The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 68 (Part 1)

Divorce is a word that has appeared frequently since the 1980s.

Before this, even for trendy and fashionable city dwellers, it was difficult to find two or three such houses among a hundred households, but now you can hear them every few days.

Among ten divorces, at least eight are caused by men's inability to control themselves.

During the meal, Brother Chen warned his two brothers-in-law, "Now that things are so chaotic outside, I think both of your families are getting better and better, but don't learn those customs outside, otherwise I will be the first to disagree!"

"It's New Year's Day, what are you talking about at the dinner table? Do you want to get beaten?" Chen's mother glared at him.

"Mom, Third Brother is also supporting me and Fourth Sister. You two should listen carefully. My Third Brother is rich now. He is the iron shield and backing of Fourth Sister and me. If you dare to go out, you don't have to come back. Some mistakes can be made, but some mistakes, if made, will be a lifelong thing and there is no turning back!" Chen Rou echoed.

Sister Chen nodded and looked at An Dabang and said, "Did you hear everything?"

An Dabang and Han Guobin looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

However, we have to admit that today's society has really changed.

But they both have similar personalities and don't want to mess up their own happy family.

The two brothers-in-law wanted to make promises, but Fourth Sister Chen waved her hand and said, "No need to make promises. I heard from the neighbors that promises sound good. You should still do what you have to do after you go out. It depends on how you do it in the future."

"That's right." Chen Rou said.

"You're getting more and more addicted to it, aren't you? You even say it in front of the children!" Mother Chen was angry.

"Mom, don't be angry. The children are so old now, they can understand it. There is no need to hide it from them." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"Nonsense." Chen's father said.

"Dad, don't make a mistake. If you make a mistake, we will all follow my mom." The second son Han Zhou said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, his attitude was very clear, and the others also looked at their father.

Han Guobin glanced at them calmly and said, "Let's eat!"

"Eat, eat." Brother Chen San also quickly greeted his nephews and nieces.

But this time, Brother Chen San really wanted to give them a warning, because there were too many people who wanted to find new people after getting rich.

For example, there was a man in the town who bought goods from him. He probably made some money, but he was having an affair with a young girl outside. His oil shop was even burned down by his wife. Isn't that scary?

Han Guobin and An Dabang had a drink and lunch with Chen Sange and Chen's father, and stayed for a while before going back.

Han Guoli and Zhang Jiang brought Zhang Haohao and Zhang Yaoyao to the countryside.

Chen Rou went to make malted milk, one cup for each person, and said with a smile, "But I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

"That's nothing." Zhang Jiang smiled.

"Second sister-in-law, I heard from my third brother's wife that you want to supply her with goods and let her open an oil shop?" Han Guoli asked.

"It's not me who said that, it's your second brother." Chen Rou said.

Han Guoli said, "That's the same." She was quite touched and said, "Xiaoyu now has something to do, and she will be quiet in the future."

"I don't know how the business is going yet." Chen Rou said.

"Find a shop in a good location, it won't be too bad anyway." Han Guoli said.

"If you work hard, you won't be too bad. When you make money in the future, you can buy a big yard and bring your parents over to live with you." Chen Rou said.

Han Guoli nodded and said, "That's as it should be. I see that mother really likes living in the city."

The last time Han's mother went there, Han Guoli, as her daughter, naturally went to see her and brought a lot of things with her.

Han Guobin asked Zhang Jiang, "I heard Yaoyao say last time that you have become the director of your factory?"

"I'm just a small director. I've been working here for half my life, and they just promoted me." Zhang Jiang said with a smile.

There is no man who doesn't like to get promoted. Promotion means salary increase. His current salary is 90 yuan.

Of course, if compared with his wife's stall, he is definitely not as good. When his wife set up a stall, she could earn one or two hundred yuan a month. In addition, when she helped to make dumplings, she could earn more than two hundred yuan a month, which made him better than her.

But Zhang Jiang didn't care. After all, his salary was not low.

Han Guobin asked his sister, "The family should have saved some money by now. The third child is going to look for one this year. Do you want to join him in finding one?"

"What's the use? It's fine to set up a stall. A shop is so expensive." Han Guoli said.

"Buy one. How much does a shop cost? We can afford it now. You can't sell when it rains or snows. If you open a shop earlier, the money you earn will be enough for you to buy a shop." Zhang Jiang said.

Han Guoli was stunned. It was the first time she heard this statement, but it seemed to make some sense?

Chen Rou smiled and said, "If I had asked you, Third Aunt, to buy it back then, you would have earned back the money you put into the shop by now."

Han Guoli thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's buy one together with Guolin this year?"

"I should have bought it earlier." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou also agreed. Whether it was Han Guoli or Han Guolin, she hoped for the best for them.

