"My husband and I earn a little over one tael of silver a month, almost two taels. We are already very content! We won't think about things that are not our concern!"

Shen Manshou was embarrassed and said awkwardly, "I was just joking..."
After returning home, Xiao Yunqi, with a dark expression, rushed into Cheng Ping's house.
