Chen Ting was speechless. "Mom, Shen Yunyun has already caused the Ning family to neglect our family. You still think she's good to you?"
"Is she really that good? Does she need to undergo labor reform?"
"Could you please wake up?"
Shen Hongmei suddenly remembered what her mother had said to her and instantly came to her senses. "You're right. I also need to think about my son."
"I'll buy some fruit and go to the Ning family later, and I'll also mention the promotion while I'm at it."
Chen Ting instructed, "Now that we're asking for your help, you need to be more polite."
"Don't worry, I, as your mother, will not harm my son."
Shen Hongmei hung up the phone and took the money and tickets to leave.
Now the Shen family no longer bothers her, and her in-laws no longer care about her going out.
Shen Hongmei hummed a little tune as she went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought some rotten fruit. This kind of fruit was cheap and didn't require coupons. She thought that if she peeled it, she could eat a lot of the fruit flesh. It would be a loss not to buy it.
When Gu Nanzhi came home from get off work, she saw Shen Hongmei standing there with a net bag in her hand. The fruit inside the bag was all rotten. Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but remind her, "Rotten fruit is bad for your health. You should buy less of it in the future."
Shen Hongmei held the fruit in her hand, unsure whether to offer it or not.
After a long pause, she gave an embarrassed smile. "I saw that although the peels of these fruits don't look very appealing, they are still edible once the peels are removed. Besides, the salesperson said that these fruits are very sweet, and I couldn't bear to eat them myself, so I bought them for you."
Gu Nanzhi quickly replied, "We don't need it, you can take it back and eat it yourself."
"Did you come here today to see me about something?"
Shen Hongmei then remembered the important matter, "Let's go inside and talk."
Gu Nanzhi was completely confused. Logically speaking, Shen Hongmei shouldn't dare to contact them about Shen Yunyun anymore, so what could it be?
She quickly took out her keys, opened the door, and Shen Hongmei followed her inside.
Shen Hongmei naturally placed the fruit on the table and then found an empty seat to sit down.
"Nanzhi, you are the one who is doing the best in our family right now."
"Did you find out on the first day?" Gu Nanzhi said calmly.
Shen Hongmei wasn't angry. "Then you can't just think about yourself. You have to think about our younger generation too."
Gu Nanzhi said irritably, "Haven't I done enough for the Ye family over the years?"
"What exactly do you want from me today?" Gu Nanzhi was getting increasingly impatient with Shen Hongmei.
Shen Hongmei said directly, "The military region's grand competition is coming soon, which is a great opportunity for promotion. I hope you can help my Xiaochen get promoted to battalion commander."
Gu Nanzhi was furious. "Do you think the military region is your private property?"
"Whoever you want promoted, you can promote them?"
"Anyway, we don't have that ability."
She added, "This position really requires you to step up when things get tough. If your son doesn't have the ability, I advise you not to even think about getting promoted."
Shen Hongmei couldn't stand hearing anyone say anything bad about her son. "Who said my Ye Chen is incompetent?"
Gu Nanzhi replied, "Since he has the ability, then let him get promoted through his own abilities. Why are you asking me for help?"
"I don't have that ability."
Shen Hongmei choked, stammering for a long time without being able to squeeze out a single word.
Gu Nanzhi also warned, "Don't even think about going to Zhiyuan and my daughter-in-law. If I find out, I won't care about the Ye family anymore."
"Do you think the Ye family will blame you or me then?"
