The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 30 (Part 2)

After everyone dispersed and went home, Song Xiaoyu went back to her room and almost burst into tears. She lost five dollars today!

How much is her monthly salary?

What's worse is that she has to give three yuan of living expenses every month. Song Xiaoyu feels that she is going to be annoyed to death by Mrs. Han.

Of course she was also annoyed with Chen Rou. Guan was pretending. She had asked someone to inquire in the city. Being a driver was a lucrative job. The monthly salary was definitely more than 25 yuan. Why was she still crying poor?

When Han Guolin returned to the house, he saw her sitting there sulking. He took out five dollars from his pocket and said, "My mother told me to bring it back to you."

Song Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Mom said she doesn't need your living expenses. She and Dad can still work, so you can just keep it for yourself." Han Guolin said.

Song Xiaoyu wanted to take it back, but she could only say, "It's already been taken out, how can I take it back? Give it to mom and say it's my living expenses. I'll see how my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will use this to blame me in the future!"

She felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have thought about the second wife's salary. Otherwise, Chen Rou would not have exposed her for eating for free. Now it would be unreasonable not to give her something.

Do we want her to be criticized by the whole village?

"Are you really going to give it to mom?" Han Guolin hesitated.

"Take it!" Song Xiaoyu gritted his teeth.

Han Guolin took out the money and gave it to his mother. His mother took the money and said, "Go back and tell your wife that I will keep the money for you. Dad and mom will live with you from now on. The money is all yours!"

Han Guolin smiled and said, "What are you talking about, mother? This money is yours after I give it to you. You can spend it however you want."

"I, your mother, am already this old, why should I spend any more money? You know how to respect your mother, so I'll keep this money for you, and it will also shut those two up!" Han's mother snorted.

Han Guolin told this to his wife, and Song Xiaoyu felt much better.

She knew that the old lady favored her third wife, and from now on all the money would belong to her, there was no doubt about it!

Not only did they not suffer any loss tonight, they even ate a lot and made the third brother's family bleed. Needless to say, Han's wife was in a very bad mood. She didn't stay calm even after returning home, but went out to complain to others.

What he was talking about was naturally the fact that Song Xiaoyu, the third brother's sister-in-law, had been eating for free at home and being supported by the two elders after she got married.

It was not until tonight that her second brother's family exposed her and forced her to give living expenses that she was willing to take out some money.

This news surprised everyone in the village.

"Guolin's wife is very calculating. She earns money for herself and eats public money." Some people said.

"Yes, if it weren't for tonight I wouldn't know she had so many plans." said Mrs. Han.

"Then your parents-in-law really treat her as their own daughter."

"Even their own daughter is not so dear to them. She has married into a happy family. The elders value her very much!" said Mrs. Han.

In short, after Han Dasao told the story, basically everyone in the village knew about Song Xiaoyu's plan. When Song Xiaoyu found out, she was really annoyed with Han Dasao, the gossipy woman.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Rou.

Although she didn't have much contact with Song Xiaoyu, she knew the character of this sister-in-law very well, and she was sure that she would not hand over her salary to Han's mother.

The food must be from the public.

However, if both of them knew the truth but pretended to be ignorant, then everything would be fine. If she still dared to find fault, then she would naturally ask her to sort it out without hesitation.

She hasn't taken enough advantage and still wants to take more. Why should she be polite to her sister-in-law? He tore her apart without hesitation, leaving her with no face at all.

Seeing that she was forcing herself to smile tonight, Chen Rou was in a good mood.

The couple took their son home, and Han Guobin asked with a smile, "What are you so happy about?"

"It's nothing. Why is your son still not asleep at this time?" Chen Rou said with a smile. There was no need to tell him about the twists and turns between women.

"The bigger it is, the more energetic it is." Han Guobin said.

However, little Han Hang couldn't hold on for long. He ate stewed rations and was helped to pee before going to bed. After he felt comfortable, he fell asleep.

The little guy fell asleep, and the rest of the time belonged to his parents.

Today is New Year's Eve, which is a good day. The couple worked hard inside and outside the house, and then they hugged each other, talked quietly at night, and kept watch together.

It was not until after twelve o'clock that I changed the child's diaper, let him eat something, and then blew out the lights and went to sleep.

