Xu Haonan put away the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and asked puzzledly.

"How can it be considered immoral for me to have dinner with my wife?"

He looked back and forth between Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu.

"As for you two, you stay together all day and always separate very late at night. It seems like good things are coming. I wonder when the wedding banquet will be held. When the time comes, my husband and I will definitely be there to drink a glass of wedding wine."

【Ah~ So handsome. 】

Shen Zhizhu blew a hooligan whistle in his heart, with a vulgar tone.

Xu Haonan pursed his lips. Handsome? Could it be that this woman fell in love with Du Manjun again as soon as she saw him? Was her previous praise of her cuteness all fake? Was feeding dumplings to each other just to attract the man's attention?

He looked at Du Manjun who was pretending to be serious in front of him and felt that his wife had a very bad taste in people.

The sweetness that just came from feeding dumplings to each other was instantly covered by dark clouds.

[My man is so handsome. There has been something fishy going on between these two people for a long time, but it was hidden very well. No one in the village knew about it. My man is smart and saw through the trick at a glance.]

Ah, so you were praising yourself.

Hey.

His wife praised him for being handsome and smart.

A little sun suddenly rose in my heart and dispersed the dark cloud.

"Eh? That's right, I seem to see them together often, what do you think, his aunt?"

"you do not say."

They had noticed it a long time ago, but because one of them was the son of the village chief and the other's mother was a well-known hot-tempered person, they were afraid of getting into trouble.

It’s not that they didn’t say anything at all. Everyone was talking about it behind his back in groups of three or five.

"You, how can you, a grown man, say such things? Brother Manjun and I are just friends, not engaged. If you say that and it gets out, what will others think of me?"

"Sister, please take care of your man."

Shen Zhizhu was full, so he leaned back in his chair, touched his bulging belly, and replied in a nasty tone, imitating Shen Aiqiu's tone.

"Hey~ You and your brother Manjun~ are just friends. People who don't know would think you and him are a couple."

"So you know Xu Haonan is my man, then why did you just say that I care about your brother Manjun the most? If this gets out, what will others think of me?"

After some sarcasm, Shen Zhizhu looked at Shen Aiqiu and spoke word by word.

"Double-standard dog."

“You!…What are you doing!”

Shen Zhizhu, who was unmarried, was timid and never dared to talk back to her. She even dared not look up at her. She was the one who picked out all the food and daily necessities in her house first. As for the rest that she didn't want, Shen Zhizhu would decide whether to get them depending on her mood.

Why is Shen Zhizhu, who is now married, so difficult to deal with? She even dares to talk back to me. And what does that double-standard dog mean? It doesn't sound like a good thing.

"That's enough! Shen Zhizhu, I'm so disappointed in you. Your aunt misses you so much that she can't eat at home, but you're eating and drinking here, and you're also making things difficult for your sister who came to call you for dinner."

Du Manjun pulled Shen Aiqiu aside, pushed his glasses, straightened his collar, looked at Shen Zhizhu with disappointment on his face, and raised his chin high.

Shen Zhizhu frowned and complained wildly in his heart.

[Help me, he doesn't think he's so handsome, ugh~ please stop, I'm about to throw up the food I just ate. ]

Spit it out?

That won’t do. I just managed to eat something to fill my stomach, and then I’m going to throw it up.

Xu Haonan took two steps to the right, just blocking Shen Zhizhu's line of sight.

"They are two sisters talking, why are you, an outsider, butting in? Besides, we are just eating dumplings, is that good enough?"

"Who would put so much meat in the dumpling stuffing? There wasn't much vegetables. Also, someone saw your wife go to the city and buy so much fine rice and flour. Your aunt worked so hard to raise you, why didn't she send some over?"

Du Manjun was not a gentle person to begin with. He wore this outfit simply because he felt he was superior to others and didn't want to wear tattered and patched clothes like everyone else.

Being confronted by Xu Haonan at this moment, his temper suddenly flared up.

Shen Ai Qiu told him that Shen Zhizhu had bought a lot of good things, and as long as he came over, they would each share half.

Even though he was the child of the village chief, he couldn't eat fine rice and noodles every day. He originally thought that with Shen Zhizhu's love for him, as long as he went to that station, she would cry and beg for rice and noodles to be given to him.

As for the previous times when she disliked him, it was just a way for the woman to attract his attention.

How could a farmer like Xu Haonan, who could barely read and only knew how to use brute force, compare to someone like him who was educated and knew how to dress well?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I finally got to the point. It's really hard for you to make up so much before."

The aunts and uncles who were watching the fun were confused, so Shen Zhizhu kindly explained it to them.

"I ran into my eldest aunt in the city this morning. When she saw the cloth, rice, and other things I bought, she ran over to ask me for some. We were running out of food at home, so I naturally refused."

"But who would have thought that this shameless person would actually roll on the ground and say that I was an ungrateful person. She even said that she had raised me with luxurious clothes and delicious food, but now that she is married, she doesn't recognize me anymore."

Shen Zhizhu spoke very fast, but every word could be heard clearly.

"But everyone in our village knows that I am the one who does all the housework, big or small. For the sake of a hundred yuan dowry, I was sold to someone else. Fortunately, my husband is a real man who can feed and clothe me. He also gave me money to buy some things for the family. The family still owes a lot of debts. How dare I give me away privately?"

She put one hand behind her back, pinched the soft flesh on her lower back, and forced herself to shed a few tears. She was just pretending to be weak. Today I will open your eyes.

"Originally, I was thinking of coming back to discuss with my husband. If the family is really in trouble, I will share some food with my aunt. But sister, one hundred yuan, have you spent it all so quickly?"

Xu Haonan was also a cooperative person. He turned around and stood beside Shen Zhizhu, with his head lowered, looking melancholy.

The news of the 100-yuan betrothal gift did not spread in the village. All people knew was that Xu Haonan scraped together a lot of money and married Shen Zhizhu.

When the villagers who came to join in the fun heard the price of one hundred yuan, they gasped.

This is not marrying off a daughter, it is clearly selling a daughter for money. That's a hundred yuan, enough for a family to spend for more than ten years, how could it be spent all?

He was probably used to bullying Shen Zhizhu and wanted to just snatch the things he just bought.

"I actually believed it. Bah, what a black-hearted person."

"I think the old one didn't get it, so he went home angry and couldn't eat, and then he used this as an excuse to ask the younger one to come over and get it. How shameless."

"I think so too. It's almost certain."

"It was probably the last bit of money the family had to buy something, and they snatched it away."
