Although she loved Yan Zhenhua, she didn't love him deeply, so she was not that sad when he left her, because Shen Hongmei thought that at least he left behind a daughter, so she had never felt what it was like to be protected by a man.

But now, because of Old Tang's earth-shaking words, he still feels that there are still people in this world who care about them, mother and daughter, and that Old Tang has no blood relationship with her.

Yan Zhenhua was able to abandon Yan Shuhua in order to be re-elected as the leader. Now he would not take the initiative to do anything for them, mother and daughter. But now, Old Tang didn't have much money, and he didn't have much ability, and he didn't know many people, but he ran around for this matter, and hid it so deeply. Shen Hongmei was really touched.

This is a feeling hidden in the heart.

Shen Hongmei's eyes looked more and more strange when she looked at Old Tang. She had changed...

"Anyway, in my heart, you will always be the most important people to me. Otherwise, there is no need for me to be like this. Besides, Shuhua agreed to let Lele work in her pharmacy, which means she treats me as a father. So I really hope that I can do more for Shuhua."

Old Tang's words really came from the heart.

Originally, Tang Lele was very unhappy, but after hearing what his father said, his three views suddenly seemed to change slowly, and even the way he looked at Shen Hongmei changed.

Tang Lele's biological mother died very early, so he never felt any maternal love. When he knew his father was going to marry a stepmother, he was actually very resistant to it.

Many people say that having a stepmother is not a good thing and that they will be bullied by their stepmothers, but Shen Hongmei has always wanted to care about him and take care of him from the moment he appeared, and she is also worried about his future. Tang Lele's mind has slowly come to its senses. What he should do now is not to make things difficult for her, but to treat her as his own relative.

"Aunt Shen..." Tang Lele suddenly asked, "Let's eat at home today. Although the noodles I cooked are not very tasty..."

Old Tang really didn't realize that his son would actually take the initiative to invite Shen Hongmei to come down for dinner. He was still a little shocked, but after the shock, he felt happy. His son was finally beginning to become sensible.

"No, Lao Tang, Lele, Jinchu specially booked a restaurant in the city today and came here to invite you two to dine together. Let's have a good meal as a family." Shen Hongmei said it without thinking. When she realized what she had said, she felt a little embarrassed.

The three words "family" suddenly made Old Tang feel a little tearful.

"Well, let's go eat together today."

Xiao Jinchu was thinking about going to Beijing soon, so he took some time out to have a meal with them. After all, this was the first time the family went out to a restaurant, so it was quite a grand occasion. Of course, he also invited Fan Zhiqiang, Li Jialing and Li's mother to come along, and everyone sat around the table.

Thanks to Li Jialing's careful care, Li's mother's health has improved a lot during this period, and she is in a better mood now.

"Fortunately, the pharmacy also has a training class, so we got through the difficult times smoothly. Otherwise, who knows what kind of tricks that woman would use?" Fan Zhiqiang also ran around for this matter, but his previous connections were all established by his father. Now that his father has passed away, some people will indeed say a few words to him for his father's sake, but there are very few people who can really help. Yan Shuhua introduced Tang Lele to them for the first time.

"Zhiqiang, Lele will be under your command from now on. If you have time, teach him some self-defense skills. If you don't have time, forget it. Just guide him more in dealing with medicinal herbs."

Tang Lele was still very young, and he didn't dare to drink, so he picked up the tea and bowed to his master directly: "Brother Zhiqiang, I toast you a glass."

"I am very strict. I will not show mercy if you do something wrong. And you should also know that this kind of thing is not so easy to do. It is very hard work. Can you endure the hardship?" Fan Zhiqiang said slowly while drinking tea.

Tang Lele immediately patted his chest and said, "Brother Zhiqiang, don't worry. Since I have decided to do this here, I will definitely do it well. If I make a mistake, you can always teach me a lesson."

Yan Shuhua glanced at the girl who didn't eat much, so Li Jialing asked her what was wrong, asking if the food was not to her liking, or if so, she could go and order some dishes herself.

"No, Master's wife, I just feel... like I was dreaming. I thought it wouldn't be so easy to get out, but I didn't expect that as soon as Master showed up, these people would be beaten to a pulp." Li Jialing reacted with an unnatural expression on her face.

Li Jialing was right. How could that group of people be Xiao Jinchu's opponent? As long as Xiao Jinchu wanted to deal with them, he would have no chance to fight back.

"A Ling, now you know how powerful my master is. I haven't told you yet that my master's house is very big. My biggest goal now is to make a lot of money and then go to a big city to buy a very beautiful house for my mother and grandmother to live in."

Fan Zhiqiang now regards Xiao Jinchu as his biggest goal. He also wants all his loved ones to live in better houses. His father is no longer around, and the burden of the family is on him, so he has to work hard to ensure that everyone can live a good life.

"You only know your mother and your grandmother, what about me?" Li Jialing suddenly asked this, and the expression on Fan Zhiqiang's face immediately became extremely embarrassed. If it were in the past, he would definitely curse back immediately, but not only did he not curse, he even laughed there.

When Yan Shuhua saw the two people flirting with each other, he immediately felt that there must be something fishy going on between them.

"Shuhua, you may not know, but the two of them are already together." Shen Hongmei has sharp eyes. Even if the two of them didn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye would know it at a glance.

"Really?"

As the saying goes, love grows with time, love grows with time. Anyway, when two people are together often, sparks are bound to fly, and of course that includes the two of them.

Fan Zhiqiang originally wanted to wait for a while before talking about these things, but now he felt a little embarrassed. After Shen Hongmei said it, he could only nod.
