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

Two days after Ergou asked the driver to take away all the fox fur, Zhang Xiuhua came back.

Jidong told her that he had applied to various universities for studying abroad, and he would be able to get a public scholarship after the application was approved by his superiors.

Zhang Xiuhua exclaimed, "That's good."

Ergou smiled and said, "I'll go with you then."

"Sure. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You should be more careful when doing business." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "When Yaoyao finishes her college entrance examination, I will take her to visit the palace of Damao."

Youcai interrupted, "Aunt Zhang, Guoxiang is back, and he has a girlfriend. He dyed his hair yellow."

Zhang Xiuhua found his tone strange and a little amused, "Are you envious? Why don't you date too?"

Youcai blushed, "I'm not envious, I just think he's different now. He even learned to smoke."

Zhang Xiuhua could understand. "After entering the society and going through things, you will definitely grow up. You can't be as lawless as you were when you were a child. If you envy him, I will ask my colleagues to introduce you to someone later."

Youcai saw that she was serious and waved his hands, "No! I don't want to date. I just think he changes too fast."

Seeing him so scared, Jidong smiled unkindly and told him about how Guoxiang came to his house to show off after making money.

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that Youcai was stimulated by Guoxiang. She looked at Jidong, "Don't tell him in the future, let him understand it himself. No one is born with so many thoughts. People can't teach people, but they can learn things once. Youcai has received too much care and advice from you, so his personality has always been so straightforward."

But they will all have families in the future, so who can stay with Youcai forever? It might be a good thing for him to suffer a blow while he is still a student, so the damage he suffers can be less. If he really waits until he has a family and a career, and then suffers a blow, it will be a devastating disaster, and his wife and children will have to suffer with him.

Jidong was slightly startled. He really hadn't thought of this. He just subconsciously felt that he should give some advice.

"You can't deprive him of the opportunity to study." Zhang Xiuhua patted Jidong's shoulder and affirmed, "I know you love your brother, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you keep doing this for a long time, you'll get tired. He'll also complain."

Jidong thought about it carefully and felt that his aunt's idea was more comprehensive.

Youcai blushed, looked at Jidong, and bumped his shoulder into Jidong, “Thanks!”

Jidong shook his head, "It's okay!"

The two chatted and laughed. Zhang Xiuhua looked at Ergou again and said, "You are not young anymore. Do you have a girl you like?"

Ergou blushed, "For the time being, I still..."

Before he finished speaking, Youcai couldn't wait to refute him, "Aunt Zhang, he has it!"

Ergou wanted to strangle him, but Youcai went around behind Zhang Xiuhua and kept talking like a machine gun. "I secretly heard him talking to a woman on the phone last night, and his tone was very gentle."

Ergou didn't stop him after all. When he finished speaking, he glared at him fiercely, scratched his head and explained, "It's not like that. Her situation is similar to mine. Her father doesn't love her, and her mother doesn't love her. We are both working hard in Pengcheng. I just happened to be in need of an assistant, so I hired her. She's smart and capable. I just admire her. We haven't even started dating yet, so don't say anything nonsense!"

Although he tried his best to distance himself from the relationship, his tone revealed something unusual. Zhang Xiuhua knew him well enough. The girl who could make him lose his composure must be extraordinary. Maybe he really didn't have a girlfriend, but he must have some feelings for her.

She didn't expose him, but smiled, "That's fine. If you meet a girl you like, it's okay to date one. Nowadays, people value free love. After the New Year, you will be twenty-one. In two years, you can get married."

Ergou was defeated, "I'm busy with my career now, so I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."

He asked curiously, "Why didn't Baolin come back with you? The New Year is coming soon."

"She gets busier towards the end of the year. She has to attend various trainings." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "She will be back on the 28th."

Jidong sighed, "Baolin has to participate in various trainings, it's so hard."

Youcai also nodded. Athletes train their physical strength to the extreme.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "There haven't been any big competitions recently, so she's been training her strength. I think she's different now. Her arms and thighs are full of flesh. She's better than you guys!"

The three of them looked at each other, feeling defeated. But none of them were athletes, so it was still acceptable.

Zhang Xiuhua chatted with them for a while, then went to the old village chief's house to settle the food bill and visit Guoxiang and his girlfriend.

Unfortunately, her luck was not very good. The two of them went to the town to buy New Year's goods, and only the old village chief and Song Lianhua were there.

Speaking of Guoxiang's girlfriend, Song Lianhua sighed, "She's pretty and has a good personality, but she's young and dyed her hair yellow. From a distance, I thought she was a foreigner."

She had come from a hard life and had no good feelings towards foreigners, especially those with dyed yellow hair, which in her mind was a symbol of fake foreigners.

Zhang Xiuhua thinks that being a good person is enough. "As long as she is down-to-earth and capable, her hair is not important. Besides, she sells clothes, so she has to dress in a trendy way so that the clothes can be sold."

Song Lianhua thought about it and couldn't help laughing. "When Guoxiang is old enough, we will hold a wedding for them. He is the same age as Youcai, so Guoxiang should get married before Youcai."

Is this another competition? Zhang Xiuhua was a little amused, "Our talented son is still a student. Let's talk about dating after he graduates."

This means "Your grandson got married early because he didn't get into college. There's nothing to be proud of."

Song Lianhua felt sour in her heart. She wanted her other grandchildren to be admitted to university so that she could hold a wedding banquet and be proud of herself. But in fact, studying was really difficult. She had wanted to study with the children before, but she didn't have the energy to keep up and soon gave up.

Seeing that she gave up, the grandchildren had even more reason to give up and just gave up.

The old village chief settled the account, and Zhang Xiuhua paid the bill. She was about to leave when she heard loud crying and shouting outside, which sounded familiar.

Song Lianhua listened carefully and frowned, "Why is it their family again? It's New Year's Day and they are restless again! What's going on this year?"

Zhang Panhua looked at her, and the old village chief scolded his wife, "What nonsense are you talking about."

He has retired and no one will come to him no matter what happens in the village. Why is she complaining?

Song Lianhua was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that her husband was no longer the village chief. She looked at Zhang Xiuhua and said, "Go home and inform your husband to seek justice."

This tone was a bit gloating. Zhang Xiuhua laughed, it was just that little thing! The old village chief likes to be a peacemaker, so he is not pleasing to both sides. If it were Li Jianguo, he would have beaten him to death with a stick. They couldn't make trouble even if they wanted to!
