The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Dani, didn’t I give you a lot of clothes last time? Why aren’t you wearing them, and where are your shoes?"

Xu Dani’s ears turned red, showing she was at a loss, "Aunt Mingzhu, I’m not cold."

Although winter had just begun a few days ago, the highest temperature today was only about ten degrees. Shen Mingzhu, wearing a cashmere coat, still felt chilly.

When she looked at Xu Dani, her upper body was clad in an old coarse cloth shirt with holes, the pants she wore were far too short, and on her feet were half-worn straw sandals.

The skin exposed to the air was bluish-white, her lips were purplish, she kept sniffling, and her frail figure shivered non-stop in the cold wind.

Touching the back of her hand felt like touching a block of ice.

Shen Mingzhu quickly took an old jacket out of the car, "Put this on for now."

The soft and thick old jacket, with a blue floral fabric surface and a fine cotton lining, was both good-looking and warm, but Xu Dani avoided it as if it were a thorn.

"No need, Aunt Mingzhu, I don’t want it."

"Why not? Do you dislike it because there are patches on the clothes?"
