Shen Baolan was in a daze when she suddenly heard someone shouting. She subconsciously looked over and found that it was a few children from the family compound. Each of them was holding a bag of snacks and eating while happily shouting "Mingzhu".

Only then did she notice that the staff quarters seemed too lively today, just like the Chinese New Year.

She pulled someone over at random and found out that Shen Mingzhu was holding a food tasting meeting.

All residents of the family compound can try the spicy strips and dried tofu produced by the food factory for free.

Shen Baolan followed the excitement and came to Shen Mingzhu's stall.

On the two-meter-long table, bags of dried tofu and spicy strips are neatly arranged, with the eye-catching "Mingzhu" trademark printed on the transparent wrapping paper.

Shen Mingzhu was busy registering tasting suggestions, and it was only when Du Juan touched her that she noticed Shen Baolan had returned.

I almost didn't recognize it at first glance.

Shen Baolan did not look very good. There was a thick layer of grease on her face, her hair was greasy in wisps, her eyes were dull and her expression was wooden, as if she was sleepwalking.

Shen Mingzhu took just one look and then withdrew her attention, continuing to concentrate on recording everyone's suggestions.

"Come back with me!"

Zhou Shuhuan came over and seemed to be afraid that Shen Baolan would cause trouble, so he dragged her away.

When the people around saw this scene, their expressions varied.

Some distance away from Shen Mingzhu’s stall, Jiang Jing and several kindergarten mothers were chatting while eating free snacks.

"What a coincidence! Shen Baolan was released from the detention center today, and Shen Mingzhu happened to hold a food tasting event today, so everyone could see Shen Baolan in this state."

"She is very scheming. Before, Shen Baolan told her that her food factory was going to close down. Although she didn't say anything, she was holding a grudge in her heart. So today, she did this to slap Shen Baolan in the face?"

"Okay, stop talking. Have you forgotten how Shen Baolan got in?"

Someone reminded them of this, and the faces of several mothers changed slightly. They changed the subject with lingering fear.

"You know what, the spicy noodles made by Shen Mingzhu's food factory are quite delicious, fragrant and spicy. After eating a pack, I still want to eat more, just like I'm addicted."

Jiang Jing glanced at the man, opened her mouth, took a bite of the dried tofu, and chewed it carefully.

…

Shen Baolan looked at Zhou Shuhuan who was pulling her home, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

This was the second time Zhou Shuhuan held her hand, except for the day when they got married, when he took her hand to recognize relatives and toast her.

It's strange to say.

When they first got married, Zhou Shuhuan cared about her very much and had sex with her every one or two days.

On the contrary, she looked down on Zhou Shuhuan in all aspects. She felt that Zhou Shuhuan was thin, dull and untalkative, had no future and his career was short.

She didn't know if it was because she had been a widow for too long, or if she had developed feelings for Zhou Shuhuan, but she actually liked him now.

Although Zhou Shuhuan is not tall, he has a well-proportioned figure. Wearing a white shirt and glasses, he has the temperament of a handsome scholar.

Even if Zhou Shuhuan couldn't become a wealthy man in the future, she didn't want to get divorced.

"Shuhuan, I don't want a divorce. Please give me another chance. I will live a peaceful life and never cause trouble again."

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Baolan began to beg.

"My parents and I have already discussed the divorce, and there is no room for change." Zhou Shuhuan's voice was unusually cold.

Only then did Shen Baolan notice that Ma Sufen and Zhou Quanxiong were both at home.

The two old people sat upright on the sofa, looking at her in silence, with cold and stern expressions, as if they were judges about to sentence her to death.

Shen Baolan was stunned for two seconds, then ran to Ma Sufen and knelt down.

Ma Sufen didn't buy her trick at all and pushed her away with a cold snort, "If you know what's good for you, go and complete the formalities with Shuhuan right away, otherwise don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship."

Seeing that Ma Sufen refused to help her, Shen Baolan knelt down and walked to Zhou Quanxiong, bent down and kowtowed to him several times.

He kowtowed and begged, "Dad, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will definitely change in the future..."

Zhou Quanxiong turned his face away from her, using silence to express his attitude and determination.

Zhou Shuhuan came over and tried to pull Shen Baolan up, but Shen Baolan hugged her legs and cried bitterly.

"Shuhuan, I don't want a divorce. Please don't chase me away. Tell me what's wrong with me and I will change. Please don't divorce me, I beg you... wuwuwu..."

Shen Baolan's crying did not make the Zhou family feel sympathy and pity. Instead, they felt more disgusted and disgusted with her.

She had just come out of the detention center, her hair was disheveled, and when she cried she looked like an ugly she-devil. In addition, she caused a lot of trouble, making the entire Zhou family a laughing stock. She also cursed Pei Yang behind his back. All these evil deeds made the Zhou family members give her a "death sentence" in their hearts.

"It's no use crying, we have to get a divorce! If you don't agree to a divorce, we'll have to meet in court!" Ma Sufen cursed angrily.

Zhou Quanxiong also advised, "Baolan, you and Shuhuan are husband and wife, so let's part ways in peace and don't make a scene that will lose face."

Zhou Shuhuan looked at her and said, "If you have any other requests, you can ask. I will try my best to meet them if I can."

Shen Baolan looked at this, then looked at that, her face covered with tears, "No, I won't divorce! I will never divorce you even if I die!"

This angered Ma Sufen, and she immediately kicked Shen Baolan out of the house, throwing away all the luggage that had been packed in advance.

…

In the evening, Shen Mingzhu was looking through the suggestions she had collected during the day one by one to see if there was anything useful. Halfway through, Feng Huiying came over with a small piece of watermelon.

Although He Tao and Pei Yang have a good relationship, Shen Mingzhu and Feng Huiying have always had a gentlemanly relationship.

But the last time she took Pei Ziheng to the He family, her relationship with Feng Huiying became much closer.

Feng Huiying put down the watermelon and first chatted with her about the fun of today's tasting session, and then talked about the Zhou family.

"… Not long after she returned, she was kicked out by Aunt Ma. She even threw her things out, but she refused to leave and kept crying at the door of Zhou's house…"

"The Zhou family is really cruel. I have served them for a year. Even if I have not done anything good, I have worked hard. But they just kicked me out."

"But it's her own fault. She has caused so much trouble in the past year since she got married. I would hate her too if I were her."

Shen Mingzhu and her son were eating watermelons with their mouths while their ears were not idle either. They ate the watermelons until they were full.

…

"Mom, I want to go play with Zhou Hao."

When Shen Mingzhu heard Pei Ziheng's request, although she was curious, she agreed verbally.

She had always hoped that Pei Ziheng could be more cheerful and lively. She would be more than happy if he was willing to take the initiative to find friends to play with.

"Wash your hands and I'll take you there."

"No, Mom, I'm already in first grade and can find my way by myself."

Shen Mingzhu pretended to hesitate for a moment, "Okay, then, go home before nine o'clock."

"Um."

After Pei Ziheng left the door, Shen Mingzhu went to the balcony.

Only after seeing Pei Ziheng go downstairs, cross the yard of the staff quarters, and enter unit No. 2 where the Zhou family lived, did Shen Mingzhu feel relieved and return to the living room.
