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

Zhang Xiuhua rushed all the way and finally caught up with Youcai.

Youcai heard a bicycle bell behind him, turned around and saw it was her, then turned and ran. But his short legs were no match for the bicycle, so he soon tried to turn into the side road again.

Zhang Xiuhua called him, "Are you going to your uncle's house?"

Youcai's eyes were red. He turned around and glared at her, then shouted at her, "Yes! You are the stepmother, a vicious stepmother. I want to find my uncle!"

Zhang Xiuhua was a little amused. Is this vicious? He had never seen a truly vicious person.

She suppressed her laughter and waved for him to come up, "I'll take you there. You walk too slowly."

Youcai was so angry that he stopped walking and asked, "Aren't you here to take me back?"

"Yes, I am. But aren't you going to your uncle's house? I have to respect your opinion! Even though you don't respect me, I have to respect you!" Zhang Xiuhua answered slowly, not angry at all.

Youcai was stunned. How could there be such a bad person in this world? "Aren't you afraid that my dad will come back and divorce you?"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "It's just a divorce. It's not like I haven't been divorced before. It will save me a lot of trouble. From now on, I will spend all my money on my own children. I will let them eat meat every meal and wear new clothes."

Youcai wasn't really stupid after all, and he didn't believe her at all. "The day you brought Jidong to our house, I didn't see them wearing new clothes. You're bragging!"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "I don't want you to feel inferior. We are all from the same family, and it's not good to treat you differently. But after your father left, didn't I let you eat meat often? I also bought you cotton quilts and even coal. Did you have this treatment before?"

Youcai was stunned, but he quickly thought of what she had said before, "That's because my mother is virtuous, but you are not!"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't argue with him, "If you say so, then so be it. Come up quickly, I'll take you to your uncle's house for a few days."

Youcai saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, so he jumped into the back seat of the car and said, "I'm going to my uncle's house, not to study."

Zhang Xiuhua sneered, "It's okay for you to stay at your uncle's house until New Year's Eve. As long as you can live there!"

Youcai pouted, "My uncle is very nice to me."

Zhang Xiuhua did not refute. She thought: Your mother secretly gives money to your uncle every time she goes to his house. Your father spends more than half of his salary on your uncle. He treats you badly, but he is still a human being.

But he wouldn't believe it even if she said it, so Zhang Xiuhua let him experience the difference firsthand.

After that, Zhang Xiuhua said nothing more. Seeing that she had become a gourd with a sawed mouth, Youcai was so angry that his cheeks puffed up and he ignored him.

After riding for half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.

Zhang Xiuhua sent the person to the destination.

Youcai’s uncle’s surname is Chen, his mother’s name is Chen Zhaodi, and his uncle’s name is Chen Jinbao. Just by looking at the names, you can guess what kind of family this is.

Chen Jinbao's wife was called Wang Xiaohui. She was slightly surprised to see Youcai, then she grinned and invited him into the house. She looked at Zhang Xiuhua and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to get too involved with this family, so she just explained, "Youcai thought of your home for a few days, I sent him here, and whenever he misses home, please send him back."

After saying that, she rode away on her bike.

Zhang Xiuhua returned home, thinking that this was not a good thing. She had to tell Li Jianguo about it, lest he misunderstand that she had not taken good care of the child.

She couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, so she asked Jidong for two sheets of paper from his exercise book and began to tell him the whole story.

After finishing writing, Zhang Xiuhua originally wanted to go to the commune to mail the letter the next day, but she learned from Baolin that Zhou Pandyi and Li Xiaoying would go to the commune to do business the next day, so she asked them to help mail the letter.

Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying naturally agreed to help send it.

After sending the letter, Zhang Xiuhua felt much less stressed.

However, the news spread throughout the village, and Aunt Li Si even came to her house to ask what was going on. "I heard that you roasted meat at home, but didn't give it to Youcai to eat?"

Zhang Xiuhua knew that she was not asking whether she had abused Youcai, but whether she really ate meat.

