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

The matter was left unresolved. Li Jianguo beat the man half to death, and Zhang Xiuhua couldn't call the police to arrest him. So she just let it go.

Ergou's father came home with a bruised face. Ergou's stepmother slapped her thigh and asked, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Although her husband said he was going to Xiuhua's house before he left, hoping that the two of them would make peace, the other party might not agree, but she didn't think that Li Jianguo and his wife would hit anyone. After all, they were gentlemen and had never bullied others.

Ergou's father told him exactly what had just happened.

Ergou's stepmother didn't care much about surnames. If she cared, she wouldn't have given the puppy the surname Li, but hers. She complained to him, "Can't you control your temper? Ergou is so rich, if he just gives away a little, it would be enough for us to live on in our old age. Why are you arguing with them?"

Without waiting for Ergou's father to refute, she started to scold Li Jianguo and his wife, saying they were good-for-nothings, "They are the ones who taught Ergou bad things. They alienated the relationship between you and Ergou."

Ergou's father was speechless. She had said both the right and the wrong things to him. What kind of person was he supposed to be? He turned around and went back to the house, lying on the kang, motionless.

Ergou's stepmother ignored her, so she went to the old village chief's house to borrow a phone.

Life has been good in recent years. The old village chief's children have gone to work in other places, making it inconvenient to write letters. Zhang Xiuhua and her husband are often not at home, making it inconvenient to answer the phone, so he spent money to install a telephone.

When villagers need something, they are happy to call the old village chief.

Song Lianhua and the old village chief died two years ago. Guoxiang's mother is now the head of the family. When she saw Ergou's stepmother coming over, she greeted her and asked, "Calling Xiaogou again?"

Ergou’s stepmother nodded.

"International calls are expensive. Why are you doing this?" Guoxiang's mother thought she might as well save the money to buy some food. The puppy clearly didn't want to come back. It was useless to call him.

Ergou's stepmother was unwilling to give up. She only had this one son. Ergou was jealous of his childhood and would definitely not be filial to her. She could only count on her own son.

After she dialed, no one answered the phone, and she left the hospital a little disappointed.

I had only taken a few steps when I was stopped from behind. It was a young girl, very beautiful, with a video recording device and a microphone.

"Hello! We are reporters from ** TV station. I would like to ask how to get to Li Qi's house?" The girl was very polite and had a bright smile.

Ergou's stepmother was slightly startled. After thinking for a while, she finally remembered that Li Qi was Ergou's real name. She nodded and said, "I am Li Qi's mother. Who are you?"

She deliberately didn't mention her stepmother, fearing that the other party would have a bad impression.

The host didn't expect his luck to be so good. "It's like this, we want to interview Li Qi about his entrepreneurial history."

Ergou was born in a grassroots family. His instant noodles became the leading instant noodles brand in China. Recently, the financial crisis broke out and it is hard to find a job. The country encourages people to start their own businesses. So these bigwigs became the role models.

Ergou's stepmother told the story of Li Qi setting up a stall to sell things.

These have never been mentioned before. The host took a recorder and recorded them.

After talking for a while, Ergou's stepmother felt thirsty, so she took them home and sat down to record slowly.

The host naturally agreed and also interviewed Li Qi about the place where he lived when he was a child.

When they got home, the host was a little surprised. "This house was built more than ten years ago, right? Li Qi is so rich, didn't he renovate his old house?"

When talking about this, Ergou's stepmother felt very aggrieved and started to complain about how Ergou was an unfilial boy and how bad he was to her and his father.

These things have never been revealed before. The host looked serious and was about to ask in detail.

Ergou's father came out from the inner room and interrupted his wife's chatter, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by unfilial? Who are you? You are his stepmother, are you good to him? Why should he be filial to you?!"

When the host heard that she was a stepmother, his face changed. No wonder this person kept saying bad things about Li Qi. It turns out she is not her biological mother. No wonder.

Ergou's father found a place to sit down and asked them, "Who are you?"

The host immediately introduced herself, "We are from ** TV station, and we want to produce a story about a big boss starting a business." But before the interview, she pointed at his face and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

Ergou's father smiled embarrassedly and said, "I drank too much last night and got into a fight with someone."

The host didn't want to ask any more questions.

Ergou's father told the story he knew. He had set up a street stall with Ergou before, and he knew more about it than his wife.

After the host finished recording, he asked about the house.

Ergou's father said, "Li Qi comes back to the village every year for the New Year. He said he would build a new house for us. But we are too old to live for a few more years. So I refused."

Ergou's stepmother was so angry that her teeth itched. With such a good opportunity for revenge, what's wrong with the old man? Why did he help Ergou to lie?! Everyone outside should know that Ergou is not a good person and he is unfilial to his elders!

The host suddenly realized what was going on and asked some more questions. He took some photos of the house where Ergou lived when he was a child. Ergou's father wanted to keep them at his home for dinner, but the host refused.

After seeing off the guests, Ergou's stepmother couldn't help herself any longer. "Why did you help him? He doesn't even respect you! And you're still flattering him? Why are you so cowardly?"

"I'm a coward?" Ergou's father thought his wife was a fool. "He even refused to share my last name. Don't you realize the seriousness of the problem? Your precious son is far away in a foreign country. Do you think he will come back to be filial to us?"

Ergou's stepmother was not convinced, "Yes! If Xiaogou doesn't come back, you want to count on Ergou? Is it possible?"

"I don't want filial piety! I just want him to give me alimony on time in the future." Ergou's father pointed ahead, "You saw what happened to Zhang Jinbao's mother. She only gave him 300 yuan a month. She had eight children, but she was always nagging and unwilling to pay. Then she got sick? She was dragged to death! Do you want to be like her?"

