Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny. Baolin finished his homework and asked to watch TV for a while.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, and Baolin went back to the room to watch TV.

It was such a hot day, but the child stayed in the house just to watch TV.

Baolin couldn't stand the heat anymore, so he ran back to his room and took out the electric fan to cool down.

After feeding the chickens, Zhang Xiuhua carried out the eggs and then took out a notebook to register the eggs she had picked up today.

Baolin came out of the house, "Mom, do you know how to skate?"

"I know!" Zhang Xiuhua saw many children skating in her previous life.

"Mom, I saw a competition on TV. They were skating very smoothly. Mom, I want to skate too." Baolin looked at her expectantly.

It’s not that Zhang Xiuhua can’t afford roller skates, but she pointed to the ground and said, “You have to skate on concrete at least. The brick road at home won’t work. You’ll fall.”

Baolin hadn't really thought about this question, "Then can we lay a cement floor in our house?"

"The concrete path near the door is not enough for roller skating. It needs to be very spacious." Zhang Xiuhua thought for a while, "When you have enough points, you can ask your uncle to buy you a pair of shoes. In winter, you can go to the river to skate however you want. That place is very spacious!"

Baolin thought of the big river where he had fished before. When it was the coldest, the ice was more than 40 centimeters thick, which was indeed suitable for skating.

“How much are the skates?”

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't know. She gave a rough number, "Maybe fifty or sixty!"

Baolin also saved a lot of money. Although her grades were not as good as Jidong's, she was still in the top three in the class. She had saved more than 40 yuan in the past few years. In addition, she didn't have a ticket, so she could hardly spend the money she had. She only bought some snacks at the door occasionally, and kept most of the money in her hands.

She counted her own small treasury, borrowed some from Yaoyao, and collected 60 yuan, and asked her mother to buy her a pair of ice skates. She wanted to skate then.

Zhang Xiuhua agreed.

When Li Jianguo came back from outside, she asked him to buy a pair of roller skates in size 34.

Li Jianguo nodded and agreed, "I wonder how Jidong and the other two are doing in the county?"

"Why don't you stop by to see them before you go to work tomorrow!" Zhang Xiuhua reminded him in time when she saw how worried he was.

"The county town is so big, I don't know if I can run into him." Li Jianguo was a little pessimistic. But he decided to go to the factory where Youcai had been before and take a look, maybe he was there.

The two were talking when they heard a quarrel outside, which came from far away and was mixed with crying.

what happened? !

As soon as Zhang Xiuhua walked out of the house, she saw Baolin, who had just been watching TV in the living room, had already rushed out. Zhang Xiuhua saw that she had not even turned off the TV, so she turned it off.

Yaoyao, who was doing homework in the yard, also followed.

"What's wrong? It seems like someone is crying?" Zhang Xiuhua walked out of the yard and looked out the door. Where is the person? She just heard crying, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Aunt Wang Er also came out from next door, glanced into the alley, and waved at her, "It seems that something happened to the Zhang family!"

Zhang family? Zhang Xiuhua was startled. Zhang Juemei's family? What's going on in their family? !

All the members of the cooperative came out and gathered at Zhang's house. Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianguo to help look after the chicken farm, and watched the fun side by side with Aunt Wang.

When we arrived at Zhang’s door, almost all the villagers were crowded there.

The weather was too hot, and the team leader was afraid that the members would get heat stroke, so he stopped them from working during the hottest time of the day. Now everyone was watching the fun with great enthusiasm, not even a hint of tiredness.

"What's going on?" Aunt Wang pushed the people standing outside.

"I heard that Zhaodi ran off with someone!" A member clapped his hands, his eyes full of gossip, "Her husband came to settle accounts with the Zhang family. The two families are fighting! This is terrible!"

Everyone was a little surprised to hear that Zhaodi had run away with someone. She ran away after only one year of marriage? This girl was really bold!

Zhang Xiuhua was a little surprised, "Is this family not good to Zhaodi?"

The members really didn't know. But Aunt Wang curled her lips, "If it's good! Can Zhaodi run away?! That girl is not stupid! Who knows! She might have done something immoral!"

While they were discussing in the back, the people inside had already started fighting.

When people from other villages came to Lijiatun to fight, the villagers could not just stand by and watch. The people standing in front pulled them back and stopped them from moving.

Fighting didn't work, but arguing was fine! So both sides started to reason.

The Liu family said that Zhaodi ran away with someone, and the Zhang family must compensate!

The Zhang family said that your son likes to beat his wife, and Zhaodi was almost beaten to death and had to run away!

"We haven't asked you to compensate for our daughter yet, and you're coming to me to settle the score!"

When the Liu family heard this, they immediately flew into a rage, "Have you ever beaten your daughter-in-law? Whose daughter-in-law ran away after being beaten a few times?!"

There are not many families in Northeast China that beat their wives! If a man really dares to beat his wife, the whole family will support the woman and let her fight back! Anyway, you can't be a coward!

But both families moved here from other places, and they have a high tolerance for domestic violence. Otherwise, the two families would not have become relatives.

In the end, the two companies failed to reach an agreement.

The Liu family blamed the Zhang family and insisted that they compensate them for their daughter-in-law.

It was impossible for Lijiatun to drive people away. They could only prevent the Liu family from taking action in Lijiatun, but they could not control the Liu family's visiting relatives.

This excitement lasted for three hours, but in the end no conclusion was reached.

The members had to go to work soon and had no time to read on.

Aunt Wang whispered to Zhang Xiuhua, "I think this time the Zhang family will have to compensate the Liu family with a daughter-in-law."

Zhang Xiuhua's heart sank, "My second daughter will marry him?"

"Of course!" Aunt Wang curled her lips. "His second daughter is old enough to get married, but the gift he wants is too high, and there is no dowry, so no one is willing."

Recently, the one-child policy has been promoted. In Northeast China, when a girl marries, she will be given a certain amount of dowry. Rich people will give double the amount, and poor people will give half. But there are very few who don't give any dowry at all.

Moreover, the bride price he asked for was very high, so no one was willing to marry his daughter.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. If the bride price is too high and the woman is not allowed to take it back, the man will feel that he has been cheated and will bully the woman, and the future life will be difficult. If it is too low, it will not work either, because the man will think the woman is cheap and does not know how to cherish her.

This matter soon came to a conclusion. Just as Aunt Wang had guessed, the Zhang family married their second daughter Pan Di to the Liu family.

They said they were marrying her, but in fact they were sending her away. They didn’t even hold a wedding ceremony, they just took her away.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Aunt Wang, "Who did Zhaodi elope with? You need a letter of introduction to buy a train ticket now, where can she go?!"

"I heard from the Liu family that she might have run off with the boy who sells jelly. That family is so poor! They couldn't even find a wife, so they kidnapped Zhaodi." Aunt Wang sighed, "I don't know where they ran off to. If they went to the south, maybe their life would be better."

"Maybe!"

When the two were chatting animatedly, Zhang Juemei came over from afar, as if she wanted to find her for something.
