Who would have thought that in just a few years, Wang Hongcheng went from being a prosperous private boss to a prisoner.
Wang Defa felt guilty towards his ancestors and also felt sorry for Shen Mingzhu.
After all, what Wang Hongcheng did was really disgraceful.
After Wang Hongcheng's verdict came down, Wang Defa told Pei Wenping about it and asked Pei Wenping to apologize to Shen Mingzhu.
"...Wang Hongcheng was sentenced to eight years."
Hearing that Wang Hongcheng got what he deserved, Shen Mingzhu felt relieved but also felt emotional.
Back then, when she was selling mooncakes in the staff housing estate, everyone secretly laughed at her and thought it was impossible for her to make any money.
It was Wang Hongcheng who extended her an olive branch at the right time, which not only enabled her to earn money, but also allowed her to gain a foothold in the staff housing estate.
If Wang Hongcheng had not been too greedy and made the decision without leaving her any chance of survival, she would still be willing to give him some face.
"Mom, Dad, Auntie hasn't come to our house for a long time. Is she sick?"
Pei Ziheng suddenly said this out of the blue.
Shen Mingzhu looked at her son, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Your aunt didn't come because she was busy with work at the end of the year. How can it be related to illness? Don't say such things next time. It's impolite."
Pei Ziheng pursed his lips and nodded.
Although she lectured her son verbally, Shen Mingzhu secretly thought that she would go to visit Pei Wenping when she had time.
When she had just given birth to Guoguo, Pei Wenping took care of everything inside and outside of her.
After she finished her confinement, Pei Wenping would come over whenever she had time and helped her a lot.
However, in the past two months, Pei Wenping has come much less frequently.
She is not a person who only takes without giving. Just based on the care Pei Wenping has given her and their family, she should also care more about her.
…
After dinner, Yan's father called Yan Su to the study and severely criticized her for running into the mountains without saying a word in the middle of winter.
"...Look at how heavy the snow is outside. If you had entered the mountain a day later, you might not have been able to get out!"
Yan Su lowered his head and dared not to argue.
In the living room, Yan's mother looked towards the study room worriedly, unable to hide the worry on her face.
Over the years, my daughter has been immersed in the grief of her son-in-law's death and has not been able to get over it. She has only felt a little better in the past two years. Don't let her husband scold her and she will become autistic again.
Yan Yi stood up: "Mom, don't worry too much, I'll go take a look."
Yan's mother's expression relaxed, "Okay, Xiaoyi, you should persuade your father more. It's a blessing that your sister is fine. Why is he scolding her?"
The last sentence contained a hint of complaint.
Yan Yi asked the servant to make a cup of calming tea and personally brought it to the study.
As soon as I walked to the door of the study, I heard Yan Su's voice -
"Dad, I want to build a school."
The strict father looked at his daughter for a long time without saying anything, obviously not following Yan Su's train of thought.
Yan Yi knocked on the door and went in. He placed the hot tea in front of his father and turned to ask Yan Su, "What kind of school are you planning to build?"
“Public welfare schools help children who cannot afford to go to school, allowing them to go to school for free.”
Yan Yi nodded in agreement and said, "It's a good idea, but running a school requires a lot of funds, and it requires long-term investment without any return. Have you thought of a solution to this problem? Although your family can give you some support, you still have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
Yan Su nodded, and said firmly, "I am going to work in my brother-in-law's company. I will find a way to make money."
Hearing this, not only Yan Yi was surprised, even his father, who was drinking tea with his head down, raised his head and looked at his daughter, with a hint of surprise on his face, which was intimidating without being angry.
This daughter has become a disabled person since the death of her second son-in-law.
Although he has gotten better in the past two years, he still stays at home all day and has no ambition to make progress. So he figured he could afford to support him and planned to keep him for life.
Now that I have come back from a trip to the mountains, I feel like a new person.
Not only did he offer to work, he also wanted to build a school.
That's a good thing.
Seeing the brother and sister coming out of the study one after another safely, Yan's mother in the living room breathed a sigh of relief.
When she learned that Yan Su Nian was going to work at Hengxing and wanted to build a school, her mother was so happy that she almost cried.
Like Yan's father, Yan's mother has also been worried about her daughter over the years, fearing that her daughter will never be able to get over the shadow and pain of her son-in-law's death.
In order to support Yan Su in building a school, Yan's mother agreed to sponsor half of her private money.
Although Yan's mother is not a billionaire like Yan Jing, she is also from a prominent family and has a considerable dowry. In addition, as the mistress of the Yan family, she holds a considerable portion of the family's private property.

After accumulating for so many years, it is a huge fortune that is enough to make people envious.
…
Back on the second floor, Yan Yi called Yan Su in a gentle voice, "Sister, let's go to my study and talk."
Yan Su agreed.
"Xiao Yi, I know what you want to ask."
As soon as he entered the room, Yan Su spoke directly, "After I came down the mountain yesterday, I met Qingqing and Mingzhu."
Yan Su's address to Shen Mingzhu made Yan Yi raise his eyebrows slightly.
In the past, Yan Su always called Shen Mingzhu by her full name, but tonight he addressed Shen Mingzhu with significantly more intimacy.
Yan Su told Yan Yi about her experience of drinking with Shen Mingzhu and Zhong Qing last night, having supper together, and listening to Shen Mingzhu singing.
“…She told me that no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident, so it’s better to live in the present and take care of the happiness of the present.”
"She also said that I should always take care of myself first. She said I could do something meaningful to commemorate Mu Sheng and consider it as something that Mu Sheng and I accomplished together."
"The most regrettable thing in Mu Sheng's life is that his eldest sister, who was illiterate, accidentally gave his father the wrong medicine, which led to his father's death."
"I think if he knew about this, he would agree with my idea of building a school to prevent the same tragedy from happening to other families."
"Xiaoyi, I will never indulge in sadness again. I will do my best to do something meaningful."
Yan Yi rubbed his forehead, feeling relieved that Yan Su was able to come to terms with it, but also helpless that as a psychological expert, he was not as effective as Shen Mingzhu's words.
The reason why he chose psychology as his research direction was also because he wanted to help his sister get over her pain.
Indeed, Shen Mingzhu's ability to persuade Yan Su was also due to her luck in having the right time, place and people.
After all, seven years have passed, and seven years itself is a hurdle in a relationship.
Be it love or pain, it’s time to let go after seven years.
"Xiao Yi, I understand why you look at Ming Zhu differently. She is really a very special person. She has a kind of warmth and tenacity, just like the sun. Anyone who is close to her will be healed."
Yan Yi was silent.
She does have this kind of charm. Her cheerful, optimistic and positive attitude towards life can easily infect people around her.
…
The next day, when she arrived at the factory and finished her work, Shen Mingzhu wrapped herself in a cotton jacket and scarf, picked up the box of snacks she had prepared, and prepared to go see Pei Wenping.
As soon as I walked out of the food factory gate, a burgundy BMW car slowly stopped in front of the food factory.
