Shen Ai Qiu wanted to make a few more rebuttals, but her brain was not as quick as Shen Zhizhu's.
"Cousin, I know what you want to say. I'm not being selfish. There are only two of us, my husband and I, and we don't need much firewood at home. We've already stored some before. With the tractor today, we can bring more at once. We also bought coal at home, so we can almost get through this winter."
Shen Zhizhu knew that the villagers around him were not so agile in their hands' movements and were just listening to what they were saying, so he raised his voice and spoke more earnestly.
"We should have worked hard today to get enough firewood, and then we could leave and share what we got. This is how it was supposed to be. If my husband and I continue to come in, the villagers are all honest and kind people. How can we accept it? They will give us some points, but we don't need so much. They have many people in their families and need a lot. Why should they share with us?"
The villagers nodded. If Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan really came to help, they would definitely give them some money.
Even if it wasn't firewood, they would still send some food during the winter, but they themselves didn't need to go to such trouble.
"That's right. If each of us gives a little firewood to the young couple, it will be enough for them to get through the winter."
"They are here because of the village chief's favor. Don't make things difficult for them. Hurry up and collect your own firewood. Everyone is working, but you are lazy. Be careful that you will get less when the time comes."
Shen Ai Qiu couldn't understand why he was taken away by Shen Zhizhu?
Shen Zhizhu waved his hands and shrugged at Shen Aiqiu.
"Who told you to be so slow in talking? You deserve to be defeated by me. If you are not good enough, just practice more. Stop jumping around everywhere and go pick up your own firewood."
She continued to pull Xu Haonan to find a direction with fewer people.
How could Shen Ai Qiu swallow this anger? She yelled at Shen Zhizhu.
"Shen Zhizhu! Originally, there was no share for you on the tractor. Now that you've come, you want to take all the firewood at once. It's enough for you to take it once, but what about the big guys? There are so many of us, and you have to pick up the leftovers. What if there's not enough later?"
People will not always protect a person only when their own interests are affected. Shen Ai Qiu felt that this sentence of his would definitely control the villagers around him and make them stand on his side to condemn Shen Zhizhu together.
But what she didn't expect was that many people looked at her with inexplicable eyes.
Did she say something wrong?
"What you said is so ridiculous. The mountain behind is not yours alone. Even if we come here every day and night, what's the problem? Ah, I get it. You have bad intentions. How can you be so mean!"
Shen Zhizhu was worried that her daily life was too boring, and Shen Aiqiu kept hanging around her, looking stupid. So it was no wonder that she treated Shen Aiqiu as a toy.
She leaned her back against Xu Haonan, covering her face with her hands, and screamed in disbelief.
"You didn't hear what the village chief said just now, that my husband is strong and healthy and once killed a wild boar, so you planned to let us go deep into the forest to collect firewood, right? No, no, how could you be so vicious? Everyone in the village knows that when my husband encountered the wild boar, the animal was already seriously injured. Even if that was the case, my husband was also injured. Now at this season, you let the two of us go deep into the forest to find firewood. How much do you hate us? Do you want to kill us? Wuwuwuwuwu."
Shen Zhizhu wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but he was pretending. His tear glands were not so developed that he couldn't cry whenever he wanted.
So she turned around, threw herself into Xu Haonan's arms, and began to cry. Xu Haonan was a little flustered at first until she heard it.
[Hehehe, I am indeed the one, my brain works really fast, I will follow Shen Aiqiu's path and leave Shen Aiqiu with nowhere to go, sniff, my husband smells so good, it smells so good.]
He also felt the little head in his arms arch slightly a few times.
"Shen Zhizhu, who are you trying to fool? How could you possibly cry? Stop pretending!"
Shen Ai Qiu didn't expect that Shen Zhizhu would become not only difficult to control, but she never expected that he would be able to act.
When she was little, Shen Zhizhu would never cry no matter how she and Shen Xiaojie bullied her. But now, she cried so disgustingly in a man's arms just because she had an argument with her.
He must be pretending.
Of course Shen Zhizhu was pretending, but now she didn't want to pay attention to Shen Aiqiu, a brainless woman who could only quack.
Seeing Shen Zhizhu pretending to be dead, Xu Haonan took over the baton of Huihuang.
"My Ah Zhu is such a soft-hearted person. You have been forcing her, but she has always tolerated it. Now you are brazenly asking her to die. How could she not feel bad in her heart? As a sister who grew up with her, you should not feel bad, but you are still saying sarcastic words to her."
Shen Zhizhu was stunned for a moment, feeling satisfied.
[Not bad, not bad, your skills have improved. You are worthy of being with me every day. You have learned a lot. ]
Xu Haonan felt proud when he was praised. Look, his wife praised him for his improvement in speaking.
Shen Ai Qiu looked at Xu Haonan speechlessly.
"How can you say that? Is she soft-hearted enough to chop me with an axe? Besides, you were able to kill the wild boar. Even if you didn't use much firewood, it was still a lot. What's wrong with going a little deeper? We're all here. If anything happens, just shout. What can happen?"
Shen Ai Qiu had given up. Since the words had already been spoken, there was no point in arguing any further. It would be better to focus on the areas where Xu Haonan was capable of resolving the crisis.
It would be even better if Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu could successfully reach the deep place and something unexpected happened.
The surrounding villagers could no longer bear it and stopped silently collecting firewood.
"Xiao Qiu, I thought you were a considerate and good girl, but why do you always let your sister and brother-in-law go to such dangerous places? Look at the branches on the ground, there are so many that you can only take two steps and there will be a pile of them. How can there not be enough?"
"She is just like that, but she is usually better at pretending. No matter how many people there are in our village, we can't use up all the firewood. Xiaozhu, Haonan, don't listen to her nonsense. We won't go to dangerous places."
Mrs. Wang had long seen through Shen Ai Qiu's true face and thought that she was very pretentious, so she had always disliked Shen Ai Qiu.
She came back with firewood and happened to hear Shen Ai Qiu's confused speech.
Shen Ai Qiu couldn't convince Shen Zhizhu for a long time. Even the villagers around her stood on Shen Zhizhu's side. She cursed those idiots in her heart.
