The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 14

Chapter 14. Fifty dollars

Mrs. Han had seen how powerful her sister-in-law was today, and her momentum was suppressed by three points. She hesitated and said, "But we don't know the place either."

I'm not afraid of making a fuss, but I just can't help but shrink back a little.

"This is easy. Just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask which salesperson has a rural girlfriend. It only takes a few minutes." Chen Rou said nonchalantly.

Zhou Zhen and Mrs. Han couldn't help but admire him, what a smart brain he had.

But Chen Rou smiled again and said, "If they don't send someone to call us back halfway through the journey, I lose."

Both of them were a little hesitant about this at first, but when they were almost halfway there and the cousins ​​from Old Han's second uncle's family came over to ask them to go back, Zhou Zhen and Han's wife looked at Chen Rou without saying a word.

Chen Rou was still reluctant to go back, but was finally invited back by her cousins.

When I came back, I saw Han Guowu and Han Guobin were both there.

Chen Rou glanced at her husband and said calmly, "Oh, you invited all the sons here, are you going to order them to divorce? Divorce is something that can be done by just saying it. There's no need to do this. I won't stay here. It's just that it's up to you two to decide whether your daughter-in-law can get married in the future."

Mrs. Han was a little confused when she saw this scene, but Chen Rou spoke slowly with a smile.

Han's mother originally wanted to ask for a divorce in this way, but now she was so angry that her face turned blue.

Father Han did have this idea, but his second daughter-in-law was really reckless and not afraid at all. Han Guobin couldn't help but look at his wife.

Father Han said, "Okay, I'll give you 50 yuan per family. We'll live with the third brother's family from now on. When he can't work anymore, you three families will support him together!"

Compared to the 150 yuan that Korean Lin spends to buy a bicycle, 50 yuan is really not a lot, but it is the best one available at the moment.

Chen Rou also knew that this was the bottom line of the old couple.

Because they separated this year, the two families only got a dozen dollars each!

"If mom and dad weren't so partial, we would still be filial to them when they get old." Chen Rou said, pulling the five reunion pictures from Han's mother.

When Han's mother was still angry, she threw the five reunion tickets given to Han's sister-in-law directly to her.

Mrs. Han's heart was beating faster at this moment, but she didn't care anymore. She didn't feel that her trouble was in vain as she originally had ten yuan. Now she had fifty yuan!

He picked it up hurriedly, and couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Chen Rou glanced at Han Guobin and said, "Guobin, it's time to go home. Now that I'm pregnant, I have to buy some good supplements. By the way, mother, when will Uncle San's bicycle arrive? Can you lend it to us to go to the county town before we get married?"

Han's mother turned around and went back into the house. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to resist and would go up and hit her with a stick.

Han's father's face was also gloomy. Seeing his son not daring to even fart and letting his wife do whatever she wanted, his disgust was beyond words.

Chen Rou took Han Guobin home.

Mrs. Han also took Han Guowu home.

But the fight between the two sisters-in-law and their parents-in-law was the biggest news in the village today, especially since they took fifty dollars from the two elders.

This is really unexpected and surprising.

Chen Rou didn't care what the villagers said. She went home, put the money away, and started kneading the dough as if nothing had happened. She said, "Tonight we're having chicken and potatoes stew. Can I make you some steamed buns?"

"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.

Chen Rou nodded. Han Guobin looked at his wife and asked, "Are we going to the county town tomorrow? Then I'll go borrow a bicycle from the captain?"

"Can I borrow it from the captain's house?" Chen Rou asked.

"Yes, I can lend it to you." Han Guobin nodded.

Chen Rou said, "If I can borrow it until tomorrow, I'll go into the city for a walk."

Han Guobin went out to ask the captain's family to reserve a bicycle. The captain agreed and asked him to go and pick it up the next morning.

As soon as he went out, he heard people in the village talking about his wife's heroic achievements.

Han Guobin touched his nose and said nothing, but when he returned home, he couldn't help but look at his wife.

Chen Rou had already peeled the potatoes, cut them in half and were ready to put them in the pot. She was also stir-frying the chicken. There weren't that many ingredients, just onions, green peppers and a little soy sauce. It tasted delicious. When they were cooked, she added water and put the chopped potatoes in to stew together. Chen Rou also put a bamboo basket on it, put the dough in together, covered it with a lid and steamed it.

Don't worry about it, just let it simmer and it will be ready in fifteen minutes.

"You should be careful. If you meet someone who repairs pots, bring them home. We need to repair this one well." Chen Rou said.

She only heard what Zhou Zhen said after she arrived. Maybe someone would come over with a load on his shoulder and ask about it during this period of time.

No one stops people from mending pots and pans, because every household needs to mend pots and pans. It's not like you can just buy a new one when a pot is broken; it all needs to be mended.

Unless you are a big leader, it can be used.

"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Rou asked.

"Wife, I heard that you want to divorce me." Han Guobin said with a dry throat.

"Are you willing?" Chen Rou asked.

