"Go outside and tidy up the living room and the yard. I can't do it here," Ye Fangfei said, feeling that Tang Zhi was in the way and wanting him to leave.
"The others will clean up outside. I want to stay here with you," Tang Zhi insisted, wanting to stick close to his wife and not wanting to go out.
Ye Fangfei felt uncomfortable with Tang Zhi's clingy attitude.
"Then go grab a broom and sweep the floor while I organize things," she assigned him a task since he refused to go out.
"Alright, I'll do that." Tang Zhi went outside but returned with a broom in less than two minutes.
The area inside was small, and it only took him a few moments to finish sweeping.
He used an iron rod to throw the gathered trash outside. After that, he came back to help Ye Fangfei tidy up.
Ye Fangfei took clothes out of the bundle and folded them neatly, while Tang Zhi placed them in the wardrobe at the designated spot she pointed out.
Once they finished with the clothes, they put the washbasin on the rack outside and placed the thermos on top of the dresser. The thick blankets were also temporarily stored in a box for now.
Finally, it was time for the savings book and money. Ye Fangfei asked Tang Zhi to close the door as she took out a locked wooden box.
She unlocked it with a key, revealing the savings book and cash inside.
The savings book was the one Tang Zhi had given her, and she hadn't touched the four thousand six hundred yuan inside.
Besides the savings book, there was also cash. Although it wasn't as much as what was in the book, it was still a considerable amount.
Ye Fangfei counted out the money for Tang Zhi, item by item.
"You gave me sixty-six for my dowry, which my parents didn't take; they gave it all back to me. Not only that, but they also gave me sixty-six as a reserve fund."
"This fifty is from my grandmother, my older brother and sister-in-law gave me one, and my aunt gave me fifty."
"My uncle and aunt each gave twenty, while my cousins gave ten each."
"In total, that's five hundred twelve yuan."
"The neighbors and my parents' friends also contributed; I didn't accept any of that."
"My parents are also hosting a gathering, and in the future, when someone has a matter to attend to, they will need to return the favor," Ye Fangfei said. However, she didn't count the two dollars in private money that Hao Chunying had given her.
Tang Zhi didn't expect the Ye family to be so generous. Not only did they return the betrothal money, but they also gave Ye Fangfei an amount equal to it as a backup. Moreover, the red envelopes from her family were substantial, especially from her elder brother, who gave her a whole dollar. Her aunt and grandmother also contributed fifty cents, which indirectly indicated that Ye Fangfei was quite favored at home.
However, he wasn't someone who was easily swayed by money; he could earn quite a bit from a single trip. So he calmly nodded and said, "You should keep all of this. If not, we can find some time tomorrow to deposit it. Just enough pocket money at home will do."
Ye Fangfei nodded. The point she was trying to make to Tang Zhi was simply to let him know how much money their relatives had given. This way, when it came time to return the favors, there would be no need for complicated explanations.
"By the way, wait a moment. I still have some money for you," Tang Zhi suddenly remembered something and turned around to go out. A moment later, he returned with a lunchbox.
"This is from my mother, along with some money from friends. There are many people at home, and I was worried that someone might sneakily take it, so I put it all in this lunchbox. It's all here; you can count it." Tang Zhi handed the lunchbox to Ye Fangfei.
Ye Fangfei didn't expect Tang Zhi to have more money on him, but it made sense. With Tang Zhi getting married, both Tang Laohan and Tang Laotai couldn't possibly contribute nothing at all. After all, Tang Zhi had been sending his earnings back home all this time.
Ye Fangfei opened the lunchbox and found quite a bit of money inside, though it was all scattered haphazardly.
