Shen Mingzhu opened the tightly wrapped cloth package and was surprised to find that it was the tofu and crispy pork that Qin Jinlian had fried that morning, both still steaming.

He got up early in the morning to do all this, just so she could take it back to the city to eat? Inexplicably, Shen Mingzhu felt a little sour in the tip of her nose.

In her previous life, her biological parents divorced when she was in the first grade of elementary school, and her custody was awarded to her father. Unfortunately, he was a scumbag. Apart from work, he spent every day drinking and clubbing outside, and his girlfriends changed one after another like cutting leeks.

After her biological mother divorced, she remarried quickly, started a new family, gave birth to a younger brother and sister, and had no time to take care of her.

She had both parents but she lived like an orphan. Therefore, when she saw the heavy bag of fried tofu and crispy pork, she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Qin Jinlian who was still sitting on the edge of the kang and sulking, Shen Mingzhu took out twenty yuan from her bag and handed it to her.

Qin Jinlian turned her face away and said, "I dare not ask for your money, or you will say that I am a wicked old woman who sucked your blood."

"Don't count it, I saved it."

As Shen Mingzhu was about to take the money back, Qin Jinlian snatched it away.

"You stupid girl, you're going to piss me off to death!"

Qin Jinlian put the money in her trouser pocket, looked outside the door, and asked Pei Ziheng in a low voice.

"How are you getting along with that kid?"

"fine."

"Bullshit! That kid has been back for a few days, but he hasn't called out to anyone once. It's obvious that he can't be tamed. Has he called out to you?"

Shen Mingzhu thought about it carefully and realized that there really wasn't one.

Pei Ziheng was usually a man of few words and rarely spoke. She had never had any expectations of him and just wanted to live together with him, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.

But Qin Jinlian thought differently. Although she let her daughter become a stepmother for money, she still hoped that her daughter could live a good life.

"You have a big head but you can't even take care of a baby. What else can you expect me to do?"

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, is Pei Ziheng an ordinary kid? He is a perverted and sinister little villain. It is not easy for her to get along with him like this, okay?

"Mom, you know how to coax a baby. Show me how to coax one."

"You wish. You should take care of your own child. I am too lazy to help you."

Qin Jinlian said this and went out.

Shen Mingzhu curled her lips and continued to pack.

Qin Jinlian left the house, looked around, and did not see Pei Ziheng, so she walked towards the door.

When I walked out of the courtyard gate, I saw Pei Ziheng playing glass marbles with several six or seven-year-old children from the village.

Qin Jinlian stood and watched for a while before speaking, "Xiao Heng, come here."

Pei Ziheng looked back at Qin Jinlian, then slowly stood up and walked over.

Qin Jinlian smiled and stuffed a red envelope into his hand, "Here, this is from grandma, use it to buy candy."

When Pei Ziheng accepted the red envelope, Qin Jinlian immediately said, "Come visit grandma and grandpa often in the future, okay?"

Pei Ziheng nodded.

"It's not enough to just nod, you have to say it with your mouth, you have to say, I understand, grandma."

Qin Jinlian deliberately emphasized the word "grandma" in an attempt to lead Pei Ziheng to call her, but Pei Ziheng refused to be fooled and kept his lips as tight as a clam shell.

Qin Jinlian tried to teach him indirectly for a long time, and her mouth was dry, but Pei Ziheng still refused to open his mouth to shout. Qin Jinlian lost her patience, waved her hand, and asked Pei Ziheng to continue playing with the children in the village, then turned around and went home angrily.

However, she did not notice that after she turned around, Pei Ziheng's eyes flashed with sarcasm.

In his previous life, after his father got into trouble, Qin Jinlian looked at him with disgust every time she came home, and even repeatedly encouraged the vicious Shen Mingzhu to throw him away.

After returning to the city, Shen Mingzhu gave Pei Wenping some of the fried tofu and fried pork she brought back, as well as some local specialties such as fresh dates.

