"Here is exactly 10,000, please order."

Although she knew that Pei Wenping had a lot of private money, Shen Mingzhu still couldn't hide her surprise when Pei Wenping put ten thousand yuan in front of her.

"Sister, where did you get so much money?"

Pei Wenping divided the money into two parts, explaining, "These three thousand are mine, and the other seven thousand was left with me by Chen Yi when he left. They are all the income from his creations over the years. He wanted me to save them as an education fund for Xiaolu and Xiaochao."

Although the tumor surgery at the beginning of the year was successful, Pei Wenping's inner worries and anxieties were always there.

As a mother, she had to prepare for the worst.

If I invest this ten thousand yuan and make a profit, it will be great and the future of my two children will be guaranteed.

If we fail, with my brother and sister-in-law's abilities and skills, they will definitely be able to make a comeback in the future.

"Mingzhu, I've thought about it. Instead of putting the money in the bank and earning the interest, I'd rather give it to you as an investment and let the money make money."

She paused, and looked at Shen Mingzhu with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "You know my physical condition. If anything happens to me, I just hope that you and Pei Yang can take care of my two siblings."

"Sister, don't be so discouraged. Your operation was successful. You will live a long life."

Pei Wenping smiled bitterly, "I think so. I'm not greedy for a hundred years. I'll be satisfied if I can live past fifty."

Shen Mingzhu is a mother herself and can understand Pei Wenping's thoughts very well.

If you put yourself in her shoes, if it was her who had a tumor, she might be more anxious than Pei Wenping.

"Sister, let's make a promise. As long as we live one day, we will do our best to take care of the four children."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Pei Wenping nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of gratitude.

According to the company's current valuation, Shen Mingzhu gave Pei Wenping a 6.6% equity stake.

…

Half a month later, the bank loan was successfully issued.

Fushun Bakery Factory was officially renamed Meiyi Food Co., Ltd.

When the news reached the family compound, Shen Mingzhu once again became the focus of everyone's discussion.

But unlike the gossip in the past, now the family compound is full of praise and compliments for her.

It is said that the Pei family is very happy to have married a capable and prosperous daughter-in-law like Shen Mingzhu.

While everyone was talking, Shen Baolan sat quietly aside holding her chubby son.

Listening to everyone enthusiastically discussing Shen Mingzhu's glorious deeds of buying the Fushun Bakery, my mood felt like the old sauerkraut that had been soaked in the pot for hundreds of years, sour and bitter.

She couldn't figure it out.

She clearly snatched away Shen Mingzhu's good marriage, so why did Shen Mingzhu still live a good life?

They are all stepmothers, but Shen Mingzhu can do so many things, and do them all well, while she can only spend the whole day around the stove, the elderly and the children.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been better than Shen Mingzhu in every way. If Shen Mingzhu can make money, why can't she?

Shen Mingzhu's success once again aroused Shen Baolan's competitive spirit.

She also wants to go out to work and earn money! But she has no say in this matter alone, and her in-laws have to agree.

My son is less than one year old and needs someone to take care of him.

The Zhou family did not stop Shen Baolan from going out to work.

Both of them are old, and there are two grandchildren in the family. Their daughter-in-law can go out to earn money, and their son has less pressure.

However, Shen Baolan has to find a job on her own, and her parents will no longer support her with money or effort for her work.

When Shen Baolan first entered the cotton mill, the Zhou family went to great lengths to get her help, both by asking for favors and by giving gifts.

As a result, Shen Baolan was fired just a few months after she started, and she caused a lot of mess.

…

"Shen Mingzhu!"

Shen Mingzhu had just left the factory on her motorcycle when she heard someone calling her.

After not seeing her for half a year, Shen Baolan looked like she had aged several years. Her face was a little swollen, her figure was out of shape, and her face looked tired and haggard.

While Shen Mingzhu was looking at Shen Baolan, Shen Baolan was also looking at her.

