The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 41 (Part 2)

Han Guoli actually had the same idea, but she didn't dare to say it. After all, it was too bold. She was afraid that her second sister-in-law, a well-behaved woman, would not be able to accept it, so she said, "Second brother, do you want to help me cook peanuts? I'm afraid my second sister-in-law will not agree."

She is a smart person, otherwise she would not have been able to go to high school while being supported by her second brother. She has the highest education in the village, but now she is married and has children. Although she was tempted to take the college entrance examination again, she thought about it and gave up.

Not to mention that they have almost forgotten everything after so many years. If they really go to school, the two children will be beaten to death by their cousins.

There are fights at home every day now, and it is usually Haohao and Yaoyao who get beaten and cry. How can she leave?

"It's not a good idea for you to cook secretly in the house like this." Han Guobin looked at her and said, "I'll ask your second sister-in-law to collect it for you, and then cook it in the village and bring it to you. You should wait for me on the other side of the wall during my working hours."

"Will Second Sister-in-law agree to this?" Han Guoli hesitated. If this were possible, it would be great. If she stayed in the house, she would be discovered sooner or later, and then she wouldn't be able to do anything.

"I'll go back and talk to her." Han Guobin nodded.

"Okay then, second brother, if you can convince second sister-in-law, tell her that it's 30% to 70%; I get 30% and she gets 70%!" Han Guoli said immediately.

"Just split it equally." Han Guobin said.

"Okay, second brother, go back and talk to second sister-in-law. This can be done. Tell her not to worry. The city is different now than before!" Han Guoli knew her second brother's personality and he was not the type to be nagging, so she said simply.

"I won't go back today. Let's talk about it tonight." Han Guobin said.

Han Guoli stuffed the money she earned into her second brother's pocket and said, "Brother, take it back and show it to your second sister-in-law. Maybe she will agree."

Han Guobin said, "You don't need these. Just keep the change for yourself."

Han Guoli felt quite embarrassed because she was really too poor now.

Zhang Jiang had to turn in all his salary, and he was able to keep a few cents, but it was not much, and he lived a very frugal life.

When her children were still young, she could still bring some good things back to her parents' home, but now both her pockets are empty.

Han Guobin went to work as usual during the day. It didn't snow at night, and although the wind was quite cold, he still went home with a flashlight tied to the front of his bicycle to light the way.

It was getting late to go home, so Chen Rou poured him some hot water and asked him to get on the bed. She asked, "We have some egg cakes at home, would you like some?"

"Not hungry." Han Guobin looked at his little girl, who was sleeping soundly.

He then took off his clothes and put them aside. Chen Rou turned off the light and went back to the kang to lie in the same quilt with him.

He first asked his wife about the situation at home today, and when he saw that nothing was wrong, he kissed his wife.

"Wife, does my sister-in-law have any more peanuts?" Han Guobin asked.

"Is Third Aunt's business doing well?" Chen Rou asked as soon as she heard it.

"Yeah, it sells pretty well." Han Guobin nodded.

Since it was selling well, Chen Rou was not polite and said, "Third Auntie shouldn't let her mother-in-law know about this business, right?"

Based on her understanding of her third aunt, she would definitely avoid people and would not let her mother-in-law know, otherwise all the earnings would have to be handed over.

This was the rule before the Zhang family split up.

If all the money has to be handed over, then her third aunt's work will not be in vain.

"I don't know." Han Guobin nodded.

"Either she should be honest about this matter from the beginning, or she should keep it secret from beginning to end. It won't be good to let her mother-in-law know before the matter is sorted out. She won't have a good New Year." Chen Rou continued.

"Wife, do you want to have a share?" As someone who was lying in the same bed with him, Han Guobin understood what was said.

"I just want to do Third Aunt a favor. I will collect and cook the peanuts, and she will just be responsible for taking the goods from you and selling them. When she's done, she can go home and there won't be any trace." Chen Rou said.

Han Guobin laughed. If his wife wasn't pregnant, it was still early and he would have wanted to show his love to his wife.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you agree?" Chen Rou said.

She didn't think that she was taking advantage of Han Guoli, the third aunt. This was a mutually beneficial cooperation.

What kind of relationships are the strongest? Win-win relationships.

Otherwise it would be fine if she helped her collect once or twice, but why should she keep helping her without any benefit at all?

How dare Han Guoli come back to cause trouble again?

Both sides benefit. Han Guoli doesn't need to feel embarrassed. She also has reasons to contribute. Why should she be embarrassed?

"My wife is really smart." Han Guobin leaned over and gave her a kiss.

Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you say?"

"That's great. Let's put aside the cost and split it 50-50?" Han Guobin asked.

