Shen Mingzhu was also furious, and she directly retorted, "It's none of your business. I just like to help others raise their sons. I am happy and I am happy. Even if it is someone else's son, I can raise him better than my own, and let him become a pillar of society, be filial to me, and provide for me in my old age. What, are you envious? Envy and jealousy are useless. Some of your own children are better off not being born, because they are only there to collect debts!"
When everyone heard this, they realized that this was not the rationale.
Pei Yang's wife has raised her stepson so well. He is sensible, obedient and smart, and is filial and respectful to his stepmother Shen Mingzhu. Isn't he much better than having a biological child?
Pei Ziheng, who was being led by Shen Mingzhu, also spoke up to support her, "Mom, you are my only mother. You are my biological mother. When I grow up, I will make a lot of money, buy you a big house to live in, buy you a car to drive, and hire three nannies to serve you, so that you can enjoy your old age."
Oh, listen, such a caring and filial son, what does it matter whether he is his biological son or not? Shen Mingzhu looked at her stepson and was so moved that she barely managed to hold back tears.
It's really worth raising her here, as she knows how to protect her as a mother.
Shen Baolan was unwilling to accept this and criticized Pei Ziheng's life experience, "I don't know where your Pei Yang found such a stupid child, and he even thinks you, his stepmother, are his biological mother."
Shen Mingzhu stared at Shen Baolan coldly, "If you don't want me to tear your mouth apart, then shut it. If I hear you making up stories about my Ziheng again, I won't care if you're pregnant or not, I'll beat you up anyway."
The onlookers couldn't stand it either and condemned Shen Baolan. They said that it was okay for adults to have a few quarrels, but it was really shameless to use children to make trouble.
Shen Baolan was at a loss for words and shut her mouth in anger.
——
On the way to kindergarten, the children walked in front, laughing and playing all the way.
Several mothers who had a good relationship with Shen Mingzhu followed behind, chatting and laughing. On the other hand, no one wanted to pay attention to Shen Baolan. Even Zhou Hao refused to let her hold the hand, and instead ran wildly with the other children. She could not walk fast with her big belly, so she could only walk alone at the back.
One of the mothers turned her head to look at Shen Baolan, then turned back to comfort Shen Mingzhu, "Ziheng's mother, Shuhuan's wife is a nagging and annoying person, you should ignore her. In the future, avoid her when you see her. She is pregnant now, and if something happens, she will blame you. There is no need for you to cause trouble."
As they were talking, the topic turned to Pei Yang.
In fact, with the "spreading" of Shen Baolan and Ma Sufen, the news that Pei Yang was not doing well had spread like wildfire in the family compound.
These mothers would take the initiative to talk to Shen Mingzhu about other gossips circulating in the family compound.
But Shen Mingzhu was the person involved in this matter, and the mothers tacitly discussed it behind Shen Mingzhu's back.
Today, the conversation turned to this and someone had the courage to ask Shen Mingzhu for confirmation.
"Is your Pei Yang really not good at that?"
"I heard that you haven't consummated your marriage yet?"
"It's normal for men to have some problems, Ziheng's mother, don't feel embarrassed, and don't be afraid to see a doctor. I know an old Chinese doctor who is very effective in this area. I'll give you the address of the clinic later. When you have time, take Pei Yang to see a doctor. Maybe he will be cured soon."
Although they said they were comforting others, only they themselves knew whether they were comforting or gloating.
Shen Mingzhu was too lazy to explain and just had an awkward but polite smile on her face.
Pei Yang is the pillar of the family. If he doesn’t take the blame, who else will?
…
"Go away, I don't want to go with you!"
Several mothers gathered around Shen Mingzhu and taught her various folk remedies for curing men's hidden ailments. As they were talking excitedly, an angry shout suddenly came from the front.
When everyone looked over, they saw Pei Ziheng with a cold face getting angry at Wang Shiting.
Wang Shiting was in a daze, seemingly not having reacted yet, but her beautiful big eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
Shen Mingzhu and Jiang Jing, Wang Shiting's mother, both walked over immediately.
Wang Shiting, who was held by Jiang Jing, burst into tears. The little girl, who was only a few years old, cried with tears in her eyes, which was particularly pitiful.
Shen Mingzhu felt very embarrassed and quickly apologized to Jiang Jing and spoke to comfort Wang Shiting.
Jiang Jing held her daughter in her arms and said that everything was fine, but her expression and eyes showed deep displeasure.
Shen Mingzhu lowered her head and pulled Pei Ziheng, asking him to apologize to Wang Shiting.
"I don't apologize."
Shen Mingzhu was a little surprised.
Although her stepson was a rebellious person, he always listened to her in front of outsiders. But today he was a little abnormal.
Jiang Jing was not happy that her daughter was made to cry. When she saw Pei Ziheng's rebelliousness, she immediately said in a cold voice, "Forget it. Children are bound to have quarrels. Shi Ting, stop crying. Let's be generous and not bother with him."
The implicit meaning of these words was to imply that Pei Ziheng was uneducated.
Shen Mingzhu was a little unhappy, but she didn't get angry at Pei Ziheng. Instead, she asked patiently.

"Zihang, why don't you apologize? You made Wang Shiting cry. I told you that boys should be graceful and give in to girls."
Pei Ziheng's dark eyes were filled with mist, and his voice was filled with grievance and anger, "She is a big mouth, I don't want to play with her."
Before Shen Mingzhu could even open her mouth, Jiang Jing got angry first.
"Pei Ziheng, what are you talking about? Bullying my Shi Ting is not enough, right? You dare to make up stories in front of adults. Mingzhu, I think you should strengthen Ziheng's ideological and moral education. It's outrageous!"
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Jiang Jing and didn't respond.
Based on her understanding of Pei Ziheng, she would definitely not do anything without a purpose.
really--
"I'm not talking nonsense! You always come to talk to me, and I treat you as a friend, so I didn't hide anything from you about our family. But you turn around and tell others about it."
"Wang Shiting is your daughter. She will definitely follow your example and become a gossiper. Like mother, like daughter."
Jiang Jing's face flushed red as if she had been slapped in the face.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with strange and spectacle-watching eyes, she hurriedly tried to explain to Shen Mingzhu, but Pei Ziheng spoke first again, "Usually, Dad and Mom sleep together. It was only that night that Dad drank too much, so Mom drove Dad to sleep in my room. The only ones who came to my house that day were you, Aunt Jiang, and Wang Shiting. You and Wang Shiting were the only ones who knew that my dad slept in my room. If you didn't tell anyone, it must be Wang Shiting, not anyone else!"
Jiang Jing was speechless.
Wang Shiting was so scared that she didn't dare to cry. She opened her big tearful eyes and looked at this and that, at a loss as to what to do.
In fact, Shen Mingzhu knew about the news of her sleeping in separate beds with Pei Yang and guessed that it was Jiang Jing who did it, but she had no evidence after all. Moreover, they lived in the same family compound and saw each other every day. She didn't think of pursuing the matter or making a fuss about it.
But she never thought that it would be revealed by the innocent Pei Ziheng.
But to be honest, Pei Ziheng's action really helped her vent her anger.
Shen Mingzhu did not question or blame Jiang Jing, but her face showed disappointment and embarrassment.
People tend to sympathize with the weak. The more she showed that she was forbearing and aggrieved, the more Jiang Jing became the target of public criticism.
The contempt and scorn from the children's mothers were like invisible swords, making Jiang Jing feel ashamed.
