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

Before Zhang Xiuhua went to the mountain, the village chief came to her first. He came to find Li Jianguo and wanted him to invest in the purchase of chicken farming equipment for the village.

Li Jianguo was stunned. "We are raising chickens. Why are you selling them just like that?"

The village chief glanced at Zhang Xiuhua, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he smiled and said, "Chickens may not be easy to sell this year, and many villages have opened chicken farms. The villagers want to invest in Youba. So they want to sell the equipment."

Li Jianguo suddenly realized, but he still shook his head, "We don't have money. I just bought a lot of blueberry seedlings, which are two-year-old seedlings shipped from Japan. They are very expensive. We also raised hundreds of foxes and raccoon dogs. We spent all our savings. We also have six children to raise. The tuition fees are not small."

At that time, universities were free of tuition and provided living allowances, but elementary, middle and high school were not free and the fees were not cheap. He also had three children in school. It cost a lot of money.

When the village chief learned that he had no money, he was a little disappointed and turned away.

Zhang Xiuhua learned the purpose of the village chief's visit and did not say anything to Li Jianguo. She turned around and went back to the orchard. Out of sight, out of mind.

The pink and white flowers on the mountain stood out against the lush green leaves, and the grass under the trees was kept clean. Li Jianguo was more capable than her. She only laid reflective film on the ground when the fruits were hanging, but he cleared all the weeds in the orchard. I don't know when he started to pull them out.

In addition to clearing the grass, he also paved paths in the open spaces so that people would not slip easily when transporting the fruits down the mountain.

She walked in and looked at the blueberry trees. It was the flowering season. The blueberry flowers looked a bit like lily of the valley, pure white with green stamens, and the bunches were particularly cute.

This blueberry seedling is a two-year-old seedling and will bear fruit this year. The one before that is a one-year-old seedling and is very small, so it will not bear fruit this year.

Going further ahead is the forest where ginseng is planted. After a month, the ginseng has sprouted, although it is very small, but the growth of branches and leaves is a success.

She wandered around the orchard for two hours before returning home. When she got home, Li Jianguo told her, "Jidong just called and said he can come back next week."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "Why next week? He can come back during the summer vacation."

"That expert will come to our town for a demonstration next week. I want Jidong to expose his scam in front of everyone!" Li Jianguo sighed, "Recently, the village has gone crazy for investment."

Zhang Xiuhua was just about to ask what kind of crazy magic? Selling chicken farming equipment? Or...

Before she opened her mouth, she heard a quarrel outside. She walked out of the room and saw that they were visiting relatives and going back to their parents' home. Zhang Xiuhua pointed at the wives and said, "Are they going back to their parents' home to borrow money?"

Li Jianguo nodded, "Not only do people borrow money, some also want to borrow from loan sharks."

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes widened. "Loan shark?"

Although the state strictly prohibits usury, it is still common among the people. Borrowing usury will ruin your family! Those people are all ruthless!

"Where is the chicken farm?" Zhang Xiuhua asked.

“People in our village want to sell them, but with so many chickens, they can’t be sold all at once.” Li Jianguo spread his hands.

"Can they go to the bank for a loan?" Zhang Xiuhua felt that these people could do this and the whole village must be crazy!

"Bank loans don't work that fast! They'll be here next week to sign the contract. It's too late."

Zhang Xiuhua actually breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these people came quickly. If they had come a little later, the bank would have been able to lend them money. After all, the equipment was worth a lot of money.

As the two were talking, the villagers all ran into the village, as if something big had happened.

Aunt Wang invited Zhang Xiuhua to watch the fun. Although the two had a disagreement before, Aunt Wang felt that this conflict was nothing.

In the words of Aunt Wang Er, "Xiuhua, if you don't trust the experts, I won't force you. But you can't stop me from making money."

What else could Zhang Xiuhua say? If she continued to say this, she would be blocking her father's path to wealth.

