Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Wait! Shaoli! I think there's some misunderstanding between us!"

Seeing that Wu Shaoli was becoming increasingly agitated, Fang Wei quickly and gently comforted her, "I'm not going to the city to gamble! I'm going to..."

He stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

This is the courtyard. The two of them were arguing like that just now, so there must be someone eavesdropping. It's not appropriate to talk about what they bought.

"Speak!"

When Wu Shaoli saw that he stopped talking halfway through his sentence, she thought he was guilty and yelled, "What exactly are you going to do in the city?!"

"...I went to the city to find work."

Fang Wei picked up the basket from the ground and walked towards the house, continuing, "On my way back, I made a special trip to see my parents-in-law."

"What?!"

Wu Shaoli was shocked that he had gone to see her parents. She exclaimed in a panic, "You went and scammed my parents out of their money again?!"

"..."

At that moment, Fang Wei really wanted to punch himself twice.

What the hell is that?!

What terrible things did he do in the past that everyone thinks he's just trying to freeload when they hear him say this?!

"no."

Although Fang Wei was a little tired, he still smiled and said, "Shao Li, why don't you put the knife down first? We can talk about it inside."

"I don't!"

Upon hearing him tell her to put down the knife, Wu Shaoli became even more agitated. "Why should I listen to you?! I've had enough of what you say!"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried that you would hurt yourself."

Fang Wei sighed. "If you're not willing to let go, then forget it. Come inside and talk, is that alright?"

"..."

Wu Shaoli wiped away her tears, not quite understanding why he insisted on letting her come inside to talk.

"I swear to you, I really didn't gamble."

Fang Wei kicked the basket that had been placed on the ground again and said seriously, "I really am going to do something important."

Only then did Wu Shaoli focus her attention on the basket on her back.

What's going on? Didn't Fang Wei go to the city? How come there's more pig feed than when he didn't go out this morning?

"you……"

She suddenly remembered that Fang Wei had also carried food home in a basket yesterday. Could it be?!

"Is it... inside?!"

Wu Shaoli pointed to the basket on the ground, her voice suddenly becoming much lower, so much so that even Fang Wei could hardly hear her.

"Um."

Fang Wei looked at his wife's excited yet incredulous expression and nodded with a smile.

"real?!"

Upon hearing his confession, Wu Shaoli excitedly grabbed the knife and ran into the house.

"Watch out! Watch out!"

Fang Wei took two steps back in fear.

He wasn't afraid of those ruthless gangsters wielding knives, but he was afraid of honest people like his wife who could suddenly erupt in anger.

Seeing the expression on Fang Wei's face, and then looking at the kitchen knife in her hand, Wu Shaoli smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I... um... don't be afraid, I'll put the knife down."

After saying that, she put the knife on the table.

Silly girl!

Fang Wei shook his head inwardly.

What if he was deliberately lying? What if there was nothing in the basket at all?

He actually managed to trick me into handing over the knife with just a few words.

That's so stupid.

"Everything is inside. Open it up and take a look yourself."

Fang Wei walked over, closed the door, and said with a smile.

Wu Shaoli felt a little strange and excited when she saw that he had deliberately closed the door.

Is it really a good thing?

Without saying another word, she put all the pig feed from her basket on the ground and immediately spotted the unpackaged bucket of cooking oil.

？ ！！

"You! Why did you buy so much oil?!"

With a quick pull, Wu Shaoli lifted the bucket of oil out; it turned out to be a five-pound bucket!

"We don't need that much oil at home! How many years would this last?!"

Although she was very excited, she still remembered not to speak loudly, and shouted in a very low voice.

"It's okay, just use plenty of oil when you stir-fry. This little bit of oil won't last long."

Fang Wei said with a smile, "There are other things too, keep looking."

"Why put so much oil in stir-frying? As long as it tastes good, that's enough!"

Wu Shaoli gave him a reproachful look, thought for a moment, and took out all the kraft paper packages from the basket.

Start by opening the largest package.

White floral fabric, pink fabric, rice, white flour, meat, White Rabbit milk candy, clam oil.

"Where did you get the money to buy so much stuff?!"

Wu Shaoli's hands were trembling as she finished disassembling the package. She asked in a panic, "You didn't go and do something illegal, did you?!"

These things together cost tens of dollars!

How could Fang Wei suddenly have so much money?!

"Not only these, but also this."

Fang Wei took out the money he kept close to his body and waved it in front of his wife. "It's forty-seven yuan and eighty cents in total."

Wu Shaoli stared at the money, her eyes wide with disbelief.

It wasn't that she was greedy, but with this money, her daughters would no longer have to live such a hard life!

Can……

"Fang Wei, tell me the truth."

Wu Shaoli's lips trembled slightly as she whispered, "Did you go to steal or rob?"

"How could I possibly do something like that?"

Fang Wei stuffed the money into his wife's hand and said with a smile, "Didn't you ask me this morning why I was wandering around the mountains in the middle of the night?"

"Actually, when I went to the mountain to catch rabbits yesterday, I found a wild Ganoderma lucidum on the back mountain."

"I was afraid of being seen digging during the day, so I went at night."

Wu Shaoli stared blankly at the money in her hand, unable to believe that Fang Wei would actually give her money!

"Besides wild Ganoderma lucidum, I also got some wild game."

Fang Wei, afraid she would worry, didn't say it was a snake. "It sold for a total of seventy-seven yuan, and the total cost of these things was a little over twenty yuan."

"Didn't I just say that I went to see my parents-in-law? I also bought them some pork and brown sugar."

"Here's the rest of the money."

"..."

Wu Shaoli was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

She felt like she was dreaming, yet it all felt so real.

"The white floral fabric and clam oil are for you, and the pink fabric and White Rabbit candy are for the girls."

Fang Wei placed the clam oil into Wu Shaoli's hand.

"The salesperson said that applying this product twice a day, morning and night, is very good for the skin."

"I originally thought it would be easier to just take the fabric to a tailor and have it made, but I don't know your and your daughters' sizes, so I can only bring it back first."

"Why bother with a tailor? What a waste of money! I'll do it myself!"

Wu Shaoli subconsciously replied, but seeing that Wang Wei was just smiling at her, she felt inexplicably embarrassed.

"What I mean is... my sewing skills are also... okay."

"Just be yourself."

Wang Wei shook his head, not really agreeing. "Just take the girls' measurements and find a tailor to make them."

"Need not!"

Wu Shaoli panicked and quickly said, "I can manage! Don't waste money hiring outsiders!"
