When I turned around, I saw Pei Yang leaning against the head of the bed, having fallen asleep.

Seeing the faint bluish-black color under the man's eyelids, Shen Mingzhu felt pity in her heart. She walked forward and pulled up the thin quilt to cover him, but suddenly the man opened his eyes.

When he saw it was her, the shock and vigilance in Pei Yang's eyes disappeared and turned gentle.

Shen Mingzhu put a thin blanket on him and said softly, "You take a nap. I'll call you when it's time for lunch."

I don’t know if it’s because he’s not used to his new home, but Xiao Guoguo has been very fussing these past two nights, especially around two or three in the middle of the night, when he always starts crying and disturbing everyone’s sleep.

She could rest during the day, but Pei Yang had to get up early in the morning to buy vegetables, and then go to the food factory to process reports and arrange work. After that, he had to deliver the bought vegetables back without stopping.

Pei Yang pulled her towards him, pulled her onto the bed, and pressed her into his arms, "Stay with me for a while."

Shen Mingzhu raised her eyes to look at him, and couldn't help stroking his chin with light stubble. "Why didn't your uncle come back when we got married?"

Pei Yang answered her with his eyes closed: "My uncle was useless when he was young. He did a lot of stupid things and had a bad reputation among relatives. He left Hong Kong City and never came back."

"My dad missed his youngest brother so much that he kept talking about him before he left."

Shen Mingzhu didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, this uncle is mentioned in the plot of the book.

It might be because Pei Yang stayed in the port city to celebrate the Spring Festival and then encountered a shipwreck, which resulted in him not being able to see his son Pei Ziheng before he died, which made the uncle feel guilty.

After he became rich, he returned to Fengcheng. After learning that Pei Ziheng had been abused by the original owner for a long time, he took Pei Ziheng to live in Gangcheng.

Unfortunately, this uncle passed away within a few years.

However, before his death, this uncle left Pei Ziheng a very considerable inheritance.

Originally, Pei Ziheng could have relied on this wealth to live a life of ease and comfort in Gangcheng, but because of his dark and twisted psychology, he developed an antisocial personality and returned to Fengcheng with all his wealth.

First, he burned his vicious stepmother to death, and then he followed the example of gangs in Hong Kong City and formed a criminal gang, engaging in smuggling, reselling cultural relics, and running underground casinos. It can be said that he did all kinds of evil.

When he tried to kidnap Zhou Hao, who was working as a customs anti-smuggling officer, he was caught on the spot by the police.

In fact, Pei Ziheng, the villain at that time, had already intended to die, which was why he was determined to go against the procuratorate and the court with the goal of destroying himself along with the enemy.

Fortunately, everything changed because of her arrival.

Pei Yang changed his fate of dying young, and Pei Ziheng became a good boy with upright values, and would no longer be sentenced to death.

…

After leaving Shen Mingzhu's new home, Shen Baolan walked on the street in a daze like a wandering soul, until she stood in front of her mother's house, she came to her senses.

"Hey, you little bitch, why are you back here?"

Liu Cuihua was about to go out to work in the fields when she saw her daughter standing in front of the door like a wooden stake. She was shocked.

"mom--"

Shen Baolan cried and threw herself into Liu Cuihua's arms, but was bounced away because her belly was too big. If Liu Cuihua hadn't held her back, she would have almost fallen on her butt.

"Why are you howling? Did you have another fight with your mother-in-law?"

Liu Cuihua led her daughter into the house in a bad mood and closed the gate tightly to avoid being laughed at by others.

"Mom, I regret it, woo woo woo..."

Shen Baolan cried and told Liu Cuihua that Shen Mingzhu had bought a big house and hired a nanny to take care of her during her confinement.

Shen Baolan was stunned. She covered her face and glared at Liu Cuihua, "Mom, why did you hit me?"

Liu Cuihua poked her forehead and cursed, but lowered her voice, "What did I tell you in the beginning? You didn't choose the white flour buns, but chose the disgusting dog shit. You will regret it one day in the future! You refused to listen to me, and you took the dream as reality like a madman. You insisted on marrying a son-in-law. You chose the path yourself, and you have to finish it even if you have to kneel!"

"If you don't live peacefully with your son-in-law, you will regret it in the future! Go out and see how many wives in the village envy you and want to take your place! You stupid girl who doesn't know how to appreciate the good fortune you have! I really want to beat you to death!"

After being beaten and scolded by Liu Cuihua, Shen Baolan's mind became much clearer.

On the way out of the village and back to the city, she saw some rural wives who were about her age. They were doing farm work in the fields while carrying their babies on their backs. Their faces were tanned and red, and they looked at least ten years older than her.

She felt sympathetic, but also sad.

Although she could not live as well as Shen Mingzhu, at least she married into the city. After giving birth to a son, her descendants would all be city dwellers, which was many times better than those rural wives.

But then she thought about the big house where Shen Mingzhu lived and the tall, handsome, gentle and considerate man, all of whom she had given up to him, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Although Pei Yang's words and deeds showed that she was not destined to be a lucky wife, she subconsciously refused to accept this result.

She would rather believe that she made the wrong choice.

…

After feeding her daughter and coaxing her daughter to sleep, Shen Mingzhu walked out of the room, looked around, went upstairs for a walk, and then went to the kitchen.

"Sister Yu, is Ziheng out again?"

"Yes, he said he was going to a classmate's house and would not be back for lunch."

Thinking of how many times and how long her son had been running outside recently, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but frown.

She was not against her son going out, but she felt guilty for not caring enough about him.

As a mother, she had no idea where her son had been or which classmates he was playing with during this period.

Zhengxing Trading Co.

In the general manager's office.

Pei Ziheng sat at his desk, looking down as he flipped through the report in his hand. His pretty face showed a maturity that didn't match his age.

However, Shi Yizhen, the general manager, sat opposite the desk like a guest, waiting quietly.

Finally, Pei Ziheng closed the report in his hand, looked up and asked Shi Yizhen.

"How's the situation over there?"

Shi Yizheng smiled and said, "Basically there is only an empty shell left there. All the customers and payments have been transferred to Zhengxing."

Pei Ziheng nodded, then thought of something, "Have you found out what I asked you to check for me before?"

"I found out. I treated that guy to a few drinks, and now he treats me as a brother and tells me everything. He said he was doing something for his brother-in-law. By the way, his brother-in-law is Wang Hongcheng, and he runs a cake factory, which is doing quite well."

Pei Ziheng was not surprised, and a hint of sarcasm and coldness flashed across his dark eyes.

"Think of a way to have Hong Jinbao get the list of all the big customers of Wang Hongcheng Bakery."

Shi Yizheng nodded in understanding.
