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

Ergou quickly arrived at Lijiatun. When he arrived at the village, Zhuzhu was playing at the gate of the yard, laughing so hard that her teeth were showing.

Ergou saw that she seemed to be tanned, so he hurriedly brought her into the house and took out a sun hat from his bag and put it on her. "You are no longer an ordinary child. You are a star now, so you have to take care of your face."

Zhuzhu found it strange to wear a hat and shook her head from side to side.

Seeing that she was so excited to play, Ergou didn't say anything to her or me, but repeatedly reminded her not to get her face and skin tanned.

He urged Zhuzhu to go back to the house and get a shirt to put on so as not to get her arms tanned.

It was so hot at noon that Zhuzhu didn't want to wear anything, but seeing her second brother's expression, she pouted and went back to the house to put on a shirt.

"Are godmother and godfather not at home?" Ergou looked around several rooms and didn't see anyone, so he asked Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu nodded as she put on her clothes, "Yes! My mom is working on the train and will be back tomorrow. My dad is busy in the orchard, you can go find him."

Ergou nodded and repeatedly reminded her not to overexpose herself in the sun. "You are young now, so you can't use those cosmetics. You have to use physical sunscreen. Do you understand?"

Zhuzhu seemed to understand, "Okay!"

Ergou went to the orchard. It was summer, the season when Gala fruits were ripe.

After shouting a few times outside, Li Jianguo came over to open the door, "You're here so soon? Your godmother won't be back until tomorrow!"

He gestured to go back first. Ergou wanted to take a walk in the orchard, so Li Jianguo opened the door for him.

"If you want to eat fruit, just pick it. We have a well here."

Ergou nodded, picked a few red fruits, washed them by the well, and started eating them. The fruits were small, but very sweet, crunchy, sour, sweet and juicy!

Li Jianguo was weeding in the field. "I heard from your godmother that you invested all your money in TV dramas. What are you doing in the south? Are you going to resell electrical appliances again?"

Ergou smiled and said, "No. The inspection is too strict now, and I don't want to go to jail. I went to work in a factory in the south."

Li Jianguo almost cut his own foot. He looked at him sideways, "You? Working in a factory? Can you get used to it?"

"I joined the factory to learn and see the products." Ergou laughed, "I've worked in a garment factory before. Their clothing styles are all copied from abroad. The fabrics, colors, and styles are all very fashionable. I'm afraid our state-owned garment factories can't compete with them and will be eliminated sooner or later."

Li Jianguo was puzzled, "You want to invest in a clothing factory?"

"We didn't have enough money before, but this TV series has paid off, so I do have this idea." Ergou did not hide it from him, "I plan to just create a new category. I think this has good development prospects and will definitely sell well in the future."

Li Jianguo hesitated, "Is it okay to only do one category? Our state-owned garment factories can also produce it."

"It is indeed possible to produce it. But our styles are too backward. Others can do printing and embroidery. The fabric is also more delicate, does not pill, and is very cool. The colors are also very bright, and many young people like them." Ergou had already thought about it.

"Are you not going to invest in TV dramas anymore?" Li Jianguo asked curiously.

"It takes too long for TV dramas to pay back!" Ergou threw the apple core under the tree and covered it with soil. "I have to wait half a year for a drama to be released, and that's still fast. The slower ones may take a year. It takes too long to pay back. I plan to invest in only one drama a year."

At this point, he smiled at Li Jianguo, "Godfather, I plan to sign Zhuzhu as an actor in my company."

Li Jianguo didn't understand this. "She's your sister. It doesn't matter whether she signs or not. Why bother?"

Ergou sighed, "That's different. Only after she signed a contract with me can I contact her for various business activities in her name. She can get paid for recording shows, shooting commercials, and shooting for magazines. And the money is not low!"

Li Jianguo became curious, "How much is not low?"

"She is just a rising star now, and usually makes 1,000 or 2,000 yuan for recording shows. Shooting for magazines is about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and shooting for commercials is more expensive, tens of thousands of yuan." Ergou had already made the contact, so he knew the prices clearly.

Li Jianguo took a deep breath, "Is it so expensive to shoot a commercial?"

"We are just starting to make dramas in the mainland. Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars can get millions of dollars for a single drama! The advertising fees are also millions." Ergou said happily, "The female lead I signed has taken on a lot of advertisements. I made six figures from her alone."

Li Jianguo counted and found that six figures equaled 100,000. He sighed, "No wonder your godmother said you are smart and like to make quick money. You are really extraordinary!"

Ergou laughed happily.

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Signing the contract is no problem. I still don't trust you. But Zhuzhu is still in school. If she wants to shoot commercials, record programs or film, she can only do it during winter and summer vacations. Can you coordinate?"

Ergou had already thought of a plan, "Godfather, I think a smart kid like Zhuzhu doesn't need to waste time in school. You can hire a tutor for her. Let her come back for exams! This way she won't be delayed in her studies, and she won't be delayed in her fame." He also quoted a celebrity, "Zhang Ailing said it well, 'You have to be famous as early as possible.' Zhuzhu is at the cutest age, and she looks very pleasing. With me tailoring for her, she will easily become famous!"

This change was too big, and Li Jianguo really couldn't make a decision for the time being. "Your godmother will be back tomorrow. I'll discuss it with her and then make a decision."

Although they agreed to divide the money in proportion, they had to discuss education. Especially since Zhuzhu was raised by Xiuhua, she was no different from her own daughter. If she knew that he had let Zhuzhu stop studying in order to make money, she would get angry and he would not be able to bear it!

Ergou nodded as if he understood. "Okay! Then I'll discuss it with my godmother."

He walked around the orchard and suddenly heard a "wa-wa-wa" sound. It sounded like a dog, but it seemed wrong. It was sharper than a dog's barking. He didn't dare to go in. He turned back and asked Li Jianguo, "Godfather, I think I heard an animal's cry. Is there a wolf in here?"

Li Jianguo smiled and shook his head. "They are not wolves, but foxes and raccoon dogs. We have quite a few of them. Your godmother said that the south is very rich now, and it will be common to make clothes with fox fur in the future."

Ergou nodded wildly, "Yes! We can't afford it here yet, but people abroad have money, we can sell it to them and make a lot of money."

He was a little curious and asked how long it would take to remove the hair.

"December is fine. The weather will be cold by then, so it won't stink easily!" Li Jianguo replied, "About 12 months is enough."

Ergou nodded, "I'll go to Pengcheng and ask for the price for you. There are many manufacturers that make artificial fur now. For genuine products like this, you have to find a manufacturer that knows the quality."

Li Jianguo felt a little sorry, "You are so busy."

"It's okay! I can take this opportunity to ask about the foreign market. Many clothing factories are engaged in foreign trade business, which is the big part. I also want to expand my business." Ergou told him not to be embarrassed.

Li Jianguo used to think that Ergou made money by luck, but now it seems that his brain is really working, "You will definitely be right in the future."

Ergou narrowed his eyes and smiled. "My dad always said I was a loser! I was so angry! I wanted to prove it to him, but I was wrong. I didn't need to prove it to him. He doesn't deserve it!"

Li Jianguo pursed his lips and sighed. The father and son were now like enemies, but Ergou couldn't be blamed for this. It was all because of his foolish father who hurt the child's heart.
