Chapter 28: Victory in the First Battle
Fang Xiaoluo looked down at Shen Jinxia. The little girl was already three years old, but she was skinny and small, looking like she was less than two years old.
Her eyes were red, as if she was holding back tears.
Shen Zheng saw that Shen Jinxia didn't move, and said, "Jinxia, this is Daddy's wife. From now on, we are a family, call me Mom."
Shen Jinxia pouted and cried.
At this sound, Shen Haifeng ran out quickly, protecting Shen Jinxia behind him, staring at Fang Xiaoluo fiercely.
Fang Xiaoluo knew that this was Shen Zheng's eldest son.
The second son was named Shen Haiping.
Shen Zheng frowned and scolded, "Haifeng, stop messing around."
Shen Haifeng shrank his neck. Although he looked a little afraid of Shen Zheng, the stubbornness in his eyes was true.
Suddenly someone shouted in the yard, "Captain, are you there?"
Shen Zheng walked to the window, "What's the matter?"
"Captain, Political Commissar Han asked you to go to the regiment headquarters."
"Got it."
Shen Zheng looked at the living room. It was beyond his expectations and he was very worried, but something happened in the regiment and he had to go.
"I..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Fang Xiaoluo said, "You go and do your work, it's okay for me."
Shen Zheng glared at Shen Haifeng, "Don't bully others or I'll deal with you when I come back!"
Shen Haifeng clenched his fists tightly and said nothing after hearing what Shen Zheng said.
Looking at Shen Zheng's hurriedly leaving back, Fang Xiaoluo relaxed all of a sudden.
She curled her lips, walked past the people in the living room, and sat directly on the wooden sofa.
Shen Haifeng turned around, "I tell you, I won't call you that. Even if you marry my dad, you will never be our mom."
Fang Xiaoluo leaned there and said lazily, "Do you think I care?"
Shen Haifeng didn't turn around, "What?"
Fang Xiaoluo rolled his eyes at Shen Haifeng, "I thought you were smart, it seems you're not very smart, but it doesn't matter, I'll kindly explain it to you." "
I never care about you calling me mom, don't be so self-indulgent."
Shen Haifeng heard what Fang Xiaoluo said, and felt surprised and blocked at the same time. He didn't understand, wasn't this woman going to marry his father? How could she not want them to call her mom?
He snorted, "Sure enough, stepmothers are all cruel."
Fang Xiaoluo sat up straight and looked at him with a smile, "It's good that you know, so you must please me in the future, otherwise, I, the mistress of the Shen family, will not let you have an easy life."
Shen Haifeng glared at her, "You...you don't even pretend?"
Fang Xiaoluo blinked, "Why should I pretend?"
As she said that, she stood up, "Okay, I don't have time to chat with you about this, I'm sleepy and want to sleep. Remember, don't make too much noise, if you wake me up, I will be furious. You have to know that you have to go to school on weekdays, and your younger brothers and sisters are still in my hands. If you make trouble, I can't guarantee that I will do anything to them while you are away."
As she said that, she was about to walk to the door.
Zheng Lanhua's face was already very ugly.
"Wait a minute."
Fang Xiaoluo turned around. "Something?"
Zheng Lanhua was very upset. She thought her son had chosen a well-educated and kind girl. How could
she become like this? "Is this how you treat your elders? Is this what your parents taught you?"
"You have so many questions?" Fang Xiaoluo looked Zheng Lanhua up and down. "Okay, then let's talk it out."
"Let's talk about the elders first. I call you mom, of course, out of respect for you. In front of so many people, you don't respond quickly, are you trying to intimidate me? Unfortunately, I forgot to tell you that I don't buy it. You respect me, and I naturally respect you. You don't respect me, and you still want to regard yourself as an elder, which is simply a joke."
Zheng Lanhua never thought that the daughter-in-law in front of her looked so beautiful and had such a sharp mouth.
Fang Xiaoluo continued, "As for what you said about my parents, I'm afraid you haven't heard that I was born wrong? My parents didn't raise me, let alone educate me. Don't put the blame on them. They can't bear it."
Zheng Lanhua was so angry that her chest heaved, "You... Fang Xiaoluo you... aren't you afraid that you won't have a good life in this family?"
Fang Xiaoluo's eyes widened, and he looked very surprised, "Not having a good life? How could that be!"
"Don't you know? From today on, all the money Shen Zheng saved before and earned in the future will be mine."
Fang Xiaoluo was much taller than Zheng Lanhua, and he looked down at her. "Mom, you shouldn't be afraid of my hard life. The economic power is in my hands. What you should be afraid of is that you and your three children will have a hard life, right?"
Zheng Lanhua covered her chest and coughed a few times, obviously very angry.
"Oh, by the way." Fang Xiaoluo said, "You can go to Shen Zheng to complain, I don't care, you can complain whatever you want. If Shen Zheng believes even a little bit, it means I am incompetent."
After that, Fang Xiaoluo strode back to the room.
Zheng Lanhua thought she had met many people at her age, but it was the first time she had met someone like Fang Xiaoluo.
Shen Jinxia hugged Zheng Lanhua's legs, "Grandma, will we have nothing to eat in the future?"
Zheng Lanhua rubbed Shen Jinxia's head, "No, your father will not ignore you. Grandma still has the inheritance money, and I guarantee that you will have food to eat."
Fang Xiaoluo didn't care so much, she went back to the room, took off her hair, changed her clothes, washed her face, and went straight to bed to sleep.
She was exhausted from the morning till now.
As for Zheng Lanhua and the three children, it was indeed something she had not expected before.
But it didn't matter, anyway, she would not treat herself badly.
Fang Xiaoluo slept soundly this time, and she didn't wake up until she heard the sound of ping-pong outside.
It was getting dark outside, and she slowly remembered that she was married and was now in Shen Zheng's house.
She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past five o'clock.
It looked like Shen Zheng hadn't come back yet.
Fang Xiaoluo sat up, changed her clothes, then opened the door and walked out.
In the kitchen, Zheng Lanhua was busy cooking.
She found that Zheng Lanhua's leg was limping. She had seen Zheng Lanhua several times today, but she didn't move. She really didn't pay attention.
Moreover, her limp was not too severe, and it seemed a bit strenuous for her to move back and forth while cooking.
She walked to the door of the kitchen and frowned. What on earth was Zheng Lanhua cooking in the pot?
It smelled so good that she wanted to vomit.
She tiptoed to the stove and looked. The pot was bubbling, black and emitting hot steam.
She thought of the two pigs raised on the west side of the yard. Was this pig food?
But she vaguely saw some meat tumbling inside. Oh, the pigs in Shen Zheng's family are so delicious. Are they cruel to each other?