Because she didn't say anything, Aunt Wang scolded her in her heart, but her attitude remained the same as before, "Oh, something big happened in Xiangxiang's family."

Xiangxiang and Baolin were in the same class, in the first year of high school. The high school had a long and short week system, and she always came back during the long week. This week was the short week, but she came back.

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes lit up. Yes, Xiangxiang was reborn, and she must know how terrifying this scam is.

Maybe Xiangxiang has a solution!

She followed Aunt Wang to Xiangxiang's house.

Xiangxiang's family is building a house. Yes, that's right, her family plans to tear down the adobe house and rebuild it. Because her family secretly planted fungus in the forest a few years ago, and they made a lot of money from planting fungus last year. After making money, they want to build a house. This is also human nature.

I don’t know what’s going on, I’ve bought all the bricks, but I don’t plan to build the house anymore.

Aunt Wang Er knew the situation, "Xiangxiang's parents want to sell the bricks and invest in Oil Tycoon."

Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her forehead. No wonder Xiangxiang was making a fuss. Instead of building a good house, she gave it to a liar.

The door of Xiangxiang's house was crowded with villagers, all craning their necks to look up. It turned out that Xiangxiang was sitting on the roof of her house, holding a kitchen knife against her neck, "If you dare to invest in that oil tycoon, I will die in front of you!"

Xiangxiang's parents advised their daughter not to be impulsive, "Don't do anything stupid, talk it over nicely. At worst, we can just invest less!"

"No! You are not allowed to invest at all! You put the money in my passbook. I will manage the money! Otherwise, I will die!"

The villagers below were whispering to each other, blaming Xiangxiang for being too impulsive.

"Investing in Oil Tycoon was also to make more money. She tried to stop me. How could this child be so ignorant!"

"One of you should go up and take the knife out of the child's hand."

"No! She has pulled the ladder up, and we can't go up."

The villagers were talking about it. Zhang Xiuhua looked at Xiangxiang who was very excited. This child was always calm and composed. But she was so excited today. Was this trick hard to uncover? Or did it last for a long time, so she had to resort to this desperate measure? !

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct, and her heart felt cold.

In the end, Xiangxiang's parents gave their daughter the upper hand and agreed not to invest anymore and to give the passbook to her for safekeeping.

Xiangxiang then jumped down from the roof.

After Xiangxiang's father took the knife away, he hit his daughter's back hard and said, "You scared me to death! How could you be so fierce? Suicide is not just a joke."

Xiang Xiang cried out in pain, clutching the passbook tightly, "Who told you not to listen to me? I am doing this for your own good!!"

Xiangxiang's mother stopped her husband from beating her, "Alright! If you don't want to vote, then don't vote. This money of ours was also earned by Xiangxiang. Just pretend that you didn't have it in the first place!"

After the fun, everyone dispersed.

Aunt Wang also noticed it, "Xiangxiang is such a ruthless kid. She dares to do such a thing. It's so scary."

Zhang Xiuhua looked back at the yard and saw Xiangxiang hugging her mother's arm and acting coquettishly. It seemed that she either really wanted to commit suicide or was just trying to scare her parents.

Zhang Xiuhua only stayed at home for three days. During these three days, she collected some data. Eighty percent of the more than 200 households in the village wanted to invest in Oil Tycoon. Twenty percent of them did not have money. There were few people as clear-headed as her.

When she was leaving, Li Jianguo was still discussing with Li Xingjia how to expose the liar's tricks.

Yes, Li Xingjia was not fooled. It was not that he was reborn, but he used to study science and knew that this thing could not be developed by a driver.

Yes, that’s right, the expert who developed the “Oil King” is actually just a driver.

Li Xingjia was so good at science before, but he couldn't guarantee that he would not do research for many years, and suddenly one day he could develop a good thing like "Oil King". This is not in line with common sense.

But he was just an agricultural student, and his relationship with the villagers was ordinary, and no one in the village believed him. Fortunately, he had Li Jianguo, a like-minded person.
