Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

When Zhou Linxu came out, he saw this scene: Zan Zan was so flattered by the praise that her face was flushed, and her enthusiasm was off the charts.

As he walked, he imitated Jinxi's manner, praising her as he said, "Zanzan, you're really amazing..."

Before he could finish the last few words, Zan Zan fell flat on his backside.

It was so solid that Zhou Linxu couldn't help but shut his mouth.

Jinxi didn't react at first. She looked down at the bewildered Zanzan, paused for a few seconds, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Zan Zan was looking so smug just a moment ago, but the next second she fell flat on her face, her little face still a bit dazed, not understanding how she ended up sitting down like that.

After hearing Jin Xi's undisguised laughter, Zhou Yanqian looked up in a daze at the people around him.

Jinxi smiled and picked him up, then squatted down and patted the mud off his bottom: "Are you alright?"

Zhou Linxu walked over to his side, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

Zhou Yanqian seemed to come to his senses and looked at the hoe, which was still stuck in the mud. He realized that he had tried to pull it out in a fit of anger but failed and ended up getting a solid fall on his backside.

How embarrassing!

Zhou Yanqian closed his eyes tightly, feeling so ashamed and indignant that he wanted to crawl into a hole.

Jinxi hugged him tightly: "It's okay, it's okay. Baby just didn't hold on properly. It's probably because you didn't use the right point of force. I'll teach you again."

Despite her efforts to keep her voice steady, Zhou Yanqian could still hear the mockery in her tone!

Why laugh at him! He's just a three-year-old!

Jinxi asked, "Does your bottom hurt? Can I rub it for you?"

Hahaha, she really didn't laugh on purpose, she's just naturally cheerful, there's nothing she can do about it!

Zhou Yanqian quickly opened his eyes and immediately refused, "Don't rub it!"

"Okay," Jinxi said, "Let your dad rub it for you."

She gestured to Zhou Linxu with her eyes to hurry up and take action. Didn't she see that her son's tears were already welling up in his eyes?

He didn't fall behind, it was just his stubbornness.

Zhou Linxu moved closer and gently rubbed Zan Zan's bottom with his palm: "It won't hurt in a bit."

No way! It hurts like hell!

Zhou Yanqian looked at Zhou Linxu, his brain only processing the situation for three seconds before he immediately turned his fire on him: "It's all your fault!"

Zhou Linxu blinked: "Is it my fault?"

He himself was a little confused. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he being blamed?

Zhou Yanqian said, "It's all your fault for calling me just now!"

That's why he was suddenly startled and couldn't muster any strength! Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen on his backside like that!

I've lost all face for two generations now!

Zhou Linxu is truly innocent now. Was praising him wrong?

He sighed helplessly, "Then I apologize to you, please forgive me."

Zhou Yanqian, somewhat embarrassed, raised his arm to wipe his eyes: "I won't forgive you!"

Jinxi was already laughing so hard she almost fell over backwards. Zhou Yanqian glared at her angrily, and Jinxi immediately became alert, her playful smile vanished, and her eyes hardened as if she were about to join the Party.

She didn't even dare to meet Zan Zan's tiny eyes, and immediately began to "trouble": "Exactly! Don't you know that baby Zan Zan should speak softly when trying hard? But baby, Daddy didn't mean it. He actually wanted to cheer you on. He thinks you're amazing. You're such a little baby and you can dig in the dirt. He's never seen that before."

After saying that, she winked at Zhou Linxu. This little episode always needs a "big villain," and Zhou Linxu is the perfect candidate right now.

Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi's rambling and felt a little helpless, but he still replied in agreement, "That's right, I've never seen it before, it wasn't intentional."

He genuinely doubted whether saying this would actually be of any use.

Even as Zhou Linxu spoke, he didn't stop rubbing Zanzan's bottom.

Now that his buttocks no longer hurt and he had regained his senses, Zhou Yanqian said coyly, "You're not allowed to speak loudly when I'm working hard."

"Okay," Zhou Linxu said, "I'll be more careful next time."

It actually works...

Zhou Yanqian gave a dry "oh," and since the pain had subsided, he tried to justify himself by saying, "You... you know that, right?"

Zhou Linxu ignored his slight embarrassment and simply asked, "Does your butt still hurt?"

Zhou Yanqian clenched his small hands and whispered even more softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Fortunately, it's just the three of them here now.

If there were other people around, that would be so embarrassing!

He's so old, and he still gets his butt rubbed. If that guy who's pretending to be a man finds out, he'll laugh at him for a hundred years.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jinxi suggested, "How about this, we have a digging competition? Mr. Zhou and Zanzan can be in one team, and I'll be in another team by myself. Raise your hand if you agree!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian immediately raised his hand and agreed.

Jin Xi said, "Okay, does President Zhou have any objections?"

Zhou Linxu said, "...No."

Jinxi nodded: "Okay, let's begin now. One head per group, the group that digs the most wins!"

Zhou Yanqian, having already forgotten his past mistakes, said, "Then I'll definitely win!"

"Okay, if you win, I'll take you out for barbecue tomorrow," Jinxi said. "I'll pay. If you lose, you can use your New Year's money and your dad to pay."

"Then I'll also drink milk tea," Zhou Yanqian added, "Iced!"

"Okay." Jinxi agreed readily: "If you really win, I'll make an exception for you this time."

"Alright!" Zhou Yanqian was eager to try, turning to Zhou Linxu and saying, "I want to win!"

"...I'll do my best." Zhou Linxu didn't dare to make a guarantee: "Let's work together, okay?"

"Okay!" Zhou Yanqian raised his arm again to wipe his eyes. This time there were no tears, only full of fighting spirit.

He had already jogged over to the hoe, intending to pull it out.

The two adults breathed a sigh of relief; they could finally turn the page.

A child's face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

Jinxi was full of fighting spirit at this moment. She made a gesture of rolling up her sleeves, and another parent said lightly, "100,000, awesome, win!"

Jin Xi exclaimed "Huh!" and immediately saluted, "Don't worry, Boss Zhou! I guarantee a resounding victory!"

She never intended to win; the initial purpose of the competition was actually to distract Zan Zan and prevent him from developing resistance to the "digging" activity.

There was an unexpected surprise!

Zhou Yanqian finally managed to pull the hoe out, and when he turned around, he saw the two remaining people chattering away, and he couldn't understand what they were saying.

But it's no use saying anything, he's bound to win!
