Zhang Sheng opened the book and started reading from the beginning.

"The name of this storybook is 'The Imperial Merchant's Substitute Husband'..."

This serialized storybook is only a short 10,000 words long. As Zhang Sheng read it, his emotions fluctuated.

After reading it, Zhang Sheng felt very emotional.

When I looked up, I saw that my father's eyes, which had always been emotionless, were now filled with emotions.

"Bai Mianyang is such a pitiful child. He was kicked out of the house and his father is sick. In order to pay for his father's medical treatment, he even had to perform in a brothel." Mr. Zhang murmured. He thought of his own daughter, who had also been working hard to take care of him.

"That person was so evil that she drugged Bai Mianyang and forced him to do something. This kind of person should be reported to the police and arrested."

"Alas, how did Bai Mianyang meet Meng Xin? Meng Xin just treats him as a substitute for Lu Ning. I hope Bai Mianyang doesn't fall in love with Meng Xin, otherwise he will be so sad when he finds out."

Mr. Zhang condemned Meng Xin, but also sympathized with Bai Mianyang. For a moment, his eyes turned red and tears almost came out.

Zhang Sheng's eyes also turned red.

That’s great! Finally there’s a story that can touch Dad’s emotions.

Zhang Sheng immediately agreed with him, and the father and daughter began to criticize Meng Xin and feel sorry for Bai Mianyang's pity.

"By the way, is there anything else?" asked Mr. Zhang.

"No more, it's only serialized here."

Mr. Zhang felt a little regretful. He wanted to know how the plot would develop later. If he could enter the storyline, he would definitely keep Bai Mianyang away from that scumbag Meng Xin.

On this side, Zhang Sheng decided to go to Fengya Bookstore to buy books and magazines every issue in the future.

That day, a relative came to visit Mr. Zhang at home, and Mr. Zhang immediately recommended the book to him.

Twelve-year-old Xu Heng has always wanted to be a storyteller like his sister when he grows up.

When he was young, his family was poor. Xu Heng's elder brother, Xu Shileng, supported the whole family with the money he earned from selling storybooks.

Now, after so many years, Xu Shi has long become a famous vernacular writer.

He has been cooperating with Taohua Bookstore for many years. Every time he publishes a storybook, it is compiled into a separate volume and sold in branch bookstores.

Whether it is the people in Renhe County or other places, the vast majority of people like his brother's storytelling books very much.

When Xu Shi learned that Xu Heng wanted to become a storyteller, he did not object.

He would buy one copy of every issue of books and magazines from all the bookstores in Renhe County and let Xu Heng read them.

Things that are too profound and too famous are not suitable for Xu Heng at the moment.

The storybooks serialized in books and magazines are almost all written by new authors, which are more suitable for a newcomer like Xu Heng.

That day, Xu Heng came home from school and went straight into his study, eating Yipinzhai pastries while flipping through the latest issue of books and magazines.

Until he turned to one of the books, he was so fascinated that he even forgot to eat the cakes.

After hearing the noise outside, Xu Heng guessed that Xu Shi had returned, so he immediately rushed out with the book in his arms.

While running, she shouted, "Brother, look, I found a very good storybook. It's really good."

Xu Shi had just returned from Taohua Bookstore after submitting his manuscript when he saw his beloved younger brother running out, shouting excitedly.

"You are not young anymore, why are you still so impulsive? In a few years, you will be getting married." Xu Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped the cake crumbs off his collar.

Hearing the word "marry", Xu Heng blushed: "You also said it would take several years, and you haven't even taken in a son-in-law yet."
