Shen Zhizhu stopped Mrs. Wang and smiled at her gratefully. She knew that Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her, but this matter was originally directed at them.

If she had gritted her teeth and refused to go, there would not have been a series of subsequent events. When she knew that Shen Ai Qiu was using the tractor, she did not consider that the tractor was bought jointly by everyone in the village.

"Sister-in-law, this is a small token of our appreciation to Haonan and me. We have received a lot of care from you all during this period, especially during the fire. If it weren't for you all, our house might have been uninhabitable. The cost of repairs might be more than three hundred yuan."

"Look, she said it herself. She is willing to pay because she is taken care of by everyone. Don't worry about it. Besides, she doesn't need the three or five hundred yuan. Just let her pay."

Mrs. Wang didn't tolerate it and directly retorted.

"Who is benefiting from whom? If it weren't for the factory introduced by Xiaozhu, everyone would have made money. How can you be so tough at home now?"

This aunt has been bullied in her husband's family for most of her life. Her husband is always working away from home and seldom comes back. She has to take care of the elderly couple and mother at home and serve the children. She has been submissive for most of her life. When her husband is at home, she dares not even breathe.

It was not until I joined Yishe's factory and was able to earn money that I became a lot more confident. I often chatted with them and lamented that it was better for women to have their own money and not have to worry about their husband's family's mood.

It's just that she is a little extreme. She even beats people at home. If she doesn't like something, she will throw things and curse at people. It's as if she has switched roles with her husband.

It feels like it has gone from one extreme to another, which makes it difficult for everyone to adapt.

At this moment, she had her hands on her hips.

"Even if Shen Zhizhu introduced me, it doesn't matter. I stayed here because of my own ability. I earned the money with my own hands. It has nothing to do with Shen Zhizhu! We are kind enough not to ask her to pay for it all."

Mrs. Wang was too lazy to waste words with such a person. She rolled her eyes at him and took Shen Zhizhu's hand.

"Well, since you have figured it out, I won't persuade you anymore."

Shen Zhizhu pulled out one hand, put Wang Saozi's two hands together, patted them, and signaled her to be at ease.

"Haonan and I don't have any reliable elders at home. We don't know what to do with the bodies of Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun. Shen Aiqiu is my cousin after all, so I'll have to trouble everyone to deal with their affairs together. We can give you the three hundred yuan now, but..."

"But what?"

"But everyone knows that we will not go to the funeral process between us and those two people, and we will not participate in the whole process."

Everyone thought about it and decided that although Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu were not their relatives, if they shared the cost and went through a simple process, it wouldn't cost much.

Just like that, I can exchange it for three hundred dollars to buy a tractor in the future, which is really a good deal.

"Okay, don't worry. We know. We will get started tomorrow after they send the people over. You just stay at home. We won't have a banquet since there's no one at their house."

"I think it's okay. Please help buy a coffin and hide it in your own vegetable garden. Leave it to us."

They agreed quickly, fearing that if they were late, Shen Zhizhu would not pay the three hundred yuan.

They had discussed this money in low voices on their way back. Ever since Shen Zhizhu was reborn, there was always someone willing to help with any big or small matters that happened in the village.

She felt warmth, something she had never gotten in her entire life. She was grateful and wanted to do something.

Xu Haonan agreed without hesitation. On the one hand, he felt that he did not stop it in time. On the other hand, when he entered the back mountain, the villagers who were with him always helped him, and there was also the fire.

He said nothing. Xu Haonan remembered their kindness clearly in his heart.

After things were discussed, they went back home. Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan followed Uncle Li and Aunt Li to the Li family.

"Come and see what delicious food your aunt made today. I know you like fish, so I bought it specially. You all got a lot of frights today, so eat something delicious to calm your nerves."

As soon as I opened the curtain in the room, I could smell the aroma of food and the warm environment made me relax my muscles instantly.

Shen Zhizhu chose a chair and sat down without hesitation.

"Wow, this smells so good!"

Xu Haonan also said with a smile.

"Azhu was already hungry, and on the way back he was still thinking about what to eat. He didn't expect to have a hot meal as soon as he got back. He was so happy."

Erdan brought bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, handed them to everyone, and then returned to his seat and sat down obediently.

"You guys try it, I've been hungry for a long time, just waiting for my brothers and sisters to come back."

Aunt Li rubbed Erdan's head and said to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan.

"Earlier we asked him to eat first, but he refused. He insisted on waiting for you to come back and eat together. He said it would be more fun if we all ate together."

Uncle Li handed a steamed bun to everyone, and then everyone started to eat officially. Except for breakfast, Shen Zhizhu had not eaten for almost a day.

"Delicious, delicious. This fish tastes different when cooked by everyone. Aunt Li's is also delicious."

Aunt Li's eyes were curved with smiles because of the compliments, and she picked up some more dishes for Shen Zhizhu.

"If it tastes good, eat more. I like watching you eat. It gives me a sense of accomplishment."

The meal was very relaxed. No one mentioned what happened during the day. It was just a simple meal between the two families.

After the meal, Shen Zhizhu touched his bulging belly, feeling very full and satisfied.

"I ate too much accidentally, burp."

Not only them, but everyone in the village ate and drank as usual, and fell asleep after washing up, as if the deaths of Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun had no effect on them at all.

Soon, the next day came. After breakfast, Officer Pei brought a group of people and the bodies of two people to Qinlao Village.

"Regarding the subsidies for tractors, we have already reported them. Once the higher-ups give us the results, I will send someone to talk to you. Comrades Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun are here to deliver them to you."

"We also told their families overnight and told them where the deposit was placed. Now we are taking people to get it. Also, Du Zai De said that he bought it second-hand and the body had some problems. He bought it at a low price and didn't spend about 500 yuan on the tractor, which is just enough money for the next purchase."
