The roads were slippery on a snowy day, and she originally didn't agree to let her daughter-in-law go out, fearing that she would slip or catch a cold. But her daughter-in-law insisted that she was bored at home and wanted to go out and talk to someone.

As a result, nothing happened to the daughter-in-law when she went out, but the eldest grandson was lost!

Ma Sufen stared at Shen Baolan, her eyes as sharp as a knife, "Tell me, did you lose Xiao Hao on purpose?"

Shen Baolan was anxious and angry, and cried out in injustice, "Mom, how could I do such a thing? You know how I treat Xiaohao normally."

Zhou Shuhuan didn't think that Shen Baolan was such a vicious person. Besides, his son ran out of the classroom on his own, so he spoke up and said a few good words on her behalf.

After Zhou Shuhuan's persuasion, Ma Sufen no longer expressed her doubts, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Baolan was still full of dissatisfaction and scrutiny.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are difficult to eradicate.

Shen Baolan was furious and turned to point the finger at Shen Mingzhu, "It's you! You taught Pei Ziheng to say that? Shen Mingzhu, I have such a deep hatred and grudge against you. You want to ruin my reputation by saying such nonsense. You don't want me to live. How can you be so cruel..."

Shen Mingzhu was speechless and felt wronged, but she did not speak to defend herself.

She is Pei Ziheng's stepmother and guardian, and should be responsible for all of Pei Ziheng's words and deeds.

Thinking about this, she apologized to Ma Sufen and Zhou Shuhuan, "Ziheng is young and talks nonsense. Aunt Ma, Zhou Shuhuan, don't take it to heart. Zhou Hao must have gone out to play somewhere, so don't be too anxious..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Baolan rudely, "It's not your child who is lost, but you are talking without any pain! Shen Mingzhu! If Xiaohao is found, it's fine. If not, your Pei family will be responsible!"

Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Baolan coldly, "It seems to me that you hope Zhou Hao can't be found."

Shen Baolan screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Stop talking nonsense. Today's incident is closely related to your Pei Ziheng. Let Pei Ziheng speak for himself. What did he do to my Xiaohao? I left the classroom with him and he disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

After hearing what Shen Baolan said, Ma Sufen and Zhou Shuhuan immediately looked at Pei Ziheng.

Ma Sufen was about to pull Pei Ziheng over, but Shen Mingzhu moved even faster and put Pei Ziheng behind her.

"Pei Yang's family, please move aside. I have something to ask Pei Ziheng!"

"You can ask questions, but don't touch me. Your grandson is a treasure, and my Pei Ziheng is also a treasure. If anyone hurts him in the slightest, I will fight him to the death no matter who he is!"

"Su Fen, let's talk nicely. I know you're worried about losing your grandson, but this isn't Pei Yang's wife's fault. If you don't have the time to come and make a scene, you might as well look for him. Maybe you'll find him."

"That's right. Pei Ziheng is just a little boy. What can he understand?"

Shen Mingzhu had a strong attitude, and the neighbors who were watching the fun downstairs were all on Shen Mingzhu's side, so Ma Sufen didn't dare to act tough anymore.

At this time, Pei Ziheng took the initiative to talk about his conversation with Zhou Hao outside the classroom.

"... Zhou Hao wanted my Rubik's Cube, but I didn't give it to him. Then I told him that he would soon have a little brother and he would no longer be the most favored one in the family. He turned around and ran away after hearing that."

Zhou Shuhuan asked hurriedly, "Where did you go?"

Pei Ziheng shook his head and said, "I went to the bathroom, and when I came out I didn't see Zhou Hao."

Shen Baolan was so angry that she yelled at Pei Ziheng, "Why did you say that to him? What are you thinking? You are so young and you are already gossiping. Shen Mingzhu, you are really good, teaching your child to say these things!"

Pei Ziheng shrank back pretending to be afraid, his face full of grievance and confusion, "Aunt Mingzhu didn't teach me that, I guessed it. It was you who said in the classroom that you like to eat sour food, and you must be pregnant with a boy. You also said that Grandma Ma and Uncle Zhou are looking forward to the birth of a little brother."

Shen Baolan was stunned.

She did say such things, but she said them only to show off to Shen Mingzhu and other mothers, so there was an element of exaggeration in her words.

She never expected that Pei Ziheng actually heard it and went to tell Zhou Hao about it.

Now Barbie is Q.

Shen Baolan looked at her mother-in-law feeling guilty and aggrieved. Sure enough, the latter's eyes were so sharp that she seemed to want to poke two holes in her face.

Shen Mingzhu felt a sense of relief that "this identity is clear".

You see, it was you, Shen Baolan, who spoke without restraint outside, and the child heard it. Although the child is young, he also has his own little thoughts.

Your stepson was driven away by you, his stepmother.

At this time, someone came up from upstairs and told them that Zhou Hao had been found.

The Zhou family immediately ran downstairs.

The neighbors who came to watch the fun also went back home.

Shen Mingzhu closed the door and turned to look at Pei Ziheng.

"Who taught you?"

Pei Ziheng blinked, not sure whether Shen Mingzhu was asking about English or something else, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Once the stepmother has her own biological child, she no longer loves her stepchild and even wants to deliberately abandon the stepchild so that she can only raise her own biological child."

"Who taught you these words? Huh?"

Pei Ziheng replied, "I heard it from others."

"Who said that?"

"They all say that stepmothers are two-faced. They act virtuous and hypocritical in front of outsiders, but they may torture their stepsons behind their backs."

The more Shen Mingzhu listened, the tighter her brows frowned. "Nonsense! People who say this to you have bad intentions. They have shit in their hearts, and they think everyone else is shit too!"

"Will you do as they say?"

Looking at her stepson's dark and bright pupils, Shen Mingzhu inexplicably had the illusion that she was being stared at by an evil spirit from hell, and her back went numb.

She looked at her stepson seriously and said, "I will never bully the weak under any circumstances. I may not be a qualified stepmother, but I can promise that I will never hurt you."

"oh."

You'd better do it, otherwise, he won't be able to get well, but he will think of a way to punish her.

Pei Ziheng thought expressionlessly.

——

At this time, the Zhou family was arguing over Zhou Hao's departure.

It turned out that Zhou Hao was stimulated by Pei Ziheng's words and ran to his grandmother's house alone to find his biological mother.

Thanks to Zhou Hao's good memory, the distance from the kindergarten to Zhou Shuhuan's ex-wife's house is two kilometers, which requires walking four blocks, but Zhou Hao did not get lost or run away.

Although the ex-wife sent Zhou Hao back, she scolded Zhou Shuhuan and the Zhou family.

Before leaving, the ex-wife glanced at Shen Baolan's belly and said that if the Zhou family no longer cared about their eldest grandson because they had a younger grandson, she could just take back the custody of Zhou Hao.

After Zhou Shuhuan's ex-wife left, Ma Sufen pointed at Shen Baolan's nose and cursed her. Shen Baolan, relying on the fact that she was pregnant, argued with Ma Sufen unwillingly and even threatened to go back to her parents' home. It was a New Year's Day, but the Zhou family was in chaos, and the whole family in the family compound was filled with jokes and excitement.

Although Zhou Hao returned home safely, Shen Baolan's life was no longer peaceful.
