Pei Yang looked at her, his deep eyes filled with a relaxed smile because he found her, "I was afraid you were hiding somewhere and crying quietly."

Pei Yang had a smile on his face and his tone was relaxed and casual, but Shen Mingzhu could feel his deep love.

He was really worried about her.

"What's there to cry about? I deserve it. I'm always too kind and never learn my lesson."

After hearing her self-mockery, Pei Yang's smile faded and his expression became serious, "Wife, you did nothing wrong. God sees whether a person does good or evil. Otherwise, how could Goudan be safe and sound after falling from such a high tree trunk?"

"Everyone says that Goudan is lucky, but I think there must be a divine will in all things. Even the heavens cannot bear to let you down."

"The village chief and the villagers are all very clear-sighted. No one blames you. This is just an accident. Even if they didn't climb the tree today, the kids would climb the tree tomorrow. As long as they climb trees, such dangers and accidents are inevitable."

After Goudan fell from the tree, Shen Mingzhu appeared strong and calm on the surface, but in fact she was scared, depressed and felt aggrieved.

She just wanted to help the children to the best of her ability.

But every time it seems like I end up making things worse and causing trouble.

She even secretly reflected and introspected, wondering if keeping to herself was the only way to survive.

But at this moment, the man's words made her suddenly enlightened and realized that her efforts were meaningful. At least, the people around her and the village chief recognized and agreed with her.

At this time, Pei Ziheng came running over from a distance.

"Mother!"

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere."

Looking at her son who was panting, his little face flushed from running, his big, dark and bright eyes filled with worry and concern, the little unhappiness that was left in Shen Mingzhu's heart was completely soothed.

"I went to the village head's house and registered the brothers and sisters who helped pick sour dates so that I can buy them pencils and exercise books when I return to the city."

Pei Ziheng stretched out his little claws and grasped her hand tightly, but his tone was not at all blaming, "Mom, I'm glad you're okay. I was worried that you would be unhappy, so I wanted to comfort you."

"I was a little unhappy at first, but when I saw how worried and concerned you were about me, all my unhappiness disappeared."

The father and son were amused by her few words, and the family of three went back to the Shen family.

When they were almost at the door of Shen's house, they met Shen Chaobei who came out to look for them.

Shen Xiangnan brought his bride over to toast, but the family of three were not there.

When she returned to her seat, Jia Yuemei enthusiastically poured her wine.

"Little sister, thank you for arranging a job for me, so that I can go to the city to earn money, and for the bracelet and wedding candy you gave me. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but this is the first time I've worn a silver bracelet in my life."

"Little sister, don't worry. I'm married to Xiangnan and will be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family from now on. I will treat my parents as my own parents."

No matter whether it is false or insincere, at least the words are beautiful and make people feel comfortable when they hear them.

Shen Mingzhu also responded with auspicious blessings.

After the banquet, Shen Mingzhu wanted to go back to the city and hug her daughter as soon as possible.

During the National Day holidays, we had banquets outside almost every day, and little Guoguo was looked after by Sister Yu and her elder sister-in-law Pei Wenping.

Shen Mingzhu planned to take the sour dates she picked back with her.

While we were cleaning up, many villagers and relatives came over, all of them expressing their desire to work in the food factory and earn money.

They were either too old or illiterate, but in order not to offend anyone, she did not refuse directly. Instead, she asked Du Juan to write down their personal information one by one with paper and pen, and said that she would notify them if necessary in the future.

Although Shen Mingzhu did not say that she would recruit them, registering them undoubtedly gave them more hope and expectation. Everyone was in high spirits, gathering in groups of three or four to chat, imagining the beautiful days of going to the city to work and earn a lot of money in the future.

After lunch, Shen Baolan held her son in her arms and basked in the sun outside the house, drying off the jaundice on her son's body.

Seeing several wives from the village gathered together chatting, she couldn't help but go over out of curiosity because of her gossipy nature.

As soon as I got closer, I heard everyone praising Shen Mingzhu for being a very capable person. Her factory was booming and she was helping the villagers get rich. They all wanted to work in Shen Mingzhu's factory.

Shen Baolan felt very sad when she heard this.

She returned to her house with her son in her arms, sat on a small bamboo chair with a backrest, and stared blankly at the three-acre field of crops in front of the house. Her heart was filled with melancholy and frustration.

Since she was little, she had always been better than Shen Mingzhu. Why did their situations turn upside down after she got married? She had obviously followed God's warning and married Zhou Shuhuan as she wished. She should have been a rich wife in the future, but Shen Mingzhu became a big boss and lived a good life instead.

Is it really as Pei Yang said, that she was born to be a widow and whoever she marries will be unlucky?

But Shen Mingzhu was born with a good fate. No matter who she married, she was destined to be rich and superior in this life, right?

Shen Baolan felt so upset that she didn't even care about her son crying.

…

On the way back to the city, Pei Yang couldn't hold back his curiosity and talked to Shen Mingzhu about the incident when he fell into the water during the blind date.

"If you hadn't fallen into the water that day and had come to the blind date on time, who would you choose between me and Shuhuan?"

Although Pei Yang believed that he was better than Zhou Shuhuan in every aspect and his wife would definitely choose him, he inevitably became nervous and even his breathing slowed down.

He couldn't tell what he was nervous about or what he cared about.

No matter who Shen Mingzhu wanted to choose at that time, she is now his wife and they have a lovely daughter.

But for reasons he couldn't explain, he felt uncomfortable at the thought that Shen Mingzhu might marry his brother Zhou Shuhuan.

“No one.”

"Why?"

Shen Mingzhu squinted at him in anger, "I'm young and beautiful, why do I have to be someone's stepmother?"

Hearing her words, the faces of both the father and the son darkened in unison, their eyes filled with resentment and hurt.

Shen Mingzhu wanted to say something, but the bus pulled into the station at this moment. Passengers picked up their luggage and got off the bus at the conductor's reminder.

Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to get up and take her son out of the car, while Pei Yang was responsible for carrying a sack of sour dates brought back from Shenjiagou.

Obviously affected by her words "I don't want to be someone's stepmother", the father and son were in extremely low spirits on the way home, looking as pitiful as eggplants hit by frost.

Seeing this, she inexplicably developed a sense of guilt in her heart, as if she was a sinner who abandoned her husband and children.

"Although I don't want to be a stepmother, but..."

Hearing her words, the father and son looked at her like clockwork robots, their eyes eagerly, like dogs craving for meat and bones.
