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

In the evening, Li Jianguo was still in the orchard, while Zhang Xiuhua and the children watched TV at home.

The title also has the characteristics of a tragic drama: "The Mute Girl".

Story: The mute girl tells a story from the 1940s and 1950s. The heroine was married to a divorced man by her father because of her blind and mute marriage. Her ex-husband had a child, and after she married him, she gave birth to three more children. The Si Ya played by Zhu Zhu is the youngest.

The story begins earlier about how the mute girl was bullied by her parents-in-law and her husband treated her badly because she had no dowry.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuhua complained during the commercial break, "This woman is mentally ill! Her husband doesn't love her, and she lets her mother-in-law bully her, but she still gave birth to three children for him. She doesn't know how to use contraception, and she can't hide? If a woman doesn't love herself, don't expect others to love her."

Zhuzhu was young and didn't understand what was said, so she looked at her with her eyes wide open.

Yaoyao cried until her eyes were red, "But mute girl is so pitiful."

"She was pitiful because of her children. She was a mother, and she knew that her family was poor, her husband was irresponsible and didn't love her, and her parents-in-law were unkind, but she still gave birth to children one after another. She only gave birth to them but didn't raise them. She deserved the hard life she had later!" Zhang Xiuhua looked down on her, "She couldn't even rely on her parents who gave birth to her and raised her, and she actually counted on a man who was not related to her by blood. If this isn't a sane mind, what is it?"

Yaoyao seemed to be thinking about something.

The next plot is that the mute mother's parents-in-law were killed by the Japanese, her parents-in-law were killed in an explosion, and her husband was hit by a shell. She raised four children alone and could only beg for a living.

At this time, a rich man wanted to adopt the third boy to carry on the family line because his lower body was blown up and he could not have children in the future. But the mute woman was reluctant to give up the third boy and insisted on leaving a descendant for the man.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuhua complained again, "She obviously can't support four children by herself, but she insisted on keeping all the children by her side to suffer. That rich couple can at least make sure their children are well fed and clothed. Her in-laws and her husband treat her badly, but she still refuses to let her son live a good life in order to leave a root for the man. This kind of woman is not worthy of being a mother!"

Zhuzhu slapped her thigh and shouted excitedly, "Yes! That's so stupid!"

Yaoyao tilted her head and didn't comment.

During the commercial break, Zhang Xiuhua told the children casually, "When you look for a partner in the future, you must keep your eyes open. If you don't like the behavior of the boy's parents, run away immediately! Children raised by such parents will be influenced by their habits. Don't ever think of changing them. We are all ordinary people, and no one is a savior. We don't have the ability to change others. I gave birth to you and raised you not to make you suffer. You must remember to love yourself the most at all times. Put yourself first!"

The three children, including Yaoyao, kept it in mind and didn't think much about it. They didn't know what she was actually hinting at.

But when they watched TV next time, they couldn't help but complain about the heroine's behavior.

"She is so stupid! That man is obviously a bad guy, but she entrusted Daya to such a scumbag! Daya will definitely be miserable in the future!"

"I think Arya is even more miserable. She is only eight years old, but she has to take care of her brother and she doesn't even have enough food to eat! She was almost stepped on by a rickshaw."

"The third kid is unlucky too! Ergou and he were good friends, but because he was adopted by a rich man, he eats and wears good clothes every day. Obviously, this good life should be his."

……

So the next day at the dinner table, Li Jianguo listened to the children's criticism of how weird this sad drama was. Their comments made Li Jianguo a little overwhelmed.

While working in the orchard, he muttered to Zhang Xiuhua, "Are you going too far?"

He just asked her to teach the children the right view of love. She actually criticized the love between parents. Did she forget that she is the mother? Does she want the children to recognize someone else as their mother in the future for money?

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiuhua felt that her teaching was correct.

"It's natural for the heroine to not want to give her child up for adoption. But how come you think she's selfish?" Li Jianguo felt her thoughts were dangerous. The TV series was praising the greatness of maternal love, but in her mouth it became a mentally retarded, selfish, cowardly, selfish mother who didn't care about her children.

