Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days
Chapter 198 Teaching Children
Li Jianguo was about to get angry when Zhang Xiuhua grabbed his arm and dragged him back to the bedroom.
Li Jianguo was so angry that he was about to explode, but she pulled him back. He had no place to vent his anger, so he shook her hand off. "Why are you pulling me? This kid's monthly expenses are higher than my salary. He is being taken advantage of by others, but he is still laughing foolishly. I must beat him up!"
Zhang Xiuhua hugged his arm and said, "Why are you hitting me? That's all you know! Can't you communicate properly with your child?"
"I want to communicate with him properly, but he can't think straight." Li Jianguo feels that each child is different. If it were Jidong, he wouldn't need any guidance, and the child wouldn't suffer at all. But it's different for Youcai. Even if you break it down and explain it to him, he may not be able to listen.
"You have to talk it over nicely! He's seventeen now, and it's time to save face. If you beat him in front of so many people, he will lose face. He will go against you in the future, and you have to go to work and have no time to take care of him. I'm in my hometown and can't go to the county to take care of him. If he learns bad things, we don't know." Zhang Xiuhua patted his chest to calm him down. "Communicate well! Trick him into talking and ask him what's going on. Don't do it. Got it?"
Li Jianguo tried his best to suppress his anger, and finally nodded reluctantly after Zhang Xiuhua's persuasion, "Okay! I won't do it, I'll persuade him!"
"If your persuasion fails, don't do it. We will think of another way." Zhang Xiuhua repeatedly reminded.
Li Jianguo was reluctant, "I'm his father, beating him is for his own good."
"You can teach him well without beating him. Why can't you use a more roundabout way?" Zhang Xiuhua also got angry. "You only know how to beat your children. You should use your brain more when educating them, okay? If you beat them and make them bad, and then they go out to work and don't tell us when they encounter problems, will you be happy?"
Li Jianguo was at a loss for words. Thinking about how he didn't like talking about work with his parents, he suddenly understood what his wife meant and his expression finally softened. "Okay! I promise, I won't hit the child!"
Li Jianguo opened the door and went out. Jilin came to Li Jianguo with his savings in his hands, "Uncle Li, I have collected enough money. You can buy me another one later."
Li Jianguo rubbed his head and took the money from him, "Okay!"
He put the money in his pocket, waved to Youcai, and indicated that he should go out with him.
Youcai thought his father wanted to talk to him about something, so he left his younger brothers and sisters and followed his father out of the house.
"Dad? Where are you going?"
Li Jianguo walked in front, with bare forests on the left and endless fields covered with snow on the right. Youcai walked for a while, his hands and feet were frozen, and seeing that his father did not stop, he could not help but call him.
Li Jianguo stopped and asked, "Who do you usually go out to eat with?"
When Youcai heard his father's concern for him, he immediately smiled and answered simply, "Classmate. I have a better time."
“How are their grades?”
"A little worse than me." Youcai finally noticed that his father's expression was not right. He felt that his father should not make friends based on academic performance. "Dad, poor academic performance does not mean a bad character. I used to have poor academic performance as well."
Li Jianguo forced a smile and asked, "Did you pay for all the meals you had with them?"
"Of course not." Youcai smiled, "Whoever brings the money pays."
Li Jianguo decided to get to the bottom of it, "So do you pay more, or do they pay more?"
Youcai thought for a long time and said, "I haven't counted it. Maybe I paid more. We are all classmates and friends. It doesn't matter who pays. There is no need to worry about it."
His indifferent attitude made Li Jianguo's face turn pale. He really wanted to do it, but thinking of Xiuhua's instructions, he suppressed his temper and said, "Since it doesn't matter who pays, why don't you let them pay?"
"I'm not so poor that I can't even afford to eat, so why should I let others pay for it?" Youcai said disapprovingly, "Dad, didn't you teach me before that I should never take advantage of others? Why are you teaching me to take advantage of others now?"
Li Jianguo choked up. "I don't want you to take advantage of others, but I also don't want others to take advantage of you. You worked day and night to sell clothes at a stall during the summer vacation. Your voice is hoarse. Is it easy to make money? And you're going to waste it like this?!"
Youcai thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy. But Qiangzi and I are brothers, and we will stick together for each other. This little money is nothing, Dad, don't be so picky."
Li Jianguo was at a loss for words and wanted to persuade his son again, but Youcai's hands and feet were frozen stiff. He turned around and walked away, muttering, "Just for such a small matter, you called me out to the freezing cold. You really are my real father!"
Li Jianguo: “…”
I really want to beat someone up!
At the same time, Zhang Xiuhua went to the chicken coop to catch roosters. This year, there were more roosters. In order to eat fresh ones, she was reluctant to kill all the chickens at once.
When the children returned home, she planned to feed them some nourishment, so she caught two at a time.
Carrying the rooster out, Youcai came back from outside. When he saw the rooster, he immediately ran over and said, "Aunt Zhang, let me cook it."
Zhang Xiuhua handed him the chicken and motioned for him to catch a goose, "and stew it in an iron pot for the whole family to eat together."
Youcai went to cook happily. Zhang Xiuhua looked at his back and guessed that Li Jianguo must have failed.
Sure enough, when Youcai entered the kitchen, Li Jianguo had finally come back. He looked dejected and a little pitiful.
The two returned to the bedroom, and Zhang Xiuhua asked him how he persuaded her.
Li Jianguo told him everything, "I don't know who this kid learned this from, he keeps calling me brother. He even stabbed me in the back twice! What does he want to do?!"
"Children of this age value friendship more than anything else. Don't blame him." Zhang Xiuhua lowered her head and thought for a long time, "Since he thinks those brothers are not trying to cheat him, then why don't we cheat him?!"
Li Jianguo's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"Instead of letting others rip him off, we might as well help him spend it." Zhang Xiuhua thought that the best way to make Youcai realize that he only associates with fair-weather friends is to make him penniless. "As long as he has no money, those people will not look at him straight in the eye. The relationship will naturally be damaged."
Li Jianguo nodded thoughtfully, "You are right! But how to deceive him?! Tell him that we are short of money too? He won't be fooled."
His family runs a chicken farm and makes a lot of money. No matter how stupid Youcai is, he won't believe it.
Zhang Xiuhua saw the snowflakes outside and immediately thought of a good idea, "Got it!"
She leaned over and whispered something in Li Jianguo's ear.
After hearing this, Li Jianguo had a complicated expression, "This is not called cheating. This is called fair trade."
Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Yes! It's not called cheating. It's just helping him spend his money! This kid hasn't seen many good things. As long as you mention it to him, he will definitely be happy to pay for it."
Li Jianguo thought about it carefully and it was true. Youcai not only loves to eat, but also loves to play. He would definitely be tempted.