She has a palm-sized face, delicate and beautiful features, fair and translucent skin that glows like a pearl in the sunlight, long black hair draped behind her head, a butterfly-shaped gem hairpin on her ear, and the hem of her light green dress fluttering in the wind.

Although she had given birth to a baby, Shen Mingzhu was even more beautiful and tender than when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, just like the peach blossoms blooming on the branches in early spring.

And he also rode a Mulan motorcycle.

The Mulan motorcycle is small and light, and can be said to be the dream car of every woman in this era.

After feeling the huge gap between the two people up close, Shen Baolan felt a surge of jealousy.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Mingzhu said in a bad tone.

Shen Baolan cleared her throat uncomfortably, "I heard your factory is hiring, I want to come to work."

Shen Mingzhu almost laughed out of anger, but at the same time she admired Shen Baolan's shamelessness and courage.

"Shen Baolan, our factory is hiring, but we are not hiring people with bad conduct."

Shen Baolan's face changed, "What do you mean? I have bad character?"

"Not to mention the gossip you spread about me behind my back, you've also spread rumors, slandered me, thrown dirty water, and stirred up trouble. Haven't you done enough of these? Shen Baolan, don't you have any self-awareness? Why do you think that after all the bad things you've done to me, I will still let bygones be bygones and hire you to work in the factory?"

Shen Baolan's face turned red and white when she was scolded.

"Shen Mingzhu, do you think you are a good person? When we had a fight as kids, you threw a stone at me and broke my head! You also pushed me into a ditch. If it weren't for the villagers passing by, I would have almost drowned!"

These were done by the original owner and have nothing to do with her.

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Since we have such a deep grudge, let's never have anything to do with each other again. Don't come to me in the future. I will never let you enter the factory anyway."

Shen Baolan gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Mingzhu, even though we have been fighting since we were young, we are from the same village after all. Don't you want to remember our old friendship?"

"There is only hatred between us, no love."

After saying that, Shen Mingzhu got on his motorcycle and left.

She was in a hurry to go to the new factory to check the progress of the renovation, so she didn't have much free time to waste with Shen Baolan.

Shen Baolan stared at her back as she rode away on her bike, her face full of resentment.

If she hadn't been forced to do so, she wouldn't have wanted to bow to Shen Mingzhu.

She was originally full of confidence, thinking that with a junior high school diploma and a city hukou, it would not be difficult to find a job.

But ideas are very rich, and reality is too skinny.

In the past half month, she has read every job advertisement in the newspaper and ran through the streets and labor markets, but she still can't find a job that suits her.

When she joined the company, people looked down on her because she had a low degree and no special skills.

When she entered the factory, she had no work experience and no acquaintances to introduce her, so the factory refused to accept her.

The only jobs she could find were washing dishes in the kitchen or cleaning.

Not only is the work tiring and hard, but the salary is also low.

Seeing that she couldn't find a job, her mother-in-law Ma Sufen scolded her for being useless every day and even threatened that if she couldn't find a job before the end of the month, she would not be allowed to look for a job and would have to stay at home to take care of the children from then on.

She had no other choice but to shamelessly come to Shen Mingzhu for help.

"Shen Mingzhu, things will change over time, let's just wait and see!"

Shen Baolan spat at the food factory's sign, then turned away in annoyance.

When Shen Baolan returned to Zhou's house, her mother-in-law Ma Sufen asked her sharply as soon as she entered the door: "You came back so early, have you found a job?"

"not yet."

Seeing Ma Sufen's face darken, Shen Baolan hurried forward and tried to please her carefully: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find a job. When I make money, I will give it all to you for safekeeping."

Ma Sufen had been bored with her rhetoric for half a month and had long lost her patience.

The words were extremely harsh and sarcastic, "Humph, forget it, don't look for it, you are not the kind of person who can make money. Fortunately, our family does not rely on you to make money, otherwise we would all starve to death!" (End of this chapter)
