After teaching for half an hour, my stepson was finally able to recite the multiplication table from one to three.

After helping the whole family take a bath and go to bed, Shen Baolan went back to her room to rest with a sore back.

As soon as they lay down, Zhou Shuhuan came over and wanted to get intimate, but was slapped away by Shen Baolan.

After a day's work, she has to cook, take care of the family and teach her stepson when she gets home. She is so exhausted that she doesn't want to do anything except sleep.

Looking at his wife sleeping like a dead pig, Zhou Shuhuan put on his clothes irritably and went out to drink with his brothers.

The next day, at the Zhou family's dinner table, Ma Sufen started to criticize Shen Mingzhu again, saying that Shen Mingzhu bought a large iron box, and no one knew what it was for, and she spent fifty yuan.

Even the taciturn father-in-law Zhou Quanxiong was amazed and joked that the Pei family had married a money-eating beast.

While Shen Baolan was secretly happy, she was also curious about what Shen Mingzhu was going to do with the iron box by spending so much money.

Fifty yuan is not a small amount of money. She worked as a cook in a cotton mill and only earned fifty-two yuan a month.

Shen Mingzhu spent her month's salary in one go, so it was not unfair for her to be called a spendthrift.

Shen Mingzhu didn't know that the Zhou family was gossiping about buying an oven for her, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Pei Ziheng had experienced two lives, so he naturally recognized what the big iron box bought by Shen Mingzhu was used for.

Finally, they cleared a space on the balcony to put the oven. Shen Mingzhu was so tired that she almost collapsed. She straightened up and gave instructions to her stepson who was circling around the oven in the living room.

"Get me a clean towel."

Don't you have arms and legs? Pei Ziheng complained in his heart, but he had to run to the bathroom to get a towel.

If he didn't take it anyway, Shen Mingzhu would threaten him by not taking him to see Pei Yang, so he would have to take it in the end.

hateful.

"Help me wipe the sweat off my face."

"Can't you wipe it yourself?"

"My hands are dirty."

"Can't you just wash your hands?"

"It will still get dirty after washing for a while, which means it's a waste of water. Your dad works hard to support the three of us, so we should save as much as possible, right?"

"Why don't you think about how hard my dad works to earn money when you buy this piece of iron?"

"I have thought about it for several days. I feel sorry for your father because he works so hard to earn money for me."

"You still buy it because you feel bad for it?"

"Well, what else can I do? I can't ask other men to buy it for me, right?"

“…”

Knowing that he couldn't win the argument, Pei Ziheng could only put on a sullen face and wipe her sweat with a towel.

After wiping the sweat off her face, Shen Mingzhu said she wanted to drink some water, so Pei Ziheng went to bring her some water.

After drinking the water, Shen Mingzhu looked at the big oven in the living room and worried about it.

The oven was made of pure iron, and it was huge and heavy. Not only could she lift it alone, but even three of them couldn't lift it.

How about asking the neighbors for help?

Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Baolan came over uninvited.

"Hey, Mingzhu, what are you busy with?"

Without waiting for Shen Mingzhu to call, Shen Baolan walked into the Pei family's doorstep with familiarity. Seeing the oven in the living room, she thought that this was the big iron box that Shen Mingzhu had spent fifty yuan to buy. What a spendthrift woman she really is.

"Mingzhu, what are you going to use this thing for?"

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes and smiled, "Help me move it to the balcony, and I'll tell you."

Shen Baolan curled her lips and said, "You wish. I won't help you move it. If you want to move it, you can do it yourself."

"Forget it, I'll go find someone else to help me, and don't ask me what I'm going to do with it."

Shen Baolan came up specifically just to find out why Shen Mingzhu spent so much money to buy a big iron box for. If she didn't get it clearly, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"You tell me first, and then I'll help you move."

"Shen Baolan, do you think I'm stupid? If I told you first and you just left, who would I go to?"

