Seeing Zhou Hao's annoyance, Pei Ziheng asked inexplicably, "Don't you like your stepmother?"

Zhou Hao had an expression that said, "Is there any need to ask this?" and whispered to Pei Ziheng, "I heard from others that stepmothers are bad. I don't want one."

Pei Ziheng had an evil thought in his heart, and deliberately said: "There is nothing you can do if you don't want it. Even your own mother doesn't want you anymore."

Zhou Hao became visibly depressed and stopped whispering to Pei Ziheng. It was obvious that he was angry.

Pei Ziheng's mood suddenly improved, and he happily went to the sandpit to play with other friends.

Not far away, several aunties and grandmas from the housing estate were chatting with saliva flying.

"She came from the same village, married into a family compound, and even her two children wear the same clothes. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Although they are from the same village, they are very different. The one from Pei Yang's family is delicate and gentle. You can tell at a glance that she is not the material for being a stepmother. Zhou Shuhuan is a good wife. You can tell at a glance that she is diligent and capable."

"See the skirt Pei Yang is wearing? It was made by Mr. Li across the street. It took six feet of cloth."

This statement caused several people to gasp.

"My goodness, a skirt took six feet of cloth? This little girl will probably squander all the Pei family's wealth in no time..."

These days, the average woman would only use five feet of cloth to make a full set of summer clothes, but Shen Mingzhu used six feet of cloth just to make a skirt. No wonder these people were making such a fuss.

In the wedding room.

The bride, Shen Baolan, sat on the wedding bed covered with a bright red quilt. The matchmaker, the women of the Zhou family, Shen Mingzhu and a dozen other women surrounded her, praising her and chatting with her to entertain her.

Although Shen Baolan was talking to other people, she would glance at Shen Mingzhu from time to time.

Shen Mingzhu was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a green skirt. The style of the skirt was very special. The waist was tight but the hem was wide and fluffy like a half-opened umbrella, which made her waist and calves look particularly thin.

The most eye-catching thing is the collar of Shen Mingzhu's shirt, which is tied with a beautiful big bow with a ribbon of the same color as her skirt, and her hair is also tied into a pigtail with a silk scarf of the same color.

What is most amazing is the makeup on Shen Mingzhu's face. Everyone else is wearing makeup, but Shen Mingzhu's makeup is better than others, just like the female stars in the magazines.

Not only Shen Baolan always looks at Shen Mingzhu, but other women do the same.

At a banquet, everyone wears the best clothes in their wardrobe, but among all the women in the room, Shen Mingzhu is the most eye-catching.

She was wearing a white shirt and a green skirt, with a slender waist, and was as fresh and pretty as a lily. Even the bride in red was outshined.

Looking at Shen Mingzhu, who is prettier than herself, Shen Baolan felt uncomfortable in every way, but she couldn't find any fault with her. She couldn't say that she was dressed too plainly, right?

Shen Baolan married into the Zhou family and became a stepmother, so everyone started talking about raising children intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that Shen Baolan, the new daughter-in-law, would learn some experience. As they were talking, someone started to tease Shen Mingzhu.

"In fact, raising a child also depends on talent. Some people don't know how to raise a child even if they give birth, while some people can raise a child even without having given birth. I think Pei Yang's family is quite good at raising children. The child was so thin before that his chin was pointed, but not long ago, the flesh on his face has grown back, and his little face is chubby. He looks even stronger than when the old couple was still alive."

Shen Mingzhu originally wanted to quietly serve as a background figure, but she was not panicked when she was suddenly cueed.

"I am crossing the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time. I will have to learn more from you in the future."

"You are still being modest. There is no need to be modest. The public has sharp eyes and can see whether something is good or bad."

"He's really handsome. Don't you see whose child he is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

There are two stepmothers in this new house.

Regardless of Shen Baolan's mood, Shen Mingzhu didn't mind at all. Instead, she smiled and continued, "Ziheng looks like his father. He will probably be a handsome guy when he grows up."

Everyone laughed and agreed, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Shen Baolan laughed along with everyone else, but secretly mocked Shen Mingzhu in her heart.

Laugh, when that short-lived Pei Yang dies, you will become a widow with a burden, and see if you can still laugh.

"Mingzhu, has your Pei Yang gone out to sea?"

Although Shen Mingzhu didn't understand why Shen Baolan gave up Pei Yang, who was in better conditions, and chose to marry Zhou Shuhuan, she was really disgusted by Shen Baolan's behavior of having her cake and eat it too.

"Baolan, today is your big day, so just ignore my Pei Yang. The groom will be jealous if he finds out."

Shen Mingzhu used a joking tone. The others smiled and said nothing, but they couldn't help but feel suspicious in their hearts.

The fact that Pei Yang and Zhou Shuhuan went to Shenjiagou for a blind date was no secret in the family compound, but outsiders were not aware of the specific details.

Now that Shen Mingzhu said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Shen Baolan with more curiosity.

Shen Baolan also realized that what she said just now was inappropriate, and quickly said: "Mingzhu, look at what you said, I just care about you. We grew up together, studied together, and now we are married to the same family compound. Such love is rare."

Shen Mingzhu decided to quit while she was ahead. After all, it was someone else's wedding day and she didn't want to embarrass them.

"Look how flustered you are. I was just joking with you."

Shen Baolan smiled apologetically and didn't dare to act like a troublemaker anymore.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the meal.

The friends who played together were pulled to sit by their parents one after another, and soon Pei Ziheng was the only one left in front of the sand pit.

He looked around for a long time but didn't see Shen Mingzhu in the green skirt.

He really shouldn't have had any expectations for this bad woman, thinking that she had changed for the better and would not ignore him like she did in her previous life.

Just as I was feeling angry, a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind me.

"Why are you hiding here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Pei Ziheng turned around and saw the smiling Shen Mingzhu, and blurted out: "You are still blaming me, but you are obviously stupid. Everyone else knows to come here to find someone, but you don't know!"