Zhang Xiuhua snorted, "Isn't she selfish? She obviously can't raise four children by herself. Others wanted to adopt them, which would at least lighten her burden, but she refused. She insisted on keeping the boy with her. In the end, she sold her eldest daughter half-sold and half-gave her away, causing her to die early in childbirth. The second daughter was not much better! She was sold to someone else as a maid, and was abused and beaten by the master just to raise the remaining children. What about her? She worked as a wet nurse for others, and couldn't take care of her own children. The two little ones were ridden like cattle and horses by the young master. The way she raised children was not raising people at all, but raising animals! She lived numbly. What future did she have?!"

Li Jianguo listened to her nagging and said, "That's not what I meant. I think her efforts to raise her children are worthy of praise. At least she didn't throw them to the back hills to feed the wolves, and she didn't think of abandoning them. You see, there is a plot in the drama where a man wants to take her as his concubine, but the condition is that she gives the children away, and she is not happy about it."

Zhang Xiuhua curled her lips, "She is the heroine. If she doesn't have any shining points, wouldn't she become a villain?!"

Li Jianguo nodded, "I understand what you mean. But we can't go too far. We must not let children pursue profit in everything, otherwise they will grow up to be greedy villains. We must let them know the warmth of family. This is also what the TV series praises!"

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Don't worry, they grew up together, so their bond must be special. You don't need to emphasize it."

"If your ex-husband became a factory director and was very promising, and Jilin and Baolin recognized him for their own benefits? Would you be happy?" Li Jianguo coaxed.

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned. After thinking carefully, it seemed that she really couldn't accept it. Obviously, the man didn't care about the children at all. She couldn't help but doubt herself. Did she really pass it? But... "Can't the heroine support four children?"

"But no matter how difficult it is, I managed to raise them, didn't I?" Li Jianguo spread his hands. The whole drama is about how difficult it is for a mute mother to raise four children alone!

Zhang Xiuhua had no rebuttal.

Although Zhang Xiuhua complained about this TV series endlessly, the fact is that this drama is very popular.

When the villagers learned that Zhuzhu was also starring in this TV series, they would come to Zhang Xiuhua's house to watch TV on time.

These rural people were crying their hearts out.

The plot that Zhang Xiuhua criticized the most was understandable in their eyes. "They didn't want to give the child away, but they couldn't bear to do so. After all, it was their own flesh and blood. As the old saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. Do you have to give the child away just because life is hard? It doesn't make sense."

If Zhang Xiuhua were to say, "Why have so many children if you don't have the means?", this would be like poking a hole in the villagers' lungs. They would retort, "When we were poor before, every household had many children, and they were able to support them, didn't they?"

Fortunately, Zhang Xiuhua went to work and she didn't know that the villagers were going crazy about the TV series.

Zhuzhu's popularity in the village improved immediately, and many children were happy to play with her. These children were not limited to her peers, but also older and younger children.

She instantly became everyone's favorite in the village, with a group of children surrounding her wherever she went.

But such good days only lasted for a few days.

That day, Li Jianguo received a call from Ergou, saying that a TV station in Guangdong invited Zhuzhu to participate in a program, and he was negotiating with an advertiser and might ask her to shoot an advertisement. He asked her to prepare, and he would come to pick her up in two days.

Li Jianguo told Zhuzhu about this, and the little girl jumped for joy, "Dad? Am I a child star?"

Li Jianguo felt like he was dreaming. He didn't expect Zhuzhu to be so popular. In fact, this drama made Zhuzhu ugly.

She is obviously white and fat, but she is very dark in the TV series. The reason why she is not affected by being fat is that the child's face is swollen due to years of hunger. Fat children are more likely to put on swollen makeup, which is very ugly. But this character has a shining point. When she was about to starve to death, she was saved by a Communist soldier and went to the battlefield. She died at the age of 16. This is the most tragic scene in the whole drama.
