Time Travel: The Vicious Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

She knew how much money the family had. The eighty yuan from the family division had been in her father's hands and had never been spent. Now that she was married, her father had to give her some money.

"Jingchen, I don't have any extra houses at home. Let's build a few brick and tile houses ourselves. They don't need to be big, just four or five will be fine. Then when your parents and brothers come to visit you in the countryside, they'll have rooms to stay in."

"You're really imagining it! Do you know how much it would cost to build four or five blue brick and tile houses? Do you know how difficult it is to get blue bricks?

If you have money and connections, you can build it. I don’t have money, it doesn’t matter, I can’t build it.” Zhou Jingchen spread his hands, his tone impatient.

What if he doesn't want to live in a brick house? Can they afford to build one?

"How much does it cost to build a brick house? Why don't you just ask your parents to send money?

As long as you pay me, I can get the bricks back."

"No money."

Shen Xue didn't expect Zhou Jingchen to refuse so bluntly. "If we don't build a brick house, then we have to build an adobe house, right? Otherwise, where will we live?"

Zhou Jingchen paused and said, "Don't your parents live in a brick and tile house? Why don't you ask them to move out and let us live there?

Your three cousins ​​are all unmarried, so they can just sleep in one room. We can free up two adobe houses, and your parents can live in one. The other one can be left empty. If we have a son, we can let him live there."

Zhou Jingchen felt that his arrangement was very good. The Shen family obviously had a house to live in, so why should he spend money to build one? Shen Xue had no money, so in the end it was his money that was spent.

Wouldn't it be better for him to use the money to buy meat buns?

"Jingchen, you are really smart, why didn't I think of it?

After we get married, we can live at home. My parents will definitely be happy."

After solving the housing problem, Shen Xue didn't want others to look down on her, so she asked Zhou Jingchen if he had any candy coupons. "Jingchen, we're all getting married now. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some candy to share with everyone. Let them share in our joy."

"If you don't have sugar coupons, wait until you have them and buy them later."

Zhou Jingchen didn't want to spend a penny. He thought that he was from Kyoto, married to Shen Xue and lived in the Shen family. It would be inappropriate to go to her empty-handed, so he finally went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two egg cakes.

"Jingchen, buy a few more pieces. Two pieces are not enough. My parents are still angry. Buy some more to cheer them up."

The two country bumpkins still wanted him to coax them, not even considering whether they were a good match. "Two pieces are enough. You'll choke if you eat too much egg cake. I'll buy your parents something else delicious later."

Shen Xue was very pleased with what he said, "Jingchen, you are so kind."

After buying the egg cake, Shen Xue persuaded Zhou Jingchen and said she wanted to buy a piece of Dacron fabric.

"This color is too ugly and doesn't suit you. I'll ask my sister to send two better-looking pieces of cloth. Let's go back."

As long as Shen Xue wanted something, Zhou Jingchen could always find an excuse to buy it later. In short, it didn't cost him a penny, and he could coax Shen Xue into submission with just a few words.

The two returned to Shen's house, and Shen Xue took Zhou Jingchen to walk in front of Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen.

"Grandpa and grandma, Jing Chen and I are married."

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen: “Yeah.”

Zhou Jingchen called out to the old couple perfunctorily, but they didn't respond. Zhou Jingchen cursed the two old men in his heart for being so ignorant.

Shen Xue awkwardly pulled Zhou Jingchen's clothes and walked over to Uncle Shen San and Liu Pan.

The people from the first and second houses were picking vegetables at their respective kitchen doors. Shen Xue pretended not to see them and didn't even say hello.

"Mom and Dad, Jingchen and I are getting married." She raised the oil-paper package in her hand. "This is the egg cake that Jingchen bought for you at the supply and marketing cooperative. There are only two pieces left. Jingchen spent a lot of effort to grab them."

Uncle Shen looked at the marriage certificate in their hands expressionlessly, stood up and turned back to the house, slamming the door shut.

Liu Pandi forced a smile at the sight of the egg cake and said to Zhou Jingchen, "Jingchen, you and Xiaoxue are married, so you must live a good life from now on.
