Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

"How can this be possible? I'd better give it to you according to the shopkeeper's price!" Shen said hurriedly, her face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"I'll buy it for thirty taels. I just happen to have some reward money left. Normally, even if I wanted to buy it, I wouldn't have the money." Su Panpan responded quickly.

"Hey, Panpan, I know in my heart that you are helping me." Shen sighed, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Second uncle, please don't say that. These dowries are originally top-quality items. I can buy jewelry worth far more than this with thirty taels. It will be so face-saving to give them away. I also have some selfish motives." Su Panpan explained with a smile.

"Don't refuse."

"Right now, I really need money urgently, so I won't be polite with you." Shen sighed, her eyes full of gratitude. At this time, a breeze blew in from the door, gently blowing the corners of her clothes. The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and her eyes were a little red. "Panpan, your kindness will be remembered by my second uncle." Shen held Su Panpan's hand tightly and said.

The pawnshop was filled with an old smell, and the sunlight filtered through the narrow windows, casting a few spots of light on the ground.

A breeze blew in from the door, gently ruffling the corners of their clothes.

At this moment, the shopkeeper who had been standing silently by could not help but urge: "Hey, you two, have you reached an agreement?" He frowned, with a hint of impatience on his face.

Shen and Su Panpan looked at each other. Shen bit her lip and said, "Then let's do as my sister-in-law says."

"Boss, we don't want this jewelry anymore."

Su Panpan also agreed: "Yes, I won't be one anymore.

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he raised his voice and said, "Are you two making fun of me? You've been wasting your time here, and now you're just going to quit?"

Shen and Su Panpan apologized repeatedly and then hurriedly left the pawnshop.

"Erniu, my second uncle and aunt need to do some shopping. Please drive the ox cart to the street where the butcher shop is!"

"it is good!"

"Just wait for us here!"

……

In the bustling market, people come and go, and shouts can be heard one after another.

She came to the meat stall, and the meat on the chopping board was shining in the sunlight.

"Boss, I want this whole slab of ribs, as well as those strips of pork belly, three pig's trotters, and a pound of pig's liver. Pack them all for me!" Su Panpan said without hesitation, attracting the attention of others.

The boss smiled widely, quickly picked up the knife, and began cutting and weighing with deft hands.

Shen was stunned watching from the side, her whole body numb with shock. The outside world had nothing to do with her at this moment, and the only thing left was her own inner muttering: "How much will this cost!"

Then, Su Panpan went to the vegetable stall. "A bag of potatoes, a few cabbages, radishes, lettuce, sweet potatoes, and a pumpkin," she said, selecting them skillfully. "I want big potatoes, fresh cabbages, and some radishes, lettuce, and a pumpkin," she said, handing the selected vegetables to the stall owner for weighing.

Shen stood aside, her face full of disbelief, her hand unconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes.

"Come on, second uncle's wife, let's go see if there is anything else." Su Panpan pulled Shen and continued to move forward.

Seeing a cage of lively chicks, Su Panpan bought them without hesitation, thinking of raising them in the yard so that they could lay eggs in the future.

I went to the dry goods store again and bought soybeans, dried dates, bean curd sheets, and dried black fungus. The dried shiitake mushrooms I had last time were used up, so I bought some more. I also bought a large bag of white flour, a bag of sweet potato starch, and a large bag of white sugar.

Shen was rubbing her hands beside her, watching Su Panpan's actions, her heart full of envy and helplessness. She thought of her own financial difficulties and did not dare to be so extravagant.

When passing by a fruit stall, the aroma of fruit fills the air and the colorful fruits are mouth-watering.

"Persimmons, dates, oranges, hawthorns, give me some of them all!"

"Panpan, you've bought so many things, it must have cost a lot of money, right? You have to think long-term about your life." Shen was worried that Su Panpan would spend all her money, so she couldn't help but speak up to dissuade her.

"Second uncle, I know what's going on." Of course she has to enjoy the joy of being the head of the household and being able to spend money!

"Second uncle, your life will get better and better after we separate, so don't worry. You can come to the street and do some shopping then." Su Panpan comforted Shen when she thought of her current financial situation.

"I hope there will be such a day!" Hearing Su Panpan's words, Shen couldn't help but look forward to the future. Even though she didn't spend any money now, her mood became happy.

"Hey, Second Uncle's wife, aren't you going to buy something? Didn't you tell Zhao Cuihua that you were going back to your parents' home?"

"I, I don't have much money, not enough to buy things. To be honest with you, Panpan, after you left the Qin family, all the housework had to be done by me and the children. I didn't have time to embroider handkerchiefs and make shoe soles to sell. The little wages that Youwen earned from helping out outside were all taken by my mother-in-law, and I didn't have any spare money at all." As she spoke, Shen's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

"I'm so ashamed to have to rely on my mother's family for subsidies. If I hadn't had no other choice, I wouldn't have thought of dividing the family property..."

"Zhao Cuihua is really too much. She bullied me before and now she bullies you like this. You should separate from the family as soon as possible and get relief." Su Panpan hurried to comfort Shen.

"I have to explain this matter clearly to Youwen when I go back today."

"Second uncle, I'll give you one tael of silver first. I'll give you the remaining twenty-nine taels when I get home." After saying that, he took out some silver from his pocket and gave it to Shen.

"I'll load the things onto the ox cart first. You can go buy some things too. After all, Linlin and Sisi are still little and will always be greedy. Go buy some!"

After Su Panpan finished speaking, she walked towards the two ox carts, carrying a full basket on her back, a cage of chickens in her left hand, and a bag of flour in her right hand.

Shen tightly grasped the one or two taels of silver in her hand, her eyes wandering between the stalls, full of entanglement and reluctance.

She hesitated for a long time in front of the noodle stall, and finally gritted her teeth and bought half a bag of white flour and half a bag of cornmeal. The noodle vendor looked at her cautious appearance and showed a trace of pity on his face.

Arriving at the butcher's stall, Shen gazed at the fresh pieces of meat with eagerness. After several inquiries, she finally made up her mind to buy two taels of hind leg meat. That little bit of meat seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in her hands.

In front of the coarse flour steamed bun stall, she counted again and again before buying a few, fearing that buying one more would exceed her budget.

When I passed by the wild vegetable pancake stall, I hesitated for a long time and finally bought a few.

Passing by a tofu stall, she picked up a few pieces of cheap tofu that didn't look good.

When passing by the stall selling candied haws, a hint of tenderness and guilt flashed in Shen's eyes.

She felt her pocket and hesitated for a long time before finally buying a bunch, thinking of secretly sharing some with Linlin and Sisi in the evening to give the children something sweet.

Although what she bought was insignificant compared to Su Panpan, she was very content. In previous years, these things were only available in the first month of the lunar year.

Thinking about the children eating candied haws in the evening, they must be very happy.
