Shen Mingzhu opened the tightly packed cloth package and was surprised to find that the tofu and crispy pork fried by Qin Jinlian in the morning were still steaming.
Do you get up early in the morning and do all this work before dawn, so that she can take it back to the city to eat?
Inexplicably, the tip of Shen Mingzhu's nose felt a little sore.
In her previous life, her biological parents divorced when she was in the first grade of elementary school. Her custody rights were awarded to her father. Unfortunately, he was a scumbag. He drank and clubbed outside every day except work. His girlfriend was like cutting leeks.
Changed again and again
After the divorce, my biological mother quickly remarried, started a new family, gave birth to a younger brother and a younger sister, and couldn't care less about her.
She obviously had both parents, but she lived like an orphan. Therefore, after looking at this heavy bag of fried tofu and crispy pork, she suddenly lost her guard.
Looking at Qin Jinlian who was still sulking as she sat on the edge of the kang, Shen Mingzhu took out twenty yuan from her bag and handed it over.
Qin Jinlian turned away and said, "I don't dare to ask for your money, otherwise you will say that I am an evil old woman who sucks your blood."
"Don't forget it, I saved it."
Shen Mingzhu said that she was about to take the money back, but Qin Jinlian snatched it away.
"Damn girl, you're going to piss me off so much!"
Qin Jinlian put the money into her trouser pocket, looked out the door, and asked in a lower voice about Pei Ziheng.
"How do you get along with that baby?"
"fine."
"What a fart! In the few days since that baby came back, he hasn't even opened his mouth to call anyone. It looks like he's not well-raised. Has he called you?"
Shen Mingzhu thought about it seriously, and it really didn't happen.
Pei Ziheng usually talks little and doesn't open his mouth easily. She didn't have any expectations for him, she just wanted to live together, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
But Qin Jinlian thought differently. Although she asked her daughter to be a stepmother for money, she still hoped that her daughter could live a good life.
"You have such a big head, and you can't even coax a baby. What else do you expect you to do?"
Does Shen Mingzhu think that Pei Ziheng is an ordinary child? This is a perverted and sinister little villain. It is not easy for her to get along with him like this, okay?
"Mom, you know how to coax babies. Why don't you coax one for me to see?"
"You have a beautiful idea. You can coax your own baby by yourself. I'm too lazy to help you coax it."
Qin Jinlian said and went out.
Shen Mingzhu curled her lips and continued to pack her things.
Qin Jinlian came out of the house, looked around, and saw no sign of Pei Ziheng, so she walked towards the door.
When I walked out of the courtyard gate, I saw Pei Ziheng playing glass marbles with several six or seven-year-old children in the village.
Qin Jinlian stood and watched for a while before speaking, "Xiaoheng, come here."
Pei Ziheng looked back at Qin Jinlian, slowly stood up and walked over.
Qin Jinlian smiled and put a red envelope into his hand, "Here, grandma gave it to you, take it to buy some candies."
When Pei Ziheng accepted the red envelope, Qin Jinlian immediately said, "I'll come here to play with grandma and grandpa often in the future, huh?"
Pei Ziheng nodded.
"Just nodding is not enough. You have to say it with your mouth. You have to say, I understand, grandma."
Qin Jinlian deliberately emphasized the word "grandma" in an attempt to induce Pei Ziheng to call her, but Pei Ziheng refused to be fooled and pursed his lips as tightly as a clam shell.
Qin Jinlian taught her indiscriminately for a long time, and when she was done talking, Pei Ziheng still refused to open his mouth to shout. Qin Jinlian lost her patience and waved Pei Ziheng to continue playing with the children in the village, then turned around and returned home angrily.
However, she didn't notice the sarcasm flashing in Pei Ziheng's eyes after she turned around.
In her previous life, after her father's accident, Qin Jinlian looked at his nose every time he came home, and even encouraged the vicious Shen Mingzhu to throw him away many times.
After returning to the city, Shen Mingzhu gave Pei Wenping some of the fried tofu, fried crispy pork, and some specialties such as fresh dates.
