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

"Mingzhu, it seems like there aren’t many guests from your side. Did they get the time wrong, or couldn’t they find the place? Should we send someone out to guide them?"

Upon seeing a small building materials business owner stuffing two thick red packets into Zhao Yun and Pei Ziheng’s hands, Zhou Hui could no longer hold back.

Zhao Dafa had generously booked the entire second floor of the restaurant for the banquet, with twelve tables set.

At this time, Shen Mingzhu and Zhou Hui, as the hostesses, were standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, one on each side, receiving guests.

Shen Mingzhu was accompanied by Pei Wenping and Shen Hongmei, while Zhou Hui also had a few close female relatives by her side.

As Zhou Hui’s words fell, the women standing beside her all cast strange looks toward Shen Mingzhu.

"They say it’s a banquet hosted by both families, but it seems all the guests are from the Zhao Family’s side. As for matters of social obligations and courtesy, wouldn’t it all fall on the Zhao Family to return the favors?"

Hearing the comments from those around her, Zhou Hui smiled, "My Dafa is just kind-hearted and doesn’t fuss over these things. After all, Xiaoyun and Ziheng are such good friends."

Shen Mingzhu looked at Zhou Hui, "Sister Zhou, I gave you the guest list from the Pei Family’s side two days ago and you also booked the banquet according to the list. You didn’t mention there were too few guests from our side then, so why bring it up now?"

Zhou Hui laughed awkwardly, "I’ve been so busy these past days, I must have forgotten."
