The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 44 (Part 3)

Chen Rou started talking about doing business: "We will move to the city next year, and we will no longer be selling things. Why don't you come to my shop to help out? It's ten dollars a month. When the food comes in, you can cooperate with my sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law doesn't know yet?" Han Guoli said.

"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.

"Then I'll go to your place to help you first. It would be awkward to talk about money. I'll have nothing to do then and will be sitting around doing nothing anyway." Han Guoli said.

"Yes, it's ten dollars a month." Chen Rou said.

"I'm worried that you, my second sister-in-law, can't even earn ten dollars a month from your store." Han Guoli told the truth.

Han Guoli is just as ugly. With state-owned hotels around, who would want to eat in a small restaurant?

Thinking of this, Han Guoli couldn't help but said, "Second sister-in-law, you have to think about it carefully. This will cost a lot of money, and no one in the city does this now."

Chen Rou said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

It's just the beginning now, and no one is optimistic about it, but Chen Rou knows what's going on.

"Okay, since you, second sister-in-law, have decided to do it, I will come over to help you when the time comes." Han Guoli nodded.

"What time will you and your uncle go back? I'll make some buns for you to take back." Chen Rou said.

"I'm not going back today. I'll stay with my parents for the New Year's Eve dinner and go back tomorrow." Han Guoli said.

"What's wrong?" Chen Rou looked at her.

There is no custom in her place for daughters to go back to their parents' home for New Year's Eve dinner, unless they can no longer stay at their husband's home.

Han Guoli repeated that her mother-in-law did not agree to divide the property and threatened not to give her a penny.

Chen Rou frowned and said, "You can't not pay a penny. Let your second brother handle this matter."

"No need, second brother. It's impossible for him to go there. My mother-in-law is not a peaceful person. If my second brother goes there, she will go to his unit to make trouble. I have told mother about this. If she doesn't give money, I will ask Zhang Jiang to come back and invite mother over!" Han Guoli said.

Chen Rou nodded after hearing this. With her mother-in-law there, she really didn't have to worry too much. She could always scrape out some money and not be kicked out of the house with nothing.

But in fact, even if Han's mother went there, she couldn't get any money from Zhang's mother.

Because Zhang's mother didn't have much money at all.

Not long after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Han Guoli found a courtyard. It was quite old and needed to be renovated before she could move in. It belonged to an old Western medicine doctor who had been sent down to the countryside.

However, after the old Western doctor was released, he didn't want to stay in this sad place, so he wanted to transfer it out. His son was also sent down, but they had been communicating through letters for many years. He married a country girl and had two children. He planned to go there to find his son and grandchildren to live with.

So I wanted to sell it.

Although the area is not small, the yard has been badly damaged. If they want to live in it again, they can only do some repairs, but in fact they have to rebuild it.

The key point is that this old Western doctor charges a high price, more than two hundred yuan.

Han Guoli informed her second brother and came to see the yard.

The yard is not close to the school. It takes more than half an hour to walk there. The surrounding area is quite lively, but the key is that it takes half an hour to ride a bicycle to the shop.

The only advantage is that it is not far from the county hospital, only about ten minutes' walk away. This house was bought specifically for living in. After all, the old doctor works there, but he was heartbroken this time and doesn't want to go back to work.

Han Guobin was not very satisfied after coming to see it, although it only took about ten minutes to ride a bicycle from here to the Transportation Department.

But it is not very convenient for his wife and children.

But the yard is really hard to find.

So we can only decide this for now, and if we find a suitable place later, we will move again.

Han Guobin bargained with the old doctor and would not let him name the price. In the end, they settled on two hundred yuan, but Han Guobin gave him two national food coupons.

They all weigh five kilograms.

I went to the Housing Management Office that day to get a certificate to transfer the land deed.

Then this yard will be his home.

When Han Guobin found someone to start renovating the yard, Han Guoli also found a house of her own. Although they were not in the same house, she also wanted to live next door and be neighbors with her second brother and his wife.

But there is no way around it, houses are really hard to rent and are in very short supply.

