Someone asked Shen Mingzhu if they could borrow her design and find a tailor to make a similar skirt for them. Shen Mingzhu readily agreed and asked the other party to go home with her to get the design.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu being so straightforward, several other mothers also said that they wanted to make a skirt like this to wear.

Shen Mingzhu didn't care, she didn't rely on this for a living anyway.

Several mothers thanked Shen Mingzhu happily and invited her to their homes.

Shen Baolan, who was following behind, felt very uncomfortable when she saw Shen Mingzhu being sought after by everyone.

It’s just a torn skirt. Can you become an immortal by wearing it?

When Zhou Shuhuan becomes rich, she will buy eight or ten more beautiful skirts than this one, and wear a different one every day. She will envy Shen Mingzhu to death! "Ah, Mingzhu, you are so lucky. Someone supports you. You don't have to do anything every day. You just need to take good care of the children. I am so miserable. Alas."

Shen Baolan has never been a person who belittles herself. It must be something extraordinary for her to come to her and express such emotion for no reason.

Shen Mingzhu didn't respond and just waited for the other party to perform.

On the contrary, other mothers were very interested in what Shen Baolan said about her "bitter fate" (gossip). "Zhou Hao's mother, have you encountered any difficulties? Tell us about it and make everyone happy. No, I want to comfort you."

"My mother-in-law couldn't bear to see me idle, so she asked someone to arrange a job for me. I have to go to work in two days. I won't have a leisurely life from now on."

"What kind of work is this? Is it hard?"

"Working as a cook in the cafeteria of the Municipal Cotton Mill."

"A cotton mill? That's a state-owned enterprise. It's a stable job!"

Nowadays, who doesn't want a stable job? But housewives like them who have no education, no skills and no background can only take care of the children and take care of the whole family at home. How can they find a job?

Surrounded by envious eyes, Shen Baolan was as proud as a peacock. She said normal words but her face was smiling like a flower.

"Mingzhu is lucky. She has a man who earns money to support her. She eats well, dresses well, and doesn't have to worry about anything. Unlike me, I am born to work hard."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "I have to thank you for giving me such a good man. I got a great bargain. My Pei Yang is tall, handsome, mature and considerate. I can spend whatever money he makes. It's worth it to marry such a good man in this life."

Smile, I'll see how you cry in half a year! Shen Baolan mocked, "Although your Pei Yang can make money, we women still have to stand on our own feet. I advise you to find a job and save some money while you are still young. Don't wait until you need money and end up with nothing. It's too late to cry."

"That's nothing for you to worry about."

Seeing that the two were about to start a quarrel, the other mothers quickly changed the subject.

——

On the endless blue sea, there are wave-like ripples, merging with the sky, as beautiful as a painting.

Pei Yang stood at the side of the boat, staring at the sea in a trance, with a hint of melancholy between his brows.

Lin Guofu was patrolling by and saw him standing there in a daze, so he walked over.

"Are you worried? What? Did your new wife have a fight with you?"

Pei Yang smiled and said, "No."

Lin Guofu snorted, "You are still pretending in front of me. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I remember that your master's wife quarreled with me many times. It is not easy to be a seaman's woman. It is normal to be upset. Let's be broad-minded. When we go back, take her to buy some jewelry and say some nice words to coax her. Everything will be fine. Believe me, I am very experienced."

Pei Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master, Mingzhu really didn't make a fuss..."

Lin Guofu was really surprised when he learned about Shen Mingzhu's reaction when she knew Pei Yang was going to go to sea.

"You just met and haven't developed feelings for each other yet. Once you have feelings for each other, she won't be so generous."

It turned out that the reason she was so generous and considerate was because she didn't care about him.

I don't know what she is doing now. Today is the first day of her son's kindergarten. She wouldn't have forgotten it, right? He should have reminded her on the phone that day.

After all, she is a little girl, which really makes him worried.

——

The kindergarten is over at 4:30 pm.

When Shen Mingzhu arrived at the kindergarten gate, a large number of parents who were waiting to pick up their children had already gathered at the gate.

A young woman came over with a smile and started chatting with Shen Mingzhu. She was the mother she met in the morning. The child seemed to be named Wang Shiting.

As soon as 4:30 arrived, young children like young seedlings swarmed out of the kindergarten.

Shen Mingzhu quickly found Pei Ziheng. All the other children rushed towards their parents like young swallows, but Pei Ziheng was the only one who was calm and slow. His pretty face was expressionless and he looked very cool.

"Ziheng, walk faster."

Hearing Shen Mingzhu's urging, Pei Ziheng reluctantly sped up.

"How was your first day at school? Did you enjoy it?"

Pei Ziheng rolled his eyes at her, as if to say, do I look happy to you? "It shouldn't be like this, you are dressed so handsomely, don't girls want to play with you?"

Yes, a lot of them, but he scolded them all away.

He would never play with a childish brat who can't even wipe his nose clean, cries at every turn, and needs to be fed.

"What did the teacher teach you? Did you learn to sing? Sing a few lines for me to listen to."

"Could it be that you are too stupid to learn a single word?"

Seeing that her stepson was not fooled and his little lips were pursed like a clam shell, Shen Mingzhu stopped teasing him and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

After buying groceries, she asked her stepson to carry them. She bought an ice cream and ate it while walking. She felt so comfortable. When she saw Pei Ziheng looking at her, she said, "You are still young. You can't eat these cold foods. You will have diarrhea. I am doing this for your own good."

While eating ice cream, I remembered that he was young. How could I feel so comfortable letting him carry things?

Pei Ziheng had a sour face and didn't want to say a word.

After entering the gate of the family compound, they met many familiar people. They saw Shen Mingzhu was just a hands-off boss, while little Pei Ziheng was carrying a bag full of vegetables, his forehead was covered with sweat from exhaustion. They praised Pei Ziheng for being capable and sensible in person, but turned their backs and muttered to Shen Mingzhu that she was being unreasonable and mistreating her stepson harshly.

Shen Mingzhu dared to do this, so she must have anticipated the consequences.

The reason why she did this can be summed up in eight words:

Sacrifice yourself to help others! These days, she never misses any opportunity to praise her stepson in front of outsiders. It seems like she is bragging about herself, but in fact, she is establishing Pei Ziheng as a hardworking, sensible and tenacious person.

Over time, when people in the family compound talked about Pei Ziheng, they would sigh that he was a good boy, and Pei Ziheng himself would gradually be drawn into this character, unknowingly behaving in a way that would move him closer to this character, and eventually become such a person.

Once she has trained the future villain into a good young man with upright values, she naturally won't have to worry about him ending up like the original owner.

She is such a clever creature.
