Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days
Chapter 7 He's Going
Zhang Xiuhua rushed to the captain's house in a hurry. No one knew what she said, but she rushed out again soon like a gust of wind.
She returned to the threshing ground and took the two children to find Zhang Wangcai.
She wanted to save her nephew, so she couldn't take the two children with her. The whole village could only be handed over to Zhang Wangcai. After all, no matter how selfish he was, he would not harm the children.
As for Jin Sufen, she was a sweet-looking person with a bitter heart. Although she was not a good stepmother, she was not so bad that she would be hated by the gods and the people.
She smiled bitterly. After meeting Xu Dayong's family of scum, she now felt that everyone she looked at had some humanity.
Zhang Xiuhua brought the children to the main hall, where Zhang Wangcai, Jin Sufen and Chen Guoqing's family were all there.
Yesterday, Chen Guoqiang came to the old house and made a scene, demanding half of the money. Chen Guoqing had a big fight with his brother. In the end, Jin Sufen agreed to give 100 yuan to calm her second son's anger.
When Chen Guoqing saw Zhang Xiuhua coming, his face became extremely ugly when he thought about the hundred yuan he had given her.
Zhang Xiuhua pretended not to notice their cold faces and simply explained her purpose.
Zhang Wangcai couldn't help but be surprised. "Really?"
Zhang Wangcai certainly cared about his only grandson. It's not that he hadn't thought about looking for a grandson, but China is so big, where can he find a child?
Jin Sufen looked at her suspiciously, "Who told you that?"
"I heard it from the educated youth who returned to the city. I used to be close to them."
With a husband who was an educated youth, it was impossible for Zhang Xiuhua to have no contact with the educated youth. Jin Sufen did not doubt it.
But she felt that Zhang Xiuhua's purpose of coming to the old house was definitely not to ask them to help take care of the children for a few days. She might have other purposes. "Are you trying to cheat us out of money? We don't have any money to give you."
Zhang Xiuhua was stunned by her question. She had never thought of asking them for money. She turned to Zhang Wangcai and said, "Don't worry. I will raise the child myself when I find him. You don't have to worry about me."
She paused and warned them, "If you take good care of Baolin and Jilin, and if they become thin and hungry, you will have to pay to support Jidong. I mean what I say."
Zhang Wangcai is Jidong’s biological grandfather, so it’s his duty to pay for raising the child.
Jin Sufen was frightened by her fierce eyes and suddenly felt aggrieved, "How can you say such heartless words? I beat you and scolded you. I also didn't feed you. How can you be so heartless? Can I starve them to death?!"
She asked Zhang Wangcai to judge whether she was a cruel stepmother.
Zhang Wangcai had just been harassed by her last night, and she was harassed again today. He was really a little overwhelmed. He glared at his daughter and said, "Have your aunt Jin and I ever treated you badly? You said such heartless words."
Zhang Xiuhua pouted, which meant that she was not starving to death. When she got married, she didn't have any dowry. Her brother didn't either. But when Chen Guoqing and Chen Guoqiang got married, they gave a betrothal gift and bought bicycles, clothes, wooden boxes, furniture and so on.
Thinking of her sister-in-law, Zhang Xiuhua sighed and said nothing more. She only told them to take good care of them and left with the children.
As soon as he left the old house, Baolin asked eagerly, "Mom, who is Jidong?"
Baolin is six years old this year, and Jidong is seven. It was lost three years ago, when Baolin was only three years old, and he had long forgotten that he had a cousin.
Zhang Xiuhua touched her daughter's head and said, "Jidong is your uncle's son. He was kidnapped before. Mom is going to pick him up. He will live with us in the future."
Jilin jumped with his short legs, "I like my brother. I can play with him now."
Jilin was young, and Baolin was a girl, three years older than him, so she was not very happy to have a follower. If he had a brother, Jilin would have a companion.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and when they were about to reach the door of their home, they saw a figure standing there. Zhang Xiuhua looked closely and found that it was the soldier.
