"…After Zhou Shuhuan had a quarrel with his wife, he went out to drink with others in anger. His son was a filial son. Seeing his father being driven out by his stepmother, he cried and made a fuss, and insisted on driving his stepmother out. No one could appease him. Later, Aunt Ma really drove her out, and Zhou Hao finally calmed down."

"I heard that Shuhuan's wife sat at the door until 12 o'clock. She only came in when Zhou Shuhuan came home after drinking."

Shen Mingzhu only wanted to say that Shen Baolan deserved what happened to her! Perhaps she felt the crisis, and when Shen Baolan sent Zhou Hao to school today, she treated Zhou Hao like a little ancestor and kept him company, not even having the energy to get close to her.

Just when Shen Mingzhu thought she could live a peaceful life, another uninvited guest came to her door.

Looking at Wang Xiuzhu who came uninvited, Shen Mingzhu didn't give her a good look at all.

"What are you doing here?"

"Shen Mingzhu, why didn't you stop Pei Yang? Do you know how dangerous the sea area where the Tai'an crashed is? He might not be able to come back!"

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Oh, who are you? And what is your identity to accuse me of a crime?"

Wang Xiuzhu bit her lip in anger, "You are so stupid that it is unreasonable. At this time, you are still jealous of me. Don't you worry about Pei Yang's life or death?"

"Do I need to explain to you whether I am worried or not? Wang Xiuzhu, have you forgotten how you scolded me for being selfish, accused me of causing Pei Yang to lose his job, and accused me of ruining Pei Yang's future?"

"Didn't you say Pei Yang loves the ocean, loves the profession of seafarer, and that he has outstanding abilities? So you've said all the good and bad things, and whatever I do is wrong?"

"Wang Xiuzhu, who do you think you are? You think too highly of yourself when you say I'm jealous. In my eyes, you're nothing. Pei Yang doesn't even look at you straight in the eye. Don't you have any sense of shame? If your parents knew you were so shameless, they would probably want to stuff you back into their stomachs and rebuild you."

Wang Xiuzhu was scolded so much that her face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Shen Mingzhu, you're going too far. I just care about Pei Yang. I don't want to snatch her away from you..."

"You didn't even think about it! You just don't have the ability to steal it!" Shen Mingzhu sneered twice and continued to fire, "Is this too much? If you don't get out of here, I can go even further. Do you want to try?"

Wang Xiuzhu took two steps back in fear, but she remained firm, "You don't love Pei Yang at all, you don't care about him at all! You let him go even though you knew there was danger..."

Shen Mingzhu was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly picked up the feather duster on the shoe cabinet and pretended to hit someone.

"Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I won't be polite!"

Wang Xiuzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She cursed Shen Mingzhu as a "shrew" and then turned around and ran downstairs.

Wang Xiuzhu had no relatives or friends in Fengcheng. She originally thought that Shen Mingzhu would take her in for a night out of friendship, but in the end she was not even allowed in and was scolded in a very ugly way.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever scolded her like this.

I couldn’t buy a train ticket back to school that day, and I couldn’t stay in a hotel or guesthouse without a letter of introduction. In the end, I could only find a shabby little hotel to stay in.

The environment of the small hotel was far worse than that of hotels and guesthouses, and the sound insulation was not good. There were even drunkards knocking on her door in the middle of the night. Wang Xiuzhu, who came from a wealthy family, had never experienced such things before. She was so scared that she didn't dare to close her eyes all night.

The next morning, she checked out and ran to the train station.

After buying the train ticket, Wang Xiuzhu couldn't help but call her aunt to vent her grievance.

She thought the other person would comfort her.

As a result, after hearing that she had secretly gone to Fengcheng to find Shen Mingzhu, Wang Huizhen was so angry that she scolded her and said she deserved it and was a slut.

Wang Xiuzhu was already feeling aggrieved, and when Wang Huizhen scolded her, she burst into tears, causing passers-by to look at her as if they were looking at a psychopath.

After school, Shen Mingzhu picked up Pei Ziheng and planned to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables as usual.

As a result, when they were halfway there, Pei Ziheng suddenly called her.

"Mother."

"Well, what's up, son?"

Pei Ziheng stared at her for a while, silently took off his schoolbag, unzipped it, and took out a bunch of bright and eye-catching roses from it.

"For you."

Shen Mingzhu took the flower with surprise and delight, put it to her nose and smelled it, it was extremely fragrant.

The smile on her face was brighter than the rose in her hand. "Thank you, son. I like it very much."

Pei Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said very seriously: "Mom, I wish you a happy birthday and stay beautiful forever."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned for two seconds before she realized that the date of birth on her household registration book seemed to be today, April 17th.

Shen Mingzhu felt inexplicably relieved and moved. She couldn't help but hug her stepson and kiss his snow-white cheek.

"Son, thank you for the birthday present. Mom likes it very much."

Two pink blushes appeared on Pei Ziheng's snow-white cheeks, and he pursed his lips slightly, looking a little shy.

Pei Ziheng has a pretty face like a doll, with cold white skin. At this moment, his blushing face and shy look make him look particularly cute and soft, just like some kind of adorable furry pet, which makes people want to rub it. Shen Mingzhu did not go to the vegetable market, but took Pei Ziheng to the only French restaurant in Fengcheng.

Of course you have to have a big dinner on your birthday, it only happens once a year.

"Son, order whatever you want to eat. Miss Shen will pay for tonight!"

Pei Ziheng reminded seriously, "Do you want to check how much money you have in your wallet first?"

"Don't be afraid, just eat with confidence. At worst, we can stay and help wash the dishes after you finish eating."

“…”

This was of course a joke. Shen Mingzhu looked at her wallet. There was a total of 27 yuan, which was more than enough to buy groceries, but a little bit tight for a French meal.

Counting the money in her wallet, Shen Mingzhu ordered a steak, a salad, two soups, and a free slice of bread, which was enough to fill the mother and son.

The waiters in the high-end restaurant were of high quality. They did not neglect the mother and son despite their low consumption and were even considerate enough to give them some extra bread slices.

However, although this is a high-end restaurant, there is no shortage of uncultured and uneducated customers.

"Some women are just too vain and don't know their own status. If they can't afford to eat, then they shouldn't force themselves to eat. They are so stingy that they make people laugh at them."

"Yes, two people only ordered a steak and a salad, but asked for a large plate of bread slices. If you want to save money, you should go to a small restaurant outside. You can eat as much rice and noodles as you want for free."
