Zhou Shuhuan knew about this when he heard Pei Yang and Pei Wenping chatting in the hospital on the night Shen Mingzhu had an attack.

He didn't tell anyone about this matter. Firstly, it was because of his personality and he didn't like to talk about other people's family affairs. Secondly, he still felt a little uncomfortable about his brother buying a new house.

The two have been good brothers since childhood, but Pei Yang didn't say a word about such a big thing as buying a house.

At the same time, he also felt a little jealous and regretful.

It was clear that before the blind date, he had his eyes on Shen Mingzhu, but because of his vanity and competitiveness, he changed his mind and chose Shen Baolan.

If he married Shen Mingzhu, he might be the one who opened the factory and bought the big house.

It was because of this unspeakable dark psychology that Zhou Shuhuan kept silent about Pei Yang buying a big house.

Now that he had said it out loud, he felt relieved when he saw the shock and regret on his parents' faces and the jealousy on his daughter-in-law's face.

…

Shen Baolan went to great lengths and finally found out where Shen Mingzhu's new home was.

But she only knew that it was on this street and didn't know the specific house number.

Looking at the endless street of various small Western-style buildings, Shen Baolan's heart felt as bitter as if it were soaked in a kimchi jar.

It’s only been a short time since Shen Mingzhu got married into the city, but she already lives in such a big house.

Not long after, Pei Yang passed by her on a bicycle.

She opened her mouth to shout, but Pei Yang rode too fast and he quickly covered a long distance like the wind.

She subconsciously chased in the direction Pei Yang rode away.

After chasing for about one or two hundred meters, I saw Pei Yang stopped in front of an old red brick house.

The old house has two floors and is surrounded by a two-meter-high wall. Only the terrace on the second floor and the black-tiled roof can be seen.

When she approached, Pei Yang had already pushed his bicycle into the yard. Through the gate that had not been closed in time, she saw Shen Mingzhu sitting in the yard holding her child. Next to her sat an aunt in her forties who was peeling potatoes and talking to Shen Mingzhu. They were having a very enjoyable chat.

Pei Yang parked his bicycle and walked up to Shen Mingzhu. He bent down to tease the child in Shen Mingzhu's arms. There was a tenderness on his tough and handsome face that she had never seen before.

The woman who was peeling potatoes put down her work and carried the things in the basket on the back of the bicycle into the house.

Shen Baolan was struck by lightning when she saw this scene.

How could this happen? She had clearly snatched away Shen Mingzhu's man and her good life, but why was Shen Mingzhu still living in a big house, hiring a nanny, and living a good life, just like in her dream? "Shen Mingzhu!"

Seeing Shen Baolan standing outside the courtyard gate at some point, Shen Mingzhu frowned and subconsciously looked at Pei Yang.

Pei Yang quickly shook his head, denying that he was the one who told Shen Baolan the address.

When people in the housing estate asked him about it, he only gave a rough location but didn't tell them the house number.

Just as the couple was looking at each other, Shen Baolan had already walked in with a bulging belly.

From the outside, the house looks quite old, but once you enter you will find that it has been kept warm and unique, especially the flowers and plants planted on both sides, which are blooming in all colors. No woman would not like to live in such a house.

"Shen Baolan, what are you doing here?" Shen Mingzhu stepped forward to block the other person's steps.

Looking at Shen Mingzhu's radiant face and her slim figure which had not changed at all due to childbirth, Shen Baolan felt a strong sense of jealousy.

"When did you buy this house?"

"It's none of your business. Get out. You are not welcome here."

Pei Yang walked to his wife and ordered Shen Baolan, who was pregnant, to leave. "Shuhuan's wife, please go back. My wife is in confinement after childbirth and it is not convenient for her to see outsiders."

When Shen Baolan saw Pei Yang protecting Shen Mingzhu, tears suddenly flowed down her face.

"Pei Yang, the person you were originally going to marry was me, and I should be your wife..."

Pei Yang was probably also anxious, and he suddenly shouted loudly, which scared Shen Mingzhu.

Little Guoguo was crying loudly with his mouth wide open.

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to pay any more attention to Shen Baolan. She turned around and went back to the living room while coaxing her daughter.

Pei Yang watched the mother and daughter go home with an apologetic look on his face. When he turned back, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold frost.

Pei Yang has a sturdy build, deep facial features, and he has gotten a bit tanned recently, so he looks quite scary when he is angry.

Shen Baolan defended herself guiltily: "What I said is true. I was attracted to you at first, but I..."

Perhaps because she was afraid Pei Yang wouldn't believe her, Shen Baolan didn't dare to tell him that she had dreamed about the future.

"I met a fortune teller who said you have a short life and whoever marries you will become a widow, so I..."

"That man is right."

Shen Baolan was stunned. Just as she was about to ask what this meant, she heard Pei Yang say in an emotionless voice: "If I marry you, even if I don't die in the Tai'an shipwreck, I will die in the sea search and rescue later."

"Shen Baolan, if I had really married you, I would have died a long time ago. If you had really married me, you would be a widow now."

It was like a bolt from the blue, making Shen Baolan's head buzz.

What's the meaning?!

Did it mean that she was born with a bad fate and would be unlucky no matter who she married? This realization was even more unacceptable to her than Shen Mingzhu buying a big house! When Shen Baolan came to her senses, she had been driven out of Shen Mingzhu's new home, and the black painted wooden door slammed shut in front of her.

As soon as he bolted the door, Pei Yang ran back home.

Xiao Guoguo was tired of crying and was feeding. In the quiet bedroom, the only sound could be heard: the sound of her sucking milk.

Looking at the man squatting in front of her like a big golden retriever, Shen Mingzhu felt inexplicably upset.

Because just now, she suddenly thought of a guess.

Shen Baolan had foreseen that Pei Yang would die early, so she deliberately designed the original owner to fall into the water and targeted Zhou Shuhuan in advance.

If Shen Baolan hadn't predicted the future, wouldn't she have married Pei Yang? Although this was just a possibility, it still made her unhappy.

Or in other words, feeling jealous.

"Shen Baolan is gone?"

Perhaps he heard the unhappiness in her tone, Pei Yang stood up to close the door, then returned to her and continued squatting.

"Wife, there is something I have never told you. I have a younger uncle who went to Hong Kong when I was very young. The year we got married, I received a call from my younger uncle on my way back from the sea. He was quite ill, and I went to see him when the ship passed by Hong Kong."

"My uncle didn't have a family in Hong Kong, nor did he have many friends. He was very happy to see me and tried his best to keep me in Hong Kong for the Spring Festival. If I hadn't wanted to come back to see you and the children, I might have stayed in Hong Kong for the Spring Festival that year."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned.

If Pei Yang had stayed in the port city that year, his seaman's certificate would not have been lost, and he would not have missed the voyage of the Tai'an.

Pei Yang placed his big palm on the back of her hand holding her daughter, his eyes were very gentle, "If I hadn't married you, I would have died long ago."

Shen Mingzhu's throat choked.

Pei Yang looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "Do you remember what I told you when we bought the house? Our family is only possible because of you. Without you, I would have no future with other women, let alone the happiness we have now."

"Wife, you are irreplaceable to me."

The unhappiness and depression in Shen Mingzhu's heart caused by Shen Baolan's words were gradually smoothed out and soothed by the man's words.
