The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 299 "It's best not to create a persona"

Gu Chan kept Wei Xiangdong's secret schemes a secret, not even revealing a word to her own mother.

Only three people knew about the pig farming in the deep mountains, and everything was being done in secret.

Lin Zhao didn't find out about this until after the New Year.

That said, Su Yuxian got a huge beating, which almost became her nightmare.

She dreamt every night that Lin Zhao was grabbing her collar and making her apologize to her fourth brother.

Su Yuxian was furious and took it out on Lu Baozhen, who was recovering from her injuries.

“You seem to be in good spirits. Once you’re healed, hurry home. Don’t waste money staying here all the time. It’s so hard for the family to make money. You don’t know how hard your elders work…” She pinched Lu Baozhen’s arm a few times and scolded her.

Just then, the nurse came in, glanced at her briefly, then looked away and focused on the thin girl on the bed. "It's time for your injection."

Lu Baozhen trembled in fright.

Su Yuxian looked on with amusement and took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket to crack them open.

The nurse glanced at her and said irritably, "What are you eating sunflower seeds for? Hold your daughter tighter."

“It’s not the first time, no need to hug, just hit him however you want,” Su Yuxian said.

Lu Baozhen's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at her with a wronged expression.

The nurse said angrily, "Are you a nurse or am I? I'll hug you when I tell you to, why are you asking so many questions!"

Su Yuxian didn't dare say anything more. She put the melon seeds back in the box, plopped down on the hospital bed, roughly grabbed Lu Baozhen, pulled down her pants, revealing half of her bare buttocks.

"let's hit."

Lu Baozhen was so scared that she trembled.

Snapped.

Su Yuxian patted her back.

"Stop shaking! How can anyone hit you if you keep shaking like that!"

Seeing how rough she was, the nurse frowned even more. "Don't hit the child, she's still injured."

She was dissatisfied with Su Yuxian because he had harmed the gentle and refined Dr. Meng.

But she had no problem with Lu Baozhen.

She's so young, what does she know?

"What injury? She looks perfectly fine," Su Yuxian said nonchalantly. Feeling her arm getting tired, she urged, "Can you hurry up? Why are you taking so long? I still have to go back and cook."

The nurse ignored her and skillfully inserted the needle into Lu Baozhen's buttocks.

"Waaah..." Lu Baozhen's body suddenly straightened up in pain, and she burst into tears, the sound of which was surprisingly loud.

Lin Zhao, on a whim, brought food to her fourth brother, but stopped when she heard crying.

I spotted Lu Baozhen wiping away tears in the hospital room.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, Lu Baozhen stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and a look of strength appeared on her tender and thin face.

"Aunt Lin."

Lin Zhao had mixed feelings about Lu Baozhen. She didn't like her, but she wouldn't be petty enough to argue with an immature girl.

"Ah."

She responded dismissively and then left.

The nurse chased after him, greeting Lin Zhao with a smile, "Comrade Lin, are you going to deliver food to Dr. Meng?"

Lin Zhao slowed her pace and answered her brother's colleague, "Yes, you haven't eaten yet?"

"Put the food away and then eat."

The sound faded into the distance.

Su Yuxian pinched Lu Baozhen hard, her words harsh, "Aunt Lin... I call you Aunt Lin, and people don't even acknowledge you. You're so eager to seduce me, you shameless brat. What's the point of you living? You might as well die..."

Lu Baozhen dared not resist, her neck shrank back and forth, and she began to cry again.

It's unclear which of Su Yuxian's words stung her, but the little girl suddenly looked up. "I won't die! Mother told me to live well, Mother said I'll become rich and powerful! Once that house becomes mine, I'll leave home and you'll never be able to bully me again, sob sob sob..."

Su Yuxian paused slightly, grasped Lu Baozhen's shoulders, and stared at her intently.

I glanced outside the door instinctively, walked over, and closed it.

Lu Baozhen thought she was going to be beaten again, so she was so scared that she crawled under the covers, not even caring about the stinging pain in her buttocks.

Su Yuxian pulled back the covers. "What house? Where is the house?!"

Her expression was terrifying. Now that Lu Baozhen had no backing, she dared not hide anything and whispered, "It's... the house that Aunt Lin and the others went to."

"That house will end up in your hands? How will it become yours?" Su Yuxian's eyes flashed with greed, her tone urgent.

In her heart, although Lu Baozhen had lost her good fortune, she was still one of those people favored by heaven. Whenever something happened, her stepdaughter always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune, which was quite strange.

Therefore, she believed some of what Lu Baozhen said.

"Speak up, you brat, or I'll beat you up..." Su Yuxian raised her right arm, looking at him fiercely.

Lu Baozhen closed her eyes in fright, “I dreamt it, it’s mine, I will have a house, and lots and lots of money.”

You can buy whatever you want.

"What can get into your hands?" Su Yuxian asked, staring at her.

Lu Baozhen said, "I didn't dream about it."

