"…the couple quarreled until late at night, making it impossible for anyone in the entire building to sleep. You didn't see it. Zhou Shuhuan slapped Shen Baolan twice, and her face was swollen like a steamed bun."

"I really can't believe that Zhou Shuhuan is such a gentle and introverted man, but he is so ruthless when it comes to beating a woman."

"Shen Baolan cried and said she had aborted the baby in her belly, but Zhou Shuhuan didn't even look at her. He turned around and went home. In the early morning, he went to work as if nothing had happened."

"Old man Zhou is not at home either, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are probably going to have another fight. But poor Zhou Hao, he was scared and cried loudly last night. As a mother, I can't stand hearing my child cry. My heart aches, so I brought Shi Ting to your house to have some free time and chat with you. You don't think I'm annoying, do you?"

Early in the morning, Wang Shiting's mother brought her daughter to play with Shen Mingzhu and told her gossip about the Zhou family.

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "How could that be? Your Shi Ting is well-behaved and cute, I like her very much. My Ziheng is just too dull. I hope to have a child of the same age come home to help him become more calm."

Wang Shiting glanced at the two children squatting beside the coffee table and said enviously, "Just be content. Your son Ziheng is so sensible, obedient and smart. You don't know how many mothers in the family compound envy you. Even I envy you to death."

"Your Shi Ting is not bad either. She can sing and dance well at such a young age..."

As they were happily chatting with each other, the door of Pei Ziheng's room opened and Pei Yang walked out sleepily. He looked a little dazed when he saw the guest.

"Morning."

Wang Shiting's mother smiled and said, "It's getting late. The sun is already high in the sky."

Pei Yang touched his head and went to the bathroom embarrassedly.

Wang Shiting's mother stared at Pei Yang's tall and straight figure for a few seconds, then turned to whisper in Shen Mingzhu's ear, "You are so lucky. There is no one else in the family compound with Pei Yang's looks and physique. It's because he is away from home all year round, otherwise the threshold of the Pei family would have been trampled down."

"Tell me, what did Shen Baolan think at the beginning? Didn't she marry Zhou Shuhuan because she didn't like Pei Yang? But now that your Pei Yang is back, she wants to stick her eyes on him. No wonder Zhou Shuhuan, who has such a good temper, got so angry that he started a fight. He must have felt aggrieved. Which man can bear the humiliation of being cuckolded, right?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Who knows what she is thinking."

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu didn't want to talk about this, Wang Shiting's mother tactfully changed the subject and talked about something else.

After a while, Pei Yang came out of the bathroom after washing up.

Perhaps it was inconvenient because there were other women in the house, so after going to the kitchen to serve breakfast, he returned to Pei Ziheng's room.

Wang Shiting glanced at the closed door and asked Shen Mingzhu curiously, "Why doesn't Pei Yang go back to your room? Why does he always go to Ziheng's room? Did you have a fight?"

"No, I haven't been feeling well these days, so I let him sleep in Ziheng's room."

“I see.”

Wang Shiting's mother smiled and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

It was almost 11 o'clock before Wang Shiting and her daughter left.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Pei Yang came out of the room, staring at her with dark eyes, like a hungry wolf.

Shen Mingzhu got up and went to the kitchen pretending to cook.

Pei Yang also followed into the kitchen, "Mingzhu, yesterday we..."

"We're out of garlic. Go buy some garlic and some vegetables."

Shen Mingzhu interrupted the man, opened the lid of the rice jar and scooped out rice to cook.

"I'm not going."

Shen Mingzhu squinted at the man coldly.

Pei Yang bargained with her expectantly, "I will go unless you and I kiss again."

"What did you say?"

Looking at the sharp kitchen knife in Shen Mingzhu's hand, Pei Yang put away his thoughts silently, "I'll just change my clothes and go, what else do you want to buy?"

Shen Mingzhu gave the man a look that said "you're smart" and put down the kitchen knife. "You can buy whatever you want. Take Ziheng with you so he can get familiar with the way. When you're not around, he can help me buy groceries."

What do you mean he is gone?

He's just not at home often.

After the father and son left the house, Shen Mingzhu's face showed an inexplicable irritation.

She seemed unable to remain indifferent as before regarding the fact that Pei Yang would soon die.

At the same time, a piece of gossip was quietly spreading in the family compound.

"No way, the couple has a good relationship, how could they sleep in separate rooms? Who told you this nonsense?"

"It's true. Some time ago, Fairy Ma came to the family compound to help someone pray for the gods. When she saw Pei Yang's wife, she was surprised. She said that Pei Yang's wife had a good marriage plan, but she was still a virgin. Several people heard this at the time."

"Yes, I didn't believe it at the time. I thought Fairy Ma was old and her eyes were blurry."

"I'm telling you guys, don't tell anyone. The problem seems to be with Pei Yang. He's not good at that."

"Is this true? Pei Yang is such a big guy, how can he not do it?"

"You don't know this, right? Some men are good-looking but useless. Do you know why the eldest sister-in-law of the Pei family has been running back to her parents' home recently? She came to bring nourishing soup to Pei Yang. Pei Yang couldn't finish it himself, so he gave a lot to Zhou Shuhuan and He Tao."

"Tsk tsk, it's really hard for Pei Yang's wife. Such a pretty and smart girl has to deal with such a useless man. Her life is ruined."

"Who says it's not true? Marrying someone like Pei Yang is like marrying a horse dung ball or a goat dung ball, shiny on the surface but chaffy inside."

Shen Baolan, who was not far away, was stunned.

Pei Yang is not good enough?

Pei Yang is actually not good at that? That's not right. Last year, Shen Mingzhu clearly said that Pei Yang was very strong in that aspect.

Could it be that Shen Mingzhu was lying to her? Shen Baolan chewed her nails and thought for a long time, then decided to go to Ma Xiangu to verify it.

Ma Xiangu was very famous in the North Street area, and Shen Baolan found Ma Xiangu's residence without much effort.

When she learned the purpose of Shen Baolan's visit, Ma Xiangu initially refused to tell her, making the excuse that she had forgotten. It was not until Shen Baolan took out two dollars that Ma Xiangu opened her mouth.

It was like a bolt of thunder, which stunned Shen Baolan.

Shen Mingzhu is actually a virgin.

Pei Yang turned out to be a good person, so why should she fight for it? In order to ensure that everything was safe, Shen Baolan gritted her teeth and took out another five yuan, asking Ma Xiangu to go with her.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not.

She had to find out whether Pei Yang was useful or not! Shen Mingzhu opened the door and saw that the person outside was Shen Baolan. She wanted to close the door immediately, but Shen Baolan was faster than her and directly put her foot inside the door.

Considering that Shen Baolan was a pregnant woman, Shen Mingzhu did not dare to take direct action.

"Shen Baolan, are you sick?"

Shen Baolan ignored Shen Mingzhu and turned to talk to Ma Xiangu behind her, "Xiangu, please take a look!"

Only then did Shen Mingzhu notice that there was a thin and frail old woman standing behind Shen Baolan.

While she was looking at the other person, the other person also looked her up and down, his pair of small green bean-like eyes sparkling with brilliance.

"Fairy, how are you?"

Shen Baolan couldn't wait to ask.