The next day was New Year's Day, but it snowed last night. Today, everything outside was covered in snow, so there was no rush to get up.

The kang at home is really warm this year.

Han Guobin got up to change his son's diaper, then put the little guy in the middle of the quilt. He was obviously very happy and grinned at his parents.

The whole family stayed in bed for a long time before getting up.

After noon, some guests came to the house. Chen Rou greeted them and listened to their conversation. Only then did Chen Rou know what Han Dasao, the big mouth, had spread everywhere last night.

Chen Rou didn't want to talk about this any more, so she changed the subject. A cousin-in-law also came over to sit at her house, so Chen Rou started talking about the iron pot.

Her husband is one year older than Han Guobin and has been married for three or four years. They have a pot at home, but it is too broken.

Last time Han Guobin brought some back, and after the New Year, he brought it to her family.

The topic immediately shifted to buying a pot.

Han Guobin also went out and stayed with the men, but he didn't like to hang out with those indecent idlers. He would talk about the dirty words between men and women on the kang every now and then.

I was with the team leader and he started talking about fertilizers.

The village applied for fertilizer several times but was unsuccessful, although the harvest has been good in the past two or three years. However, those who were able to apply for fertilizer have greatly increased production.

One acre of land can increase the grain production by about 100 kilograms. What a huge amount!

"I'll try this." Han Guobin said.

Secretary Zhang told him that if he had any problems, he could come to him and he would help solve them. Other things were fine, but Han Guobin wanted to try applying for fertilizers.

After all, he still wanted to get the village's head food, and he also wanted the villagers to not dare to look at his wife with disdain.

So he has to contribute to the fertilizer.

The captain was very happy to hear his words. Although he didn't know whether the application could be approved, at least there was someone who had a say, right?

When Han Guobin returned home, all the guests at home had also gone home.

Chen Rou cleaned up the house and opened the windows for ventilation. Seeing him coming back, she said, "I just took two orders for you. If you have industrial coupons after the New Year, you can bring the pot back."

Han Guobin always felt that his wife seemed to know something, but he didn't dare to ask and just nodded.

The couple looked at each other, with a tacit understanding between them.

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, is the day when the son-in-law comes to visit.

The couple was lazy in bed again and didn't come to Old Chen's house until after nine o'clock. When they came, they happened to meet An Dabang and Chen Sijie who were returning home with their twin sons.

"You guys have calculated the time perfectly. We have come from far away and are no worse than you." said Sister Chen Si.

"Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law." Chen Rou called out with a smile.

"This is Guobin." Sister Chen introduced Han Guobin to An Dabang.

They greeted each other and then took their children into the house together. Chen's mother was waiting there. When she heard the voice, she saw her two daughters and son-in-law coming in with their grandchildren. Her face immediately broke into smiles.

"I told you guys would be here soon. Come in quickly. The kang is being heated and we're waiting for you," said Chen's mother happily.

Father Chen also came out of the house.

"This is grandpa, hurry up and call him." Chen Sijie had just finished asking her two sons to call grandma, and then she started asking them to call grandpa.

The two twin sons are good-looking and, most importantly, look alike. They are very likable, otherwise why would Chen Sijie's mother-in-law look up to her so highly because of this?

I often prepare special meals for my two grandsons.

The older one is named Anwen and the younger one is named Anwu. It sounds auspicious that they have both civil and military talents in one baby.

Fourth Sister Chen got married at the end of the year and gave birth to the twins the following year. She got married early, and her children are almost four years old now, so naturally she can call people a long time ago.

The two brothers were very naughty, but after listening to their mother, they still shouted "Grandpa" loudly.

Father Chen smiled and nodded, then gave each of them ten cents!

But the two brothers Wenwu were very happy.

Little boy Han Hang couldn't call people yet, but he was smart. He probably saw that his grandfather gave the money to his two brothers but not to him, so he looked at his grandfather.

"Oh, are you asking your grandpa for New Year's money?" Sister Chen Si said with a smile.

"There's some for you, too." Father Chen also smiled and gave his grandson a dime.

Little Hanhang seemed to know money and kept it in his hands. His fourth aunt teased him and wanted to take it away from him, but he refused and gave it directly to his mother.
