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

The crackdown continued for a long time, and we heard from time to time that someone from a certain village had been arrested.

The hooligans who had stolen chickens from Zhangjia Village were also arrested.

Previously, people from Zhangjia Village protected them, but this time, it is a severe crackdown and no one can protect them. Even if the victim accepts money and wants to withdraw the lawsuit, it will not work. They must be arrested.

After being caught, nine out of ten people will go to jail, and if they have any connection with the underworld, they will be sentenced to death.

Zhang Xiuhua just listened for fun at first.

It was not until Li Jianguo came back that he told Zhang Xiuhua something.

The capital is also cracking down severely, and it started earlier than they did.

Every street is being cleared. Some people used to like to go out for a stroll, but now all the idle people stay at home at night and dare not go out.

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned. “Is the business of Youcai’s barbecue restaurant very bad?”

Li Jianguo nodded, "It must be bad. A lot of people were arrested."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. Doing business can make money, but the risks are also really high.

Fortunately, there is still some money at home, otherwise we would be too poor to even make ends meet.

Half a month after the snow, Zhang Xiuhua went to do business with Damao. She spoke to him in her not-so-standard Russian. The man spoke slowly, probably to take care of her.

Zhang Xiuhua also understood that the other party wanted to exchange the violin for her cotton coat.

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't play the piano, but that didn't prevent her from selling it, so she agreed.

The second time, she brought a cotton coat and the other person brought a violin. When they got home, Zhuzhu asked how to play the violin.

Zhang Xiuhua really didn't know how to do it. Zhuzhu was just trying to figure it out on her own.

Seeing how interested she was, Zhang Xiuhua wanted to hire a teacher to teach her this knowledge.

In elementary school music classes, teachers only teach how to sing and don’t teach how to play musical instruments.

Since Zhuzhu wanted to be an actress in the future, she had to learn the basics of music. Before Li Jianguo came back, she found a music teacher in the county town who was good at playing the violin.

The female teacher was in her early twenties and got pregnant less than half a year after getting married. Her mother-in-law wanted her to rest and wait for the birth of her baby, so she really quit her job. But after quitting, she found that life was not easy. It happened that Zhang Xiuhua went to the middle school to ask the teachers who could play the violin, and a colleague she knew recommended her.

The teacher's surname was Fang, and her name was Ruliu. Both her parents had passed away. She was very pretty, but had a soft personality.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Fang Ruliu to teach Zhuzhu for one hour every day.

The other party was pregnant, and Zhang Xiuhua didn't dare to let her come home, so she took Zhuzhu to her home for classes.

During the class, my mother-in-law didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't like staying at the other party's house. When Zhuzhu was in class, she would wander around the commune. Not to mention, because of the crackdown, the black market has become deserted recently. It used to sell all kinds of things, but now it only sells food and handicrafts, and it's still done secretly.

It seems that Fatty Wang has been sentenced, and these people are very scared, so they dare not come out.

Zhang Xiuhua had nothing to do anyway, so she brought some vegetables from her hometown to sell.

But in this situation, she didn't dare to sell it. She just walked back with the basket. When she met a patrol on the road, she just said that she was bringing vegetables to visit relatives, and the other party didn't say anything else.

On the way back, Zhang Xiuhua was in a bad mood. She could only sell her products at a higher price in such weather. But because of the policy, she didn't dare to sell them. She felt aggrieved.

"Mom? What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head and said it was okay. "How are you doing? Do you like the violin?"

Zhuzhu nodded wildly, "I like it!"

She tilted her head and asked, "I saw that after class, Teacher Fang was not happy at all. Why? Is it because I didn't learn well enough?"

Seeing that she took the blame on herself, Zhang Xiuhua hurriedly explained, "It's not your fault. Teacher Fang really likes to teach you. It's just that she didn't have a good life in that family."

Zhuzhu wondered, "Why is it bad?"

"Her mother-in-law is always meddling in everything, and she has a weak personality, so she is bullied. Zhuzhu, when you get married in the future, if you are unhappy, don't bear it. Don't be like her and think of yourself as a bullied daughter-in-law. We only live for 70 or 80 years. There is no need to live a frustrated life just for a man!" Zhang Xiuhua divorced Xu Dayong because she felt so frustrated after marrying him in her previous life. This life, she is determined not to live with her mother-in-law.

The gap between the two generations is too big. Moreover, the mother-in-law always makes her daughter-in-law suffer the same hardships she suffered in the past. She can't stand it and will quarrel with the husband. It affects the relationship between the couple. It is better not to live together in the first place.

Zhuzhu seemed to be thinking about something.

Next, Zhang Xiuhua traded with the other party again.

This time he took a lot of things. To be honest, Zhang Xiuhua was at a loss. Is this an oil painting? But she couldn't understand it.

She is a peasant, and she was a migrant worker in her previous life. She has no idea how to appreciate oil paintings, a high-end art. Is this painting good? She really doesn't know how to tell the difference!

But the other party only asked for half a bag of grain, and she felt that even if the painting was not very famous, she would not lose anything by exchanging it. Just treat it as a decorative painting for her home.

When Li Jianguo returned home, he found a new painting in the house. The signature on it was a Russian name. He guessed that it was the painting she had exchanged with Damao.

"Do you know this painter?"

Li Jianguo looked at it for a long time and shook his head, "I don't know! If it was really a famous painting, he wouldn't have exchanged it for food with you. He would have probably sold it long ago."

Zhang Xiuhua knew she was not lucky enough to get a bargain, but fortunately the painting was not expensive and looked pretty when hung in the house. She was not at a loss.

Zhuzhu was practicing a piece of music outside. Li Jianguo saw how obsessed she was and asked, "Why does she want to learn the piano again?"

"I traded the violin with someone. Zhuzhu was interested in it, so I found a teacher for her. She likes it very much." Zhang Xiuhua told him not to discourage her child's self-confidence. "If Zhuzhu wants to learn, let her learn. Among the children in our family, only Zhuzhu is lucky enough to learn some music."

The other children couldn't catch up with her.

Li Jianguo hasn't said anything yet, but she's still protecting him. It's a little funny. "Just learn. If she can't learn anymore, she'll just back off."

In fact, Zhuzhu really made up her mind.

Even if it is snowing heavily outside, she can still practice inside the house.

After the second snow, the team leader came to find Zhang Xiuhua and asked her to start selling the chickens from her chicken farm.

Because of the cold weather, egg production has dropped rapidly. At this time last year, 3,000 eggs were laid a day, but now there are only over 1,000. You know, the colder it gets, the less likely there will be a few hundred eggs. It's better to sell them early.

Zhang Xiuhua also agreed. So the team leader's daughter-in-law had one more job. In addition to transporting eggs, she also had to transport chickens every day.

Of course the captain was worried about her being alone, so he called several strong laborers to follow her.

Maybe the severe crackdown scared everyone, so no one stopped the car.

Now two hundred chickens are delivered to the supply and marketing cooperative every day, and there are less than ten thousand chickens here in total. It is estimated that by the end of the year, there will be almost enough.

Aunt Wang's job became easier as she fed fewer chickens every day. She counted the days on her fingers almost every day, calculating when she could pay the bill.