Speaking of Zhang's mother, Ergou's stepmother shuddered. As a mother herself, Zhang's mother's ending was really sad.

Ergou's father felt that he had done a good thing for his son. He wanted to tell his son about it, but when he called him, he found that he had been blocked by his son.

So he thought about it and decided to find Zhang Xiuhua.

Zhang Xiuhua was eating roasted sweet potatoes at home, watching TV with Li Jianguo, and discussing Zhuzhu's latest TV series. It was a criminal investigation drama, which Zhang Xiuhua liked very much.

Just then, Ergou's father's shouting was heard outside.

Li Jianguo frowned, and when he saw Zhang Xiuhua getting up to check, he stood up first and said, "I'll go check on him. He's a lunatic, don't let him come back and hurt you again."

Although Zhang Xiuhua's neck is fine now, crazy people are sometimes unreasonable.

He opened the door and closed it to prevent the cold wind from rushing into the house. He stared coldly at Ergou's father, "What are you doing here? Haven't you had enough of being beaten?"

Ergou's father listened to him talking about the past and touched the part where he was hit. This guy was so cruel. He said shamelessly, "I came to apologize to my sister-in-law. I didn't mean to strangle her to death. I was just too angry. I couldn't control my temper for a while."

Li Jianguo crossed his arms and looked at him coldly, the meaning was very clear "You keep making up stories! Keep making up stories."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ergou's father got anxious, "Really, I'm not lying to you. I've beaten my wife many times."

Li Jianguo interrupted him, "Is beating your wife an honorable thing? And you want me to give you an award?!"

Ergou's father smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes! It's my fault." Seeing that Li Jianguo was impatient and wanted to go into the house, he cut to the chase, "Well...someone just came. Two hosts wanted to interview us and ask about Ergou. My wife said he was unfilial, so I scolded him."

Li Jianguo looked at him gloomily. Was he trying to take credit? Or was he threatening Ergou? Whatever the purpose, Li Jianguo didn't care. "You still have some conscience."

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Ergou's father also moved closer with a shameless face, "That's right. Ergou is my son after all. Although he still holds a grudge today, I treat him as my own son. I'm not the only parent in our village who beats his children. But Ergou is the only one who cut off ties with his father. If this gets out, it won't affect his reputation."

Li Jianguo ignored his moral blackmail, "You have no right to tell me. It's not me who made Ergou hate you. He has a good memory and remembers everything from his childhood. How can you make him forget it in a short time?!"

Ergou's father gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't find trouble with Li Jianguo, so he apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes! I know Ergou's temper. I just want to tell him. I did do something wrong."

Li Jianguo glanced at him, turned around and went back to the house.

Ergou's father shouted from behind, "Don't forget to tell Ergou. I really don't have bad intentions this time."

Li Jianguo entered the house, and Zhang Xiuhua heard the voice outside, "What happened? What did he ask you to tell Ergou?"

Li Jianguo recounted the incident, "Do you think he was threatening Ergou, or was he trying to take credit?"

Zhang Xiuhua was really unsure, "It doesn't matter what he thinks. What matters is what Ergou thinks."

Li Jianguo thought about it and it made sense. "Then should I tell him about this?"

"Tell me." Zhang Xiuhua touched her neck, "Tell me about how you almost strangled me to death. What if Baolin goes crazy again and strangles Baolin when he comes back for the New Year?"

Li Jianguo nodded. He called Ergou and told him everything that happened, even the order.

Hearing that Zhang Xiuhua was almost strangled to death by her father, Ergou was extremely anxious, "Why did godmother tell you in advance? I wanted to piss him off to death in front of him."

"Your mother was afraid that he would do something bad to Baolin. She wanted to let him vent his anger in advance. But she didn't expect that your father actually wanted to strangle her to death." Li Jianguo felt that Xiuhua underestimated the anger of Ergou's father.

Ergou felt warm in his heart. His mother was so kind and would always consider her children. His face turned blue with anger. "This is my own child. I can choose whose surname I want. He has no right to interfere."

Li Jianguo also told the host about the interview and how his father helped to cover for him.

Ergou's face turned cold. "Is he threatening me? Does he think I'm a child? Tell him to tell the TV station. He can even go on the show and scold me. I don't think anyone can control me?!"

Li Jianguo glanced at Zhang Xiuhua. Well, his wife was right. Ergou really thought his father was threatening him.

It's also the old guy's fault for being so mean! The child no longer believes him!

Ergou wants to come back to support them and scold his father.

Li Jianguo hurriedly stopped him, "Baolin and the child still need your care. You don't need to do such a small thing. I will protect your mother. Just take good care of Baolin."

Ergou gave up the idea and repeatedly told Zhang Xiuhua not to go out alone at night, lest she fall into his father's trap again.

Zhang Xiuhua agreed.

The Chinese New Year is here. Every household is buying New Year's goods, cleaning the house, and preparing for the New Year.

Ergou's father learned from Li Jianguo early on that Ergou would be back to celebrate the New Year, so he asked his wife to clean the house early in the morning.

Ergou's stepmother thought that even if he cleaned up the place, Ergou wouldn't come over, and all her work would be in vain.

Ergou's father glared at him and said, "Just clean up when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I did a good thing this time."

Ergou's stepmother left quickly.

Ergou's father stood at the entrance of the village, looking forward to it. It was winter, the ground was icy and snowy, and heavy snow was falling. Aunt Wang came out to take out the garbage, and when she saw this scene, she asked him why he didn't go home.

Ergou's father said cheerfully, "My son is coming back today."
