Looking at Pei Ziheng's current height, Pei Yang was quite satisfied.

Three centimeters may not sound like a lot, but Pei Ziheng measured his height once before New Year's Day, and he was 1.25 meters tall. In just over two months, he has grown another three centimeters, and now his height is 1.28 meters.

Shen Mingzhu took a marker and wrote the date neatly on the 1.28-meter scale line.

After writing, Shen Mingzhu held her son in her arms affectionately, pointed to the date on the bottom line, and said happily, "When mommy first came, you were only this tall, but now you are this tall, a full 15 centimeters taller. Son, you are awesome."

Pei Ziheng's bright black eyes fell on the fingers between Shen Mingzhu's fingers measuring the height, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a pleased smile.

He's grown taller again, that's great.

Growing taller means growing up.

He needs to grow up quickly so that he can better protect his mother and sister.

…

After breakfast, the father and son went out together, one to work and the other to school.

The food factory is currently under construction, and Shen Mingzhu can go or not.

She took out some pieces of cloth that had been given to her by relatives and friends, selected khaki and blue, cut each into a length of 1.2 meters, and planned to find a tailor to make two new pairs of trousers for her son.

After putting the cut cloth into a bag, Shen Mingzhu was about to change her shoes and go out when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, I found two strange men.

"Hello, is this Shen Mingzhu? We are from the Narcotics Squad, and we need your and your husband's cooperation in the investigation."

Although it is said that if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear, but Shen Mingzhu still felt nervous when the anti-drug police came to her house for no apparent reason.

She tried to stay calm and only let the two men in after looking at their police ID cards.

The police officer appreciated her vigilance and realized that she was pregnant. After she sat down, he comforted her, "Ms. Shen, don't be nervous. We just ask a few questions and won't keep you too long."

Shen Mingzhu nodded, "You guys ask."

…

Choose the lesser of two evils.

After learning that he might be involved in the capital crime of drug trafficking, Shi Guangsheng chose to confess and confessed everything about the fact that he had purchased poppy shells several times to frame his competitors.

After all, frame-up and unfair competition only require a few years in prison, but drug trafficking could lead to the death penalty.

The anti-drug team investigated and verified each clue provided by Shi Guangsheng.

"... According to Shi Guangsheng's confession, he bribed Hu Guifen to hide a large number of poppy shells in the food factory. May I ask where those things are now?"

Upon learning that Shi Guangsheng was arrested for drug-related offenses, Shen Mingzhu only wanted to say: God has his own way, and no one can escape it.

"My son found the item. He recognized it as something bad, so he took it to the garbage station and threw it away."

Finally, he added, "If necessary, I will go to school to pick up my son and answer your inquiries."

Rumors can kill, and she was worried that the anti-drug police would go directly to the school, which would have a negative impact and harm on her son.

Perhaps because of her sincere attitude, the police did not make things difficult for her. They only asked her to take Pei Ziheng to the drug enforcement team to take a statement before 6 pm.

After the police left, Shen Mingzhu immediately called Pei Yang.

"How about it?"

In the afternoon, as soon as the father and son entered the door, Shen Mingzhu came forward with concern.

Pei Yang patted her soothingly, "It's okay, I've made it clear."

Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and touched Pei Ziheng's face comfortingly, "Son, are you scared?"

Pei Ziheng shook his head, "Mom, I'm not afraid of bad people."

Although it was a false alarm, Shen Mingzhu was still very happy that Shi Guangsheng got his comeuppance.

Not long after, she heard the verdicts of Shi Guangsheng and Hu Guifen.

Shi Guangsheng was sentenced to seven years in prison for frame-up, unfair competition, and injury, while Hu Guifen was only sentenced to one year because of her good attitude towards admitting her guilt.

"The Fu family knew that it was Shi Guangsheng who hired people to rob Fu Shouchang and his brother. Now they go to the Shi family every day to make trouble and demand compensation from the Shi family."

Shen Hongmei talked about the Fu family with Shen Mingzhu with some regrets, "Aunt Liu (Hu Guifen's biological mother) was in poor health to begin with. After learning about what Aunt Hu did, she became seriously ill. I heard that she is dying. I don't know if Aunt Hu regrets it or not."

Shen Mingzhu said calmly: "She chose her own path, and she will have to bear the consequences if she regrets it."

Shen Hongmei nodded, "With Aunt Hu's bloody example, no one will dare to betray their own people in the future."

Shen Mingzhu did not comment, "Human hearts are the most vulnerable to tests. Only by taking precautions can we be invincible."

Although Hu Guifen deserved the punishment, it was also a profound lesson for her.

March 1st is a very auspicious day and a good time to start a business.

Meihao Food Co., Ltd. was officially established.

Although Shen Mingzhu is the undisputed founder, Pei Yang is the legal representative.

Pei Yang was really frightened by Shi Guangsheng's frame-up before. Under Pei Yang's strong request, Shen Mingzhu used Pei Yang's name when applying for the business license.

In this way, if anything happens to the company, Pei Yang will be the one responsible.

In Pei Yang's words, he is the oldest and tallest in the family, and he should be the one to hold up the sky even if it falls.

Pei Yang's responsibility not only moved her, but also served as a warning to her. In order to prevent the person she loved from being imprisoned, she would have to be more cautious in the future.

After the opening ceremony, the food factory officially started production.

In addition to the original spicy strips, dried tofu, potato chips and apple candies, Shen Mingzhu has also added hawthorn and tangerine peel candies, orange candies, flower cakes, egg yolk pastries and snowflake candies.

With the launch of new product categories, the workload has also increased dramatically. Four workers are definitely not enough, so we have to recruit more workers.

However, this time Shen Mingzhu did not go back to the countryside to recruit, but instead cooperated with the community Women's Federation to hire some women from poor families or single mothers.

The world has always been harsh on women, and she hopes to do her best to help more women.

Of course, she also has selfish motives.

Hiring female employees and helping them become independent and self-reliant will help establish a good and positive corporate image, which will benefit both her and the company's development.

Although it has been decided to add five new products, Shen Mingzhu plans to start with simple gummy candies.

With the launch of hawthorn and tangerine peel gummy candies and orange gummy candies, Pei Ziheng’s 6th birthday is approaching.

Last year, Pei Ziheng celebrated his birthday at Pei Wenping's home.

This year, Shen Mingzhu wanted to do something different.

"Son, how about Mommy throwing you a birthday party? You can invite your good classmates and friends to come to our house to play."

Pei Ziheng's dark eyes fell on Shen Mingzhu's slightly bulging belly, and he politely declined, "No, Mom, I don't want you to be too tired."

“It’s not hard.”

Shen Mingzhu stroked her belly with one hand and touched his little head with the other, and said with a smile: "Sister will definitely be happy to celebrate your birthday."

"All right."

In addition to planning a birthday party, Shen Mingzhu also planned to prepare a special birthday gift for her son. (End of this chapter)
