Chapter 16

When Jing Xian heard the voice, she thought it sounded familiar. She turned around and saw a familiar person running towards her. He came forward and pulled her arm, trying to pull her away.

"You are such a grown up and you still hit a child. Do you have any shame?" Zhao Xiuzhi pulled Jingxian but failed to let go. She heard her son screaming in pain and calling for his mother. She hurried forward and grabbed Jingxian's big braid.

"I'll let you beat my son! I'll see if I can't kill you!"

Jing Xian didn't waste any more time, she grabbed her wrist with her backhand and twisted her hand behind her. Zhao Xiuzhi groaned and dared not move, it was too painful to move.

Jing Xian pushed the mother and son to the ground and said, "Zhao Xiuzhi, you need to understand one thing: your son hit my son first. Also, I only stopped your son from doing that, I didn't hit him."

Zhao Xiuzhi was merciless in her slapping: "You didn't hit my son, why are you crying?"

"My son beat me."

Zhao Xiuzhi scolded her sharply, "Why did you grab my son and let your little brats beat him? He is not your own child. I think you are just a rotten heart, and you want to bring those two brats into bad ways. When your children are compared with them, these two little brats will be bad guys who are not presentable. You have a really good plan."

Jing Xian immediately looked at Tiedan and Fusheng and found that the two boys had fierce expressions and were staring at Zhao Xiuzhi like wolf cubs.

"No way!" Fusheng retorted, "I am my mother's child! She loves me the most!"

Tiedan rushed over and grabbed Zhao Xiuzhi's hair: "If you say my mother is bad again, I will pull out all your hair and make you ashamed to face people in the future!"

Zhao Xiuzhi hissed in pain and cursed, "Are you two little brats sick? Can't you hear bad words? She deliberately led you two to bad things, and you still think she is a good person? Let me go!"

"You are the bad one! Your whole family is bad!" Tiedan said as he unbuttoned his pants and was about to...

Jing Xian hurriedly stopped him: "Don't do that, it's not good."

No matter what, Zhao Xiuzhi is Captain Wu's wife. If Tiedan really dares to pee on her, Shang Nanchen will never be able to work with Captain Wu in the future.

Tiedan was unwilling, but he still pulled up his pants and made a face at Zhao Xiuzhi.

The children around were stunned when they saw this scene.

It turns out that you can ask your family members for help when you have a fight!

"Zhao Xiuzhi, your son hit my son twice, and my son just hit him back. So, I will not pursue the matter of your son hitting my son." As she said this, her cold but sharp eyes swept over the children around her, and all the children subconsciously stepped back.

She said with a straight face, "From now on, if anyone hits my son, I will let him hit them back in the same way as they hit me. Do you remember all this?"

When she said the last sentence, she bowed her head and asked Zhao Xiuzhi's son: "What about you? Did you remember it?"

Zhao Xiuzhi's son grimaced in pain and said hurriedly, "Remember, remember, let me go."

Jing Xian snorted coldly and let the mother and son go.

She said to her two children: "Do you want to play here or go home?"

A fair-looking little boy shouted from a distance, "Shang Aiguo, Shang Aijun, why don't you two play for a while before going back?"

Tiedan's eyes lit up instantly, and even Fusheng felt a little envious.

Jing Xian smiled and said, "Then you two go out and have fun, but be careful not to get hurt."

“Yeah.”

Tiedan turned and ran away.

Fusheng also followed with his legs trembling.

Jing Xian glanced at Zhao Xiuzhi and walked home.

Zhao Xiuzhi was sitting on the ground checking her son's injuries. When she saw Jingxian passing by, she raised her foot to trip Jingxian. Jingxian stepped on her mercilessly.

“Ouch!”

Zhao Xiuzhi's ghostly howling voice pierced half the sky.

She held her foot in pain and tears came out. She cursed at Jing Xian, "Are you blind?"

"Zhao Xiuzhi, if you have the guts, don't do any bad things. How about we have a real fight with real swords and guns?" Jing Xian looked at Zhao Xiuzhi with a smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes. It was obvious that she was not easy to bully.

Zhao Xiuzhi was used to being domineering in the village, and she had never suffered any injustice in the six months since she joined the army.

It was her first time to have a nausea.

Zhao Xiuzhi's greatest strength is that she bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Knowing that he couldn't beat Jing Xian, he held his feet and helped his son stand up, saying, "Why would adults get involved when children are fighting? Who would fight with decent people?"

Zhao Xiuzhi's son Gousheng still didn't want to go home, so he said, "Mom, I want to play here, I don't want to go back."

"What are you playing for? Go home and play."

Zhao Xiuzhi slapped Gousheng on the back of the head and sent her son back home.

Ma Shufen stood in the yard listening to the noise. She was shocked to hear that Zhao Xiuzhi was beaten up by Jing Xian.

I didn't expect that the young wife Shang Nanchen married was quite fierce.

I really can't tell at all.

Jing Xian heard footsteps and looked next door. She waited for Zhao Xiuzhi to return home with the child before going back. When she looked up, she saw Tiedan standing not far away, happily shouting, "Mom, that's awesome!"

Fusheng was also laughing happily beside him. If he wasn't still a little skinny black monkey, he would definitely be as cute as the dolls in the New Year pictures.

She couldn't help laughing too.

"You two can have fun, but remember to come back when it's time to eat."