After all, when the two elders move to the city in the future, we will have to rely on them, and it will definitely be a good thing if both families have good financial conditions.

When it was time to go back, Zhang Yaoyao said, "I want to stay in the village. I want to sleep with Chengzi!"

Zhang Yaoyao stayed, Zhang Jiang took Han Guoli back, and Zhang Haohao followed on his own bicycle, riding two bicycles in total.

However, they couldn't stay in the village for long, so Chen Rou stayed for one more day. On the fourth day of the New Year, the family returned to the city.

Ma Yuling also said: "I thought you should have come back yesterday. The pork was almost thawed in the water."

Chen Rou said, "Don't cook today. Bring Chengzi's godfather and Chen Bing over here to hang out."

Ma Yuling was naturally happy to do so and went back to get a lot of meat. Chen Rou said, "Look how much I have saved. You didn't even have to go out of your way to get it."

Chen Rou has frozen pork ribs and pork belly, enough to last until the tenth day of the first lunar month.

While the two were busy in the kitchen, Han Guobin went to visit a few shops and came back to watch TV with the children.

As for Public Security Chen, he hasn't gotten off work yet. Even though it's Chinese New Year, he still has to go to get off work and come back home as usual.

Chen Rou and Ma Yuling cooked a lot of delicious dishes together, including a pot of pork ribs and pork belly stewed with soy sauce and mushrooms. Other main dishes were also prepared. They were just waiting for Chen Gongan to come back and then started cooking. They would be delicious when they were served hot on the table.

Chen Rou and Ma Yuling started making dumplings. Ma Yuling said, "I'll take you to a nice place to have some fun later."

"Mahjong parlor?" Chen Rou asked.

Ma Yuling was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

"I haven't asked you yet, why did you bring the fourth brother with you when you went to that place?" Chen Rou said.

"What? How could I possibly bring Lao Si there? I ran into Lao Si when I went there." Ma Yuling said.

"Huh?" Chen Rou was stunned.

Ma Yuling couldn't help but look at her and asked, "You two don't know?"

"Old Four said we know?" Chen Rou's face darkened.

"Wait until the New Year is over and clean up." Ma Yuling nodded and said, "I ran into him and asked him why he went there. At first I thought he went there by chance, but then I saw that he was quite familiar with the place, so I asked him, and he said you all know!"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Chen Rou couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't expect him to lie. The brat deserves a lesson." Ma Yuling said.

She went to play cards and forgot about it after the game. She would never mention it specifically. The fourth brother said that his parents knew about it.

Chen Rou sneered: "It seems that I let something slip during the New Year!"

They suppressed it for the time being, and when Chen Gongan came back, the two families gathered together to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The naughty boy Han Laosi would glance at his mother and his aunt Ling from time to time.

Ma Yuling knew he was going to be beaten, so she smiled and gave him a piece of pork ribs, saying, "Eat more, so you can be tough and take the beating."

Han Laosi immediately looked towards his mother, but Chen Rou acted as if she didn't see anything and just ate her own food, asking Chen Gongan and Chen Bing to eat more.

Han Laosi then breathed a sigh of relief and ate his rice in big mouthfuls. After he finished eating, he waited.

"This winter melon soup is delicious. Fourth Brother, have some more soup." Chen Rou said.

When Han Lao Si heard his mother's tone, which was no different from usual, he gave her a flattering smile and said, "Mom, I'll do it myself."

"Okay, you do it yourself." Chen Rou nodded. Don't show your displeasure to the child while eating, and don't let him know that you are going to hit him, as this will affect his appetite.

This meal was very satisfying.

After dinner, the table was left to the eldest, second oldest and Chen Bing to clean.

Chen Bing has only just started doing housework now; he has never done it before.

Han Laosi was watching TV in the house, and he started to urge Ma Yuling, saying, "Auntie Ling, I see your door is not locked, go and lock it quickly, don't let the house get robbed if you don't have a dog."

"Chengzi, go and have a look. I remember I locked it." Ma Yuling said lazily, sitting still.

Han Cheng ran out to take a look, then came back and said, "Old Four, which eye of yours saw that it was unlocked? It's locked."

Han Laosi stopped talking.

Ma Yuling laughed and said to Chen Rou, "We don't have mahjong in our county. Next time I'm free, I'll go to the provincial capital and bring back a set. Then we can play mahjong together."

"It's not good to gamble in groups." Chen Gongan glanced at her and said.

"This is not a gambling gathering, this is called a family gathering, do you understand?" said Ma Yuling.

"I've never played mahjong and I don't know how to play. It's useless to buy it. There's no one at home who can play it." Chen Rou said.

Han Laosi wanted to raise his hand and say that he knew how to do it and he could teach them.