"Okay." Chen Rou nodded. A 50-50 split was a good idea. There was no need to push the profit back and forth. "Go talk to Third Aunt tomorrow. If she agrees, then we can cooperate. If she doesn't agree, I'll help pick the peanuts, too."

"That's what I told her today." Han Guobin said with a smile, and told her what happened today. Then he hugged his beloved wife and said, "Wife, does this count as what they say on the stage, that we have telepathic connection?"

"Shameless." Chen Rou pinched him lightly, but also laughed.

We are all sleeping in the same bed, so stupidity can be contagious, but so can intelligence.

So the next day, Mrs. Han had business again.

"How many do you have, sister-in-law?" Chen Rou asked softly.

"There are still more than five kilograms." Mrs. Han's voice was a little excited.

"Give them all to me?" Chen Rou smiled.

"Just calculate it as five kilograms for me." Mrs. Han said immediately.

Chen Rou weighed it and realized that she could not get two taels out of five pounds, so she did not calculate it so clearly with Mrs. Han. She just charged her two yuan at 40 cents per pound of peanuts.

Mrs. Han took the money and couldn't help but smile, saying, "If you want me to plant peanuts on my land next year?"

"It's up to you, sister-in-law." Chen Rou agreed. Without any further delay, she took her things and went home.

When you bring the peanuts home, you need to soak them in water and wash them clean before putting them into the pot.

But Chen Rou didn't care. She first cooked some millet porridge and fried a small plate of eggs. Han Guobin came in wearing a jacket and cloth shoes.

"Bring the eggs in, we can have breakfast." Chen Rou said.

"Let's eat first. The three brothers and sisters haven't woken up yet." Han Guobin said.

The couple had breakfast in the kitchen first. After they finished, Han Guobin took the initiative to wash the pot and asked his wife to sit in front of the stove and light a fire.

After cleaning the pot and adding water, he washed the peanuts and put them into the pot according to his wife's instructions.

It is not difficult to cook wet peanuts, and there are no other seasonings. Just salt, the king of flavors, is enough.

Chen Rou was thinking that it was the end of the year now, and she had to make it while she could, so she stored all the more than five pounds of peanuts. She actually had some at home, but she had nothing to do so she peeled them into peanuts, so she decided to keep them for her family.

"You watch the fire, I'm going to go sit at Sister Zhen's house." Chen Rou said.

He not only went to Zhou Zhen's house, but also went to Cai Lihua's house and collected peanuts from both houses.

Zhou Zhen's family has a lot of peanuts this year, and they planted peanuts in their private plot, almost 15 kilograms. She plans to press peanut oil next year.

Cai Lihua's family has less, only five or six kilograms.

But Chen Rou was asked to take them all.

If we talk about who she has the best relationship with in the village, it would naturally be these two. Chen Rou trusts them.

Zhou Zhen and Cai Lihua heard from her that Han Guobin's colleague in the city wanted to buy it, so they came to get it, and they had an idea in mind.

My parents still have some, do you want more? If you want, I'll bring some back when I go back to my parents' home this Chinese New Year!

Chen Rou asked if her mother's family was reliable.

They both told me not to worry, there would be absolutely no problem.

Chen Rou let him take it.

When Han Guobin went to work carrying the cooked peanuts, Chen Rou asked her two sons to look after their sister, and she went back to her parents' home and brought some egg cakes to her parents.

"There's not enough left for Hanghang and the others to eat, why bring it here?" Chen's mother said to her.

"Aunt, this is also a way of showing filial piety to you, parents." Mrs. Chen San said with a smile.

Mrs. Chen Dasao and Mrs. Chen Ersao moved out the second year after they separated, and now they are living a good life.

At that time, Mrs. Chen San was a little sad. She felt that her husband did not trust her and did not even want to separate.

Even though she said at night that she had let it go and didn't want to split up, she still felt a little uncomfortable. But when she went back home for the New Year, her mother took her hand and asked if they had split up.

Mrs. Chen San was stunned. Her parents' home was not close to her husband's home. How could she know this not long after the separation?

Her mother said she found out about it, and then asked her how much money she got? Was it 100 yuan?

Her parents wanted to build a brick house, but they were short of a hundred yuan, so they asked her to take the money back to her parents' home to borrow for use, and they would return the money to her soon.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen San broke out in a cold sweat on her back even though it was a freezing cold day!

Didn't her mother say the same thing to her sister? Her family is short of money to build a house, so you can give it to her first as an emergency measure, and she will return it to you soon.

However, until this year, it has not yet...

It was from that time that her brother-in-law turned against her sister. He used to be very nice to her sister, but later, every time his sister dared to say anything to her family, he would beat her!

It's obvious that they want to sever the relationship, but it hasn't been done yet, as her mother comes over every now and then.
