Chapter 12: Aunt Wang

Zhang Huan spent a lot of money to settle that matter.

At that time, he was already more than half a hundred years old, and his mental and physical strength were going downhill, which was completely incomparable with what he is now. But he has no successor.

Among the three children, the eldest daughter was rebellious and was fooling around outside, the second daughter was too introverted and he didn’t see any strengths in her personality, so she couldn’t hold herself in front of her elders.

The baby son really grew up into a trash and scumbag.

At that time, Zhang Huan finally admitted that his son had been ruined.

He had a lot of gray hairs on his sideburns at that time, and he looked much older than he is now. Over the years, he still had the idea of competing with Zhang Yansheng’s uncle. But by that time, he had almost completely given up.

None of the three children in the family can compare to Zhang Yansheng’s elder cousin. None of them could reach Grandma Zhang’s eyes and get her attention.

Zhang Yansheng thought maliciously, if Zhang Huan at that time was also reborn and returned to the present, would he regret it? Will he be inspired to discipline Zhang Shuocheng?

However, Zhang Huan obviously does not have this thought. He still left all the children’s affairs to women just like before, and the woman he’s with now has no idea on how to properly educate the children.

Zhang Huan was not reborn, but Zhang Yansheng was, so she couldn’t leave it alone.

She didn’t want to care about Zhang Shuocheng’s death, but she couldn’t sit back and watch Zhang Shuocheng repeat that life and hurt innocent girls.

Zhang Yansheng heard that the girl committed suicide twice later and suffered from severe depression. Her life was basically ruined by Zhang Shuocheng.

Zhang Yansheng couldn’t just ignore it completely.

No matter how annoying Zhang Shuocheng can be, she needs to get involved to control him.

“Now that he steals things, you think that he is still young.” Zhang Yansheng said, “When he commits murder or arson and even rape someone in the future, then you won’t think that he is young anymore.”

Zhang Huan was displeased and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Zhang Yansheng stared at him and said, “If your son continues to be like this, what kind of person do you think he will grow into? Is he going to be a successor to socialism? I’m telling you, if this continues, you will regret it sooner or later.”

Zhang Huan felt that Zhang Yansheng was exaggerating. Zhang Shuocheng is indeed a little naughty, but he is not that young anymore.

But Zhang Huan also felt that what Zhang Yansheng said was not unreasonable. In theory, everyone knows that strict teaching can produce good children. In fact, not everyone can do it.

Especially last night, Zhang Shuocheng let him lose a big face at his aunt’s birthday banquet.

Zhang Huan rubbed his chin and said, “But he is indeed a bit too naughty. His mother is not very good at taking care of children. Anyway, you are their sister, so just take care of them. You are the eldest daughter. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother. I think you are in good control today, and you have a good sense of propriety.”

The more he thought about it, the more it got better. Zhang Huan simply patted the sofa: “It’s very good, very good, you will control him like this in the future.”

Zhang Yansheng was stunned.

She really thought that Zhang Huan would defend Zhang Shuocheng no matter what and would not let her interfere. But Zhang Huan not only supported her, she could see that he even became very emotional because of this.

“I will discipline your son, but will your wife be willing?” she sneered.

“Well…” Zhang Huan rubbed his chin again, his mood was indeed very good, “I think you managed him very well today, you really have a bit of your mother’s posture.”

Zhang Yansheng suddenly became irritated: “Don’t mention my mother!”

Putting her mother and Liang Yingying together again, Zhang Yansheng was really about to explode.

“I won’t, I won’t.” Zhang Huan knows when to stop. “You also have to control your emotions. If you can’t do it in the future, then don’t raise your hands on her. You scared her this time, I think she will not come after you in the future. Her courage is actually very small.”

Zhang Yansheng didn’t answer, just looked at Zhang Huan faintly.

In her previous life, she had clashed with Liang Yingying many times and quarreled with her so many times. When did Zhang Huan take the initiative to come and chat with her and make friends?

Today, she raised her hand in anger, suppressing Liang Yingying’s momentum in one fell swoop, and Zhang Huan came immediately.