She was a little confused. Why did this person come to her house?
Li Jianguo turned around when he heard the noise. He learned from the captain that she was going to Muxi County with a letter of introduction. That place was xenophobic and extremely patriarchal. The local customs were not very friendly to women. Zhang Xiuhua was so young. If she went alone to steal the child, everyone would be happy if she succeeded. But if she failed, she would most likely be detained by the locals as a daughter-in-law.
But thinking of Zhang Xiuhua's stubborn eyes, he advised her not to go, and she probably would not give up. After thinking it over, he always felt that it was his telling the truth that dampened the enthusiasm of the villagers.
He saluted her and said, "Comrade, I heard you were going to Muxi County? I happen to be going there to visit my teammates. Let's go together, so we can have company on the road."
Afraid that she might misunderstand, he pulled out his ID again and said, "I am a soldier and a comrade-in-arms of Comrade Zheng Jun. I will mention this to Comrade Zheng Jun's father so that he won't worry about your safety."
Zhang Xiuhua glanced at him, what a coincidence.
She didn't doubt that the soldier would cheat her. First, his identity gave her confidence. Second, soldiers were fed with military rations, and their income was much higher than that of farmers. The little money she had was a huge sum for farmers, but nothing for soldiers. She nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Seeing that Zhang Xiuhua agreed, Li Jianguo didn't want to disturb her any further, so he turned around and went back to the captain's house and mentioned the matter to the captain.
The captain was also a little shocked. "This is a good thing. If it was someone else, I would still be worried. With a soldier like you accompanying her, she will definitely come back safe and sound. Xiuhua had a hard time. The educated youth she married returned to the city and abandoned her and her child."
When Li Jianguo heard Zhang Xiuhua say that she was raising two children by herself, he thought her husband was dead, but he didn't expect that she had abandoned her. He felt a pity that the good cabbage was eaten by the pig.
After Li Jianguo left the house, the captain's mother came over and quietly asked her son what was going on.
The captain told Li Jianguo about his plan.
The captain's mother is not as honest as her son. By the way? Just listen to him bragging. They asked him if he had been to Muxi County before, why didn't he mention it? It's obvious that he is interested in Xiuhua.
The captain's mother was a nosy person. After discovering this big secret, she asked Li Jianguo about his family situation in all aspects.
Li Jianguo also has three children, but his wife died when they were giving birth to the third child. He was in the army and his rank was not high enough, so he had to leave his three children in his hometown to be taken care of by their mother.
The captain's mother was immediately delighted, this was a marriage destined by heaven.
One was kicked by a man, the other is a widower, and both have three children. No one should look down on the other.
Li Jianguo is a soldier and his hometown is in Northeast China, which is the granary of the motherland. He is not worried about not being able to feed his children. In addition, he has a monthly salary, so it is not a problem for him to feed six children.
The more she watched, the more satisfied she became.
So she mentioned Xiuhua in front of Li Jianguo intentionally or unintentionally. Although Xiuhua had two children, she was not bad looking. If she didn't have two burdens, she could still find a rural boy as a second marriage.
"Xiuhua is a kind and righteous child. After her brother passed away, she focused on finding her nephew. She said that no matter how bad the conditions were, she would support her nephew. It is hard to find such a kind and righteous girl. Even if she becomes a stepmother, there is no need to worry about her abusing the children. The man can be at ease while he is busy outside. Some stepmothers beat the original children to death. You must find a good one to remarry. I wanted to see Xiuhua before. There was a childless widower who wanted to marry her, but she was afraid that she would have to give birth to children after remarrying, and she would be wronged by the previous two, so she refused. You say it is hard to find such a good woman with a lantern."
Li Jianguo had not thought about this at first, but after hearing what the captain's mother said, he nodded in agreement. Some people are so mean that they don't even love their own children. If you really want to find a stepmother for your child, you have to choose someone with a good heart.
