Shen Mingzhu resisted the urge to be soft-hearted, pulled the person aside, and handed the small brown glass bottle in her hand to her daughter.

He said in a serious tone: "Do you know what's in it? Just drink it. If it's poison, do you want to be sent to the hospital for injections and medication, and have the doctor cut open your stomach and take out the dirty stuff you swallowed?"

Guoguo shook his head like a drum, and his little face showed fear and horror because of Shen Mingzhu's description.

It's terrible that you have to cut your stomach open because of eating the wrong food.

"Mom, don't go to the hospital. Don't cut open my belly."

Looking at her daughter who buried her head in her arms, Shen Mingzhu softened her tone, "If you don't want the doctor to cut your stomach open, you are not allowed to eat anything you don't recognize. Remember?"

"Yeah, I remember that."

"Did you really remember it? Then tell me about it and let me know if you really remembered it or you are just lying to me."

Guoguo quickly said, "Don't eat anything you don't recognize. If you do, you'll have to go to the hospital and have your stomach cut."

Seeing that her daughter was a little scared, Shen Mingzhu touched her little head lovingly and said, "Not only can you not eat things you don't know, you can't eat things given by strangers, because you don't know whether he is a good person or a bad person."

"There are many kidnappers nowadays. They specifically kidnap beautiful and cute little girls like you, and give you poisoned candies to eat. After you eat the poison and pass out, they take the opportunity to take you away. Then you will never see your father, mother, and brother again."

Shen Mingzhu has said similar things in front of her daughter more than once.

Guoguo had already memorized it by heart, and nodded while saying in a baby voice, "Don't eat candies given by strangers, they are poisonous."

Shen Mingzhu kissed her daughter's pink cheek as a reward, "So good."

Guoguo also opened his arms to hug her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, "Mom, don't be angry. I will be obedient in the future."

Shen Mingzhu stretched out her little finger and said, "Pink pinky, whoever lies will turn into a puppy."

Guoguo happily stretched out his little finger and hooked it with hers, and put their thumbs together to give her a stamp.

Cui Lianying smiled and reminded: "It's almost time to eat."

Shen Mingzhu took her daughter to the bathroom to wash her hands.

"Mom, as long as I behave myself, I won't turn into a puppy, right?"

"Yes, I do."

"If my brother doesn't obey, will he turn into a puppy?"

"Yes."

"Then when my brother comes back, I will talk to him and make him listen to you, otherwise he will turn into a little dog."

Hearing the conversation coming from the bathroom, Pei Ziheng put down his schoolbag with a slight smile on his lips and walked towards the bathroom.

"Mother."

Looking back at her son, Shen Mingzhu greeted him with a smile, "Come in, wash your hands and eat."

"Um."

Shen Mingzhu moved her daughter aside to make room for her son, then reached out to grab a dry towel to wipe her daughter's hands, but Pei Ziheng got there first.

"Mom, let me do it."

Shen Mingzhu rubbed his head, said "OK" with a smile, and turned to leave.

Pei Ziheng bent down and wiped his sister's wet little paws dry, even the delicate fingertips were not spared.

Guoguo nags in his ear in a baby voice, "Brother, you have to listen to mommy, otherwise you will turn into a puppy."

Pei Ziheng asked her, "If my brother really turned into a puppy, would you still want him?"

Pei Tang thought about it and nodded vigorously, "Yes."

The boy's delicate eyebrows and eyes blossomed, as if thousands of flowers were blooming, and the young Pei Tang was stunned.

My brother is so handsome~ Shen Mingzhu looked at the box opened by her daughter, feeling helpless and relieved.

She originally planned to wait for the right time to "return" the two boxes of nutrient solution, but her daughter was naughty and not only found where she put the things, but also opened them up.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhu took a bottle of nutrient solution, inserted a straw and took a sip.

Both the texture and taste are much better than the ones bought in the hospital. They are neither astringent nor bitter, but sour and sweet, with a fruity aroma. No wonder my daughter drinks them secretly.

After much deliberation, Shen Mingzhu decided to keep the two boxes of nutrient solution.

Between owing a favor to Yan Yi and her daughter's growth, she chose the latter.

Every mother will do anything for her children.

However, in order to prevent her daughter from drinking secretly again, during lunch, she specifically told Cui Lianying to find a locksmith in the afternoon to lock the cabinet where she kept the nutrient solution.

…

After nearly a month of long suffering, the restructuring of the cotton mill was officially implemented.

The cotton spinning mill has been in operation for nearly half a century since its establishment. At its peak, the number of employees in the mill was as high as 2,000, and its total output value accounted for nearly 50% of the province's cotton spinning industry.

After the reform, there are less than 300 employees who can stay in the factory, and more than 1,000 employees are facing layoffs and unemployment.

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

Pei Wenping gave her place in the factory to the old factory director's daughter-in-law and chose to leave the factory.

She has savings and some shares in a food factory, which gives her a steady income every year, so she won't starve even if she doesn't work.

The old factory director was forced to retire early this time. His wife is in poor health and his son has been laid off. If his daughter-in-law is also laid off, the family may not have enough food to eat.

When Shen Mingzhu's food factory was first established, it encountered many difficulties and the old factory director provided a lot of help.

This was also a way for her to repay the favor on behalf of Shen Mingzhu.

At the farewell dinner, many people left in tears, and past grudges and conflicts were dispelled in the sad atmosphere.

Especially when they sang "Farewell" together, even Pei Wenping couldn't help but burst into tears.

She had been working in a cotton mill since she started working. Fifteen years, from youth to middle age, came to an end here.

…

The song ended and the crowd dispersed amid mutual encouragement and cheering.

"Hey, Wenping, you're back?"

When I went upstairs, I met Aunt Xu who lived on the same floor going out.

Seeing that Pei Wenping was unhappy, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.

The news of the cotton mill reform and workers' layoffs had long been a hot topic.

Pei Wenping was indeed in no mood. She responded casually and continued walking upstairs.

"Hey, Wenping, where are you going?"

After hearing Aunt Xu's reminder, Pei Wenping realized that she had already passed the floor where she lived.

"Oh, I'm going to the rooftop to collect my things."

Not wanting to embarrass herself, she casually replied.

After hearing this, Aunt Xu didn't think much about it and went downstairs with the trash can to throw away the garbage.

Ten minutes later.

Aunt Xu carried the empty trash can upstairs. When she took out the key and was about to open the door, she suddenly thought of something and turned around and knocked on the door opposite.

After waiting for a long time and no one opened the door, Aunt Xu hurried home to make a phone call.

When Shen Mingzhu ran to the roof, she saw Pei Wenping bending over and trying to climb the railing. She was so scared that her heart almost stopped.

"Big sister!"

Pei Wenping turned around and saw Shen Mingzhu panting. She was stunned and asked, "Why are you here?" (End of this chapter)
