Shen Man smiled and said nothing, "When I hand over the work, you will know, team leader."

"It's time to go to work now. I should go to work now."

Having said that, she turned and left.

Sister Li's expression suddenly changed. Could it be... someone she couldn't afford to offend?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly chased after him, "Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, please explain the matter clearly. Who is that person?"

This job is the most suitable for her daughter. If she can get it, it would be the best. If she can't get it...

…

Shen Man returned to Shen's house after work. As soon as she entered the house, she noticed something was wrong.

There was one more person in the house.

Looking up, she was stunned.

Shen Ping stood up from the chair and looked at Shen Man with a smile, "Sister, it's been a long time since we last met. It's been almost half a year, and you haven't changed at all."

"Unlike me, I look older than you." She said as she stroked her rough face, a meaningful look in her eyes.

Shen Man looked at Shen Xiang who was busy in the kitchen, then looked at Shen Ping, what else did she not understand.

"You do look a lot more haggard. The wind and sand in the northwest are too strong. Now that you're back, you should take good care of yourself."

Normally at this time, Shen Xiangyu would not be home from work yet. Today he came back so early, probably because he knew that Shen Ping was coming back and went to the train station to pick her up.

Shen Ping smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Thank you so much, Dad, for this time. I always thought that Dad favored you, but it wasn't until I really encountered something that I realized that he actually cared about me."

"You probably don't know, but he exchanged his job with someone else and gave me a job as a worker in a food factory. That's how I got the chance to come back."

She changed the subject and sighed, "But think about it, Aunt Fang probably doesn't know either. If she knew, she would still let Dad help me like this."

After all, her stepmother hated her stepdaughter the most.

At that time, she wanted to call her mother like Shen Man did, but unfortunately, she was rejected by Yang Fang directly.

She said that she only had one mother and she was not her mother, so from now on she could just call her Aunt Fang.

From that time on, she knew that her status and Shen Man's in Yang Fang's heart were different.

Shen Man ignored her, walked into the house, put down the things in her hands, and then went out directly.

At this time, Shen Xiangxiao, who was busy in the kitchen, also found that Shen Man had returned. Thinking of what happened today, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put down the pot and spoon in his hand and chased after her.

"Manman, wait a minute, listen to what dad says first."

Not long after, Shen Xiang brought Shen Man over and explained with an unnatural look on his face, "I will personally explain to your mother about Xiaoping's return. She will move out and live on her own soon. You just pretend that you won't see her for the next few days."

If he wasn't afraid that she would do something stupid, he wouldn't want to do this, but the child was his own after all, he wasn't that cruel and really didn't care about her.

Shen Man raised her eyes to look at the middle-aged man standing in front of her. More than ten years have passed, and he is no longer as young as he was back then.

Shen Xiang's hair had turned gray, his eyes were full of fine wrinkles, and his back was slightly bent.

"Uncle Shen, do you really want to live with my mother?"

Shen Xiangxiao said quickly, "Of course it's true."

Although he initially looked for Yang Fang just to find a woman who could help take care of the children and take care of the household, but over the years, he gradually really fell in love with Yang Fang.

They are not like the daughter-in-law who died early, who stayed together only out of responsibility.

As for Manman, apart from the incident four years ago, he could be said to have no regrets.

Shen Man's expression faded. "Then why didn't you even discuss it with my mother? You privately gave your job to someone else and asked Shen Ping to return to the city?"

"My mother has been with you for almost twenty years, raising children and taking care of the household. Is she not worthy of knowing about your job change?"

In this regard, she really felt sorry for her mother.

Shen Xiangxiao's face froze.

He really didn't dare discuss this matter with Yang Fang, nor did he have the time to discuss it.

As a couple for so many years, he knew her well. If he had told her about this in advance, she would definitely not be able to get over it. After all, if he lost his job, it would mean that the living conditions of his family would plummet in the future.

What's more, Yang Fang doesn't like Shen Ping and will definitely not let her come back.

Shen Man finally understood. She took a deep breath and said, "You know, the only people I care about are my mother and Mingchuan. The reason why I didn't tell anyone about what happened four years ago was also for my mother and Mingchuan's sake."

"But now you don't seem to put them on the right track, so I can only tell them everything. As for what they do, I won't interfere."

Shen Xiang was anxious for a moment, and consciously pulled Shen Man, "Man Man, don't, don't tell your mother and your brother about that. I really didn't consider the work well enough, but you let it go. Shen Ping will never appear in front of you again in the future."

"You know the Northwest, Shen Ping has never suffered any hardship. She has only been there for less than half a year, and she looks much more haggard. After all, she is my biological daughter, and as a father, how can I ignore her?"

"Don't tell your mom or them for now. Trust me, I will definitely get it sorted."

Shen Manchi said nothing and ignored him.

She had already begun to think about what might happen if her mother knew about this.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xiangxiao couldn't help but panic, "Manman..."

With Yang Fang and Mingchuan's protection of Manman, this family will definitely break up.

At this time, Yang Fang and Shen Mingchuan came back.

They saw Shen Man and the other person standing outside and not entering the house, which was strange.

Just as he was about to go over to take a look, he didn't expect Shen Xiangxiao to notice the two people approaching first. He was startled and his face turned pale.

But he still pretended to be calm and forced a smile, "You guys are back. I have prepared the meal. Let's go home and eat first."

Yang Fang and Shen Mingchuan noticed something was wrong with the two of them. They looked at Shen Xiang and then at Shen Man who was silent.

Although they didn't say anything, I always felt that these two people were hiding something from them.

But since the two of them didn't say anything, let's put it aside and ask about it in private.

Just as Yang Fang was about to enter the house, Shen Xiangxiao suddenly remembered that Shen Ping was coming back today. Before he told her, sweat broke out on his forehead.

When Yang Fang was about to enter the house, he grabbed her hand and told her about this in advance.

"Wife, Xiaoping is back. She is at home now."

Yang Fang was stunned. "What? Who did you say is back?"
