The strange looks from people around her made Shen Ai Qiu feel very uncomfortable, and she could only explain embarrassedly.

"If I had money, why wouldn't I buy it for you? I'm not well off, you know. We're poor, and you can't force me to pay for it."

After Du Manjun spent the money, he realized that Shen Zhizhu was trying to provoke him. He thought confidently that Shen Zhizhu must be thinking that he bought a small clip for Shen Aiqiu and that she was jealous and unhappy.

I suddenly felt that I was so charming that even though Shen Zhizhu was married, he still couldn't help falling in love with me.

He looked at Xu Haonan, who was standing silently by the side, with contempt, feeling very proud.

"Your sister is right. Besides, you are already married, so how can you still use the family's money? What, your man is not good enough? Can't you even afford a kettle? If you really can't, say a few nice words and I'll pay for it."

"What's going on? In order to marry me off, you received 600 yuan as a betrothal gift. I didn't see a cent of that money. My family is not well-off. Did you spend it all so quickly?"

Shen Zhizhu blinked her big eyes, and Xu Haonan cooperated with her.

"I just bought a bracelet worth twenty dollars. It's normal to spend it quickly."

"My husband is right. Then we don't need to bother my sister to buy it. We can just buy it ourselves."

Shen Ai Qiu was so angry. Six hundred yuan did seem like a lot at first and it felt like it could last a long time. But last time they saw Shen Zhizhu buy some fine rice and flour and he didn't want it, they got so angry that they went to buy it themselves.

It would be fine if I didn’t eat it normally, but now that I’ve tasted something delicious and there’s still some money at home, who would want to eat steamed corn bread?

They bought meat to show off to their neighbors, and bought beautiful clothes and jewelry. No matter how much money they had, it was not enough for them to build their houses. With this money, they rarely even went to the fields.

Even if they go, they're just going through the motions.

Without any source of income, we had to buy all our food outside. Soon, most of it was gone, and the family started to limit the amount each person could eat.

Someone who spends money lavishly like her has almost spent all her money.

But she also didn't believe that Shen Zhizhu was living a good life. How much income could a person who used all his family assets as a dowry have in his daily life?

"Oh my dear sister, your man is nothing more than hunting rabbits in the back hills and fishing in the water. How rich can he be with this kind of income that relies on luck?"

Shen Zhizhu didn't give in and responded with the same words he had used to treat her perfunctorily.

"Hiss, this is weird. Didn't you say that Haonan was carefully selected by you and definitely not chosen because of the 100 yuan you offered? How come he is a useless man now? Your family is so fickle, changing their orders every day."

"Hello, comrade. This is the remaining money after deducting the cost of your purchase. Please keep it."

Shen Zhizhu calculated that they had about two hundred dollars left. After buying everything they wanted, they planned to go back.

"Okay, then please deliver it to the address."

So much money, how could Shen Zhizhu have so much money? Was she busy studying with Du Manjun recently and didn't keep an eye on Shen Zhizhu? How could she have so much money in just a few days?

It sounds like I bought a lot of things and there are some left.

If I ask the salesperson to deliver the things to my door, I would have to buy so many things.

"How do you have so much money? Did you pick it up?"

This was the only possibility Shen Ai Qiu could think of.

What a coincidence, the salesperson

Shen Zhizhu chuckled and looked at her as if she were a fool.

"This is the money that the useless man you mentioned got from killing a wild boar in the back mountain."

[Humph, you look down on others, my husband is the best, okay? You still rely on luck. Do you know that luck is also a kind of strength?]

"Let's go, husband, go home."

The things they bought at the supply and marketing cooperative would probably not be delivered until the evening, but they did not ask them to deliver everything. They brought back the things they bought for their neighbors and some small items themselves.

They divided the things into portions and went to express their gratitude together.

"Aunt Li, is Aunt Li home?"

"Hey, here I come, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

Aunt Li was the one who had been comforting me last night. She had a son named Erdan, who was a sensible and naughty boy.

It is dinner time now. Aunt Li is cooking at home and Erdan is cleaning the yard.

"Sister Xiaozhu, Brother Haonan, please come in quickly."

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan didn't hesitate to go in and sat on the bench in the yard. They took out a slingshot and instantly attracted Erdan's attention.

"Wow, Brother Haonan, this slingshot is so beautiful."

Just ask yourself, which boy can resist the temptation of a slingshot? Erdan took the slingshot and aimed at the tree at the gate of the yard a few times.

Aunt Li came out from the kitchen.

"Hey, you little brat, what are you doing with your brother and sister's things? Return them quickly. What do you two want to talk to your aunt about? Why are you carrying so many bags?"

Although Erdan liked the slingshot, he was also a good and obedient boy. When his mother asked him to put it back, he did not play tricks and returned it obediently.

Before coming, Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu had a division of labor. After all, everyone set out to find Xu Haonan, so Xu Haonan delivered the things, and Shen Zhizhu helped to replenish them.

"Aunt, this is a little gift from Xiaozhu and I. Thank you for coming to the back mountain with uncle to visit me that night. Xiaozhu and I went to the city to buy the meat today, and the vegetables are grown at home, so they are all fresh."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of pork ribs, some snacks that children liked, and a handful of vegetables that looked fresh and healthy from the basket.

Aunt Li was too embarrassed to accept it and took several steps back.

"What's this for? We didn't help much. We just accompanied Xiao Zhu for a walk. This meat must be very expensive. Take it back quickly. Auntie can't accept it."

Xu Haonan was not good at speaking and couldn't utter anything nice. He just kept stuffing the money into his mouth, repeating, "Please accept it, please accept it."

"Aunt, if you don't accept it, my man will have to force it on me. When you accompanied me to the back mountain, you didn't know that Haonan had already come out. Please accept it, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well. The slingshot is also for Erdan."

Aunt Li had rejected them several times, and it would seem a bit awkward if she continued to reject them. She saw that the young couple was sincere in wanting to send the gift.

I won’t be so pretentious and will accept it.

"Well, fine, Auntie will accept it. Erdan, why don't you thank your brother and sister quickly? You just came back from the city, right? Have you eaten?"

Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan looked at each other and smiled. Aunt Li understood and shook the spatula twice.

"Wait, Auntie has just made it. I'll give you some to take back."

The two of them didn't bother to be polite with their aunt, as they were worried that Aunt Li was too honest and would give her too much. Shen Zhizhu advised them jokingly.
