Several people heard the conversation outside the ward.

It’s okay for Shen Jianguo and Shen Xiangnan, father and son, but Pei Wenping is his biological sister, so naturally she will be on his side.

Pei Yang was only worried about his wife, fearing that she would be angry because he had criticized his mother-in-law, although he did not think he was wrong.

"Wife, have you had dinner?"

Looking at the man's weathered and tired face, and the tension and flattery revealed in his eyes, Shen Mingzhu felt a sharp pain in her heart and heat inexplicably welled up in her eyes.

"I ate it. Did you eat it?"

Du Juan suddenly interrupted, "Mingzhu, take a good rest, we will go back first."

"Okay, go slowly on the road."

Du Juan picked up her daughter and took Shen Xiangguo and his wife away.

It’s so late, I definitely can’t go back to the countryside, so I can only squeeze in with them tonight.

Soon, only the family of three and Pei Wenping were left in the ward.

Upon learning that Pei Yang had not eaten yet, Pei Wenping hurriedly took out the food from the thermos.

Roast chicken with potatoes, and kelp bone soup.

Pei Yang was exhausted after a long day and was already starving. He almost drooled at the smell of meat, but he didn't immediately pick up the chopsticks to eat. Instead, he looked up and asked Shen Mingzhu, "Why aren't you eating?"

"Hongmei took Dad and the others to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, and she brought me some food."

Pei Yang handed the soup to her and said, "Then drink some soup."

Shen Mingzhu took the soup and drank two sips, then fed some to Pei Ziheng, and gave the rest to Pei Yang.

After Pei Yang finished his meal, Pei Wenping asked about the candy selling situation in the afternoon.

Pei Wenping was overjoyed when she learned that she had sold more than 200 kilograms. "When we get back, I'll ask your brother-in-law to help you sell it. Maybe you can sell another 100 kilograms."

"Thank you, big sister."

Shen Mingzhu was the first to express her gratitude, and then asked Pei Yang to give 20 yuan to Pei Wenping.

Pei Wenping glared at her, "What are you doing?"

"It's food money. You cook and deliver meals to me every day. I can't let you spend money again."

"Sister, take it."

Pei Wenping took the money.

She goes to work every day, and her mother-in-law is the one who buys groceries and cooks. By taking the money back, she can give an explanation to her in-laws.

After Pei Wenping left, Pei Yang leaned over and whispered to Shen Mingzhu, "I just talked about our mother, you're not angry, are you?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at him and said, "Why should I be angry? You protected me, and I am so happy."

Pei Yang was completely relieved and pecked her on the mouth quickly.

After the kiss, his face showed the satisfaction of a child who had eaten candy.

Shen Mingzhu glared at him with a pretty pink face, "I want to go to the bathroom."

"I'll go with you."

"Um."

Watching the two of them walking out of the ward intimately as if no one was around, Pei Ziheng's face puffed up.

On the way to the bathroom, Pei Yang deliberately slowed down his pace, wanting to spend more time alone with his wife, and by the way, he told her about Hu Guifen.

"It's true that the barking dog bites."

After confirming that the traitor was Hu Guifen, Shen Mingzhu was not without sarcasm.

After losing the contract, she suspected many people, including Shen Hongmei, but she never suspected Hu Guifen.

In fact, Hu Guifen usually behaves too honestly and dutifully, which is very deceptive.

"Wife, there is one more thing."

Pei Yang also told him about Huang Yuan's initiative to buy apple candy but was rejected by him, "...Wife, I don't want to do business with Hengxing."

Shen Mingzhu didn't care, "If you don't want to, then don't want to."

Pei Yang turned his head to look at her, "Aren't you going to ask the reason?"

"Birds of a feather flock together. Hengxing's partners are all Fushun and Xiyuan. They are probably not good people themselves. We don't need to play with them."

Pei Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tightened his grip around her waist.

He said that he didn't believe in Huang Yuan's character, but that was just an excuse. The real reason was that he didn't want to receive Yan Yi's favor.

After washing up, Shen Mingzhu lay on the bed and let the father and son go back to rest.

Pei Yang was worried and wanted to stay with her, but she refused.

"It's not like I can't move. If I can't move, there are nurses. You take your son home and have a good rest. I've already collapsed, so you can't collapse again."

What Shen Mingzhu said made sense. Besides, her son was at a growth spurt and really needed a good sleep.

Pei Yang had no choice but to take Pei Ziheng back home.

…

I don’t know if she was hurt or just too embarrassed, but the next day Qin Jinlian went back to her hometown and never came to the hospital again.

Shen Mingzhu enjoyed the quietness.

Pei Yang brought Pei Ziheng to the hospital early in the morning and took care of Shen Mingzhu's washing and brushing her teeth. After breakfast, he left Pei Ziheng in the hospital to accompany her and then rushed to the factory.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The workers need to be paid today.

In addition to wages, each person was given two kilograms of apple candies, two kilograms of oil and two kilograms of pork as New Year's goods.

The workers received their money and gifts and happily went home to celebrate the New Year.

Shen Hongmei also received her wages and gifts, but did not go home immediately. Instead, she planned to stay and help sell candy.

Pei Yang was short of staff, and Shen Hongmei was willing to stay, which he happily accepted, and he agreed to pay her overtime pay.

…

At noon, Zhao Yun ran to the hospital and kept Shen Mingzhu company by making jokes. Later, Shen Mingzhu wanted to take a nap, so Pei Ziheng said he wanted to go to the game hall with Zhao Yun to play for a while.

Shen Mingzhu was eager for her son to play more with children of the same age, so she naturally agreed.

After leaving the hospital, Pei Ziheng and Zhao Yun did not go to the game hall, but went to a dilapidated village in the city.

The two waited at the entrance of the urban village for a while, and then a porter carrying honeycomb coal came hurriedly towards them.

"Wait for me here."

After speaking to Zhao Yun, Pei Ziheng stepped forward with his short legs to meet the porter.

"Excuse me, are you Uncle Shi Yizhengshi?"

"Who are you?"

Shi Yi was looking at the little rascal who was blocking his way, his dark, weather-beaten face full of impatience.

He was busy delivering coal.

Pei Ziheng tilted his head, "It doesn't matter who I am. Don't you want to know the real reason why your sugar factory closed down three years ago?"

Shi Yi was staring at Pei Ziheng with eyes wide open.

However, this anger was not directed at Pei Ziheng, but at the person who framed him.

As an operator, he knows too well how wronged and aggrieved he is.

But he had just been released from prison and was busy making a living. He had no time, energy or ability to investigate the past.

"Uncle Shi, do you want the person who schemed against you to pay the price? I can help you."

…

"Who is he?"

Looking at Shi Yizhen who kept looking back every two steps, Zhao Yun asked Pei Ziheng curiously.

"It's no good for you to know more."

Zhao Yun shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Pei Ziheng, do you still consider me a friend? I tell you everything, and I have helped you with everything you asked me to do, but you don't tell me what's wrong."

Pei Ziheng turned his head and looked at him, "Squat down."

Zhao Yun thought that he was going to whisper something to him, so he squatted down hastily. However, Pei Ziheng stretched out his little paw and patted his shoulder, saying something earnestly:

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Zhao Yun: “…”

If I tell you that I was a murderous and arsonist in my previous life and that I was once imprisoned with the murderer Shi Yizhen, you would be scared.

So, I really do this for your own good.
