The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

After the National Day holiday, Shen Mingzhu began attending night school with Pei Yang, Shen Chaobei, Du Juan, and Shen Hongmei for a short-term training class in human resources and business management.

For Pei Yang and Shen Hongmei, it wasn’t too difficult, given their junior high school education level.

Shen Chaobei and his wife Du Juan had a poorer educational foundation, struggling to recognize many characters, so Shen Mingzhu would use her free time at noon or in the evenings to tutor the couple.

Thanks to this method, the couple made quick progress and could at least keep up with the training class.

Jia Yuemei worked in the food factory and was always keen on observing Shen Mingzhu’s every move. Seeing Shen Mingzhu not only making money with Shen Chaobei and his wife but also helping them improve together, naturally left a bitter taste in her heart.

They were both sisters-in-law, yet Du Juan was the boss, managing about thirty people in the factory and earning several hundred yuan a month.

She could only work as a regular worker, making at most fifty or sixty yuan a month.

With such a huge gap, it was strange if her heart could be at peace.

Before being influenced by Jia Yuemei’s pillow talk, Shen Xiangnan was quite satisfied with his current life.

Together with Jia Yuemei, they could earn a bit over a hundred yuan a month. After deducting rent, food, and other daily expenses, they could still save sixty or seventy yuan a month, which amounted to seven or eight hundred a year.