Although it is not worth much money and is not a rarity, it is still a piece of my heart.
As for Shen Baolan causing the original owner to fall into the ditch, after thinking about it, Shen Mingzhu decided not to confront Shen Baolan for the time being.
It has been so long since the incident happened, and the evidence has long since disappeared. Shen Baolan could have refused to admit it, or he could have accidentally spilled the oil on the road.
But one thing is, if Shen Baolan has evil intentions towards her, his fault will be revealed one day.
Shen Baolan didn't know that the evil things she had done had been exposed. She had been concentrating on making pastries during this period.
"Come, come, come and try the freshly baked chicken cakes..."
Before she could finish her words, the Zhou family members who were sitting in the living room all got up and went back to their rooms. They looked so evasive that it was as if what Shen Baolan was serving was not a cake but a bomb.
Only Zhou Hao, the youngest, was still sitting on the sofa, stupidly not understanding what was happening.
"Xiaohao, come on, you eat."
Seeing the chicken cake being fed to his mouth, Zhou Hao opened his mouth and took a bite.
Shen Baolan was just about to ask if it was delicious when she saw her stepson spitting out the chicken cake on the ground.
"It's not delicious at all. It's not as delicious as Pei Ziheng's stepmother's cooking!"
Zhou Hao is childlike, but Shen Baolan is so angry that she has a myocardial infarction.
She didn't believe in evil and took a piece to eat. It was sweet and soft, with a strong egg fragrance, but it was still far inferior to the chicken cake made by Shen Mingzhu.
"Shuhuan..."
Looking up, he saw Shen Baolan carrying chicken cake into the room. Zhou Shuhuan immediately turned his back and said, "Don't bring it in, I won't eat it."
It's not that the chicken cake made by Shen Baolan is difficult to eat, but that he has eaten it every day for the past few days and has eaten so much that he almost vomited.
Shen Baolan was puzzled, "Shen Mingzhu also learned from books, and I also followed the books. Why can't I make something like Shen Mingzhu?"
Zhou Shuhuan said to her, "I think you should stop fussing and just pay the tuition to learn from her."
Shen Baolan has a strong nature and refuses to admit defeat, and she has been keeping tabs on Shen Mingzhu since she was a child. What's the difference between asking her to bow her head and admit defeat to Shen Mingzhu, and stabbing her in the heart with a knife?
Even if she really wanted to become a disciple, she would not seek out Shen Mingzhu!
——
When Shen Mingzhu returned from sending Pei Ziheng to kindergarten, she saw a crowd of people surrounding the door of the family home from a distance.
When she got closer and took a look, she immediately became happy.
It turned out that Shen Baolan's mother-in-law was setting up a stall selling chicken cakes and Double Ninth Festival cakes.
Seeing her, Ma Sufen immediately shouted loudly, "Chicken cake, delicious and cheap chicken cake, two yuan and thirty cents a pound, you are welcome to try it. They are from the neighbors, we just earn hard money, it's not like There are some people with black hearts and minds who sell things at high prices regardless of their conscience, which is so unkind!"
Shen Mingzhu pretended not to realize that Ma Sufen was dissing her, looked at her twice and then went home.
Ma Sufen snorted secretly at Shen Mingzhu's back, turned her head and continued shouting.
"Hey, Baolan, are you doing anything good today? I see you smiling from ear to ear all day long."
Shen Baolan was feeling happy. When asked by someone who worked with her, she started chatting, "It's nothing. I just set up a stall with my mother-in-law to do some small business and earn some pocket money."
"It's pretty good. The whole family is making money, so we're worried about not having a good life."
"Okay……"
Shen Baolan spoke modestly and said in her heart, where is this? When my husband becomes a multi-millionaire in the future, then he will truly live a good life.
After get off work, Shen Baolan pedaled her bicycle very fast, wishing she could grow wings and fly back to see the results of her mother-in-law's stall today.
When she arrived at the gate of the family courtyard, Shen Baolan was overjoyed to see that her mother-in-law's stall was no longer there.
Closing the stall so early, everything must be sold out!
She just said that she can do anything Shen Mingzhu can do!
