Du Manjun cried out, and a red patch appeared on the back of his fair hand. He gasped in pain.

Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Zhizhu started to attack him like a mortar.

"Others are binding their feet, but you are binding your brain. What's wrong? Didn't I inform you to destroy the four olds? Do I need to send you to the Revolutionary Committee to study hard?"

"You are the village chief's family after all, how can you not afford it? You keep staring at my little things every day! If you want to drink malted milk, go ask your lover for it!"

"This is what I prepared for my man! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You're not even as good as his little finger!"

Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, Du Manjun became so angry that his face turned blue and he lowered his voice to threaten.

"If you keep making trouble, I'll be really angry!"

Shen Zhizhu sneered: "If you want to be angry, then be angry. If you die of anger, it has nothing to do with me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Du Manjun standing there with a sinister look on his face.

"You damn woman, I'll find a chance to kill you!"

Xu Haonan was hoeing the ground. When he saw Shen Zhizhu coming, he dropped the hoe and went to greet her from a distance.

"Why are you here? I have already finished working on your land for you, go back and have a rest."

Shen Zhizhu smiled and raised his hand, using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Xu Haonan's forehead.

"I'm here to bring you food. No matter how busy you are, you are not allowed to skip breakfast. If you do this again next time, I will be angry!"

Shen Zhizhu unscrewed the water bottle: "Drink some malted milk first, so as not to choke on the wind."

Xu Haonan looked at the thick yellow malted milk water and couldn't bear to drink it himself, so he pushed it to Shen Zhizhu to drink.

"I'm a grown man, I won't drink this sweet stuff!"

Shen Zhizhu raised his eyebrows: "You have to drink it!"

[You don’t know how to take care of yourself! What should I do if something happens to you?]

Xu Haonan felt dizzy from Shen Zhizhu's thoughts. He gulped down two big gulps of water, put down the bottle and started eating.

As soon as the lunch box was opened, the fragrance wafted far away along the ridges of the fields.

Shen Zhizhu specially picked out meat dishes for him, salted chicken, four-happiness meatballs, and a whole fish tail...

Xu Haonan was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He wolfed down the food, burped, and smiled foolishly at Shen Zhizhu.

Shen Zhizhu put the lunch box back into the basket and stuffed the water bottle into his hand.

"Keep this for yourself and drink it slowly. Remember to bring our kettle back when you get off work."

Xu Haonan nodded in agreement and watched Shen Zhizhu walk away until the slender figure disappeared before he came to his senses.

Uncle Liu at the side laughed at him: "Haonan, you are tall and strong, but you are actually a henpecked husband!"

Xu Haonan scratched his head and smiled without saying anything.

Shen Zhizhu returned home and worked quickly, sewing a pair of trousers for Xu Haonan in about an hour.

She looked at the remaining fabric and cut the rubber bands she had bought early in the morning into small sections and made them into head flowers using red cloth with white lace.

It didn't take long to make a handful, about fifty in total.

Shen Zhizhu hid the finished head flowers in a basket and carried the basket to the county town.

The leftovers from the wedding were completely eaten in the morning, and she was anxious to make money to improve her family's life. She planned to start by selling small accessories for girls.

This thing is not conspicuous, so even if the urban management comes to check, she can easily run away with the basket.

Oh, I really hope time can pass faster. It would be great if she could wait until the 1980s when the reform and opening up began. By then, she could do business openly and even list the company on the stock market.

When Shen Zhizhu arrived at the county town, it was time for school to be over. She stood at the entrance of the high school, lifted the cloth covering the basket, and showed it off generously.

"Head flowers for sale! New styles from Haicheng!"

"Take a look! The hair ornaments from Haicheng are very fashionable and stylish!"

A female teacher in a woolen bra stopped in front of her, and her eyes lit up when she saw the flower in her hair.

"How much does a head cost?"

Shen Zhizhu stretched out his hand and gestured to three.

"Three?"

The female teacher frowned, looking embarrassed. This is too expensive! Her monthly salary is only 35 yuan.

Seeing her hesitation, Shen Zhizhu immediately urged her: "This is a new product from Haicheng. The girls there all wear this. I spent a lot of money on the travel expenses alone."

"This flower is strong and can be worn for at least a year. On average, it only costs one cent a day!"

Seeing the female teacher's expression relaxed, Shen Zhizhu continued, lowering his voice: "Comrade, look, does this red one look like a rose? Wear this to attract romance!"

The female teacher blushed when she heard this: "Okay, I'll buy one."

Shen Zhizhu let her choose and started chatting: "I'll give you five dollars if you buy two. Why don't you bring one for your sister at home? I don't have much here. It will be gone in a few days."

The female teacher was persuaded again and directly handed over five dollars.

Shen Zhizhu happily put the money into his pocket and continued to sell.

After waiting for a long time with no business, Shen Zhizhu decided to try another place. Just as he was about to leave, a group of people suddenly surrounded him.

A female voice: "That's her!"

Shen Zhizhu was startled and thought it was the urban management staff who came, but he actually saw the female teacher who had just bought a hair flower.

Shen Zhizhu asked carefully: "Comrade, if your hairpin is damaged, I can replace it for you. If you don't want it anymore, I can also return it to you."

"There's no need to bring so many people to block me, right?"

The female teacher said to the person who brought her the flower with surprise: "I bought my hair flower from her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the female comrades handed the tickets to Shen Zhizhu, three yuan each and five yuan each, fearing that they would miss out if they were too late.

Shen Zhizhu let them choose from the basket themselves.

The female teacher smiled and thanked her: "Comrade, your hair ornament is really effective. As soon as I put it on my head, I met the male teacher I had a crush on in the cafeteria. He took the initiative to sit next to me and confessed his love to me!"

The female teacher's face was flushed and she smiled shyly, looking like a little woman who had fallen in love.

Shen Zhizhu secretly clicked her tongue, is her mouth blessed?

Can it work just by saying it casually?

"Thank you for bringing me business. I'll give you a discount next time you buy from me!"

The hair ornaments in the basket were all snapped up. A few who didn't get any looked at her reluctantly and kept asking when there would be more.

Shen Zhizhu told them that she would come again at this time tomorrow.

After the crowd dispersed, Shen Zhizhu happily held the fifty-plus yuan he had earned and turned to enter the supply and marketing cooperative.

Supplies were extremely scarce those days, and there weren't many things in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Shen Zhizhu bought a small bag of rice, a small bag of flour, and a strip of pork belly. Seeing that the offal was still fresh, he bought them all.

In her previous life, she lived a good life. After her rebirth, she always felt that coarse grains got stuck in her throat and she couldn't eat them.

This time, she has some income and Xu Haonan doesn't have to work so hard anymore.

Shen Zhizhu was walking on the village road carrying a basket full of things, full of energy.

Unfortunately, when I arrived at the village entrance, I ran into my aunt and her family. My good mood came to an end.

"Oh, it's different when you have a family, with both polished rice and white flour, and even meat?"

The eldest aunt looked greedy: "Zhu girl, your life is better now, but you must not forget to respect your eldest aunt!"