Su Yuxian exploded and almost slapped her again, but she held back in the end. "Tell me if you dream about it again. You're just a little kid. Even if that house were placed in front of you, you wouldn't be able to put it in your pocket."

“…I understand,” Lu Baozhen replied obediently.

Unbeknownst to the two, several pairs of small ears had appeared outside the door while they were whispering to each other.

After eavesdropping, the boys at the door quietly left.

"...Grandma is right, a leopard can't change its spots! Lu Baozhen is a leopard that can't change its spots! She's trying to harm people again." Hengbao said angrily, clenching her little hands.

Yu Bao reminded him, "You swore again. If Mom and Dad find out, you'll really get a beating."

Hengbao shook her brother's hand, pleading softly, "Brother, please keep this a secret for me."

Yu Bao sighed helplessly, looked at his younger brother, and said seriously, "You have to be more careful. If Mom and Dad were here, you would be punished. But since Grandma isn't here, no one will care if you are punished."

"I'll be more careful, I definitely will be more careful." Hengbao agreed to whatever his brother said without hesitation.

Cat Egg spoke up, “…Isn’t that Lu Baozhen’s dream? Why take it seriously?”

Jingmo is a gentleman; he knows the principle of not listening to what is improper. He felt really uncomfortable just now, having eavesdropped on them.

Now I finally feel at ease.

Hearing Cat Egg's words, he nodded and said, "Lu Baozhen is talking nonsense. Why take it so seriously? Let's just ignore her."

Hengbao has a good memory; he remembers all the wicked things Lu Baozhen did.

"No, I want to tell my mom."

Yu Bao also said, "Yes, tell Mom."

He looked at Maodan and the others earnestly and said, "We are all children. If we encounter something we can't help, we should tell an adult."

Seeing their insistence, Maodan'er and Jingmo assumed they were just mama's boys and didn't try to persuade them further.

The group arrived at Meng Jiusi's office.

Lin Zhao and her brother had just finished speaking when they followed Meng Jiusi's gaze and saw several smiling faces outside the door.

"..."

After a slight pause, Lin Zhao frowned. "Why are you all here? Didn't we tell you not to come to the hospital? I already said children have weak immune systems..."

Hengbao stood up, walked in, and sat on the stool against the wall. She spoke quickly, "Mom, we just overheard a big secret. Lu Baozhen and her stepmother were talking about a big house. We heard it all clearly. Do you want to hear it?"

You've said everything, there's no need to ask any more questions.

Lin Zhao looked helpless. "Just say it if you want to."

"Uncle, you eat yours, don't worry about us." Seeing that Meng Jiusi had forgotten to eat because of them, Hengbao reminded him and slid off the stool. He said to his brother, "Brother, let's put on a show! It's been so long since I've acted, my acting skills are almost rusty! You play Lu Baozhen's stepmother, and I'll play Lu Baozhen, okay?"

“Okay,” Yu Bao actually agreed.

Get into the zone immediately.

"What house? Where is the house?" His little face was cold and stern as he stared at Hengbao, wishing he could grab his shoulders and shake him.

"It's..." Hengbao shrank back, trying to make his presence known, as timid as a little wife, "the house that Aunt Lin and the others went to."

……

The script wasn't long, and the two brothers finished acting it out quickly.

Lin Zhao looked at the two little drama queens and laughed until her cheeks hurt.

She rubbed her face, looking like she couldn't bear to look at her.

"It's a pity I didn't bring my camera, otherwise I would have taken pictures of you two and shown them at your wedding, that would have been really fun."

Playing it at a wedding means a lot of people will want to see it.

Hengbao, who loves to show off, lit up and patted his chest. "It's okay, we'll take more pictures when we get back. My brother and I have great memories. We can remember what they said, right, brother?"

Yu Bao felt something was off. Seeing her younger brother's excited expression interrupted, she said, "...Hmm."

"See, Mom? My brother and I will do it again when we get back. You have to film it for us!" Hengbao reminded Lin Zhao, worried she might forget.

"I understand," Lin Zhao replied, patting her eldest son's head affectionately. Poor little rascal, always being led astray by his younger brother.

Yu Bao looked puzzled. What's wrong with Mom?
Lin Zhao smiled at him. The little boy was confused and forgot what he was going to ask. She tried to stay calm and bring the topic back on track.

“Mom, the house that Lu Baozhen mentioned is Uncle Han and Juan’er’s home… We can’t let her take it away.”

He stood up for the child he had only known for two days.

Lin Zhao said, "I know, we adults will handle this. Kids worrying so much, they might not grow tall."

Cat Egg lowered his eyes, a smile flashing in them. Aunt Lin was coaxing Yu Bao and Heng Bao. His father had told him that how tall someone grows depends on their parents' genes and the nutrition they get... it's very complicated.

Jingmo skillfully opened the snack box on the shelf, took out some candy, and shared it with a few friends.

The five children darted away.

That afternoon, after Gu Chenghuai finished training and returned home, Lin Zhao told him what the twins had said in the hospital room.

