Knowing that it was his son who taught him, Shen Mingzhu praised: "Brother is right, we don't cause trouble but we are not afraid of it. If someone gossips about you behind your back in the future, you don't have to be polite to her."

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing her daughter's cute and well-behaved appearance, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but lower her head and kiss her again, "Let's go home."

"Mom, I want to eat McDonald's."

In the past, Shen Mingzhu would definitely refuse on the grounds that it was unhealthy.

But after the kidnapping, she no longer asks her daughter to control her weight.

Her only thought now is that her daughter grows up safely and happily, no matter if she is a little fatter.

"Okay, let's go."

Arriving at the entrance of McDonald's, Shen Mingzhu parked the car and just got out of the car, she saw a few people arguing and pushing in front of her.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at it and took her daughter into McDonald's without paying much attention.

After entering the restaurant, Pei Tang chose a seat by the window so that he could see the group of people arguing across the street.

Although he is young, he already loves to eat melons.

"Mom, they're fighting."

Shen Mingzhu looked out the window in the direction of the sound and realized that the person being surrounded and pushed by several people was Wu Mei, Cui Junyou's mother.

When Ou Liya was disgraced and lost her job as a teacher, Wu Mei played an indispensable role in this.

Judging from the overturned pancake stand next to her, Wu Mei’s current situation is not good. She is completely different from the exquisite and wealthy girl in the past.

After a few minutes, the people who were looking for trouble gradually dispersed.

Wu Mei stood up from the ground in embarrassment, wiped her tears while straightening the snack stand, then bent down to pick up the things that were scattered on the ground.

After thinking for a few seconds, Shen Mingzhu told her daughter to eat in the restaurant, and she got up and went across the street.

"Mrs. Cui."

Hearing her name, Wu Mei turned her head, her haggard face full of surprise.

"You are...Mrs. Pei?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded, "It's me."

After not seeing each other for several years, Shen Mingzhu is not only still as radiant as before, but also more noble and elegant. In contrast, she has fallen into the status of a street vendor, with unkempt hair and a dirty face.

In contrast, Wu Mei's cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Um, you, do you want to buy some cakes?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded, "I want twenty, can you do it?"

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, I'll do it right away."

Wu Mei was overjoyed and quickly packed up her things and started working.

Shen Mingzhu stood in front of the pancake stall, watching Wu Mei making pancakes while chatting with her: "Why did you think of setting up a stall?"

Perhaps out of gratitude to Shen Mingzhu for taking care of the business, Wu Mei talked about the changes in her family.

A few years ago, Wu Mei's husband caught up with the wave of economic reform and opened his own restaurant. Business was booming and he earned a lot of money a year. The family bought a house and a car, and those days were truly prosperous.

Until last year, Cui Wei became addicted to gambling. In just half a year, he not only lost all his fortune, but also owed a large foreign debt.

The people who surrounded Wu Mei before were the ones who came to collect debts.

Situations like this happen every two or three days.

"If it weren't for my children, I would really like to die!" When talking about the sad part, Wu Mei couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Shen Mingzhu was silent for a moment, "Do you still remember Ou Liya?"

Wu Mei looked at Shen Mingzhu in a daze, obviously not understanding why she suddenly mentioned this name.

Shen Mingzhu briefly explained how Ou Liya took revenge on the banker and her.

Wu Mei's eyes widened, "You mean, Junyou's father was also killed by her?"

“It’s not impossible.”

"Having harmed so many lives, he deserves the death penalty."

"It's too easy for her to die! This vicious woman has brought our family to this state, wuwuwu..."

Shen Mingzhu put down the money for the cake, turned around and left quietly.

Back to McDonald's restaurant.

"Mom, do you know that aunt?"

"Well, her son was my brother's classmate in the first grade."

When Pei Tang heard that it was Pei Ziheng's mother, he felt more sympathy and pity for Wu Mei who was sitting on the ground crying.

"Mom, she's so pitiful, can we help her?"

"cannot."

Pei Tang blinked, "Why?"

"People must always learn to be independent, self-reliant and self-reliant. If she has difficulties, she can turn to her family, relatives and friends. It is not the turn of outsiders like us to help."

"Then why do you help the children in the mountains to study and send them clothes, books and stationery? You don't even know them?"

Shen Mingzhu took a tissue and gently wiped the tomato stains from the corners of her daughter's mouth, saying:

"Children are the hope of the future of the country, they are young saplings, they need care and growth, but their background and environment mean they cannot receive education like normal children, they need us to lend a hand. Aunt Wu is an adult, she is capable of making money to solve her own problems, she does not need us to worry about her."

"Oh." Pei Tang thought for a moment.

Shen Mingzhu patted her daughter's head and said, "Mom will teach you one more thing. Don't be a pushover."

Pei Tang tilted his head, "What is a goody-goody?"

"Not caring about right and wrong, always responding to other people's requests, even at the expense of their own interests and hurting those around them, this is what it means. To love others, you must first love yourself, and loving yourself is the most important thing."

"But, I want to love my mother the most, is that not possible?"

Despite her young age, her mouth is as sweet as honey.

Shen Mingzhu scratched her daughter's nose lovingly, "To love others, you must first love yourself. On the premise that you love yourself enough, it is enough to give some love to your mother."

Pei Tang counted on his fingers happily, "I give the most love to you, mom, then to my brother, and finally to Fugui and dad."

Shen Mingzhu was both amused and confused.

It is easy to imagine how angry the man would be when he found out that his daughter compared him to a German Shepherd.

It was already eight o'clock when Pei Tang got home. He jumped upstairs and called his brother.

Thanks to Pei Ziheng, Pei Tang also has his own mobile phone.

The phone case is Pei Tang’s favorite pink rabbit, and it also comes with a base. When not in use, the phone can be placed on the base and it becomes a beautiful ornament.

"Brother~"

As soon as the call was connected, Pei Tang told Pei Ziheng what happened in school today.

Pei Ziheng was very patient, and he didn't praise Pei Tang until she finished speaking.

"If someone bullies you in the future, try not to use your mouth if you can use your hands. Only when they know the pain will they restrain themselves."

"Uh-huh!"

Pei Tang rolled over on the bed holding the phone, "Brother, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"

"Um."

A short response was enough to make Pei Tang smile, and then she pouted: "It's all mom's fault."

"What's the matter?"

"Why didn't mom give birth to me earlier? If I was born with you, I could go to the capital to study with you now."

Even a cool and aloof Pei Ziheng was amused by his sister's silliness. (End of this chapter)
