Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

The next day, in the morning, San Niu and Liu Hao got up and ate breakfast!

During the meal, Liu Hao said, "Honey, after we finish eating, Junzi and I are going to Manager Zhao's place!"

“Okay, you guys go ahead! Don’t go too early. You talk to Wang Jun and Huang Xuan first about setting up the machinery factory,” San Niu said.

“I know, baby, you’re eating a steamed bun, here’s half for you,” Liu Hao said!

"Okay, I'll eat half. San Niu, take the other half of the bun!"

"Then you should rest well at home. Tell your aunt to fill a hot water bottle with hot water to warm your stomach," Liu Hao said.

“Okay, don’t worry about me, my mother will take care of me,” San Niu said!

"That's good. Make sure you eat well at lunchtime," Liu Hao reminded her worriedly.

"Okay, I'll eat more," San Niu said!

"Yes, my baby is the best," Liu Hao said!

"Oh dear, I'm not eating anymore, I'm too full," San Niu said!

“I’m full too, so I’m leaving now, honey,” Liu Hao said.

"Do you have any money left? Do you need any?" San Niu asked.

"Yes, I don't usually spend money, I have plenty! I'm off then," Liu Hao said, picking up his bowl and quickly leaving!

San Niu went to lie down on the bed. After a while, Wang Cuihua came in and said, "Girl, here's a hot water bottle to warm your stomach. The hot water bottle is by the bedside. Remember to drink it; it's brown sugar water!"

"Mother, I know. Where did Father go?" San Niu asked.

“Your dad’s keeping an eye on things in the front yard! He can’t stay idle. He’s not delivering goods these past few days, so he’s been keeping an eye on things in the front yard,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, that's good. Has Wang Xiaoxia been causing trouble lately?" San Niu said.

“The other day, she was making a scene every day, but your uncle and his family ignored her and even locked her up in the backyard. They locked the door and the yard, and even fixed the windows from the outside. Only then did she behave. Your uncle even bought a sewing machine and put it in Wang Xiaoxia's room so she could make clothes at home. Yesterday morning, she didn't make a single piece. When she came back at noon, your uncle beat her and didn't give her any food. Today, your aunt said that she didn't bring her any food this morning and that she'll go hungry for a few meals. I think your uncle and his family are determined to subdue Wang Xiaoxia this time,” Wang Cuihua said.

“It’s time to make a decision, or there’s no hope,” San Niu said.

“Yes, that brat is too much trouble, even harder to manage than a boy,” Wang Cuihua said!

"It's not that she's hard to manage, it's just that my uncle and his family didn't have the resolve before. If they had, Wang Xiaoxia would have been obedient long ago. If she were in my hands, I would have subdued her long ago. She still dares to cause trouble. I would have beaten her so badly that she would do whatever she's told. She would have been very obedient then. The three of them said!"

"Sigh, your uncles couldn't bear to do it, but now they had no choice but to steel themselves and punish her," Wang Cuihua said.

"Let's not talk about her anymore. Did my second sister cause a scene today?" San Niu said.

“She didn’t dare to cause trouble today. This morning, your dad told her that you were going to discipline her because she was disobedient, so she didn’t dare to make a fuss. She drank a bowl of porridge and ate a meat bun in the morning, and then left. However, she asked your dad to buy her some milk candy, but your dad said that you wouldn’t allow it, so she didn’t dare to say anything and went to school,” Wang Cuihua said.

"That's good. Don't worry about her. If she dares to cause trouble again, I'll deal with her," San Niu said.

“Alright, she’s not afraid of me or your father, she’s most afraid of you. You need to keep an eye on her, otherwise if she gets any fatter, we won’t be able to handle her,” Wang Cuihua said.

"I understand. From now on, we'll eat in this room. I'll keep an eye on her, and she won't dare to do anything reckless. You keep all the edible things in the kitchen so she doesn't steal any," San Niu said.

