"Mom, I know I was wrong. I was too confused to think straight before. But now I've come to terms with it. Shuhuan and I are still young, and we'll have children in the future. When I get better, I'll give you a big fat grandson. In the future, he and I will be filial to you and let you spend your old age in peace. Mom, please forgive me."

Ma Sufen sat on the sofa, glancing towards the kitchen from time to time, feeling puzzled.

Could it be that this little whore has been possessed by evil spirits?

After thinking about it, she always felt that her daughter-in-law was too weird today. She couldn't help but pick up the phone and call her son, asking him to come home early after get off work because she had something to tell him.

After receiving the call, Zhou Shuhuan thought that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were quarreling at home again, so he made up an excuse for coming home late and hung up the phone.

——

There were many parents picking up their children from school at the entrance of the kindergarten, but Pei Ziheng found Shen Mingzhu in the crowd at a glance and took the initiative to walk towards her.

On the contrary, Shen Mingzhu didn't know what she was thinking until her hand was grabbed by Pei Ziheng, which made her come to her senses.

"Son, your dad is gone."

No wonder she looked in a bad mood.

"oh."

Shen Mingzhu was quite surprised by her son's calmness. "Your father is gone, aren't you sad at all?"

Pei Ziheng tilted his pretty face up, his expression full of confusion, "He just left, he's not dead, why should I be sad?"

“…”

Shen Ming couldn't help but mutter: "His passing is almost the same as his death."

Pei Ziheng said nothing, but looked at Shen Mingzhu with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Last year, she was worried that his father would die, and he suspected at the time that she had foreseen something. Until a few days ago, she took the initiative to confess her origins. He was almost certain that she must have known something that might happen in the future, including his father's death, in some way.

But looking at her now, it seems that she doesn't know that her father has escaped death?

Should he tell her?

How should I tell her?

——

"Dad, you're back. I've made tea for you on the table. Drink it while it's hot. I'll go cook the food and we'll be able to eat soon."

Zhou Quanxiong stared at his attentive daughter-in-law as if he didn't recognize her.

After Shen Baolan went to the kitchen, he quickly pulled his wife aside and muttered, "What's wrong with her?"

After a day of digestion, Ma Sufen has become much calmer about Shen Baolan's changes.

"It's a curse."

Zhou Quanxiong picked up the teacup, stared at Shen Baolan who was busy in the kitchen, and put the cup to his mouth. He accidentally got scalded by the boiling tea, and the pain made him grit his teeth.

While eating.

Shen Baolan not only diligently helped the old couple to serve rice and soup, but also held the bowl of rice and wanted to feed her stepson Zhou Hao. However, Zhou Hao was already accustomed to eating by himself and refused to let her feed him, so Shen Baolan had to give up.

While eating, Shen Baolan kept talking as she told her mother-in-law about Pei Yang's passing, her tone full of gloating.

"With Pei Yang gone, Shen Mingzhu has even less hope in this life."

Ma Sufen was still frightened by Shen Mingzhu's temper, and her son didn't like her gossiping about Pei Yang, so she didn't respond.

Instead, Zhou Quanxiong, who was a man of few words, said, "There was an accident on a ship in our company. Pei Yang should have gone to check on the situation."

Shen Baolan only cared about whether Pei Yang would die or not. "Will Pei Yang go out to sea this time?"

Shen Baolan was a little disappointed, and couldn't help but pray silently in her heart: Go to sea, go to sea tomorrow, it's best to die on the sea and never come back! As long as Pei Yang died, it would prove that the dream was true, then her man would definitely become a multi-millionaire, and she would become a rich wife!

In the evening, when Zhou Shuhuan returned home, he not only enjoyed the treatment of Shen Baolan's help in washing his feet, but even when he got to bed, Shen Baolan helped him massage his shoulders, waist and back.

Although Zhou Shuhuan was puzzled, he did not refuse.

Compared with her parents-in-law and stepson, her husband is the one she needs to please more.

Thinking of this, Shen Baolan massaged extra vigorously and told Zhou Shuhuan about Pei Yang's departure as gossip.

When Zhou Shuhuan heard that Pei Yang was gone, the first person he thought of was Shen Mingzhu.

Pei Yang had been gone for several months, and her life must have been difficult again.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard humming behind me.

Zhou Shuhuan turned around, stared at Shen Baolan's gloating face, and said coldly: "Pei Yang is gone, why are you happy?"

Is it okay to just hate Shen Mingzhu? Shen Baolan didn't know her husband's true thoughts, and said happily: "Before I lost my child, Shen Mingzhu must have laughed at me behind my back. Now that her husband is gone, I wonder how she can still be so arrogant."

What I lost was just an unborn son, but what Shen Mingzhu lost was a man.

Once Pei Yang died, Shen Mingzhu had no hope in this life. She could only bear the pain of raising a burden until her life was over.

The more Shen Baolan thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. She wanted to set off two strings of firecrackers to celebrate. Immersed in her fantasy, she didn't notice how cold and disgusted her husband looked at her.

——

The next day, Shen Mingzhu sent Pei Ziheng to kindergarten as usual, and bumped into Shen Baolan not far from the apartment building.

Seeing that Shen Baolan was trying to come closer in a servile manner, Shen Mingzhu simply glanced at her coldly.

"Shen Baolan, I'm in a bad mood today, so you'd better not provoke me, otherwise I'll make you regret it."

Shen Baolan was somewhat frightened by Shen Mingzhu's aura. She led Zhou Hao away angrily, but secretly laughed at him in her heart.

Shen Mingzhu, oh Shen Mingzhu, when the news of Pei Yang's death comes back, you will become a widow, I will wait and see how you cry! -

After sending Pei Ziheng home, Shen Mingzhu received a call from Pei Yang.

Hearing the familiar low voice of the man on the phone, Shen Mingzhu's eyes felt slightly sour for some reason.

It was only at this moment that she realized that she wanted him to be safe and alive more than she had imagined.

"Mingzhu, I'm leaving soon. The unit has formed a rescue team and I'm the deputy captain. In half an hour I'll be heading to the accident site to participate in the search and rescue work."

The moment the man finished speaking, Shen Mingzhu's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mingzhu, can you talk to me? I want to hear your voice."

After a long silence, a man's somewhat gentle voice came from the microphone.

Shen Mingzhu wiped the tears from her face and tried to make her voice sound calm, "Pei Yang, if you die, I will take Ziheng with me and remarry, and let Ziheng call someone else dad."

The man's heavy breathing could be heard from the other end of the phone. "...Okay. If I really die, you can find a man you like and live a good life with him. Mingzhu, if I really can't come back, I don't want you to wait for me. I hope you are happy and will be happy all your life without any grievances."

The moment she hung up the phone, Shen Mingzhu burst into tears.

She regretted not having made the decision while her man was at home.

What a good opportunity to kill the father and keep the son, but she wasted it.

Woo woo woo.
