you are?"

Dongfang Jin gracefully stood up and bowed to the man who had stopped the slap: "Thank you."

Wei Ying turned aside, dodging her bow, and used her body to shield herself from the prince.

Seeing his attitude, Dongfang Jin ignored him and turned to Wang Mei, saying coldly, "Madam, you're so sure I bullied your daughter without even asking?"

Wang Mei, with her neck stiff, said arrogantly, "If it's not you, then who is it? You're the only outsider here."

Dongfang Jin scoffed. This woman's appearance was truly disappointing. She looked just like the girl from the Iron Pear Blossom Clan. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were siblings.

"Then why don't you ask your daughter what she did? I'm sitting here picking out my jewelry, so why did she come up to me? I didn't call her over."

Liu Linghui walked over, bent down to look at her daughter, and asked seriously, "Xiao Ruo, you said not to be afraid, to tell the truth, and not to hide anything!"

Song Duoruo nodded and pointed at Li Xuejian: "She came over and took the earrings from this aunt's plate, saying that she liked them and asked the aunt to give them to her."

Ma Linyue walked to Lin Baiwei's side, raised her little head, and pointed to the tray on the low table: "Mom, Sister Ruo and I both like that red rope. Auntie said that if we like it, we should ask the adults to buy it for us."

Xuejian said to ask her aunt to deliver it, but we don't know this aunt.

Mother said not to take things from strangers, so my sister Ruo and I just stood there watching.

Song Duoruo nodded and said, "Mother, I just patted her hand to signal her to put down other people's things so she wouldn't be impolite, and she started crying."

After the two children finished speaking, the others understood.

Wang Mei, holding her daughter's hand, curled her lip, looking even uglier. She glanced at Dongfang Jin, noticing her simple, coarse clothes, and said disdainfully, "My daughter liking your things is a compliment to you."

"It's just a pair of earrings, why would I give her that? It's so stingy, it's obviously something that's not presentable."

Dongfang Jin was amused by her self-righteous attitude: "Do I know you?"

"Now that we know each other, don't we?" Wang Mei said shamelessly.

Dongfang Jin glanced at her sideways. This woman really dared to say anything. He said coldly, "I don't know you. Who are you? I don't want to know you at all!"

Wang Mei pointed at Dongfang Jin, stomping her foot angrily: "How can you be like this? My daughter is only three years old, what's wrong with you giving her a pair of earrings?"

That tone is just like how a concubine in a certain TV drama acts coquettishly towards her husband—it's disgusting.

Dongfang Jin shuddered and took a step back: "Are you dead?"

Wang Mei glared at her angrily: "How dare you talk like that?"

Dongfang Jin took another step back. This woman's tone was really too harsh, and he didn't know how these three beautiful ladies could stand it.

At this moment, Ruyi's words reached Dongfang Jin's ears: "Jin-jie, your senses are a hundred times stronger than others."

Are you complimenting my keen sense of smell?

【Yes!】

But I feel like you're insulting me.

【Have it? 】

Dongfang Jin stopped communicating with Ruyi and looked at the second die: "You're not dead, so why should I give your daughter something? This is a jewelry store. If your daughter likes something, you can just buy it for her. Why do you need me to give it to her?"

Wang Mei raised her chin and said somewhat shamelessly, "Didn't my daughter take a liking to what you have? It's not worth much money, so what's wrong with giving it to her?"

Dongfang Jin was speechless. This person's thought process was a bit confusing: "Did you leave your brain at home when you went out?"

"Get lost, shut up in front of me. Who do I know you? All you ever say is that you want me to deliver it."

Wang Mei put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "You think you're so kind as to ask me to deliver my daughter's things?"

Liu Linghui looked at Dongfang Jin apologetically and said, "Excuse me, may I ask if you...?"

Dongfang Jin looked at the dignified and beautiful woman, and her tone softened considerably, but she was not polite: "Take it if you like it, and pay for it yourself. These things are not mine."

Lin Baiwei smiled and politely asked, "Young lady, what about this red string?"

Dongfang Jin rolled her eyes at her: "Take it if you like it. I told you, this isn't mine. Go pay for it yourself."

Lin Baiwei smiled and thanked her, then stepped forward and took two pairs of red ropes.

Liu Lingzui took the pair of agate earrings.

Wang Mei pointed to the red rope: "Sister-in-law Ma, I'd like two pairs too, you pay." As she spoke, she reached out to take them from the tray.

Dongfang Jin reached out and stopped him, saying, "Sorry, everything here belongs to me."

Wang Mei pointed at Dongfang Jin: "You...you...you've got some nerve?"

Dongfang Jin smiled and looked at her: "These are all mine. I sold them."

Wang Mei pointed at the tray of things, her triangular eyes wide, and screamed, "You said you bought all of these?"

Dongfang Jin still smiled as she looked at her: "Not only that, I haven't finished buying yet."

He thought to himself, "I've figured out this woman. She's habitually overly friendly, habitually takes advantage of others, and habitually shameless. She's been spoiled."

If you want to annoy her, you have to buy her lots of things.

After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, Liu Linghui, Lin Baiwei, and Xie Wenna, who had been silent until now, looked at her seriously.

The woman had delicate features, fair skin, and bright, expressive eyes. Her small, delicate nose was exquisite, and her lips were cherry-red. These features graced her beautiful, pure, quiet, and elegant face. Combined with her smooth, beautifully contoured cheeks and flawless complexion, she was a stunningly beautiful woman of unparalleled beauty.

However, this outfit, paired with her appearance, did not look shabby at all; on the contrary, it made her appear even more elegant and refined.
