Xu Haonan looked outside the house. It was already evening. It turned out that they had been studying for the entire afternoon without realizing it. They were so immersed in it that they didn't feel the passage of time.

Learning is such a wonderful thing.

"Excuse me, is Comrade Shen Zhizhu at home?"

"Here we go, thanks for all the hard work. I'll have to trouble a few of you to help me move into the house. A spot has been reserved. Husband, come and give me a hand."

When the supply and marketing cooperative's car came to the village, it was so eye-catching. There were so many things on it that no one stopped cooking or tilling the fields.

They followed the car, curious about whose family had become rich and bought so many things, even though it wasn't even the New Year.

So, they followed all the way to Shen Zhizhu's house. Shen Zhizhu opened the fence and let not only the salesmen in, but also the villagers in to see.

"Xiao Zhu, did you get rich? Or is there some happy event? Why are you buying so many things?"

"I see that, it should be a sewing machine. Oh, this thing is not cheap. It seems that the wild boar sold for a lot of money."

Shen Zhizhu knew that the fact that his husband had hunted an adult wild boar could not be concealed in the village. Not to mention a wild boar, even a normal domestic pig could be sold for a lot of money.

She was worried that everyone would know about it and come to borrow money from them, especially her aunt's family. For the time being, she just wanted to make the clothes well and study with Xu Haonan in the evening.

Don't want to create any mess to disturb them.

What's more, I met Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun today, and saw the money that the supply and marketing cooperative gave me. I don't know what I will say when I come back.

So before she left, she told the salesperson to make as big a scene as possible when he came to deliver the goods to the village. The salesperson said they would do their job with confidence.

"Well, I did sell a lot, but I bought a whole truckload of stuff, and that's almost all. If I have to pay back the rest, I'll have nothing left."

Shen Zhizhu sighed to the aunties, as if his family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet. Some people didn't quite believe it.

"That's impossible. That wild boar must have at least three hundred dollars. How could it be spent just like that?"

"Hey, my man emptied out all our savings to marry me, and he couldn't even afford to buy him a pair of pants. I couldn't bear it, so I sewed two for him. Aunts know that we are a small family, and we don't have any elders to help us, so I have to buy them myself."

Shen Zhizhu was the type who lied without thinking. He had only put two hundred yuan into the cash box at home that morning.

[I don’t care. If you don’t have a penny on you, then you have no money.]

While working, Xu Haonan kept his attention on Shen Zhizhu. When he heard that Shen Zhizhu was reluctant to buy shorts and even the ones he was wearing were made by his wife, his feet slipped, but it was not that serious.

The man who was moving things with her subconsciously looked over with a curious look in his eyes.

What Xu Haonan was wearing today was made by Shen Zhizhu himself. Feeling the gaze, he felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately, his skin was dark, so nothing could be seen.

"Oh my, who was so wasteful to buy so many things? It turned out to be Xiao Zhu. Look at the situation, has he made a fortune? Really, why didn't you inform your aunt so that she can come and help you move."

Shen Ai Qiu and her mother Li Chunlan came over together. Before they entered the yard, the voice reached Shen Zhizhu's ears.

These days, my aunt's family found that it was too expensive to always buy food from outside. Half of the original 600 yuan had been spent.

So I decided to run a vegetable garden to reduce an expense.

When Shen Ai Qiu came back from the city in the morning, she exaggerated what happened in the supply and marketing cooperative. The mother and daughter discussed it and decided that in the evening, when they saw the supply and marketing cooperative's vehicle coming to deliver goods, they would go and see if there was anything good to bring back.

If they go too early, they probably won't have anything good to give them.

"So it's Auntie and Sister Ai Qiu. Are you here at this time to add some bricks and tiles to our little home? It's been a month since I got married. Has Auntie finally remembered to give Xiao Zhu some dowry?"

She deliberately acted like a child who wanted support from her family, which made the aunties around her feel distressed.

"It's really a sin. She married a houseworker and got a dowry of 600 yuan, but she didn't even prepare a dowry. I've never seen such a person."

Li Chunlan and Shen Ai Qiu were furious. They hadn't said anything yet, so what was that little bitch Shen Zhizhu saying?

Shen Zhizhu saw that the two were silent and continued to act. She lowered her head and sighed, looking disappointed.

"I know. It's okay. My cousin also said this this morning that once someone is married, they are like spilled water. Xiaozhu has let it go."

Seeing that Shen Zhizhu no longer insisted on the dowry issue, the two of them felt relieved.

"Did you spend all the money from the wild boar sale?"

"Yeah, it's all spent."

When Li Chunlan heard that all the money was spent, she felt so distressed that her facial features wrinkled. People who didn't know would have thought that it was her money that was spent. Shen Aiqiu was indeed pretending to be naive.

"That's not right, sister. This morning at the supply and marketing cooperative, I clearly saw the salesperson give you a lot of change. There should be some left over. You should be the same, sister. My mother just cares about you. She has no other intentions. We are all family. Why are you still on guard against us?"

Li Chunlan then remembered that Shen Ai Qiu had told her that after Shen Zhizhu finished buying things, the salesperson deducted the cost of what they bought, and there was still a lot left.

She thought about it and came up with a plan.

"I heard you bought a sewing machine? Why did you buy that thing? It's so expensive. If you want to make clothes, you can just sew them yourself. You bought a machine. It's such a waste."

So, you take out the remaining money and I will keep it for you, so that you young people won't know how hard it is to make money and spend it as soon as you have a little money. You are the same. I am not saying anything bad about you, but you spent all the money that your husband earned from hunting wild boars at the risk of his life. You are such a spendthrift."

"Can you learn more from your sister Ai Qiu?"

The abacus beads jumped onto her face. This family is so shameless.

"Why should I let you manage our family's money? I'm afraid that you are like a Pixiu's pocket, where only money goes in but never goes out. Ah Zhu is so outstanding, why does he want to learn from your man? He charges 20 yuan for a bracelet and lets a man buy clips for him in public. I can't let Ah Zhu learn bad things from him."

All the things had been moved down and put away. Xu Haonan stood beside Shen Zhizhu and retorted to Li Chunlan.
