Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

"How old are you this year?"

"Eight years old."

Mr. Shi became even more curious. His eldest son was a very talented person. He took the examination for the status of a student at the age of thirteen, which made him considered young among the students. So he asked.

"Are you here to try to take the test?"

After all, his son had also been asked to try the test once before, to see what the questions were like and to find out where his gaps were so that he could make up for them. He also thought that Dabao was here to try the test. After all, with such a young child, how could he really expect him to pass?

Dabao shook his head and said, "No, I am ready. Mr. Zhuang also said that I will have no problem in my studies after passing the Tongsheng exam."

Modesty? Dabao felt that sometimes being too modest was not a good thing. Before, Mr. Zhuang had given him many questions from the Tongsheng exam, and he didn't answer many of them, but Mr. Zhuang said they were excellent.

I came here this time just for the first place.

Seeing that the old and the young were happily chatting, Zhou Rongrong took the children to choose rooms. This time, Dabao was the main one. Except for the main house where Zhou Rongrong was going to live, the best room was reserved for Dabao.

The children had no objections, and Shi Tou was very thoughtful. He had arranged everything. The pots, pans, and utensils were all new, and the bedding was even newer. Zhou Rongrong hardly had to buy anything.

All they needed to do was buy some food. Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, agreed on the price, and signed the contract, Mr. Shi couldn't help but look at Zhou Rongrong deeply.

He couldn't hide the envy in his eyes, but when he saw the four children in the yard arguing over who should build the swing first, his envy suddenly disappeared and he looked at Zhou Rongrong with sympathy.

Zhou Rongrong felt frightened by the gaze of Mr. Shi. She didn't know what this man was doing.

Mr. Shi said, "I just tested your Dabao's knowledge. Boss Zhou, you can rest assured that Dabao will definitely pass the Tongsheng test. It just depends on the ranking."

Zhou Rongrong asked nervously, "Really?"

Mr. Shi asked, "Why, Boss Zhou still doesn't trust his son?"

Zhou Rongrong said, "Hey, not all parents feel this way. Even if the children are sure of success, parents are still very nervous. To be honest, my Dabao is not nervous at all, but I am nervous."

Mr. Shi felt the same way about these remarks, and he shared some useful tips for his eldest son when he was taking the examination for the title of Tongsheng. For example, he should pay attention to a light diet in the first few days and make sure not to let the child have diarrhea.

What books to read, how to review, what to wear and bring to the exam, in short, every detail.

Zhou Rongrong knew that it was not only Mr. Shi's kindness, but also that he valued Dabao's ability to study and wanted to establish this good relationship. After understanding this, Zhou Rongrong listened more carefully, asking questions from time to time. She was willing to establish this good relationship.

After talking for a long time, it was time for dinner. Mr. Shi treated their family to a delicious meal at Zhenxiufang last night, and the meal was very lively with everyone toasting each other.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhou Rongrong called several children over for a family meeting.

"Erbao, you are not allowed to disturb your big brother recently. Be good and obedient. Don't make noises or practice boxing against that tree in the yard. In short, be quiet."

Erbao pouted but still agreed: "I know, mother, I will be quiet."

"Sanbao, you are not allowed to prepare medicine for your elder brother to drink recently. If you give your elder brother medicine and he gets diarrhea, I will beat you."

Sanbao said aggrievedly: "Mom, those medicines are for strengthening the body and have no harm to the body. Look how energetic my brother is after drinking them."

Speaking of Zhou Rongrong, I feel like spanking Sanbao. Sanbao was bored and flipped through a book and made a prescription for himself, saying it can strengthen the body, which is not bad, but the second brother is as strong as a calf and doesn't need it at all.

Sibao doesn't like drinking bitter medicine, so the only one who likes it is his eldest brother. Sanbao said that drinking this medicine can make one healthy. Dabao thought it was prescribed by Doctor Zhao, so he drank it up.

After drinking it, I felt really better. I didn't sleep for a whole day and night, and read books with my eyes open all night. It was not until the next day that I told Zhou Rongrong that I drank Sanbao's medicine and had not slept all day.

When Zhou Rongrong took the medicine residue to see Doctor Zhao, Doctor Zhao said that she was fine, but Dabao had taken too much of the Albizzia julibrissin bark, which made Dabao unable to sleep after taking the medicine. The dose of Albizzia julibrissin bark was for adults, and Sanbao had not yet learned how much for a child.

Seeing his mother's eyes sweeping over him and thinking of his own great achievements, he dared not say anything and answered quietly.

"I understand, mother."

Sibao looked at Zhou Rongrong with a pair of big, sparkling eyes and asked in a baby voice.

"What about me, mother?"

Zhou Rongrong rubbed the fat on Sibao's face and said, "Our Sibao is the best behaved. We usually won't bother you, big brother."

Sibao raised his little head proudly and said, "Did you hear that, Third Brother, Second Brother? I am the best."

Several children were hesitant to speak. In front of Zhou Rongrong, Sibao was the most well-behaved child, but as long as Zhou Rongrong was not around, Sibao would ride on their faces.

But who would believe this? Who would believe that the best-behaved Sibao in the Zhou family was a troublemaker when Zhou Rongrong was not around, and the kind who would quietly dig holes for you.

Since the family set the rules, the children have been very careful when doing things, fearing that they would disturb their eldest brother from reading.

Even when Sanbao and Erbao were quarreling, they would speak in a very low voice. And when Zhou Rongrong had some rare free time, she would stay at home, rocking in a rocking chair under a tree to bask in the sun.

She let her mind go blank and when she was bored, she would tell stories to the children. She told any stories, fairy tales, fables. At night, she would even tell ghost stories, which scared the four children, except Dabao, so much that they screamed and had to sleep together with Zhou Rongrong.

Zhou Rongrong was squeezed so hard that she could hardly turn over. I won’t talk about it anymore. I can only sigh that this is what they call "you reap what you sow".

On the tenth day of October, the other three people from Qingfeng Academy also came. They were all honest and well-behaved children. Every day, the four children gathered together to discuss knowledge and read books. There was a very learning atmosphere. It was mainly Dabao who shared with them.

They are all impressed by Dabao's knowledge. They don't think that Dabao is incapable just because he is young. They are always respectful when asking for advice.
