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

Because of her wild thoughts at night, Zhang Xiuhua slept very late the next day.

At this time, Li Jianguo had already prepared breakfast and was pruning fruit branches in the orchard. He moved very quietly so as not to wake her up.

She was awakened by the guests outside the orchard, one call after another. She opened her eyes in a daze and it was already bright outside.

Li Jianguo went to open the door, and it turned out to be Fengjiao.

Li Jianguo saw that her clothes were covered with snow. "Why did you come here at this time when it's snowing so heavily?"

It's not a festival, and the Chinese New Year is still several months away. Why did she come back? Wasn't she working in the south? !

Li Fengjiao's nose was red from the cold, and she blew hot air into her palms, "Second brother, let me go into the house and warm myself by the fire, I have something to talk to you about!"

Li Jianguo immediately made way for her, entered the house, and asked her to sit on the kang. "Have you eaten?"

Li Fengjiao shook her head.

Li Jianguo went to the kitchen to serve the meal. Zhang Xiuhua got up from the kang and was a little embarrassed when she saw Li Fengjiao.

Li Fengjiao didn't care about these things. She looked like she was worried and greeted him.

Zhang Xiuhua noticed something was wrong with her, put on her clothes, and looked at her for a few times, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Jianguo came in with hot meals and dishes, and Li Fengjiao and Zhang Xiuhua sat cross-legged on the kang facing each other.

Li Jianguo poured tea for the two and told them to drink slowly, "The water is still a little hot!"

Zhang Xiuhua ate her food, glanced at Li Fengjiao again, and winked at Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo understood immediately and asked her what was going on, "You came here alone?"

Li Fengjiao nodded, her stomach was half full, and then she spoke slowly, "I was working in the south. There was a girl in our family compound who worked with me. She got married before the New Year and stopped working. This month she called me and said that my man was fooling around with a woman! So I came back!"

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo looked at each other.

Li Jianguo frowned, "You didn't go home?"

"No! I'm afraid of alerting the enemy!" Li Fengjiao had nothing to hide from her second brother. "I came to you and my eldest brother first. Only you can help me. I can't handle the three of them by myself."

Li Jianguo agreed immediately, "It's definitely okay to help you. We are siblings, so this is nothing. But you have to tell me the truth. What do you want to do after catching them cheating? Vent your dissatisfaction and control their family? Divorce? Send him to jail? Extort money from him? Or take away Weiguo's custody?"

This question is not so abrupt. Adults are not like children. They have to consider the consequences of everything they do. Although the crackdown is over now, the crime of hooliganism still exists. Sun Guangming has married and has children. He fooled around with other women, which is hooliganism. If Li Fengjiao goes to the police, there will be no problem in sentencing Sun Guangming to a few years in prison. It all depends on her choice.

Zhang Xiuhua also looked at Li Fengjiao. Catching an adulterer might seem like a betrayal by her husband, but it was not. He would have a criminal record, which would hinder the future of their two children. It was impossible for Li Fengjiao not to consider her children. Sure enough, after a brief thought, Li Fengjiao said, "I want to divorce him. If I can get custody of Weiguo, that would be great. But if he doesn't want to be with me, I'll ask for more money. Qiaoling is already grown up, and I'll make the decision for her in the future."

Li Jianguo understood that she still wanted to part ways with the other party in an amicable manner and did not want to send him to jail.

He asked Li Fengjiao to wait here while he went to discuss with his eldest brother what to do.

Li Fengjiao said hurriedly, "I'll go too."

Li Jianguo held her shoulders and said, "Eat first, then go after you finish eating. It's such a big thing, and we may not be able to hide it from others. I will call a few more people."

Li Fengjiao nodded and said yes.

Li Jianguo quickly left the room. Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Fengjiao, "Didn't Qiaoling come back with you?"

"Yes! She stayed in the factory to work, and I came back alone." Li Fengjiao smiled bitterly, "I haven't told her yet, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it."

Zhang Xiuhua felt that she should still tell her child after the divorce. "She is already 19 years old, not a child anymore. She will understand you. As for Weiguo..."

The child was actually spoiled by her grandparents and was not very close to Li Fengjiao. The same was true for Qiaoling. If Li Fengjiao had not taken her out to work, allowing the child to see the outside world and accept new ideas, she might still not be very close to Li Fengjiao.

"He will take the college entrance examination soon. I don't want to delay him." Li Fengjiao knew her son's character and regretted marrying into such a family. But it was too late to regret now.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded and comforted her, "When he grows up, he will understand you."

