The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 61 (Part 4)

Zhang Jiang didn't come for dinner. He helped Han Guolin pack up and move.

Han Guolin found a place, which was a very good house. It cost ten dollars a month, which was a bit expensive, but the advantage was that he didn't have to live with the host family, he could live independently.

Everyone is happy about this move.

Of course, buying things like coal stoves really cost a lot of money, and Song Xiaoyu felt sad about it for a long time.

Han Guoli came over to help clean up but didn't even look at her in a good manner.

Han Guoli came to her second sister-in-law and said with a bit of melancholy, "We moved out and became enemies."

"It's not a big deal. It doesn't matter whether she is an enemy or not. Just ignore her." Chen Rou said.

Han Guoli said: "I actually understand Xiaoyu's current state. When I didn't have a job before, I was also so sensitive, afraid that my in-laws would look down on me."

"So you're always the one rushing to do all the housework, right?" Chen Rou said.

"Of course you have to. It would be embarrassing if you just sit at home and don't work." Han Guoli said.

"But I heard from Yaoyao that the family has to wait until you get home to cook." Chen Rou said, "She is different from you. You are sensitive when you are not working and you want to do more to make yourself feel at ease. She is sensitive because she wants others to support her and spoil her. Except for her own man and son, no one else needs to obey her."

She naturally knew that Song Xiaoyu was afraid that people would look down on her because she had lost her job, but she had done what she should do, and if she still thought that way, what else could she do?

Han Guoli said: "I told her to set up a stall with me, but she was not willing to do so."

She felt that if they set up a stall, plus what Guolin earned, the couple would have an income of more than 150 yuan a month.

This is very high. If Han Guobin was still working in the Transportation Department, he would only be making a little over a hundred yuan a month. But here in the county, this is the highest salary.

She couldn't understand why her sister-in-law was unhappy.

"You have to be open-minded about this kind of thing. What others say will only have the opposite effect. Don't worry about it, Third Aunt." Chen Rou said, and asked her, "Aren't you planning to buy a shop to settle down? It's so gloomy today. It might rain in a few days. If it rains, you can't set up the stall."

Han Guoli shook her head: "Let's talk about it later."

Chen Rou didn't say much either.

In the evening, Zhang Yaoyao came home to watch TV. Zhang's mother had been sent back home by Zhang Jiang, and Han Guolin and his wife had also moved out. Finally, peace returned to the family.

Zhang Yaoyao was relieved, although after her grandmother was sent back, her mother beat her with a bamboo stick, leaving marks on her legs.

"Yaoyao, Chengzi, come here both of you." Chen Rou brought back two skirts that day and called the two sisters into the house.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yaoyao followed in.

"One for each of you, try them on." Chen Rou gave the skirts to the two of them.

"Me too?" Zhang Yaoyao said with shining eyes.

"This one is for you." Chen Rou smiled and asked them to exchange, both of them fit well.

After changing her skirt, Chen Rou asked Chengzi to go out and left Zhang Yaoyao to talk.

"Do you want to say anything when your mother beat you this time?" Chen Rou asked.

"Go ahead and hit me. It's not like I haven't been beaten before." Zhang Yaoyao said.

"Your mother's behavior was not good enough this time, but she had good intentions and her purpose was good. Your grandma has never treated your mother badly. Did you know that?" Chen Rou looked at her and said.

"I know, but she's my grandma, not my third aunt. I hate her. She always acts like an official's wife, asking me to do this and that!" said Zhang Yaoyao.

"Let's not talk about your third aunt for now, but your mother is your grandmother's daughter. When you were a child, you were sent back there. I heard that you gained a lot of weight after living there for more than a month. It shows that you were not treated unfairly." Chen Rou said.

Zhang Yaoyao pursed her lips.

"The one your grandma cares about the most and favors the most is your third uncle, so your mother brought him to the city to help him succeed. This is also a way to repay your grandma. Her starting point is gratitude, and she is willing to help her brothers and sisters. Without saying anything else, I just want to ask you, do you want to help each other with Chengzi and your brothers Hang and Zhou in the future?" Chen Rou said.

"Of course I thought about it." Zhang Yaoyao said with red eyes.

"That's right. You knew your grandmother's temper, but you still invited her over. I noticed that your mother wasn't in a good mood for a while. Did you do something wrong in this matter?" Chen Rou said.