It's more than ten minutes away and can be considered a yard, but unlike her second brother's independent yard, her yard belongs to someone else, but she can't live in it all, so she rents it out.

The owner of the house occupied most of the space, leaving her family with only a shady room of more than 20 square meters, which cost two dollars and fifty cents a month to rent.

Because she thought the house was great, Han Guoli moved out and naturally asked her mother-in-law for the separation fee.

But how could Zhang's mother possibly give it to her? Not to mention that she has no money, she wouldn't give it to her even if she had money. It would simply be a provocation to her dignity and prestige as a mother-in-law!

So Han Guoli asked her husband Zhang Jiang to take half a day off and go to the countryside to invite his mother-in-law over.

There is no need to mention Han's mother's fighting ability, and she thinks that the old man in the Zhang family is too shameless.

When the eldest and second sons separated, she gave 15 yuan each. This old bitch took her son-in-law's salary for so many years and didn't give him a penny. Even a stingy person is not like her. People like her should be called blood-sucking worms!

Naturally, the two old ladies started to curse at each other. When Zhang Jiang's father, Zhang's father, came home from get off work, he saw that his door was full of people. He also saw the two old ladies cursing at each other and they were about to fight.

After he understood what was going on, his face darkened and he asked his wife to give the money directly. It was not too much to give his son and daughter-in-law 50 yuan as a settling-in fee.

"Money is more important than life, and you still want money? Don't want a penny. Either get out or come and fight me. Do you really think I'm afraid of a country old hag like you? You have a son, and I have a son too. Come and fight me!" Zhang's mother was very arrogant.

"I thought city people were also tolerant and generous, but today really broadened my horizons. My son-in-law's salary has been in your hands for so many years, and you have been the head of the family. Even if her family of four needs to spend some money in the past, it has been at least one or two hundred over the years. Now the house is too crowded and they want to move out so that others can make room for a more spacious place. You didn't even give them 50 yuan as a resettlement fee. Everyone come and have your say, and see how powerful this woman from the Zhang family is!" Although Han's mother was so angry that she wanted to tear her apart, the third brother's family had already told her about it before they went to the city.

If you meet someone who is reasonable, then don't try to reason with her and just act like a spoiled child. If you meet someone who is unreasonable, then try to reason with her and don't force it.

Now Han's mother finally realized that the old woman of the Zhang family was even more shrewish than the old women in the country. It was useless to act like a spoiled child to her. She knew this kind of person, so she had to show her tolerance and let her father-in-law see how unreasonable his mother-in-law was!

"She's just a country girl. My Zhang family spent so much money to get her a household registration when she got married. Don't we even need to calculate all this? I didn't agree to give her a share but she insisted on it. This is disobedient and unfilial. She even wants a share of the money? No way!" Zhang's mother refused to give in.

"The money for getting the household registration was all saved by Zhang Jiang, and now the money is all after they get married. You should stop talking about it. If the Zhang family doesn't give us the resettlement fee, don't let my daughter be filial to them in the future!" Han's mother looked directly at Zhang's father and said.

Mr. Zhang's face was gloomy and he went straight into the cabinet to get the money. It was really embarrassing.

"I have no money, no money. If you want to take my money, then you have to step over my dead body. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a penny from me!" Zhang's mother said angrily.

"Grandma is out of money. Grandpa, please don't ask her for money. All your money has been taken away by your cousins." said Mrs. Zhang's eldest daughter.

"What cousin?" Zhang's father was stunned.

Zhang's mother suddenly looked a little panicked, and she slapped her granddaughter fiercely: "You money-loser, what are you talking about!" She also shouted to attract everyone's attention: "You don't want money, this is what my son and daughter-in-law earned. You country bumpkin want to share the money? Forget it!"

He even gave his eldest granddaughter a harsh look.

Her eldest granddaughter trembled immediately and hid behind her mother.

The others were not so easily fooled and were already suspicious.

But Han's mother was well-informed. She almost did not hesitate. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Zhang's mother's wrist. She stared at her and asked, "Did you use all the money from my son-in-law's family to support your family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Zhang family, including Zhang's father, changed.
