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

After the National Day holiday, the first Saturday was Cui Lianying’s 45th birthday, but Cui Lianying did not host a big celebration; she merely invited the Pei family for a meal together.

This was also the first formal gathering between the Pei family and Cui Lianying’s relatives.

Cui Lianying had two sons and one daughter, the latter of whom was married off in Lin City and did not return for this occasion.

Cui Lianying’s two sons, along with her own brothers and sisters, plus Shen Mingzhu’s family, Pei Ke, and Pei Wenping, took up a total of three tables of people.

The banquet was set in the Ginkgo Building.

Besides celebrating Cui Lianying’s birthday, both families also planned to discuss the marriage of Pei Ke and Cui Lianying, so they all arrived fairly early.

After some interactions, Cui Lianying’s two sons gave Shen Mingzhu a fairly good impression; they each had legitimate jobs, not the sort to shy away from hard work.

As for Cui Lianying’s remarriage, her two sons did not make any excessive demands.

On the other hand, Cui Lianying’s two daughters-in-law were particularly enthusiastic and proactive about Cui’s remarriage.

Shen Mingzhu could guess the thoughts of the two daughters-in-law quite clearly.
