Chapter 31 Shooting Yourself in the Foot



Shen Baolan never imagined that her quarrel with Pei Wenping not only failed to embarrass Pei Wenping, but she herself suffered a great loss.

Not only was she scolded by the manager for half an hour, but she was also asked to write a 500-word self-criticism.

Shen Baolan didn't dare tell her husband's family about this, but her silence didn't mean that others wouldn't tell others. Many people tipped off Ma Sufen.

When Shen Baolan got home from get off work, she was not only scolded by Ma Sufen, but also lectured by her father-in-law Zhou Quanxiong. However, her husband Zhou Shuhuan said nothing and didn't say a word to help her.

Shen Baolan was so aggrieved that she kept wiping away tears, but she could only swallow her grievance and tears.

She chose this path herself, who can she blame?

But seeing how much the elder sister-in-law Pei Wenping protects Shen Mingzhu, as a woman herself, how can I not feel sad and envious.

Shen Mingzhu, don't be so proud. My suffering is only temporary, but your hard days are yet to come!

Shen Baolan wiped away her tears and thought hatefully.

When Pei Wenping learned that Shen Mingzhu was having trouble selling mooncakes, she came to see her that night.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Shen Mingzhu, "How many mooncakes are left? Pack them all for me and I will buy them."

At this time, Shen Mingzhu thought that the people in the family compound had said some gossip again, and it reached Pei Wenping's ears.

"Big sister, you came at the right time. I was planning to send the mooncakes to you tomorrow."

After that, Shen Mingzhu took out all the mooncakes and introduced the different flavors to Pei Wenping one by one. "Take a few home and try them to see which flavor you like. I will bake two batches for you later."

Pei Wenping saw that the snow skin mooncakes were relatively fresh, so she opened one and took a bite. She immediately praised it.

“This mooncake is delicious!”

"I made this snow skin mooncake with mung bean filling. If you like other fillings, I can make some for you."

Pei Wenping ate and waved her hands, "No, this is delicious. Calculate how much these are and I'll buy them all for you."

Shen Mingzhu finally understood Pei Wenping's intention and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No need, big sister, you can take it back and eat it if you like. If you have a favorite flavor, tell me and I'll make more for you later. Or if you want to give it to someone, I can help you pack it in a paper box so that it's easier to give away."

Pei Wenping swallowed the last bite of mooncake and briefly told her about what Shen Baolan had done in the morning.

Shen Mingzhu was also a little annoyed after hearing this.

She could tolerate Shen Baolan's trouble with her, and she had already returned the goods to Shen Baolan, so why did she want to go to Pei Wenping to make trouble? Why was she so pushy?

"Sister, Shen Baolan didn't affect your work, did she?"

Pei Wenping sneered, "She doesn't have the ability to do that. I have worked in the cotton mill for so many years. Do you really think I am just eating for free?"

Upon learning that Shen Baolan was scolded by her leader and had to write a self-criticism, Shen Mingzhu finally felt relieved. However, she still thought that she had to find an opportunity to teach Shen Baolan a lesson, otherwise she would be so annoyed by her constant unreasonable behavior.

The next day, Pei Wenping brought a bag of mooncakes and placed two on each leader's desk. There were still a few left after putting them around, so she shared them with her colleagues in the office.

Since the mooncakes are indeed better than those bought outside, colleagues in the office all ordered some to save Pei Wenping's face.

Pei Wenping completed the registration one by one.

As for Shen Mingzhu, since she gave all the mooncakes to Pei Wenping, she did not go out to the stall and read books at home all day.

She was still quite devastated by the fact that she didn't sell any mooncakes, and she didn't want to get into any more trouble because of selling mooncakes, so she simply decided not to do the mooncake business.

As a result, Pei Wenping brought her a lot of orders that night. Before leaving, she asked her to bake more and said that she would also let her husband Chen Yi take them to the unit to help her sell them.

With such a supportive sister-in-law, Shen Mingzhu can't give up even if she wants to.

Okay, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.

After staying up all night, Shen Mingzhu made all the mooncakes ordered by the cotton mill employees. After sending Pei Ziheng to kindergarten, she bought gift boxes, packed the mooncakes one by one, and delivered them to the cotton mill personally.

Pei Wenping was a careful person. She could tell at a glance that Shen Mingzhu was exhausted from makeup. She said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? You can bake slowly during the day. No one is rushing you."

Although she was physically tired, Shen Mingzhu was in very good spirits. "I couldn't sleep last night, so I just stayed up all night to make it."

Pei Wenping looked doting on her, as if she couldn't do anything with her, and asked her if she had done more.

Shen Mingzhu nodded quickly, "I made five more of each flavor. I didn't have enough ingredients, so I could only make these first. I'll make some more and send them to your house after I buy the ingredients."

"No need to send it to me. I'll pick it up at your house tomorrow and bring the money to you."

After watching Shen Mingzhu leave, Pei Wenping wanted to ask the security guard to help bring the mooncakes into the office, but on second thought, she changed her mind and ran to the cafeteria to borrow a pallet truck.

The people in the cafeteria saw her borrowing a pallet truck and casually asked her what it was for.

Pei Wenping deliberately said in a voice that everyone could hear, "It's nothing, just moving some mooncakes. The factory leader thought the mooncakes made by my sister-in-law tasted good, so he ordered some from me. My sister-in-law just delivered them to me, and there were too many for me to carry alone, so I came to borrow the pallet truck and will return them to you after use."

Everyone in the cafeteria knew that Shen Baolan had made a scene with Pei Wenping because the mooncakes were too expensive, but Pei Wenping sold a whole cart of them right away, and the buyers were all leaders.

Just tell me, is it shameful for you, Shen Baolan? For three cents, you have lost all your face and dignity. Is it worth it?

After suffering a double blow from her superiors and her in-laws, Shen Baolan showed no temper at all when faced with Pei Wenping's provocation and slap in the face. She kept her head down and said nothing, but she was not convinced in her heart.

If she hadn't looked down on Pei Yang, Shen Mingzhu wouldn't have had such good luck to meet such a good sister-in-law like Pei Wenping.

Although Shen Mingzhu did not deliberately publicize the fact that she sold mooncakes, she was constantly going in and out, delivering goods and buying flour, sugar beans, and everyone guessed that she had made a fortune in business and was extremely envious.

When the news reached Ma Sufen, she couldn't understand why people would buy such expensive mooncakes. Wouldn't it be better to buy meat with the money? Would eating such expensive mooncakes make one feel like going to heaven or something? Usually, Shen Mingzhu would pick up Pei Ziheng from the kindergarten, buy some vegetables at the vegetable market, and then go home. But today, after buying vegetables, she asked Pei Ziheng to take them home first, while she sat by the flower bed at the gate of the family compound, chatting with a few elders while waiting for someone.

Just after 6 o'clock, Shen Baolan rode her bicycle into the staff quarters.

Shen Mingzhu patted her butt and went forward.
