After returning home, Shen Zhizhu took out a cloth bag from the cabinet and handed the red house deed to Xu Haonan.

"Well, you are a man, you are in charge of important matters, and you should keep the house deed."

Xu Haonan was stunned and became increasingly confused about Shen Zhizhu.

"What's wrong with you? Just now, when the Shen family asked you for it, you would rather raise an axe than give it to them. Now you give it to me?"

Shen Zhizhu pursed her lips and smiled, then forced the property deed into Xu Haonan's hand.

"You are my man, I feel relieved to give you the title deed."

Xu Haonan took a deep breath, put the house deed on the kang, and planned to have a good talk with Shen Zhizhu.

"Are you using me on purpose to anger Du Manjun?"

Otherwise, how could a person have such a huge contrast between before and after?

He likes Shen Zhizhu, but he has his dignity and won't force her. It's just that Du Manjun is such a despicable person, and he can't bear to see his beloved girl fall into the fire pit.

A year ago, Du Manjun deliberately seduced Shen Zhizhu and taught her to read while cutting pig grass every day.

But Shen Zhizhu just fell for it, and soon started to secretly sew socks for him.

The two of them were trying to please each other, and even though Xu Haonan was jealous to death, he had no intention of ruining their relationship.

Until one day, when he was hunting wild boars in the back mountain, he accidentally heard Du Manjun bragging to some hooligans from other villages.

They made a bet to see how long it would take Du Manjun to get the most beautiful girl in the village.

Du Manjun was very proud and said that Shen Zhizhu had mastered the skill in less than a month. The next step was to take him to bed. After he had a taste of the newness, he would invite his brothers to join in the fun.

As he spoke, he took out the socks that Shen Zhizhu had sewn for him from his pocket and showed them to a few people.

"They are all made of scraps of cloth. How can she be so good at it!"

"Hey, being poor has its advantages. Her parents are dead, and even if she dies, no one will help her!"

Xu Haonan's veins bulged when he heard this behind the tree. He could no longer endure it, so he went up and punched Du Manjun, then snatched the socks and put them in his pocket.

He raised his sickle and warned them: "If you dare to touch a hair on Shen Zhizhu, I will fucking kill you!"

Xu Haonan was outnumbered five by himself and beat them hard.

Du Manjun covered his bleeding mouth and said, "A barbarian like you is worthy of being interested in a village beauty? What a pity! She would think it's bad luck if she looked at you for even a second!"

"Who do you think you are to mind my business?!"

"I've told you clearly that I'm going to kill Shen Zhizhu. What can you do to me?"

Shen Zhizhu was so angry that he punched Du Manjun hard, breaking his nose.

The village chief's family refused to settle the matter privately, so he spent several days in jail and even paid fifty yuan in compensation.

He also lost his reputation because of this. Whenever people in the village saw him, they would point at him and say that he was a bad guy.

But he did not regret it. In order to protect Shen Zhizhu, he could only make money day and night and use the high price of the bride price to impress her aunt.

"I'll keep it for you for now. Come back to me when you need it."

Shen Zhizhu nodded with a smile.

In her previous life, she was frightened by the beatings from her aunt and obeyed her in everything, except Fang Ben. No matter how she was beaten, she refused to give in.

When she finally left her hometown, she sold her house for one thousand yuan and hid it under Xu Haonan's pillow as a thank you.

After living for two lifetimes, she finally realized that Xu Haonan was the only one who treated her sincerely.

Xu Haonan felt embarrassed by Shen Zhizhu's burning gaze and dodged and shook his head.

"I'll go to the brick factory to work, you can rest at home, or go to the market for a walk."

After saying that, he took out a handful of bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Shen Zhizhu's pocket: "Just buy whatever you want. Don't save it for me. Tell me if you don't have enough."

Shen Zhizhu held the money in his hand and after a rough calculation, he found that there were a total of twenty yuan.

"I can spend it as I please? I can buy anything I want? Are you willing to do that? Don't you think I'm a spendthrift?"

Shen Zhizhu teased Xu Haonan deliberately by asking him a series of questions, just wanting to hear him confess his feelings to her.

Unfortunately, Xu Haonan was careless and said, "Men earn money to spend on women. Spend it as you like. I won't ask you for money."

Shen Zhizhu watched Xu Haonan leave.

[My husband is so handsome, I love him so much...]

That damn husband is here again! Xu Haonan shook his head violently. He was really bewitched by this woman!

Auditory hallucination is a disease, he needs to find time to go to the hospital for treatment!

Shen Zhizhu knew that the 600 yuan betrothal gift had already emptied Xu Haonan's family assets.

She owns half of this family, so she should do something.

Shen Zhizhu lowered her eyes and looked at the money in her hand, intending to try her luck at the market. In her previous life, she studied at a fashion design institute, worked hard for several years, and became a little famous in the design industry. Now that she is reborn, she wants to continue to build her own clothing empire.

Shen Zhizhu carried his backpack and walked along the village road to the county town, which took him a full hour.

According to her memories of her past life, she walked into the largest clothing store in the county.

Inside the store, the salesperson dozed off leaning against the glass counter, and the walls were covered with piles of ready-made clothes, all in the style of the 1970s, with very conservative colors and styles.

The trend is not yet mature, so she cannot take risks and can only innovate in the details.

"Comrade, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?"

The salesperson woke up rubbing his eyes and pointed at the red floral blouse on the wall: "It's a summer dress that just arrived today. You have fair skin, so it will look good on you."

Shen Zhizhu shook his head calmly: "I want to buy fabric."

"What do you want?"

The salesperson took out a sample from the counter and showed it to her.

Shen Zhizhu is a clothing professional and can tell the quality of the fabric the moment he touches it.

"Two pieces of navy blue cotton, two pieces of yellow floral print, one foot of red cloth, and half a foot of lace."

"Comrade, why are you buying so much?"

The salesperson was puzzled. While packing the bags for her, he asked, "Is it a wedding at home? Or are you making work clothes for the company?"

"As for work clothes, we can make them for you. The labor fee is three dollars per piece. We can get a discount if you make a large quantity."

Shen Zhizhu did not answer but asked: "Do you buy ready-made clothes here?"

The salesperson was surprised: "You do it yourself?" Shen Zhizhu nodded calmly.

The salesperson curled his lips and said, "We only hire people with good skills here. People with average skills are not qualified to work in our store."

Shen Zhizhu took the cloth and hurried back home, finally arriving home before the sun set. He gulped down a gulp of cool water, then quickly started a fire and cooked.

I made a big stew with the leftovers from the wedding banquet, put it in a steamer and steamed some corn cakes.

When Xu Haonan came home from work, the house was dimly lit and the table was filled with the aroma of hot food.

The new bride looked at him with a smile and instructed him to wash his hands while serving him rice.
