When Fang Wei left the supply and marketing cooperative, his basket was already full of things, and he had twenty-seven yuan less than usual, leaving him with only fifty yuan.

To avoid attracting attention, he covered the things with weeds.

It's still early, plenty of time, before the five o'clock Chen Dajiao mentioned.

As Fang Wei walked along the road, looking for anything unusual or delicious that he could buy to take home for his wife and daughter to try, he also mentally planned how to spend the remaining money.

The house that collapsed on one side definitely needs to be repaired.

Otherwise, when it gets cold, the wind blows into the house, and the girls shiver from the cold.

There are many good things in the mountains, but how much can you carry back by just two legs? And not everything can be sold for the price of wild Ganoderma lucidum.

I need to save up some capital and find another way to make a living.

and also……

On the way back, we'll pass by my parents-in-law's house. Should we buy something and go visit them?

In his previous life, his relationship with Wu Shaoli's family was extremely bad.

He not only squandered Wu Shaoli's dowry, but also repeatedly borrowed money from his in-laws.

To put it nicely, it's called borrowing; to put it bluntly, it's just asking for money.

Later, his father-in-law got so angry with him that one day he took a carrying pole and beat him out of the yard, and even threatened that he would never allow him to step into his house again.

The relationship in this life isn't as bad as it was in the last life, but it's just that I wasn't kicked out of the house.

Fang Wei stood there and sighed. He then went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a pound of pork and brown sugar, intending to give them as gifts when he went to apologize.

When he returned to where he got off the bus, he found that Chen Dajiao was already waiting there.

"Dawei, you're back?"

Chen Dajiao glanced at the two brown paper packages Fang Wei was carrying and laughed, "Weren't you out looking for work? Why did you buy things?"

"Oh, this is just a little something to eat."

Fang Wei gave a wry smile, "I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found any work. So I was thinking of going to ask my father-in-law later to see if he could help me find some jobs."

"oh oh!"

Chen Dajiao nodded. So this kid was planning to take some food to his father-in-law's house to freeload, wasn't he afraid of getting beaten up?

He said that Wang Wei was known for being lazy and gluttonous, so how could he suddenly change his ways?

"Big Foot, are you done with your business so early?"

Wang Wei pretended not to see the disdain on Chen Dajiao's face and still smiled, saying, "Didn't we agree to go back at five o'clock?"

"Someone helped out today, so it'll be quick."

Chen Dajiao didn't intend to explain in detail, but simply said, "If you have nothing else to do, let's go back to the village now. Aunt Yang has already gone back in someone else's car."

"it is good."

Wang Wei readily agreed, first putting the basket on the trailer, then climbing onto the vehicle. "I'll trouble you to stop by my father-in-law's village for a bit, Brother Big Foot."

"no problem."

Chen Dajiao's gaze swept over the basket for a moment before quickly looking away.

Strange! Was the pile of grass in Wang Wei's basket this high when he was in the car this morning?

However, he didn't ask. What good things could Wang Wei, a penniless guy, possibly buy?

……

"Thanks, cousin!"

Wang Wei, carrying a basket on his back, stood by the roadside and shouted to Chen Dajiao, "Next time you have the chance, I'll treat you to a meal."

"No need, no need."

Chen Dajiao looked down on their food. Wu Shaoli and her daughters were so thin they looked like dry firewood. If she ate there, she would probably eat two or three days' worth of food for them.

"We're all from the same village, no need to be so polite!"

"Then I'll be going now. You can walk back on your own."

Chen Dajiao drove off in his tractor with a loud rumble.

It's really pitiful that Wu Shaoli gave birth to seven children, but not a single one was a boy.

Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that Wang Wei and that slut Mei Yan got together. I wonder if they'll be able to produce a child.

If we can't figure it out, then we're really destined to have no descendants!

Wang Wei, unaware of Chen Dajiao's desire to watch the spectacle, grabbed his things and knocked on his in-laws' door.

Who is it?

A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside, followed by the sound of clattering footsteps.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, Wu Xiaoqin, the mother-in-law, saw Wang Wei standing outside. Her face immediately darkened, and she reached out to close the door.

"mom!"

Fang Wei quickly stuck out one foot and wedged it into the door crack.

"Mom, it's me, Fang Wei! I'm not here to borrow money! I'm here to see you and Dad!"

"Last time you came you said you weren't here to borrow money, and what happened?!"

Wu Xiaoqin glared at Fang Wei through the crack in the door, her face full of vigilance: "You've swindled all the ten-odd yuan your dad had on him!"

"Fang Wei, have you lost your conscience?!"

Fang Wei gave a bitter smile and said in a mournful voice, "Mom, that's all in the past..."

Wu Xiaoqin retorted angrily, "Before? That was only last month!"

"..."

Fang Wei was momentarily speechless.

This happened a long time ago to him, but to others, it seems like it just happened recently.

"Mom, I know you and Dad won't believe me no matter what I say! I'm just begging you to take a look at this first!"

Fang Wei held the kraft paper package to the crack in the door. "It contains brown sugar and pork, which I bought with my own money."

"Make some brown sugar for you and Dad to drink, and add some pork to our family's dish."

"Could you let me in first? I'll open the things so you can take a look!"

Wu Xiaoqin frowned as she looked at the item in Fang Wei's hand. It was indeed a piece of kraft paper from the supply and marketing cooperative, with a red stamp on it.

"You're really not here to scam me?"

"No, it's not!"

Wang Wei quickly promised, "If I ask you and Dad for money again, you can have Dad beat me out of the house with a big stick!"

"..."

Wu Xiaoqin hesitated for a moment, then opened the door. "Come in."

This man is, after all, my daughter's husband; we should still give him some face.

Fang Wei followed Wu Xiaoqin across the courtyard and into the main room.

Wu Faguo, the father-in-law, was drinking tea when he saw the man following behind his wife and immediately slammed his teacup down on the table.

"Who let him in?"

"He came by himself."

Wu Xiaoqin said irritably, "They said they brought pork and brown sugar, and came specifically to see us, the old couple."

"You still believe what he says?"

Wu Faguo sneered, "Bringing things? It's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken!"

"Fang Wei, what trick are you trying to pull this time? Let me tell you, even if you beg the heavens to fall, I won't give you a single penny!"

Fang Wei calmed himself down, placed the package on the table, and opened it in front of his parents-in-law.

"Dad, I didn't come here today for money. I just came to see you both."
