After returning home, the Zhu family gave Su Yan 150 yuan. The money from selling dates was not enough to pay for the bicycle ticket, and it was only then that Zhu's mother took out 40 yuan from the public fund to settle the bill.

This means that the Zhu family only spent 40 yuan in total to buy the bicycle, and the rest was from selling dates.

Hu Yuwei and Chen Jiao were extremely jealous when they learned that Su Yan's elder brother had sent her a bicycle ticket and that she was now riding a new bicycle.

Seeing the way the Zhu family held Su Yan, the two of them still felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Zhu's mother told everyone that Su Yan was a spendthrift woman, there was nothing she did that did not go according to her wishes.

Su Yan's willfulness is always tolerated by others, and others will eventually compromise.

And they have no right to be willful at all. They can only complain to their husbands late at night, and sometimes they don't even get their understanding.

Although they married well, their in-laws made things difficult for them, especially Hu Yuwei, who hated those nasty relatives of the Zheng family and tried not to have any contact with them if possible.

Especially Zheng Cheng's mother, who would come to disgust her every now and then, and would not leave unless she took something from her hands.

Although she didn't do any heavy work, she would be mentally exhausted facing these extreme relatives and fighting with them every day, and this exhaustion even exceeded the physical exhaustion.

Chen Jiao was not much better off. Her mother-in-law was kind on the outside but had a dark heart. She always asked her to do this and that under the pretext of doing good for them and would not tolerate her having no time to rest.

Whenever she had some free time, her mother-in-law would complain about all kinds of things, saying that they didn't know how to live and didn't plan for the future, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

Thinking that although Chen Dong worked in a steel factory and gave her living expenses every month, she did not live a more leisurely life than Su Yan.

She was often asked to collect grass for pigs, or grow vegetables and raise chickens at home.

The bicycle at home was said to be her betrothal gift, but the people from the Chen family came to borrow it every few days. If she refused, they would say she was stingy, but if she did, those people would not know how to cherish it. She was almost annoyed to death by them.

Although the Zhu family said everywhere that Su Yan was a spendthrift and did not know how to live, they were tolerant of her and listened to what her sisters-in-law said.

Now in the Zhu family, Su Yan doesn't have to do any housework except cooking occasionally. Her hands are as white as those of a young lady in the city.

Chen Jiao and Hu Yuwei thought, wasn't she a young lady in the past? She has been living the life of a young lady for so many years, and there will always be someone who pays for everything she does.

Since the Zhu family bought bicycles, they have gone up the mountain more often.

When others ask, it means that they can't make ends meet at home and can only rely on the mountains to make a living, so they go up the mountains more often to try their luck.

Privately, the Zhu family eats the best food in the village.

When Kang Qing and Liu Guixiang from next door occasionally smell the aroma of meat, they can't help but wonder if Fourth Uncle's family has hunted pheasants and rabbits again?

At the same time, they also believe more that Xiaobao is the Fuwa.

Ever since Su Yan treated Xiao Bao well, their lives have been getting better day by day. Although the family is short of money after buying a bicycle, they often go hunting in the mountains, and they eat better than before.

When several sisters-in-law were sitting together and chatting, they talked about this issue.

Kang Qing: "Isn't there a famine in your family? How come I can still smell meat every day?"

Xue Ming also echoed: "That's right, we are almost dying of greed."

Liu Guixiang also pressed them, "Tell me the truth, have you made a fortune secretly and are hiding it from us?"

Yang Dan cried out in injustice: "How can we get rich? You have seen my family often go up the mountain. If it weren't for the famine, who would have nothing to do and go up the mountain? The front mountain has been almost plundered by the villagers. We have no choice but to go deep into the mountains. Going deep into the mountains is not only dangerous, but also easy to get lost. We are lucky to have shot a few pheasants, otherwise we really couldn't make ends meet."

Kang Qing said in disbelief: "Su Yan's elder brother even gave her a bicycle ticket, why doesn't he send more money?"

Yang Dan: "It is true that my eldest sister-in-law's brother sent her some money, but she can't give it all to us. Besides, we are embarrassed to take advantage of her. She occasionally goes to town to buy some eggs and cakes for the children, and we are very grateful to her."

Xue Ming: "Do you know how much money her elder brother sent her?"

Yang Dan shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law is not stupid. How could she tell us her private money? But she is also generous. She would give the children anything delicious she bought. Occasionally, she would buy some food to help the family. The meat smell you smelled was probably from the times when Sister-in-law went to town to buy meat."

Several of them had an expression of "I see, that's what I see" and were a little jealous of their brother's wife.

Therefore, if one has a wealthy family, one’s status in the husband’s family will be greatly improved.

Even if Su Yan is idle all day long, her elder brother will subsidize her, so she will not lack money to spend and can live without having to care about anyone's opinion.

In addition, Zhu Bin was devoted to her, and whatever she said was what she did. This kind of good life was something they could never envy.

To others, the Zhu family seems to be living a tight life, but only they themselves know that since moving to the mountain, the family's income has skyrocketed and their savings have also increased day by day.

Whatever they picked or hunted in the mountains became their own, and Zhu's mother did not force them to give it away.

Even Zhu Zhen had saved forty or fifty yuan, and she would give a portion of it to Zhu's mother every time as a contribution to the family.

After Zhu Zhen graduated from high school in June, she stayed at home to do housework.

In the morning, she took her three nieces to collect grass for pigs, and in the afternoon, she followed Su Yan to make clothes.

If Su Yan wanted to go up the mountain, she would definitely follow him.

She was too lazy to follow her second brother and sister-in-law up the mountain and just liked to stay with Su Yan.

She felt that it was most reliable to follow her elder sister-in-law, otherwise she would not have saved more than 50 yuan. This was only half of it, and the other half was given to Zhu's mother.

Ever since Su Yan made a onesie bottoming shirt for Xiaobao, several other sisters-in-law followed suit. Now, everyone in the village thinks that this style of clothes is convenient and easy to wear, and families with children all want to make it for their own children.

Zhu Zhen made clothes not for herself, but for Su Yan.

Su Yan wanted to prepare winter clothes for Xiaobao, but she was too slow to do it alone. Zhu Zhen happened to have time, so she helped her.

Zhu Zhen often sighed in her heart that her sister-in-law started to have good luck after she changed her attitude towards Xiaobao. Xiaobao must be a lucky guy, and she must be better to Xiaobao.
