Shen Zhizhu mercilessly criticized Du Manjun, making Du Manjun realize that the Shen Zhizhu in front of him was no longer the Shen Zhizhu who once regarded him as the sky.

It's hard to judge.

He looked at Shen Zhizhu viciously, and some dark thoughts arose in his mind.

Xu Haonan also cheered up because of Shen Zhizhu's protective actions and words. He stood between the two of them and blocked the unpleasant line of sight.

Du Manjun has a shadow over Xu Haonan. He dares to boss around Shen Zhizhu, but he doesn't dare to act like a big shot in front of Xu Haonan.

"Humph, you are a reckless man, but you are lucky."

As his vision was blocked, he could only lean sideways and raise his voice to threaten others.

"Shen Zhizhu, I gave you a chance in a nice way, but it was useless. Don't come to me crying and begging me when the time comes!"

Shen Zhizhu would never regret it. She poked her head out from behind Xu Haonan.

"Regret it, get out of here now."

Du Manjun was so angry that he almost had smoke coming out of his head. He turned around and left. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be angry to death. Shen Aiqiu knew that she could not win the argument alone, so she left too.

Du Zai De looked at Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan in a place where no one could see, his eyes were cold, and unknown emotions were surging in his eyes.

Soon he turned around, bent down and picked up a branch, and a dissatisfied voice came out.

"While we have time, let's hurry up and collect some firewood. We'll be back on time in two hours. Don't make trouble."

Shen Zhizhu curled his lips. He was too lazy to argue with Du Zaide, so he took Xu Haonan with him and went in a direction with fewer people.

They came out today to collect firewood for the winter, not to waste time with irrelevant people.

When they found a less crowded and remote place, they saw Aunt Li and her family. They were gathering the branches they had picked up nearby and tying them up with ropes.

This is an excellent idea.

"Xiaozhu Haonan, you guys are here. There are a lot of fallen branches here. In the past, few people came to the mountains, so no one picked them up. Fortunately, your uncle and I brought ropes with us, otherwise it would be tiring to walk back and forth like this."

Aunt Li pointed at the piles of firewood on the ground and explained to them. Then, noticing that the two men had nothing in their hands, she quickly turned around and spoke to the busy Uncle Li.

"These two children have their hands free. Give them a piece of hemp rope quickly. Don't let the branches scratch their hands while they are writing."

Xu Haonan took the rope handed to him by Uncle Li, and Shen Zhizhu laughed.

"We are just hands, there is no need to be so fussy. But thank you for the rope. It is really troublesome to run back and forth all the time. It helps a lot."

Aunt Li had been busy for a while and was a little tired. There were already a lot of bundles on the ground. Uncle Li was carrying one bundle on his back and holding another bundle in his hand.

"You're tired too. Take a break and talk to Xiaozhu. I'll take these things to the tractor first."

"I'm going too!"

Erdan came out from under a nearby tree, holding some dried pine cones in his hand, and followed Uncle Li in a hurry.

Occasionally, some small branches would fall from the bundled firewood. Erdan would bend down, pick them up, and hold them in his arms.

Shen Zhizhu smiled at Aunt Li in a somewhat devious way.

"Uncle Li is really caring."

How could Aunt Li be embarrassed by what a little girl like Shen Zhizhu said? She just admitted it openly and even praised her husband.

"Of course, I married your uncle because he was kind and caring."

Auntie Li smiled, her body showing an expression of pride that could not be concealed. She then moved closer and pointed at Xu Haonan who was working silently beside her and said.

"Your Haonan is not bad either. He takes care of all the housework and can cook. He is willing to study with you if he has the energy. He is also very active. How does he divide the money he earns?"

Shen Zhizhu thought back to the beginning, when the two of them had just gotten married, Xu Haonan directly gave all his savings to him, and even all the money he earned later was paid to him without leaving a single cent.

Seeing Shen Zhizhu lost in his memories and then smiling brightly, Aunt Li didn't understand anything, so she clapped her hands.

"What a good man, you have to take good care of it. In the future, you two will go to a big city. You are not familiar with the place and have no one to help you. When the time comes, you must support each other. It is not easy for two people to become husband and wife. Don't separate just because of a small quarrel."

Shen Zhizhu naturally understood. She had worked hard all her life, and had to take care of everything, big and small, by herself. Now she had Xu Haonan to rely on. It must be God who had mercy on her.

She wouldn't be so stupid as to separate from him.

Xu Haonan worked quickly and finished a bunch of things in a short while. At this time Uncle Li also came back.

"Hahaha, Haonan is really skillful. Come, let's do it together. There's a fallen tree over there. It's been dead for a long time. I brought some tools. Let's clean it up together later. That's enough for today. You two and Erdanzi can walk around nearby and find some easy-to-grab items. Leave the rest to us big bosses."

Xu Haonan wiped the redness on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Uncle Li is right. That's exactly what I meant."

The two grown men hit it off immediately and cleared away the large branches around them. Shen Zhizhu and Aunt Li smiled at each other, and together with Erdan, they went to pick up the small branches scattered on the ground.

【A serious man is really handsome. 】

Shen Zhizhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

On the other side, Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu left the public's sight and walked on a small slope. The soil was loose in some places, and Shen Aiqiu didn't pay attention to his feet and slipped.

She fell to the side, but luckily there was a tree nearby that prevented her from falling out.

When she came to her senses from her shock, she saw that there was no road next to her but a valley. She was so scared that she almost died.

"ah!"

Shen Ai Qiu screamed and fell to the ground, and her skirt was covered with mud. She always loved beauty and didn't care about these things.

Du Manjun heard the voice and turned around and asked impatiently.

"What are you screaming about in broad daylight? Why are you sitting on the ground? It's so dirty."

Shen Ai Qiu patted her chest to calm herself down. After she stood up, she spat towards the valley.

"Damn it! I almost fell down! I was so scared! How come this place looks solid, but it collapsed as soon as I stepped on it?"

Shen Ai Qiu poked the ground over there lightly with the tip of his toes, and sure enough, with a little force, large pieces of soil fell off.

Du Manjun also saw it, and felt a little scared. Fortunately, he had just walked closer to the inner test, otherwise, even if it was him, he would have fallen as well.

"Okay, okay, let's go. Be careful next time you walk this way."

Suddenly, the scene of Shen Zhizhu slapping himself in the face and the scene of Xu Haonan beating him up flashed through his mind.

Watching the dirt falling into the valley, I couldn't help but wonder why it wasn't just them who fell down.
