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

"Yaoyao's grades have dropped."

Li Jianguo showed Yaoyao her first monthly exam results. "I heard that she took all the subjects in her freshman year. She was divided into classes in her sophomore year. She was ranked third in the class when she entered the school, but now she has dropped to tenth place."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at the score. Yaoyao was not like Jilin, who was not good at one subject. Her grades were average in junior high school. But now? Her grades dropped so fast! There must be something fishy going on!

"Have you asked Yaoyao what she said?" Zhang Xiuhua looked at him sideways.

Li Jianguo nodded. "I asked her. She said that she had too many subjects to study in her first year of high school and she didn't have enough energy. That's why her grades dropped. But all the students in the class had to study so much, so why did her grades drop while others didn't?"

Zhang Xiuhua frowned, "Have you asked the teacher?"

"I haven't had time to ask the school yet. I just saw this report card by accident." Li Jianguo was worried that Yaoyao would be bullied. This child is introverted, unlike Zhuzhu, who would make a scene and let the whole village know if she got a little bruise. Yaoyao didn't dare to go home and tell him when she was bullied.

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "I'd better ask."

Li Jianguo nodded, "Okay."

At night, Zhang Xiuhua did not go back to her room to sleep, but went to Yaoyao's room to talk to her about study. "I went to the sports team to see Baolin this time, and she asked about you."

Yaoyao looked a little nervous, but also a little excited. "How is she? Is skating tiring?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiuhua asked her, "Have you encountered any difficulties in your studies? I hired a tutor for Jilin, do you want me to hire one for you as well? You are in high school now, and you have to make up for any courses you missed, otherwise the gap will get bigger and bigger."

Yaoyao was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No. I don't need extra classes. I plan to study science, so it doesn't matter if I'm not good at history and politics, right?"

Zhang Xiuhua looked at her and said, "Your grades are not only declining in history and politics, but also in other subjects." She talked about the past, "When I was a child, my classmates bullied me, and it was my brother who helped me fight off those bad guys. Have you ever encountered such a thing?"

Yaoyao was stunned for a long time, "No! No one bullies me! My classmates are very nice to me."

Seeing that she didn't look fake, Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't look like school bullying. So what was going on? !

Since Zhang Xiuhua couldn't get the answer, she wanted Zhuzhu to be a little spy.

This kid is always very shrewd, maybe we can trick him into revealing his secret!

When Zhuzhu saw her mother asking her to be a spy, she jumped up excitedly and asked, "Am I an underground party member?"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was really an acting genius. She just asked about the situation, but he actually talked about the underground party members. She touched Zhuzhu's head and said, "Yaoyao is too tight-lipped. I can't ask you. You can ask from the side."

Zhuzhu made an "OK" gesture.

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua asked Zhuzhu, but she shook her head in distress, "No. Sister Yaoyao is too tight-lipped. I originally wanted to peek at her diary, but she found out and scolded me."

Zhang Xiuhua immediately became nervous, "Why did you read her diary? This is very bad behavior!"

Zhuzhu felt wronged. "Underground party members will definitely not miss any clues. I'll look through the diary to find clues. This is a reasonable method."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't dare to let her continue acting, otherwise she would be exposed. "Forget it. Maybe your sister really didn't do well in the exam this time. Your position is revoked."

Zhuzhu cried, "I've only been in office for one day, and you fired me? Mom, why are you like this?! I did such a good job, fulfilling my duties conscientiously. My sister wanted to beat me, but I didn't give you up. I kept it a secret from her, but you fired me. You are so heartless!"

Seeing her screaming at the top of her lungs, Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that she would attract Yaoyao, so she quickly took out a plum from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, "Don't cry, this is a reward for you."

Zhuzhu bit into a plum, it was sour, sweet and juicy, "Wow, it's delicious! Mom, where did you buy it?"

Zhang Xiuhua took it from the space in a hurry. She forgot that she didn't have it this month. She said hurriedly, "There is only one. Someone gave it to me. It was stuffed in my pocket and I forgot to take it out."

Zhuzhu really believed it, and felt a little disappointed, "There is only one such sweet plum."

Zhang Xiuhua urged her to go back quickly, "Don't tell Yaoyao, or you'll be exposed."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional." Zhuzhu bit a plum and skipped away.

After Zhuzhu left, Li Jianguo came in. He had just heard the conversation between the two at the door. "Isn't this a bad idea? Letting Zhuzhu try to get Yaoyao to tell tales, isn't this asking Zhuzhu to tell tales?"

"I've already called a halt. Besides, Zhuzhu still thinks she's an underground member." Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "Yaoyao is too tight-lipped. Zhuzhu didn't get anything out of her."

Li Jianguo was not surprised at all. "Yaoyao is the most tight-lipped person in the family. She plays best with Baolin, and only Baolin can know the truth from her."

"Baolin is here now. What you said is just nonsense!" Zhang Xiuhua lowered her head and thought for a long time, "Zhuzhu mentioned the diary just now? When did Yaoyao start the habit of writing a diary? How come I didn't know about it."

Li Jianguo was helpless, "If you don't know, I will know even less."

"She didn't have this habit when she was in the third grade. It seems like she developed it recently. What's the secret?" Zhang Xiuhua was a little excited and rolled her eyes.

Having lived in the same bed for ten years, Li Jianguo knew what she was planning just by looking at her eyes, and immediately interrupted her thoughts, "Don't peek, it would be terrible if you get caught!"

Zhang Xiuhua was actually a little tempted, but when she saw his objection, she snorted, "I'm just curious. I haven't really taken any action yet."

She was a little unsure, "What's going on?"

The two were thinking hard when Yaoyao suddenly appeared at the door, scaring them both.

"What are you two doing?" Yaoyao was also frightened by their startled look and asked, patting her chest.

Zhang Xiuhua said hurriedly, "It's okay. I was just curious why Zhuzhu's TV series hasn't been aired yet. What are you doing?"

Yaoyao scratched her head and said, "Aunt Zhang, the season is about to change, and I want to buy some clothes."

Li Jianguo paid the money and said, "Your Aunt Zhang is working outside. I will be the head of the family from now on. If you need anything, just come to me."

Yaoyao didn't take the money, "The clothes in our county are out of fashion, Aunt Zhang, can you buy them for me from the capital?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said yes.

Yaoyao left after she finished speaking. Zhang Xiuhua looked at her back and suddenly held Li Jianguo's hand.

The money in Li Jianguo's hand fell to the ground. He was startled, "What happened? You're so startled. You dropped all the money."

He picked up the money and handed it over, but found that Zhang Xiuhua didn't take it. Her eyes were fixed on the direction where Yaoyao left. He waved it in front of her, and Zhang Xiuhua finally reacted, "Something big happened!"

Li Jianguo's hand was caught by her, and the money fell to the ground again. He did not rush to pick it up this time, but looked at her helplessly, "What's the matter?"
