Chapter 102 What Hard-earned Money



Shen Zhihuan started to sort out the pile of clothes as soon as he came back from picking vegetables in the fields.

Coats, down jackets and thick coats are hung on ropes under the eaves with newly purchased hangers to allow them to breathe.

As for sweaters, shirts, trousers and other close-fitting items, they were washed with soap and dried in the sun.

There were not enough ropes for drying clothes, so Shen Zhihuan found a few bamboo poles and built a few simple clothesline.

While cooking, every corner of the yard, except for the aisle in the middle, was filled with clothes hanging out to dry.

"Shen Zhihuan, you're such a spendthrift! These new clothes haven't even been worn yet, but you threw them all into the water. Are you afraid that they won't rot, right?!"

Lin Tianxia came out with the braised pork and looked at the clothes fluttering in the wind all over the yard. She felt so distressed that her heart ached.

If she had so many new clothes, she would have to cherish them like treasures. This wasteful thing really doesn't cost her own money and she doesn't know how to feel sorry for it.

"I just saw that the clothes were a little wrinkled, so I wanted to let some water soak in." Shen Zhihuan rubbed his sore neck.

These days, there aren’t as many requirements as in later generations.

She wanted to tell Lin Tianxia that new clothes might contain excessive amounts of harmful substances, or that new clothes might look new but not clean, and might have bacteria after being touched by someone...

Lin Tianxia would definitely think she was crazy.

"The clothes are wrinkled. Just hang them for two days and they will be smooth. If that doesn't work, just use an enamel pot to fill with hot water and iron them! Why do you have to be so messy?" Lin Tianxia poked Shen Zhihuan's forehead in annoyance.

"You are such a spendthrift. How will your mother-in-law tolerate you in the future?"

"You're so nagging! How will your mother-in-law tolerate you in the future?" Shen Zhihuan laughed.

"Shen Zhihuan, I'm talking about you now." Lin Tianxia pouted and stomped her feet in anger.

"Lin Tianxia, ​​I'm talking about you too." Shen Zhihuan reached out and pinched Lin Tianxia's angry little face.

Lin Tianxia looks like Lin Maojiang, with a fair oval face, crescent-shaped eyebrows, a small and delicate nose, and a cherry mouth. She is the type that may not be stunning at first glance, but becomes more beautiful the more you look at her.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. If you delay any longer, the furniture delivery person will be here soon." Li Qiuhua came out with the bone soup.

"Okay!" Lin Tianxia swallowed and rushed to the well quickly.

The gluttony in her stomach was aroused when the braised pork was still in the pot.

Shen Zhihuan smiled and slowly followed him to the well.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

As soon as they put down their bowls and chopsticks, the furniture deliveryman knocked on the Shen family's gate.

As soon as Li Qiuhua opened the gate, a large group of villagers rushed in to watch the fun.

The men who were delivering furniture were squeezed so hard that they had no place to stand.

"Jian Guo, this big wardrobe your family bought is not cheap, right?" Li Zhaodi stood next to the furniture cart, stroking the dressing mirror in the middle of the brown wardrobe with envy on her face.

"All the boxes at home are broken and there is no place to put the clothes. I have to throw them here and there. There is really no other way." Li Qiuhua smiled.

"You are the one who built the country. Your girl Zhihuan has really made great progress. She bought three sets of these big wardrobes. Wang Baotian's family didn't even buy such a grand wardrobe for their son when he married a daughter-in-law." Someone in the crowd laughed.

"Such a grand wardrobe, one set must cost several dozen! My God! Three sets must cost one or two hundred."

"It won't cost more than a hundred or two hundred to marry a fat wife!"

"It's no use being jealous! Who told you that you can't give birth like those who built the country? If you can give birth to a daughter as beautiful and lovable as Zhihuan, there will be people who will rush to give you money and gifts." Fu Guihua curled her lips.

A little girl can earn money by writing a few words? You are kidding! There are so many people in the village who can write, but none of them can earn money. Only she can?! Do you really think she is stupid?

Who knows where the money came from? Just based on the face of the little vixen, there are probably many men out there who are eager to be taken advantage of! "Fu Guihua, you ate lunch in the toilet, didn't you?!" Li Qiuhua frowned.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward.

The delivery man quickly squeezed over and asked, "Sister-in-law, which room can I move these wardrobes to for you?"

There was a dressing mirror in the middle of the wardrobe, which would break if it was knocked. The deliverymen did not dare to be careless. They took steady steps and moved slowly inside.

"Why didn't I see the two men who delivered the things this morning?" Someone in the crowd whispered.

"The tall one is more handsome than the boy from Su Changhe's family."

"He looks quite rich. Every time he comes to the Shen family, he brings a lot of stuff. He never goes home empty-handed."

Listening to everyone's envious words, Fu Guihua spat and walked away with her waist twisted.

So what if he is handsome? So what if he is rich? As long as they are not married, they can always regret it.

It was noisy outside and people were watching the fun.

Inside, the delivery man saw that Shen Zhihuan's family consisted of women and children, and there was no one who could lend a hand, so he helped them carry out the broken cabinets in the house to make room for the wardrobe.

After several trips back and forth, all three sets of wardrobes were put into the house.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Shen Zhihuan took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to one of the deliverymen, "Brother, you have worked really hard today. Use this ten yuan to buy a bottle of wine to relieve your fatigue."

The delivery men were visibly stunned.

They have been delivering goods at the furniture market for at least eight years, earning fifteen yuan a month.

All the work is hard.

Hard work is hard work.

Can……

No one has ever given them any hard-earned money.

"How can this be..." the delivery man said a little embarrassedly.

Ten yuan! It's half a month's salary for them.

"Take it!" Shen Zhihuan smiled and stuffed the package into the deliveryman's hands.

"Then let us...let us help you dismantle these broken cabinets." said the delivery man, calling on several other delivery men to start working.

The little girl was so generous, it was only right for them to lend a hand.

As soon as the leader opened his mouth, they started to take action.

"No need! We'll do it ourselves later." Li Qiuhua said quickly.

"We are strong, so this won't be a big deal."

"Yes! It's just a matter of seconds."

"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite with us." The deliverymen said with a smile.

It was said to be just a few moves, and it really was just a few moves.

Soon, the rotten cabinet was dismantled into pieces by the delivery man and piled into the firewood pile.

Even the nails on the rotten wood were cleaned up neatly.

Seeing this, Li Qiuhua felt guilty.

They came to deliver goods, but ended up helping them tidy up those two broken cabinets.

Before sending the people out, Li Qiuhua went back to the house and stuffed the two kilograms of biscuits that Shen Zhihuan had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative into the delivery man's pocket as a token of gratitude.
