Forced to raise

Ren Ze is not worried about Li Jianguo at all. If Li Jianguo wanted to fight for the custody of the child when he divorced Zhang's mother more than ten years ago, it would be possible. But now, after 15 years of abandoning his wife and son, Zhang The mother brought up the child alone, and the child has grown up. Even if it goes to court, no judge will award the child to Li Jianguo. Even Zhang Xiaolong and the others have no obligation to Li Jianguo, the father.

In this matter, Li Jianguo was not reasonable.

Even though Li Jianguo is more or less a successful person compared to some secret operations, he is definitely not comparable to the Ren family.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong has grown up, Xiaohu has been adopted by the Ren family, and the remaining Zhang Xiaoyun is a girl.

From any perspective, Ren Ze feels that Li Jianguo's desire to fight for custody is simply a daydream.

Ren Ze analyzed the situation for Zhang's mother, "Auntie, why don't you live in another place? It will be convenient when you go to X City in the future." After all, this is Wei Xinyu's hometown.

Zhang's mother had no objection either. The city was indeed more convenient. At the beginning, he chose this small town to settle down because he thought it was a remote place and the chance of meeting Li Jianguo was small. Unexpectedly, the place he chose was Wei Xinyu's hometown.

Suddenly, with a click, the door was pushed open from the outside, and everyone was stunned. Xiaohu came in from the door carrying a bag of vegetables.

Everyone was a little startled. Ren Ze got up from the sofa and took the plastic bag from Xiaohu's hand.

Xiaohu passed him by, and took out a chicken from the plastic bag, "Brother, why are you here? I just bought an old hen, which was raised by the townspeople. As for the local chicken, I asked the master to slaughter it first. It’s sure to be delicious when stewed.”

Zhang's mother moved her mouth, wanting to ask Xiaohu if she heard anything. It seemed that she had spoken quite loudly just now, and the soundproofing of the house was not good.

Xiaohu cooked the dinner at night, Zhang’s mother was still making wheelchairs, Zhang Xiaolong was older than him, but he lived in school all the time, and there was no place to hone his cooking skills, but Xiaohu learned a lot from Aunt Wu, and Xiaohu fried a few For the dishes, add a mushroom to the old hen and make another soup. Ren Ze was next to him. During this period, Zhang's mother wanted to push the wheelchair in, but was driven back by Xiaohu.

The whole family ate dinner in peace. Xiaohu didn't seem to notice anything unusual. However, Zhang's mother seemed to be a little guilty, and she was a little nervous. She was hesitant to speak when she looked at Xiaohu several times. She didn't know Did Xiaohu hear it? She felt that she should tell Xiaohu about Li Jianguo. According to this development, Xiaohu would know sooner or later, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Let me go and talk to Xiaohu, Xiaohu is not as fragile as you think."

Mother Zhang hesitated for a moment, then watched Ren Ze walk into the kitchen, and with a shake of her hand, she made it to the sofa.

When Ren Ze entered, Xiaohu was washing dishes in the sink, his hands were slow, no different from before, but his appearance still made Ren Ze feel a little bit stunned, even though he knew that Xiaohu could stand The storm, but I was also worried. After all, what happened to Li Jianguo was really disgusting.

Ren Ze and Xiaohu stood washing the dishes together, and thought about their language. Before Ren Ze could speak, Xiaohu sighed, "Brother, stop talking, I know about Li Jianguo."

Xiaohu's expression was relatively calm. Ren Ze stared at Xiaohu in a daze for a while, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, "When did you know? You know everything?"

Xiaohu nodded, took the bowl from Ren Ze, wiped it with a hurried cloth, and said honestly, "I read the investigation report you put in the drawer."

In fact, Xiaohu didn't do it on purpose. Ren Ze never shy away from him. He knows everything in their house. The two of them share a bedroom and a study room, and the drawers are not locked. He didn't touch such things at all. If it was someone else's investigation report, he didn't know that person, and he didn't have much interest in it, but who made Xiaohu see Li Jianguo's photo at the first glance.

Ren Ze thought for a while, "When did you know?" It should be before Zhang's mother broke the bone, and when Xiaohu saw Li Jianguo, he didn't show much, but he really didn't know the exact date.

Xiaohu pointed a few fingers at Ren Ze, "I went to pick up my mother the day before she was discharged from the hospital."

Ren Ze was a little depressed. He really didn't see anything that day, but thinking about it now, "No wonder you were so happy when you heard that Wei Xinyu gave birth to a daughter." In the evening, he ate an extra bowl of rice , he thought Xiaohu was exhausted that day.

