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

The real reason was not for the land as they said, but because Anrou had a conflict with her parents. Her brother was released from prison and hated her, so he asked her to move her household registration. Her parents also acquiesced, and Anrou was disappointed. In a fit of anger, she really moved her whole family's household registration.

Jianxin and the children’s household registration was transferred back, and Anrou’s household registration is with the unit.

Miao Xiaohua wasn't crying about her household registration. She slapped her thigh and scolded Li Jianxin, "Are you marrying into the family? Why does Xiangxiang have to have the last name An?"

Only then did the members realize that the twins in Li Jianxin's family were actually named Li and An respectively.

It had been kept a secret before. In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, Li Jianxin divided the twins into two classes. During half a semester, no one knew that the two children had the same surname.

But when the land was divided, the household registration book had to be used. The captain read out the names and found that they were wrong! Miao Xiaohua was standing nearby and naturally heard it, so a commotion broke out.

Li Jianxin tried to persuade her at first, but Miao Xiaohua cried louder and louder, so he simply stopped persuading her and squeezed out of the encirclement with the two children.

Miao Xiaohua grabbed her son and asked him what was going on and why he did that.

Li Jianxin almost made Miao Xiaohua turn over with anger. "In fact, both children originally had the surname An! If my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't hate us, I would never have changed Ruirui's surname back!"

Miao Xiaohua was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about. You're not marrying into the family?!"

"So what if I'm a son-in-law? Aren't you also a son-in-law of the Li family? Will your child have your surname?!" Li Jianxin looked at her straight, "It doesn't matter if you look down on me, but don't look down on yourself! Don't forget your last name! Is your last name Li?!"

The crowd was in an uproar, looking at Li Jianxin with a bit of surprise. He had always been an outlier in the village, sometimes speaking and doing things differently from others. But they never thought that Jianxin would dare to do this. Heretic was not enough to describe him. He was simply possessed by a ghost!

Miao Xiaohua slapped his thigh and said that he was bewitched by a vixen.

Everyone thought it was unlikely, because An Rou seldom returned to the village. What kind of vixen could flirt hundreds of miles away?!

Li Jianxin saw that everyone was looking at him, and he didn't think he did anything wrong. "I married An Rou without giving her a single cent of betrothal gift. We agreed that if she gave birth to a child, I would raise it. But An Rou has been working outside these years, she supports the family, and I raise the child. What's wrong with the child having her last name?"

Anrou gave the two children the surname An in order to inherit their parents' property. But his father-in-law and mother-in-law were jealous of them for sending their son to jail. They thought they would not have a share of the property in the future, so he changed Ruirui's surname to Li. Anrou contributed to the family, and so did he. It was fair for each of them to have one.

"You keep saying that men and women are equal. But aren't you a woman? Do you look down on women?! Since men and women are equal, why can't the child take the wife's surname?!" After Li Jianxin scolded his mother, he looked at the members who sympathized with him, "Don't look at me like that! When your children go out and see the world, they will look down on you. The most stable relationship in this world is not between husband and wife, not between father and son, not between mother and son, but between interests. An Rou is an official outside, why does she give me the money she earns and not divorce me? Because I take care of her children and I love them. If it were you, if your wife were making money outside, you would be the first to kick you out!"

Li Jianxin raised his head and turned away.

The members were talking about it.

"Is Jianxin crazy? How dare he talk back to me like this? How unfilial!"

"Is his brain burnt out? His child actually has his wife's last name?"

"I think Jianxin is very smart. Look at those educated youths. They had several children in the countryside and ran away, abandoning their wives and children. What about Jianxin? What did he have? If the child's surname was not An, Anrou would have divorced him long ago."

"Yes! I heard that An Rou is an official in the provincial capital. It seems that her position is quite high." They really didn't know what kind of official she was. They seldom even went to the county town, let alone the provincial capital.

The members of the cooperative were talking about it. Miao Xiaohua covered her chest and complained to the sisters she knew well, scolding her two sons for being unfilial.

