The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 51 (Part 1)

Brother Chen San continued to count. Fruits, melons and vegetables were not expensive. He charged 20 cents for all of them. He didn't charge for the mushrooms because his mother had picked them up and asked him to bring them over.

But the eggs are counted. He makes three cents per pound of eggs, so more than 30 pounds of eggs are almost one dollar. If you take other things into account, he can make almost two dollars this time.

Brother Chen San was so happy. His brother-in-law had become a lot more cunning over the years, but at least he didn't cheat him. If he said the minimum price was one dollar, it was one dollar.

Chen Rou calculated the principal and interest for him and said with a smile: "It may not be this much next time. I made a profit from two chickens."

"What's there to worry about? This time it's Third Aunt, next time it might be First Aunt. There are other old ladies as well." said Third Brother Chen.

The old ladies raised a lot of hens and waited for him to go back and promote them. Who doesn't want to make money? What is there to worry about?

Of course the key is that Brother Chen San is brave enough to carry those things into the city without fear of being caught.

At this moment, Brother Chen and Brother Chen II did not have the same idea as him.

When Brother Chen San rode his bicycle back home, leaving all his goods in the city, everyone in the village immediately asked how the sales were going and whether your sister's shop was doing well.

"They haven't been sold out yet. Many people have come to ask about my third aunt's two chickens, but no one has bought them yet. However, I estimate that I should be able to sell them in the next few days." Brother Chen said.

"There are no chickens in the city. Last time someone carried a chicken into the city, it was quickly sold." someone said.

"That's because you're lucky. People in the city aren't that rich, and they live a very refined life." said Brother Chen San.

"You didn't lie to us?"

"Why would I lie to you? If it were as good as you say, I would go to the city every day. Why would I need to farm then?" Brother Chen boasted.

His sister's business is simply amazing. It doesn't take long for so many fruits and vegetables to be displayed, and there are also eggs and live chickens.

If you do this business for a long time, you will definitely make a fortune.

But Brother Chen San is not stupid enough to tell the truth. Wouldn't that just cause trouble?

As for his previous calculation, it was wrong. He only went there once every three days, which means he went there about ten times a month. Each trip cost a little more than one dollar but less than two dollars, which is not that much in a month.

But there was nothing he could do. He wanted to go there every day, but there weren't that many fruits and vegetables. There weren't many in people's private plots. Even if he wanted to sell them, he had to keep them for himself. So he could only go to the city once every three days.

But it's okay. I made so much money in just half a day's work.

Chen's mother listened to her son's true story in private, but she didn't say anything to him. She just told him, "If your eldest brother and second brother come to ask, tell them the same thing."

"How could the eldest and second brothers ask this?" said the third brother Chen.

Brother Chen and Brother Chen did not ask, but Sister-in-law Chen and Sister-in-law Chen wanted to ask.

At night, Chen Ersao couldn't help but murmur to Chen Erge: "Uncle San brought so many things and left them all in the city. I guess my sister-in-law's business must be doing well."

Brother Chen yawned and said, "Aren't you carrying eggs to sell?"

"That's just how much it costs." said Chen Ersao.

"Then what do you want?" Brother Chen asked.

"Isn't it time to replace our adobe house?" said Chen Ersao.

Brother Chen understood immediately: "You want to borrow money from my little sister?"

"If my sister-in-law can spare some money to borrow, I will remember her favor." Chen Ersao said.

"What's the use of your favor, little sister?" Brother Chen said with a smile, "How much money does our family have now?"

Chen Ersao reported a number.

"Then we can start this year. Ask Guobin to help get some bricks and tiles. Go borrow the money we need from our parents first. Don't ask my little sister because she has her own rented house in the city." said the second brother Chen.

"Mom, can you lend it to me?" Chen Ersao couldn't help but ask.

"So what if mom has treated you badly? Which family in our village can get a hundred yuan of assets from parents?" Brother Chen asked in confusion.

He didn't borrow the money to gamble, he borrowed it to build a house, why would his mother not be happy to lend it to him?

