Ma Chao's words made Shen Hongmei feel cold.

For this self-study exam, she prepared for a full year, working during the day and reading at night. She rarely went out even on vacation, but concentrated on studying in the dormitory.

You, Ma Chao, can have dreams, but doesn’t she deserve it?

Seeing her displeasure, Ma Chao subconsciously explained: "Hongmei, I can understand your desire to improve yourself, but the self-study exam is really not as easy as you think. Even a high school diploma like mine is very difficult. You only have a junior high school education, your hope is even slimmer, and you are not young anymore, so there is really no need to waste time and energy on this."

If it weren't for her childhood sweetheart's friendship, Shen Hongmei would have fallen out on the spot.

"I don't feel like I'm wasting my time. Knowledge has always entered my mind. Even without a diploma, I can still be a literate person."

Seeing that she was angry, Ma Chao said again: "I don't mean to look down on you. I, I heard that you are not married yet. Is it because of me?"

"No."

Shen Hongmei answered simply and neatly, but in Ma Chao's ears, it felt like she was trying to cover up.

The two were childhood sweethearts, and he understood that Shen Hongmei was a woman who valued feelings.

What's more, the two of them had children before...

Thinking of this, Ma Chao became cruel and said, "I couldn't help you before, but we can't do it anymore. You have to look forward and find yourself a place to belong to as soon as possible. You are not young anymore."

Shen Hongmei was a little angry.

Just let outsiders talk about her behind her back. Why are you, an ungrateful scumbag?

The person who feels most sorry for her in the world is you!

"Ma Chao, you are overthinking. The reason why I don't marry is not because I miss you, but because I don't need to rely on a man to live my life."

"I earn money by myself at work, with a monthly salary of more than 100. In addition to giving it to my family, I can also save a lot. I can eat whatever I want and buy whatever I want. I live a comfortable and comfortable life. What's wrong with that? ?”

Ma Chao was shocked and envious.

She was shocked by Shen Hongmei's avant-garde ideas, and at the same time envied her high income.

After he failed the college entrance examination, he worked as a substitute teacher of mathematics in a city primary school. He sounded respectable, but his actual monthly income was less than 30 yuan.

His wife works in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and her salary is not high. Their combined income can barely make ends meet for a month.

Shen Hongmei, a rural girl who graduated from junior high school, actually earned more in a month than the two of them with a high school education.

Ma Chao couldn't explain what he felt in his heart, "Hongmei, you can't just be a person for immediate gain. You have to make long-term plans and think about your future. Do you want to live with money all your life?"

"It's not a bad idea. Anyway, I think a rich life is pretty good. Although I am an old girl, it's not that I can't get married, but that I don't want to get married. The matchmakers in my family who proposed marriage almost broke the threshold of my family. As long as I want to get married, , there are many young and handsome young men for me to choose from."

Ma Chao was speechless, "You have changed a lot, you are different from before."

"I used to be stupid and believe everything others said, but now I only believe in myself."

Ma Chao was speechless.

……

in the car.

Shen Mingzhu looked at the angry Shen Hongmei and started to gossip, "With such anger, it seems that my worries are unnecessary."

Shen Hongmei said: "Although he is sorry for me, he still has a good temper and won't do anything to me."

"That's not what I'm worried about."

Shen Hongmei was stunned for two seconds before reacting, "It's impossible. When we didn't meet, I would occasionally miss the old times. But after seeing him today, I have completely let go. I think he is just like that."

"I feel relieved to see that you can stay awake. If not, even if your old relationship rekindles, I will have to put an end to it for you."

Shen Hongmei burst into laughter, and the depression in her heart dissipated.

Let the people and things of the past go with the wind.

All she wants now is to make money, lots and lots of money.

……

As the New Year approaches, Pei Yang celebrates his 30th birthday.

Shen Mingzhu generously booked the entire Ginkgo Tower to celebrate her man's birthday.

