The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 37 (Part 4)
These words were passed to Chen Rou through Cai Lihua's mouth.
Because Han's mother kept talking to her mother-in-law, and of course her mother-in-law helped her speak up.
Aunt Han also said to Han's mother: "You ate it all, didn't you? My father-in-law and the brothers-in-law who came to help build the house haven't eaten yet. What's wrong with sending some back? Sister-in-law, why are you still not satisfied? If I could marry a daughter-in-law who brings prosperity to the family like that, I would be happy even if I had to close my eyes and die now!"
Chen Rou laughed and said, "Second Aunt is exaggerating."
"It's not an exaggeration. Everyone in the village says that you bring prosperity to the family. They say that the family became prosperous after Uncle Guobin married you." Cai Lihua said with a smile.
She got married earlier than Chen Rou, so naturally she knew her cousin Han Guobin earlier. From having nothing to having everything now, it was all because of her prosperity after she came into the family.
I have a job in the city, a brick house, and I also have big items like a bicycle and a watch. My life is so prosperous.
People in the village were saying that this was all brought by Guobin's wife, and most of them agreed that she was a prosperous family.
For Aunt Han, there is no doubt about it.
Even though Ye Qian has given birth to her second child, the first a daughter and the second a son, she still cannot be treated well by Aunt Han.
Because it hasn’t been such a smooth journey.
When the second son was born, rumors spread in the village that Ye Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing were seen talking to each other in private!
Such a thing had happened between the two of them before, yet they were still able to talk to each other without avoiding each other. Moreover, not long after, word spread that the child was Wang Zhiqing's.
It was Han Guo who had just gone to work. Wang Zhiqing asked for leave on the pretext of taking a rest, and sneaked over there and got pregnant with Ye Zhiqing.
That's how this child came about.
The rumor didn't dissipate until the child was born and looked like South Korea's Gang.
But Aunt Han was still angry!
There is no smoke without fire. If the words had not really been spoken and had already been let go, who would have spread the news?
Especially since Wang Zhiqing did ask for leave!
But that stupid son was almost trapped in it, and he kept silent and just lived his life like that.
She also heard that her son had to cook for Ye Zhiqing, who was unable to work in the fields, after returning from work.
Is this a wife you marry or an ancestor you worship?
Comparing her with Chen Rou, who was in charge of everything at home and outside, Second Aunt Han sighed a lot about her fate.
How come a mother-in-law like her sister-in-law can marry such a daughter-in-law, while she, who treats her daughter-in-law well, has to meet that kind of daughter-in-law?
After moving to the new house, life went on as usual.
It’s funny to say that the two sons were very happy to have their own kang, but at night, when they had to sleep alone, the two brothers were a little uncomfortable.
Han Guobin coaxed his two sons: "You are all grown-up children and grown-up men. It is your responsibility to sleep by yourself."
"But I want to sleep with mom." The waiter Han Zhou looked at his father and said.
"Mom and Dad are in the next room. Just shout if you have any problems. Don't be afraid, your eldest brother is here." Han Guobin said.
"Brother also wants to sleep with mom." Han Zhou looked at his elder brother.
Han Hang depends on his father, he really wants to.
In the end, Chen Rou let them sleep on the kang. Just take your time and there's no need to suddenly ask them to sleep on their own.
The two brothers slept contentedly in their parents' room.
Chen Rou didn't rush to sleep. After the children fell asleep, she chatted with her husband Guo Bin: "It's very tiring to take a long car ride nowadays. You have to be careful outside. Nothing is more important than yourself."
"I know." Han Guobin nodded.
He had to listen to his wife's words. He still felt scared when he thought about the surprise search two years ago.
At that time, there was an old man who wanted to sell grain to him. It was very safe. He could make money as long as he brought it back and sold it.
His colleague Li Dayuan was also very tempted and wanted to buy it and sell it on the same day.
If you sell more than 300 kilograms of grain on the black market, you can make 1 cent per kilogram, which means more than 30 yuan for more than 300 kilograms of grain.
However, Han Guobin stopped himself. Not only did he refuse to accept it, but Li Dayuan also saw that his face looked a little unhappy, and finally hesitated and did not accept it.
After all, if Han Guobin doesn't do this kind of thing, it's not easy for him to take all the blame.
The two drove back to the county town in the middle of the night, but as soon as they entered the city, their car was surrounded by the police who were conducting a surprise search.
