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

After Baolin gave birth, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo took care of her for a week before returning home.

We don’t plan to celebrate the full month for the two children. We can just hold a welcome party when they come back at the end of the year.

When they got home, Aunt Wang saw her and asked if Baolin had given birth.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled from ear to ear, "It's born! It's a boy."

Aunt Wang was happy, "Good! As long as the mother and child are safe."

She came over and told Zhang Xiuhua something, "Ergou's father came to your door three times a day to see when you would be back. I guess he wanted to know if the baby was born?"

Zhang Xiuhua really knew about this. Ergou said his father called him, but he hung up before he finished speaking. I don't want to bother with him.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll tell him later."

As she was speaking, Aunt Wang curled her lips at her and motioned for her to look back.

Zhang Xiuhua turned around and saw Ergou's father walking towards her with his hands behind his back. He seemed leisurely, but in fact he was very fast. He was right in front of her in the blink of an eye, yet he pretended not to care.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expose him either.

Ergou's father greeted them, "Are you back?"

Li Jianguo nodded, picked up his luggage and went back to the house. Zhang Xiuhua was about to go in. Ergou's father saw this and immediately called them, "Is Baolin born?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought about the fact that the child would have her last name, so she wasn't as confident as before. "It's born. 8.2 jin."

"Boy or girl?" Ergou's father asked immediately, fearing that she would enter the house again.

"Boy. Mother and child are safe." Zhang Xiuhua replied with a smile.

Ergou's father was so happy that he smiled and rubbed his hands with excitement, "I can be considered to have a successor now."

Aunt Wang and Zhang Xiuhua looked at each other, both of them were a little speechless. Aunt Wang was thinking: So what if you have a descendant? Your son doesn't recognize you, but your grandson does?

Zhang Xiuhua's thoughts were different from those of Aunt Wang. She originally wanted Ergou to tell his father, but when she thought about the fact that Baolin was the one who benefited, she couldn't let Baolin be scolded by this family, so she told the truth, "The two children have agreed that the child's surname is Zhang."

Ergou's father opened his eyes wide and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. His ears were buzzing as if ten thousand flies were flying around his ears.

Aunt Wang opened her mouth wide, and suddenly she slapped her thigh and laughed out loud, unable to hold back.

Ergou's father was awakened by the laughter. His smiling face froze. He carefully observed Zhang Xiuhua's facial expression, trying to see if she was lying. Zhang Xiuhua was not afraid of him. She was just telling him that she was not lying to him.

Ergou's father still didn't want to believe it. He took two steps back, his eyes wide open, "No... Impossible! How dare he!"

Zhang Xiuhua thought that his memory was too bad. "Why would Ergou be afraid? You know how stubborn he is."

"The child will take the woman's surname. Doesn't that mean he's marrying into the woman's family? Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by others?" Ergou's father still found it hard to understand his son's train of thought. Did Ergou hate him so much? He hated him so much that he didn't even want to have the same surname as him.

Zhang Xiuhua said quietly, "For Ergou, the surname is not important, what is important is the feelings."

Ergou is very loyal, otherwise he would not have been betrayed by his brother.

Ergou's father looked at her steadily. He understood what she meant. It was just saying that Ergou had no feelings for him.

"Ergou treats you as his godmother and treats you better than to me? Is this how you treat him? He is ignorant, and you don't understand either?" Ergou's father's face turned blue, and his bloodshot eyes were as eerie and terrifying as a ghost. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. The anger in his heart erupted like a volcano. His actions were faster than his brain. He pounced over and strangled Zhang Xiuhua's neck tightly.

Aunt Wang was startled and immediately slapped his hands, "Let go! Are you going to strangle Xiuhua to death?!"

Seeing that he didn't let go, she immediately shouted inside, "Jianguo! Jianguo! Xiuhua is being strangled."

Li Jianguo rushed out of the toilet with a swishing sound. He had just had to pee urgently, so he came to solve his physiological problem. But when he heard Aunt Wang calling him, he came out to see that Zhang Xiuhua had rolled her eyes and her face had turned purple due to being pinched by the other party. He immediately rushed over with a lightning step and kicked the other party to the ground.

Zhang Xiuhua breathed in the fresh air, bent over and coughed, and only then did she feel like she was alive again.

Aunt Wang stroked her back and asked, "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "It's okay."

She was very glad that she told him. If Ergou had told him, he might have caused trouble for Baolin.

After she finally recovered from the shock, she turned around and saw Li Jianguo riding on Ergou's father, punching him again and again, and Ergou's father's face was covered in blood. She was shocked, because Li Jianguo had been to the battlefield, and even though he was old, he was better than a coward like Ergou's father. If he beat someone to death, it would be terrible.

