Seeing their son and daughter-in-law coming home, the old couple Ma Sufen immediately went up to them with concern.
"How's it going? Have they signed the contract?"
"Signed!" Shen Baolan responded quickly.
Ma Sufen immediately smiled with joy, and Zhou Quanxiong also showed a relieved and satisfied smile.
After seeing the terms of the agreement with his own eyes, Zhou Quanxiong felt relieved.
"Xiao Pei is quite righteous and returned your shares in the electronics factory to you."
Ma Sufen curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "He is really kind and righteous. He shouldn't have taken the 500,000 yuan. He really had the guts to ask for it!"
"Don't be greedy. After all, Xiao Pei spent real money to help Shu Huan set up the factory. Now the electronics factory is flourishing. They are willing to give in voluntarily. What else do you want?"
"They shouldn't give so much. In my opinion, giving them 100,000 or 80,000 yuan would be enough to do them justice!"
"The money has already been given, what's the point of you saying this now?"
"I think those two are worthless!"
Seeing that the two old people were about to quarrel, Shen Baolan hurriedly tried to mediate, "Dad, Mom, it's a great event that we got the shares back, we have to celebrate it properly, let's find a big restaurant to have a good meal, and then go to Ruifeng Garden to see the new house, how about it?"
"I want to eat seafood! Mom, I want to eat big crabs and lobsters!"
When he heard that they were going out to eat, Zhou Fu immediately started shouting at the top of his voice.
Although Shen Baolan spoils her son, seafood is so expensive that she is reluctant to spend the money.
"I can't make the decision on this matter, go talk to your dad!"
Zhou Fu was also smart. He ran to Zhou Shuhuan and hugged his legs and acted like a spoiled child. "Dad, my brother had a lot of delicious food in the capital, including big crabs and lobsters. I want to eat some too! I want to eat some too!"
Zhou Shuhuan had no feelings for his son Zhou Fu.
From the time Zhou Fu was born until now, he had only hugged him a few times, nor had he witnessed his growth.
However, Zhou Fu was his blood after all, and the request was not excessive, so Zhou Shuhuan readily agreed.
So the family happily got in Zhou Shuhuan's Santana and went to Jinzhao Seafood Restaurant to have a seafood dinner. After the meal, they went to Ruifengyuan to look at houses.
When she learned of Shen Baolan's last name, the saleswoman smiled and said, "What a coincidence! A while ago, a Ms. Shen also came to see this house."
Shen Baolan didn't care too much about it. There were so many people with the surname Shen, and there were dozens of households in her family.
Ma Sufen asked curiously, "Also surnamed Shen? What does he do?"
"He said he runs a food factory."
When Shen Baolan heard about the food factory, she became interested. "Is her name Shen Mingzhu?"
The house seller was a little surprised, "Do you know each other?"
"Is it really Shen Mingzhu?!"
Knowing that Shen Mingzhu also liked this house, even Zhou Quanxiong and Zhou Shuhuan, father and son, were surprised.
"Ms. Shen really likes this house. She looked at it several times. She even called me yesterday to make an appointment. She said she would come to see the house today and decide on it. If you like it, you'd better hurry up."
Shen Mingzhu did call and made an appointment to view the house, but she called again at noon to cancel it.
In order to create the illusion that houses were in short supply, the real estate agent deliberately concealed this information.
This is a common practice in the sales industry.
When Shen Baolan heard that Shen Mingzhu was coming to buy a house in the afternoon, she became nervous.
"Dad, Mom, Shuhuan, let's buy this house. It's big and airy, has lots of rooms, and is in a good location."
The most important thing is that Shen Mingzhu likes this house.
If Shen Mingzhu knew that the house was taken away by her, wouldn't she be so angry that she died? Thinking of this, Shen Baolan was so happy that her teeth were exposed.
Zhou Shuhuan was of course clear about Shen Baolan's purpose, which was simply to go against Shen Mingzhu on purpose.
For some unspeakable psychological reason, he did not expose Shen Baolan's little tricks, but decided to buy the place and paid a deposit.
After paying the deposit, Zhou Shuhuan left early because of something else.
Shen Baolan took Zhou Fu and the two old people, Ma Sufen, and refused to leave, using the excuse of discussing the decoration of their new home.
She wanted to wait for Shen Mingzhu to come and see with her own eyes how angry Shen Mingzhu was.
But he waited and waited, from afternoon till dusk, but there was no sign of Shen Mingzhu.
…
“Bang, bang, bang.”
Shen Mingzhu's family had just prepared dinner and were setting the table.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, Pei Tang was the first to jump off the stool and ran out with his short legs, shouting "I'll go open the door."
Pei Ziheng stood up and followed him out.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the brother and sister with amusement, then went back to the kitchen to serve the dishes with peace of mind.
"Mom, someone is looking for you—"
Hearing her daughter shouting outside, Shen Mingzhu put the plate of food on the dining table and walked across the living room to the yard.
"Shen Mingzhu!"

What is this crazy woman doing here again?
Seeing Shen Baolan blocked outside the iron fence, Shen Mingzhu was secretly puzzled.
Years ago, Pei Yang reinforced the walls and the courtyard gate. The courtyard gate used to be made of wood, but now it has been replaced with a double-layer security door, with an iron fence on the outside and an anti-theft iron door on the inside.
"Shen Mingzhu, why didn't you go to Ruifeng Garden to look at houses this afternoon?"
"It's all about you..."
After taking a look at the daughter who was clinging to the iron fence and curiously looking at Shen Baolan, Shen Mingzhu's words turned into: "...What's the matter?"
Shen Baolan didn't have the nerve to say that she had been waiting in Ruifeng Garden for an entire afternoon. If she did, Shen Mingzhu would laugh at her to death.
"Nothing. I heard that you also want to buy Ruifeng Garden. When do you plan to buy a house? Let's go together. I'll help you with some advice."
"Let's see after some time. I've been busy these past few days."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Having been turned away, Shen Baolan knocked on the door again unwillingly, before she could finish her words.
She came here specifically to tell Shen Mingzhu that the house in Ruifeng Garden had been bought by her family. She wanted to piss Shen Mingzhu off to death! But she took pictures for a long time and Shen Mingzhu didn't come to open the door, so she could only leave in frustration.
…
At home.
Shen Mingzhu was sitting on the sofa making a phone call while Pei Tang and Pei Ziheng were waiting for her at the dining table.
Pei Tang whispered to Pei Ziheng, "Brother, why doesn't mom care about that aunt outside?"
"That auntie is not a good person. She is here to cause trouble for mom."
"oh."
Pei Tang seemed to understand, but his attitude was quite firm, "This aunt is mean, I won't pay any attention to her in the future!"
"good."
Pei Tang smiled happily, sat up straight, looked at the delicious dishes on the table, and swallowed hard.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
The little adorable baby has a delicate and pretty face like a doll, with his fair forehead resting on the edge of the table. His voice is soft and tender, and he is indescribably lovable.
Pei Ziheng's heart almost melted, and he coaxed her softly, "Be patient, wait for mom to come and we'll eat together."
"Well, wait for mom!"
Pei Yang was not at home today because he had an engagement, so the mother and her two children had dinner together.
On this side, after talking to the person selling the house on the phone, Shen Mingzhu finally understood the purpose of Shen Baolan's visit.
If it was a day ago, and the house she liked was snatched away by Shen Baolan, she would probably be very angry.
But now, she has no interest in buying a house anymore, and she wants to sell it to whoever wants.
Shen Mingzhu got up and prepared to go to the dining room to eat. She had only taken two steps when the phone rang. (End of this chapter)
