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

The reason why Jidong jumped out was because the girl was none other than Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang came here because she bought a courtyard house here last year, and she planned to use the weekends when she didn't have classes to come here and clean it up so that she could rent it out. But she never expected that the landlord who sold her the house last year would force Xiangxiang to return the house after learning that the house price had increased this year.

How could this be possible! The house had already been transferred and the money had been paid, so of course she was not happy. So they began to use intimidation and blocked her in the alley.

She subconsciously tried to shout for help, but they covered her mouth. She racked her brains to think of a solution, but she was no match for the other party in strength, and no matter how smart she was, it was useless at this moment.

It was obvious that these people were not good people. They might have killed someone. If they really killed her, wouldn't she have lived in vain? But she was unwilling to return the house directly. She was about to pretend to be polite, but the other party had already pinched her face, "Don't play tricks! You can't beat us!"

Just when Xiangxiang thought she was going to suffer a loss, suddenly a heavenly sound was heard. When she turned her head, it was Jidong!

"Who are you?!" The man released his hands that were pinching Xiangxiang's face and glared at the person who came.

Jidong didn't come in. "I'm the boss of Pengyuan Construction! If anything happens to her, I will testify to the police. You surrounded her and threatened her before. Do you think the police will come to our house?"

At this time, the police handled the case in a direct and rough manner, and no one could survive their interrogation.

The faces of several men changed again and again. One of them approached the leading man and said, "I heard that Pengyuan Construction is quite powerful and specializes in taking government projects."

Those who can take on government projects must have someone behind them. Ordinary people simply cannot get such projects.

The man looked extremely upset and wanted to beat up the two men as well, but the distance was so far that when they ran over, the two men had already run away.

Finally he waved his hand, let go of Xiangxiang, turned around and left through the other side of the alley.

Seeing them let go of her, Xiangxiang ran towards Jidong quickly. Only when she ran to his side did she feel alive again.

After the others left, Xiang Xiang's pounding heart slowly calmed down, and she thanked Ji Dong, "Thanks to you, otherwise my house might have been taken away."

This incident also made her realize that her thoughts were too naive. She thought that after rebirth, with the help of prophecy, she could buy a courtyard house in the capital and become a billionaire in the future. It seems that she thought too simply!

Jidong smiled and said, "In fact, even if I don't do anything, you will still be safe. They will have to take you to the Housing Management Office. You can still protect yourself there!"

Xiang Xiang was not optimistic. These public officials were so arrogant now. Who knew if they would meddle in other people's business? She did not continue the topic and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"I'm helping my aunt buy a courtyard house. Come over here to look at the house." Jidong said with a smile, "I'm leaving first! You should go home soon too."

Xiang Xiang thought about it and followed him, "You helped me a lot, I want to treat you to a meal."

Jidong wanted to say "No thanks", but Xiangxiang smiled playfully, "Actually, I also have my own selfish motives. They seem to be very afraid of you. If they see that we have a good relationship, they won't dare to take advantage of me next time."

Jidong was amused by her honesty, "Actually, I am just a bully."

Xiang Xiang sighed, "If you don't have any skills, you won't be able to do business in the capital."

The capital has not been fully liberalized yet. Many businesses cannot be done. The fact that Jidong can open a construction company shows that he is very capable.

But she was a little curious, "Don't you have to work? How do you have time to start a company?"

"I'm just the boss of Pengyuan Construction, and the people below are responsible for the work." Jidong didn't let her leave.

The three of them walked and talked, and their figures became farther and farther away.

**

Soon Zhang Xiuhua arrived in the capital, first to visit her granddaughter August, and by the way to taste Youcai's cooking skills.

She came at an inopportune moment, as August was sleeping soundly.

The mother-in-law must have come to visit August as soon as she came back, but she made a wasted trip. Zhenzhen felt a little embarrassed, "The little guy couldn't sleep before dawn today, and woke up the whole family to go out for a walk. He didn't sleep during the day either, because he was too tired from playing. He went to bed too early."

"It's okay!" Zhang Xiuhua touched August's little face, "All children are like this. It will be the same when I play with her tomorrow."

Not wanting to disturb the child's sleep, the two tiptoed out of the house. Zhang Xiuhua chatted with Zhenzhen for a few words and then went to the restaurant. When Youcai saw her coming, he cooked her favorite dish, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he told her something important, "Aunt Zhang, I think Jidong seems to be dating someone."

Zhang Xiuhua almost choked. After choking for a long time, she looked at him in shock, "Who is it?!"

