"good."

After sending Gao Hualiang away, Shen Baolan finally let down her guard and became proud again: "Shen Mingzhu, things change over time. In the past few years, you lived a little better than me, but now it's different. Now my life is much better than yours."

"I have everything, including a house, a car, a shop, money, and a man. I don't have to do anything for the rest of my life. I just need to lie down and enjoy myself."

As he spoke, he stared at Shen Mingzhu's face, trying to see jealousy and envy on it.

This is also the main purpose of her visit to Shen Mingzhu today.

She has been suppressed by Shen Mingzhu for these years and felt so depressed. It is finally her turn to be proud, and she wants to let Shen Mingzhu taste the feeling of being suppressed.

"Shen Baolan, can you please stop coming to me to show off your presence? I really have no interest in your affairs. You go your way and I go mine. It's best if we don't interfere with each other."

Shen Baolan curled her lips, "Shen Mingzhu, you are almost jealous, right? I can understand you. You work so hard to run a factory and do business, but in the end, you are not as good as me, an idle person who does nothing."

"I can't help it. This is fate. I was born with a better fate than you. No matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with me."

Shen Mingzhu was speechless: "You are ugly and you are right, as long as you are happy."

Shen Baolan returned to the car angrily, took out her powder box and looked in the mirror, then turned to ask Gao Hualiang in the driver's seat: "Am I ugly?"

"Not ugly, very beautiful."

Shen Baolan felt a little better. "Compared with Shen Mingzhu, who is prettier, her or me?"

When you two stand together, she looks like a 20-year-old girl, and you look like a 40-year-old woman. Don’t you know what’s going on? Gao Hualiang thought about it, but he said something else:

"In my opinion, she is not as good as you. She is beautiful, but you can tell she has a bad temper and is difficult to please. If you want to find a wife, you should look for someone like you, Baolan, who is gentle, considerate and interesting."

Shen Baolan was so delighted by his flattery that she began to talk endlessly about Shen Mingzhu's faults.

Gao Hualiang listened attentively, occasionally joining in to curse Shen Mingzhu, which made Shen Baolan so happy that her heart was filled with bubbles.

In the past, whenever she quarreled with Shen Mingzhu, Pei Yang would defend Shen Mingzhu without hesitation. However, Zhou Shuhuan not only did not defend her, but scolded her and even beat her.

She criticized Shen Mingzhu at home, and Zhou Shuhuan looked impatient.

Now, she has finally found a good man who is devoted to her, loves her and protects her.

She is no worse than Shen Mingzhu!

…

"Mom, let me do it. You sit down and take a rest."

Gao Hualiang diligently took the pig food bucket from Liu Cuihua, walked a few steps to the pigpen, bent down to pour the pig food into the trough, and then skillfully used a wooden shovel to spread it out to make it easier for the pigs in the pen to grab the food.

Looking at Gao Hualiang's back as he worked efficiently, Liu Cuihua showed a bit of relief on her face.

When Shen Baolan first brought Gao Hualiang back to Shenjiagou, she was not very satisfied.

A person from another province with unknown origins, little money, and an overly outstanding appearance inevitably makes people feel that he is unreliable.

But after spending some time together and observing him, she found that Gao Hualiang was a very down-to-earth young man.

He is considerate, hardworking and considerate, and is always willing to do the dirty and tiring work. He is much better than the former son-in-law Zhou Shuhuan.

Zhou Shuhuan has been her son-in-law for eight years, and the number of times he has come to her house can be counted on one hand, not to mention helping her with housework.

Anyway, my daughter had no plans to get a marriage certificate with Gao Hualiang, so she didn't have to worry about being defrauded of her property by the other party. The more she looked at her new son-in-law, Gao Hualiang, the more she liked him.

The beginning of winter is here in the blink of an eye.

It rained all night, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees. Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was only wearing a woolen coat as usual, Pei Yang reminded her: "It's cold, you should wear something thicker, otherwise you will be cold during the lunch break."

Shen Mingzhu buttoned her shirt while saying, "Who said we were going to a banquet?"

"Today is the beginning of winter, Shen Baolan is having a wedding banquet, have you forgotten?"

Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot."

After a pause, he added: "But I didn't plan to go anyway."

"Then you promised her."

"If I just say I'm not going, she'll come over every day and bother me to death."

Pei Yang couldn't wait to help her turn up the collar of her sweater and touched her hair.

The hair that has not been permed or dyed is black and shiny, just like the finest silk.

"After growing it for so long, it's finally grown a bit."

Looking at the man's happy face, Shen Mingzhu felt guilty and didn't say anything.

She has been busy these past few months and hasn't had time to cut her hair.

…

Today, Shenjiagou is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, with loud gongs and drums. Bright red ribbons and streamers are hung from the entrance to the end of the village. It is more lively than ever since the village was built.

Shen Baolan sat in the festively decorated wedding room, being flattered and praised by the women in the room, her face beaming with smiles.

She spent a lot of money on today's wedding.

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

She bought a wedding dress and a set of gold jewelry, and with the big diamond ring that Gao Hualiang gave her when he proposed to her, she looked golden and noble.

In fact, she didn't like wedding dresses that much, they were not festive at all, but when Shen Mingzhu held her wedding, she wore a white wedding dress and was as beautiful as a fairy, which made her jealous and envious for many years.

There is also the big gold bracelet that Pei Yang bought for Shen Mingzhu, which has made her remember it for many years.

She must also have what Shen Mingzhu has had.

"Is Shen Mingzhu here?"

Rather than the envy of the women in the village, she wanted to see Shen Mingzhu's envy of her.

"Not yet. I guess he's still on the way. It's still early."

Shen Baolan asked a female relative to keep an eye on the village entrance and said that she would bring Shen Mingzhu to her room when she arrived.

However, Shen Mingzhu did not show up until the end of the banquet.

Shen Baolan felt extremely upset that she couldn't let Shen Mingzhu, her lifelong rival, see her glory.

After the guests left, she let Gao Hualiang drive her back to the city without even taking off her wedding dress.

Shen Mingzhu returned home from get off work.

"Shen Mingzhu!"

Looking at Shen Baolan guarding the door, Shen Mingzhu didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was a very cold day and she felt cold even wearing a woolen coat. Shen Baolan was actually only wearing a wedding dress. However, judging from her pale face and shivering body, she was obviously very cold.

"Why don't you come to the wedding today?"

"Oh, I forgot."

"How could you forget something as important as my marriage?!"

Facing Shen Baolan's anger, Shen Mingzhu sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I will remember it next time."

Shen Baolan was almost angry to death.

Who the hell wants the next time? On such a happy day, isn't this a curse on her? ...

After getting angry with Shen Mingzhu, Shen Baolan hurried back to Shenjiagou.

She left in such a hurry that she forgot to take the gift money.

There were a total of 25 tables for today's wedding banquet, plus various decorations, which cost nearly 5,000 yuan in total. She had to rely on the gift money to make up for some of the loss, otherwise she would have suffered a huge loss.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Cuihua took the initiative to give her the gift money without waiting for her to ask.

The gift money was put in a flowered cloth bag. It looked heavy and substantial, but when counted, it was less than a thousand yuan.

"Why is it only this little?" (End of this chapter)
