The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 66 (Part 4)

And Mrs. Han was thoughtful. She had already let the dough rise for her yesterday, so when Chen Rou came back today she could steam buns and make dumplings directly.

When Mrs. Han came over with a few pieces of homemade tofu, Chen Rou was rolling out dough. Mrs. Han gave her a lot of dough, some of which she used to make steamed buns, and the rest she used to make dumplings.

Seeing her sister-in-law coming over, Chen Rou smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please give me some noodles. I'll have something to do when I come back."

"That's nothing." Mrs. Han put the tofu away, took the knife board and started to help her chop the stuffing, saying, "I see that the two brothers have brought back a lot of extra wages?"

"It's busy at the end of the year, so we give them subsidies." Chen Rou said.

Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Why should we give any subsidies? Our wages are already high on weekdays."

"I heard from Chengzi that the old lady scolded you?" Chen Rou said.

"Even if she doesn't think it's unlucky during the Chinese New Year, I do!" Han Dasao said as she chopped the stuffing: "You don't know, when the old lady came back, the whole village praised her. If you didn't know, you would really think that my third brother's wife was a fairy who came down to earth!"

Han's mother lived in the city for such a long time, she was really comfortable. Her daughter-in-law bought her two sets of clothes and even gave her a new pair of shoes. How could Han's mother not be proud?

This time when they returned to the village, they immediately began to spread the news.

If it weren't for what happened with Mrs. Han, the villagers would definitely have praised him, but all his secrets were exposed by Mrs. Han.

Now, someone asked Han's mother: "Does Guolin really want to divorce his wife?"

Even though Han's mother had lived there for so long, she actually didn't know about this. Once she knew that it was the eldest lady who was making up rumors, could she still let it go?

Naturally, they came to scold me.

But Han's sister-in-law was not afraid of her at all. She asked her to go back and ask her uncle and Song Xiaoyu if they wanted to get a divorce!

"My third sister-in-law will remember you." Chen Rou said as she rolled out the dough skillfully.

"Remember it if you want. With her personality, if you do her a thousand good things, she will be dissatisfied with one bad thing. Why should I worry about her?" Han Dasao disagreed: "Let her take all the good things, but I have to clean up her mess. I can't let her do whatever she wants."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Didn't Third Uncle go back to the village to buy mutton from Uncle Guoming? She came to me and asked me to ask the truck to bring it in, but I declined and said I didn't have time, so she asked Third Uncle to go by himself."

"The truck carries so much goods every time, so where do you find the time to help her load mutton? Just run your own business. You have to wait for people to deliver the goods to your door every day. She makes money so easily!" Mrs. Han snorted coldly.

"But Uncle Guoming's mutton is really delicious, and Guobin enjoys it very much." Chen Rou said.

"I ordered a leg of lamb, it was really delicious." Mrs. Han said with a smile.

"I brought back a lot of meat. Sister-in-law, are you prepared? Take some back later." Chen Rou said.

"Why would I need that? I prepared five pounds of good meat, chopped seven or eight ribs, and saved a basket of eggs for eating. I've never had such a good year in my life." Mrs. Han said happily.

Now that her family's conditions are getting better and better, she is willing to spend money. For example, when a pig was just slaughtered and sold in South Korea, she went there to buy some to eat during the New Year.

Chen Rou smiled and started to work with Mrs. Han.

Han Guobin from the other end of the old house sent over a bottle of wine, as well as other supplies, including two kilograms of fat meat that he brought back specially for the two elders to celebrate the New Year.

Han's mother said with a gloomy face: "Tell your wife not to gossip around in the village like Tiedan's mother did!"

Han Guobin ignored his mother and left his things behind. He then said, "Dad, I'm going to sit at the village party secretary's house first."

"Guolin, go with your second brother." Han's father nodded first, then called his youngest son.

Han Guolin nodded: "I just wanted to go over and sit with my second brother."

Han Guobin took him along and said to him, "We have to visit Guoming during the New Year."

"I know." Han Guolin nodded.

The two brothers went to the village party secretary's house together.

Song Xiaoyu didn't like to go out of the old house, because when she came back, she found out that the news had spread all over the village.

It was her eldest sister-in-law who spread the news, and the whole village knew that she almost divorced Guolin, which was very embarrassing.

"Xiaoyu, come and help. We're going to have dumplings tonight." Han's mother went into the kitchen to help, and then she called her daughter-in-law.

Song Xiaoyu naturally came to help, and couldn't help complaining: "I don't know how I offended my sister-in-law. No one in the village knew that Guo Lin and I had a conflict. They wanted to cover it up, but she spread it to everyone, making it seem as if she and my brother had never had a quarrel!"

"I've scolded that bitch, but she's just a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. Don't bother with her. It's better for you and the third child to be living well." Han's mother comforted him.

Song Xiaoyu said aggrievedly: "Mom, don't think I have an easy time in the city. I also want to help Guolin, but I can't find a suitable job. Why does my sister-in-law say such harsh things?"

"Mom knows." Han's mother said. Since she came to the city, her daughter-in-law's performance has been impeccable.

Song Xiaoyu said as she cut the meat: "This is my eldest sister-in-law, and she doesn't even have this much magnanimity. Are you blaming me for bringing you to the city and letting Dad go to her place to eat? I asked Dad to bring food over, and she didn't eat a single extra grain of rice!"

Mother Han snorted, "I also asked your father, and he said he took it over."

I should have known that they were both unreliable. The eldest father-in-law had to look at her mood every time he brought food to eat for a few days, not to mention the one from the second wife.

She had been living in the city for a while, but he had never visited her, let alone asked her to live in his house.

But how long has the old lady from Old Chen’s family lived in the city since she moved there?

Her son married her, not as a son-in-law, and he still has to support her parents!

"No one is reliable. From now on, the old man and I will have to go to the city and live with you." said Han's mother.

The knife Song Xiaoyu was using to cut meat trembled and she almost cut her hand!

"It's just that our house is too small, otherwise I would have brought you and dad to the city this time." Song Xiaoyu said with her smile stiffening.

"The house is a little small. You and the third child should save up and try to buy a bigger house," said Han's mother.

"How can it be that easy? The two brothers are studying, and they have tuition fees and other expenses every semester. They are also clamoring to buy a color TV. It takes so much money to buy a house. I don't know how long it will take to save up enough money. But my second brother and his wife have a really big yard, and it's their own." Song Xiaoyu said.

"Save up. If you want to buy one later, your father and I have saved some money and can give it to you. Try to buy a big one." Han's mother said.

Song Xiaoyu looked much better after hearing this, and said, "How can I use your money? Guolin and I will work hard to buy a big yard in the future. When the time comes, we will definitely take you to live in the city, so that everyone in the village will envy you."

Mother Han was very happy. She talked about this with Father Han at night and said, "Among these three daughters-in-law, the third daughter-in-law is the most filial. She always wants to buy a big yard in the city so that she can take us to the city and make the people in the village envy us."

"The third family is very thoughtful." Han's father actually wanted to live in the city, but he had never lived in the city and had lived in the countryside all his life.

"But a big courtyard in the city is not cheap. If Guolin and Xiaoyu really buy it, we will have to use our money to support them. It's not easy for them, and they will live with the third child in the future, so we don't have any room for money." Han's mother said.

"Yeah." Han's father had no objection. It wasn't easy for his son, so it was his parents' duty to help out.
