70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

Luo Xiuqin swallowed.

return?

How will she repay it?

She gave her precious first time to Zhang Baocai.

And she is still not married.

Zhang Baocai also ignored her.

Once the food is eaten, how can it be returned?

"You owe me at least 200 jin of corn per year for three years. So, over three years, you owe me at least 600 jin of corn!"

Everyone gasped.

"Oh dear, Zhou Qingwen actually got Luo Xiuqin to eat 600 jin of corn!"

"My God! 600 pounds!"

Luo Xiuqin's eyes were red, and she bit her lip. She shouldn't have come out today!

Now, the whole village is watching her closely: "When are you going to pay back the grain you owe?"

Zhou Qingwen then said, "You won't return it? You can have the family that married you return it, consider it a dowry from them."

Luo Xiuqin's mother gasped in shock from the crowd: "What do you mean, 'return'? My daughter spent three years with you; that's a woman's youth, it's very valuable!"

Luo Xiuqin raised her head as if she had been rescued: "Oh, Luo Xiuqin's youth is valuable? Then let's dig into it."

When I hunt, I can catch six wolves a day if I'm lucky. Everyone knows how much that meat costs per pound.

Even if you, Luo Xiuqin, earn a full set of work points in a day, you would only have eight work points.

Let's do the math and see who got the better deal.

Everyone!

"You wouldn't know unless you did the math. If Zhou Qingwen had gone hunting three years earlier, their house would probably have been a new mud-brick and tile house by now!"

"That's right! Everyone knows that Zhou Qingwen went hunting not long after he separated from Luo Xiuqin!"

"Yes, the wolves and such that you hunt can be sold at the state-run restaurant in town, or to meat collectors."

"Yes, Zhou Qingwen's family is building a house now. See, life has gotten better for the Zhou family since they left Luo Xiuqin!"

"that is!"

"What does this mean? Luo Xiuqin is a bloodsucking leech!"

Luo Xiuqin's face turned pale and then flushed.

"Oh dear! I can't even imagine, who would dare to marry her?"

Luo Xiuqin's flat chest heaved slightly with anger.

Yu Yalan glanced at it and thought to herself, "Luckily, she's not the kind of woman who sucks other people's blood."

After Zhou Qingwen gave her a hair tie, she made a top in return. The fabric for the top was the same one she had smuggled into her clothes when she was sent down to the countryside.

Luo Xiuqin was furious: "I will find a way to return your grain!"

After saying that, Luo Xiuqin left with tears in her eyes.

Yu Yalan knows how to give.

For the first three years, Luo Xiuqin made Zhou Qingwen do all the work for her; of course, at that time, Zhou Qingwen was still the same person.

Zhou Qingwen certainly wouldn't pay any more attention to Luo Xiuqin now.

It's time to put an end to her arrogance.

They're always applying double standards to others.

What a disgusting person!

Luo Xiuqin's mother was so angry that she rushed to chase after Luo Xiuqin.

The onlookers dispersed immediately.

Yu Yalan said with slight nervousness, "If you put it that way, since I accepted those few pounds of wolf meat from you, shouldn't I think about what gift to give you in return?"

"A gift? That's just a hug."

Yu Yalan said shyly, "You naughty girl, I can't hug you in broad daylight."

"Okay, I'll come and hug you tonight."

Yu Yalan blushed so much that her ears turned red, and her cheeks turned even redder.

Zhou Qingwen said, "I treat Luo Xiuqin like this because she never contributes. Look, the shirt I'm wearing is the one you gave me. That's your contribution. You worked hard to make it, putting in both effort and fabric. I know how good you are."

Yu Yalan then said, "You've been with Luo Xiuqin for three years, and she's never made you a single piece of clothing?"

"No, really no!"

Yu Yalan watched Luo Xiuqin's departing figure and said, "She really is a bit of a spendthrift."

Zhou Qingwen glanced at Luo Xiuqin's retreating figure in the distance and said, "Let's go back. I bought you two pounds of steamed egg cakes, and I also have two pounds at home."

Yu Yalan laughed and said, "You sent me another sponge cake? Did you spend a lot of money?"

"Don't worry, I have money."

Zhou Qingwen now has a savings of 1,500 yuan.

This belongs to him.

Although it was in his mother's hands, it was still his.

However, Zhou Qingwen was far from satisfied with 1,500 yuan.

The money from selling the four wolf-headed creatures this time amounted to 165 yuan, which I will use for household purposes, so I didn't save any of it.

However, Liu Yue'e decided to add the 100 yuan she had deposited in Zhou Qingwen's account to the 1,500 yuan, bringing the total to 1,600 yuan.

The remaining 65 yuan will be used for household purposes.

Because Liu Yue'e said that the third son had not yet gotten married, and the third son, Zhou Qingwen, also said that he would prefer a bungalow in the future.

It should be built with at least two layers.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue'e's eyes widened!

That brat, he really knows how to spend money!

He's already spending the 1,600 yuan he's earned.

If he didn't still be single, the third son would probably be demanding a separation from the family.

This third brother has such a big heart!

What a worrying guy!

Liu Yue'e was so angry that she barely ate any lunch.

It's almost evening now, and Liu Yue'e has prepared dinner at home. The workers who work here have also gone home.

We won't be having dinner at the host's house tonight.

These workers all had a hearty lunch.

Because at Zhou Qingwen's family's lunch, each worker was guaranteed to get three to five pieces of wolf meat.

There was also minced meat in the soup.

Eating one meal at Zhou Qingwen's house is equivalent to eating three meals at their own home.

All-you-can-eat rice for lunch!

Everyone washed their hands and headed home.

I smelled the aroma of stir-fried wolf meat from Zhou Qingwen's house again.

The craftsmen almost wanted to stay for a meal.

However, I then thought that these days it's already good enough to have lunch, so I felt bad about asking for someone else's dinner.

They could only swallow their saliva and leave.

Zhou Qingwen returned home, took out two pounds of steamed egg cakes, and delivered them to Yu Yalan.

When Yu Yalan saw the sponge cake, she took a deep sniff: "It smells so good, I haven't had it in so long."

"Okay, you guys can eat these as snacks tonight. I'm heading back now."

"Okay, thank you."

"We're a couple, you're welcome."

"Okay, sure."

Yu Yalan tightened her grip on the sponge cake in her hand, her mouth watering.

It's obvious they were craving it.

In the evening, Yu Yalan and her family sat down to eat chicken cake, looking very happy.

The same was true at Zhou Qingwen's family. Everyone was drinking wolf meat porridge, eating vegetables, and wolf meat stewed with sauerkraut. The adults would take a piece of egg cake to taste.

The rest was given to Zhou Jinfeng to eat.

Zhou Jinfeng's little mouth was stuffed with one in one go!

It's just like a little hamster, eating so fast and in such a hurry.

"Did Jinfeng eat so much chicken cake today that he's full?"

Zhou Jinfeng said with a smile, "I'm just too full!"

The whole family laughed and said, "Okay, go take a shower and walk around the door for a bit to digest your food."

"Alright, all set!"

Zhou Jinfeng then went with his sister-in-law to fetch water for a bath.

The rest of the people sat down and chatted casually for a few minutes.

At this moment, the eldest brother said, "Third brother, I heard about what you did to Luo Xiuqin this afternoon. You did the right thing! That family of theirs is utterly despicable!"
