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

Shen Mingzhu briefly talked about the injustice and dissatisfaction Shen Hongmei had felt in her heart the previous night.

After she finished, she asked Pei Wenping, "Elder sister, I might not be as thorough in my thinking, but Hongmei’s words have given me a wake-up call. Therefore, I want to ask you, do you feel any dissatisfaction because you’ve been overshadowed by your sister-in-law? Tell me the truth. If you don’t speak the truth, I won’t know my own problems."

"Alright, then I’ll tell you the truth, no!"

"Really no?"

Pei Wenping put down her chopsticks, "I sit in the office every day, shielded from the wind and the rain, doing the same work as before, but my income has increased tenfold. I am grateful beyond words, what’s there to be dissatisfied about?"

"Jealous that your sister-in-law gets more? Why doesn’t she look at the work that others do and what she does? Why doesn’t she compare herself to Hu Danni, who cooks the meals?"

"This is the last time. You should stop comparing me with her in the future, not everyone is as heartless as she is!"

Shen Mingzhu laughed, "Alright, I will never ask again."

Pei Wenping gave her a "that’s more like it" glance and picked up her chopsticks, "Let’s eat. We still have to go back to the factory to work."

"Mmm."
