From that day on, no matter what Jinzi did, Zhang Honghua would do her best to support him and gently clean up his messes.
Everyone knows that Jin Ziduo has a good stepmother. Even Jin's father, who was initially wary of Zhang Honghua and worried that she would change her attitude after taking over, secretly talked to Jin Ziduo, saying, "Why is this different from what I thought?"
Yes, the surveillance video of Jin Ziduo pushing Zhang Honghua downstairs is in Jin's father's hands. The original purpose of installing that surveillance camera was to check whether Zhang Honghua was abusing Jin Ziduo at home.
But strangely enough, even though Jinzi pushed her down, causing a miscarriage and rendering her unable to have children again—
Zhang Honghua didn't blame him.
Instead, she gently advised Mr. Jin, "It's already pitiful that the child lost his mother at such a young age, not to mention that Sister Liu Kou has been kind to me, so please don't blame the child."
"He's also feeling pretty bad, so please don't blame him."
Her gentle words deeply moved Mr. Jin, making him even more convinced that Zhang Honghua was a good stepmother.
But even if they think about it, men in their positions still know how to have backup plans.
On the surface, he comforted Zhang Honghua, but privately he called Jinziduo over and told his son, "You have to be careful of Aunt Zhang's next move. I've already destroyed the surveillance footage at home for you. Don't do that again."
Protecting one's son is what a father should do.
But Jin's father didn't know that what he was doing was exactly what Zhang Honghua wanted—
Human desires only grow bigger and bigger.
When power is unchecked, chaos will surely ensue.
They brought about their own destruction.
While guarding against Zhang Honghua's backup plan, Jin's father kept a close watch on her through surveillance cameras.
One year, two years, three years.
He never imagined that Zhang Honghua would be like a loyal old dog, devoting herself wholeheartedly to them and making selfless contributions.
During this period, Jin Ziduo became increasingly rampant and lawless.
He couldn't get into public school because he didn't like studying, so Zhang Honghua gently persuaded Jin's father, "It's okay, he's just a kid. He'll love studying when he grows up. Give him some time."
So, Mr. Jin spent a lot of money to send Jinzi to a private school.
There, money talks.
Moreover, he also has influence.
Jin Ziduo was like Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, making a small disturbance every three days and a big commotion every five days, turning the whole school into a mess.
It has extremely strong destructive power.
However, that's okay.
The foundation left by Liu Kou has a lot of money.
There's enough gold to make more.
Whenever something went wrong, Zhang Honghua would rush over with the fund's lawyer, and she would be responsible for bowing and apologizing to the person.
They acted as if they wanted to kneel on the ground to finish the job.
The parents were remorseful and the fund's lawyer was willing to allocate funds for compensation.
No one can stop Jinzi from having so much gold.
But everyone has their bad luck sometimes.
Are you the only private school with money and power?
Jin Zi had offended too many people. Several parents banded together, bringing a lawyer, their child's mental evaluation, and psychological report, and rushed to the school to retrieve the surveillance footage.
They wanted to know why their children refused to go to school.
So when they saw their own children being forced to drink water from the toilet, they were shocked.
I completely broke down when they held up a dirty trash can on the playground and wouldn't let me put it down.
Whose child isn't precious?
Parents signed a petition and also sent people to their homes to exert pressure.
Jin Ziduo was expelled from school.
This is a problem that money and power cannot solve.
No school dared to hire him; what could a fourteen-year-old boy do?
Being able to only idle around means you're already half wasted.
But that's not enough.
Zhang Honghua was not satisfied.
My child is dead; she didn't even have the chance to see this world.
Why can you live such a carefree life?
So she continued to whisper in his ear, urging Mr. Jin not to worry about how much gold he had, and to let him go out and clear his head.
But what kind of people can a boy who goes out with a large sum of cash possibly meet?
He hung out with thugs, flaunted his wealth, and gradually got led astray.
Therefore, the outcome was obvious.
Jinzi was often used as a pawn. In a moment of impulsiveness while drunk, he stabbed someone without thinking, all for the sake of brotherhood.
Someone died.
Now, no one can save him anymore.
Zhang Honghua also helped in this, secretly exposing to the media that "Jin's father was planning to use his connections to settle the matter privately."
Besides his son, what else is most important to Kim's father?
That is status.
So, faced with the obvious prospect of losing his son and the inability to reverse the situation, Mr. Kim made a decisive choice—
He severed ties with his son to make his stance clear to the outside world.
In this way, gold was often discarded.
It became a completely useless piece.
After losing his mother, he was abandoned by his father again.
He was an orphan.
After seeing this, is there anything Sun Lifang still doesn't understand?
This is a story of grudges, intrigue, and conflicts of interest among three adults.
But the child has to bear the consequences.
Jin Ziduo became a victim in the adults' struggles.
Excuse me, what do five or six-year-old kids know?
It's unrealistic to expect him to resent his stepmother or fight with the adults.
Liu Kou made a mistake; she failed to plant a good seed for her child.
Of course, from another perspective, the relationship between Liu Kou and Zhang Honghua is also like that of the farmer and the snake—
I saved you from dire straits, yet you destroyed my son and stole my husband.
After Jin Ziduo went to prison, Jin's father, who was nearly sixty years old, finally accepted the "gentle and kind" Zhang Honghua into his own camp and treated her as one of his own.