Gu Chenghuai chuckled, thinking his wife was being a bit paranoid.

He washed his face under the tap, speaking casually, "Children's dreams shouldn't be taken seriously."

It wasn't that he didn't take Zhao Zhao's words to heart; on the contrary, he valued what his wife said. After Lu Baozhen arrived, he even paid some attention to the child, and apart from discovering that the child was lucky to be alive, he didn't see anything else.

"Gu Chenghuai." Lin Zhao called his name seriously, "I've said it before, Lu Baozhen is different from ordinary children."

"Underestimating her will lead to trouble."

Dream……

Can the dreams of the female protagonist in the original book be the same as the dreams of ordinary people?

Gu Chenghuai met Zhao Zhao's solemn and beautiful face, his heart softened, and he softened his voice, "I'll talk to Lao Han and ask him to restrain himself for a while."

Lin Zhao relaxed, dissatisfied with Gu Chenghuai's reaction just now. She snorted coldly and turned to go back into the house.

Realizing his wife was angry, Gu Chenghuai smiled and chased after her.

"Why don't you hit me a few times? Don't hold it in; holding it in is bad for your health."

Lin Zhao glanced at him sideways, "You don't believe me."

"I believe you. If you don't believe me, I can keep an eye on the Lu family's little girl..." Gu Chenghuai hurriedly said. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get into the house that night, which would be a huge punishment for him, and he absolutely couldn't accept it.

"You've been watching Lu Baozhen?" Lin Zhao asked suspiciously, "And what was the result of your watching?"

“That girl is really lucky,” Gu Chenghuai replied straightforwardly.

Lin Zhao: "..."

"Nothing else?"

Gu Chenghuai: "That's all."

Lin Zhao didn't press the matter further. "Let's eat first."

As long as the Han family takes precautions, she believes that no matter what schemes Su Yuxian and Lu Baozhen may have, they will not succeed.

In fact, Lin Zhao overestimated Su Yuxian. She had no ulterior motives at all; she was only thinking about taking advantage of the situation.

Having received a warning from Gu Chenghuai, Chef Han had already cleared away any trouble he was following, so naturally nothing happened to him.

Su Yuxian waited in vain for the house to fall from the sky, and then vented her anger on Lu Baozhen. Unfortunately, Lu Yizhou witnessed this.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yizhou's face darkened visibly as he stared at her with a gloomy expression.

“…The child is not learning good things, and I’m teaching her right now,” Su Yuxian explained.

Lu Yizhou had no intention of taking it easy. He pulled his daughter aside and questioned Su Yuxian, "Why didn't you learn well?"

Su Yuxian stammered and couldn't give a clear answer.

Bang!
Lu Yizhou kicked the stool at his feet away, his tone calm but with a hint of impending madness, "Go back to your hometown..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yuxian's expression changed drastically. "I'm not going back! I'm not going back! There's no one home, what would I do there? I'm not going back!!"

“If you don’t come back, I’ll go and file for discharge right now, and we’ll go back together!” Lu Yizhou said coldly.

Su Yuxian was caught off guard, grabbing his sleeve and speaking intimately, "You can't..."

"I can!" Lu Yizhou said in a deep voice, his face full of a desperate determination.

He can't stand it anymore!
After his family came, his superiors' impression of him plummeted. His reputation in the staff quarters was terrible, and he was excluded from further training programs... His future was ruined by his own family!

"Are you leaving or not?" Lu Yizhou pressed.

Su Yuxian didn't dare to provoke him any further. Thinking of calming him down first, she asked gently, "What about Father, Mother, and Baozhen?"

Lu Yizhou walked out expressionlessly.

“…I’m leaving.” Su Yuxian blurted out.

She is afraid.

If the man retires from the military, she won't be able to be an official's wife anymore, and she doesn't want that.

Lu Yizhou immediately went to buy tickets, choosing the fastest one, and dragged Su Yuxian away from the military region early the next morning, putting her on the bus.

The train whistled and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Lu Yizhou breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was mentally and physically exhausted during this period.

After getting rid of the most troublesome one, the remaining three are easy to deal with.

……

The news that Su Yuxian had been sent back to her hometown quickly spread throughout the family compound.

Lin Zhao: "???"

"What happened?" Lin Zhao spat out the foam in her mouth, quickly finished brushing her teeth, and asked her man.

Gu Chenghuai said, "The apparent reason is that Lu Yizhou's wife beat and scolded Lu Baozhen."

"Is there a deeper reason?" Lin Zhao wondered.

"Of course there are. Lu Yizhou has no intention of having his family come over. He's already fed up with them. Just you wait and see, in a few days, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, and his daughter will have to go back too."

Lu Yizhou is a hypocrite. He speaks nicely, but he is selfish and arrogant. He is not someone you can be close to.

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue, "That's why it's best not to create a persona. See, you've been proven wrong."

"Let's not talk about that family anymore," Gu Chenghuai changed the subject. "Old Han said he wanted to thank you..."
