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

Gao Lixuan and his parents watched Zhang Xiuhua wolf down an apple, as if she hadn't seen an apple for thousands of years.

While eating the apple, his eyes were rolling around.

The beautiful picture that Gao Lixuan had just imagined disappeared in an instant, and he was left with only regret. Why had he been so blinded by greed and married such a shabby woman?

Gao Lixuan was still watching. His parents pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to go inside and talk.

The three of them watched the two men eat apples and went into the house to discuss countermeasures.

Old Gao was a little anxious. "She will definitely not leave easily. Look at her eyes. It's obvious that she wants to bankrupt our family."

Old Mrs. Gao was also a little angry. The apples were so expensive. They were placed on the table just for appearance. She ate them without asking. How could such a person be so uncultured! She glared at her son, "She is so shameless. She won't do anything until she gets the rabbit. Go back and discuss it with Susu. You have two children. She will definitely not divorce."

Gao Lixuan lowered his head. He knew his parents didn't have that much money, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and talk to them. They..."

"I will make arrangements for them and will not let them embarrass themselves at home!" Old Mrs. Gao had a cold face. She couldn't possibly keep these two at home. Who knew if they would steal things when they were not paying attention.

Gao Lixuan nodded.

The three of them discussed it, Gao Lixuan opened the door, Zhang Xiuhua had already finished an apple, threw the apple core into the trash can, and went to get the second one. Old Mrs. Gao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried over and pressed the apple with her hand, "Are you full?"

Zhang Xiuhua clapped her hands, "We haven't eaten yet?"

Old Mrs. Gao said aggrievedly, "I'll do it now. Don't touch the apples." Perhaps he was worried about her, so he took the apples and the plate away.

Gao Lixuan just felt bad and said, "I'll go back and discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for you!"

Old man Gao was sitting on the sofa. He was originally a little fond of his grandson, but now he became displeased after seeing what the mother and daughter did.

He didn't say anything, so Zhang Xiuhua naturally felt the silence. She stood up and looked around the living room, touching things here and there, asking how much the TV cost, where the sofa was bought. When she saw an antique display stand, she even called Jilin over to take a look, "Jilin, look how exquisite this is. Isn't it beautiful?"

Jilin didn't understand what his mother was doing. Obviously, the TV in this house was only for black people, and there was a color TV at home. She actually made such an exaggerated scream, as if she had never seen a TV before. He nodded in agreement, "Beautiful. How nice it would be if we had one at home."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect that Jilin, who looked honest, was actually a white-collar black. She looked at old man Gao expectantly.

Old Gao's face darkened. "You are in the Northeast, the journey is long, you can't bring this thing back with you, right?!"

Zhang Xiuhua sighed regretfully, "What a pity."

Jilin didn't understand what was so regretful, "Why not just ask the carpenter to make one?"

Zhang Xiuhua touched his head and said, "It costs money to hire a carpenter. Mom, we don't have money right now."

As he said this, he looked at Old Gao.

Old Gao turned his head and pretended not to hear.

Fortunately, not long after, Mrs. Gao brought the dishes over and asked them to eat.

Old Man Gao didn't want to sit at the same table with them, but Old Lady Gao pulled him over, so he had no choice but to sit over.

Zhang Xiuhua picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of food for Jilin first, then started eating it in big mouthfuls, completely ignoring the old couple.

The old couple's faces turned black. In their entire lives, they had never seen a daughter-in-law behave like this. It was really not worthy of being in public.

"Jilin, is it delicious?"

Jilin couldn't stop eating, "Delicious! Very delicious!"

Old Mrs. Gao was depressed. Although she was praised, she did not feel proud. She just felt like there was something stuck in her heart, which she could not get rid of.

After an unknown amount of time, seeing that they were almost full, Old Lady Gao finally spoke up, "Xiuhua, our house is too small to accommodate you. You should stay at the guesthouse for a few days."

"Sure. I don't want to bother you. But I don't have any money." Zhang Xiuhua asked for money with confidence.

Old Mrs. Gao was so angry, but she still had to coax her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll pay for it for you."

