Shen Zhizhu stopped Mrs. Wang and smiled at her gratefully. She knew that Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her, but this matter was originally directed at them.

If she had gritted her teeth and refused to go, there wouldn't have been a series of subsequent events. When she found out that Shen Ai Qiu was using the tractor, she didn't consider that the tractor was bought by everyone in the village in partnership.

"Sister-in-law, this is a token of our appreciation to Haonan and me. We have received a lot of care from you all during this period, especially during the fire. If it weren't for you all, our house would have been uninhabitable. The cost of repairs would have probably been more than three hundred dollars."

"Look, she said it herself. She was taken care of by everyone, so she was willing to pay. Don't worry about it. Besides, she doesn't need the three or five hundred yuan, so just let her pay."

Mrs. Wang was not used to it either, so she just jumped back.

"Who is benefiting from whom? If it weren't for the factory introduced by Xiaozhu, everyone would have made money. How could you be so tough at home now?"

This aunt has been bullied in her husband's family for most of her life. Her husband is always working away from home and seldom comes home. She has to take care of the elderly couple and parents at home and serve the children. She has been submissive for most of her life and dares not even breathe when her husband is at home.

It was not until she entered Yishe's factory and was able to earn money that she became a lot more confident. She would often chat with them and sigh that it was good for a woman to have her own money and not have to worry about the husband's family's opinion.

It's just that she is a little extreme. She even beats people at home. If she doesn't like something, she will throw things and swear at people. It's as if she and her husband have switched roles.

It felt like we had gone from one extreme to another, and it was hard for everyone to adjust.

At this moment, she had her hands on her hips.

"Even if it was Shen Zhizhu who introduced me, it doesn't matter. I stayed here because of my own ability. I earned the money with my own hands. It has nothing to do with Shen Zhizhu! We were kind enough not to let her pay for everything."

Mrs. Wang was too lazy to waste words with this kind of person. She rolled her eyes at him and took Shen Zhizhu's hand.

"Well, since you've figured it out, I won't persuade you any more."

Shen Zhizhu took out one hand, put Wang Saozi's two hands together, patted them, and signaled her to be at ease.

"Haonan and I don't have any reliable elders at home. We don't know what to do with the bodies of Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun after we get them back. Shen Aiqiu is my cousin after all, so we'll have to ask everyone to help us take care of their affairs. We can give you the 300 yuan now, but..."

"But what?"

"But everyone knows that we had a feud with those two people, so we will not go to their funeral process and will not participate in the whole process."

Everyone thought about it and decided that although Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu were not their relatives, it wouldn't cost much if they just stepped forward and went through the simple process.

Just like that, I could earn three hundred dollars to buy a tractor later, which is really a good deal.

"Okay, don't worry, we know. We will get started tomorrow after they send the people over. You just stay at home and there will be no banquet. There's no one at their house."

"I think it's okay. Help us buy a coffin and hide it in our respective vegetable gardens. Leave it to us."

They agreed quickly, fearing that if they were late, Shen Zhizhu would not pay the 300 yuan.

They had discussed this money in low voices on their way back. Ever since Shen Zhizhu was reborn, there was always someone willing to help with any big or small issues that happened in the village.

She felt warmth, something she had never had in her previous poor life. She was grateful and wanted to do something.

Xu Haonan agreed without hesitation. On the one hand, he felt that he did not stop it in time. On the other hand, when he entered the back mountain, the villagers who were with him always helped him, and there was also the fire.

He said nothing. Xu Haonan remembered their kindness clearly in his heart.

After things were discussed, they went back home. Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan followed Uncle Li and Aunt Li to the Li family.

"Come and see what delicious food your aunt made today. Knowing that you love fish, she bought it specially. You all got scared a lot today, so eat something delicious to relieve your stress."

As soon as I opened the curtains in the room, I could smell the aroma of food. The warm environment made me relax my muscles instantly.

Shen Zhizhu chose a chair and sat down without hesitation.

"Wow, this smells so good!"

Xu Haonan also said with a smile.

"Azhu was already hungry, and was still thinking about what to eat on the way back. I didn't expect to have a hot meal as soon as I got back. I was so happy."

Erdan brought bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, handed them to everyone, and then returned to his seat and sat down obediently.

"Hurry up and have a taste. I've been hungry for a long time and have been waiting for my brothers and sisters to come back together."

Aunt Li rubbed Erdan's head and spoke to Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan.

"Earlier we asked him to eat first, but he refused. He insisted on waiting for you to come back and eat together, saying that it would be more fun if we all ate together."

Uncle Li handed everyone a bun, and then everyone started to eat. Apart from breakfast, Shen Zhizhu had not eaten for almost a day.

"It's delicious. Everyone cooks this fish to have a different taste. Aunt Li's is also delicious."

Aunt Li's eyes were curved with smiles because of the compliments, and she picked up some more dishes for Shen Zhizhu.

"If it tastes good, eat more. Auntie likes to watch you eat. It makes me feel very accomplished."

The meal was very relaxed, no one mentioned what happened during the day, it was just a simple meal between the two families.

After the meal, Shen Zhizhu touched his bulging belly, feeling very full and satisfied.

"I ate too much accidentally, burp."

Not only them, but everyone in the village ate and drank, and fell asleep after washing up, as if the deaths of Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun had no effect on them at all.

Soon, the next day came. After breakfast, Officer Pei brought a group of people and two corpses to Qinlao Village.

"The tractor subsidies have been reported. I will send someone to talk to you once the results are given. Comrades Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun are here to deliver them to you."

"We also informed their families overnight and told them where the deposit was placed. Now we are taking people to get it. In addition, Du Zai De said that he bought it second-hand and the body still had some problems. He bought it at a low price and did not spend about 500 yuan on the tractor, which is just enough money for the next purchase."
