The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 53 (Part 2)

Mrs. Han went in to settle the money with her, and then followed Chen Rou to the yard.

He asked Uncle Donkey to help carry the bag of soybeans into the warehouse and then he calculated the money for Mrs. Han.

The children were playing at the door, Uncle Donkey was feeding the black donkey at the door, and the two sisters-in-law sat down in the house to have a good chat.

Mrs. Han couldn't help but say, "Second sister-in-law, how come you seem like a different person when I see you now?"

"I can still change. How can I change?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.

"Didn't you look in the mirror? You're so white that it reflects light. You look energetic and beautiful, as if you're not married yet." said Mrs. Han.

"Just praise me, sister-in-law." Chen Rou scolded with a smile, then said, "I prepared two bags of brown sugar. One bag is for you to keep and the other bag is for you to take to the old house."

"Why send it to the old house? Every time my second uncle goes to collect eggs, he takes fifty cents more. Aren't those all filial piety?" said Mrs. Han.

"Give as much as you can." Chen Rou said.

Every year when food is distributed, 30 kilograms of food are also required to be given. However, now that people are not in the village, Chen Rou exchanged it for money and gave it to Han Dasao, asking Han Dasao to take it back together.

"Speaking of your broad mind, I admire you." Mrs. Han said after taking the money.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "I don't have a big heart."

"Is this yard really rented? It looks very similar to the old house." asked Mrs. Han.

"It looks like it from the outside, but not from the inside." Chen Rou said as she took her into the house to have a look.

Mrs. Han said, "It's spacious and comfortable. I wish it was our own home."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "It's ours now."

Mrs. Han was stunned for a moment, then she said in surprise, "Did you really buy it? When did it happen?"

"I'll tell you, sister-in-law. Don't tell anyone else." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"There's nothing to hide. Buying a house in the city is a good thing." Han Dasao said, "This courtyard is magnificent, and there are all these furnitures. I'm afraid this must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Not a small amount. Ninety percent of our family assets went in." Chen Rou said.

Mrs. Han hissed, but her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Where did you buy this cabinet?"

"Guobin's colleague's cousin works in the furniture factory and asked us to do this." Chen Rou said.

"Is it expensive? I want to make one too." Mrs. Han said enviously. She also has one at home, but it is very shabby and she doesn't even put money in it.

"I don't know. It was Guobin who bought it. I'll ask you when Guobin comes back." Chen Rou said.

"Okay." Mrs. Han nodded. Even if it is a little more expensive now, she can afford it!

This is probably what it feels like to have money in your hands.

"I've been here for such a long time, why haven't I seen Hanghang?" Mrs. Han came out to look at the yard, then she remembered and asked.

"I went to make up lessons." Chen Rou said.

"Do you still need to make up for the missed lessons?" Mrs. Han asked in surprise.

"There are only twenty students in their three classes who were selected to take extra classes." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Mrs. Han asked, "Are the results good or bad?"

"In the last exam, the eldest brother got first in the class, and they were third in the grade. They came back and said they were only one point away from second place." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Mrs. Han couldn't help but say, "If someone can be so good at studying in the city, then this university student quota must have been reserved, right?"

"It's still early, there's more to read later." Chen Rou said.

Han Dasao could tell she was being modest and couldn't help but envy her: "Second brother, you are getting better and better now."

The children are already so big and are getting younger and younger. The man in the family is also successful, the children are making progress in their studies, and there is also a bun shop. We have houses in the city and the countryside. Is there any life more enviable than this?

"Aren't you getting better and better, sister-in-law? If you calculate the money from the eggs alone this year, you must have an income of some money. And with these things now, you must have an income of at least hundreds of dollars." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"There aren't that many." Mrs. Han said with a smile.

Since the second wife moved to the city this year, she has drunk a lot of meat soup.

After calculating the accounts, she found that this year's income was much higher than in previous years. After she transported the remaining money at home into the city and went to her mother's house to collect more, plus the points earned from the team this year, she estimated that she could save about 120 or 130 yuan!

How can I not be happy?

Chen Rou stayed here and had lunch before sending her back, and also gave Miss Baodan a handful of sweet milk candy.

After returning to the village, Mrs. Han brought the money and brown sugar that Chen Rou had asked her to transfer to the old house.

"Didn't Guobin give you a little more? Now he has to go to work and ask you to collect things, so he makes a lot of money!" Han's mother said after taking the money.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Korean Lin said.

