Chapter 66 Neighbors Come to Visit



"Zhihuan, did we disturb you?"

Qin Bin lowered his eyes to look at Shen Zhihuan's messy hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Could this girl be any cuter?

"No." Shen Zhihuan covered his mouth and yawned, then turned to the well to fetch water for washing.

While Shen Zhihuan was washing her face, Li Qiuhua had already brought the rice porridge, steamed buns and steamed eggs that she had warmed in the pot for Shen Zhihuan to the dining table.

"Fifth brother, Brother Huang, have you had breakfast? Would you like some?" Shen Zhihuan glanced at the food on the table and smiled and greeted the two men who had just moved the cotton wool and were washing their hands by the well.

"I've already eaten, but Fifth Master was busy going to Master Tan to get cotton wool and didn't have time to eat." Huang Xiaoer smiled.

When Li Qiuhua heard this, she hurried to the kitchen and got out a bowl of rice porridge.

Perhaps because he felt that just a steamed egg and half a plate of pickled vegetables was a bit shabby, Li Qiuhua added two fresh cucumbers that he had picked that morning and mixed them in.

"There's nothing good in the countryside, Xiao Qin, so just make do with what you have." Li Qiuhua happily pushed the dishes in front of Qin Bin.

Shen Zhihuan held back his laughter and took a steamed bun and started to eat it.

I don’t know who said yesterday not to interact with others?

When they came today, even my own daughter had to step aside.

Shen Zhihuan's muffled laughter earned a big eye roll from Li Qiuhua.

"After you finish breakfast, go to the agency store and buy some meat and pastries. Remember to buy two bottles of wine." Li Qiuhua said as he took out a big unity and several bills from his pocket and put them on the dining table in front of Shen Zhihuan.

"Isn't it there?" Shen Zhihuan pointed to the net bag on the low cabinet beside him.

Li Qiuhua glared at Shen Zhihuan and said, "I'm going to visit your two little nieces this afternoon. As their aunt, how can you not bring some cakes and snacks?"

If she didn't bring more, with Old Lady Qian's temper, she was really afraid that not a single bit would fall into the mouths of those two little girls.

Respectable families generally won't touch things brought from their daughter-in-law's parents' home, but the old woman in the Qian family is the kind of person who plucks the feathers of a passing goose and leaves the skin of an animal when it leaves.

Not to mention being decent, she doesn't even care about her face.

Li Qiuhua couldn't help but sigh secretly.

I don't know if these two quilts...

"Okay, okay, I'll go clear out the agency store and kill that old woman from the Qian family." Shen Zhihuan sighed helplessly.

The original owner's eldest sister was unlucky to have such a scoundrel and rogue mother-in-law.

The most pitiful ones are the two little girls.

She felt bad just thinking about it, and she didn't know how the original owner's elder sister could endure it.

Rely on love? Such a terrible love...

No need!

Li Qiuhua glanced at Qin Bin, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, she secretly rolled her eyes at Shen Zhihuan.

How could she raise such a heartless thing?

Don't let dirty laundry be made public. Don't you understand?

"Mom, Aunt Wang is looking for you." Xiao Weidong's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Xiao Qin, eat more. I'll go see what's going on with Aunt Wang." Li Qiuhua responded, said hello to Qin Bin, and then strode out of the main room.

Qin Bin watched Li Qiuhua walk away and whispered, "Is that old woman Qian you mentioned your eldest sister's mother-in-law?"

"Hmm!" Shen Zhihuan picked up a piece of tender cucumber and threw it into her mouth. "Even if a dung picker passed by her gate, she would use her finger to dip it to taste the saltiness."

“…”

Huang Xiaoer, who was sitting at the door of the main room, listening to the noise with his ears pricked up, almost choked to death on his own saliva.

This girl is too...

Rough.

This is at the dinner table.

I didn't hear the sound of chopsticks being put down as I imagined.

Huang Xiaoer secretly glanced inside.

Seeing that his grandfather looked normal as he ate steamed buns and some crunchy mixed cucumbers.

Huang Xiaoer was stunned.

"You have a second sister?" Qin Bin asked in a low voice with a smile on his face.

"Are you here to deliver something? Or are you here to check the household registration?" Shen Zhihuan finished the rice porridge in the bowl in two mouthfuls and put down his chopsticks.

"You have a bad relationship with your second sister?" Qin Bin raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Shen Zhihuan frowned and glared at him impatiently.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Qin Bin raised his hands in surrender.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Fifth brother, how much are these cotton wools?" Seeing him put down his bowl and chopsticks, Shen Zhihuan stood up to clean up.

"One hundred and fifty dollars."

Qin Bin originally wanted to say that he didn't want any money, but when he thought of Shen Zhihuan's temper, he had to pay the cost price.

Shen Zhihuan nodded and went back to the house.

When he came out again, he had fifteen more Great Unity cards in his hand.

"Fifth brother, thank you so much! If you need anything in the future that I can help you with, just let me know." Shen Zhihuan smiled and placed the fifteen big unity cards in front of Qin Bin.

"Are you serious?" Qin Bin raised his eyebrows.

"I can't do anything illegal, such as murder, arson, and crime." Shen Zhihuan suddenly became alert.

"In your heart, I am..."

Hearing footsteps approaching, Shen Zhihuan grabbed the fifteen big unity notes placed in front of Qin Bin and stuffed them directly into his chest pocket.

Qin Bin felt the soft and burning fingertips gently sliding across his chest, stirring up waves of heat.

It was more like a drop of oil splashing into my heart from a boiling iron furnace, crackling and emitting sparks.

When the footsteps reached the door of the main room, Shen Zhihuan had already cleaned up the dishes and was about to go out.

"Aunt Wang, please come in and sit down." Shen Zhihuan glanced at Li Qiuhua who was hesitant to speak, and moved aside.

"Hey!" Wang Lianhua nodded with a smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Zhihuan stepped into the kitchen with the bowl in his hand, Li Qiuhua and Wang Lianhua followed in.

"Zhihuan..." Wang Lianhua looked a little uncomfortable. She thought for a long time but didn't know how to start.

"Your brother Chungen has found a girl and is getting married next month." Li Qiuhua glanced at the entrance to the main room through the crack in the kitchen door and said in a low voice.

"Brother Chungen is getting married, that's a good thing!" Shen Zhihuan said with a smile.

Your Aunt Wang asked someone and they all said that the cotton production is low this year and the supply and marketing cooperatives are also limiting the supply. Your Aunt Wang asked many people but still couldn’t buy cotton.”

"I want you to ask Xiao Qin if he can help buy some more cotton."

"Aunt Wang, how much cotton are you going to buy?" Shen Zhihuan thought for a while.

"If possible, I would like to buy 20 kilograms of cotton, one for your brother Chungen, one for Chunxi to use when she gets married in the future, and the rest to sew a jacket for your new sister-in-law and Chunxi respectively." Wang Lianhua said a little embarrassedly.

Cotton is in short supply these days.

The cotton in the supply and marketing cooperative has long been monopolized by those with connections.

If she hadn't really had no other choice, she wouldn't have been so shameless as to come and ask for help.

"If you can't buy that many, then just buy one bed and give it to your brother Chungen first, and then Chunxi's. We'll think of a way when she gets married." Wang Lianhua was afraid that Shen Zhihuan would be embarrassed, so she quickly added.