In addition to the relatives and friends of Pei Chen's family, there were also many new and old customers of the food factory who came to the banquet. Shen Mingzhu took Shen Hongmei, Pei Qiuxia and Pei Wenping to be responsible for the reception of the female guests. Pei Yang's side was Chen Yi. Chen Liang, Chen Cheng and others helped.

After Chen Yi went to Shanghai for development, he would not go home until the 27th or 8th day of the twelfth lunar month every year to celebrate the Spring Festival, and then return to Shanghai after the Spring Festival.

This year, because of Pei Yang's birthday party, I came back half a month early. In the two years since Chen Yi went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, there have been quite a few changes.

To put it simply, it is more attractive.

Wearing a well-tailored gray-brown suit, with his hair neatly styled, he is less bookish and more mature, stable and restrained.

Even Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but take a second look.

After all, who doesn’t like a handsome uncle~

"Sister Wenping, Brother Chen is getting more and more handsome now. Are you relieved that he is staying alone in Shanghai?"

Shen Hongmei, who didn't know the inside story, joked with Pei Wenping with a smile.

"There's nothing to worry about."

Shen Hongmei wanted to say something else, but Shen Mingzhu sent her away to make tea.

While Pei Qiuxia went to the bathroom, Shen Mingzhu whispered to Pei Wenping, "Are you and your brother-in-law still the same as before?"

Pei Wenping glanced at her and said, "What else?"

Shen Mingzhu thought for a while and swallowed back the words she wanted to intercede for Chen Yi.

It is true that Chen Yi is sincere in rebuilding old friendships, but some injuries cannot be resolved by just a few words from an outsider.

Putting yourself in his shoes, if one day Pei Yang cheated on him, she would definitely not forgive him.

……

"Look, the Pei Yang family is very capable. It's only been a few years since I married into the city, but I've already earned such a large family fortune and celebrated my birthday with such a grand ceremony."

"I heard that a banquet today costs 188, not including drinks. I'm afraid it will cost to ?"

"We work so hard that we can't even earn a thousand a year, but someone else spends thousands of dollars on one meal. It's so annoying to compare one person to another."

"Four or five thousand is nothing. I can earn it back in a month."

"Can't you? Can you earn four to five thousand a month?"

"More than that! During the three months of the Mid-Autumn Festival alone last year, I earned tens of thousands."

"hiss!"

"Pei Yang is so lucky to have found such a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law. The old couple of the Pei family are afraid that they will wake up from laughter."

Shen Baolan held her son in her arms and listened to everyone's discussion, feeling sour and bubbling in her heart.

"The son eats women, and if the old couple is still alive, I'm afraid they won't have anywhere to show their faces."

Someone scolded her, "Shuhuan family, your words are so harsh, so you are jealous that the Pei Yang family can do better than you."

"Just accept your fate, you just can't compare with others. Even though people get rich, they still don't forget their roots. They donate this and that to their families, and help poor students to study. These are all great and real good deeds."

Shen Baolan said harshly, "She didn't do this just to gain a good reputation."

"Then you can also gain a good reputation. As long as you spend real money to do good deeds, everyone will remember your good deeds."

Shen Baolan couldn't help but picked up her son and got up and went elsewhere.

Everyone snickered at her back.

……

In a corner of the hall on the first floor, Yu Jin'e was surrounded by several people from Shenjiagou chatting.

"Jin'e, your Hongmei family is now very successful. Now you have become the manager of a food factory. You can earn a lot of money every month. You and Jiagen will be very happy for the rest of your life."

"Hongmei is capable, but she is not young. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl."

"What are you afraid of? Mingzhu is the big boss now. How difficult can it be for her to find a son-in-law in the city for Hongmei?"

"That's right. There are quite a few people who come to dinner today who drive cars. Maybe there is a rich man among them."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Yu Jin'e's eyes gleamed as she looked at the long row of various cars parked outside the hotel. (End of chapter)