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was not fooled, Shen Baolan could not help but complain, "Why have you changed so much since you got married?"

Shen Baolan looked at the oven and thought for a while. "Okay, I'll help you move it, but don't try to cheat me. If you don't tell me after you move it, I'll move it back for you!"

You can move there first.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you after we move."

When Shen Mingzhu saw Shen Baolan blushing and actually moving the oven, she was shocked.

This weighs more than 50 kilograms. I didn’t expect this woman to be so strong.

"It's your turn to speak. What are you buying this for?"

Looking at Shen Baolan, who was gasping for breath and whose neck and face were red, Shen Mingzhu didn't know what to say.

Are you so curious?

When Shen Baolan learned the function of this huge and heavy iron box, she almost dropped her jaw in shock.

"You spent so much money to buy such a big thing, just to eat it? Shen Mingzhu, you are really good at making money. You will regret it if you spend all the money Pei Yang has."

This day.

Sister Liu, who was in charge of serving meals, was sick. Seeing that Shen Baolan was young and somewhat educated, the manager called her to window No. 2 to help serve meals temporarily.

After a while, two young women came to Shen Baolan's food window. They were not only well-dressed but also had good temperament. They looked like city people at first glance, which made Shen Baolan very envious. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

The more she looked, the more she felt that the woman in the yellow dress looked familiar.

She was just trying to recall where she had seen this man when she heard the woman next to her ask the girl in the yellow skirt, "Wen Ping, when will your Pei Yang come back? My sister-in-law just broke up with her last boyfriend, and I wanted to introduce her to your Pei Yang..."

Shen Baolan suddenly remembered that the girl in the yellow skirt belonged to Pei Yang's biological sister! She had seen her in a dream! "Why are you staring at me? Come and get some food. I want a bowl of porridge, an egg, and a spoonful of pickles."

At Pei Wenping's urging, Shen Baolan came to her senses and hurried to serve Pei Wenping food.

Afterwards, Shen Baolan kept an eye on Pei Wenping while getting her meal. When she saw Pei Wenping finish eating and get up to leave, Shen Baolan said something to the person at the window next to her, then threw away the rice spoon and chased after Pei Wenping.

Outside the cafeteria, Pei Wenping was stopped by Shen Baolan and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Baolan quickly introduced herself.

"Hello, I didn't expect you to come to this job."

Pei Wenping was greeting Shen Baolan, but her eyes were subconsciously looking at Shen Baolan.

She is pretty, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a tall figure. At first glance, she is a woman who is efficient.

But in comparison, she still likes Shen Mingzhu more. Although Shen Mingzhu is a little more spoiled, she looks kind. The Shen Baolan in front of her is more shrewd and calculating.

——

Shen Mingzhu washed her hands and was about to sit on the sofa to rest when there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw it was my elder sister-in-law Pei Wenping.

"I was passing by here on business, and I came to see you on the way."

Pei Wenping was holding a net bag full of apples in her hands, with a smile on her face, but she didn't look very happy.

After entering the room, Pei Wenping first glanced around the room to see that it was clean everywhere, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

Shen Mingzhu poured Pei Wenping a cup of homemade rose tea. Pei Wenping picked up the cup and took a sip, casually praising it for being delicious, and then asked Shen Mingzhu what she had been busy with recently.

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, as a housewife, what else can I do besides taking care of the kids? But she still picked out a few daily things to chat with Pei Wenping.

Pei Wenping listened and looked at the clothes she was wearing. "Your clothes look quite new. Were they just made?"

Facing Pei Wenping's half-smiley eyes, Shen Mingzhu suddenly came to her senses, "Sister, did you hear someone say something?"

Pei Wenping put down the cup and the faint smile on her face disappeared.

"Sister-in-law, I won't beat around the bush with you. I did hear a lot of gossip, but I just listen to it for fun. I came here just to hear what you have to say."

"Big sister, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, let me ask you, how much money did Pei Yang leave for you when he left? How much do you have left now?"