"That's right, he deserves to die without a son!" Xiaohu gloated. He didn't care about having a boy or a girl, but he knew that Li Jianguo did. This sentence should be the most vicious curse for him.

Ren Ze rubbed Xiaohu's head, and was very happy to see that Xiaohu was not sad for Li Jianguo, "You don't hate him?"

Xiaohu shook his head. If life is not good, maybe he will hate Li Jianguo. If life is more miserable, maybe he will splash paint on Li Jianguo. But now, he and Zhang Mama are doing well. Moreover, Li Jianguo is just a symbol in his heart, "As long as he continues to die, why should I hate him?"

Ren Ze understood what Xiaohu meant. Xiaohu's request was to prevent Li Jianguo from appearing in his world. "You don't want to take revenge on him?"

Xiaohu's eyes lit up, "Brother, can you make him go bankrupt? Or let his wife and children separate?" Xiaohu was willing to ignore Li Jianguo, partly because he couldn't do anything about Li Jianguo at all.

Ren Ze stroked his chin and thought for a while, then flicked Xiaohu hard, "Okay, don't think about these things, and, how dare you peek at my files?"

Xiaohu covered his head and retorted, "Who asked you to take it home? I think you obviously want me to see it."

These days, Xiaohu is quite uncomfortable being held back. Now that he has said everything, he directly asked Ren Ze, "When I walked in just now, I seemed to hear you talking about Li Jianguo. What did you say?"

Just like what Ren Ze thought, he absolutely did not threaten Li Jianguo. However, whether Li Jianguo would come to harass Mama Zhang depends on his character. Mama Zhang and the others will not talk about Li Jianguo for no reason. Now, Li Jianguo must have come looking for trouble.

really……

Ren Ze held him in his arms and patted his back, "You have to promise me, don't be angry!"

Xiaohu's big heart is only based on the fact that Li Jianguo doesn't mess with him. After Ren Ze told Xiaohu everything, he immediately became very angry with Xiaohu, gnashing his teeth, "How dare he."

Ren Ze broke Xiaohu's hand away, "Okay, don't be angry, I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Xiaohu stared at Ren Ze, his eyes were almost red, "Brother, you don't understand, I am sorry for my mother, I have no impression of Li Jianguo at all, but my mother is different from me."

He said without hesitation that the relationship between Li Jianguo and Zhang's mother was not inferior to that of Xiaohu and Ren Ze. As long as Xiaohu thought of himself, he felt sorry for Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother was listening outside, feeling uneasy for a long time, knowing that Xiaohu knew about it a long time ago, but pretending to be ignorant, she felt a little sour in her heart, but her son was indeed not raised in vain.

Xiaohu came out of the kitchen and went to find Mama Zhang. The appearance of Li Jianguo hurt Zhang Mama the most. , if there is really no other way, tell Xiaoyun, right?"

Compared with Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaoyun's head is a bit weaker. Zhang Xiaolong worked a little harder, and he was a top-notch student in his studies since he was a child. Xiaohu is not as good as Zhang Xiaolong in learning, but in other aspects, he seems to be born more savvy than others, seeing things clearly Zhang Xiaoyun is not as good as his two elder brothers in any aspect, but fortunately he is a girl.

What Zhang's mother told him couldn't react for a while, "But Xiaoyun is still so young? What if you hurt her?"

Xiaohu had a different opinion, so he used himself as an example, "Mom, look at me, I didn't suffer any harm." At the end, he praised himself, "It's a good thing I knew it a long time ago. If I don't know, wait for Li Jianguo When you came to look for me, you lied to me with sweet words, what should you do?"

Zhang's mother said happily to him, "You seem like a smart person, but no one can fool you."

But her heart was sour. She had already started to doubt whether she did something wrong back then. She should have left the children to Li Jianguo. At least Li Jianguo would hold them in his hands before he had no other sons.After knowing that Wei Xinyu hadn't given birth to a boy for so many years, she became even more suspicious of what she did wrong.At least, following Li Jianguo, they won't suffer so much.

Zhang's mother was a little scared, Xiaohu and the others would blame him, her face was a little ugly, "Xiaohu, you really don't blame me, if..."

Xiaohu's eyes were reddened by Zhang's mother's careful look, but he still put on a smile, "Mom, what are you talking about? I was so young at that time. If you left it to Li Jianguo, I would probably shout Damn Wei Xinyu, when I find out that I actually admit to being a thief as my mother, I might strangle myself to death in shame and anger, but before I strangle myself, I will strangle them to death first, I can't be sure, you have to go Watch me in the cell."

