Liang's mother was sitting on the porch knitting. When she saw him coming back, she quickly put down her work and went to greet him, "Why are you so late? Who did you go out to eat with? Didn't you drink?"

Liang Ke'an was tired, hungry and thirsty, and he became furious when he heard this.

"What are you eating? My bike was damaged by someone, so I pushed it back here."

Liang's mother's face showed heartache and anger, and she bent down to see what was wrong with the bicycle.

"Who is so wicked?"

"Shen Hongmei."

Liang's mother was stunned, and then her face turned angry. "This little bitch came to you? She still has evil intentions towards you? Ke'an, you have to stay awake and don't let her fool you. Our Liang family has a clean reputation and we won't let a woman like her enter the family."

The small courtyard was not soundproof, and Liang Ke'an's two sisters-in-law came out of their rooms when they heard the noise.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Liang family: "Ke'an, what did Shen Hongmei say to you?"

Liang Ke'an was too embarrassed to let his family know that he was the one who took the initiative to seek reconciliation from Shen Hongmei, but was humiliated by her in the end. He deliberately said vaguely: "She said she found a partner."

Liang's eldest sister-in-law: "What kind of partner did she find?"

Liang's second sister-in-law: "He is definitely not as good as our Ke'an."

Liang's mother found this pleasing to the ear. "She is old and won't be able to get married if she doesn't get married. Our Ke'an is different from her."

Liang Ke'an parked the car, strode to the water tank, scooped half a bucket of cold water into his stomach, and after satisfying his hunger and thirst, he said sourly: "She is really capable. She found a rich old man, bought her a pager, and deliberately showed off in front of me."

Liang's mother was full of disdain, "She is only worthy of marrying an old man."

The two sisters-in-law of the Liang family looked at each other, and envy was seen in each other's eyes.

Only married housewives like them can deeply understand that money is a good thing.

Love and affection are nothing in front of money.

There are so many families like theirs in the alley, who have fallen out over a few cents and never talk to each other again.

It’s not all because of poverty.

If they were given another chance to choose, they would also want to find someone rich.

But no matter what they thought, the two sisters-in-law both echoed in saying bad things about Shen Hongmei.

Liang's mother holds the financial power of the family. If they want to live a good life, they have to please her.

Liang Ke'an finally felt better after hearing that everyone in his family was united in denouncing Shen Hongmei.

What's so great about being rich? Give him a few years and he will be able to make a name for himself.

…

Everything was quiet and a half moon was hanging outside the window.

Shen Hongmei lay on her side on the bed, looking at the pager in her hand in the faint moonlight.

Although the item had been in her hands for several days, she had been worrying about it so much that the pager was like a hot potato in her hands, which hurt when she held it.

This was the first time she saw it as a real gift.

It’s really beautiful.

I have never received such a good gift in my life.

Shen Hongmei's eyes felt a little sore, but her heart was full and could not hold anything else.

It was past twelve o'clock before she reluctantly stuffed the pager under her pillow and closed her eyes to rest.

The next day, Shen Hongmei woke up at daybreak.

Normally she always complains that she doesn't get enough sleep, but today she feels full of energy and even the air outside the window feels especially fresh.

Get dressed, put on your favorite skirt, grab your bag and go to work.

When I arrived at the gate of the food factory, I met Shen Mingzhu who was also working there.

Shen Mingzhu looked her up and down and praised: "Not bad, very pretty."

Shen Hongmei's cheeks were slightly red. "I just wore it casually. I bought this skirt this year and haven't worn it many times. If I don't wear it now, I won't be able to wear it anymore."

When October comes and the weather gets cooler, we have to wear autumn clothes.

Shen Mingzhu teased: "I just praised you once, but you gave me a long explanation. Don't you think that's a bit too obvious?"

Shen Hongmei looked around and said shyly, "I'll go to your office and talk to you later."

"Okay."

Not long after the morning meeting ended, Shen Hongmei came to her office with documents.

"Boss Shen, I've figured it out. I want to give it a try with Brother Zhao."

Shen Ming picked up the pen and signed the document quickly while looking at her, "It's good that you have thought it through. We are just dating, not going to fight on the battlefield. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Shen Hongmei smiled shyly, "I'll listen to you."

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

After processing the documents, Shen Mingzhu stood up and walked to Shen Hongmei, encouraging her earnestly: "Be brave. Instead of waiting for happiness to come, you might as well fight for it yourself. You are my candidate for the future vice president. You are no worse than anyone else."

Shen Hongmei nodded heavily with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Shen, thank you! I always feel that God is very kind to me, letting me have a mentor and helpful friend like you. Without you, I can't imagine how bad my life would be."

"I've said before, if you bloom, butterflies will come to you. Before you meet the right person, love yourself well and make yourself excellent. Only when you love money and yourself can you be successful."

"Um!"

…

This year, without Sun Feifei's interference, mooncake sales reached a new high, exceeding 100,000.

Shen Mingzhu was not too surprised by this result, but only felt certainty and confidence as expected.

After finishing her work at the factory, Shen Mingzhu drove to Shen Ji to inspect the work.

Feng Huiying is on duty at Tianxiangyin store today.

While accompanying her to check the hygiene in the store, Feng Huiying gossiped with her about Cui Lianying.

Pei Ke was a generous man and had some money, so he bought a lot of things for Cui Lianying.

Pagers, jewelry, clothes, shoes, bags, etc.

Outsiders say that Cui Lianying is lucky to have met a good man, but Feng Huiying is a little worried.

This matchmaking was arranged by her, and Cui Lianying was afraid that Shen Mingzhu would be unhappy about spending Pei Ke's money like this.

"This is normal. You are almost a hundred years old. You can't be like a young man and rely on words to fall in love. You have to pay for it. In life, you can't live without money as a foundation."

After hearing what Shen Mingzhu said, Feng Huiying felt relieved.

After the inspection, Shen Mingzhu was about to go to another store. When she was leaving, she suddenly remembered that Shen Xiangnan had opened a bun shop for Jia Yuemei. So far, she had not visited it, so she went there on the way.

Shen Mingzhu didn't go any closer, but just stood at the street corner and watched for a few minutes.

There isn't much business, but it's almost noon now, and steamed buns usually sell more in the morning.

After looking for a while, Shen Mingzhu turned and left.

It doesn’t matter whether the steamed bun shop makes a profit or a loss, as long as Jia Yuemei runs the steamed bun shop quietly and doesn’t cause trouble all day long.

…

In the evening, when the family was having dinner, Pei Ke suddenly proposed to marry Cui Lianying.

"I've been dating your Aunt Cui for quite some time now, and I feel like we get along pretty well. I want her to move in with me, but I can't let her live with me without any status, it won't look good if it gets out."

Shen Mingzhu had no objection to this marriage, and she approved of Cui Lianying as a person, so she asked Pei Ke to find a time to invite people from the Ding family so that the two sides could meet and discuss the marriage.

Cui Lianying's last husband's surname was Ding. (End of this chapter)
