Seeing Liu Cuihua waving at her outside the gate of the staff quarters, Shen Baolan felt happy and quickly got up and walked out.

"What's up? Is Shen Mingzhu mad to death?"

Hearing her daughter's question, Liu Cuihua nodded hurriedly and told Shen Baolan in detail what she had seen and heard.

When Shen Mingzhu was surrounded by people from Shenjiagou asking for money, Liu Cuihua hid in the dark and watched the show.

Upon learning that Shen Mingzhu had paid for dinner for those who had borrowed money from her, and then assigned work to each of them, keeping them busy for the entire afternoon, Shen Baolan grinned.

Although Shen Mingzhu did not lend the money, she achieved her purpose of making things difficult for Shen Mingzhu.

However, Liu Cuihua still felt it was not enough and was still upset about Shen Mingzhu taking 500,000 yuan from Zhou Shuhuan.

"I'll go back to my parents' home tomorrow and spread the word for her! She's capable, and when people from all over the village come knocking on her door, I'll see if she can handle it."

Shen Baolan was naturally happy to hear this.

As long as she could make Shen Mingzhu unhappy, she would feel happy.

After the mother and daughter were secretly happy, Liu Cuihua talked about another matter, "Your elder brother and sister-in-law want to open a snack bar, but they don't have enough money. You can talk to your son-in-law and ask him to help out a little."

"Wait for a while. Shuhuan is short of money right now. He just bought a house and hasn't found the money for the renovation yet. If I don't give Shen Mingzhu and her husband 500,000 yuan, I will at least let Shuhuan give my eldest brother 100,000 or 80,000 yuan..."

Shen Baolan's bragging was not taxable, but Liu Cuihua took it to heart.

She felt that Shen Mingzhu was preventing her son and daughter-in-law from making a lot of money, and her resentment towards Shen Mingzhu deepened.

Although she was angry, Liu Cuihua did not forget her business. "I'm telling you, you have to be more careful. Your son-in-law is alone in Focheng now. Don't let him get entangled by some shady woman."

Speaking of this, Shen Baolan was also annoyed.

Zhou Shuhuan left for Focheng yesterday. She wanted to go with him, but Zhou Shuhuan didn't let her go and asked her to stay at home to take care of her parents-in-law and two children.

"You are stupid, don't you learn from Shen Mingzhu and find a nanny to take care of the old couple, and keep Zhou Hao at home as well? You can take Yuanbao with you and live a leisurely life with your son-in-law and his family of three. The father and son will live together every day and have a deep relationship. Won't they get a bigger share of the family property in the future?"

Shen Baolan suddenly had an epiphany and decided to do as Liu Cuihua said.

…

The next day, before Shen Mingzhu had even finished her breakfast, Qin Jinlian came with Erya.

As early as when she knew that Shen Mingzhu had earned 500,000 yuan from Zhou Shuhuan, she went to look for her once, but came back empty-handed because Shen Mingzhu was still in Shanghai at that time.

"Did you really make half a million from Shen Baolan's man?"

"Whether it's true or not is none of your business."

"Why is it okay? Liu Cuihua, that murderer, is making up rumors about you everywhere. I will go to Zhou's house to make trouble soon. If she doesn't let you have an easy life, Shen Baolan won't have a good life either!"

Shen Mingzhu calmly drank a mouthful of millet porridge and said, "Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. Just take care of Erya."

As she spoke, Shen Mingzhu looked at her niece intently. Her complexion looked much more normal, without the two red spots on her face.

"Sister Erya, have this. This is called a pancake. We bought it from Shanghai. It's delicious."

Under the influence of Shen Mingzhu, Guoguo also became very decent in dealing with people.

Not only did she take out her own toy dolls for Arya to play with, she also took out various snacks and candies to treat Erya, showing the demeanor of a very good older sister.

Seeing that the two children were getting along well, Shen Mingzhu retracted her gaze and said to Qin Jinlian, "You have time to practice your skills with your second brother and his wife. Don't make trouble. I will take care of Shen Baolan."

"This is a nutritional liquid for children. Drinking it will improve the child's appetite and help them grow taller. You can take it back and give it to Erya. Two bottles a day. The rest are tea leaves, food, and clothes I bought for you and Dad.

Looking at the bags on the table, Qin Jinlian was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and not cause you any trouble!"

Although Shen Mingzhu was in Shanghai, Shen Hongmei had already reported to her over the phone what happened in Shenjiagou.

Although Qin Jinlian was greedy and selfish, she was very clear about the issue of uniting against foreign enemies.

After sending Qin Jinlian away, Shen Mingzhu packed up and went to the factory.

The food factory will start operations tomorrow, but most employees are already at work today, cleaning up under the leadership of management in preparation for the start of work.

After a tour of the factory, Shen Mingzhu went to inspect two Shen’s stores.

She was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, when she drove to the law firm to meet the lawyer introduced by Shen Hongmei.

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

She disdains wasting her time on quarrels and arguments.

We are now living in a society ruled by law. The behavior of Liu Cuihua and Shen Baolan is even worse than that of Liang's mother.

The document she asked the villagers to write yesterday was the ironclad evidence for suing the mother and daughter for violating privacy and spreading rumors.

…

It was already evening when I got home.

Shen Mingzhu happened to meet Sister Yu who was about to go home after get off work. She stopped Sister Yu and told her the breakfast menu for tomorrow. As she was talking, the plague god Shen Baolan appeared out of nowhere.

"Shen Mingzhu, what are you busy with recently?"

"Busy killing cockroaches."

Shen Baolan didn't realize that Shen Mingzhu was mocking her and Liu Cuihua, and continued to gloat over her misfortune, "I heard that a lot of people have asked you for help recently. It's annoying, right? As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. You can only blame yourself for being too capable."

Shen Mingzhu just thought of Shen Baolan as an annoying fly and was too lazy to pay attention to her. She just reminded Sister Yu to be careful and went home.

Unexpectedly, Shen Baolan did not pester her, but instead pulled Sister Yu aside and started talking enthusiastically.

Shen Mingzhu was worried that Sister Yu would suffer a loss, so she turned around and went back.

Shen Baolan took Liu Cuihua's advice to heart and planned to find a nanny to take care of her parents-in-law and stepson so that she could take her son to Focheng to find Zhou Shuhuan.

She spent the whole day running around the labor market and housekeeping companies but couldn't find a suitable one.

Either the wages are too expensive or they don’t know anything.

She wanted Sister Yu to introduce her to a nanny who was both cheap and capable.

Sister Yu did not agree to Shen Baolan's offer, but after Shen Baolan left, she turned around and discussed with Shen Mingzhu, wanting to introduce her cousin to the Zhou family as a nanny.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Mingzhu, but Sister Yu knew that Shen Mingzhu and Shen Baolan did not get along, so she wanted to inform Shen Mingzhu in advance.

"My cousin's life is so miserable. Her husband became paralyzed within two years of marriage, and he has to rely on medicine to stay alive. The family is in debt, and they have to raise children. Her parents-in-law are old, and the land they grow in their hometown is only enough to feed the family." (End of this chapter)
