Hearing her niece getting more and more angry, Wang Huizhen couldn't hold back her anger and started scolding her.
Although Wang Xiuzhu was scolded, she was not angry at all. Instead, she was very proud. Seeing Shen Mingzhu sitting on the sofa in a daze without saying a word, she believed that Shen Mingzhu had suffered a blow and she felt so embarrassed and ashamed in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Shen Mingzhu, I usually like to joke around. I was just joking with you just now. Are you really angry?"
Shen Mingzhu came back to her senses and smiled mysteriously, "It's okay."
Wang Xiuzhu was forcibly dragged to the kitchen by Wang Huizhen.
"hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again..."
The sudden sound of music in the living room made the aunt and nephew stop.
The two turned around in surprise and saw Shen Mingzhu standing in front of the record player, her slender white fingers moving away from the needle.
Seeing Wang Xiuzhu's surprised and unbelievable expression, Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly, "Compared to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, I actually prefer this song "The Sound of Silence", the theme song of the movie "The Graduate", which is also one of my favorite movies."
Wang Xiuzhu was stunned.
Wang Huizhen reacted quickly after a brief moment of surprise. She said to Shen Mingzhu with surprise, "Oh, what a coincidence! Pei Yang also likes this song. He also brought this record back from abroad and put it here specially. He plays it every time he comes here. Birds of a feather flock together. I didn't expect you and him to have such a tacit understanding. No wonder you can be husband and wife."
Now it was Shen Mingzhu's turn to be surprised.
She had sung the song "The Sound of Silence" with her classmates at her high school graduation ceremony, and her liking for it was more due to her familiarity with it.
Unexpectedly, I picked a song that Pei Yang liked at random.
However, seeing Wang Xiuzhu's incredibly distorted face, Shen Mingzhu felt particularly happy.
I thought Wang Xiuzhu would just be quiet and not do anything weird anymore, but when she saw Shen Mingzhu pick up a shrimp and eat it directly at the dinner table, she burst out laughing.
"That's not how you eat shrimp. You have to peel the shell first. You can't eat the shell and the head. You only eat the meat on the tail."
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him, bit the shrimp tail, pushed the shrimp meat off with her tongue, and then spit the shrimp head and shell onto the table. While eating, she said, "I like to eat it this way. I'm too lazy to get my hands dirty."
Wang Xiuzhu snorted and laughed, "If you're too lazy to even peel a shrimp, what else can you do?"
Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to retort, a piece of pink shrimp tail meat suddenly appeared in the bowl.
She was flattered and looked at Pei Ziheng, who had a blank expression on his face and continued to peel shrimps with great concentration.
Looking at Wang Xiuzhu's jealous face again, Shen Mingzhu almost laughed out loud three times.
She put the shrimp into her mouth in triple slow motion, making exaggerated clapping movements as she chewed.
"Oh, it's so delicious. How can there be such delicious food in the world?"
Wang Xiuzhu glared at her, "Shen Mingzhu, you're going too far! Pei Yang married you to let you stay home and take care of the children. Ziheng is only this young, and you actually asked him to help you peel shrimps. Do you know that shrimp shells can easily scratch your fingers?"
"I did it of my own free will. If you are envious, you can ask your son to help you peel shrimp in the future."
Pei Ziheng innocently and seriously stabbed Wang Xiuzhu in the heart, then lowered his head to peel shrimps.
Wang Xiuzhu was so angry that she didn't even eat her meal. She threw down her chopsticks, ran back to her room, and slammed the door loudly.
She also thanked Wang Xiuzhu for starting the trouble, otherwise she would not have been able to enjoy the shrimp-peeling service of her rebellious son, no, her stepson.
Unfortunately, after Wang Xiuzhu ran away in anger, Pei Ziheng returned to his rebellious nature and ate all the shrimps he peeled himself, not giving any to her.
Not cute at all! After dinner, Shen Mingzhu ignored Wang Huizhen's objection and insisted on helping her clean up the dishes and the kitchen. She also helped take the garbage downstairs before leaving.
The more Shen Mingzhu acted well-educated and well-mannered, the more Wang Xiuzhu's lack of education and manners was highlighted.
After sending Shen Mingzhu and her son away, Wang Huizhen went to her niece's room angrily and scolded Wang Xiuzhu severely.
"You still look down on Shen Mingzhu because she's from the countryside. I don't think you have even half the cultivation she has!"
Wang Xiuzhu was already depressed, and after being scolded by Wang Huizhen, she felt even more aggrieved.
"Am I your biological nephew or is Shen Mingzhu your biological nephew? Why are you still speaking for her?!"
Wang Huizhen was equally angry, "I am on the side of reason, not my relatives! Look at how you look now, you are sarcastic and mean, you don't look like a college student at all, I am ashamed for you!"
Wang Xiuzhu burst into tears. "Can't you see that she was pretending? She obviously knows how to use the record player, but she pretends not to. She is obviously teasing me on purpose and wants to make me embarrassed. She is a scheming woman who even wants to use a four-year-old child. I admit that I underestimated my enemy, but I will not admit defeat. I don't believe that I, a university student from the city, can't beat a rural woman!"

Wang Huizhen was almost furious.
Her niece is crazy!
——
The night was as blue as water, and the moon hung in the sky like a white jade plate. The bright moonlight sprinkled down gently, illuminating the shadows of the mother and son, one in front and one behind.
Shen Mingzhu looked at her stepson who was walking in front of her with clattering feet, and suddenly called out.
"Pei Ziheng."
Pei Ziheng turned around to look at her, the word "what" clearly written on her delicate and pretty face.
Shen Mingzhu smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you for defending me in front of outsiders, and thank you for peeling the shrimp for me."
I have never seen a woman more stupid than you. You were bullied by your parents when you returned to your parents' home. You were bullied by Zhou Hao's stepmother in the staff quarters. You are still bullied here. You are bullied wherever you go. I really don't know how you grew up.
Pei Ziheng silently complained in his heart.
Shen Mingzhu didn't know what her son was thinking. She walked up to him and took his little paw. She continued happily, "In the future, you must protect me like you did today, because we are a family. We prosper together and suffer together. If someone bullies you, I will definitely protect you with all my strength."
You'd better keep your word, hum! Pei Ziheng thought secretly.
Early the next morning, Shen Mingzhu got up and prepared to go to the public bathroom to wash up. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wang Xiuzhu standing outside. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the ghost was still there.
Wang Xiuzhu got straight to the point, "I'm here to see Pei Ziheng today."
