"Third sister-in-law, you have borrowed a lot of shoes and clothes from Zhiqiu over the years. Which one have you returned in its original condition?"

Liu Zhi came out of the kitchen and heard what Song Tingfeng said. He immediately retorted without mercy.

Huang Kailin was certainly not so stingy that he was unwilling to lend even a pair of old cloth shoes, but Song Tingfeng had too many previous experiences.

Song Tingfeng is about the same height as Huang Zhiqiu and is also thin, so she can wear all of Huang Zhiqiu's clothes and shoes.

Huang Zhiqiu himself was quite frugal and seldom bought new clothes or shoes, but Huang Kailin loved his daughter and often went out, so from time to time he would buy his daughter a piece of clothing, a skirt, or new shoes.

Huang Zhiqiu himself was reluctant to wear these new clothes and shoes, so they were borrowed by Song Tingfeng under various names. He never returned them on his own initiative, and the Huang family had to urge him to do so.

When I finally got my things back, they were all in a state of disrepair, especially my shoes, which were covered in sweat and smelled awful.

In the past six months, Yun Mo has sent a lot of clothes to Huang Zhiqiu, many of which are high-end goods that cannot be bought in Lu'an Town. The Huang family knows Song Tingfeng's intentions.

Of course, Song Tingfeng denied Liu Zhi's accusation.

"What are you saying, sister-in-law? Clothes and shoes, even if you don't wear them, will get dusty if you just leave them there. Besides, it's normal for them to have a few wrinkles after being worn twice, isn't that normal?"

Liu Zhi sneered, "The soles of those sandals are cracked after wearing them, is that normal? The pants made of new material have a layer of wear on the buttocks, is that normal? Third sister-in-law, you have to have a conscience. Don't blame others for not giving you convenience if you always return the rice you borrowed."

No matter how thick-skinned Song Tingfeng was, he was still made to face pale and blue by Liu Zhi's sarcasm.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't borrow them, okay? You're making me act like who cares about a pair of tattered cloth shoes. I'll buy ten or eight pairs of them when I get home and wear them every day!"

After Song Tingfeng left angrily, Liu Zhi turned around and said to Huang Kailin, "Dad, buy two big iron locks tomorrow and lock Zhiqiu and the kitchen door!"

Huang Kailin looked towards the door and didn't say anything for a long time.

Liu Zhi felt embarrassed, thinking that Huang Kailin was unhappy. Just as he was about to say something to make amends, Huang Kailin spoke.

"Old man, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, go to the brick kiln factory."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Liu Zhi nodded subconsciously, thinking that she was asked to pick up some scrap bricks for something.

Huang Kailin continued, "Ask the owner of the brick factory how much a brick costs now. If the price is right, you can order 1,000 bricks. Jianjun and I will go there with a cart in a couple of days."

Liu Zhi was surprised, "Dad, why did you buy bricks?"

A thousand bricks are not a lot, not even enough to build a small house.

Huang Kailin didn't rush to answer Liu Zhi's words, and continued to instruct: "After going to the brick factory, go to the timber factory and order two double-leaf wooden doors, 1 meter wide and 2 meters high. No need to paint, just plain boards will do."

When Liu Zhi heard that they had to buy a door, he realized that his father-in-law was planning to repair the gate of the courtyard.

The Huang family's yard is surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the gate is also a bamboo fence door woven with fine bamboo. There is no lock on it, but two small hooks made of bent iron wire are hung on it. When no one is at home, the iron hooks on the fence are hung, which means the door is locked.

In the past, our family was poor, but we didn’t have to worry about thieves.

It's different now. The dozens of kilograms of bacon alone are enough to make people worry about them. There are also the clothes and supplements sent back by the granddaughter. Everyone has saved some spare money, and now with a door, they can feel more at ease when they go out.

Therefore, Liu Zhi wholeheartedly agreed to build the gate.

She immediately went back to the room, changed into clean clothes, picked up the flowered bag that Yunmo had sent her, and went out.

—

Song Tingfeng was not used to walking on mountain roads, and she was wearing leather shoes. After walking for less than half an hour, blisters appeared on her heels. The pain was so severe that she had to find a big rock to sit on and rest.

After resting for about ten minutes, my strength was restored, but the skin on my heels was rubbed off and it hurt every time I took a step.

After walking another mile while enduring the pain, Song Tingfeng couldn't bear it any longer and turned around to walk back.

Straw sandals are fine, but she doesn't want to walk in these shabby leather shoes for even a minute.

Song Tingfeng walked and walked until she was about to cry, when suddenly there was a roar of a motorcycle behind her.

For Song Tingfeng at this time, it was like a blessing in disguise.

But when she turned around happily and saw the face of the person coming, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Enemies meet on a narrow road, and the person riding the motorcycle is Chen Bin!

"Mrs. Huang, you haven't returned to town yet?"

Chen Bin slowly parked the car in front of her and greeted her with a grin, as if the unpleasantness of the morning had never happened.

Song Tingfeng was angry and upset facing Chen Bin. If the other party hadn't dumped her halfway, she would have been taking a nap at home and would not have suffered this.

But she didn't dare to get angry, for fear that Chen Bin would refuse to take her back to town.

"Chen Bin, um, are you free now?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then take me back to town."

"Mrs. Huang, you know my rules..."

"Okay, just pay first, I'll give it to you."

Song Tingfeng now just wanted to go home and have a good rest, and had no time to care about anything else.

She took out 5 yuan and handed it to Chen Bin, then hurriedly got on the motorcycle.

"I'm seated, let's go."

After waiting for a while and seeing Chen Bin still not starting the car, Song Tingfeng couldn't help but urge him.

Chen Bin turned his head and said with a smile: "Mrs. Huang, you haven't paid enough for the car yet."

Song Tingfeng frowned, "Didn't I just give you 5 yuan?"

"You just gave me 5 yuan, but the fare has increased. Now it costs 10 yuan to go to town. Mrs. Huang, you have to pay another 5 yuan."

Song Tingfeng was immediately furious and raised his hand to hit Chen Bin on the back. "Others in town charge 5 yuan, but you charge 10 yuan. Are you raising the price?"

"Mrs. Huang, if you think it's too expensive, then go take someone else's 5-yuan bus."

As he said this, Chen Bin handed the 5 yuan he had just received back to Song Tingfeng.

Under normal circumstances, Song Tingfeng would have gotten off the car without hesitation and spit on Chen Bin.

But there was no village or shop nearby, and her feet were so painful that she couldn't walk a step. She really didn't want to go through the trouble anymore.

"I can only give you 1 yuan at most. Don't be ungrateful. Others charge 5 yuan."

Chen Bin was unmoved. "Mrs. Huang, I'm so sorry. Please get off the bus and find someone else to give you 5 yuan. I have 10 yuan here, not a cent less."

Song Tingfeng was so angry that his teeth itched, "7 yuan! I'll give you 2 yuan, no more!"

"Mrs. Huang, you better go down. I'm still waiting to get some work done."

"8 dollars! 8 dollars is enough, don't be ungrateful!"

"Mrs. Huang, I told you, if you think it's too expensive, you can just find a cheaper one. It doesn't matter to me. My car is only 10 yuan anyway, no bargaining."
