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

After Zhang Jinbao was beaten, the villagers could see his bruised nose and swollen eyes for several days. Jinbao's wife did not restrain him from going out. He just had to finish the work she assigned him every day.

When Zhang Jinbao was beaten at first, the villagers would advise his wife to hit him less harshly, but after it happened so many times, everyone got annoyed.

A villager asked Zhang Jinbao, "When are you going to get divorced?"

"I have already filed a lawsuit and am still waiting for notification." Zhang Jinbao covered his face and cried bitterly. He came to Li Jianguo to plead, "Can you let her go home? I really can't stand it anymore."

At home, he not only had to wipe the table, wash vegetables, cook, fetch water, wash clothes, but also work in the fields. If he showed a little dissatisfaction, she would beat him! Her beating really hurt.

Li Jianguo also felt sorry for him, but - "You two are husband and wife. Do you think it's reasonable for me to send her back home? Even if you call the police, they won't dare to chase her away."

Zhang Jinbao regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, "If I had known earlier, I should not have married her."

Li Jianguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just bear with it for now and go along with her. When you file for divorce and the judge grants the divorce, I will definitely stand up for you."

Hope appeared in Zhang Jinbao's eyes. "Really?"

"Really! If you two get divorced, I will let the whole village kick her out." Li Jianguo looked at his face. There was really no good skin at all. It was blue and purple, and it was scary to look at.

Zhang Jinbao regained hope, but before he could be happy, the shrew's loud voice rang out from outside, "Zhang Jinbao! Zhang Jinbao! Get out now!"

Zhang Jinbao shuddered all over and subconsciously wanted to hide. Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua stared at him. This was not his home. He could hide for a day, but not for a night. He scratched his head and said, "Then I'll go home!"

He took two or three steps out of the hall, and after a few steps, he was dragged home by his wife's ears. From time to time, he could hear her scolding, "You just ran away without a trace?!"

"Are you rebelling against heaven?"

"You dare to run again! I'll break your legs!"

……

Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua looked at each other.

Li Jianguo winked at Zhang Jinbao, meaning that Zhang Jinbao should be patient and do housework diligently according to his wife's request. There is one good thing about Jinbao's wife: she will not hit people for no reason.

Zhang Jinbao endured it for a while, but he had never done so much work since he was a child. Before the court session, he couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Li Jianguo again, "Uncle village chief, please help me. Look at my hands."

Li Jianguo took a look but didn't see any wounds. He was confused and asked, "What's wrong? Can't you move your hand?"

Zhang Jinbao couldn't believe it. He pointed at the calluses on his fingertips and said, "Look, it's hard here."

Li Jianguo resisted the urge to get angry. He had never seen Zhang Jinbao's hands before, so he didn't know that this boy's hands were more delicate than those of a girl. Seeing him making a fuss, he thought he was mentally ill and said unhappily, "Isn't it normal for rural people to have calluses on their hands? You are not the young master of a wealthy family!"

If you work hard, you won't be beaten. He couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid person in the world who insisted on going against his wife even though he knew she was a tigress.

Zhang Jinbao didn't expect that he was so miserable. The village chief didn't sympathize with him at all. Instead, he scolded him. He felt so wronged that he wanted to cry, "Village chief! I really can't live with her anymore. Please help me!"

Li Jianguo was helpless. "The court is still waiting for the appointment. Even if you beg me, I can't do anything. I can't control the court."

Zhang Xiuhua watched from the side and felt sorry for the child. She didn't want to go to court every day to judge their case. She didn't want to be abused by her husband and cry all day long. People from other villages passing by would think that the people in their village were bad. Who would be willing to marry a girl from their village?

She gave Zhang Jinbao some advice, "Your uncle can't do anything about the court. But as long as you two agree, go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate. Ask your wife how she can divorce you, and then you can prescribe the right medicine."

Zhang Jinbao was stunned, and then his face showed fear, "I dare not!"

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were speechless and said unhappily, "Then just bear with it!"

I don't even have the courage to file for divorce. Then I'll be beaten for the rest of my life.

Zhang Jinbao begged Li Jianguo, but the village chief's power was limited. He tried to persuade Li Jianguo during the day, but he still beat Li Jianguo at night even though they slept in the same bed! What could he do? He couldn't possibly separate them, could he?! The Zhang family didn't have any extra rooms?!

It was just a joke for Zhang Jinbao to come and ask them for help.

Zhang Xiuhua kindly advised her, "I tell you, there is a 90% chance that you will not be able to get a divorce the first time you apply for it. The best way is to negotiate with your wife."