"Who can you send away with such a small amount of money?" Han's mother said, "I am his biological mother!"

Mrs. Han doesn't want to care about this old lady anymore.

Without saying a word, she went out of the house. When Dagui's wife, Shuanzi's wife and others came to her to inquire about the news, she complained to them: "My second uncle is not at home. He is on a long-distance bus. My second brother's wife is at home. This time he went there, he asked me to send money and a bag of brown sugar back. I sent it over, but the old lady said who could she send such a small amount of things to? Oh, if I were the second brother's wife, apart from the due filial piety, don't even think of asking for a grain of rice from me. If I give it, I won't get a single word of praise."

Dagui's wife and Shuanzi's wife were also aware of Old Lady Han's character. The whole village knew it and it was an old saying. They were not very interested in it and asked about the business in the city.

"Business is still good, but you don't know that there is meat wrapped in the white bread. The second brother's family gave it to me to eat, and I couldn't bear to eat it." said Mrs. Han.

"Have you eaten yet?" asked Dagui's wife.

"I ate it. I have never eaten such delicious buns in my life. Such shops are only opened in the city. If it were in our countryside, who would be willing to eat it like that?" said Mrs. Han.

"That's why they say city people have a good life and are rich," said Shuanzi's wife.

"With so many soybeans sent in, will anyone buy them?" asked Dagui's wife.

"The second sister's family doesn't sell soybeans. She makes soy milk in her bun shop. She keeps the soybeans for grinding into soy milk. With sugar added, it's very fragrant." said Mrs. Han.

Uncle Donkey in the village also boasted to others that Guobin had made great progress, that the yard in the city was very big and spacious, and that the buns in the bun shop were delicious. He ate one and drank a bowl of soy milk, etc.

Naturally, Han's father and mother heard it.

White flour meat buns with sweet soy milk...

Father Han couldn't help but smacking his lips.

Mother Han was so angry that her face turned blue: "She gave this to the old donkey and didn't even bring it back for us to eat. Everyone in this village still says she is filial!"

"Mom, when the villagers come over, it would be inappropriate for my second sister-in-law to not entertain them at all," Han Guolin said.

"What kind of treat are you offering? Why use white flour and meat buns? The old landlords in the past were not as wasteful as her!" Han's mother scolded.

Then he said, "The yard is so big, old man, do you want to live in it with me for a few days? We have never lived in the city before."

Father Han was moved when he heard this, but he was afraid that the second son's family would not agree: "Will the second son's family agree?"

"How dare she refuse? We are the second child's biological parents. If we go there, she will only be able to serve us!" Han's mother glared.

Han Guolin couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't go over and cause trouble. My second brother is not at home now, and my second sister-in-law is very busy. If you go over, my second sister-in-law won't have time to entertain you."

With his mother's personality, she was obviously a traitor in the family. How could his sister-in-law agree to it?

"What's the matter? Can't our biological parents go over and stay for a few days? It's like this now. Can we still count on them when they are too old to move?" said Han's mother.

"When you get old, I'll be here to take care of you." Korean Lin Dao.

Mother Han's expression eased and she said, "Dad and Mom know that you are filial, but we also want to go to the city and stay for a few days."

This wish is destined to never come true.

Because Chen's mother had gone there before her, Han's wife told her after she came back from delivering the goods the next day.

As they were packing up their things and preparing to go, Han's mother was so angry that she started scolding them on the spot: "This woman is married but she doesn't respect her parents-in-law, and she's trying so hard to entertain her parents. She's not a daughter-in-law, she's a thief from her husband's family, she's using her husband's family's things to support her parents!"

Mrs. Han didn't want to hear any more. "Old lady, please shut up. My second sister-in-law's mother went over to help take care of the grandchildren. My second uncle went out on a long-distance bus, and my third aunt wanted to sell boiled peanuts. My second sister-in-law was the only one left at home. She was too busy to handle it, so her mother went over to help!"

"What help do you need? I can help you if you want!" Han's mother said directly. How many good things would that old lady have to take away?

"Come on, when my second brother's wife and I had our baby, you didn't even go to see us. You can't be relied upon by anyone, and everyone knows what kind of person you are. If I let you go, I think my second brother's wife's house will be emptied out by you. Inviting you to go? It's almost like inviting a thief to go!" Han's sister-in-law didn't give her any face.

She didn't want to tear it, but the old lady was pushing her to do it.

What kind of person am I? Don’t you have any idea of ​​what I am like?
