The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

Although Shen Mingzhu couldn't go out, she didn't neglect her interpersonal relationships.

She made candy boxes and gift boxes for Pei Yang and his son to take to the homes of relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings and tell them the good news about her pregnancy.

When relatives and friends learned that she was pregnant, they all came to the house carrying things to congratulate her.

In the first few days of the first lunar month, it was normal for relatives to move around among each other. The movements in the Pei family did not attract the attention of the family members. After all, they were busy visiting relatives to pay New Year greetings.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Yun and his son also came to Pei's house.

Zhao Yunshu was a mess in reading, but he was very loyal. After learning that the food factory was in trouble, he went home and worked hard, dragging Zhao Dafa to buy [-] kilograms of apple gummy candies.

Out of gratitude, Shen Mingzhu also sent sugar boxes and cake boxes to Zhao Da.

Xu Shi heard about Shen Mingzhu's pregnancy from his son, and Zhao Dafa specially came to the door with gifts to congratulate her.

After studying for so many years, my son passed the final exam for the first time, which made him extremely happy.

Although he is uneducated, he also knows the truth that those who are close to the red will be red.

The purpose of this visit was to enhance the relationship between the two families, hoping that the son could get closer to Shen Mingzhu and his mother, so that he could prosper.

Zhao Dafa spent a lot of money. In addition to high-end tobacco and alcohol, he also had bird's nest, ginseng and shark's fin, which he said was used to nourish Shen Mingzhu's body.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't refuse, so she had to give Zhao Yun a big red envelope as a return gift.

Zhao Dafa was busy with things. After delivering the gifts, he sat down for a while and then stood up to leave, leaving his son Zhao Yun behind.

Before, he had always heard his son talk about how warm and happy the Pei family was, and how gentle and virtuous Shen Mingzhu was.

When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. Instead of bringing his son home to cause mischief, it would be better to stay at Pei's house.

"Mom, Zhao Yun and I want to go to the game arcade for a while."

The two children had not been playing in the bedroom for long before they ran to Shen Mingzhu to ask for instructions.

"Go."

Shen Mingzhu couldn't go out herself, but she was willing to let Pei Ziheng go out and play more.

After the Chinese New Year, my son is almost six years old. Children of this age should go out and play more, instead of being bored at home all day like a little old man.

She gave her one yuan as pocket money and temporarily "confiscated" Zhao Yun's big red envelope to prevent the two children from spending money randomly after they went out.

Zhao Yun was not angry at all about Shen Mingzhu's "meddling".

He has had no mother since he was a child and has never experienced the feeling of being disciplined by his mother.

Shen Mingzhu was willing to discipline him, and he felt very happy.

……

As soon as he walked out of the unit building, he met Zhou Hao playing with several children.

"Pei Ziheng, come over and play together!"

Seeing Pei Ziheng, Zhou Hao raised the toy machine gun in his hand and shouted triumphantly at Pei Ziheng.

The toy machine gun in his hand is this year's latest model. It was bought for him by his wealthy stepfather from the capital. He is the only one in the entire family home who owns it, making the other friends extremely envious.

But he wanted to be admired by Pei Ziheng even more.

Parents always praise Pei Ziheng for his good studies and smart mind, but so what, Pei Ziheng doesn't have a toy machine gun in his hand!
Pei Ziheng ignored Zhou Hao and walked straight past with his short legs.

Zhou Hao chased after him unwillingly, "Pei Ziheng, I called you, why did you ignore me?"

Pei Ziheng glanced at him and said, "My mother won't let me play with fools."

Zhou Hao: "..."

After walking a certain distance, Zhao Yun looked back and saw Zhou Hao, who was shooting at them with a machine gun. He happily said to Pei Ziheng: "Aunt Mingzhu asked you to play with me, does it mean that I am smarter?"

Pei Ziheng glanced at him with the same expressionless expression, "You're just not that obvious about your stupidity."

Zhao Yun: "..."

……

After leaving the family home, Pei Ziheng did not go to the game hall. Instead, he took the tram and went to the village in the city where Shi Yizheng lived.

After Shi Yizheng was imprisoned, his wife ran away with him, and his mother took his son back to his hometown in the countryside to live.He also returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, but came back on the first day of the new year.

With his criminal record behind his back, no one in the village would interact with him and they would gossip behind his back. He was not happy to stay in his hometown.

Seeing Pei Ziheng come to the door again, he stared silently for a while and let Pei Ziheng in.

Zhao Yun also wanted to follow him in, but was dismissed by Pei Ziheng: "You can help me look out for the wind outside."

"Oh!"

Zhao Yun really stood outside the door, looking around like a door god.

Silly beep.

Pei Ziheng curled his lips slightly, closed the door, turned around and talked with Shi Yizheng in detail.

Ten minutes later, Pei Ziheng opened the door and came out, taking Zhao Yun away.

Shi Yizheng stood outside the door and watched the two of them off.

Zhao Yun looked back as he walked, as curious as a hundred thousand ants crawling around him, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Deal with the bad guys."

"Who?"

"The person who killed my mother."

"Oh."

Although Pei Ziheng didn't reveal anything, Zhao Yun was very happy, thinking that Pei Ziheng regarded him as a good brother and told him such an important secret.

……

From the first to the fifth day of the lunar new year, Qin Jinlian went out to visit the house after dinner every day. She chatted with her parents and her family. She lived a happy life, but from time to time she would look towards the entrance of the village.

Everyone could see what she was looking at.

"Jin Lian, it's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and your son-in-law hasn't come back yet?"

"What are you going to do? The road is bumpy, so don't bump my grandson."

"Hey, your pearl is pregnant too? How many months has it been?"

Qin Jinlian was proud, "It's been almost three months."

"That's earlier than Cuihua's daughter. I heard that her daughter has been there for two months and hasn't come back this year."

Qin Jinlian said she didn't care if her daughter and son-in-law didn't return to her parents' home, but she was secretly looking forward to it.

A woman of her age can only stand upright in the village by being filial to her children.

When she heard that Liu Cuihua's son-in-law hadn't come back either, she felt a little more balanced.

When I returned home, I couldn't help complaining to my wife and son, "It's really my married daughter who threw water on her. She's only been married for a long time and she's back. She's such a heartless person."

Shen Jianguo opened his mouth and scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? The road into the village is narrow and slippery. Mingzhu has a baby in her belly. What should I do if she accidentally falls?"

Shen Chaobei echoed, "My little sister's fetus was unstable and she had to rest in bed. It would be a lot of trouble to go back to her parents' home. As a mother-in-law, you don't even know how to feel sorry for my little sister."

Shen Xiangnan: "The last time I went to the city to see my little sister, she was so angry that she had a stomachache as soon as you opened your mouth. If it were me, I wouldn't come back!"

Even Daya, who was always quiet and well-behaved, raised her little head and said, "Auntie, I won't come back."

The words spoken by each of his wife, son, and granddaughter were like knives stabbing Qin Jinlian's heart.

She returned to her room with tears in her eyes, and she could not understand why the whole family turned to her daughter instead of her own mother.

……

When Pei Yang came home from visiting relatives, he saw Shen Mingzhu curled up on the sofa like a lazy cat, and his eyes couldn't help but smile.

He took off his coat and hung it on the wall, then went to the heating pipe to dry his hands, then sat next to Shen Mingzhu, picked up the sour orange on the coffee table and peeled it.

"You really won't go back to your parents' house this year?"