“Just thinking about this makes me angry. Last night, after everyone was asleep, she went to the kitchen to find something to eat and your dad caught her. So your dad was really angry and scolded me this morning. Can you believe it? This morning, she even dared to ask your dad to buy her candy. Your dad said you wouldn’t let him, and he got really angry this time. He even told me to make some cornbread for Erniu for lunch, and she can only have one at a time,” Wang Cuihua said.

“Alright, since my dad has said so, do as he says. We’ll have a good lunch and let her watch, so she won’t dare to upset my dad,” San Niu said!

"Okay, daughter, what do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will make it for you," Wang Cuihua said.

"Mom, let's have pig's trotters for lunch! We haven't had them in ages!" San Niu said.

“Okay, I’ll call you Dad. Go buy it now, and I’ll stew it as soon as I get back. I guarantee it’ll be delicious,” Wang Cuihua said.

"Okay, tell Dad to buy a few more so we can all eat them, but not Second Sister. Let her be so jealous!" Third Sister said.

"Okay, I'll go now. Wang Cuihua, hurry up and find Zhang Laosan to buy pig's trotters!"

San Niu started to sleep; she wasn't feeling well and just wanted to sleep!

When San Niu woke up, Wang Cuihua had already stewed the pig's trotters. Zhang Laosan brought over a few trotters and ate with San Niu. Zhang Laosan said, "Girl, come and eat the pig's trotters, they smell so good!"

"It's here! It smells so good! I want to eat more! San Niu, grab a pig's trotter and start gnawing!"

"Isn't it delicious? Let's eat more, we won't leave any for your second sister," Zhang Laosan said!

"Okay, Dad, my second sister made you angry," San Niu said while eating.

"She's so infuriating! That child is so disobedient. Last night, she went to the kitchen and stole some food. Luckily, I put the steamed buns in our room, otherwise she would have eaten them all!" Zhang Laosan said angrily.

"Dad, don't be angry. When she comes back, I'll take care of her and get revenge for you," San Niu said!

“Alright, teach her a lesson. She’s so immature. My oldest daughter is the best; she never makes her father angry,” Zhang Laosan said.

"I won't make you angry anymore. I'll make sure you live a good life, Dad. Have you run out of money, Dad? Do you need more?" San Niu said.

"There's only a little left," said Zhang Laosan.

"Dad, I'll give you another two thousand. Spend it however you like, buy some good food, and some nice clothes," San Niu said!

San Niu went inside, took out two thousand yuan, and said, "Zhang Laosan!"

San Niu said, "Dad, hide it so Mom doesn't see it, otherwise she'll want yours. Don't give it to her, keep it for yourself. I'll give it to you when you've spent it all!"

"Okay, my dear daughter, you love your father so much!" Zhang Laosan happily stuffed the money into his pocket!

“Dad, from now on, don’t do any work in the front yard. There’s no rush for the work right now. Just watch them work. Don’t overwork yourself. You should also take supplements with us to keep your health up so you can live a long and healthy life. Your daughter is rich, and our good days are yet to come! So you need to take good care of your health. And don’t get angry. If someone makes you angry, just tell me, and I’ll take care of them for you,” San Niu said.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Don't be angry. Take good care of yourself. Dad still wants to enjoy life with his old daughter!" Zhang Laosan said happily.

“Yes, Dad is right. Nothing is more important than your health, right? Without good health, how can we go out and have fun in the future? How can we enjoy life?” San Niu said!

“Yes, daughter is right. When Erniu comes back, you can deal with her,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, Dad, don't worry, leave it to me. I promise I'll teach her a lesson. Dad, come on, have another pig's trotter," San Niu said!

Zhang Laosan was pleased by San Niu's coaxing and started eating pig's trotters again!

After a while, Da Niu and Er Niu came home from school. Wang Cuihua led them and brought the food to San Niu's room to eat!

Erniu reached out to grab a pig's trotter to eat, but Sanniu tapped her with her chopsticks!

"Third Sister, why are you hitting me?" Erniu said gently.

"Don't you know why I hit you? Ah, if you ever dare to upset your father again, I'll break your legs, Zhang Erniu, you've got some nerve! You even dared to sneak food from the kitchen, why don't you just fly to the sky? Stand up right now, I'm telling you, if you dare to cause trouble again, you'll only get one bowl of porridge a day from now on, do you hear me, Sanniu, say it loudly!"