She finally understood that Zhang Huan’s mentality was like this.

For Zhang Huan, the contradiction between the eldest daughter and the little wife is irreconcilable, and he knows it well. These two women live together, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Zhang Huan didn’t actually care who overwhelmed who.

Whether it is the daughter who suppressed the wife or the wife who suppressed the daughter, they are all living in this home, and they can neither be beaten or abused. It’s just that one person is happier and the other is less happy.

But for Zhang Huan, as long as one of them can completely subdue the other, he can gain peace.

Quietness is harmony.

Harmony is happiness.

As for who crushes whom, he doesn’t care. He just wants his quietness, harmony and happiness. As long as one of them can control the situation, keep the house quiet, and let him relax, he will be fully satisfied.

It’s just that in the previous life, how could the young Zhang Yansheng be able to suppress Liang Yingying. Later, she gradually grew up and became more and more extreme. It became clear to Zhang Huan that if she overpowered Liang Yingying, then he would not think about living a quiet life.

So later on, Zhang Huan stood on Liang Yingying’s side instead.

The former Zhang Yansheng couldn’t understand her father’s mentality as a man at all. He hoped that all the women in the family could have cordial relationships, and he hoped that one woman could help him manage the other women and bring him peace and harmony.

But now that Zhang Yansheng returned to this time, she went to see everyone again, to see their relationships, and to see those subtle attitudes. Suddenly, she had an insight into Zhang Huan’s mentality.

Once, the young Zhang Yansheng felt so angry that her father had not supported her unconditionally.

Her many extreme behaviors were just to make him look at her more and care about her more.

But this man is actually so selfish, he just wants to live that ‘harmonious’ life in his mind.

Zhang Yansheng once again felt that her former self was too ridiculous and unworthy.

Her daughter’s gaze made Zhang Huan a little awkward, and always felt like she’s creepy, not resembling a child.

“That’s it…” Zhang Huan coughed and stood up, “Don’t mind them for now. Rest early, I will go upstairs first.”

After comforting his daughter, he felt that he was a great father, so he planned to retreat now. He didn’t know that the eldest daughter had completely given up on him this time.

Zhang Yansheng really doesn’t feel anything for this man anymore.

She watched him as he was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped him.

“Zhang Heling is going to be in fourth grade soon and should have pocket money.” She said, “When I was in third grade, my mother let me start taking care of my pocket money by myself.”

Zhang Huan still has an impression of this matter.

At that time, his wife told him, “I don’t know when will I give up. You are not a person who can take care of your children. It’s time for Yanyan to learn how to manage money by herself.”

Back then, he gently comforted his wife who had lost a lot of hair due to chemotherapy. Later, the eldest daughter began to manage her own pocket money. She seems to have been managing well.

Zhang Huan was just a little surprised. The eldest daughter really seemed to have grown up overnight. She can not only teach her younger brother, suppress her stepmother, but also care about her younger sister.

Isn’t this the family and beauty he wants to see?

“Okay, then I…” Zhang Huan pondered for a while. In the past, Zhang Yansheng ignored Zhang Heling at all. What a great opportunity for the sisters to love each other. He said: “I’m busy, why don’t you do this, you get a card for your sister, and you take care of her spending money. What do you think?”

“I can do it.” Zhang Yansheng said, “Then you will give me another 50,000 a month.”

“Okay.” Zhang Huan agreed, “Hehe is still young, don’t let her spend too much money.”

“Since you leave it to me, don’t worry about it.” Zhang Yansheng sneered, “Warn your little wife that our family does not beat children, except Zhang Shuocheng, tell her not to slap and pinch Zhang Heling. Tell her to put away her rural behavior as soon as possible.”

Zhang Huan was also not satisfied with Liang Yingying either. Indeed, as Zhang Yansheng said, it has an earthy taste. There is no way for her to match him.

He didn’t care about his children before. But when Zhang Yansheng said this today, he suddenly felt that Liang Yingying being a mother was not able to teach his daughter well, and didn’t take care of his son as well. He immediately became very dissatisfied with Liang Yingying.

