21: Leave early and earn money early

Shen Zian returned to the thatched hut in the backyard and saw Su Zhi sitting on the bed sewing something. Her look was like a spring breeze, which revived his heart, which had been numbed and cold by Shen Youfu's words and deeds. He thought that he still had her. With a wife, he could have his own home in the future and would no longer live among a group of people and feel like an outsider.

"What are you doing? Don't get tired."

Shen Zian came back as usual, and did not start talking about the division of the family property. Instead, he looked at the things in Su Zhi's hand and asked. He found that his wife's hands were really skillful. She cooked delicious food, sewed clothes with very fine stitches, and the patches were sewn there. As long as the color was the same, it was almost impossible to tell that they were added later. Now she was sewing something in her hand, the needle moved very fast, and her hands fluttered up and down like butterflies, which was particularly beautiful. He felt that he had picked up a treasure.

Su Zhi bit off the thread with her teeth, raised her head and smiled at him, saying, "I took out some cotton when I took apart the quilt that day. You can't wear any of your old clothes anymore, so I made you a pair of these. The weather is getting colder, and wearing these will make your hands more comfortable and won't freeze."

Now that the weather is getting colder, Su Zhi sees that Shen Zian is always busy and can't take a break, so she thought of making a pair of gloves for him.

Shen Zian was happy, thinking that his wife must have thought about it a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have pulled the cotton out of the quilt. It was great to have a wife who understood his feelings. He must treat his wife better.

"You should also make one, don't be cold."

"Okay, got it." Su Zhi asked Shen Zian to try on a finished glove. Although his hands were a little rough from doing too much work, they were still slender and good-looking. The glove fit him very well. Su Zhi nodded, "It fits very well. Wait until I make another one and sew a strap on it. Then you can hang it around your neck and wear it anytime."

Shen Zian was reluctant to take off the gloves he was wearing. He looked left and right and praised: "Wife, you are so smart. You can actually make such a good thing. Did you remember it after seeing others wearing it?"

Su Zhi looked at Shen Zian's surprised expression, blinked, and said: "This glove is very easy to make. I'm not as smart as you say."

"Is this called a glove? It's a very appropriate name for a pair of gloves that you put on your hands. It's really good. With it, you can work much warmer in the winter. It's more convenient than a gauntlet."

When Su Zhi heard the name "hand cuff", she wondered what it was. She didn't ask, thinking she would know it in the future, but she guessed it was something to protect the hands in winter.

"Zi'an, have you never seen gloves?"

Shen Zian shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it. Wife, have you ever seen anyone use it when you were a nun? It must have been used by people from far away, right? I've never seen anyone use it, not even the people from the wealthy families in the city. This is really comfortable and convenient, and better than a handcuff. Once you use a handcuff, you can't work, but you can still work with this one. And you can hold the handcuffs at will after you take them off, unlike this one, which can be tied with a belt as you said."

Su Zhi thought that there really were no gloves here. What dynasty was this? She couldn't tell from the clothes. She hadn't asked about it these days. She couldn't ask what year it was. She would have to find out later. But from the fact that there were no gloves, it was clear that this was not a very advanced dynasty. She didn't care. She thought that being not advanced had its advantages. At least it was convenient for her to make money and miss home. Maybe she could make some money with these gloves.

Su Zhi was happy thinking that she had found a way to make money just by earning a cent. She thought that since the old Taoist said she was a lucky star, she would show everyone how good a lucky star was at making money, and let them see how well Shen Zian and she were living!

"Has the family been divided up?"

Su Zhi was in a good mood. She planned to use the gloves to make money as soon as she left the family. The sooner she left, the better, so as to avoid staying here and having all the inconveniences, which would delay her time in making money. Winter was coming soon, and she had to make money as soon as possible so that she and Shen Zian could spend a warm winter.

The smile on Shen Zian's face froze. He put down his gloves, held Su Zhi's hand, and said apologetically, "Wife, I'm sorry to make you suffer. The family has been divided up, and we will move somewhere else today. The house there is a bit shabby. But don't worry, I will fix the house better, and I will work hard to make money, so that life will gradually get better."

Su Zhi was delighted to hear that she could leave right away. She said, "It doesn't matter if the house is broken, as long as we are together. I will make money with you, and we will live a good life together."

Seeing that Su Zhi was still smiling and saying such heartwarming words to him, Shen Zian felt relaxed and began to give up hope for the future.

Shen Zian was going to move the sundries in the front first, and then move the things in the thatched house. He told Su Zhi and then went to the front yard.

Shen Zigui had been waiting at the door, weaving a basket. When he saw Shen Zian coming, he stood up. He looked a little awkward and said, "Fourth brother, my eldest brother just went out. He said he had something urgent to do. Let's move first."

Shen Zian glanced at his eldest brother's door and saw Chunxiang coming out. When she saw him looking over, she lowered her head and her face turned red. After a pause, she came over and said, "Fourth Uncle, my father has gone out for something. How about I help you move some things?"

Shen Zian looked at Chunxiang's expression, then at his second brother's, and was a little confused without knowing what was going on. He knew it was his eldest sister-in-law's idea, so he didn't care and said to Chunxiang, "It's not a lot of stuff, it will be moved in a few minutes. You, a young lady, shouldn't move all this, or you'll get tired and fall. You should go back and take care of yourself."

Chunxiang went back with her head down, thinking to herself, "Mother is such a fool. Why did she ask father not to care about Fourth Uncle? Fourth Uncle is usually very good to them. Even if he marries Fourth Aunt, he will still be very good. The fortune teller said that Fourth Aunt is not unlucky for everyone. Aren't they fine these days? Third Aunt and the others always pretend to be sick. Who knows if it has anything to do with Fourth Aunt!" Mother is really too suspicious. Of course, it is not ruled out that she still hates Shen Zian for rejecting the marriage she proposed.

There weren’t many things, so the Shen family had a flatbed truck, and they loaded everything on it and took it away.

The second car loaded all the things in the thatched house and took away Su Zhi.

Su Zhi took a look at the thatched house and thought that she was finally leaving. She had no regrets, but she liked the yellow chrysanthemums that Shen Zian dug out for her. Su Zhi finally saw the front of the Shen family. She felt that although the rooms of the Shen family were not new, they were not shabby. They ate such meals every day, all for the sake of Shen Ziju, as Shen Zian called him. If they didn't separate, she didn't know how long they would live like this. She thought that she would rather live in a shabby house than in such a house. It was better to separate the family. They could build a new house by themselves.

There was no one in the yard, it seemed that everyone had hidden themselves.

Su Zhi didn't care. She walked out of the door with confidence. At Shen Zian's persuasion, she got on the flatbed truck. Without even looking at the Shen family's door, she set off for her new home with a relaxed mood.

***Thanks to sister May for the amulet. There will be another update at 5pm today. I will continue to ask for votes. Dear ones, don’t you find that the votes and ratio of E Guang are very unbalanced? I want to cry but I have no tears.
