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

Grateful for Shen Mingzhu’s deflection, Han Zibin sent her an appreciative glance on the sly.

But he didn’t leave. Instead, he reminded the women in the room, "Eating too much barbecue can cause heatiness. Everyone should drink more pear soup to clear the heat, reduce inflammation, and aid digestion."

"Look at our Little Han, so thoughtful and considerate. He’ll definitely be a good husband who dotes on his wife in the future."

"Let’s take advantage of him before he gets married." Shen Hongmei smiled as she handed over an empty bowl. "Little Han, could you help me refill my soup?"

"Not at all a bother."

Han Zibin smiled as he took the bowl. His gaze shifted to Yan Su, who was sitting next to Shen Hongmei. "Second Miss, you don’t have much soup left in your bowl either. Let me get you some more while it’s still hot."

Not waiting for Yan Su to speak up, Shen Mingzhu, with her long arms, picked up the bowl in front of Yan Su and passed it to Han Zibin.

She praised him with a smiling face, "Our Little Han is so attentive."

Han Zibin chuckled and turned to where the soup was being served.

After serving Shen Hongmei and Yan Su, as well as Shen Mingzhu and the others, Han Zibin finally left the room to go back to the barbecue stand.
