"Here!" Li Chunmei angrily stuffed the money into Sheng Fenghua's hands and glared at her as if she had been poisoned.
If it had been her predecessor, she might have been afraid of such a gaze and left with the money. However, she was not. She would not even blink in the face of the enemy's weapons, let alone such a stare.
Therefore, she directly ignored Li Chunmei's gaze and began to count the money again in public.
Fortunately, this time, Li Chunmei was tactful and did not come up short. Sheng Fenghua let her go and waved the hand that was holding the money, saying, "This time, you were right. Then, Sister-in-law Chunmei, I won't waste your time. I'll go back first."
After saying that, she waved her hand at Li Chunmei and left with her head held high like a general who had won the battle.
Li Chunmei stared at Sheng Fenghua's back with hatred, wishing that she could poke a few holes in her body.
Sheng Fenghua returned home in a good mood after receiving the money. Si Zhanbei was sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
He put down the book and sized up Sheng Fenghua once. When he saw that she was fine, he was relieved and said, "You're back?"
"Yes, I am." Sheng Fenghua nodded with a smile. When she thought of Li Chunmei's angry look, she was overjoyed.
Today, she had finally avenged her predecessor.
Sheng Fenghua believed that after today, Li Chunmei's good image among her family members would definitely be greatly reduced.
"You're so happy. Did you do it?" Si Zhanbei looked at Sheng Fenghua's smiling face, and his mood immediately improved.
Previously, he had been worried that Sheng Fenghua was no match for Li Chunmei and had always wanted to go take a look. However, when he remembered that she had said that she would deal with it herself, he had no choice but to endure it.
Now, seeing that Sheng Fenghua had returned with a smile on her face, he knew that she had not suffered a loss and that the matter had been concluded. Only then did he feel relieved.
"Here, I'll return it to you." Sheng Fenghua handed the money she had gotten for from Li Chunmei to Si Zhanbei. When she left home, she did not bring any cash with her; he had paid for all the medical expenses. Now that the fee was back, she should return it to him.
Si Zhanbei looked at the money in Sheng Fenghua's hand and was slightly startled. He said, "Keep it."
"There's no need. I still have some money for my living expenses. It's enough. You can keep this." Sheng Fenghua waved her hand. She had never used a man's wealth before. If it weren't for the fact that her predecessor didn't have any money, she wouldn't even want Si Zhanbei's living expenses.
Moreover, she had already decided to go out and earn some funds. Sheng Fenghua believed that relying on her medical skills to make cash was definitely a small matter.
Seeing that Sheng Fenghua was unwilling to take his money, Si Zhanbei didn't know why, but anger suddenly surged in his heart. He pushed her hand away and said, "We're husband and wife. My money is also yours. Moreover, I didn't give you enough living expenses before. Your health isn't good, so you need to be careful."
After saying that, he was afraid that Sheng Fenghua would say something he didn't want to hear anymore, so he went straight into the house.
Sheng Fenghua stared blankly at Si Zhanbei's back and realized later that he was angry.
But, she didn't know why that was so.
Could it be because of the money in her hands?
Alright, since he wasn't willing to accept it, she would leave it with her for now. Anyway, he would give her living expenses every month, so he didn't have to give it to her in the future.
With that thought, Sheng Fenghua put away the money. Then she went into the house, took some change, and prepared to buy vegetables.
Before she did so, though, she walked to the door of Si Zhanbei's room and said, "Zhanbei, I'm going to buy vegetables."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the room opened.
