Just like that, Su Zhizhi, holding the book, was very excited. She trotted all the way back home and couldn't wait to share the good news with Shen Wenjun.

"Mr. Shen, you don't need to copy books anymore. I bought you an old book that someone else had used on the street." After saying that, Su Zhizhi handed the book to Shen Wenjun.

Shen Wenjun was unable to react for a moment after hearing the good news, and subconsciously asked, "Really?"

Su Zhizhi nodded and said, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" After that, she took out all the books she had just bought from the street from her bag and handed them to Shen Wenjun.

Shen Wenjun reached out to take it and flipped through a few pages. She was instantly very excited. At the same time, Shen Wenjun's eyes when looking at Su Zhizhi changed again. There was love, admiration, complexity and regret. But Su Zhizhi was immersed in her own world at this time and was very excited. She was not aware of Shen Wenjun's complicated eyes at all.

Even though they now have the books, Shen Wenjun still hasn't quit his job copying books for his wife, because they are still short of money. Although the money they have is enough for them to go to the capital, what will happen after they get there?

They had to make a living, so how would they get the money? So the two of them discussed and decided to stay in Lejun County for a while to earn some money so that they would have more money in hand when they arrived in the capital.

night.

Su Zhizhi looked at Shen Wenjun and said, "Since we're going to stay here for a while, why don't we rent a cheaper house for a month? Otherwise, living in an inn all the time will be quite an expense."

Shen Wenjun thought about it and felt that what Su Zhizhi said made a lot of sense, so he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

"Okay, then I'll go find a house to rent tomorrow." Seeing Shen Wenjun agree, Su Zhizhi immediately smiled.

The next day, Su Zhizhi took advantage of their rare rest time to run all over Lejun County, and finally found a small courtyard that she was satisfied with not far from Manxing Building. This courtyard was not only close to Manxing Building where she worked, but also very cheap. More importantly, the landlord allowed her to rent it for one month.

In fact, Su Zhizhi had inquired about and looked at many houses before, including some that were suitable for her acting career. However, when the landlord heard that she would only rent the house for a few days, he was unwilling to rent it to her, and the matter of renting the house ended in vain.

That night, Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun couldn't wait to move in.

In this way, Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun stayed here for another week.

in the afternoon.

Su Zhizhi got off work early, so she prepared the meal and waited for Shen Wenjun to come back. Perhaps because of her job, Su Zhizhi especially loved cooking for others, especially when others tasted her cooking and praised her cooking, she felt very excited and thrilled all over.

Just when Su Zhizhi was eagerly looking at when Shen Wenjun would come back, Su Zhizhi's neighbor Aunt Sun appeared.

Aunt Sun and her neighbor Aunt Zhou went to the street to buy vegetables and came back together.

As soon as Aunt Sun saw Su Zhizhi, she couldn't help but tease, "Hey, your guy hasn't come back yet! Look, look, it's true that young couples have such a good relationship. They miss each other after not seeing each other for a while."

Seeing this, Aunt Zhou quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, look at how loving this couple is, nothing like us."

Both of them laughed and teased Su Zhizhi and Shen Wenjun.

Su Zhizhi smiled awkwardly upon hearing this and quickly explained, "Uh... both aunts have misunderstood. Shen Wenjun and I are just ordinary friends. I'm already married. We rented a courtyard together because we were broke. I came to Beijing to find my husband."

Su Zhizhi briefly explained her relationship with Shen Wenjun.

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Sun and Aunt Zhou immediately looked at each other with extremely embarrassed expressions.

"Oh, so that's how it is! I'm so sorry!"

"Yes, yes! Zhizhi! Please don't take what we just said to heart. It was our unintentional mistake that we didn't understand the situation clearly!"

The two of them hurriedly apologized to Su Zhizhi.

In response, Su Zhizhi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just a small matter. Just talk it out."

"That's fine, that's fine. Don't worry, we will never say it again." Aunt Sun and Aunt Zhou vowed.

After making the promise, the two left and returned to their respective homes to cook dinner. However, Su Zhizhi looked at the scene with a mixture of laughter and tears.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Su Zhizhi had already worked in the restaurant for a month.

End of month.

Su Zhizhi took her salary from the shopkeeper, and then took the opportunity to say, "Shopkeeper, I have something to tell you."

The shopkeeper looked at Su Zhizhi with a smile when he heard the voice and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

The shopkeeper treats employees like Su Zhizhi very well. After all, Su Zhizhi is now a living cash cow in their store.

"I want to resign. Thank you for your care over the past few days, boss." Su Zhizhi hesitated for a while, and finally chose to say it directly.

"Ah? What? Why do you want to resign? Did I pay you too little? Salary and other things are negotiable. I can even give you a raise." As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper became anxious. He jumped up and down like an ant on a hot pan.

Su Zhizhi smiled and explained, "Uh...it's not about the salary. I was going to Beijing to look for someone, and my family isn't here. Then, my friend and I got lost along the way, and I had no money, so I came here to work and earn some money for the trip."

Su Zhizhi told the shopkeeper truthfully.

When the shopkeeper heard that Su Zhizhi was short of money, he quickly said, "Then I'll give you a raise, and you can stay here, okay? Double it, okay? If double isn't enough, we can double it. We can work it out."

However, faced with the temptation of money, Su Zhizhi refused without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, boss, but I have made up my mind to leave. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

After saying that, Su Zhizhi bowed deeply to the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn't know what to say anymore. He could only nod with regret and said, "Okay."

In this way, the shopkeeper watched Su Zhizhi leave here with his own eyes, but he kept staring at Su Zhizhi's figure until Su Zhizhi completely left the crowd. The shopkeeper's eyes were full of unwillingness and greed. At the same time, a bold idea suddenly came into his heart.