It was said that someone reported the Ministry of Transport for speculation and profiteering.
However, Han Guobin and Li Dayuan looked calm and were not afraid of the investigation at all. There was nothing suspicious in the car, so naturally nothing happened.
When the two of them returned to the dormitory, their backs were cold!
Han Guobin never mentioned this matter to his wife, for fear of scaring her and making her worry, but Han Guobin conducted some deep reflection afterwards.
Li Dayuan also patted him on the shoulder and said: A good wife brings less trouble to her husband!
Chen Rou was already quite pregnant, and after chatting with him, she fell asleep in a short while.
Han Guobin also fell asleep quickly, and went to work as soon as the next day's time came.
Life is really not easy now compared to before. The salary in the Transport Department is still the same, thirty-four yuan plus five yuan for food allowance.
But you will be given two extra tickets every month.
But nowadays, it takes ten days or half a month to go out and back.
Han Guobin seldom took the initiative to tell her about what was happening outside. He would only tell her when Chen Rou asked him. And from the feedback she received from Guobin, the current situation outside was much better than before.
She estimated that the four of them would collapse soon, either this year or next year.
It seemed like things started to get better after the four people fell down? This was vaguely what I remembered.
Ye Qian came here in the afternoon and still wanted to exchange the ticket.
Chen Rou rarely returned them to her, and over the years she only gave her two.
This time, Chen Rou replied, "I invited a table yesterday and used it all."
"My sister-in-law treated me to a dinner yesterday, but she didn't invite me over," Ye Qian said.
Chen Rou said, "My second aunt came yesterday." The implication was that my second aunt came, and since you don't get along with her, she would never invite you.
Ye Qian sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, now that I have given Guo Gang a daughter and a son, this is settled, but my mother-in-law still refuses to forgive me. Can you talk to her about it?"
Chen Rou looked at her in confusion: "I'm just the niece's wife, I have no say in such matters."
Really, it’s one thing that she and Ye Qian are not familiar with each other, but for something like this, if she really wanted to, she should try to ease the relationship herself. Her second aunt is not like her mother-in-law.
Moreover, Ye Zhiqing herself didn't pay attention, but she also heard the rumors outside.
Ye Qian looked at the brick house and said, "This big brick house is really magnificent. My sister-in-law will enjoy a good life in the future. If the man is capable and competent, the woman can live a good life."
Look at this country woman. She is lucky enough to marry a man who is ambitious and hardworking, and now lives in this spacious brick house.
Look at her again. She is just like Han Guogang. She only knows how to do farm work and occasionally catch pheasants and rabbits during the slack season. She only earns one dollar and fifty cents. Just thinking about it makes her feel so dark.
Especially after so many years, she is still allowed to live in that pig farm.
It stinks, but now I see this bright brick house.
Just thinking about it makes me feel sick to my stomach!
Chen Rou frowned and said, "Uncle Guogang is supporting a large family now. I heard that you don't even clean up the pig farm. You don't work hard to earn work points on weekdays. The whole family depends on Uncle Guogang's shoulders. If there is a good man like Uncle Guogang, why don't you try to find someone else?"
"Sister-in-law, it's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist. Second brother is ambitious and you can live such a good life. But where I live now is almost like a pigsty!" Ye Qian said.
"Then why were you willing to be with Uncle Guogang in the first place? You could have chosen not to marry." Chen Rou asked back bluntly.
She knew that Ye Qian was not likable, otherwise someone like her second aunt would not be so unmoved after she gave birth to grandchildren. But she had never had a deep conversation with her, but after listening to it today, she really understood her second aunt.
After hearing what she said, Ye Qian didn't say anything else and turned around and left.
Chen Rou looked at her back and sighed for Han Guogang in her heart. Ye Zhiqing's personality has not changed in these years. If the college entrance examination is restored, he will not be able to stay.
However, as another educated youth getting married, Su Mianmian is living a very good life now.
And she and her third cousin are really amazing. They wrote to her this year and she is already pregnant with her third child.
This year during the Chinese New Year, she came back with her third cousin, bringing their two sons with them.
She even came to her and complained that she really didn't want to have so many children, and that women who had too many children would age faster and would not be beautiful by then.
Chen Rou introduced a condom to her, but Su Mianmian said that she knew she had one at home, but sometimes it was beyond her control.
