In addition to ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin, there is also a box of bird's nest.

When Pei Yang saw what Shen Mingzhu had prepared, there was a mixture of surprise and gratitude on his deep and handsome face.

The ginseng and bird's nest were sent by Zhao Dafa after the fruit was born. They were given to his wife for health supplement. His wife had never been willing to eat them, but today she gave them to her sister.

He pulled the busy Shen Mingzhu into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Thank you, my wife. It is a blessing for our Pei family to marry such a virtuous daughter-in-law like you."

Shen Mingzhu leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "From my pregnancy to delivery, and then to confinement, over the past year or so, Big Sister has helped us so much inside and outside. These things are nothing. Just send the things over after you finish your meal. Go early and come back early."

"Well, I'll listen to you."

After finishing his meal, Pei Yang went out with his things.

Although he was mentally prepared, Pei Yang still felt distressed and annoyed when he saw Pei Wenping.

Ever since Pei Yang could remember, his sister Pei Wenping had always been a quick and capable woman, working quickly and efficiently, and exuding a sense of efficiency.

He had never seen Pei Wenping so thin and haggard, like a flower about to wither.

"Sister, why have you lost so much weight? Are you feeling unwell?"

Pei Yang didn't care what the Chen family might think and asked directly. His tone was even a little aggressive, expressing his dissatisfaction with the Chen family.

His sister has been married to the Chen family for so many years and has made many contributions and efforts. Even if the Chen family does not treat his sister as their own daughter, they should at least give her due care.

Chen's mother looked at her daughter-in-law's face and laughed dryly, "Pei Yang, don't worry too much. Wen Ping has a poor appetite recently and eats less, so she has lost some weight. I asked your uncle to go to the countryside to buy two old hens these two days, and I plan to stew them for Wen Ping to nourish her body."

Hearing this, Pei Yang placed the supplements in front of Chen's mother and said, "Aunt Jiang, my wife asked me to bring these to my sister to replenish her body. Thank you for your help."

"Well, okay, I'll accept it on behalf of Wenping. You two siblings can have a good chat. I'll go boil some water and make tea for you."

After saying that, Chen's mother picked up her things and went to the kitchen.

Pei Yang looked around and asked, "Where's my brother-in-law?"

"I haven't gone home yet."

Pei Yang wanted to continue asking, but Pei Wenping didn't want to say more and stood up to see him off. "I'm fine. It's so cold. You should go back early. Thank Mingzhu for me. I'll go back to see you guys when it's free."

Pei Yang really wanted to take Pei Wenping outside to talk, but it was freezing cold outside and he was worried that she would catch a cold, so he had to hold his breath and go back first.

When they got home and told Shen Mingzhu about the situation, they both realized that something was wrong.

"My sister has always been the one taking care of me since I was little. She probably doesn't want to cause trouble for us, so she keeps things to herself and won't speak out easily."

Shen Mingzhu had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't say anything.

Even if it was true as she guessed, Pei Wenping should have said it herself so that they could help.

After much thought, Shen Mingzhu decided to invite Pei Wenping and Chen Yi to her home for dinner.

As for the name, just consider it as celebrating Shen Chaobei’s birthday.

Although, Shen Chaobei’s birthday had just passed half a month ago.

Shen Chaobei should thank her for celebrating his birthday twice a year.

Early the next morning, Shen Mingzhu called Pei Wenping and invited her and Chen Yi to come to her house for dinner in the evening.

Pei Wenping didn't refuse, but it was difficult for her to refuse.

Shen Chaobei is her brother-in-law and he specially invited her. As the elder sister-in-law, it would be unreasonable for her not to say yes.

As for Chen Yi, "He has been busy with his manuscripts recently, and I am not sure if he has time to come back."

Shen Mingzhu: "It's okay. If my brother-in-law can't come, you can bring Xiaolu and Xiaochao back with you. I'll make birthday cakes for them."

"good."

In the evening, Du Juan brought Daya home to help.

"Sister, brother-in-law, please sit for a while. The dishes are almost ready. We can start eating when Pei Yang and my brother come back." Shen Mingzhu greeted the family of four warmly.

"I'll help you."

Pei Wenping was used to working hard, so she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen, but was stopped by Shen Mingzhu.

"No need. It's rare for Xiaolu and Xiaochao to come here. Big sister, why don't you take them upstairs to play with Ziheng and Guoguo for a while."

"Okay."

Pei Wenping only has Pei Yang as her younger brother, and secretly, she hopes that the children of the two families can spend more time together and take care of each other when they grow up.

Walking to the kitchen door, Shen Mingzhu looked back towards the living room and found that Pei Wenping had led the twin brother and sister directly upstairs, leaving Chen Yi standing alone in the living room, feeling awkward.

Around 7:30, Pei Yang and Shen Chaobei came back one after another.

After the failure of his noodle shop business, Shen Chaobei wanted to go back to work at the food factory, but Shen Mingzhu sent him to learn driving from Lao Zhu.

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

As the food factory develops in the future, it will definitely need to buy trucks. Instead of recruiting drivers from outside, it is better to train them ourselves.

…

All the dishes on the table were prepared by Shen Mingzhu, including five meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, as well as a large pot of angelica and black chicken soup.

Shen Chaobei thought that Shen Mingzhu was holding a birthday party specially for him and was deeply moved. However, he didn't know that Shen Mingzhu had other intentions.

During the meal, Shen Mingzhu enthusiastically invited everyone to eat and drink, but secretly kept a close eye on Pei Wenping and Chen Yi.

On several occasions, Chen Yi picked up Pei Wenping's favorite dishes, and Pei Wenping put them into the twins' bowls.

Perhaps in the eyes of a rough man like Shen Chaobei, Pei Wenping's behavior is showing her love for her children, as she always wants to give her children any delicious food.

But Shen Mingzhu knew that Pei Wenping was silently resisting Chen Yi.

After dinner, the men cleaned up the dishes together, the children went upstairs to play, and Du Juan and Pei Wenping went to the bedroom to look at Shen Mingzhu's new handbag.

Of course, looking at the purse was just an excuse. Shen Mingzhu just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Pei Wenping alone.

After looking at the bag, Du Juan tactfully found an excuse to leave and even kindly helped to close the door.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Mingzhu got straight to the point, "Sister, are you having a conflict with your brother-in-law? Just now when we were having dinner, I saw that your brother-in-law was trying to please you."

I don’t know if it was because she had been suppressing it for too long or because her pain was touched, but Pei Wenping’s eyes turned red and tears fell down.

Shen Mingzhu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and moved the purse aside.

This house could be exchanged for a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, but if you waste your tears, it might become a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

"Big sister, ever since I married into the Pei family, I have remembered all your kindness to me, and I have always treated you as my own sister. Pei Yang and I are both from your mother's family, and we will never stand by and watch you get bullied and wronged."

Pei Wenping was reluctant to speak at first, but only opened her mouth after Shen Mingzhu persuaded her.

It was almost as Shen Mingzhu guessed, Chen Yi cheated on her.

It was during the time when Shen Mingzhu gave birth to Guoguo.

This made it difficult for Shen Mingzhu not to feel guilty and uneasy. During that time, Pei Wenping was busy taking care of her and visiting her every few days, so she might have neglected her husband.

As if she had guessed Shen Mingzhu's thoughts, Pei Wenping comforted her with a light smile: "Don't worry, it's just that he can't control his pants, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"He slept next to me at night and had an affair with that woman during the day. If no one had reminded me, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark!"

Pei Wenping gritted her teeth when she said the last sentence.