"But I can't think of any other way. No one can cure a person like my third aunt unless I ask my grandma to come over." Zhang Yaoyao said with tears falling.

Chen Rou laughed, patted her head and said, "Second Aunt knows that you are smart. Second Aunt doesn't want to scold you. You are very smart in this matter, but you also have to understand the reason behind it, okay?"

"I know that my second aunt wanted to tell me that my mother was raised by my grandmother, so she wanted to repay her parents' family. But my mother did nothing wrong. It was my third aunt who was careless and made my mother suffer from being in a difficult situation. She has to be blamed by my grandmother and resented by us." Zhang Yaoyao said.

"Take this skirt home and wash it, then wear it to school the day after tomorrow. You will be the most beautiful girl in the class." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Zhang Yaoyao laughed, and even snorted, her face turned red, and she said, "It's so embarrassing."

"I, your second sister-in-law, have seen everything about you. Go pack your things and go back to apologize to your mother. It has not been easy for her over the years." Chen Rou said.

"Yeah." Zhang Yaoyao nodded, put on her skirt and went out.

Han Guobin and his daughter Chengzi were eavesdropping outside the door. When they heard the noise, they thought someone was going to knock on the door.

"Second uncle, Chengzi, why are you all here?" Zhang Yaoyao said with red eyes.

"The show "Calabash Brothers" is almost about to start. I'll come and call you." Orange said.

"Go and wait." Zhang Yaoyao said immediately.

The two sisters sat on the sofa watching TV, and Han Guobin opened the door and came in.

Chen Rou was mending clothes with needle and thread. When she saw him coming in, she said, "You dress in the same way as Old Four. You are so worn out. I wonder how you guys dress."

Han Guobin's heart was filled with tenderness at this moment. He didn't say anything, but just sat beside his wife and held her in his arms.

"What are you doing?" Chen Rou glanced at him.

"Wife, I heard everything you just said to Yaoyao." Han Guobin said with emotion.

Chen Rou glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

"No, I just think you've given me a good education." Han Guobin said, hugging her.

Chen Rou laughed and said, "No education, just explain the truth to her, she will understand."

Yaoyao, my niece, is very smart. She has known how to play tricks since she was young, but many children are like that and are very good at reading adults' expressions.

Not to mention Yaoyao, isn’t it the same for her fourth child?

When Chen Rou was little, she even despised herself, but when she grew up and went to school, she gradually understood the truth: adults should teach, but they should not use a ruler to measure children.

Although it is said that jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved, but that is a child, a living person, who is destined to have his own thoughts from the moment he is born.

If something is done wrong, parents must correct it, but they must also give children a certain amount of space.

Yaoyao defended her rights in this matter. In fact, she did nothing wrong. The thing she should be worried about is that she was ordered around by her third aunt but didn't dare to vent her anger.

However, my niece should not take things for granted. This is what Chen Rou wants to teach her.

This niece is a smart one, but Chen Rou doesn't want her to go down another path, so sometimes Chen Rou will teach her and explain things to her.

However, this was the first time that Han Guobin knew what his wife had done, so this rough man was deeply moved.

He wondered, how lucky was he to marry such a wife?

It is true that a good daughter-in-law brings prosperity to three generations.

"Get out of the way, the children are still outside." Chen Rou said hurriedly as the needle and thread in her hand were taken away by him and she was pushed onto the kang.

"I was told to lock the door. The Calabash Brothers show has started, so they are too busy." Han Guobin said.

"You old man, why don't you take it easy?" This was Chen Rou's voice.

"Wife, I love you so much." This is Han Guobin's voice.

"Ah...I...I'm so annoyed with you." His wife's soft voice.

"I think my wife also loves me." This is what he said shamelessly.

Outside the house, the children were very satisfied after watching Calabash Brothers. It was really great. Then they said, "Dad and Mom, why are you going to bed so early?"

"You guys go back. I'm going to lock the door too. Lao Er, send Yaoyao back." Han Hang said.

"Yaoyao, let's go." Han Zhou took the bicycle out and took Yaoyao back.

Brothers Han Si and Han Bo live quite far from here, so they don't come here. They usually come here on Sundays when they have holidays.

The other children from the neighbors on both sides also went back home, so the house was really lively.