Zhang's mother made fun of him again, tapped his forehead with her finger, and rubbed him distressedly, "You child, what are you talking about."

"Anyway, we're doing pretty well without him." After talking about the matter, Xiaohu stopped talking about it, chatted with Zhang's mother, picked up a few school things and told Zhang's mother, and after a while, the two They let go of Li Jianguo's affairs, and Zhang's mother saw that it was getting late, so she stayed Xiaohu overnight. Xiaohu's room was ready-made, but Ren Ze became a problem.

"How about, Xiaohu, you and your elder brother can make do for a night?" Mother Zhang suggested.

Xiaohu was about to agree subconsciously, Ren Ze walked past him and said, "Auntie, don't bother, I can share the room with Xiaohu, right Xiaohu?"

Xiaohu was a little guilty, and glared at Ren Ze. Just as he was about to say something, Ren Ze said slowly, "Anyway, Xiaohu and I have slept in the same bedroom for so many years, and Xiaohu and I are used to it."

Xiaohu took a sip of water, choked in his throat, and almost didn't spit it out.

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Ren Ze in a strange way, thoughtfully, but it was Zhang's mother, who was so moved by Xiaohu. Seeing that Xiaohu almost choked, she immediately snatched the water from his hand, "Why are you so unreasonable?" be careful."

Ren Ze stayed at Xiaohu's house for two days in a row. During this time, the two of them went in and out together. During the period, they coaxed Xiaohu to take a bath with him. Xiaohu was happy to hold the door frame, but Ren Ze made him compromise with a word. , "Let them adapt slowly."

Xiaohu was dragged off the door frame and dragged into the bathroom, still a little unhappy, "Why don't you let your family get used to it first."

Ren Ze closed the door and smiled immediately, "I don't have as much trouble as you here."

The only thing Ren Ze has to face is his grandfather. His father and stepmother are not on his itinerary at all. However, it is easier for Mr. Ding. Ever since he became interested in Xiaohu, he has never shy away from Ding Old man, several times, when old man Ding asked his girlfriend, he deliberately revealed something. Presumably, old man Ding was already prepared, no matter whether he thought they would not separate sooner or later, he had already tacitly agreed.

Ren Ze and Xiaohu stayed at Mama Zhang's place for a few days. On the third day, when Mama Zhang was removing the cast, they asked for leave and sent Mama Zhang to the hospital.

Xiaohu packed the luggage. This time they left and they will not come back. The houses in the city have been found. Near Xiaohu's school, Zhang's mother sold the house in the town, paid the down payment, and settled for a house. The fifth floor of the small high-rise has already been cleaned up by Xiaohu, but the room is a bit small, less than 90 square meters, far inferior to the houses in the town. They managed to get three bedrooms and one living room, and there was no room for Xiaohu at all, which made Xiaohu a little depressed.

However, he became happy in a blink of an eye.

In the morning, Xiaohu was woken up by the ringing of the phone. He muttered to Ren Ze a few times, closed his eyes and touched the side for a long time before he found his phone next to his pillow, "Hello..."

The voice over there was very excited, "Zhang Xiaohu, I'm talking about the house here..."

As soon as Xiaohu heard it, his mind immediately cleared up, and he confirmed it again, "Who are you talking to?" Isn't the house belonged to Li Lu's.

"And Li Lu's father. I didn't expect Li Lu's father to be pretty good. If I didn't know about him, I would have thought he was some kind of gentleman. He insisted on inviting me to dinner." Thinking of what Li Jianguo did, he panicked.

Xiaohu was a little puzzled, "You don't like it, why are you still eating with him?"

Yu Ming snorted, "How dare you say that? How can I wait for dinner like you? I finally found a house that suits my appetite. What if I offend Li Jianguo and he doesn't sell me? Let me tell you , Li Jianguo is also full of food, he runs such a big company, he just broke down the house, even if he doesn't want to pay an agency fee, he can find an assistant to handle it, can he do it himself?"

"That's right." Xiaohu said a few words with the enemy, and then urged, "Have you signed the contract? If you sign it, you don't have to be afraid of him, just let him go."

Yu Ming's anger was not small, he pouted over there, "If I sign the contract, am I going to be an escort?"

Xiaohu sympathizes with Yu Ming quite a bit. Who told Yu Ming to mess around in the mall in the future? Endurance makes money, just to gain some experience in the mall in the future, bear with it. However, Yu Ming is indeed a material for messing around in the mall, don't Yu Ming looked down on Li Jianguo's character, but in front of Li Jianguo, he must have behaved properly.

