The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 59 (Part 3)
Zhou Zhen said that the old couple no longer had any say over her, but she didn't care.
She is a nurse herself, and has been separated from her parents-in-law for so many years. Does she still have to consider the moods of her parents-in-law?
Give the food you are supposed to give every year, and don’t worry about anything else.
So the topic quickly passed over her and turned to other things in the village.
For example, the strange thing that Li San and Zhang Si's families have now moved in together is really unheard of.
When Shuanzi's wife was halfway through washing, she came over and happened to hear this topic. She immediately became excited and started talking about how Li San's wife was having an affair with someone else, and that they were caught in the corn field.
And he and that guy came out from the small bamboo forest at the entrance of the village late at night.
There are really a lot of such things happening in the village.
But with everyone's help, the house was cleaned inside and out in one morning.
The kang was heated up, so Chen Rou asked them all to stay for lunch. She prepared a table for Han Guobin and the children, and she brought them together to prepare a table specifically for the women.
We ate here together, it was quite lively.
After eating, I didn’t leave any for them.
Mrs. Han helped her pack up and said with a curled lip, "It's a good thing that Second Uncle helped Third Uncle find a pork business. Dagui's wife and Shuanzi's wife came to help pack up, but she didn't even come."
The one she was referring to was Song Xiaoyu.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. I can save a meal." Chen Rou said.
"Second brother's wife, what do you think about letting Tiedan and his wife go to the city?" said Mrs. Han.
Chen Rou looked at her: "Why do you say that suddenly? I told you to let Tiedan and the others go out, but you were planning to keep them in the village."
"Didn't I turn around at that time?" Mrs. Han sighed.
It was helpless. She was really afraid of being poor. She always felt that she had land in the village and could live a safe life. But no matter what happened, she could not even have a bite to eat.
So I wanted to stay in the village.
But isn’t this year stimulated by the third room?
They patted their butts and left, still hoping to stay in the big house in the village, but the big house refused to serve them!
This is what Mrs. Han thought. She and Brother Han stayed in the village to give the children a way out. If they couldn't make it outside in the future, they could come back. So she wanted the children to go out and not be looked down upon by the third wife!
"I still have a shop. Sister-in-law, if you are really willing to let Tiedan and the others go, they both have the same idea. So let them look after the shop for me. I will give them 100 yuan a month." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"One...one hundred?" Mrs. Han was stunned.
"Don't tell anyone." Chen Rou nodded.
"This...this won't be a loss, right?" Mrs. Han hesitated.
"I plan to turn that shop into a grain and oil shop, selling grain, peanut oil, and soybean oil. If there is too much grain, people won't be able to transport it, and Tiedan will have to help deliver it, which is also laborious." Chen Rou said.
"What's there to be afraid of if he has to work hard? Tiedan doesn't have that much strength, but he has a lot of strength, just like his father!" Mrs. Han said quickly.
"Then sister-in-law, when you go back, please talk to the couple. If they want to rent a house, they have to find one themselves. I can't accommodate them there." Chen Rou said.
"I know that." Mrs. Han nodded and said, "Why didn't I hear you talk about this shop before?"
"It looked good recently, so I bought it." Chen Rou said.
"You've got everything, buying a car and a shop. Second brother's wife," said Mrs. Han.
"We still have a lot of foreign debts to pay off. We will have to work hard to make money to pay them off in the future." Chen Rou said.
"How bold! The car cost only 8,000 yuan, and he just bought it." said Mrs. Han.
"It can be used for carrying cargo or something." Chen Rou said.
Ever since he bought this truck, it has been very busy. All the peanuts and soybeans that could be harvested from the surrounding area were collected by Han Guobin.
Her mother's house is full of these.
Her husband Guobin also went to the glass factory and ordered a lot of thick glass bottles, which were specifically used to transport oil.
I also ordered a batch of less thick ones to use for oil sales.
Ask people to remember to bring the oil bottle next time they come to buy, otherwise we will charge for the glass bottle.
Because Han Guobin bought back so many peanuts and soybeans, her grocery store has basically never been out of supply of grain and oil until the end of this year, and business is extremely good.
