Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 438

Chapter 438: 438

The house had been chosen; naturally, the next step was to move in the luggage.

According to the house number provided by the show’s team, Ye Zhenzhen’s family was the first to find their place. Inside the gate was a cement-paved courtyard, with some flowers and plants grown against the walls; the whole house looked very clean, as if the homeowner had prepared it in advance.

Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but remark, "This house looks pretty decent."

It even looked better than in the pictures, and compared to other houses, it was definitely one of the better ones.

Song Yuchen chuckled, "Mom, don’t I have great taste?"

Ye Zhenzhen gave Xiao Chen a big thumbs up, "Right, my son has the best taste, the most awesome, managing to snag house number one."

Listening to this mother and son’s exchange, Song Jinze’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he opened his thin lips, "Shouldn’t I be the one who worked the hardest?"

[Oh~ right, shouldn’t President Song be the one who worked the hardest? Zhenzhen, how could you forget about President Song?]

[President Song is so handsome, but why do I feel like his comment is kind of competing for attention with Xiao Chen?]

[Hahaha, I think so too because Zhenzhen ignored him, he’s trying to assert his presence.]

The man, dragging two large suitcases, stood behind the mother and child, his sculpted, handsome face showing no emotion, but his eyes were filled with an uncontrollable fondness.

What sounded like a flat statement, one could feel from his tone, a hint of grievance.

Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen both turned around at the same time, looked up at Song Jinze with harmonized moves, blinked, exchanged a glance, then nodded at Song Jinze, saying in unison, "Mhm, you worked the hardest!"

Song Yuchen added, "Dad, you’re the best! You’re as amazing as I am!"

Ye Zhenzhen frowned slightly at her little guy’s creamy, naive face filled with a silly smile, which amused her as well.

She would correct the child’s speaking order later in the evening when things are quiet; doing so now would potentially dampen the mood.

"Then, may I receive some reward?"

He had been the one to carry Xiao Chen earlier, and it was Xiao Chen who got to kiss his wife; he secured the house, but now it was Xiao Chen, this little brat, receiving all the praises. He felt somewhat displeased inside.

Song Yuchen asked, "Dad, what kind of reward do you want?"

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t speak. Her phoenix eyes fixed on the man’s handsome face, she was certain; this sly man’s protest was premeditated.

Song Jinze’s dark eyes curved slightly, he crouched down in front of the little one and asked, "When mom ran over to us earlier, what did you do?"

Xiao Chen’s bright eyes swiveled, he smiled and said, "I got it! Come here, dad!"

As he spoke, the little guy stepped forward, hugged Song Jinze’s neck, and kissed him on the face, "Hehe, is this reward okay?"

Song Jinze pretended to contemplate, furrowing his brow, but his sharp eyes shot an intense hint at the little guy.

Song Yuchen’s brain kicked into high gear. He tugged at Ye Zhenzhen’s hand, "Mom, you should also reward dad, because he really did work hard just now, right?"

[Exactly, exactly! President Song worked the hardest, so he has to join his son in acting to get a kiss!]

[The post above spoke the truth. While I was laughing, I suddenly realized President Song is quite scheming.]

[Rumor has it that the business tycoon is sly and ruthless, and today I got a slight taste of that, not a word about kissing, but what he really wanted was a kiss...]

[Wow~ this man is so bad, but I love him so much!]

Ye Zhenzhen watched Song Jinze with a faint gleam in her eyes, knowing that this scoundrel was definitely scheming something.

With a smile curving her lips, she gestured for Song Jinze to stand up, then kissed his cheek without any coyness, saying, "Thanks for your hard work, Daddy!"

The smile on Song Jinze’s handsome face stiffened, Daddy?

This nickname...

How to put it? He might prefer it inside if she called him "hubby."

Xiao Chen clapped and cheered from the side, hee-hee~ Mommy took the initiative to kiss Daddy!

If that was the case, then surely what he was worried about wouldn’t happen!

[Xiao Chen is so clever, I love this kid!]

[It’s said that having children is a good thing for a marriage that has lasted a long time, as they act as a lubricant!]

[Having been married for two years, seeing a kid like Xiao Chen makes me really consider having one; it’s just too cute!]

[Experienced folks suggest that if you’re married, it’s better to have a child, and if conditions allow, have two. Truly, if raised well, they’ll turn out like Xiao Chen, and your family will be incredibly happy and content.]

[But, but, if you’re single and haven’t found true love, please don’t just have kids for the sake of it, and if the marriage has already broken down, it’s also advised not to have any, for the child’s and your own sake.]

[If I could find a man like President Song, I’d be willing to have an entire football team for him~]

[Dream on, with a man like President Song who cherishes his wife, he would never let his wife have that many kids.]

[The three-child policy is now in effect, those with money should have more, and those without should have fewer, but as for me, I don’t even want to get married, I just like to watch other people’s kids.]

Because of that heartwarming scene just now, even the live chat went off course, switching from how cute the child was to discussing whether to have kids, and whether or not to get married.

The topic in the live broadcast room became hot, and naturally, it also ignited discussions on other social media platforms, with debates on issues such as whether young married couples should have children, how many they should have, and whether young people should marry at all or can have children without marrying. The arguments were intense...

...

After entering the house, Ye Zhenzhen saw a note left by the homeowner on the table, which she picked up to read carefully.

It mainly contained some instructions the homeowner had left behind, such as there being some vegetables in the refrigerator, their bedroom being on the first floor, how to use the kitchen’s clay stove, and at the bottom, the feeding methods for the two cows in the house.

Ye Zhenzhen thought the instructions regarding the areas available for use in the house were very important, but the feeding methods for the two cows were even more important.

She called Xiao Chen over, "Xiao Chen, come here, this uncle has left us instructions for how to feed their two cows; didn’t you want to herd cows? Come and take a look."

"Okay~" Xiao Chen bounded over to Ye Zhenzhen and read the note with her:

"After waking up, go to the cowshed to shovel out the cow dung, then add water for the cows, and if it’s not raining after breakfast, take the cows out to eat the wild grass outside. Do the same in the afternoon, and before coming home in the evening, lead the cows to the pond at the entrance of the village to drink. Sometimes the cows will take a bath in the pond; you can just leave them be until they finish and get up on their own.

If it’s raining, there’s dry hay for the cows in the backyard; just put some in for them in the morning and afternoon, and that should be enough..."
