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

When Zhang Juemei fled from her hometown to Xiamen, she didn't need an ID card. She was young and could only work illegally.

The monthly salary was only half of what others received. Every night, I had to live in fear that the police would come to check on the migrants. If they were caught, they would be sent back to their hometown.

She never dared to sleep deeply, and would jump up immediately at the slightest movement.

Two years passed like this, and she returned to her hometown and met her benefactor Aunt Zhang, who helped her get a certificate and a new ID card. She bought a temporary residence permit, so she could walk on the street like a normal person and see the city under construction. Her life was back on track.

She worked hard to save money. Growing up without the love of her parents, she knew the power of money.

She lived frugally. When she first started working in a factory, she earned a few dozen yuan a month, and she was able to save most of it.

She remembered Aunt Zhang saying that she must not forget to study. Working in the city and repeating the same thing every day would make her mind rigid and unable to think flexibly.

She changed her job and went to work as a nanny in Pengcheng, South China. Her first employer was a cultured man. The old couple had a daughter and loved each other very much. The girl was already 17 or 18 years old, but she couldn't even cook.

Zhang Juemei was envious. The girl was a very nice person. In her spare time, she would chat with her and ask about her family situation.

Knowing that she wanted to study, the girl recommended her to go to night school and get a diploma. Zhang Juemei was reluctant to spend money and wanted to improve herself, so she signed up for English.

Aunt Zhang is in the Northeast, which borders Russia. She can learn Russian so that she can communicate with Russian people and do business with them. She is in Pengcheng, where there are many foreigners who speak English. She can learn English so that she can earn money from foreigners in the future.

With the help of the girl, it only took her half a year to learn basic spoken English.

Girls all praised her as a good student, but unfortunately she was born in the wrong family and was delayed.

Later, the girl went abroad to study, and her parents went abroad to accompany her.

With their recommendation, Zhang Juemei worked as a nanny for a foreign family. Because she knew English, her monthly salary more than doubled.

She did this for four or five years, and when she had saved some money, she bought a house in Pengcheng and had her own home.

The day she got the house was the happiest day for her.

That day was also a rest day, and she walked around in circles in her new house alone, sighing with contentment.

Although the house was bare, empty, and had nothing in it, and she didn't even have the money to renovate it after buying it, she was still very happy. From then on, she no longer had to wander around, and no longer had to worry about someone kicking her out of the house.

After she came out, she decided to treat herself to a good meal. So she rarely cooked for herself, but went to a restaurant that she could afford but looked very high-end.

After sitting down, she ordered a plate of fried rice noodles and even added shredded pork.

While waiting, she would occasionally touch her bag, which was her house deed. It was the result of her ten years of hard work. All the hard work was worth it.

"Your fried rice noodles!" A slightly heavy female voice sounded. Zhang Juemei subconsciously looked up to thank her, but just this one look made her stunned.

"Miss!"

Zhang Daya was stunned, and after carefully identifying her for a long time, she was sure that this was Jue Mei. She was a little hesitant to recognize her, "Why are you here?"

When Zhang Daya eloped with a man, Zhang Juemie had not yet faked her own death and escaped. She had always thought that her sister would marry in her hometown. Who would have thought that the two sisters would meet in the far south.

Zhang Juemei explained that she came here to work.

Zhang Daya still had to go to work and couldn't chat with her sister, so she asked her to finish her meal and wait for her to get off work.

Zhang Juemei nodded, finished her meal, and waited at the door for two hours before Zhang Daya finally got off work.

The two sisters told each other about their situations over the years.

Zhang Daya eloped with a salesman because she couldn't stand the beatings from her husband.

Later, in order to find a job, she got a fake ID card, and then the two of them worked in a factory, had a child, and formed a complete family.

"My life is ordinary. But he doesn't beat me, so I am satisfied."

This is the situation for most people. Without education or skills, if they want to gain a foothold in this big city, they can only do the lowest level of work. As long as they have enough food and clothing, forget about anything else.

Zhang Juemie asked her, "Have you bought a house here?"

Zhang Daya looked at her in surprise, "How is that possible? Houses here are so expensive. We renovated the house in our hometown. In a few years, when the children grow up, we will go back."

Zhang Juemei pursed her lips and released her hand from her bag. She originally planned to show the property certificate to her elder sister, but then she silently withdrew her hand and only asked her, "Do you know what the Liu family did after you eloped?"

Zhang Daya knew that she eloped with a local, not a stranger. Her husband had heard about it from fellow villagers. She nodded and said, "Erya..."