"I heard you! I'll never steal food again, and I'll never make Dad angry again!" Erniu cried.

"Don't cry! Every time you answer so well, you cause trouble again. Let me tell you, from now on, your parents will be living with me. No one is allowed to make them angry, or they'll be in trouble. Especially you, Zhang Erniu, your parents are going to live to be a hundred years old and enjoy a good life with me. If you make them sick, you can forget about having two legs. Do you hear me?" Sanniu said!

"I heard you, I heard you, I'll never dare to do it again!" Erniu said.

"Yes, Mom, give her a cornbread and a bowl of rice, and let her eat standing up. From now on, she can only have one cornbread and one bowl of rice for three meals a day. She's not allowed to eat any vegetables. The whole family will eat here from now on. I'll watch over her every day and every meal. Only when she's lost weight down to 100 pounds will she be allowed to sit at the table and eat the same food as us," San Niu said.

Wang Cuihua took some cornbread and a bowl of rice and fed them to Erniu!

"What's wrong? You don't want to eat anymore, huh?" San Niu said to Er Niu.

"No, no, I want to eat! Third Sister, don't be angry, I'll eat right now! Second Sister, hurry up and start eating!"

"Alright, Mom and Dad, eldest sister, let's eat. Don't mind her. She just needs to be disciplined. If you don't discipline her for three days, she'll develop all sorts of problems. Come on, eldest sister, have some pig's trotters. They're especially delicious today. Let's all eat!" San Niu said.

"It smells good, my dear girl, have another one!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Dad, I've already eaten two, I don't want any more. You guys eat, I'll just have the fish soup," San Niu said.

“Alright, then drink more. This soup is made with big fish heads, so there are no bones. You can drink it without worry,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, Dad, this fish soup is so delicious! Make it more often so you can all drink it," San Niu said!

“Alright, I’ll have a bowl too. Do you want the fish head? If not, I’ll eat it,” Zhang Laosan said.

"I don't want it, you eat it!" Wang Cuihua said.

"Young lady, do you want to eat fish eyes? Fish eyes are delicious and good for your eyes," Zhang Laosan said.

“Dad, you eat it yourself. When you get old, your eyes won’t go blurry and your ears won’t go deaf. Wouldn’t that be great?” San Niu said.

“Yes, Dad will eat it himself. It will help his eyesight, and he can enjoy a good life with his old daughter,” Zhang Laosan said.

"Then, can I have one too?" Wang Cuihua said.

"Oh dear, I've eaten today. Tomorrow I'll stew fish head and fish eyes, and you can have them all. Don't try to argue with me today," Zhang Laosan said!

"Alright then! I'll buy a big fish head myself tomorrow and stew it," Wang Cuihua said.

"Alright, you can have it all tomorrow. You can have the fish soup! Drink a couple more bowls," Zhang Laosan said.

"Third Sister, I've finished eating. Can I go do my homework?" Second Sister said.

"Okay, go ahead! Let me tell you, if you don't do as well on your exams as before, you'll get a beating when you come back. I've even prepared a wooden stick for you. Don't give me a chance to hit you. You know I'm heavy-handed, otherwise I wouldn't have broken my uncles' legs back in our hometown. If you don't want to end up like them, you'd better study hard, understand?" San Niu said to Er Niu.

"I heard you, I heard you! I will definitely study hard and my grades will never drop!" Erniu said.

"That's good, go ahead!" San Niu said.

Erniu hurried back to her room to study. Good heavens! How could she possibly live like this?! She wasn't given good food, and she had to study hard, or she'd get beaten. What kind of life was this? It was worse than being a pig or a dog! Erniu could only grumble to herself. She could only listen and start studying, otherwise, if she fell into Sanniu's hands, she'd definitely get a terrible beating!

After finishing her meal, Da Niu quickly started studying!

"My dear daughter, from now on, we'll only give Erniu cornbread, okay!" Wang Cuihua said.
