When she found out that Pei Yang and Zhou Shuhuan had secretly eaten up all the beef patties that were originally intended for the Chen family, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

The two of them are over fifty years old, but they are not as reliable as a five-year-old child when doing things.

Shen Mingzhu comforted Pei Wenping on the phone and promised to bake some more beef patties and send them to her in a few days. Only then did Pei Wenping calm down.

After returning to the family compound, Zhou Shuhuan said to Pei Yang, "Brother Yang, I'll go back first."

Pei Yang looked at him and asked, "Are you not going to visit my house?"

"No, it's already noon, it's time to go back and eat."

Pei Yang glanced at his stomach and said with a half-smile, "After eating so many biscuits, can you still have lunch?"

Zhou Shuhuan: “…”

Of course he couldn't eat lunch, but he was too embarrassed to go to Pei's house or face Shen Mingzhu.

It's so embarrassing.

Zhou Shuhuan patted his butt and went home, but Pei Yang had to bite the bullet and go home to face his wife.

"Mingzhu, I'm back."

Looking at the guilty and embarrassed man, Shen Mingzhu was too lazy to say anything. He had already eaten it, and there was no way she could ask him to vomit it out.

Having done something wrong, Pei Yang was very conscious and didn't dare to show up in front of her, but hid in his son's room to digest his food.

I ate seven beef patties this morning. They tasted good when I ate them, but now I feel a little sick of them.

"Ziheng, go get me a glass of water."

Pei Ziheng looked at him expressionlessly, "You only knew to call me when you wanted to drink water. Why didn't you think of leaving one for me when you were eating beef patties?"

Pei Yang: “…”

"Don't you have some at home?"

"They were all given away. I only ate one."

Neither enough nor full.

He got angry when he thought about Pei Yang eating seven by himself.

"Be good, ask your mom to bake more next time, and you can eat as much as you want. Go get me a glass of water first. I feel so sick that I feel like vomiting."

Hearing this, Pei Ziheng jumped off the chair depressedly and walked out of the room.

After a while, footsteps were heard. Pei Yang opened his eyes and saw his wife walking in with a glass of water.

"This is hawthorn tea, it helps digestion and relieves greasiness."

"Thank you, wife."

Shen Mingzhu glared at him and turned away.

Pei Yang picked up the cup and was about to drink, when he suddenly found that the cup looked familiar. He looked at it carefully and realized that it was the one his wife bought at the mall yesterday. He said that his wife bought it for him! His wife really loves him. He was so happy! Pei Yang was so happy that he took a big sip from the cup. He spat the water back into the cup with a spit.

——

Zhou family.

Ma Sufen prepared the meal and ran to Zhou Shuhuan's door to call him to eat, but Zhou Shuhuan just lay there without moving. Shen Baolan, on the other hand, got out of bed, put on her shoes and ran straight to the dining table, fearing that she would be late and miss the food.

Ma Sufen glared at Shen Baolan with sharp eyes, and then called Zhou Shuhuan, but Zhou Shuhuan said that he was not hungry and did not want to eat.

Ma Sufen returned to the dining table in disappointment. Seeing Shen Baolan wolfing down the food, she became immediately furious.

Her husband went out to meet friends, and her grandson went to his grandmother's house, so there were only her, her son and his wife at home.

If she had known her son wouldn't eat, she wouldn't have cooked. She worked so hard to prepare a meal for her son, but the whole meal went to her lazy daughter-in-law.

Shen Baolan retorted, "I am unlucky to have met such a wicked mother-in-law like you. I have your Zhou family's baby in my belly, and I complain every time I eat a few more mouthfuls of food. You should have told me earlier that you couldn't afford a wife. There are many people who can support me!"

Ma Sufen was almost so angry that she fell backwards.

Zhou Shuhuan in the room heard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling again, and felt extremely annoyed. He covered his head with the quilt and fantasized that it would be great if his home could be as warm and cozy as Pei Yang's.

——

After lunch, Ma Sufen went out to play.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a few mothers-in-law sitting together and chatting with relish. There were vague words like "shameless" and "flirtatious" in their conversations, as if they were scolding some daughter-in-law.

Ma Sufen came over out of curiosity and want to listen.

As a result, when everyone saw her, they all fell silent.

Ma Sufen was anxious. "Go on, keep talking. I just got here and haven't heard anything yet. Who are you talking about?"

"Haha, I didn't mention anyone, I was just talking nonsense."

Seeing that they were unwilling to tell her, Ma Sufen was still unhappy, "What's the matter? Is there any gossip that I can't listen to? Do you treat me as an outsider?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally, a brave mother-in-law spoke.

"Su Fen, there are some things I don't want to say. It's embarrassing to say them out loud. You should take good care of your daughter-in-law. She's already so pregnant, but she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. She keeps approaching Pei Yang as soon as she sees him. It's really inappropriate."

"That's right. She doesn't know how to restrain herself in public, and I don't know what she's like behind her back. I don't know what she's thinking. It's not like she regretted it after seeing Pei Yang coming back, right?"

Ma Sufen never dreamed that she would end up eating the melon on her own head, and she was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.

She immediately ran home in small steps, called her son to her room, and told him the gossip she had heard downstairs, embellishing it.

"...This bastard, how could he have been so blind to find such a restless thing like her! She always stirs up trouble and now she has caused such a shameful incident. I have no place to put my face!"

"Mom, don't believe everything you hear. I was the one who asked Baolan to deliver food to Pei Yang yesterday. Those people in the staff quarters love to make up stories, and you actually believed them."

Ma Sufen was so angry that she kept wiping away tears. "What's the point of me not believing it? People in the family compound are gossiping and laughing at our Zhou family. You shouldn't have married her back then. It would have been much better if you had married Shen Mingzhu instead!"

These words touched Zhou Shuhuan's heart.

If he hadn't made such a hasty decision at that time, if he had followed Pei Yang to Shen Mingzhu's house...

Unfortunately, there is no if.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open from outside.

Shen Baolan stood outside the door with her hands on her hips, sneering, "Well, mother and son are hiding and plotting against me? What, do you regret marrying me as your daughter-in-law? Ma Sufen, don't you see what your son is like? He's a second-married prisoner, he has no looks, and he has no job. I, Shen Baolan, am a pure and innocent virgin, and you still have the nerve to despise me. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Pah!"

"Don't think I'm afraid of your Zhou family just because I'm pregnant. Even if I've had a baby and been divorced, I can still marry someone better! But your son, you're getting married for the third time and you still have two burdens. Don't even think about getting a wife in this life. You'll be a bachelor forever!"

"Baolan, calm down. Mom didn't mean that. She just heard some gossip and got angry, so she came to me and said a few angry words."

Although Zhou Shuhuan felt a lot of dislike and resentment towards Shen Baolan in his heart, he never thought about divorce.

A daughter-in-law is like a bowl. Even though it has cracks and can easily get cut, you still have to continue eating from the broken bowl until you find a new one that suits your taste.

But Ma Sufen doesn't think so.

The conflict between her and Shen Baolan had escalated from simple dislike to deep hatred through their daily quarrels, and she wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

She would rather her son remain single than tolerate her lazy daughter-in-law continuing to act like a jerk under her nose.

"Okay, then go back to your rural hometown. I want to see what kind of high branch you can climb!"
