章 36: Chapter 36: The crying child gets the candy, the well-behaved child gets no love

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that Shen Mingzhu leisurely returned home with Pei Ziheng.

As soon as she entered, Qin Jinlian, who was busy in the courtyard, glared at her. "You still know to come back!"

Shen Mingzhu: "Should I leave then?"

Qin Jinlian: "..."

Seeing the mother and daughter starting to squabble upon meeting, eldest sister-in-law Du Juan hurriedly greeted Shen Mingzhu, "Let Xiaohuan play with Daya, and Mingzhu, help me cook dinner in the kitchen."

Shen Mingzhu agreed, patted Pei Ziheng's head, said, "Don't bully Daya," and then followed Du Juan into the kitchen.

Pei Ziheng pursed his lips, watched Shen Mingzhu's retreating figure for a while, and then turned and walked over to the little girl by the wooden horse cart.