Jing Xian went back after she finished speaking.

Children cannot be kept at home all day. The parenting book she read in her previous life said that children should often do outdoor activities. At least two hours outside every day can promote calcium absorption and help children develop better.

Although survival in the apocalypse is difficult, the culture and development before the apocalypse are beyond Jing Xian's imagination.

When she has nothing to do, she reads related books. For example, the books collected by the old Chinese medicine doctor in the village can be found in any library in the end times. The ancient books that the old Chinese medicine doctor loves so much can also be found in the library.

There is even an entire floor of related books, neatly displayed.

At that time, she was thinking that if the old Chinese doctor died and the end of the world came, he would definitely forget about food and sleep after seeing those books.

Tiedan was playing snowball fight with his friends. When they were tired, the kids sat on the snow, looking at each other and grinning.

"Shang Aiguo, your mother is so nice. She actually has other skills." The one who spoke was the fair and clean little boy. His name was Li Yu, and he was the youngest son of Captain Li.

Tiedan didn't know Jingxian was good at cooking, but that didn't stop him from showing off: "My mom is really good. The braised pork she makes is really delicious."

Zhang Liansheng happened to be passing by and stopped to ask, "Tiedan, did your mother really make braised pork for you?"

"Grandpa, you're back!" When Tiedan heard Zhang Liansheng asking about the braised pork in brown sauce, he immediately started talking nonstop, "Grandpa. You must have never eaten braised pork in brown sauce, right? Let me tell you, the braised pork in brown sauce made by my mother is really delicious. My mother said that it is fat but not greasy. If there is rice, it will be more delicious. But we don't have rice at home, so my mother made corn steamed cake. Corn steamed cake is also super delicious. I ate so much that I couldn't walk!"

All the kids around were drooling.

They also wanted to eat braised pork, so that night, many children cried and asked for braised pork.

Zhang Liansheng also swallowed twice.

"It seems your stepmother treats you well."

"That's my mother!" Tiedan said loudly.

Fusheng walked up to Zhang Liansheng, raised his head and said seriously: "Grandpa, don't say that in the future. My mother will be upset if she hears it. I will be her son in the future, and I will only treat her as a son. Don't destroy the relationship between us."

Zhang Liansheng said casually: "..."

Just when they were feeling awkward, Shang Nanchen came over and shouted, "Aren't you two going home for dinner? Are you still waiting for your mother to come out to look for you?"

"I'm back!"

Tiedan turned around and called Fusheng and left.

Zhang Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards his home.

As soon as he reached the door of his house, he heard Tiedan standing at the door and shouting, "Master Zhang Liansheng, if you want to eat braised pork in brown sauce, let my aunt make it for you. Braised pork in brown sauce is really delicious!"

Zhang Liansheng staggered and only managed to avoid falling by holding onto the door frame.

He turned his head, and under Shang Nanchen's puzzled gaze, he grinned with difficulty and said, "Okay."

"Why don't you go in? Isn't it cold outside?" Shang Nanchen saw that Zhang Liansheng was very embarrassed, so he drove his two sons home without saying anything.

Tiedan skipped home and said when he reached the door, "We can still eat braised pork tonight. It would be great if we could eat braised pork every day."

Who doesn’t want to?

I want both.

That's only if you can afford it.

Shang Nanchen said with a fierce face: "Just eat it, don't go out and tell others, okay?"

"What did he say?" Jing Xian was cooking in the outer room. She heard the conversation between the father and son and asked casually.

Tiedan immediately complained: "Mom, today Master Zhang Liansheng said that you are my stepmother."

"Yes!" Fusheng came in from behind, squeezed next to Jingxian and hugged her legs, "Mom, my brother and I have said that you are our only mother from now on! You are not a stepmother, you are our biological mother!"

Tiedan was embarrassed to say these words. After hearing what his brother said, he secretly looked at Jingxian.

Jing Xian deliberately frowned and asked them, "Do you want to have another mother in the future?"

"Of course not!" Tiedan said loudly, "Even if you divorce my dad, we will still follow you."

Fusheng: “Yes, only with you!”

Shang Nanchen: “…”

Jing Xian looked at Shang Nanchen with a half-smile, and rushed the two kids into the house: "You two have been running around outside all afternoon, go sit on the kang to warm up, and we'll have dinner soon."

"Mom, let me light a fire for you!" Tiedan's eyes were lively.

Jing Xian said, "No need, your dad is here, you two can just go inside."

The two children lifted the thick curtain and entered the house.

Shang Nanchen said with a toothache: "Am I not good to them? Aren't their food and clothes earned by me?"

"You made money in the past, but you didn't spend it on them," Jing Xian said pointedly.

Shang Nanchen's face became even uglier.

"Are you still unhappy?" Jing Xian came over and asked him in a low voice.

Shang Nanchen looked at her directly and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

It's quite stupid.

But he had no other choice.

Jing Xianliang mixed some shredded radish, added some sugar and some vinegar, it tasted sour and sweet and was very appetizing.

Guessing that Shang Nanchen was getting impatient, he said, "You are not stupid, you are honest and kind. That's why you believed your ex-mother-in-law, thinking that she would be able to ensure that your son had food to eat and a place to sleep no matter what. Although you trusted the wrong person, you corrected your mistake in time when you found it. Marrying me is the best decision you have ever made in your life."
