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

"Your second brother's place is small, and there are elderly people, children, and a large family living there. There is no place for your father to live." The eldest sister-in-law did not intend to leave a fig leaf for Zhang Wangcai, "Before, Sufen was sick, and your father had a conflict with her."

Zhang Xiuhua asked knowingly, "What conflict? Haven't they always been doing well?"

"What's good about that?" The eldest sister-in-law sneered, "Your aunt is sick and wants treatment, but your father won't let her. He's afraid that if the money is wasted and the disease can't be cured, he won't have money to support himself in his old age. Your second brother was so angry that he moved out and built a house outside."

Zhang Xiuhua glanced at Zhang Wangcai.

Zhang Wangcai did not think he was wrong, and said confidently, "They think they are powerful enough, so they don't support me. I expected this day to come. If I take out all my money, can they support me? Definitely not! I have lived with them for decades, and I have seen through them. They are all unfilial people."

This was also an insult to Zhang Xiuhua. Zhang Xiuhua ignored his indiscriminate attack. She didn't want to be the one who got taken advantage of.

She looked at her sister-in-law and asked, "Who in our village has a large family and has difficulty finding housing?"

The eldest sister-in-law thought that she wanted to sell the house and take her father to live in the northeast. Zhang Wangcai also showed joy on his face. He also let her decide to sell the homestead.

The eldest sister-in-law answered immediately, "My fifth uncle's family. He has three sons and they only got one piece of land. In addition to the old house, there is still one piece of land missing. The land in the village has been distributed long ago. If you want to sell it, I can call him over. Your house is decades old and a bit old, but it can still be sold for some money."

Zhang Xiuhua avoided the question and said, "Can you please call his family over? I need to discuss something with them."

The eldest sister-in-law naturally said nothing and became very happy. "Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll call someone for you now."

As soon as his sister-in-law left, Zhang Wangcai relaxed a lot. He gave Zhang Xiuhua a flattering smile, "Xiuhua, I knew you wouldn't stop supporting me. In fact, I loved you very much when I was a child."

Zhang Xiuhua was not fooled by his flattery at all. She had never been fooled in her last life, and it was even more impossible for her to be fooled in this life. She said calmly, "Really? Tell me, how do you love me?"

Seeing his daughter asking questions, Zhang Wangcai racked his brains for a long time and said, "You liked eating mulberries when you were a child. I will climb the tree and pick some for you."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him coldly, "You remembered it wrong. I did make a fuss to ask you to help me pick mulberries, but you shared them with those two people after picking them. It was my eldest brother who ran to the tree to pick them and accidentally fell from the tree. When you found out, you beat me up and called me a greedy ghost!"

Her eyes were indifferent. People always say that it takes a lifetime to heal the misfortunes of childhood, and this is the case with Zhang Xiuhua. Even though so many years have passed, she still remembers her childhood memories vividly. When she was hungry, her eldest brother always took her around to find food. But her biological father was busy trying to please the two step-sons.

Zhang Wangcai didn't expect that he would hit the horse's hoof by flattering it. He looked embarrassed and as awkward as he could be. Facing Zhang Xiuhua's aggressive gaze, he lowered his voice by a few decibels and said, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. You..."

He wanted to say that you are such a vengeful kid. But he had to ask his daughter for help, so he didn't dare to tell the truth! Alas, when you get old, you have to live by your children's faces. When he arrived in the Northeast, he still had to live by his son-in-law's face. If Shengli was still there... Thinking that he didn't treat Shengli very well, he stopped thinking about it instantly! His shoulders slumped a little.

Just then, my eldest sister-in-law came with my fifth uncle's family.

Zhang Xiuhua stood up and greeted the other party. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu looked at her and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. I almost didn't recognize you. Xiuhua looks young."

The eldest sister-in-law clapped her hands, "That's right. He is only three years younger than me. When we stand together, we look like two generations apart."

Zhang Xiuhua laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is exaggerating. She is not that young."

She held Aunt Wu's hand and said, "Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are in good health."

"What's good about it? It's tiring to work in the fields every day." Uncle Wu waved his hand.

After Zhang Xiuhua exchanged pleasantries, they sat down. Zhang Xiuhua went straight to the point and asked them to take care of her father. "It's too cold in the Northeast. My father is old and can't stand the cold there. Besides, I'm a married woman with three children. They help my three children build houses and find wives. I can't ask them to take care of my father-in-law. How about this, I'll pay you 100 yuan a month to take care of him. He'll eat whatever you eat. I'll give you this house after my father dies."

Everyone was shocked when these words came out. Zhang Wangcai never expected his daughter to do this.

The sister-in-law looked at this and that, and since no one raised any objections, she didn't take the lead.

Uncle Wu was the first to recover and stood up excitedly, "Really?"

"Really!" Zhang Xiuhua assured them, "And I will give you a 10% increase every year. That means it will increase to 110 per month next year. If he gets sick, you take him to the hospital first, then send the list to me and I will reimburse you. You won't have to spend any extra money."

Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu looked at each other. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern. If they don't go out, they can earn 100 yuan just by taking care of him. Although 100 yuan is not much, now they can earn 200 yuan a month by working outside. But that was in other places, this is in their hometown. 100 yuan is enough for the whole family to eat and drink.

Zhang Wangcai was not so happy. It was good to have someone to take care of him, but how could an outsider be the same as his own daughter? He also wanted to have children around him and enjoy the happiness of family. Outsiders are always outsiders.

"You give them so much money, why don't you take care of them yourself? Why waste money? Jianguo would let you do this?" Zhang Wangcai felt that Zhang Xiuhua was bragging. There are many fields in the Northeast, but in recent years, the price of goods has risen, but the price of grain has not risen much. Life in the Northeast is no longer the same as it used to be. Her son-in-law will definitely not be happy with her giving so much money. Don't let him go hungry.

Little did she know that Zhang Xiuhua had already made a plan. She was afraid of trouble. She didn't want to go back to her hometown every few days. In a few years, her father would get sick, and she would have to rush back then.

Now she has someone to take care of him. If he gets sick again, the villagers will just say that he "can't even live a good life and actually got sick. This is not a life of happiness." No one will say that she is unfilial.

It will not affect the future of her children.

Zhang Xiuhua felt that as long as she didn't see him, she wouldn't think about her childhood and she would be in a good mood. She said calmly, "My three children are all grown up and earning wages. I deducted the money from the money they gave me. It didn't go through Jianguo's hands. You don't have to worry about whether he would agree."

When this matter was brought up, the eldest sister-in-law finally remembered something, "Yes! Your Baolin has made great progress. He became a national athlete, skating... ice skating, or skiing, and he is very good. Right?"

At that time, the domestic interest in the Winter Olympics was far less than that in the summer games. These people knew that Baolin won the championship thanks to the national propaganda.

Hearing her mention Baolin, Zhang Xiuhua's face was full of pride, "Yes. She trained very hard."

When his granddaughter won the championship, Zhang Wangcai boasted to the villagers, but she never came back to visit him. The younger generation thought he was bragging and didn't believe him at all. The older generation knew that Zhang Baolin was indeed his granddaughter, but what was the use? She never came back!

Zhang Wangcai finally showed a hint of dissatisfaction at this moment, "She didn't come to see me once!"

"She's busy with training. And you didn't even care about me before, so how could you care about her? You want to see her because she makes you proud!" Zhang Xiuhua didn't give him any face. Some people can't be treated with nice words, otherwise they will be arrogant and make more and more demands.

Zhang Wangcai was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

The eldest sister-in-law was afraid that he would say something unpleasant and spoil everyone's fun, so she asked Zhang Xiuhua, "How is Jidong? That child has been smart since he was young. Is he promising now?"

"Jidong opened a factory in Pengcheng. He is very busy and seldom comes back. Jilin works in a research institute in the provincial capital. He only comes home once at the end of the year." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile.

Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu finally interrupted, "Oh, Jidong is really capable. He can actually open a factory? He must be making a lot of money, right?"

"It's OK." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "I've never asked about the factory, so I don't know much about it."

The eldest sister-in-law asked, "Are the three children married?"

"Jidong and Jilin are married. Baolin is a sports athlete. She is busy with training and has no plans to get married for the time being." Zhang Xiuhua told the truth.

Zhang Wangcai finally calmed down and began to educate her like an elder, "You are too confused. Baolin is a girl. She is 26 years old and already an old maid. You don't help her. How can you be a mother?!"

Zhang Xiuhua felt that she and her father might be incompatible by nature. Whenever she talked to him, she couldn't help but lose her temper. "It doesn't matter whether she gets married or not. As long as she has money, she can still live a good life in the future."

Zhang Wangcai opened his mouth to educate her, but was stopped by his sister-in-law, "That's good. Now we have money. Xiuhua, you are still good at educating children. All three children have great potential."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't go into too much detail, but they already thought it was remarkable. She looked at her uncle and aunt, "Do you agree with my proposal?"

Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu naturally had no objection, "Okay! Of course no problem! We are only responsible for taking care of your father's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, right?"

"Yes! When he is able to move, let him wash his own clothes, call him to eat at mealtime, and clean his own room. You also have to urge him to take a bath and wash his hair. Don't make him too sloppy." Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to be criticized, so this was all she could think of for now.

Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, "No problem. My eldest son and his family are farming, so I'll ask them to come over and take care of them. They will definitely take good care of them."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Zhang Wangcai, "Dad, what do you think?"

Zhang Wangcai didn't want outsiders to take care of him, he wanted his daughter to do it, but she refused, so he had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Xiuhua asked her aunt to ask the village chief to come and help write a care agreement.

With this agreement, after Zhang Wangcai passes away, the homestead and the house will belong to the family of the fifth uncle's eldest son. Anyway, the two younger brothers can't get it for free.