Next year, her husband Guobin plans to go to the surrounding counties to collect the crops. By then, whether it is grain or peanuts and soybeans, they will all be collected together.
Well, Chen Rou had long had the idea of opening a grain and oil shop.
It just so happened that Han's sister-in-law was provoked by the third wife. The third wife was clearly bullying the first wife for staying in the village all her life, and she insisted on forcing the child to go out.
But Chen Rou will not treat him unfairly.
"By the way, where is Donkey Egg?" Chen Rou asked.
"It will definitely be enough to let Tiedan and his wife go to that shop," said Mrs. Han.
"Do you want to let Ludan learn to drive from his uncle? He is eighteen this year, and will be nineteen after the new year. He can take the driving test." Chen Rou said.
Mrs. Han was stunned at first, then she became very excited: "Let...let Donkey learn to drive from his second uncle and be a driver?"
"Wait until he gets the hang of it, and then let him be a driver to help his second uncle. What do you think, sister-in-law?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.
"Is there any need to say this?" Mrs. Han said hurriedly.
"Then you can go back and talk to those two brothers. There's no need to rush about what's happening after the New Year," Chen Rou said.
Mrs. Han went home and told her about it.
Tiedan's wife was naturally happy to go to the city.
Even Tiedan was a little hesitant: "Mom, we are not in the village. There are so many fields at home. Can you and Dad handle it?"
"It's just about working harder. You're still young and can still work for a few more years. When the contract period is up, you can contract less. You've all been very good to me. It's your uncle and aunt who are taking care of their nephew. Be smart and do your job well when you go there. If I ask your aunt, even if it's a penny short, you two will have to leave the grain and oil shop alone. Go back to the village and work on your own and don't embarrass me!" said Mrs. Han.
The latter words were directed at Tiedan and Tiedan's wife.
Mrs. Han is very smart. Letting her manage the money is something that could easily lead to problems. She must not allow her to have any inappropriate thoughts. She must nip that in the bud from the beginning!
"Mom, we would never do that kind of thing, so please don't embarrass us." Tiedan said.
"Don't worry, mom. I'm sure every penny will be spared for Second Aunt." Tiedan's wife also said hurriedly.
"Come in with me." Mrs. Han looked at her, turned around and went into the house.
Tiedan's wife was a little afraid of her powerful mother-in-law, so she followed her into the house.
"Now our family has not been divided. When you go to the city, except for the expenses of food and rent, you have to bring the rest of the money back home and I will keep it." said Mrs. Han.
"It's what we should do." Tiedan's wife said hurriedly.
"Your second aunt said that you should go over and take care of the shop, and she will give you 100 yuan a month." said Han Dasao.
"One...one hundred yuan?" Tiedan's wife widened her eyes.
"Excluding rent and food expenses, you take home 60 yuan a month, and you can do with the remaining 40 yuan," continued Mrs. Han.
"Really?" Tiedan's wife couldn't help but ask.
At forty dollars a month, she would definitely be able to save some!
"I'll keep it for you as your private savings, but not a penny can be missing from your second aunt's account book. You have to calculate clearly before closing the store how much money you collect and how much goods you sell every day. No matter if you collect the wrong amount or something else, if there is less, you have to make up for it from your private savings!" said Mrs. Han.
"Don't worry, mom. Although I have only studied for two years, I will still do the math." Tiedan's wife said quickly.
"From now on, your second uncle will start to receive salary, and you have to take his money home. I have applied for the house foundation for you, and I will save the money you send back. When it is enough, I will use it to build a house for you. I will not be that evil mother-in-law who mistreats you daughters-in-law." said Mrs. Han.
Tiedan's wife was deeply moved. Although her mother-in-law was powerful, to be honest, when she washed dishes in winter, her mother-in-law always asked her to pour hot water to neutralize the water. At the dinner table, she was never asked to drink plain porridge. She ate whatever the whole family ate.
Don't think she's exaggerating. Her eldest sister's in-laws' family is like that. While others eat solid food, her eldest sister can only drink liquid food.
"But if you dare to do anything to embarrass me when you go to the city, I will never forgive you. Remember this." said Mrs. Han.
"Don't worry, mom. Tiedan and I will definitely live up to the salary given by Second Aunt!" said Tiedan's wife.