Chen Ersao said, "When the time comes, go and ask mother for help."

"Okay, I'll go." Brother Chen agreed: "Go to bed quickly, it's getting late."

After Brother Chen Er fell asleep, Sister Chen Er was still thinking. She felt that her aunt must have made money, and looking at Uncle San's behavior today, she knew that he was in a good mood and must not be telling the truth.

Brother Chen was also pulled by Sister Chen to talk: "My sister-in-law's business in the city must be very good."

"You didn't see it, so how do you know it's good?" Brother Chen was tired after a day's work, but he still said.

"My uncle-in-law comes to pick up so much goods every week, and now he asks my third uncle to send them back every few days. Is this a good idea?" said Mrs. Chen.

"It's good if it's good. What if it's not good?" Brother Chen said, "My nephews are still young. They are all hungry and can't help."

"With my uncle's job, I don't have to worry." Mrs. Chen said.

"What do you want to say?" Brother Chen wanted to sleep, so he just asked directly.

"The second family said that they are planning to build a brick and tile house. Can our family start later than them?" said Mrs. Chen.

"If you remember, just start together with the second brother's family." said Brother Chen.

"I still owe more than 200 yuan." said Mrs. Chen.

"You want to borrow money from my little sister?" Brother Chen said, only realizing it belatedly.

"If my sister-in-law's business is doing well, she won't be too busy, right?" said Mrs. Chen.

"Come on, if you dare to ask this to my little sister, I will be the first one to scold you. If you need anything, come to me to borrow it, don't ask my little sister." Brother Chen said.

"I guess my second uncle's family will also lend us some money when the time comes. Will mother be willing to lend it to our family?" said Mrs. Chen.

"Why don't you go back to your mother's house and borrow some?" Brother Chen said.

"How much money do my parents have?" Mrs. Chen said unhappily.

"When the time comes, I'll ask mom if she has it. If she does, I'll borrow it first. If not, we can wait our time." Brother Chen said.

"Can't you go and borrow some money from your sister-in-law for emergency use?" Mrs. Chen couldn't help but say.

"Mom will be unhappy. You know that she never lets us bother my younger sister. So, put your mind at ease." Brother Chen said.

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him, but Brother Chen ignored her and turned around to go to sleep.

Chen Rou didn't know about these things happening in the countryside.

The business of the steamed bun shop was going on as usual. Brother Chen San went into the city once every three days, and basically every time he went into the city he would bring a chicken cage with him. Sometimes he would carry one chicken, and sometimes three chickens, but he would never fail to bring any.

Because the profits were so considerable, Brother Chen San did not miss out even during the summer harvest.

He went into the city to unload his things in the morning, ate some buns and soy milk given by his younger sister, and went back quickly, without even bothering to do the accounting.

It was only ten o'clock when he returned to the village, and he rode his bike to participate in the summer harvest.

It’s really busy, but it’s also refreshing.

Life was good until the summer harvest was over. He didn't rest, but brought supplies to his sister every other day and settled the bills that had accumulated during this period.

Chen Rou brought him a piece of meat and asked him to take it back to nourish his parents.

Brother Chen San didn't be polite to her.

Han Guobin did not return from this business trip until the end of August.

I got back very late at night, around 1:00 a.m.

It must have been a long time since he last showered. He looked so dirty that Chen Rou couldn't stand the smell.

"Wife, you dislike me." Han Guobin said with a smile, carrying a leather bag and an electric fan.

"Hurry up and take a shower." Chen Rou took it from him and said.

It's a hot day, it's still hot, you can just rinse it with the water in the bucket.

"Wife, you go in and sleep first. I'll come after I finish taking a shower." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou went into the house carrying her purse and electric fan.

She didn't touch her bag. She just plugged in the electric fan and the wind came out immediately. It was so comfortable.

Chen Rou covered little Lao Si with a small sheet and waited for Han Guobin to come in. Her purse was full of heavy stuff.

She guessed that this man must have taken the opportunity to make some money again, but she waited for him to come into the house and give it to her.

Han Guobin quickly washed up and came in.
