A malicious smile gleamed in the man's eyes. This woman looked delicate and pampered, and he was really looking forward to seeing what kind of intense scene this hothouse flower would witness.
Shen Fenghua didn't seem to care. She glanced at the man up and down and said nonchalantly, "That's it?"
The man was stunned, never expecting Shen Fenghua to have this expression and reaction, and stood there frozen in place.
Shen Fenghua's appearance was already eye-catching, and there were many people in the crowd who were secretly observing her. Even if they didn't notice anything wrong at first, they could still find something amiss if they looked closely.
"What do you mean by that?" The man hurriedly put down his clothes, annoyed and embarrassed. "You naive little girl who's never seen the world."
Seeing that he had broken down so easily, Shen Fenghua immediately understood what was going on. She scoffed, "Bullshit," and looked up to see the restless figure behind her.
“Standing at this gate, there are a few who are still green with envy, but to be honest, you really opened my eyes, after all…”
Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow, the meaning of which was self-evident.
The man was furious and wanted to go up and have a proper discussion with Shen Fenghua, but before he could take a step, he was swarmed by the people behind him and pushed down by their hands and feet.
Shen Fenghua then lost her imposing aura, her face instantly turning deathly pale. Good heavens!
She screamed silently in her heart, "What's going on? Today is such an unlucky day. I ran into such a big idiot as soon as I stepped out the door."
"Well done, young lady. You're quite calm for your age," an auntie said with a smile after subduing the thug. "You're fearless in the face of danger. You're quite proud."
Shen Fenghua gave a wry smile. "Big sister, please don't tease me. Look at my legs, they're so weak, shaking like a leaf."
"That's not bad either," the aunt laughed heartily. "You've done a good job. Which department are you in?"
After all, this was a school only for the children of steel factory employees, and this aunt never imagined that Shen Fenghua was from somewhere else.
Shen Fenghua didn't need to introduce himself; people around him who knew him immediately recognized him.
"This is Deputy Director Shen from the publicity department of the steel plant outside. Sister Yang, don't you recognize her?"
Deputy Director Shen of the Publicity Department.
With that title added, and that pretty face, Sister Yang instantly understood, "You're the one from five years ago..."
Shen Fenghua nodded. "It's me."
Sister Yang was also delighted, "I didn't expect it. After all these years, you've grown into a beautiful young woman. Yes, yes, I knew it. You looked familiar. It seems you've really grown up."
The people in front exchanged pleasantries, while the man who had been pinned down was still struggling. The women who were doing this were all tall and strong, with thick waists and plenty of strength. They handled the thin man as if he were a chick.
Sister Yang nodded. "Okay, go to your house. This matter has a terrible impact. We've known about it for a long time, but we just haven't been able to catch him. This guy is too clever; he believes in shooting someone and then running away."
Therefore, there have always been victims, but they have never been caught.
Every time I arrived, the people there had already run away.
"We were able to catch him this time thanks to your composure. You managed to hold him off for two minutes," Sister Yang said, nodding with satisfaction as she watched the man being completely subdued. "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. You'll get a reward for this later. I'll contact you when I need to."
Sister Yang left with her people, leaving Shen Fenghua standing there in a daze.
To be honest, she had no idea that things in the county town had become so turbulent lately. Faced with this situation, she didn't know how to react, so she just made something up out of thin air. Who would have thought it would backfire so badly…
Before Shen Fenghua could think further, the children were dismissed from school.
Seeing Qi Nianping and Qi Nianan running towards her, Shen Fenghua smiled and said, "Oh, you seem to be having a great time today?"
"Yes," Qi Nian'an was clearly more excited, "Mom, we had a test, and my brother got first place, and I got second!"
Shen Fenghua's eyes lit up. "What? What did you say? Say it again."
Qi Nian'an looked at Shen Fenghua and proudly said loudly, "Brother is first place, and I am second place."
"Good, good, good! That's great!" Shen Fenghua never intended for the children to be competitive. To put it bluntly, she was just an ordinary person in the vast sea of people.
I don't ask for excellence in everything, I just wish for peace, smooth sailing, and to grow up happily, that's enough.
But to her utter surprise, these two little creatures brought her unexpected joy.
Ignoring the presence of so many people, Shen Fenghua hugged the two children and kissed each of them. "Okay, let's go, Mom will take you to buy braised pork. We'll have something nice to eat tonight to celebrate."
No one would think Shen Fenghua was being wasteful at this time, after all, it was rare good news for the family. If their own child did so well in the exam, they would definitely tell the whole world.
"Oh my, Deputy Director Shen is really something else. She's such an excellent mother, and even the child she raised is excellent."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of agreement followed. Everyone held great goodwill towards the child, saying, "Yes, yes, look at other people's children, and then look at our little rascal."
"Who says otherwise? My child, let alone getting first or second place, I'd be thanking my lucky stars if he didn't cause trouble and send us to the office."
Although these words were spoken through gritted teeth, in all honesty, who doesn't love their child?
"It's just a little flattery," Shen Fenghua smiled faintly. "I don't expect them to be outstanding. As long as the children eat well, drink well, and have fun, that's enough. The rest is irrelevant."
After she finished speaking, Shen Fenghua took the two children and prepared to leave. Behind her, one of the children muttered, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork too."
"Eat, eat, eat! Look at your old mother, don't I look like braised pork?"
"Why are you so fierce? Why can't you be like Qi Nianping's mother, gentle and beautiful?"
Mother: "..."
She took a deep breath, then precisely reached out and pinched her son's ear. "You want that kind of mother?"
The child covered his ears, crying, "Ouch! Ouch! Mom, my ears hurt!"
“It’s good that it hurts,” the woman gritted her teeth. “A child deserves a mother just like that. In this life, you’ll only have me as your mother. As for Qi Nianping’s mother, don’t even think about it. You’re dreaming.”
Like begets like.
One has to accept one's fate. Although these two children didn't come from Shen Fenghua's womb, she's lucky. After all the twists and turns, they still call her "Mom."
Child:"……"
There's no need to be so blunt.
The kind of mother he has doesn't affect him much; all he wants right now is a bite of braised pork. "So, Mom, can we have some braised pork?"
"Do I look like braised pork?"