Youcai, however, was clueless. "Actually, I didn't find out. It was Zhenzhen. When she was shopping with Bayue, she noticed that he was very close to a girl. The girl was pretty, too, and they were talking and laughing. She was afraid that Jidong and the girl would be embarrassed, so she didn't take the initiative to go up and say hello."

Zhang Xiuhua thought carefully, shopping? Jidong hated shopping. In his previous life, his wife asked him to go shopping together, and his brows were furrowed. He didn't like shopping in this life. Even the clothes he usually wore were chosen by her. He actually went shopping with a girl, it seemed that he was in a relationship.

Zhang Xiuhua was so happy that her eyes were wide open and she clapped her hands excitedly. To be honest, Zhang Xiuhua had already prepared for Jidong to see her. Who would have thought that he would find one himself? This was great. She looked at Youcai with a gossipy look on her face, "Have you asked Jidong?"

Youcai shook his head. “Every time he comes here, he’s always in a hurry. I’ve opened another store, so I don’t have that much time to talk to him.”

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Then I'll ask him later."

Because of this, Zhang Xiuhua couldn't sleep at night. Although Jidong was not yet of marriageable age, she could prepare a wedding house in advance. Otherwise, she would not rent out the Siheyuan she bought this time, but directly renovate it into a new house. Let it dry for a year, buy some furniture and appliances, and move in with just a bag. How much easier!

The more she thought about it, the better she thought it was. She fell into a deep sleep in the early hours of the morning.

I slept until after ten o'clock. Jidong had already come from the research institute and called out to someone outside, "Auntie?"

Zhang Xiuhua then turned over and sat up, hurriedly put on her clothes, and ran to wash up.

Seeing that she hadn't eaten yet and there was no breakfast shop selling food at this time, Jidong had to go and pack a lunch for her.

Zhang Xiuhua ate a plate of egg fried rice and felt a little choked. Jidong poured her some water and said, "Slow down!"

"Have you taken a liking to the courtyard house?" Zhang Xiuhua finished eating until she was three-quarters full before she began to look him over.

"Yes!" Jidong briefly described the situation of this courtyard house. "It is quite large. The house was previously used by the government and there are many illegal buildings. I will demolish it, install water and electricity, and renovate the house."

Zhang Xiuhua was quite satisfied with the first part, and then said, "There's no need to repair it. There's no need to rush to buy something with the remaining money! Why not tear it down and rebuild it?!"

This sentence made Jidong stunned, "Rebuild it? There's no need. The house looks very solid, and we can live in it for at least another 30 or 40 years!"

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it and agreed. If they demolished the house and rebuilt it, they were afraid that it would not have the original charm. If it turned into a western-style house, it would not fit in with the surroundings. She smiled and said, "Then decorate it well. I plan to keep it as a wedding room."

Jidong's eyes widened, "Who wants to get married?"

"You!" Zhang Xiuhua said as a matter of course, "I heard you have a girlfriend!"

She stared at Jidong with a gossipy look on her face, not missing a single expression on his face.

Jidong blushed, "I...I...not that fast!"

Zhang Xiuhua was just trying to trick him, but she didn't expect it to be true. Moreover, Jidong would show such a shy look, it seemed that he really liked her. She immediately became interested, "When are you going to bring her over to show me?"

She was a little curious about what kind of girl Jidong liked.

"We just talked for a while. Let's wait a little longer." Jidong returned to the previous topic, "Aunt, I have also bought a courtyard house myself. You don't need to prepare a new house for me."

"If you buy it yourself, it's yours. What I prepared for you is a token of my love." Zhang Xiuhua patted his shoulder. "Although you are not my child, I have raised you from childhood and treat you as my own son. It is natural for parents to buy houses for their children. I will give Baolin and Jilin one each. I will keep the extra houses for my own retirement."

Jidong felt warm inside. His aunt was really good to him and never hid anything from him.

"By the way, how did you meet your girlfriend?" Zhang Xiuhua was too curious. She felt that among the six children, Jidong's marriage problem would be the most difficult because she couldn't figure out Jidong's preferences. The other children at least had a template, and she could find them by following the same pattern. Jidong didn't even have a preference, so how could she find one?

Jidong, however, was like a gourd with a sawed mouth. No matter how she asked, he refused to say anything. He was truly "thrifty with words".

Zhang Xiuhua was curious, but she couldn't do anything about him. Oh, the bad thing about children being so opinionated was that they couldn't satisfy her curiosity.