Yu Ming calmed down after a while, "If it wasn't for the sake of money, I wouldn't bother to talk to him, Xiaohu, when the house is in your hands, you have to treat me to dinner, you know how much the price I negotiated with Li Jianguo ?"

Yu Ming said a number, and Xiaohu immediately jumped up, "How much did you say?"

Yu Ming repeated it again, and clicked his tongue twice, "Now we have taken advantage of the big advantage. Is Li Jianguo's brain burnt out? He sells it at such a price."

Xiaohu got up from the bed, and his voice became serious, "You mentioned the price, or Li Jianguo said it."

"Can I say this kind of price? If someone else came, I can still play haha. As soon as I saw it was Li Jianguo's, I gave a suitable price directly, but before I could say it, Li Jianguo put This price is for me." Yu Ming felt that either Li Jianguo's mind was kicked by a donkey, or the Li family was about to go bankrupt.

Xiaohu rolled on the bed with the quilt in his arms, thought for a while, and said, "You haven't signed the contract yet, have you? Don't sign the contract yet, just say that the price is a bit high." Xiaohu directly asked for a [-]% discount on the price of the house, "Just say That's the price."

Yu Ming was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Xiaohu had gone crazy. Li Jianguo's price was already the price of carrots, and Xiaohu's price was directly changed to the price of cabbage. No, if I mention this price, Li Jianguo will think we are playing him, he must be mad, and this business will collapse immediately!" He shouted again, "It's almost done if we take advantage, don't know It's over the top."

The price Xiaohu gave was indeed a bit low. This price was almost the same as the down payment made by Zhang's mother, but the income from that house was ten times that of the small building. No wonder, Yu Ming was going crazy, he could understand Xiaohu has the mentality of wanting to make a fortune, but his heart can't be so big. He just wants to tear a piece of flesh off Li Jianguo.

Now Yu Ming guessed right, Xiaohu really wanted to take advantage of Li Jianguo, he explained it to Yu Ming, he didn't say that he suspected that Li Jianguo might know that the buyer was his son, but said that Li Jianguo might want to make friends with Ren Ze Ren's family, and coaxed him, "Think about it, Yu Ming, Li Jianguo is not sick, can he not know the price of the house? He just doesn't know that the house is going to be demolished, and the price he offered is too low. Anyway, we Just try, how old are we, if we offend him, we can get over it with a word of childish nonsense."

Now, Yu Ming believed a little bit, but he still took a sip at the words 'Tong Yan Wu Ji', "How old do you think you are, you still have the nerve to say that you are Tong Yan Wu Ji."

Knowing that Yu Ming agreed, Xiao Hu gave Yu Ming another trick, "You can also mention me more when negotiating the price." Xiao Hu didn't recognize Li Jianguo, but she had no grudge against Qian.

Yu Ming accepted Xiaohu's plan, but he was a little worried, "Xiaohu, let me remind you, there is a price for us to take advantage of this. The deal has been concluded, and Li Jianguo must feel that he has won the Ren family."

Xiaohu didn't worry about this, "It doesn't matter, I just don't admit it." One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Whoever stipulates that he will receive benefits must obey the other party's wishes.

During lunch, Xiaohu told Ren Ze about this, and said while gnawing on the chicken wings, "Brother, do you think I'm thinking right? I think Li Jianguo must be trying to bribe me?"

The more I thought about it, the more likely it was. Li Jianguo definitely knew that he was his son, and he probably could have guessed that Zhang's mother kept him from knowing that Li Jianguo was his father. Letting him go was nothing more than trying to soften him up.

The problem is that Xiaohu has a thick skin, and he still takes advantage of it, but he is not ready to appreciate it, how to treat Li Jianguo or how to treat Li Jianguo.

He asked Ren Ze's opinion, "Brother, do you think it's shameless for me to do this?" In a blink of an eye, he explained to Ren Ze, "I just think it's too cheap for Li Jianguo."

He said he wasn't angry, but in fact, seeing Zhang's mother, Zhang Jianguo, Wei Xinyu, and Li Lu who looked like a princess, he couldn't swallow his breath at all. Although Li Jianguo didn't come to provoke him, he He would not take the initiative to trouble Li Jianguo, but now, it is clear that Li Jianguo has bullied him.

It's not that Ren Ze doesn't care, but as long as the child is happy, "I said, you don't need to worry about these things."

Xiaohu scratched his head. He felt that this was unlikely. If Li Jianguo wanted a son, he would definitely not find his elder brother who was obviously hostile to him.

However, looking at Ren Ze's face, Xiaohu obediently drank the porridge.
