Chapter 34
"Zhou Hao's stepmother wants to know what you've been up to lately."

Shen Mingzhu originally wanted to be perfunctory, but then she thought again, she couldn't teach her stepson the habit of lying.

"Just say that I read and study at home."

She signed up for the provincial university's self-examination at the end of September, majoring in Chinese language and literature, and she will take the exam in January next year. She has been studying at home recently.

Xu was surprised by her frankness, Pei Ziheng glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

However, Shen Baolan didn't believe that Shen Mingzhu was really reading and studying at home. From her point of view, Shen Mingzhu must be tinkering with other ways to make money.

She couldn't find any news she wanted from Pei Ziheng, so she planned to go to battle in person.

So that night, after dinner, Shen Baolan came to the door carrying half a bag of fresh dates for the first time.

"It was delivered from my hometown. Didn't you like eating my jujube the most before? Try it, it's so sweet."

Regarding Shen Baolan's behavior, Shen Mingzhu only thought of one sentence.

The weasel wishes the chicken a new year.

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu didn't pick up her things, Shen Baolan laughed, "Why, are you still angry about what happened before? We've had more fights since we were young than we've eaten. Is it possible that you really plan to talk to me about it? Do you have nothing to do with each other?"

Shen Baolan passed the steps, and Shen Mingzhu took advantage of the situation and stepped down, taking the dates.

The smile on Shen Baolan's face deepened, "That's right. Although we didn't deal with it, we came from one village after all. I can't write two Shen characters in one stroke, right?"

Shen Mingzhu poured a glass of water and put it in front of Shen Baolan, "I have something to say."

Shen Baolan looked around in the living room and saw that the door of Pei Ziheng's room was closed, so she pretended to be concerned and asked about the relationship between Shen Mingzhu and Pei Ziheng.

"Is he still like this? Locking himself in the room every day? After all, he wasn't born by himself, and he can't even raise him. Don't think too much about it."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "But I think you treat Zhou Hao very well."

"I'm different from you. My mother-in-law stares at me every day. I dare not relax for a moment, or your life is comfortable. You are the master of the whole family, and you can do whatever you want."

"If you choose Pei Yang first, then I have nothing to do with you."

Shen Baolan said in her heart that Pei Yang is a short-lived ghost, whoever gets married will be unlucky, but she dislikes Pei Yang's job is not good, she can't see anyone outside for many years, and said that she is not a lucky life.

While talking, Shen Baolan talked about Shen Xiangnan's marriage.

"Your second brother gets married, how much do you plan to follow?"

Shen Mingzhu was also worrying about this matter, and answered casually, "I will give as much as my elder brother gives."

"How can it be the same? Your eldest brother is a farmer in the countryside, and he can't earn two dollars a year. You earn a lot of money easily, and you don't help your natal family? Let me tell you, both the husband's family and the man It's unreliable, and our mother's family is what we rely on."

"I rely on no one but myself."

Shen Baolan put on a show and persuaded a few more words, but seeing that Shen Mingzhu couldn't listen, she stopped persuading, anyway, she didn't really want to persuade.

"Mingzhu, what have you been up to lately? Did you think of a way to make money again?"

After going around for a long time, this is your Shen Baolan's goal.

Shen Mingzhu was secretly amused, and deliberately hesitated, as if she didn't want to say anything.

"Nothing busy, just busy."

"Tell me, are you afraid that I will learn it secretly? Even if I want to learn, I don't have time. I go out early and come back late every day. When I go home, I have to bring the baby and serve my in-laws. It's not as easy as you."

Shen Mingzhu pretended to be persuaded, "Actually, I'm not busy. It's not the Double Ninth Festival. I want to make some Double Ninth Cakes and set up a stall to exchange for some pocket money."

After getting the news she wanted to know, Shen Baolan left contentedly.

-

Time passed quickly, and it was Shen Xiangnan's wedding day in a blink of an eye.

The date was set on the 28th, but as a biological sister, Shen Mingzhu should have returned to her natal family to help earlier, so on the morning of the 27th, she took Pei Ziheng back to her hometown with big bags and small bags.

As a result, when I went back, I found that there was not even a place to stay.

The room she used to sleep in has been expanded by her natal family into Shen Xiangnan's wedding room.

Although she was unhappy, Shen Mingzhu didn't say anything in order not to spoil the atmosphere of the marriage.

After putting down her things and settling down Pei Ziheng, she went to her sister-in-law and asked about the gift for Shen Xiangnan. After that, she added ten yuan more according to the amount, stuffed it into a red envelope and gave the gift money to her second brother Shen Xiangnan.

Not long after giving the gift money, Qin Jinlian asked her to talk to her in the room.

"After all, you married into the city to enjoy the blessings. Your second elder brother gets married once in a lifetime. You just give me 30 yuan. Are you ashamed?"

Shen Mingzhu was unhappy in her heart, but Qin Jinlian thought that she didn't give enough gift money, and the repressed anger in her heart could not be contained in an instant.

"The person who sold me is not counted, even my room is taken up, these are not enough, right, do you want me to give this life too?"

In Qin Jinlian's heart, her daughter had listened to her words since she was a child, and obeyed her words. She had never lost her temper like this before, and was choked for a while.

The quarrel between the mother and daughter also attracted the Shen brothers.

Big brother Shen Chaobei spoke out first, "Mom, little sister, what's going on?"

Shen Xiangnan guessed something, and said to Qin Jinlian, "Mom, don't make things difficult for my little sister, it's not easy for my little sister."

Qin Jinlian couldn't help but her eyes turned red immediately, it's fine for her daughter to disobey her, even the second child doesn't understand her.

"Who am I for, am I for myself? Not for you, an unworthy thing!"

Shen Xiangnan was so scolded that he dared not speak.

Seeing Qin Jinlian crying, Shen Chaobei didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, sister-in-law Du Juan also entered the room.

"Mom, when I got married, Chaobei and I didn't even have a decent wedding room, not to mention the dowry and the four major gifts. Now it's Xiangnan's turn, and the Guangcai gift was given to the Yang family with a hundred. The things are also readily available, they are all sons of the Shen family, you should have a degree of partiality."

Since ancient times, we have not suffered from few but uneven, especially two brothers in one family.

"In the past, my family had no money, so I didn't say anything. When I finally got some money, you wished to throw it all on Xiang Nan, for fear that he would not be able to marry a wife. What's the matter, Chao Bei picked it up? Even if you have a little money Have you ever thought about Chaobei and I? Our family of three still sleeps in one room, and Xiangnan will occupy two rooms just for getting married. Will the whole family be given to Xiangnan in the future? How about me and Chaobei? North should move out now to make room for Xiang Nan."

Du Juan's eyes were flushed, and she complained every word, obviously she had a long-standing grudge against Qin Jinlian's favoritism.

Qin Jinlian didn't expect the eldest daughter-in-law to complain so much about herself, and she was so sad and wronged for a while, tears fell like beads with a broken thread.

Shen Chaobei is a filial person, seeing his old lady crying, he turned around and scolded his wife.

"you shut up."

Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother and sister-in-law are right, they were born by the same parents, if the bowl of water is not served properly, the family will not be able to live in peace in the future."

Seeing that her own daughter was helping the eldest daughter-in-law to speak, Qin Jinlian felt sad, and immediately began to cry at the top of her voice, "Why is my life so hard, do you want me to be pissed off all of you?"
