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

After Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua talked about this, he gave her some money. Every time he came back, he would bring extra money, and Zhang Xiuhua was used to it.

She was counting the money when Ji Lin rushed in from outside, scaring Zhang Xiuhua. She quickly pulled Li Jianguo's clothes to cover the money.

If Jilin knew that the family was rich, the child's character would not be mature enough and he might waste the money. She did not plan to let the children know the family situation for the time being. Anyway, he would not feel inferior in the village, after all, there were many families with worse conditions than his.

Zhang Xiuhua blamed Jilin for being reckless, "Why did you suddenly rush in? Didn't mom tell you to knock before coming in? Why are you so rude?!"

Ji Lin scratched his head, stepped back, and knocked on the door again, "Uncle Li, Mom, can I come in?"

Zhang Xiuhua put the money away, sat up straight, and shouted, "Come in!"

Ji Lin pushed the door open, but he didn't come to find Zhang Xiuhua, but to complain to Li Jianguo, "Uncle Li, Zhuzhu did something really stupid."

He chattered on and on about what Zhuzhu had done.

Li Jianguo suddenly realized what was going on. He wondered why so many children suddenly came to his house. It turned out that Zhuzhu had invited them to her house.

When he heard that Zhuzhu didn't want new clothes or shoes in order to treat guests, he, who had always been pragmatic, thought that Zhuzhu was stupid. She was willing to sacrifice herself for her vanity. If she was not disciplined, she would definitely do many stupid things in the future.

He put his clothes down and was about to rush out, but Zhang Xiuhua grabbed his arm and signaled Ji Lin to go out first.

Ji Lin nodded obediently, and when he was about to leave, he heard his mother asking him to close the door, and he closed it immediately.

Li Jianguo looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "Why did you pull me? I didn't want to hit the child, I just wanted to reason with her."

"If you talk to her with a stern face, she will definitely be scared." Zhang Xiuhua couldn't help but understand him. People who have been to the battlefield are particularly violent when they get angry. Ordinary people would be so scared that their legs would tremble at the sight of him. Zhuzhu is still an ignorant child, and her psychological quality is even worse. "Don't scare her to tears."

"She's not that weak, is she?!" Li Jianguo's voice faded. Because Zhuzhu was really young. It was really possible. But he didn't want to admit it.

"You... just like rough education. You always hit her with a stick and use a commanding tone. This will make her develop a people-pleasing personality. She won't have her own opinions." Zhang Xiuhua does not agree with beating children.

"But she was stupid!" Li Jianguo felt that there was a reason for his anger.

"Didn't you do anything stupid when you were a kid?" Zhang Xiuhua said to him confidently. Not to mention Li Jianguo, she did a lot of stupid things when she was a kid. She had no money at that time, and some villagers praised her, saying that she was efficient at work. She was ignorant at that time, so she really thought that they were stupid, and she worked hard for them. She was exhausted.

Li Jianguo thought about it carefully and couldn't refute it. "I didn't have a father to teach me. Zhuzhu did have a father to teach her."

"Is your teaching to talk to her from a superior position and reason with her?" Zhang Xiuhua rolled her eyes.

Li Jianguo sat on the kang angrily, "So what you mean is to just leave her alone? Let her do whatever she wants?! She's giving away new clothes and shoes just for a little vanity."

Zhang Xiuhua secretly glanced outside and motioned him not to speak. She tiptoed to the door and suddenly opened it. Jilin almost fell into the house due to inertia. His face turned red and he smiled awkwardly, "Mom, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he ran away!

Zhang Xiuhua closed the door and then said to Li Jianguo, "I think Zhuzhu must regret it. Especially these few days, Jilin always wears new clothes and new shoes in front of her, and she stares at Jilin from time to time. She must regret it. The torment in her heart is more effective than your harsh criticism."

Knowing that you will regret it, you still have to do it? Is there something wrong with your brain? Li Jianguo was skeptical.

