Chapter 72 Can't Take Advantage of Him
This saves her having to talk.
Shen Zhian must have said that it would be better than her getting involved.
After all, she was just an outsider. Even if her daughter really dated Shen Zhi'an, she couldn't always get involved.
He Chunhua knew very well about Mother Liu.
If Shen Zhian asked her to pay on credit this time, the money would probably be wasted.
He Chunhua could ignore it if others were taken advantage of, but Shen Zhian was her future son-in-law, so of course she couldn't just watch.
"Oh, look at my memory, I brought the money, it's in my pocket."
The meat might have to be bought, but seeing that there was no way to get credit, Mother Liu took out a lot of coins from her pocket.
Coins in this era were one cent, two cents, and five cents, but in the 21st century, coins were one cent, fifty cents, and one yuan.
Mother Liu took out a handful from her pocket and handed it to Shen Zhian, "Shen Zhiqing, come here, I'll give you this money."
Shen Zhian took the money.
Mother Liu was leaving with the pork.
But before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by Shen Zhian, "Wait a minute, aunt, your money is two cents short, the amount is wrong."
Mother and daughter Liu never expected Shen Zhian to directly count the money.
In fact, she deliberately gave two points less, just to fool her.
I didn’t expect that people are not easy to fool.
But Liu’s mother couldn’t admit that she had done such a thing.
Mother Liu said awkwardly, "Really? Did you count correctly?"
"How about you count it yourself?"
Mother Liu knew it clearly in her heart, and there was no need to count it again.
"Then I probably counted it wrong. It's only two cents, Shen Zhiqing. How about you get two cents cheaper? You shouldn't care about such a small amount of money, right?"
Shen Zhian could not charge two cents. If Liu's mother had negotiated the price from the beginning, he might have readily agreed if it was two cents cheaper, but her beating around the bush now made him very uncomfortable.
Shen Zhian said, "As promised, fifty cents is fifty cents. If Auntie doesn't have enough money, go back and get it."
Mother Liu gritted her teeth angrily. Shen Zhiqing was too stingy. He even cares about two cents. I have never seen such a stingy person.
He Chunhua was very happy because her future son-in-law was too fond of her.
When dealing with people like Mother Liu, you have to refuse them outright.
"I seem to have two cents in my pocket. I missed it just now. I'll give it to you to make up for it." Mother Liu pretended to take out two cents from her pocket and stuffed it into Shen Zhian.
Now, she didn't get a penny of advantage.
Mother Liu carried the meat and returned home a little unhappy, cursing all the way about the Zhou family's unkindness and Shen Zhian's stinginess.
After Mother Liu left, He Chunhua also scolded the old woman for being shameless. She really tried her best to take advantage of her.
Fortunately, my son-in-law is not a master who can suffer losses.
If it were anyone else who was thin-skinned, they would probably be embarrassed to refuse Mother Liu's request.
The pork was almost done, the Zhou family kept a portion, and Shen Zhian planned to get the rest to sell in the county.
Waiting for the spectators to leave, and when only the Zhou family was left, He Chunhua immediately asked Zhou Ran for questioning, "Ranran, when did you and Shen Zhiqing have a relationship? Why didn't you know about it?"
When He Chunhua asked this, other people in the Zhou family also started gossiping.
"Yes, little sister, when did you fall in love with someone, you didn't tell your family!"
Zhou Ran glanced at Shen Zhian and said with a slightly warm face, "Mom, Shen Zhiqing said this for the sake of our family's face. We are not in love."
"What?"
He Chunhua, who was quite happy at first, lost most of her joy after hearing what Zhou Ran said.
She was so happy that she thought the two children were really together.
"Mom, you must never talk nonsense in front of outsiders in the future." Zhou Ran quickly warned He Chunhua.
It's quite embarrassing that something like this happened today.
I don't know what Shen Zhian would think if she knew that her mother was always thinking about him being her son-in-law.
Zhou Ran said, then looked at Shen Zhi'an and said, "Shen Zhiqing, thank you just now for helping our family by telling me that you and I are in a relationship."
There was a smile on Shen Zhian's lips.
Actually, if Zhou Ran really wanted to have a relationship with him, he would be willing.
I don't know when he started to have a crush on her.
Anyway, now that he looks at his heart, he admits that he likes Zhou Ran.
It has nothing to do with this girl's appearance, I just fell in love with her while getting along with Zhou Ran.
It's a pity that people don't seem to have that intention...
Zhou Ran said, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare for lunch.
Although He Chunhua was a little disappointed, she still felt that even if her daughter and Shen Zhian were not in love for the time being, they would still be together in the future.
Shen Zhian clearly showed that he didn't dislike her daughter.
After Liu Lifen figured out what was going on, she snorted secretly and said, "How could Shen Zhian fall in love with her sister-in-law with such conditions?"
At noon, because there was wild boar meat, the Zhou family had another meat meal.
There was a lot of wild boar meat, so Zhou Ran simply burned more so that everyone could eat more.
Originally, the taste of wild boar meat is relatively fishy, but the wild boar meat cooked by Zhou Ran's hand is fragrant and spicy, and the taste is very good.
In addition to pork, a lot of worthless offal is also fried.
You may not be able to sell this thing when you take it out, so you can just keep it at home and eat it.
Then there is the pork bone stew soup. The taste of the pork bone soup can always be smelled of meat, which is better than the clear water soup.
Shen Zhian loves to eat the food cooked by Zhou Ran.
After having a delicious meal with the Zhou family at noon, Shen Zhian returned to the educated youth spot in the afternoon.
When Shen Zhian returned to the educated youth center, everyone was discussing what happened between him and Zhou Ran.
Although Shen Zhian and Zhou Ran are usually close to each other, knowing that the two are really in a relationship still gives everyone a lot of shock.
Song Wenhui felt that Zhou Ran was something he didn't want, but after seeing that he was dating Shen Zhian, he didn't feel very comfortable.
His psychology is very strange. He feels that things he doesn't want should not be picked up by others and taken advantage of.
Seeing Shen Zhian return, everyone's discussion stopped.
There was no way, their fists were too hard, and no one dared to question or say anything.
If this angers Shen Zhian, they will really do it rudely.
Shen Zhian can kill a wild boar by himself, but if they all come together, they may not be Shen Zhian's opponent.
Shen Zhian ignored these people and walked to his room.
The next day, Shen Zhian rode his bicycle early in the morning and brought the remaining wild boar meat to the county town.
There is a little over a hundred kilograms of meat left in total. It is not easy to get a hundred kilograms of meat these days.
Non-staple food stores and state-owned restaurants in the county will buy it, but the prices given are not high.