In her previous life, Zhang Xiuhua had a friend who had a lover outside. She went back home and wanted to divorce her husband. But her husband refused to leave. After four years of litigation, the court refused to grant the divorce. In the end, she ran away and did not return home for many years.

Zhang Jinbao made a fuss for a while and finally went home in a bad mood.

Not long after Zhang Jinbao left, Zhang Xiuhua received a call from Zhuzhu, saying that her idol drama had passed review and would be broadcast on CCTV-1 soon.

Zhang Xiuhua was shocked this time because this was an idol drama and she thought CCTV only broadcast life dramas.

"Other TV stations will also broadcast it." Zhuzhu's voice was full of joy. "I will also participate in interviews and recommend this TV series."

Zhang Xiuhua smiled from ear to ear, "That's great. You have to perform well."

In just two days, Zhuzhu's first TV series as the heroine was officially aired. She was bored at home, so she just watched TV series to kill time.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang also watched with her.

When the opening theme song came out, Aunt Wang was a little surprised, "Is this at school?"

"Yes! It's about a group of college students falling in love and looking for jobs." Zhang Xiuhua listened to the opening theme song, which was a Japanese song covered by Zhuzhu. Her voice was very sweet and fit the theme of the TV series very well.

The TV series begins with Zhuzhu entering university and falling in love with the male protagonist at first sight.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were watching the plot, while Zhang Xiuhua was paying attention to Zhuzhu's acting skills. It must be said that Zhuzhu's acting skills were really good this time. She brought a playful and cute girl to life. When she met the boy she liked, her shy and ignorant look made people reluctant to let her down.

Aunt Wang was also watching with great interest. She even took it seriously. "Oh, your Zhuzhu won't have to worry about not finding a partner. These two kids are in love with each other."

In the eyes of rural people, Zhuzhu is old enough to find a partner, so her words are sincere compliments.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No. This is a TV show, it's fake. How can you take it seriously?"

Aunt Wang didn't believe it. "Fake? Look at the look in her eyes, how could it be fake? She wouldn't hide it from you on purpose, would she?"

Zhang Xiuhua felt that Zhuzhu would not hide it from her, because that child is completely childish and knows nothing about love. "No! Ergou is looking at her. If she really likes a boy, Ergou must know it."

Aunt Wang believed it, "Then how come she acted so well?"

Zhang Xiuhua also found it incredible. Zhuzhu had never been in a relationship before, but she acted out this kind of admiring look so well. How did this child do it?

She wanted to ask Zhuzhu, but she had no way to contact her.

Fortunately, Zhuzhu contacted her first and told her a good news that the TV series had a high audience rating of 60% last night. At that time, there were not many TV stations, and the production cost of TV series was high. Many of them were co-productions, or simply TV series imported from abroad. But as long as it was a TV series shot in China, the TV stations would give priority to broadcasting it. The reason was very simple, because Ergou's cost of shooting this idol drama was very low, and foreign TV series were expensive. In order to save money, many TV stations would definitely be willing to buy domestic ones.

If CCTV buys the copyright, other TV stations can save a lot of money by just broadcasting it.

Because of this, the drama became a huge hit. It became a hit at the end of the year, with a higher viewership than any other TV series that had aired before.

Zhuzhu also told Zhang Xiuhua, "Several brands have contacted my second brother and asked me to shoot commercials. Mom, I'm going to be famous!"

Zhang Xiuhua listened to her happy voice and was also delighted, "Zhuzhu, Mom knows you are very capable, but we have to keep a low profile so that others won't be jealous of you. When you come home, I will celebrate with you."

Zhuzhu responded loudly, "Okay."

Zhang Xiuhua asked her, "How come you act so well when you've never been in a relationship?"

Zhuzhu heard her question clearly and told her, "When I was acting, I thought about being caught by Youcai eating cake and him scolding me and being mean to me, and I was very scared. But the director said I acted well and approved it."

Zhang Xiuhua: “…”

She was asked to act shyly, which was exactly what it said. How could she say that this child had a rich imagination? She actually acted out love as a scene of being caught! The key point was that she didn't see it at all!

"Don't tell anyone about this!" Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that the audience's filter would be broken.

Zhuzhu is an obedient child and readily agreed, "I know. My second brother told me that stars must maintain a sense of mystery. They can be down-to-earth in their words and deeds. But I can't do that when filming. The audience will recognize the reality and won't like me anymore."

Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief. With Ergou teaching Zhuzhu, this child has avoided many detours compared to other actors.
