The child made noise every night, which prevented him from sleeping well and made him lose energy to work during the day.

"Just quit if you want to. Take your child home."

Jia Yuemei was so angry that she picked up a potato and threw it at Shen Xiangnan, "Are you still a man? You just let your wife be bullied like this."

Shen Xiangnan dodged quickly and was not hit by the potatoes, but the neatly stacked bowls behind him were knocked over and fell all over the floor with a crackling sound.

Shen Xiangnan glanced at the debris on the ground and became angry.

"Why are you making trouble with me? I told you to send the child back to her parents' home, but you didn't listen. Now you're anxious. It's all your own fault!"

Julie heard the noise and came into the kitchen. When she saw the broken bowl, she settled the score on the spot.

"Eight bowls were broken in total, and another twelve bowls had broken edges and could not be used anymore. That adds up to a total of twenty bowls. Each bowl costs thirty-eight cents, so a total of seven dollars and sixty cents. I will deduct that directly from your wages when the time comes."

Jia Yuemei was so angry that she jumped up and down.

…

"...Little sister, you have to make the decision for me. Zhu is just a worker. We are a family. If she fires me, doesn't it mean that she doesn't take you seriously?"

After Jia Yuemei finished crying, Shen Mingzhu calmly asked: "Manager Zhu wouldn't fire you for no reason, what's the reason?"

Jia Yuemei didn't dare to tell the truth, "What reason does she have? She just doesn't like me."

"Sister-in-law, if you want to reason with me, then tell me everything clearly. If you can't explain it clearly, then I can't help you."

Jia Yuemei had no choice but to tell them about the voting.

"It's all Liu Shuqin and her sister's fault. We had agreed to join Peng Ling, but they turned around and teamed up with Peng Ling to deal with me. They must have colluded in advance and wanted to kick me out!"

"Little sister, you have to be careful. That Zhu is not a good person. She drove our people away. Who knows what evil plans she might have."

Shen Mingzhu said calmly, "Second sister-in-law, if one person says you didn't do well, it may be her problem. If everyone thinks you didn't do well, then you have to look for your own reasons."

"To be honest, you don't have to worry about your livelihood now. You just need to focus on taking care of the baby. Isn't that much more comfortable than Yang Lizhen's life? Or are you tired of this good life?"

No matter how stupid Jia Yuemei was, she could hear the threat from Shen Mingzhu. She immediately accepted her fate, picked up her baby and walked away in shame.

…

It’s March in a blink of an eye.

In the evening, Shen Mingzhu packed Pei Yang's luggage for the trip to Chengdu.

This time when I go to Chengdu, in addition to participating in the annual National Food and Drinks Fair, I will also replace Du Juan in the branch company for a period of time.

I will stay there for almost a month, which is the season between late winter and early spring, so I have to bring a lot of luggage.

Pei Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, watching her clean up while talking about Du Juan and her husband's second child.

Pei Yang was so excited that he leaned forward and put his face close to Shen Mingzhu, "Wife, how about we have another child?"

Shen Mingzhu put the folded shirt into the suitcase without looking up. "If you want to have children, you can do it yourself. I have no objection to how many children you want to have."

"It would be great if I could have children." Pei Yang played with the straps of her pajamas. "Having more children at home would make it more lively."

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and pulled back her belt. "It's easy for you to say that. You're going to take care of the baby after it's born? Anyway, two children are enough for me. I don't have the energy to take care of more. If you want to have more children, you can find someone else to have one."

"What are you talking about!"

Pei Yang grabbed her belt and dragged her onto the bed, then turned over and pressed her down, "Don't say such things again. If I want to have a baby, I'll have it with you. If you don't want to have one, then we won't have one."

Under the light, the man's eyebrows and eyes were deep and gentle.

When Shen Mingzhu thought about being separated for a month, she couldn't help feeling reluctant.

She put one hand around the man's neck and touched the tip of his nose with the other hand, "Take good care of yourself when you go out. Also, remember your identity and keep your distance from the opposite sex."

Pei Yang touched hers with the tip of his nose and smiled charmingly, "Are you afraid that I'll be seduced away by other women?"

"If I'm not afraid anymore, you're done."

Shen Mingzhu laughed, "Mind your own business. If you dare to cheat on me, I will give you two."

"You dare?"

"Try and see if I dare."

Pei Yang pinched her cheek and bit her pouting lips as a punishment.

Shen Mingzhu felt pain, "Are you born in the year of the dog?"

"I am a wolf, the kind that eats people, ah~"

“Ahahaha…”

Listening to the playful sounds coming from the room, Pei Ziheng turned his head to look at his sister who was quietly leaning on his shoulder and sucking her thumb, then turned around and went back upstairs.

"Guoguo, is it okay for you to sleep with your brother tonight?"

"Okay, sleep with my brother."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Guoguo replied in a baby voice, her beautiful big eyes blinking.

…

At the end of March, Du Juan returned to Fengcheng with her child.

The two-month-old baby smells of milk, has small facial features and pink skin.

The moment Shen Mingzhu took the child, she seemed to be back to the time when she first became a mother, and her heart was filled with tenderness.

Guoguo was so fond of his younger brother who suddenly appeared at home that he stared at him without blinking.

"younger brother."

"Yes, this is my brother."

"Brother, brother."

Guoguo shouted and clapped his hands, as happy as if he had got a new toy.

Seeing that both mother and daughter like children, Du Juan smiled and joked: "Guoguo likes a younger brother so much, why don't you just give her one."

"Although Ziheng kisses you, he is still someone else's child. What if his family comes looking for you in the future? It's better to give Guoguo another brother while you are still young."

Shen Mingzhu was originally snapping her tongue to tease her nephew, but when she heard this, she immediately raised her head.

"Sister-in-law, please don't say such things again. In my heart, Ziheng is just like Guoguo, they are both my children. Even if his family comes looking for us, at most we will just recognize another relative. I raised Ziheng, I know his character."

Outside the door, Pei Ziheng listened quietly to the adults chatting in the living room, then turned around and walked back to the yard, deliberately making some noise.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the clock on the wall, lowered her head and said to her daughter, "Brother is back from school."

When Guoguo heard that his brother was back, he no longer cared about his younger brother and ran towards the door happily with his short legs.

"elder brother!"

Pei Ziheng squatted down, hugged the soft and sticky little man in his arms, and took out a lollipop like a magic trick.

Guoguo held the lollipop and smiled so hard that her big eyes narrowed into crescents.

"Little greedy ghost."

Pei Ziheng chuckled and scratched his sister's nose, then picked her up and walked into the house.

"Mom, aunt."

After saying hello, Pei Ziheng wanted to put Guoguo down. He went upstairs to put down his schoolbag and change clothes first. However, Guoguo held him and refused to let go, so he had to carry her upstairs.

Seeing the brother and sister being so intimate, Du Juan wanted to say something, but then she thought of Shen Mingzhu's words about treating Pei Ziheng as her own son, and swallowed her words back. (End of this chapter)
