After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Shen Nian slept until ten o'clock, then left the space and rode his bicycle towards the clinic.

When she arrived at the clinic, the woman was already waiting for her under a tree, carrying a basket on her back. Shen Nian hurried over, pushing her bicycle.

As soon as the aunt saw Shen Nian, her brows immediately lit up and her tone became warmer.

"Oh, sister, you're here! I thought you were busy and couldn't come today."

Shen Nian responded with a smile: "Auntie, how could that be? I won't forget what we agreed on."

As she spoke, she parked her bicycle aside, put the backpack on the ground, and lifted a corner to show the aunt.

"Sister, we're out of stock for a while, so I won't be coming here anymore. I've prepared 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of flour, 50 eggs, and two old hens. How much do you want?"

Shen Nian thought that she should not run such scattered trips in the future. Firstly, the risk was too great. Secondly, she was now cooperating with the gang boss, so she didn't need to take the risk of running to the town all the time.

The aunt reached into the bag, weighed it with her hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"The quality is still as good as last time. Big sister, can you give me a discount? I'll take them all, okay?"

After hearing this, Shen Nian smiled and shook her head. "Auntie, it's really not possible. Look at the quality of these grains. I'm already giving you the lowest price. Besides, your daughter has recovered well after giving birth, right?"

"Yes, how do you know my daughter has recovered well?" The aunt nodded repeatedly and looked at Shen Nian in confusion.

Shen Nian thought to himself, of course I know what I grow in my own space.

"So! This means my stuff is good, right? It's worth the price." Shen Nian said with a smile.

After hearing what Shen Nian said, the aunt knew that she couldn't get a good price even if she continued talking.

Moreover, she was really satisfied with Shen Nian's goods. Thinking of her daughter who was at home in confinement after giving birth, it was only more than a month's salary, so she gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, sister, let's stick with the last price! Are you out of stock? Then I want all of these."

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely not raise the price for you! Twenty kilograms of rice is twenty yuan, twenty kilograms of flour is ten yuan, two old hens are ten yuan, and fifty eggs are three yuan and fifty cents. The total is forty-three yuan and fifty cents. You can calculate it yourself to see if it is correct." Shen Nian smiled and nodded, and quickly calculated the bill in his mind.

The aunt thought for a while and nodded, then she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and unfolded it layer by layer, revealing a stack of money.

She pulled out a stack, counted quickly, and handed it to Shen Nian: "Here, this is yours, count it."

Shen Nian took the money, counted it, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Sister, you are so generous!"

The aunt also smiled and said, "Sister, your stuff is good and you are honest. I like it."

The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Nian put the things into the aunt's backpack and untied the bag containing the chicken tied to the bicycle. Then the aunt carried the things and the chicken and left.

As soon as the aunt left, Shen Nian also got on his bicycle and left quickly.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used a few tickets that were about to expire, then rode her bicycle to Shuangxi Brigade.

On the way, Shen Nian entered the space again, got a bag of coal and put it on the backpack, then got on the bicycle again.

From a distance, she saw Shi Shengxia and Zhang Fengfeng riding a bicycle towards her.

Are these two people reconciled?

Still going to town together?

Shen Nian looked at the two people coming towards him, feeling a little confused and curious.

At this time, Shengxia was too careless. Didn't she doubt Zhang Fengfeng at all?

Shen Nian glanced at Zhang Fengfeng. This person was also very capable. She had coaxed Shi Shengxia into submission in just a few days.

It seems that this person is very scheming. I don’t know if she has noticed that something is wrong with Shi Shengxia. Shen Nian thought secretly that there seems to be more to watch.

Shen Nian didn't say hello to the other party and just rode his bike over.

Zhang Fengfeng looked at Shen Nian who was riding a bicycle past. She had now begun to feel curious about this educated youth who had gone to the countryside.

Originally, she thought that Shen Zhiqing was just a simple-minded and strong female educated youth.

Unexpectedly, she happened to save Shi Shengxia and ruined her good deeds.

Thinking of Zhang Fengfeng, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. She had been coaxing Shi Shengxia these days. She would go and have a good meeting with Shen Zhiqing in a few days.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fengfeng asked Shi Shengxia curiously, "Shengxia, why didn't you and Shen Zhiqing say hello? Aren't you two quite familiar with each other?"

Shi Shengxia replied to her indifferently: "We are not familiar with each other."

Zhang Fengfeng was stunned. They weren't familiar with each other? Hadn't they lived in the same ward before? They were both educated youth in the same youth institution. How could they not be familiar with each other?

"Don't you live in the same youth dormitory?" Zhang Fengfeng was not discouraged and wanted to ask more questions.

"Yes, we are indeed from the same Youth League Institute, but that doesn't mean we are familiar with each other." Shi Shengxia explained in a cold tone.

Zhang Fengfeng was a little puzzled: "So you were in the hospital before?"

"We just lived in the same ward. I gave her ten dollars when I was discharged, so we weren't really familiar with each other."

Shi Shengxia didn't want to talk much about Shen Nian. She admitted that she had a good impression of Shen Nian at the beginning.

It would be nice to think that they could become friends. After all, Shen Nian had saved her life, and the food he cooked smelled delicious.

But a series of events that happened later greatly reduced her impression of Shen Nian.

She now felt that Shen Nian was materialistic, high-profile, and petty, and that people who could even afford a bicycle were only interested in her ten dollars.

"What? You gave her ten yuan?" Zhang Fengfeng exclaimed. "No wonder I was wondering how she could afford the bicycle! Turns out she got the money from you!"

"Ten dollars isn't a lot," Shi Shengxia said casually, "and I just don't want to owe her anything."

"Ten yuan isn't a lot, but you have to know that we're in the countryside now, and ten yuan can buy a lot of things."

Zhang Fengfeng's eyes widened in disbelief, "You actually gave her ten dollars for nothing!"

"I think the ten dollars was well spent." Shi Shengxia continued calmly.

"Why?" Zhang Fengfeng was puzzled.

"Because that ten yuan made me see her true character." Shi Shengxia's eyes flashed with displeasure, "I don't want to deal with people like her."

Zhang Fengfeng was silent for a while, as if thinking about Shi Shengxia's words.

After a while, she finally said, "What you said makes sense, but I still feel like ten dollars is a bit of a loss."

"Everyone has different values. I don't feel I'm at a disadvantage." Shi Shengxia said calmly.

Zhang Fengfeng sighed: "Forget it, the money has already been given. There is no point in talking about it anymore. I can't ask someone to return the money."

Although Zhang Fengfeng said this, she was cursing Shi Shengxia in her heart for being a fool and giving away ten dollars to someone else for nothing.

She is not as generous as Shi Shengxia. In her opinion, money should be spent on oneself and not let others get it for free.

The two stopped talking and rode their bikes to town. When they arrived at the post office, Shi Shengxia went in to get the package while Zhang Fengfeng watched the bicycle outside.

Shi Shengxia received a package and a letter, which contained things sent to the original owner by his family.

Shi Shengxia opened it and took a look. It contained some winter clothes and some food. She put the things aside and picked up the letter next to it.