In the past, Liang Yingying was kept outside by him, and he thought she was young and beautiful, so he doted on her.

But now that Liang Yingying is already Mrs. Zhang, she should assist him in educating the children. However, Liang Yingying is still in the same state as before — shopping, grooming, playing cards, and playing everywhere.

The status has been promoted from mistress to wife, but the level has not kept up.

Zhang Huan was really not satisfied.

But yesterday and today, he was unexpectedly satisfied with his eldest daughter. This child, who had suddenly grown up, has a little bit of her mother’s demeanor.

Zhang Huan went upstairs with relief. He also forgot to ask his eldest daughter why she has become so powerful now.

When she was young, she did participate in competitions everywhere and came back to comfort her mother with certificates and awards. But since the death of his wife, she has lost her enthusiasm for those competitions, and she has not seen her come back with any certificates.

It may be that she has been training for a long time. Indeed, he has never cared about the level of the talents she has learned. Who knew that the little girl had become so powerful before he knew it?

Zhang Yansheng watched him leave and slammed the door with a ‘bang’.

She sat back on the sofa, stretched out her hand, and clasped her fist.

All the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills that her mother arranged for her to study since she was a child were later lost. After all, she had discarded her school studies, so how could she care about those lessons?

Only taekwondo and sanda were not lost. These two sports are really good ways to vent out. The depression and hostility in her chest can be released very well with punching and kicking.

The sparring coaches she later looked for were all professional players. She herself has already reached the professional level as well.

But today, she calmed down and realized that her strength was a bit amazing. Not only is it not something that a 15-year-old girl can have, but it is not even something that a 21-year-old girl can have.

That kind of explosive power can exceed the strength of many men.

Does rebirth also come with the benefit of growth of strength?

The next morning, Zhang Huan held a cup of coffee and watched her eldest daughter train in the courtyard.

The sound of the glove hitting the target was clear and crisp, and it sounded rhythmic and beautiful early in the morning.

The daughter has grown up and is sensible. Zhang Huan went to the company in a good mood.

Zhang Yansheng didn’t see Liang Yingying and Zhang Shuocheng when she had breakfast after she took a shower.

Liang Yingying’s beauty sleep usually takes until 10 o’clock or even 11 o’clock before she gets up. She didn’t know if Zhang Shuocheng hasn’t woken up yet or went to play.

Breakfast was eaten quietly. Zhang Heling seemed to be eager to try and always wanted to talk to Zhang Yansheng, but Zhang Yansheng only lowered her eyes and ate unhurriedly, so Zhang Heling obediently ate breakfast in frustration.

After breakfast, Zhang Yansheng called Aunt Wang, who was in charge of taking care of Zhang Shuocheng, into the hall.

“You have always been responsible for Zhang Shuocheng’s daily routine.” She said, “My request is to let him do his homework every morning, and you will supervise it…”

She glanced at Zhang Heling and assigned her a job: “Zhang Heling is in charge of inspection.”

Zhang Heling was surprised: “Me?”

“Yes.” Zhang Yansheng said, “If he fails to write on time, you must tell me immediately.”

Zhang Heling immediately promised: “Okay!”

Zhang Yansheng turned her head and looked at Aunt Wang again. Her gaze was too cold to look at people. Aunt Wang couldn’t help twisting her hand and cleared her throat.

“Yesterday, my dad handed me over the management of Zhang Shuocheng.” Zhang Yansheng said, “I don’t care what happened before. From now on, you should keep an eye on him for me, when it’s time to study and sleep. If he asks for help with his homework, don’t do it. If you accept money from him…”

Zhang Heling looked at Aunt Wang in surprise.

Aunt Wang’s face also had a look of surprise that could not be concealed.

“Zhang Heling doesn’t even have pocket money yet. Where did Zhang Shuocheng get his money?” Zhang Yansheng’s eyes were sharp, “In this case, if you instigate minors to steal or illegally possess your employer’s property, you can stay in the prison for two years!”

Aunt Wang’s face turned pale.

How did Zhang Yansheng know that she took Zhang Shuocheng’s money to help him with his homework?
