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

"Yuemei, when you speak or behave, you should check your conscience first. Don’t just blurt out things that can hurt people and chill their hearts!"

Jia Yuemei hadn’t expected that a casual complaint would infuriate the usually amiable Du Juan.

She didn’t dare to make a sound for a moment.

Shen Xiangnan stood up to smooth things over, "Elder sister-in-law, don’t take Yuemei’s words to heart. She just said it casually and didn’t mean any harm."

But Du Juan didn’t want to gloss over the matter.

This wasn’t the first time Yuemei had accused Shen Mingzhu of favoring them.

Whether it was intentional or not, she had been holding back for a long time, and she had to speak her mind today.

"At the beginning, we followed Xiangnan to the city one after another. Xiangnan got a job at the textile mill, and we set up a small stall selling egg crepes. Everyone had their own path."

"Later, when the younger sister wanted to start a factory, Chaobei and I put all our savings on the line to join her venture. She asked Xiangnan too, but Xiangnan didn’t want to quit his stable job to take the risk. Could Mingzhu really force a knife to Xiangnan’s throat to make him quit?"

"You only see the factory’s success now, but do you have any idea how many issues it faced? Several times it nearly shut down."
