The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 60 (Part 1)

Even if you move to the city, you still have to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year.

Not only Chen Rou and Han Guobin, but Chen Sijie and An Dabang also closed their shops and returned home.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when the son-in-law brings gifts to the door.

Han Guobin and Chen Rou had breakfast at home and then drove here with their children.

Not only does the people in this village know that the car now belongs to Han Guobin, but Chen Rou's hometown also knows it.

That's so envious.

Being a millionaire is impressive enough, but the truck of Old Chen's son-in-law is as big as that of a millionaire.

I have to say that the little girl of the Chen family has married into a blessed family. She is destined to enjoy a life of luxury all her life. And look at how many good things she has brought with her.

Han Guobin brought a lot of gifts to the two elders this year.

There are good wine, good tea, good cigarettes, assorted candies and so on.

Chen's father and mother said there was no need to carry so many things over and it was too expensive, but they were really happy.

She entered the house to greet her daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters.

Chen's father and mother gave them pocket money, one dollar each, and let them go and play.

Father Chen talked with Han Guobin in the main room, mainly talking about the harvest, and also asked his son-in-law about his plans for next year.

Chen Rou and her mother went into the bedroom and handed her mother a red envelope: "This is a gift from Guo Bin and I. Please accept it."

"You brought so many things here, why do you need a red envelope?" said Chen's mother.

Chen Rou stuffed it into her hand and asked, "My third brother and his wife went back to their parents' home?"

"Yes." Mother Chen nodded and said, "Just wait and see. Your third brother will be angered and come back again this year."

Brother Chen San and Sister Chen San went back to their parents' home today.

Even if his mother-in-law is not that good, she is still her mother-in-law after all. She always says that her son-in-law has made a fortune, so he has to bring his wife to visit her.

Show filial piety to those who are due it, but don’t even think about showing filial piety beyond what is due.

But if his mother-in-law knew when to stop, she would not have sucked all the blood of her eldest daughter.

When I knew that my son-in-law had made a fortune and opened his own oil press, I was so enthusiastic.

After the enthusiasm was over, she naturally started to complain to her son-in-law about her poverty, how difficult life was at home, how her grandchildren couldn't even afford to go to school, etc.

What kind of person is Brother Chen San? If she wants to yell, just let her yell. After all, he is not the one who is unlucky during the New Year.

This routine has not changed over the years.

Perhaps she could see what kind of temper her son-in-law had, so his mother-in-law came directly over as well.

Borrow money.

I want to repair the brick house at home and make it more spacious so that we can live in it. After all, I have three brothers-in-law, and it is a bit crowded now.

But why would Brother Chen San lend money? Once the money is in the hands of his mother-in-law, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it would never come back.

Naturally, he also said he had no money.

Then during the Chinese New Year, his mother-in-law told him to leave, and he came back last year.

Chen Sansao couldn't keep him, so he went back first and Chen Sansao came back later. They had a meal there.

When he came back, Brother Chen San rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arms were covered with bruises. He gave his useless wife a look of contempt and wiped them with medicated wine without saying another word.

When going back to her parents' home this year, Chen's mother also felt that the result would be the same, and she would definitely come back first.

But when the third daughter-in-law wanted to go back, Chen's mother did not stop her. She was not afraid of being pinched or beaten. She just wanted to go back, and the better to go back as often as possible. Only then did she realize that her husband's family was simply a paradise.

So no one stopped us.

Sure enough, this year Third Brother Chen came back first on his own and met his Fourth Sister and her family on the way.

"Third uncle!" Brothers An Wen and An Wu, who were already grown men, shouted directly.

"Third brother, how come you meet us here?" said Chen Sijie.

"I just came back from your third sister-in-law's family." Brother Chen San said, "Let's go home."

Fourth Sister Chen also knew about her third sister-in-law's family affairs, so she didn't ask much and came here with An Dabang and her two sons.

This time, the Chen family became lively.

After some greetings, the men talked in the main room while the women went into the house and sat on the kang to gather together.

Father Chen was not very satisfied with his son and said, "You went back by yourself last year, and you will go back by yourself this year too."