Li Fengjiao smiled bitterly, "Let's hope so." She no longer had any hope for that family.

After she finished her meal, she went to her eldest brother's house first.

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it and decided to go along to see how everyone discussed it.

She locked the door of the orchard, and then she and Li Fengjiao walked into the village through the thick snow, taking one step at a time.

When they arrived at their eldest brother's house, Li Jianguo and Li Jiandang were not there. Xu Chunying told them that the two had gone to look for the villagers.

Because they were afraid that their mother-in-law would worry, neither of them told her.

Li Fengjiao went into the house and told her mother that she had come back to see her.

Liu Shujun was indeed very happy. She spoke much better than before and if you listened carefully, you could hear her clearly.

Xu Chunying asked Zhang Xiuhua if she wanted to go.

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned by the question, "Are you going too?"

"Of course! The old couple of the Sun family are so good at talking, and Fengjiao doesn't know how to argue, so I'm afraid she'll suffer." Xu Chunying was not afraid of arguing. She had to support the little girl.

Zhang Xiuhua was in a dilemma. It was ok for her to come to the village occasionally, but she was away in the county for such a long time, and no one fed the fox? It must be starving!

Seeing her frown, Xu Chunying finally came to her senses and said, "Forget it, you'd better not go. You're not very good at talking."

Zhang Xiuhua heard what she said and felt that she had to go because her sister-in-law was a little emotional. What if she really called all the neighbors and sent Sun Guangming to jail? How could Fengjiao get a divorce and compensation? !

She asked her sister-in-law to wait for a while while she went back home to find Aunt Wang and asked her to help her feed the fox.

Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang were shelling corn at home. When they saw her coming, they invited her to come in and sit down. "We are watching TV and Zhuzhu is on it. You should come and watch it too. This child is a really good actress."

Zhang Xiuhua took a look and realized it was Zhuzhu. She had actually forgotten about this. But now was not the time to talk about this, so she hurriedly asked the other party to help take care of the fox.

Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed. "I have never raised a fox before. How do I feed it?"

"There is ready-made feed in the house. Just mix it according to the ratio. It's just like raising a dog." Zhang Xiuhua handed her the key. "I also have a TV at home, and the kang is lit. You can watch it at my house. Wait until I come back before leaving."

Aunt Wang agreed, "Okay! I'll go and help you feed it now."

She was a little puzzled. "Where are you and Jianguo going in this icy and snowy place?"

Zhang Xiuhua had nothing to hide. If Fengjiao got divorced, she couldn't hide the fact either. She briefly explained the situation.

Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and scolded the man for being shameless, "Is he still a human being? His wife goes out to make money, and he fools around at home!"

When she learned that Fengjiao wanted a divorce, she changed her tone and said, "Are you really going to get a divorce? It would be so embarrassing if this got out."

People at this time don't divorce easily, because divorced women have no way out, and people around them look down on them.

Humans are environmental animals and need recognition from others to find their own sense of existence.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't have time to correct her thoughts. "She went to the south after getting divorced. There's nothing shameful about it. As long as she lives a good life, that's all."

Aunt Wang couldn't understand, but she couldn't say anything bad about her sister-in-law in front of Zhang Xiuhua, so she just nodded randomly.

As soon as she left, Uncle Wang asked Aunt Wang, "Feng Jiao is working in the south. Does she have a lover? Why do you want to leave such a good family?"

Aunt Wang glanced at him and said, "Impossible. Fengjiao went to work with her daughter. Her daughter didn't know what happened to her. I think she couldn't make it. I heard Xiuhua and Chunying mention it before. Fengjiao's parents-in-law looked down on Fengjiao. When Hongwen was admitted to Peking University, her parents-in-law came and tore up Hongwen's admission letter. Is this something a normal person can do?"

Uncle Wang also remembered this. "These parents-in-law are a bit confused. They are competing with their own daughter-in-law. What are they trying to do?!"

Aunt Wang curled her lips and said, "You look down on us country folk. Ugh! You are such a piece of shit!"

She put on her clothes while cursing and went to help in the orchard. Uncle Wang, who had nothing to do, followed her and wanted to help. "You can't handle it alone. I heard that he has hundreds of foxes."

Aunt Wang knew that he was afraid of loneliness, so she didn't expose him. The old couple walked towards the orchard side by side, leaving behind a long trail of straight footprints.