She was sad, but there was nothing she could do.

Zhang Juemie didn't say anything, "Have you met the Third Sister, the Fifth Sister, and the Sixth Sister?"

Zhang Daya was even more shocked than she was, "They are here too?"

"Yes! I heard it from Aunt Zhang. So I came here to try my luck, but I never met her once." The reason why Zhang Juemei came to Pengcheng was to find her sisters, but unfortunately she had bad luck and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. She never met her once.

Zhang Daya nodded, "That's good, at least they escaped from that home."

Zhang Daya took her sister to her rental house. It was a remote place, the rent was not cheap, and it was enough for the couple.

"Where do you live?"

"I'll be a live-in nanny, so I don't have to rent a house." Zhang Juemei didn't plan to live in her own home. She would save some more money, renovate the house, and rent it out, at least she could earn some extra income.

Zhang Daya asked about her sister's salary and found out that it was twice as much as hers per month. She immediately asked about the situation, "How can I become a nanny?"

"The salary of an ordinary nanny is not high. I can speak English and work as a nanny for foreigners, so I can earn twice as much." Zhang Juemei interrupted her elder sister's delusion with a word.

When she heard that she also needed to know English, Zhang Daya gave up immediately, "English? That's too difficult."

"It's not difficult. Just study at night school and practice more. We are not teachers. Just normal communication will be enough." Zhang Juemei saw that her elder sister was having such a hard time, so as her own sister, she still encouraged her elder sister to go out.

But when the eldest sister learned that the enrollment fee for night school for one semester was several hundred yuan, she shook her head like a rattle, "No! I have children to raise at home, and I don't have that much spare money."

Zhang Juemei immediately gave up the idea and stopped persuading her.

"By the way, are you married?" Zhang Daya asked curiously.

"No!" Zhang Juemei shook her head.

"Let me introduce you to someone." Zhang Daya felt that her sister's marriage was delayed. "You are already 26 years old, how can you not get married?"

Zhang Juemei only said that she was not married.

Zhang Daya thought her sister was too foolish not to get married. She talked a lot and finally Zhang Juemei ran away.

The two sisters lived in such an ordinary way. Zhang Juemei repeatedly rejected her elder sister's kindness and was never willing to go on a blind date.

When she saves some money, she will use her free time to renovate the house herself. There is no need to renovate it. Just paint the walls, lay the floor, buy some furniture, install lights and curtains, and then you can rent it out.

When she went to the decoration market, she met her third sister.

It wasn't her who recognized the third sister first, it was the third sister who recognized her first and kept staring at her. Zhang Juemei noticed something was wrong, and when she turned her head, she saw a young woman staring at her without blinking.

"Are you Jue Mei?" Zhang San Ya couldn't believe her eyes. "Didn't you fall into the water?"

Zhang Juemei no longer had the urgency to recognize her relatives. She was annoyed by recognizing her eldest sister, and now that she saw her third sister, she was afraid that there would be another person urging her to get married, so she nodded and said, "I was running away at first."

Zhang Sanya was stunned for a long time, but soon accepted the reality, "You are smart and know how to plan for yourself."

She smiled and took her sister to her store. Her husband specialized in producing paints and she was in charge of sales. When they arrived at the store, she called Wu Ya and Liu Ya.

Upon learning that their sister was not dead, the two came over quickly.

Everyone asked each other about their recent situation, and Zhang Juemei said that she was working as a nanny.

Wu Ya also married a local man. Her husband's family is in the timber business.

Liu Ya smiled and said, "They all picked good partners. They are capable. My partner is a bit useless. He just lies around and eats and drinks."

San Ya laughed and scolded her, "Just be content. Your man has so many houses, and he doesn't have to worry about food and drink."

It turned out that Liu Ya married a local, and was lucky enough to catch up with the demolition project. Her husband quit his job and played games at home all day.

Zhang Juemei told them the address of her eldest sister.

The three sisters were also very happy, "It turns out that the eldest sister is so close to us. It's a pity that we have never met her."

The intersection is different and it is difficult to encounter.

The three sisters didn't care that Juemei had never married, and they didn't insist on introducing her to anyone.

Soon the five sisters got together, and under the persuasion of her three sisters, Daya stopped introducing anyone to her younger sister.

But Juemei got married in the end. She met an orphan who was also without parents like her. They were of similar financial status. After they got married, they bought two shops and turned them into restaurants. Their prices were not expensive and they had many guests. They lived an ordinary life.
