"Mingzhu, I want to ask you something. Are there any of those who drive cars who are still married? It doesn't matter if they are older."

Shen Mingzhu understood Yu Jin'e's thoughts as soon as she heard them. "No, they all have families."

Yu Jin'e was a little disappointed. "Our Hongmei is already 26 this year. She has been helping you with things for the past two years and has even delayed her lifelong event. When will you help her find a partner? We don't have any other requirements, but she must have a city hukou and a house at home."

"Just someone like your Pei Yang will do."

Shen Mingzhu could still tolerate Yu Jin'e's first few sentences.

After all, Shen Hongmei has good conditions, a high income, and is ambitious. If Yu Jin'e hadn't mentioned it, she would not have let Shen Hongmei marry back to the countryside.

It’s not that she discriminates against the countryside, but the current social background and environment determine that there are huge differences between rural people and urban people in all aspects.

Considering Shen Hongmei's long-term future, it would definitely be best for her to marry into the city.

But Yu Jin'e actually compared him to Pei Yang.

Pei Yang is far superior to Shen Hongmei in terms of ability and position. And all the male guests who came to the banquet in cars are of prominent backgrounds, so it is not possible for an old country woman like you to be picky.

"Aunt Jin'e, this is not a vegetable market, and I'm not holding a son-in-law selection banquet for your family today. If you really want to come to celebrate my birthday, I welcome you. If you have other intentions, I'm sorry, and please get out of here."

"Qiuxia, see the guests off for me."

"yes!"

Pei Qiuxia had been holding back her anger for a long time. Upon hearing this, she walked over and took Yu Jin'e to the hotel entrance.

Yu Jin'e turned around unwillingly and wanted to call Shen Mingzhu, but Pei Qiuxia pinched her arm and said, "Aunt Jin'e, please don't yell. You've ruined today's birthday party and made my cousin unhappy. It's uncertain whether Sister Hongmei can keep her position as a manager."

These words hit Yu Jin'e's vital point.

It’s not a big deal if the eldest daughter can’t get married, but it’s a big loss if she loses her job!

She also hoped to rely on her eldest daughter's big money to build a new house for the family.

"Girl, please help me talk to Mingzhu, and I won't mention this again in the future, okay?"

"Aunt Jin'e, my cousin has no relationship with your family, so it's not appropriate to call her Mingzhu. Please respectfully call her Ms. Shen next time you see her."

Yu Jin'e smiled awkwardly and said, "I know Mingzhu is a big boss now, but I also watched her grow up..."

"If it weren't for our hometown ties, you wouldn't even be able to enter the hotel today."

No matter how hard Yu Jin'e tried to persuade Pei Qiuxia, she was finally left outside the hotel.

She didn't dare, nor was she thick-skinned enough to force her way in, so she could only endure the cold while trying to find someone to pass on a message to her eldest daughter.

…

Shen Hongju received the news first, and immediately hurried to find Shen Hongmei, "Sister, Mom was kicked out..."

Shen Hongmei was a little surprised, but after hearing the whole story, she calmed down.

She found a cotton coat and asked Shen Hongju to give it to Yu Jin'e.

"Sister, don't you care about our mother?"

Shen Hongju was puzzled.

Shen Hongmei was a little annoyed. "What can I do? She's such a grown-up, doesn't she know what day it is? She even forgets her last name when someone compliments her."

"Let her go outside and get some fresh air, so she can wake up!"

Shen Hongju gave the cotton coat away and also relayed Shen Hongmei's original words truthfully.

Yu Jin'e was angry and ashamed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only wrap herself in a cotton coat and regret in secret in the cold wind.

…

The news that Yu Jin'e was "asked" to leave the restaurant quickly spread among the people of Shenjiagou.

Some people laughed at the joke, while others sighed with emotion.

But everyone reached a common understanding, that is, things are different now. Shen Mingzhu, the sparrow that flew out from Shenjiagou, has become a real phoenix and is no longer on the same level as them.

Otherwise, you will become the second Yu Jin'e.

I have to say that Shen Mingzhu's move of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was quite effective.

However, there are also people who do not believe in evil.

"Aunt Jin'e, Shen Mingzhu has become rich now, and he looks down on the folks in Shenjiagou. He actually treats you like this."

"You don't know how many people are laughing at your family behind your back."

"If it were me, I would rush in and make a scene with her. She didn't even show you any mercy, so you don't have to show her any."

Yu Jin'e squinted at Shen Baolan and said, "Baolan, I am old, but I am not mentally damaged. My daughter Hongmei works for Mingzhu and can earn nearly 2,000 yuan a year. This little injustice is nothing to me."

"As for you, what are you thinking? It's your business if you have a problem with Mingzhu. Don't expect to use me as a tool."

After her attempt to instigate the conflict failed, Shen Baolan prepared to go back to the hotel in disappointment.

It snowed last night and it was freezing outside the station.

As a result, as soon as he stepped half way into the hotel gate, he was stopped by Pei Qiuxia.

"My cousin's wife said that Aunt Jin'e is lonely outside alone, so you should continue chatting with Aunt Jin'e outside, and don't go in."

Shen Baolan glared at Pei Qiuxia who was trying to stop her. "My family gave me a gift money. Why don't you let me in? Get out of the way! Otherwise, I'll start to make a scene and we'll see who will lose face."

"My cousin's wife has booked a private room for you in the teahouse next door. You and Aunt Jin'e can chat as much as you want. You can even have a cup of hot tea when you get tired."

"When the meal starts later, my cousin's wife will arrange for someone to deliver the food to you. Please come in."

After saying that, Pei Qiuxia called two waiters and dragged Shen Baolan to the teahouse next to the hotel.

Yu Jin'e was also "invited" over.

The second floor of the hotel.

Shen Mingzhu stood in front of the window, watching the scene coldly.

She had been preparing for today's birthday party for nearly two months and would never give anyone the chance to sabotage it.

After the news that Shen Baolan was "invited" to leave the birthday party spread, there were different opinions.

Everyone in the family compound was cursing Shen Baolan, saying she deserved it.

Although Ma Sufen was angry at her daughter-in-law for being so troublesome, she still felt embarrassed, so she took her grandson to find Zhou Shuhuan and told him about it.

He wanted Zhou Shuhuan to intercede and at least let his daughter-in-law sit at the table.

Otherwise, when they return from the banquet, the people in the staff quarters will laugh at the Zhou family.

Zhou Shuhuan dismissed Ma Sufen with a perfunctory remark, turned around, and looked at Pei Yang, who was in high spirits in the crowd, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He had a dream some time ago.

A very long dream.

In the dream, Shen Mingzhu married him, and Shen Baolan married Pei Yang.

Half a year later, Pei Yang died in a shipwreck, and Shen Baolan became a widow.

After being sad for a while over his brother's early death, he picked himself up and started a business again.

This time, he succeeded.

He earned a lot of money, bought a big house, drove a car, and lived happily with Shen Mingzhu.

Everything in the dream was so real. That feeling of happiness didn’t seem like a dream at all, but more like his real life.

After waking up, he sat on the bed and smoked half a pack of cigarettes, and finally realized that he couldn't waste his time like this anymore. (End of this chapter)
