Shen Ai Qiu couldn't convince Shen Zhizhu for a long time. Even the villagers around her stood on Shen Zhizhu's side. She cursed those idiots in her heart.

She was obviously doing this for everyone's good. If something unexpected happened, wouldn't there not be enough firewood? Anyway, Xu Haonan was strong and could hunt, so what would happen if he just went a little deeper?

A bunch of people who don't know what's good for them.

Although this is what Du Zai De meant, what he wanted to do was to take it slow and steady, get the word out first so that everyone would have this option in mind.

Then find a way to reduce the brightness of the firewood, and slowly let everyone point the finger at Shen Zhizhu's family.

Now, everything was messed up by Shen Ai Qiu's impatience.

Shen Zhizhu would not let go of Du Zaide who started the conversation.

"Could it be that the village chief also thinks so?"

Du Zai De laughed it off. Even if he really thought so in his heart, how could he admit it?

"How could that be? I mean that you should not go too deep into the area. After all, wild boars have been spotted there. Even if you two have experience in defeating wild boars, it is best to stay on the periphery for safety reasons."

Shen Zhizhu was still leaning on Xu Haonan, with a little doubt in his eyes.

"So, didn't my cousin arrange for my husband and me to die under your instructions?"

She held her throat and pinched her fingers together, trying not to be artificial, but no one found it disgusting. Instead, they thought Shen Zhizhu was just angry.

The only people present who knew that Shen Zhizhu was pretending were Xu Haonan and Mrs. Wang.

"What a good child! He just finished his exams and all the firewood at home was burned. In order to let everyone pick up more firewood from the mountains to survive the winter, he paid for coal out of his own pocket. Burning coal also costs money. Even though the couple can make money, the firewood they picked up is free after all. Now he is forced by his cousin to go to the deep mountains and old forests. Oh my God, this child is suffering."

Mrs. Wang's acting skills were superb. She cried like rain, her voice was full of emotion, and she patted her chest as if she was the one being bullied.

She interacted with every villager through eye contact and body language, and was able to bring the other person into her emotions.

When talking about the suffering of the child, she did not forget to turn around and comfort Shen Zhizhu. Although her eyes were filled with tears, she was clearly smiling brightly.

He didn't forget to wink at himself.

Shen Zhizhu was stunned.

[Sister Wang, your acting skills are like those of an award-winning actor. It’s amazing. ]

"Xiao Qiu, you're going too far. That's your cousin's husband. You grew up in the village. You must know the dangers of the mountains. It's really... really disappointing."

"We are both scholars, why is there such a big difference between us?"

The people who came back with firewood listened to what Wang Saozi said completely and joined the team questioning Shen Ai Qiu.

Shen Ai Qiu changed his usual behavior and did not explain his actions and words. Instead, he started to curse at the group of people according to what he was thinking and saying.

Shen Zhizhu felt something was wrong when she saw Shen Aiqiu, who was irritable and didn't even try to pretend herself. This was different from her who usually tried to save face at all costs.

[It seems like something must have happened recently. Otherwise, why didn't Li Chunlan and Shen Jianguo show up at such a great opportunity? Or maybe Shen Aiqiu felt that she would definitely be admitted to university and was too lazy to pretend anymore.]

Shen Zhizhu touched his chin and analyzed the reasons for Shen Aiqiu's abnormal behavior in his mind.

Du Manjun stepped forward to divert everyone's attention.

"Shen Zhizhu, I already know about the bet between you and Shen Aiqiu. With your grades, it's not easy to win. The test paper is quite difficult. Do you really not want the house deed? If you don't want it, you can just give it to your cousin. Why make a bet? It will be embarrassing if you lose."

"What? What bet?"

There were also some people who didn't know about the bet between Shen Ai Qiu and Shen Zhi Zhu, so they diverted their attention and stopped discussing whether to go deep into the mountains.

Shen Ai Qiu also regained some of her rationality at this time. She took a deep breath and once again returned to her original arrogant and indifferent appearance.

"Well, it's nothing serious. My cousin just wanted to make a bet with me. She said that if she didn't do as well as me in the exam, she would give me the house deed."

This is probably the only good news she has received recently. Counting the time, the admission notice will be received in just two days, and the results have also come out.

Compared with the people around her, her test scores were about the same, in the upper-middle range.

Hearing this, the villagers took a deep breath. After the topic was changed, Mrs. Wang stopped crying and stood beside Shen Zhizhu.

she asked quietly.

"Are you sure you can win? Why are you betting so much?"

Shen Zhizhu gave Mrs. Wang a confident look in return, the meaning of which was self-evident. Mrs. Wang understood and stopped asking questions.

She knew that after getting married, Shen Zhizhu became as smart as a sharpened knife, very smart and must be confident.

But she was still a little worried.

But in the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with her.

Du Manjun took two steps, thinking he was very handsome, and came in front of Shen Zhizhu, facing Shen Zhizhu at a 45-degree angle.

"Shen Zhizhu, I used to think you were just a person who only knew how to follow me and didn't know anything. I didn't expect you to design so many clothes, sell them very well, and have a heart for learning. You really impressed me."

It was really that Du Manjun's expression was too disgusting. He stared at Shen Zhizhu with pretended affection, half-squinting his eyes and smiling with his mouth tilted.

[Tsk, it hurts my eyes.]

If it were in the past, when Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu had just gotten married, Xu Haonan would never have reacted. But now, he naturally covered Shen Zhizhu's eyes.

Because Shen Zhizhu was still half leaning in Xu Haonan's arms, when she covered her eyes, the petite Shen Zhizhu was completely embraced in his arms.

Xu Haonan looked at Du Manjun coldly.

"If there's something wrong with your eyes, you can get them treated. Don't scare my wife."

Although Shen Zhizhu's eyes were covered, his mouth was not.

"That's right, it's not your fault that you have eye problems, but you came here to scare me, that's your fault. Look how nice my husband is, he even cares about your health."

Du Manjun was speechless for a moment, and he missed Shen Zhizhu who used to obey him. Although Shen Zhizhu has many abilities now, what he says is really unpleasant.

"How could that be? My eyes are very good. I mean, the results have come out. I don't know how you did. Anyway, your bet is to wait until the day when the admission notice comes out. Look at Xu Haonan, he has only known farming since he was a child. He just learned something and ran to take the exam without knowing the immensity of the world. As for you, although you haven't studied for a long time, at least you learned from me in the beginning, so you shouldn't be far behind."