Zhang Xiuhua began to cry about how difficult it was for her. "It's so hard to be a stepmother. This child is not doing well. I spent money to send him to school, but he didn't learn well and went fishing. As a stepmother, I can't beat him. Jianguo will resent me when he comes back. I have no choice but to stew the meat that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Let the child be greedy. Let him learn a lesson. Don't skip school again!"

Aunt Li Si praised her for her kindness and willingness to teach the children, but she didn't know what she was muttering behind her back.

The villagers talked about her, some said she was cruel, some said she was kind, and all sorts of things were said.

Just because she eats meat every few days, it is impossible for Zhang Xiuhua to be liked by all the villagers.

Fortunately, it was quickly stopped by another incident.

Snowing.

Yes, that's right. On November 3rd, heavy snow fell across the entire Northeast. The village loudspeaker directly announced the suspension of classes.

Zhang Xiuhua let the children spend the winter on the stove, roasted sweet potatoes for them, and stewed a pot of cabbage, tofu and vermicelli soup, to which she added chili peppers, which made their mouths drool.

After eating and drinking, the children rolled around in their blankets, "It's so warm."

There was an old quilt on the kang and two new quilts on top of it. Looking out the window, the snow scene was so beautiful.

Zhang Xiuhua asked the children to play at home while she went to the educated youth site and asked Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying to come over quickly.

It will definitely be freezing tonight, so we need to heat up the kang and let them come over so they can spend the winter together.

She put on high-top black rubber shoes with two wool insoles stuffed inside, and a thick cotton jacket. Although it looked dirty on the outside, it was actually a down jacket. Unfortunately, only she could wear this down jacket. The cotton jackets worn by other children were made by stuffing the cotton from the quilt in the space into their old clothes.

The children were naive and didn't notice anything wrong. They just thought it was exceptionally warm this year.

She wrapped herself up into a ball with a hat and a scarf, holding an umbrella, and walked towards the educated youth site in the wind and snow, taking one step forward and one step back.

When she arrived at the youth training center, everyone was in the kitchen, sitting around the stove and warming themselves. Although it was snowing, no one would be so extravagant as to heat the kang on the first snowfall. They were wearing old cotton-padded jackets, wrapping themselves in almost all the clothes they could wear, layer upon layer, looking like a thousand-layer pagoda.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't comment on their dressing style, saying it was all because of poverty. If they were rich, who would dress like that?

After she told them her purpose, Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying immediately went back to the house to pack their things in the snow. The other educated youth looked at them with envy. Some even shamelessly asked her if she still wanted a teacher.

Zhang Xiuhua looked embarrassed and said, "The kang at home can't accommodate me. I'm sorry."

It’s hard for everyone to say anything.

Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying were very fast. They didn't have an umbrella, and Zhang Xiuhua couldn't beat three people with one umbrella. Fortunately, the two of them said casually, "It's okay! We just need to shake off the snow when we get there."

Northerners never use umbrellas when it snows. Only southerners do.

The three of them closed the door of the educated youth center and walked towards the main road.

The wind was howling, blowing heavy snow into people's faces. No one spoke, no one complained. This was the suffering brought by the weather, which they could not endure but had to endure.

"Huh? Who is that?" Because they were walking against the wind, the three of them walked backwards. Anyway, there were no cars passing by at that time, so there would be no car accident. But unexpectedly, when they turned around, they saw a small black figure behind them, and judging from its size, it should be a half-grown child.

"Oh, why is he still outside in such a cold day?" Li Xiaoying thought.

Zhang Xiuhua squinted her eyes and quickly determined that the little black figure was talented. She said something to the two of them and hurried over. He really is talented. At this time, Youcai was still wearing the clothes he wore that day. This kid is also stupid. He didn't bring any clothes when he left, and he was still wearing these when he came back. He was almost frozen into an ice stick.

Youcai saw her and wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, it was full of snowflakes, so he had to close it.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't listen to his explanation and directly put the hat and scarf on his head, and wrapped the scarf around his body. As for the clothes? They couldn't be taken off. If they were taken off, they would be exposed.

Youcai was freezing. He caught up with Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying, and Zhou Pandi took out a cotton coat from her luggage bag. This coat was what she changed into. She gave it to him to change into first.

After putting on their clothes, the four of them carried each other home.
