The next day, Shen Mingzhu took Pei Ziheng to kindergarten and bumped into Ma Sufen, who was also sending Zhou Hao, on her way downstairs. The other woman, who always wore a frosty expression, managed to stretch her face even longer upon seeing Shen Mingzhu.
After Ma Sufen left with Zhou Hao, one of the mothers who got along with Shen Mingzhu whispered in her ear, "After you left last night, she had a full night's rant at her daughter-in-law, everyone in the building heard it. She has the nerve to criticize her daughter-in-law—it's she who's got the sharper tongue, always gossiping about everyone. She even mocked me behind my back for being a hen that can't lay eggs, thinking everyone's an easy target. Well, she hit a brick wall this time, serves her right!"
Knowing that Shen Baolan had been scolded by her mother-in-law put Shen Mingzhu in a very good mood.
