Rationally speaking, it is not cost-effective for him and Shen Baolan to divorce at this time.

In the past year of marriage, the wedding expenses, plus the mess caused by Shen Baolan, cost about two thousand yuan in total.

Even if you hire a nanny, it won't cost that much.

But emotionally, he really couldn't stand it for a day. Shen Baolan's nagging, vulgarity and crudeness made him feel disgusted and suffocated.

The thought of spending his whole life with a woman like this made him feel like life was meaningless.

But when he saw Shen Mingzhu holding Pei Ziheng in her arms with a gentle and peaceful look on her face, he suddenly made up his mind to divorce.

…

When Zhou Shuhuan arrived at the police station, Zhou Quanxiong was being harassed by Liu Cuihua and her husband.

The person who injured the man was Shen Hao. Liu Cuihua and Shen Dashan can go home after cooperating in taking the statement.

But their son was still in the police station, and Liu Cuihua and her husband were unwilling to leave.

After Zhou Quanxiong arrived at the police station, Liu Cuihua cried and begged, insisting that Zhou Quanxiong help her get Shen Hao out.

But Pei Ziheng's life or death is still unknown in the hospital. Zhou Quanxiong is just an ordinary old man, how could he have the ability to take away the murderer who is being interrogated?

Fortunately, Zhou Shuhuan came.

Zhou Quanxiong heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Pei Ziheng had only hit his head and was not in danger of life.

Unexpectedly, Liu Cuihua suddenly exploded, "Shen Mingzhu is such a bastard, she has such a black heart, what kind of hatred and grudge is that, she is determined to destroy our family!"

"…Baolan said a few gossipy things about her, and she asked the police to arrest Baolan. Now, just for such a minor injury, she asked the police to arrest my son as well! She has such a cruel heart. She wants us to have no descendants. Isn't she afraid of being punished by God?"

Zhou Shuhuan and his son Zhou Quanxiong were completely speechless.

What kind of person is your own daughter? As a mother, don't you have any idea?

You went to someone's house to beg them to spare your daughter, but you didn't even have the attitude of a beggar. You even broke their son's head. It's lucky that they didn't kill you with a knife.

Under normal circumstances, if both parties in such a dispute are willing to settle privately, the police station will not impose any punishment.

But when Pei Wenping called the police, she made it clear that she would not reconcile or accept apologies. Her only request was that the perpetrator be severely punished.

Therefore, the police station decided to detain Shen Hao for five days.

Once the penalty notice is issued, there is no possibility of changing it. At least, with the abilities of the Zhou family and Liu Cuihua, they are powerless to change the result.

Liu Cuihua felt both remorseful and angry. She was angry at Shen Mingzhu's cruelty, and even more angry at her daughter Shen Baolan.

After finally marrying into the city, she didn't live a good life, instead causing trouble all day long and even causing her son to go to jail.

…

Shen Baolan was locked up for two days, and she looked as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost.

When she saw Liu Cuihua coming to visit her, she thought she was there to save her and was extremely happy.

As a result, Liu Cuihua rushed up and gave her a big slap.

Although Shen Baolan had been beaten by Liu Cuihua when she was at her parents' home, she had never been beaten so fiercely. Her head was buzzing.

After being stunned for six or seven seconds, Shen Baolan seemed to react and burst into tears.

"Mom, why did you hit me? I was locked up for two days and you didn't care about me at all, and you still hit me, wuwuwu..."

Liu Cuihua stared at her, her eyes were full of hatred, "You still have the nerve to cry! You damned girl, you could be living a good life, why do you mess with Shen Mingzhu all day long? You are courting death, and you have also harmed your elder brother. What sin have I committed to give birth to such a scourge like you? If I had known you would be so capable of causing trouble, I should have stuffed you back when you were born!"

Shen Baolan was so shocked by the scolding, "What happened to big brother? Did Shen Mingzhu cause trouble for big brother? I won't let her go when I get out..."

“Bang!”

Liu Cuihua slapped him in the face again.

Liu Cuihua raised her hands and started beating him, cursing as she did so: "What's wrong with beating you? Shouldn't you be beating me? You've been married in the city for so long, and you haven't helped the family at all. You even got your brother implicated and sent to jail with you!"

"Look at Shen Mingzhu, she arranged a stable job for her second brother in the city, and opened a food factory with her eldest brother and his wife to make a lot of money. But you, you have nothing to do all day long, and you even got yourself into the police station. You are really capable. Do you want to anger me and your father to death?"

Shen Baolan hid while making a convincing argument: "What's so great about Shen Mingzhu? Her food factory will close down sooner or later, and she will owe the bank a huge debt that she will never be able to pay off in her lifetime. She will cry a lot in the future!"

"You're waiting for me to cry. Now I'm the one laughing at you and our whole family. You've embarrassed your father and me!"

"When I become a rich lady in a few years, they will envy you so much!"

——

After Shen Mingzhu brought Pei Ziheng home, many people from the family compound came to visit them carrying things.

For fear of disturbing Pei Ziheng's rest, Shen Mingzhu declined everyone's invitation, including Shen Chaobei and Du Juan.

Originally, the people in the family compound were dissatisfied with Shen Mingzhu's refusal, thinking that their kindness was taken for granted. But when they saw that Shen Mingzhu didn't even let her own brother in, they felt a little more understanding.

Pei Wenping stayed at Pei's house until the evening before leaving.

After Pei Wenping came downstairs, Shen Mingzhu remembered that she had forgotten to give Pei Wenping the mooncake.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely chase after him with mooncakes in hand.

But today is an exception. Although Pei Ziheng is sleeping in the room, she is worried about leaving Pei Ziheng alone at home, so she plans to wait for Pei Wenping to get home and then call her to ask her to come over when she is free.

Worried that Pei Ziheng had lost his appetite after sleeping for too long, Shen Mingzhu planned to wake him up before making dinner. However, when she opened the door of the second bedroom, she found that Pei Ziheng was already awake, staring blankly at the ceiling with his bright black eyes.

Hearing the door open, Pei Ziheng looked towards her and said, "Mom."

Shen Mingzhu walked over, bent over and asked him if he had a headache or felt dizzy.

Pei Ziheng shook his head gently, feeling that his mother was so gentle today, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of concern.

Although his mother usually cared about him, it was never as strong as it was today, as if he was a fragile glass doll.

After asking Pei Ziheng for his opinion, Shen Mingzhu carefully picked him up and went to the living room.

After putting Pei Ziheng on the sofa, Shen Mingzhu turned on the TV, tuned to Pei Ziheng's favorite channel, and made him a cup of malted milk.

"Just watch TV for a while while I make dinner. How about lean meat porridge?"

"Um."

After Shen Mingzhu went to the kitchen, Pei Ziheng touched the wound on his forehead and a devilish smile appeared on his pretty little face.

It's worth it to have such a minor injury in exchange for the person who bullied my mother to be punished.

Pei Ziheng picked up the malted milk on the coffee table and drank it happily.

…

"I plan to divorce Baolan."

In the evening, the Zhou family was eating with their bowls in hand when Zhou Shuhuan threw out such a shocking statement, leaving the two old people stunned.

Although Zhou Hao is young, he is familiar with the word divorce because his biological mother moved away after divorcing his father.

Now, Dad is going to divorce his stepmother again.

It doesn't matter.

"Dad, can you marry Pei Ziheng's mother to be my new stepmother?"

Zhou Haotian really made the request, but it caused the Zhou family to fall into a strange silence.