"No, you are already my wife, you will be my wife for life, and you are pregnant with my child!" Han Guobin said immediately.

Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Then what are you asking?"

Seeing that she looked good, Han Guobin couldn't help but come over and hug her: "Then don't say that kind of thing in the future."

"They are all used to confront those two elders." Chen Rou said.

She couldn't be weaker than her father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of them. If they thought she was afraid of divorce, today's incident would be a joke.

So not only are they not afraid of divorce, they also take the initiative to say divorce!

In the countryside, there are many people who threaten their daughters-in-law with divorce. They are sure that their daughters-in-law's parents will not accept them after the divorce, and they always succeed.

Although Mrs. Han seems to be very capable today, she is actually afraid. Without Chen Rou, she will be beaten by Han's mother.

But Chen Rou is not really afraid. Even if they really get divorced, it would just be a pity at best.

After all, Han Guobin is a really good man. She is satisfied with him in every aspect. However, if they really can't live together, she will make a decisive decision.

Growing up in the apocalypse, she won't cling to others.

"This fifty dollars is free. I'll buy you something good tomorrow." Chen Rou said, touching her man's head.

Han Guobin knew that she really had no intention of leaving him, so he stopped arguing with his wife for the time being.

After dinner, the couple prepared to go to bed as they had to get up early the next day.

The next day, Han Guobin got up to make breakfast. After breakfast was ready, he went to the team leader's house to borrow a bicycle.

I also met his younger brother Han Guolin.

"Brother, I heard about what happened yesterday from mom after I came back." Han Guolin was embarrassed and said, "As for the bicycle, it was Xiaoyu's family's request, and the bicycle ticket was also arranged by her family. The family paid for it. In the future, apart from picking up Xiaoyu to go to and from get off work, you can come and use it whenever you want."

"What happened yesterday is over, let's not talk about it anymore." Han Guobin actually had some objections in his heart. He used to be a hunter, and he would take five dollars home during every slack season. Since he was seventeen, he had already earned eight work points, and since he was nineteen, he had never earned less than ten work points.

But when the family property was divided, he only got a dozen dollars and a little food that he and his wife had to save for. Apart from that, he got nothing.

But the eldest brother was the same, so he had no objection. However, his parents built a brick house for the third brother, and he also had no objection to that.

But this year he is getting married, and the third child is also getting married, so what is the point of him getting married? What is the point of the third child getting married?

Even if he doesn't care, he is not stupid.

Han Guobin didn't say much to him. He took his bicycle and went home. His wife had already gotten up and washed up.

The couple had breakfast and then rode their bicycles directly to the county town.

At this moment, the supply and marketing cooperative in the town is in a tight spot and many things are out of stock, but the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town still has relatively abundant supplies.

Han Guobin wanted to buy malted milk, canned food and White Rabbit milk candy for his wife.

"There is still some milk powder I bought at home. I haven't finished a big bag of it yet. I don't eat canned food. You should buy me some persimmons and apples. I don't want any milk candy either. I have some in the cupboard, the one I gave you last time." Chen Rou said.

There are not only milk candies, but also snacks such as chocolate glucose that can quickly replenish physical strength in the space. She bought them in boxes. This autumn harvest, she gave Han Guobin some glucose several times, and he thought it was sugar water.

Han Guobin bought her two kilograms of persimmons and two kilograms of apples.

"Dried hairtail from the coast. No ticket required. Do you want it?" the seller asked.

"Yes, weigh three for me." Chen Rou nodded.

Not only did she ask for three dried hairtails, she also asked for half a pound of dried kelp, and some clam oil to prevent freezing in the winter.

After buying these things, Chen Rou took Han Guobin to the mall. She had been reluctant to buy Han Guobin some wool, so she came over and weighed two kilograms of it.

Two kilograms of wool yarn cost twenty-four yuan. If she hadn't extorted fifty yuan from Old Han's family, she really wouldn't have been willing to buy it.

Her husband Guobin only brought back two or three dollars when he went out hunting. Last time he brought back more than four dollars, but these were all huge profits.

It can be seen how expensive these two kilograms of wool are.

Han Guobin didn't know that this was bought for him, and asked, "Why don't you pick the red one? It suits you better."

"I'm knitting a sweater for you." Chen Rou said.

Han Guobin was stunned, and then the man immediately said: "I don't need it, I have a big cotton coat, it's very warm, wife, you can take it and exchange it, and knit one for yourself!"

Chen Rou pulled her coat down a little to let him see the sweater she was wearing.

Seeing that she was pregnant, Han Guobin wanted to return the yarn even more.

Chen Rou finally persuaded him after much persuasion, and asked him to wait at the entrance of the mall after they left, as she was going to meet a sister.

Because they were sisters, Han Guobin listened to her and didn't follow her, although he didn't know where his wife got the sister from.

But his wife came back soon, with a rectangular piece of cloth in the basket, which seemed to be wrapped with something. Before he could ask, his wife said, "Let's go home!"