"If you don't believe me, just watch for yourself!" Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "You have to let Zhuzhu know that vanity comes at a price. She won't dare to be too vain next time."

Li Jianguo thought for a while, "Okay! Then I will observe for two days. If she really regrets it, I won't criticize her. If she doesn't regret it, then..."

He didn't say anything else. Zhang Xiuhua understood what he had not yet said and was determined to criticize and educate him.

People in the 1960s and 1970s valued simplicity. They especially could not accept children wasting things. In Li Jianguo's opinion, Zhuzhu's behavior was more serious than Youcai's fight with others.

But Zhang Xiuhua has confidence in Zhuzhu. Because the praise from classmates will fade away with time, but other people's new clothes are always in front of her. Whenever she sees Jilin showing off his new clothes, she will regret why she gave up the new clothes and shoes.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded decisively, "I will definitely not stop you then."

After they discussed it, they came out of the room. Zhuzhu was no longer in the main room, as she had gone out to play.

When it got dark at night, Jilin wore his sandals to show off to Li Jianguo, "Uncle Li, these shoes glow."

It was the first time that Li Jianguo had seen this kind of shoes, and the texture was really good. Unlike the current sandals which are made of hard plastic, the sole was soft and it flashed when he walked.

"Great! These shoes are really nice. We can't make them in our country yet. Are they imported from abroad?" Li Jianguo asked Zhang Xiuhua.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiuhua answered confidently.

Li Jianguo secretly looked at Zhuzhu and saw that she was staring at Jilin's shoes with her lips pursed, and she was obviously envious.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "In fact, I have seen a pair of sandals that are especially suitable for Zhuzhu. The shoes are very beautiful, with bows on them and sparkling diamonds on the shoes. They are very beautiful. Just like the princess shoes in cartoons."

She did have a pair of princess shoes like this in her space, but they were not left by Jidong's child. She was planning to buy them for Jilin's child. Jilin was abducted in his previous life, and they were very distant from her. On the child's birthday, she wanted to buy a pair of beautiful shoes for the child. Unfortunately, before she could give them away, she was reborn.

Now she is using it to tempt Zhuzhu. She shakes her head and sighs, "It's a pity Zhuzhu doesn't want new clothes. So I didn't buy any."

After hearing this, Zhuzhu's eyes showed desire, longing, and a little regret. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and walked into the room.

Zhang Xiuhua came into the room and chatted with her, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Zhuzhu hugged the quilt, her eyes red, "Mom, do you think I did something wrong?"

"It's not right or wrong." Zhang Xiuhua hugged her, "Everyone values ​​different things. You think face is important, but others may think benefits are important. There is no right or wrong."

"But they all blame me. They think I'm stupid and dumb." Zhuzhu pouted.

"Are you stupid then?"

"I'm not stupid. I'm the class monitor." Zhuzhu said confidently.

"I don't think you're stupid either. You're just afraid of having your attention stolen. You like to enjoy the gazes of others who trust and like you." Zhang Xiuhua smoothed her hair. "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think the only bad thing about you is that you sacrifice your own feelings to satisfy others. No matter how much you like something, you have to know your limits. It's like mom likes you so much and wants to take you with her every day, but that's not possible because you still have to study and have your own friends. Mom can't keep you in her pocket like a little baby. Mom has to learn to let go and let you go to school and make friends."

Zhuzhu lowered her head and thought about it, and finally understood what she meant, "Mom, I understand. I will never wrong myself to fulfill others' wishes in the future."

"That's right! You must always love yourself the most. Do you understand?" Zhang Xiuhua touched her head.

Zhuzhu nodded her little head, "I understand!"

"Go to sleep!"

Zhuzhu lay down, Zhang Xiuhua covered her with a blanket, and was about to turn off the light and leave, but Zhuzhu turned around and asked, "Mom, can I still have those princess shoes?"

"Maybe next year." Zhang Xiuhua smiled at her.

"Ok!"