No! She had to get rid of these two plague gods as soon as possible. If she lived in their house, everyone in the building would know her identity. That would be embarrassing.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Xiuhua took the money handed over by Mrs. Gao and looked around the house reluctantly, as if she was thinking about what to take. She was like a thief who never leaves empty-handed.

Old Mrs. Gao just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so she took an apple and pushed her out the door.

Zhang Xiuhua took Ji Lin out and met some neighbors on the way. They looked at her curiously, but she didn't say anything but just smiled at them, which made the neighbors curious about their identities.

Not long after the mother and daughter left, some neighbors gathered together to gossip, "Who was that woman just now? Why did she bring a child with her?"

"I think it was Gao's family. Not long after, his second son came back. It must be his wife and children in the countryside. He has been to the countryside before."

These neighbors are all experts at gossip, and they can guess the whole story almost exactly based on just a few clues.

When everyone heard this, their eyes sparkled with gossip, "Oh, that's going to be lively. Su Su is not a pushover."

Zhang Xiuhua's appearance brought a lot of gossip to the family compound. In just a blink of an eye, everyone knew that Gao Lixuan had a wife in the countryside and came to visit with her children.

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. It has happened repeatedly in recent years.

They can't make it in the countryside anymore, so they come to live with their parents in the city, but their parents have remarried and won't want them anymore. The trilogy of visiting, quarreling, and fighting is just the first step, and the rest is even more exciting.

The old couple of the Gao family walked around outside and were asked by countless neighbors, "Is that the child of your second son's ex-wife? Wow, the child is this big already?"

The old couple were so embarrassed by the questions that they had to hide back home.

On the other side, Zhang Xiuhua took Ji Lin out of the family area and went straight to the guesthouse. The children had already eaten nearby and did not dare to go far for fear of getting lost.

Zhang Xiuhua told them that the progress was smooth and she would get the money within three days.

Several children were happy for her.

Zhang Xiuhua asked them where they were going to play tomorrow.

Everyone looked at Jidong.

Jidong took out his notebook and said, "Tomorrow I will take the bus to see the Bund, and then go eat xiaolongbao."

The children danced with joy.

"What did you have for lunch?"

"Shengjian, it's really delicious." Zhuzhu was the first to answer, "It's crispy and full of gravy. It smells so good."

Youcai nodded and said it was delicious. He was a little curious, "Where does the juice come from?"

"When the meat skin jelly is heated, it melts and becomes juice." When Zhang Xiuhua was a nanny, one of her employers was very picky and didn't like to eat buns from outside because they were worried that they were unhygienic, so she insisted that she make them. She learned this from someone else.

Youcai suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. But why is it so cold in the south? It's so hot here, unlike our northern winter where it's so cold."

Jidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Refrigerator freezer. Are you stupid? You asked such an idiotic question."

Youcai glared at him angrily and grabbed Jidong's neck. "Don't call me stupid! I thought they used a special method. Just like tofu, it can be formed without being put in the refrigerator."

His strength was too great, and he was tall. Jidong was no match for him at all, and he immediately admitted defeat, "Okay, okay, I was wrong."

Youcai then let go of his hand, "Don't think you are very smart. I am also very smart. I can cook many dishes, can you cook?"

As soon as he said this, he was suddenly stunned. Jidong has been doing this since he was a child, so how could he not know how to cook? He quickly tried to make up for it, "I mean, it's delicious."

Jidong didn't want to argue with him about this, "Yes! Every profession has its own expertise. I'm really not as good as you when it comes to cooking."

I felt embarrassed to hear him admit so quickly that he was smart and talented. "In fact, as long as you work hard, you can do well."

Zhuzhu saw this and whispered in Jilin's ear, "Brother Youcai is so shady. He compares his own expertise with that of Brother Jidong."

Youcai got angry and picked up his sister. "What are you talking about, little girl? If you don't give me face, I won't make you something delicious next time!"

Zhuzhu admitted defeat in a second and changed her words decisively, "Brother Youcai, I don't think you need to compete with Brother Jidong in cooking. He is not as good as you in sports. He can't even ski."

Youcai looked at Jidong in surprise, then he pinched his waist and laughed, "See? I am better than you in two aspects."
