After Shen Baolan left, Shen Mingzhu went to the kitchen to boil water for a bath. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw her stepson sitting on the sofa, staring at her with a pair of dark eyes.

"When we were in the room, Zhou Hao asked me a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Who did you learn how to make egg cake from?"

Shen Mingzhu was speechless about Shen Baolan's behavior of inquiring for information through Zhou Hao, but she was very curious about how her stepson answered Zhou Hao.

"I told him you learned it from books."

Shen Mingzhu praised him generously, "You got full marks for your answer. If Zhou Hao asks you anything next time, you should answer like this."

"Do I get a reward then?"

Hey, it seems that letting my stepson play with other children of the same age is really beneficial. He is much more active than before and even asks for rewards on his own initiative.

Shen Mingzhu asked excitedly, "What reward do you want?"

Pei Ziheng looked at her, his dark and bright eyes full of curiosity, "I also want to know who you learned how to make egg cake from."

That’s it?

Shen Mingzhu sat next to her stepson and made up a story in a coaxing tone, "As people get older, their knowledge, experience and wisdom will increase. But I am not an ordinary person. I am one of the few superhumans in the world. As I get older, I will gradually awaken some skills, such as cooking. You can also understand it this way. I learned how to make egg cakes by myself, but this is a secret, don't tell anyone else."

Pei Ziheng had an expression that said, "I'll just watch you perform quietly," and said, "Oh, then in your world, are there many people like you who can learn without a teacher?"

“…Hahahaha! Hahaha!”

Shen Mingzhu pretended to laugh, but she was actually terrified.

For the first time, she discovered that her stepson's eyes were as dark as black holes that swallowed everything.

For a moment, she almost thought that her stepson had seen through her secret.

But she quickly calmed down, "Xiao Heng, is this the new game you kids are playing recently? Then what world do you belong to?"

"I'm from hell."

Shen Mingzhu:!!!

He is indeed a born villain, with an anti-human demon gene in his bones.

"What about you?" Pei Ziheng persisted.

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to admit that one day she would be driven to a cold sweat by a four-year-old child.

"If you are from hell, then I am from heaven. As long as you are willing to be a good person, I will take you back with me when I return, and you can live in heaven and lead a happy life."

But, it was you who pushed me into hell in the first place, and now you say you want to take me to heaven to live happily.

That's ridiculous.

A woman's mouth is a lie.

Shen Mingzhu naturally didn't know what her stepson was thinking, but when she saw him remain silent and stop asking questions, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

——

Most of the cooks in the canteen are women. When a group of women work together, the topic naturally revolves around children and men.

Shen Baolan was a new bride and was thin-skinned. Every time people talked about matters between men and women, she would just listen silently and never dared to say anything.

But after hearing Shen Mingzhu talk about Pei Yang last night, she kept thinking about it and couldn't sleep well.

Today, while everyone was chatting, she blushed and quietly asked a woman next to her.

The man looked at her and smiled, "Hearing you ask this question, I know you don't have much experience."

Shen Baolan was shocked as if a new world had been opened up to her.

The man looked at her and asked, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

The man whispered into Shen Baolan's ear and described it with a smile.

Shen Baolan didn't know what to answer appropriately, so she could only reply vaguely four or five times.

Shen Baolan smiled awkwardly, but her heart felt as cold as a radish soaked in a basin of water.

Not even a month into the marriage, I'm told that my man is useless. Who can stand this?

But on second thought, she didn't marry Zhou Shuhuan for that kind of thing. She wanted Zhou Shuhuan to become successful in the future so that she could live a good life.

She always has one of the people and money, which makes her better than Shen Mingzhu.

No matter how good Pei Yang is in that aspect, he will be dead in less than half a year. By then, Shen Mingzhu will be left with nothing, and become a slut! Thinking of this, Shen Baolan felt much more balanced, but she still had some regrets.

It's like picking up a piece of precious jade by chance, only to find a crack on it when you get home.

It's a fly in the ointment after all.

After get off work, Pei Wenping went to the carport as usual, got on her motorcycle and prepared to go home. As soon as she left the carport, she ran into Wang Defa who also came to pick up his motorcycle after get off work.

Usually they would just nod to each other and walk away, but today Wang Defa specifically called Pei Wenping over.

After dinner, Shen Mingzhu found a sieve and prepared to sift the flour that would be used to bake the egg cake in two days. Before she started sifting, Pei Wenping came to her house.

"Auntie, what's the matter with you coming here so late?"

Looking at Pei Wenping's serious expression, Shen Mingzhu subconsciously thought that she had done something wrong again and the other party came to hold her accountable.

"Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

Although Pei Wenping was serious, her tone was gentle, which made Shen Mingzhu feel that Pei Wenping's anger was not directed at her.

Could it be that she had a fight at her husband's house and came back to her parents' house to seek comfort?

Shen Mingzhu hurriedly said that she had eaten, and then asked Pei Wenping with concern whether she had eaten. When she heard Pei Wenping say that she had eaten, Shen Mingzhu was about to take a cup to pour water for Pei Wenping, but was stopped by Pei Wenping.

"Sister-in-law, stop busying yourself. I'm not thirsty. Change your clothes and let's go out and do something."

Shen Mingzhu didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly went back to her room to change into clothes for going out.

When looking for clothes, she instinctively chose to wear pants instead of a skirt.

According to her woman's intuition, Pei Wenping was going to take her to fight someone, and wearing a skirt would affect her performance.

The aunt and sister-in-law went out, Pei Wenping led the way and Shen Mingzhu followed behind.

After going downstairs, Pei Wenping did not walk towards the gate of the family building, but walked towards the apartment building on the other side of the family compound.

Could it be that my elder sister-in-law has a grudge with the residents of the family compound?

"Big sister, where are we going?"

"Just ahead, the Zhou family."

When Shen Mingzhu heard the word "Zhou", she was startled and thought that it couldn't be Shen Baolan's in-laws.

"What are you going to do at Zhou's house?"

Pei Wenping glanced at her and said, "Let's settle the accounts!"