"Dad, if my father-in-law could support the family like you and not let my mother-in-law do anything reckless, would I come back before I even had time to sit down?" said Brother Chen San.

His father-in-law is simply a Zhou Paopi, asking him openly and secretly how much money he has made? He has to give some to him as a filial gift.

The mother-in-law was even more direct than him, asking for money! If you don’t have money, bring it back to my house and don’t eat the food.

Who cares about that!

It is believed that eating the food at her house can make one ascend to heaven.

Brother Chen San went back directly because he was too lazy to stay there.

As for his wife, he doesn't care. He doesn't want to go back. She only cares about food and not beatings, but she is still so enthusiastic about going to her parents' home. She deserves to be pinched and beaten. She just needs to rub medicated wine on her when she comes back.

Father Chen was kind and said, "He is the elder after all."

"What elder? You think you can interfere with my oil press by relying on your status as an elder? That's wishful thinking!" Brother Chen San snorted.

"What?" Chen's mother heard this as she just came out to get the kettle.

"My mother-in-law wanted my second and third uncles to come over here to help, but I refused. How can I let those two idiots come? My oil press factory can't even be opened." said Brother Chen San.

If it's a good one, Brother Chen San will definitely be happy to lend a hand, and make money to go back and honor their mother, instead of always thinking about getting something from his son-in-law's family.

But what are those two brothers-in-law like? They are lazy and like to eat. In today's society, they still want to eat from the big pot by slacking off like before.

Sooner or later you will starve to death.

Of course, this was what Third Brother Chen thought in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud.

But he would not let these two brothers-in-law come over. No way. What's the difference between letting them come over and letting his mother-in-law come over? There's no need to do anything. Just let her make the decision.

But the oil press factory does not belong to him alone. His brother-in-law also has a share. He did not take a penny from the four oil presses at the back and directly became a shareholder.

Moreover, we can use his car to harvest goods in the future and split the profits equally. How could Brother Chen San refuse such a partner?

Now Brother Chen San is also a celebrity in the village because he has hired many retired old ladies and old men to come to the yard to peel peanuts.

He also wants some money from the kids. He will weigh the peanuts he peels. If he is quick, it is not a problem to earn 30 cents a day. There are also one or two people who can earn 50 cents.

Moreover, the payment for the peeling is made on the same day, so the money can be earned very quickly, which makes the villagers very happy.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t eat secretly or hide anything, otherwise you will not be allowed to come if you are discovered.

There are many little girls in the village who do not go to school and are sent by their families to come here to peel peanuts, so there is no shortage of people on Brother Chen's side.

Although the salary level is low, it is still income after all, and it would be a waste not to make money.

This may sound a bit far-fetched, but if Brother Chen San opens this oil press, everyone in the village will benefit from it.

Especially when it comes to the grain harvest here, Chen's father and mother would also help collect it, and then have someone transport it to the city for their youngest daughter.

So when they knew that the Chen family was making money, many people were jealous, but nothing really happened.

After all, the old Chen family is not the old Chen family of the past. The sons-in-law of the old Chen family are more promising than the others, especially the young son-in-law. He has connections in the police station. Who would want to offend him? He will be sent to jail directly!

It has to be said that when Han Guogang was pulled out of the bureau, it did intimidate quite a few people.

After all, it was a severe crackdown at the time and no one who went in came out, but Han Guogang came out safely.

Of course it was legitimate defense, but if there was no one around, how could we rescue them?

Seeing that her son had not done anything stupid, Chen's mother stopped talking and went into the house to continue chatting with her two daughters.

There is no need to worry about the younger daughter and she doesn’t have to worry about her life. The same goes for the older daughter.

I was a little nervous at first, but now I've calmed down.

Chen Sijie and An Dabang sell buns in the morning and dumplings at noon. They are really working hard.

The original plan was to simply sell buns, but the couple didn't have a second shop like Chen Rou, so they had nothing to do so they started selling dumplings and noodles at noon.

The business was average at first, but now it’s on the rise and there’s nothing to worry about.

In the words of Chen Sijie: "If I had known it was so easy, I wouldn't have wasted all these years."
