"Accountant Zhang, could you please do the accounting?" Uncle Niu called out to a tall, thin man in his fifties.

She was the village's former accountant. Back then, it wasn't called a village, but a production team. Accountant Zhang was in charge of calculating work points, and she could use the abacus incredibly fast. When the production team was abolished, Accountant Zhang lost her job. Now that she could go back to her old job, Accountant Zhang was so excited that she ran home and then ran back with her big abacus.

This abacus is also quite special. It was a prize seized from landlords in the past. It is large and heavy, with the frame covered in fine copper. The abacus beads are made of ground ox bone, and the beads are strung on ox tendons that have been boiled and dried. It has remained intact for hundreds of years and can be considered an antique.

Others brought out tables and chairs, and Uncle Niu sent someone with a sharp tongue to give an account.

"On March 2nd, I gave Guilan baby 100 yuan to buy clothes."

"On March 5th, I gave my baby 200 yuan to buy Wuji Baifeng Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

"On March 7th, Guilan's daughter Xing'er bought new clothes for three hundred yuan. She needs to dress decently for school in the city."

Sister-in-law Niu's face changed drastically. She pointed at Wang Guilan and cursed, "You said you didn't sleep together, but you even bought her new clothes. Did you sleep with Niu Tiefu so much that you're willing to spend money? Bah! What kind of pure and innocent daughter can a ragpicker mother give birth to!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just made that up on the spot. Xing'er doesn't even know about it. Try saying that to Xing'er again, and I'll fight you!"

Seeing that the two women were about to start fighting again, Uncle Niu shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"

Sister-in-law Niu retreated sullenly, glaring fiercely at Wang Guilan. Wang Guilan's face turned ashen. She remembered every single account clearly, some of which she herself had forgotten. She never expected that Brother Niu, who was so obedient to her, would secretly keep such an account.

This time, there's no way to deny it.

"On May 20th, I bought a pair of underwear for a thousand yuan. They feel so comfortable, it was worth it!" The man who was reporting the expenses couldn't help but burst into laughter after he finished speaking. The other villagers also laughed, but they were surprised that Brother Niu could come up with so much money, and even more surprised that Wang Guilan was willing to spend a thousand yuan to buy a pair of underwear that didn't even have a foot of cloth.

Tsk!

Sister-in-law Niu was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She couldn't even bear to buy underwear for fifty yuan, but that slut Wang Guilan bought one for a thousand yuan, spending her husband's money. She wished she could strip Wang Guilan naked right now and hang her on a tree for everyone to see.

The notebook contained numerous entries, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan. The total amount was considerable. Accountant Zhang's hands flew across the page, and her voice was constant. After the accounts were finished, Accountant Zhang also reported the total amount.

"Thirty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty yuan."

Accountant Zhang's voice was loud and clear, a skill honed from his past work of reporting work points. Everyone heard him clearly, which startled them.

Oh my god, so much money!

Wang Guilan's face darkened further. She knew she couldn't renege on the money, but she wasn't someone to be trifled with.

"You spent money on me, but did you think I got it for free? How many times have I slept with Niu Tiefu over the years? You're not capable of sleeping with men, I've just suffered. You have to pay me for the work I've done, right? You want to sleep with me for free? No way!"

"You shameless bastard, how dare you take money with your worthless body?" Sister-in-law Niu cursed.

"Even if you're awful, your man still comes to my house. You're not awful, but your man just won't sleep with you. What are you so smug about?" Wang Guilan looked at Sister-in-law Niu with disdain. She couldn't even hold onto her man's heart, so what was she doing acting so arrogantly in front of her!

Tang Yuanyuan was dumbfounded. This was the first time she had ever seen a woman like Wang Guilan who acted as a mistress so brazenly and without any sense of shame.