Although it is not worth much and not a rare item, it is still a token of my thoughtfulness.

As for the matter of Shen Baolan causing the original owner to fall into the ditch, Shen Mingzhu decided, after some thought, not to confront Shen Baolan for the time being.

But one thing is certain: if Shen Baolan has bad intentions towards her, it will be revealed one day.

Shen Baolan didn't know that the evil things she had done had been exposed. She had been concentrating on studying how to make pastries during this period of time.

"Come on, come on, come and try some freshly baked egg cakes..."

Before she finished her words, the Zhou family members who were originally sitting in the living room got up and went back to their rooms. They avoided her as if Shen Baolan was serving a bomb instead of an egg cake.

Only the youngest Zhou Hao was still sitting on the sofa, confused and not understanding what was going on.

"Xiao Hao, come, eat."

Seeing the egg cake being fed to his mouth, Zhou Hao opened his mouth and took a bite.

Just as Shen Baolan was about to ask if it tasted good, she saw her stepson spit the egg cake onto the ground with a "Puh" sound.

"It's not delicious at all. It's not as delicious as what Pei Ziheng's stepmother made!"

Zhou Hao was a child who spoke without restraint, but Shen Baolan was so angry that she suffered a myocardial infarction.

She took a piece and ate it, not believing it. It was sweet and soft, with a strong aroma of eggs, but it was still far inferior to the egg cake made by Shen Mingzhu.

"Shu Huan..."

When he saw Shen Baolan carrying the egg cake into the room, Zhou Shuhuan immediately turned his back and said, "Don't bring it in. I don't want to eat it."

It’s not that the egg cake made by Shen Baolan is hard to eat, but he has been eating it every day for the past few days. He is really tired of it and is about to vomit.

Shen Baolan was puzzled. "Shen Mingzhu also learned from books. I also followed the books. Why can't I make something like Shen Mingzhu?"

Zhou Shuhuan said to her, "I think you should stop struggling and just pay the tuition and study with her."

Shen Baolan was a strong-willed person who would never admit defeat. She had always been trying to seduce Shen Mingzhu since she was little. Asking her to admit defeat to Shen Mingzhu was like stabbing her in the heart with a knife. Even if she really wanted to become a disciple, she would not look for Shen Mingzhu!

After Shen Mingzhu sent Pei Ziheng to kindergarten, she saw a group of people gathered at the gate of the staff quarters from a distance.

When she came closer and took a look, she was immediately delighted.

It turned out that Shen Baolan's mother-in-law was selling egg cakes and Chongyang cakes at a stall.

Seeing her, Ma Sufen immediately shouted, "Egg cakes, delicious and cheap egg cakes, 2.30 yuan per pound, welcome to try. We are all neighbors, we just earn our hard-earned money, unlike some people who are unscrupulous and sell at high prices, it's really unfair!"

Shen Mingzhu pretended not to hear that Ma Sufen was dissing her, so she just glanced at him and went home.

Ma Sufen secretly spat at Shen Mingzhu's back, then turned around and continued shouting.

"Hey, Baolan, is there anything good going on today? You seem to be smiling all day long."

Shen Baolan was very happy, and when asked by her co-worker, she immediately opened up and said, "It's nothing, I just opened a small stall with my mother-in-law to do some small business and earn some pocket money."

"It's pretty good. The whole family is making money, so why worry about not having a good life?"

"It's OK..."

Shen Baolan said modestly, but she thought to herself that this was just the beginning. When my man becomes a multi-millionaire in the future, then I will be able to live a real good life.

After get off work, Shen Baolan rode her bicycle very fast, wishing she could grow wings and fly back to see the results of her mother-in-law's stall.

When she arrived at the gate of the family compound, Shen Baolan was overjoyed to see that her mother-in-law's stall was gone.

The stall closed so early, everything must be sold out! She said, if Shen Mingzhu can do it, she can do it too!