The eldest son's family didn't know how to honor her when they made delicious food. Actually, this statement is a bit biased. It's not that the eldest son's family is unfilial. At the beginning, they would give her whatever they made delicious food. But after giving it to her, she would scold them, saying that they wasted food. After the family split up, they were not eating from the same pot. They worked hard to make food for her, but she didn't appreciate it. She also scolded them, which made the eldest son's wife so angry that she didn't let her give it to her anymore.

Li Jianxin was even more disobedient than his elder brother, because he didn't listen to Miao Xiaohua at all. Moreover, he confronted her in front of so many people, making her lose face.

What else can the members say? They can only persuade him kindly, "Jianxin has that kind of temper! You know that."

Li Jianxin has always been an outlier in the village. He was lazy before marriage, earning only seven work points as a grown man. He was also lazy. After finally getting married and having a child, although he spoiled the child to the sky, he had limited money, so no matter how much he spoiled the child, it was still within his range.

Now, he actually let the child take his wife's surname. What did he mean by that? In fact, he just wanted his father-in-law's money and despised his biological parents for not giving him much money.

Everything is about money, regardless of the Li family's reputation. That's a bit too snobbish!

No matter how much they disliked Li Jianxin in their hearts, on the surface, everyone still advised Miao Xiaohua to think more positively. What else could they do?

Ask Li Jianxin to change the child's surname? That's a disaster! An Rou can divorce him. If he loses An Rou's salary, he is not a very hardworking person. If his life gets bad, he will turn the family who gave him the idea upside down! The whole village will be in turmoil. He can do such a thing!

They could persuade Miao Xiaohua to be more open-minded, "After all, there is still a child with the surname Li. Jianxin's family line is not cut off!"

Miao Xiaohua cried for a while and this was the only way she could comfort herself.

Aunt Wang was quite shocked by what happened to Li Jianxin.

Zhang Xiuhua was relieved. Because she had suggested this to them several years ago, but Li Jianxin had kept it a secret, so Miao Xiaohua didn't know about it. Now everyone knew about it, and except for Miao Xiaohua who was a little emotional, there wasn't much of a stir.

**

It lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon when everyone had finished dividing the land. The next step was to actually divide the fields.

But everyone was hungry, and it was still early for Zhang Xiuhua, who was in her forties.

So she went home with Li Jianguo. Jilin and Zhuzhu had already prepared dinner and were waiting for them to come back.

Upon learning that Zhang Xiuhua chose the forest land, Zhuzhu was almost crazy with joy, "Mom! Did you know that I love to eat fruits, so you asked for so much forest land?"

Her eyes were shining, and she was obviously moved by her mother.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to lie to her child, "It's not true. I just think growing fruit trees makes more money than farming. Of course, you can eat them too! All you can eat!"

Zhuzhu was not disappointed. "What kind of fruit trees do we grow at home? Grapes?"

The grape vines at home have just been planted and have not sprouted yet. I don’t think there will be any grapes this year.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to take care of grapes, because it was too much trouble and difficult to transport. She wanted to grow fruits with a long shelf life. That way, every time Li Jianguo came back, he could take a train to the capital to transport them. If it was grapes, they would be squeezed and rotten on the way. It was not cost-effective.

“I want to grow blueberries and gala apples.”

Zhuzhu was quite happy to hear about Gala fruit, but she was confused when she heard about growing blueberries. "It's so sour! Why grow it?!"

"It tastes better with sugar! It's like mountain sorrel coated with a layer of sugar, so delicious." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile.

Zhuzhu thought about it carefully and it made sense, "Okay then."

Li Jianguo knew that Zhang Xiuhua wanted to grow blueberries, so he helped her choose the varieties. "I heard that Japan has cold-resistant blueberries, which are sweeter and tastier than our wild ones. We can grow their varieties. We can also sell them to Japan and earn foreign exchange!"

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it and agreed, "Okay. But the Japanese varieties are very expensive, right? Let's buy an acre of land first, and then we can grow our own seedlings!"

"Okay!" Li Jianguo called his comrade and asked him to help order blueberry seedlings.

As for Gala fruit seedlings, there is no need to select them from abroad. Domestic Gala fruits are sweet and have high yields, making them very suitable for planting here.
