Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Me, sister-in-law?" Lin Tingting's smile froze instantly. It was as if she had just seen Su Wanqing. She looked Su Wanqing up and down, her eyes filled with disdain.

Oh, in the original story, Lin Tingting, the cousin of the male lead who is obsessed with love, often causes trouble for the original owner. She even goes to the countryside to follow the male lead to cause trouble. Lin Tingting and her evil mother-in-law are the vicious female supporting characters who bully the original owner.

Su Wanqing naturally took Zhou Yanshen's arm, revealing an incredibly natural and intimate smile:

"Hello cousin, I'm Su Wanqing, Yan Shen's husband. We just got our marriage certificate yesterday, and he came with me today to buy some wedding supplies."

"Really? Why didn't Auntie tell me?" Lin Tingting's face turned deathly pale, forcing a weak smile. "Congratulations... I'm also buying some things, let's do it together!"

Lin Tingting clenched her clothes. What was going on? She had already arranged for the Su family girl to be given to Hao Jianguo, so how did another one appear and even get a marriage certificate with Zhou Yanshen? No, she had to ruin this marriage. Zhou Yanshen could only be hers!

Su Wanqing smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Okay."

They went to the nearest fabric counter first. Remembering the harsh conditions in their new post, where fabric could be used as hard currency, even to exchange for food, and to build good relationships with the locals, she said directly:

"Comrade, give me ten and a half feet of this most labor-intensive cloth."

Lin Tingting covered her nose with a handkerchief: "This fabric is so stiff and the color is so tacky. You might be able to wear it out, but could Brother Yanshen wear it out? My cousin has never suffered like this before!"

What she said wasn't wrong. Zhou Yanshen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he probably didn't care about material things since he had never lacked anything.

Su Wanqing said righteously, "Cousin, you're wrong about that. Chairman Mao taught us that 'diligence and thrift are our family heirlooms.' This cloth is sturdy and durable, truly reflecting the spirit of the working people. Yan Shen and I are revolutionary comrades; wearing it to build the country and serve the people, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Zhou Yanshen nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Lin Tingting, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Comrade Wanqing is absolutely right. When it comes to clothing and accessories, practicality and sound ideology are paramount. If you say anything like that again, you shouldn't follow us anymore."

Lin Tingting blushed, speechless, and protested softly, "We've already said we should be thrifty, yet she still bought so much. She'll have to wear it until her next life!"

Su Wanqing looked at Zhou Yanshen and said, "After my father passed away, his comrades helped me a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the job at the health center. Now that we're getting married, we should let our old comrades know. So I thought I'd buy them some cloth to thank them."

Well, the main reason for buying more cloth was to exchange it for some openly available grain with the locals after being sent down to the countryside, and to build good relationships with them.

Zhou Yanshen nodded seriously: "Comrade Su Wanqing makes a lot of sense."

"Are you done arguing? Do you still want it or not? If you don't, I'm busy!" the saleswoman urged impatiently from the side.

Zhou Yanshen: "Comrades, please."

So the salesman grumbled and handed over a large bolt of cloth. Su Wanqing paid with money and cloth coupons. One foot of cloth cost 5 cents plus the coupons. Su Wanqing spent 55 yuan just on the cloth.

Afterwards, Su Wanqing bought some cotton flannel, wool yarn, military green rubber shoes, and work boots in the fabric section, spending 68 yuan. These scarce items are now officially available, and later they can not only be sold but also exchanged for other items on the black market after receiving 10 times the amount of supplies.

Su Wanqing's eyes were only filled with a thirst for supplies. She bought anything useful she saw. After finishing the fabric section, she went to the daily necessities section and bought a "Sanwu" brand table clock, a "Changcheng" brand flashlight, a metal thermos, "Zhonghua" toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, towels, enamel basins, enamel mugs...

Su Wanqing couldn't even imagine what a wonderful life she would have in the countryside after having all these things.

Lin Tingting grimaced as she watched, muttering under her breath, "You bumpkin!"

Zhou Yanshen was like a standard execution robot. Whenever there was something, he would immediately grab it with lightning speed. In no time, even the side of his cane was covered with things.

"Cousin, don't just stand around. Look, your brother Yanshen is already overflowing with clothes. Here, take them."

Su Wanqing was completely unceremonious, and Zhou Yanshen nodded.

"Your cousin's wife isn't very strong, so you can help carry more."

"Then why didn't she take any?"

Lin Tingting felt like she was going crazy with anger. At first, she thought this woman was just a country bumpkin with no taste and only knew how to buy work clothes. But when they got to the food counter, this woman didn't hold back at all and bought whatever was expensive!

She stuffed milk candies, fruit hard candies, canned fruit, and canned luncheon meat into her arms like they were free! A small can of luncheon meat costs 5 yuan!

She usually can't bear to buy them!

Just buying these foods cost Yan Shen two months' salary!

These good things don't require coupons, so we should buy more in the city now! These things will be extremely scarce when we go to the countryside; you won't find them there at all!

Lin Tingting couldn't take it anymore: "Cousin, aren't you going to do anything about your wife? It's not even a holiday, why is she wasting money like this? She's not frugal at all!"

"Hmm. How can buying food supplements be considered a waste? She can buy as much as she wants as she can eat." Zhou Yanshen felt sorry for Su Wanqing, who was so thin and small, and thought she needed some nourishment. He then asked Su Wanqing, "Is this enough? Should we buy some more?"

Su Wanqing took out a handkerchief and wiped away non-existent sweat from Zhou Yanshen. "You've worked hard, Comrade Zhou Yanshen. Let's go buy some more malted milk powder to nourish you too."

"It's not hard work." Zhou Yanshen felt full of energy.

Lin Tingting stomped her foot. This woman was so affected! Didn't her cousin hate women like that the most?! It was infuriating!!

She thinks it's wasteful for her to buy a pair of leather shoes for 38 yuan, but this woman doesn't think it's wasteful for her to spend hundreds of yuan on food. How can my cousin be so hypocritical!

Later, Su Wanqing was carrying noodles, malted milk powder, and other items. She had used up almost all the coupons she had and couldn't carry any more. That's when she left the department store. Fortunately, Zhou Yanshen had prepared several large woven bags issued by the labor protection agency in the car and packed all the items into several large bags.

"Comrade Zhou Yanshen, are you hungry? You're a wounded soldier, you should eat something good. Come on, I'll treat you to something delicious."

Lin Tingting was indignant. Why should her cousin carry so many things when he was injured?

Lin Tingting insisted on following the two into the state-run "Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant". Su Wanqing ordered braised pork, chicken stew with mushrooms, stewed fish, stir-fried vegetables and rice.

As expected of something so natural and pollution-free, it's delicious! Su Wanqing ate with great relish, finishing two bowls of rice and drinking a large bowl of soup all by herself.

Even Zhou Yanshen found today's food exceptionally delicious, and he ate three large bowls in one go.

Lin Tingting poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks. "Sister-in-law, you eat way too much!"
