Shen Mingzhu ran downstairs anxiously and found that except for Pei Ziheng's messy hair and clothes, there was no external injury on his face or body, and he was not crying. Instead, the other child standing opposite him was crying breathlessly. Shen Mingzhu realized that Pei Ziheng had won the fight and did not suffer any loss, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But before she could catch her breath, the crying child's mother angrily started arguing with Shen Mingzhu.
"Ziheng's mother, how do you manage your child? Look how you bullied my child."
Shen Mingzhu took a close look at the child. There were no visible external injuries, but his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and his body was covered in mud and sand, looking as disheveled as a mud monkey. It was obvious that he had been pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Shen Mingzhu comforted the other mother with a few words, then turned around and asked Pei Ziheng why he fought.
Pei Ziheng pursed his lips and said nothing. Shen Mingzhu knew her stepson's character, so she asked other children who played with him.
The children talked one after another and soon explained the whole thing.
Tao Mingming said in front of Pei Ziheng that Shen Mingzhu was a big braggart, so Pei Ziheng started a fight with Tao Mingming.
What could a four or five-year-old child understand? It was obvious that he had heard his parents talk about it at home, so he learned it and ran outside to shout.
Originally, she felt guilty when facing the questioning from Tao Mingming's mother. Now, she still feels guilty.
"Xiao Heng, how can you hit someone? He is rude and ill-mannered. You can talk to him properly and reason with him."
After saying that, Shen Mingzhu looked at Tao Mingming again, "Tao Mingming, it was wrong for my Xiaoheng to hit someone. I apologize to you on his behalf. But can you tell your auntie who taught you to call him a boaster? Don't lie, people who lie will have their noses grow longer."
Tao Mingming, who was sobbing, stopped crying after being "threatened" by Shen Mingzhu. He looked up at his mother with tears in his eyes, "Mom..."
"Oh, so it was your mother who taught you that." Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized and blamed the other party without waiting for her to explain: "Tao Mingming's mother, this is your fault. It doesn't matter what you say about me behind my back, but you shouldn't say it in front of the child. Aren't you afraid that the child will follow your example and become a chatterbox in the future?"
Tao Mingming's mother blushed and defended herself by saying that she had never said that.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Tao Mingming burst into tears.
"Mom, you can't lie. If you lie, your nose will grow longer, woo woo woo..."
Regarding Tao Mingming's assist, Shen Mingzhu just wanted to say: Well done.
Tao Mingming's mother's face turned red with embarrassment, and she wished there was a crack in the ground she could crawl into. At the same time, she was very dissatisfied. It was wrong for her to talk about people behind their backs, but is it okay for you, Shen Mingzhu? "Ziheng's mother, these words did not come from my mouth. You are just pretending to be rich, and you don't want people to say anything?"
"Why am I pretending to be rich?"
"You tell everyone that you made ten dollars by making egg cakes, but you don't know how to make egg cakes at all. Isn't this just bragging?"
It turns out it’s still about the egg cake. Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she almost laughed.
What’s the matter? Now that you have a good life, you have nothing to do after eating your fill?
Some curious onlookers who were watching the excitement also started talking at once, asking Shen Mingzhu soul-searching questions.
"Pei Yang's wife, do you know how to make egg cake? Just tell us the truth. Even if you can't make it, no one will laugh at you."
Bullshit! If she really said that she couldn't do it, those who wanted to cause chaos in the world would spread the news to everyone, hoping that everyone in the city would come to laugh at her.
"I can not only make egg cakes, I can also make moon cakes. I plan to set up a small stall in front of the family compound to sell moon cakes in a few days. Everyone is welcome to come and support my business."
"Go ahead and brag. You don't have to worry about blowing your own trumpet."
Shen Mingzhu recognized that the old woman who was speaking was Shen Baolan's mother-in-law. She was about to say something back when she heard someone calling her.
When I looked back, ho, it was Wang Defa.
Wang Defa smiled and stated his intention, saying that the guests had praised the egg cake he bought from her last time. A relative was planning a wedding for his son and came to ask Shen Mingzhu to help make the egg cake.
After hearing this, the people in the family compound also recognized Wang Defa as the person who bought the egg cake a few days ago.
"Don't be fooled by her. She doesn't know how to make egg cakes at all."
"That's right, her egg cakes are all bought from outside, they are just to fool people."
Wang Defa naturally would not take this to heart. Even if he did not believe Shen Mingzhu, he would not disbelieve Pei Wenping.
But the relative who came with Wang Defa had concerns.
He didn't know Shen Mingzhu either. He came to her because of Wang Defa's introduction. If Shen Mingzhu was really a liar, losing money would be a small matter, but it would be terrible if it affected his son's marriage.
"Defa, forget it, let's go look somewhere else."
Seeing that his relative had backed off, Wang Defa didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly at Shen Mingzhu, "Sister-in-law of the Pei family, you go ahead and do your work. We'll come back to you when we need you."

Seeing that she had successfully stopped (disrupted) Shen Mingzhu's tricks (business), Ma Sufen was as proud as a victorious rooster.
This old woman wants to ruin her business, no way! "Wait a minute."
Shen Mingzhu called out to Wang Defa and the others in a crisp voice, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Can't you tell if I can make egg cakes if you come home with me?"
Wang Defa still had great trust in Shen Mingzhu, and immediately persuaded his relatives to go up and take a look, since they were already there.
For Wang Defa's sake, the man agreed.
The people in the family compound also wanted to go to Pei's house to find out what was going on, but were rejected by Shen Mingzhu on the grounds that it was inconvenient.
She was willing to spend the effort to prove herself because Wang Defa was her breadwinner. As for others, they could believe it or not.
After returning home, Shen Mingzhu invited Wang Defa and his relatives to sit on the sofa, made them tea, and then took out flour, eggs, sugar and oil to start making egg cakes.
An hour later, the hot egg cake came out of the oven, and the whole house was filled with a sweet fragrance.
Each plum blossom-shaped egg cake has an attractive golden crust. It is soft and sweet when you take a bite. You will want to eat more after eating it.
In order to save time, Shen Mingzhu only used four eggs and baked six egg cakes, and Wang Defa and his relatives each finished two.
After seeing it with their own eyes and tasting it with their own mouths, Wang Defa's relatives no longer had any concerns and immediately decided to order thirty kilograms.
A few days ago, Wang Defa ordered 20 kilograms of egg cake for his mother's birthday banquet, but it was not enough, so he simply ordered more.
After the deal was done, Shen Mingzhu warmly saw the two off, but when she opened the door, she found a lot of people standing outside.
Seeing her door open, everyone looked over.
Wang Defa had already learned from Shen Mingzhu about the misunderstandings that the people in the family compound had about her, and he immediately testified for her.
"We have seen with our own eyes that the Pei family's sister-in-law not only knows how to make egg cakes, but also makes them very delicious. If you need them in the future, you can ask her to order them."