It is not like before, it is hard to be judged as a brave act now. It is more like excessive self-defense, which will lead to jail time.

She held Li Jianguo's hand tightly, "Don't hit me! I'll do it!"

When Li Jianguo came back to his senses, he saw that Ergou's father's face was bruised and swollen, and two teeth were missing. He immediately stood up and looked down at him, "Next time you dare to cause trouble for my wife, you will be beaten up!"

Li Jianguo stopped, but Zhang Xiuhua was still angry. She was almost strangled to death by this man. If Aunt Wang hadn't been there, or if Li Jianguo hadn't been at home, the consequences would have been disastrous.

So when Li Jianguo let go, she couldn't control her anger and sat directly on Ergou's father, stepped on his wrist with one foot, held his hand with one hand, and slapped him in the face with the other hand.

She used all her strength to suck milk. She didn't care how swollen the other person's face would be. She was so angry that she couldn't vent it.

Ergou's father lay on the ground and cried out in pain, "You are too much of a bully! You will not die a good death!"

Zhang Xiuhua’s palms were numb from the beating, and she finally climbed up from Ergou’s father. “You dare to hit me again! I’ll never let you go!”

When other people in the village heard the noise, they came out to watch the fun.

Seeing Ergou's father in such a miserable state, everyone was horrified. "Who beat him? Why did he beat him so hard?"

"Are we being bullied by people from other villages?"

No one thought that it was Li Jianguo who beat him, because he always had a good temper and a good heart, and he never bullied the weak.

Ergou's father covered his cheek, not only was his body in pain, but his heart was in even more pain. He got up from the ground and wiped his face. His palms were all bloody. He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, pointed at Li Jianguo and told the villagers how shameless Li Jianguo was, "It was him! He beat me!"

He stamped his feet and complained about his grievances. "They are such evil-hearted people. I worked so hard to raise Ergou, but he is not filial to me, but only to them. I have raised someone else's son for nothing. I regret it so much, and now I have to be bullied by them."

The villagers felt something was not right. It had been so many years since this happened, and he was only now coming to settle accounts with Jianguo and his wife. Wasn't it a little late? !

Uncle Li thought there must be something else going on. "Tell me in detail why Jianguo bullied you?"

Uncle Wang also didn't believe it. "Jianguo is not that kind of person. You must be a bad mouth! Ergou is not filial to you, and it's really Jianguo's fault. He treats me better than you do?"

Everyone in the village agrees with this. After Ergou becomes rich, he will give back to the villagers, after all, he also ate at other people's houses when he was a child. He will buy them some clothes and gifts.

But he just wouldn’t buy it for his biological father.

Of course, Ergou was most filial to Zhang Xiuhua and her husband. But the villagers were not jealous. After all, they cured Ergou's leg. That was a grace of rebirth. Their little favors were not as good as others.

Ergou's father was so angry that he stamped his feet when he saw that the whole village was on the side of Zhang Xiuhua and her husband. "Baolin gave birth to a child, and it was them who were mean and insisted on giving the child the surname Zhang. Why should my child have the surname Zhang? I went to argue with her, and Li Jianguo beat me and knocked out two of my teeth!"

As soon as he said this, before the villagers went to Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua to verify it, Aunt Wang started to scold him, "You are talking nonsense! Is that a theory? You pinched Xiuhua's neck and almost strangled her to death! I called Jianguo over, and then you two started fighting. You are the first to complain! Why don't I beat you to death!"

She motioned for everyone to look at Zhang Xiuhua's neck, where there was a circle of marks. "That's the wicked thing he did! Your son doesn't want his child to have your last name, so why are you making trouble for Xiuhua? Can Xiuhua persuade Ergou to change his temper? He just doesn't want to have your last name. No matter which woman he marries, he will make his child have the woman's last name!"

The villagers understood now. They said, Li Jianguo couldn't beat people for no reason. There must be a reason.

Aunt Li Si acted as a peacemaker and advised Ergou's father, "Do you still care whether your grandson is filial to you? You should win your son's heart back. Let him be filial to you. Otherwise, he will be like Jinbao's father, who died without anyone to mourn him. How pitiful."

Ergou's father was disheartened when he saw that the villagers did not stand on his side. After being reminded by Aunt Li Si, he also remembered.

He just came here, wanting Zhang Xiuhua and her husband to act as peacemakers, but why did he suddenly become impulsive and hit someone?

Looking at Li Jianguo's angry eyes and Zhang Xiuhua's wary eyes, he looked down at his hands, took two steps back, squatted on the ground, scratched his head, unable to believe that he had made the situation worse.
