Although time is relatively relaxed, there are still many things to do, such as purchasing household items. We need to take our time and gradually acquire everything we need.

There were still some things to do at the military compound, and the two of them had only registered their marriage and hadn't held a wedding banquet yet. Even if Qi Ye wanted to stay here, he would have to consider Shen Fenghua's reputation.

If some nasty person were to gossip behind your back, it could really drive you crazy.

Shen Fenghua wasn't ready either. She wasn't a young girl anymore. After getting married, many things would fall into place naturally.

Therefore, they didn't insist on keeping him, but said, "Let's clean up the house first, and then we can have a feast. When that happens, you can bring your comrades over so we can get to know them."

"good!"

Money is essential for purchasing things. Knowing that Qi Ye had already handed over the financial power, Shen Fenghua took out a large sum of money she had prepared earlier from her pocket. "This is a hundred yuan, and some coupons and stuff. Take a look and use it if you can."

"We won't use all of these." The big items were bought a long time ago, and the rest are just some odds and ends that aren't worth much. It's just that buying them takes a bit of time, and we have to move them around the house little by little.

He is honest, though.

Shen Fenghua chuckled, then feigned a fierce tone, "Take it if I give it to you. What kind of man can't even afford a penny when he's out and about?"

"I have to support my family, so it's only right that I'm frugal on a regular basis."

Clearly, Qi Ye was accepting of the fact that neither of them had a single penny to their name.

"Get lost," Shen Fenghua chuckled and shoved Qi Ye's broad chest, her tone unconsciously carrying a hint of coquetry, "If word gets out, people will think I'm some kind of shrew?"

"Yeah, I spoiled him."

Shen Fenghua was quite pleased with these words, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she rolled her eyes coquettishly and punched Qi Ye, saying, "Go to hell."

Then he said seriously, "Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. It's better to be frugal on the road than to be poor. No matter what, you can't be without any money on you. Here, take this first. I'll give you pocket money every month from now on."

Household expenses aren't high, and since both of us earn money, we're not short of cash. Also...

Her previous adventures and the small yellow croakers and jewelry that her grandmother brought back were all part of her family's wealth, so she wasn't afraid at all.

Life is short, only a few decades. These things are just sitting there unused. It's better to exchange them for food and drink and enjoy the present moment.

Eat and drink as you please, don't be stingy.

Qi Ye genuinely didn't want it and wasn't pretending with Shen Fenghua, but then he thought that he really needed to have some money, otherwise it would be troublesome to buy things for the family.

"Okay, I'll take it first. I'll tell you what I bought later."

Is this the prelude to submitting an expense report?

Shen Fenghua shook her head and chuckled, "Alright, whatever you say. Things are almost done here. I plan to take Grandma to the hospital this afternoon to change her dressing. If you're busy, you can come over tonight."

"Okay, be careful on the road. If anything happens, be sure to contact me."

Speaking of this, Qi Ye felt a little annoyed. He wasn't there when Shen Fenghua was plotted against by Shen Huixiu and the Shen family. Now that he thought about it, he was glad that Shen Fenghua was quick-witted enough to notice something was wrong.

If he had really been deceived, he doesn't even dare to imagine what would have happened to him.

"Don't worry," Shen Fenghua felt that the future was incredibly bright, "I'm a grown man, what could possibly happen to me?"

"Better safe than sorry."

Even if Shen Huixiu is gone, there's no guarantee that another disgusting person won't appear.

"good."

After closing the door, Shen Fenghua took the two children to start clearing land around the house. After all, they were a family who needed to make a living, and they felt uncomfortable all over if the yard was empty and not planted with vegetables.

And on the side against the wall, we need to raise three chickens, which will greatly alleviate the pressure on our egg supply in the future.

You see, although the city has supplies, neither the two children nor their maternal grandmother have any. The egg supply for the two of them is still a bit tight for the whole family to share.

Shen Fenghua had already made plans. In the future, she could exchange some things with the villagers, add some to her food ration book, and take the eggs from her three chickens. That should be enough to eat.

Shen Fenghua was envisioning a bright future.

Suddenly, the door was pounded on loudly and forcefully.

Shen Fenghua frowned subconsciously. What was this all about?

They're being so aggressive and unfriendly; it seems like they're looking for trouble.

Grandma was also alerted and appeared at the door, clinging to the doorframe. "What's wrong?"

Shen Fenghua shook her head. "It's nothing. I'll go out and take a look."

Who is it?

"From the neighborhood office."

Oh, that explains it.

As soon as Shen Fenghua opened the door, a finger suddenly appeared and pressed straight against her nose. "Yes, it's her!"

Shen Fenghua: "!"

She was startled by the sudden movement and instinctively used whatever she was holding to shoo it away.

"ah!"

When Shen's mother's finger was struck by the small shovel in Shen Fenghua's hand, she cried out in heart-wrenching pain. Shen Fenghua looked at the most familiar stranger in front of her, and couldn't utter a single word.

She shrugged, looking completely innocent. "You all saw it too. It's not my fault. She's the one who scared me in the first place."

Mother Shen felt that her bones must be cracked. She was covered in sweat. "You unfilial and disobedient daughter, how dare you hit your old mother! You are extremely rebellious!"

"Stop!" Shen Fenghua didn't want to argue with her mother right now, so she decisively raised her hand to stop her. "We've already severed ties. The severance letter has been written and signed, and we've even published the severance statement in the newspaper."

At this point, Shen Fenghua said seriously, "So, we have absolutely no relation whatsoever, auntie. You're not qualified to teach me a lesson!"

Seeing that Shen Fenghua showed no fear and remained calm despite the large crowd, the junior director of the neighborhood office immediately changed his original strategy.

He knew that a direct confrontation was out of the question; he didn't believe that someone living in a place like this didn't have some kind of backing.

"Okay, young comrade, don't be angry. We're just here to find out what's going on."

"What's going on?"

Shen Fenghua had no intention of opening the door to let this group of menacing people, who clearly had ill intentions, in. Although she didn't cause trouble, she wasn't someone anyone could easily bully.

Looking at the confident Shen Fenghua, the junior director of the subdistrict office swallowed hard. "Well, not long ago, didn't we have a hero who helped with the reconstruction?"

Shen Huixiu?

Shen Fenghua glanced at her mother subconsciously. What did this mean? Had Shen Huixiu had an accident on the road?

"Yes, I know about this. It caused quite a stir back then."

"Now the heroes who helped with the reconstruction have disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead."

"What?"

Shen Fenghua was genuinely shocked when she heard this.
