The next day, on the way to dropping Pei Ziheng off at kindergarten, Shen Mingzhu heard from other kids' moms that there had been a huge row at the Zhou family's place the night before.
"... After his squabble with his wife, Zhou Shuhuan was so angry he went out to drink, and his son is quite the dutiful one. Seeing his father driven out by his stepmother, he was both crying and making a fuss, insisting on driving the stepmother out, and no one could calm him down. Finally, Auntie Ma really did kick her out, and only then did Zhou Hao quiet down."
"It's said that Shuhuan's wife sat at the doorstep till 12 o'clock, and only when Zhou Shuhuan came back from drinking did she get back inside the house."
As for Shen Baolan's misfortune, Shen Mingzhu just wanted to say she deserved it!
Perhaps sensing a crisis, Shen Baolan today was treating Zhou Hao like a little ancestor on the way to school, pampering him every step of the way, with no energy left to come over to her.
