The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 70 (Part 2)

After the meal, she helped clean up and went to her sister's house to sit for a while. Then she went on a walking date with Ludan.

The next day, Chen Rou asked Uncle Donkey to tell Mrs. Han to come to the city if she was free.

Mrs. Han was busy, so she came in a few days later. Her mother also came in with her.

However, Han's mother did not come. After arriving at the place, she got off the car quickly, carrying a chicken and a basket of eggs, and went straight to Han Guolin's side.

She knew the way and didn't need anyone to lead the way, after all, she had lived here for so long the last time.

Mrs. Han was full of complaints. She came over and said to Chen Rou, "We two really can't even smell her chicken smell!"

Chen Rou said: "Just wait for your two daughters-in-law to honor you."

When Mrs. Han heard this, she threw the old lady aside and said with a smile, "You have good taste. You picked a Magnolia for Donkey Egg. There is really no choice!"

Oh, her daughter-in-law is a teacher in the city. The whole village can only envy her. This is really an honor.

Chen Rou said: "That also depends on Donkey Egg's own excellence, otherwise I can't join him."

Mrs. Han laughed and said, "What's so great about him? If he hadn't been brought out by you and Uncle, he would still be farming in the countryside!"

Chen Rou was busy for a while, and after the people had passed, she said to Han Dasao, "I called you here today because I want to tell you something. Please listen."

"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Han.

"When I bought that house with Guobin, guess how much it cost?" Chen Rou asked.

"How much?" Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask.

"I only spent two hundred yuan at that time. Although I spent a lot of money later, it was still very cost-effective," said Chen Rou.

"That's true. If you go to buy it now, the price will definitely go up dramatically." said Mrs. Han.

"Isn't it the price that has increased? My fourth sister just bought it this year and spent more than a thousand yuan, which is more than five times what I paid back then. She renovated it herself and spent all our family savings on it." Chen Rou said.

"So expensive?" Mrs. Han said in shock.

"If you buy it now, it's not expensive. But later on, a house will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars." Chen Rou said.

"This...how is this possible? Even people with a monthly income of ten thousand yuan can't afford it." said Mrs. Han.

"Today's society is developing so fast, a family with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan is nothing special. Ten thousand is the minimum living standard, and one hundred thousand is considered rich." Chen Rou said.

Mrs. Han was stunned and said, "That's really unimaginable."

"The rent will increase every year, and we will have to pay a lot for rent every year. So I want to tell you, sister-in-law, that we should not build a house in the countryside for now. If we have the money, we can use it to buy a house for Tiedan and Ludan to settle down. They won't have to worry about not being able to afford it in the future. The two brothers will have to live in the city in the future, and they can't rent a house all their lives." Chen Rou said.

"But a house costs more than a thousand yuan, which is too expensive. Besides, I have to do the repairs myself, and all this costs money." Mrs. Han hesitated.

If someone else said this, Mrs. Han would definitely retort without thinking.

But this is the second sister's family, and I have never regretted listening to her.

We had told Tiedan and Ludan to move to the city and stop farming in the countryside, but they didn't listen. Now that they've been sent here, does Mrs. Han regret it? Yes, she does.

I regret not listening to my second brother earlier.

The second brother's family has lived in the city for so many years, so they must be aware of the city's development. Now that they are asked to buy a house, Mrs. Han also knows that it is for the good of Donkey and Tiedan.

But this money is really too much. The two brothers have to pay more than 2,000 yuan, just to buy a small yard and decorate it themselves.

"But we have to be able to buy it. It's not easy to buy a house. Third aunt does have one, but it's a bit shabby. I bought it before, but I won't give it to Tiedan and the others. I plan to leave it to my third uncle." Chen Rou said.

Mrs. Han was stunned and asked, "What are you leaving it for the third room?"

"When the two elders come in from now on, Third Aunt can also take care of her." Chen Rou said.

Otherwise, why would she buy the yard directly when her fourth sister didn't choose it? It was reserved for Han Guolin, and if he wanted it, she would sell it to him.

No matter where we live together in the future, she will take care of anything. She won’t be involved and has never thought about it.

Mrs. Han nodded and said, "That's good."

Speaking of this, Han's eldest sister-in-law was still very grateful to Chen Rou, her second brother's wife, and said, "I thought that the two elders would definitely rely on your eldest brother in the future."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Third Uncle is doing well here, it would be nice to bring the two elders over, they both like the city."

If they really stayed, the two elders would definitely be torn apart by her sister-in-law every day, which would be really ugly. Now Han Guobin is also a well-known figure.

Let the business of the third house be more stable, it would be good to bring the two elders in, since Han Guolin and Han Guoli are in the city.

Mrs. Han asked, "How is Third Uncle doing now?"

"Very good." Chen Rou nodded.

Han Guolin's meat stall business is very stable, Song Xiaoyu's oil shop business is also very good, and he also goes to get soy sauce and vinegar to sell together. Chen Rou is a businessman and knows the profit of that shop very well.

Together with Han Guolin, the couple can earn more than 300 yuan per month.

Because Song Xiaoyu had something to do and was no longer looking for trouble, the two brothers Han Si and Han Bo were very happy when they came over.

"Don't worry about their business. If you don't agree to Tiedan and Ludan buying a house, I will pay for them to buy it first." Chen Rou said.

"Why do you need to buy it for them? But I will have to spend all my money to do so." Mrs. Han sighed.

"It's right to trust me, you won't regret it later." Chen Rou said.

Mrs. Han took out the money. To be honest, the Ma family was really planning for their daughter, but they did show her one.

It's quite close to Old Ma's house, and Mrs. Han bought it for over 1,100 yuan. It's a bit old, but it can be lived in after some repairs.

The main reason is that it is close to my parents’ home, so if the couple has any problems, my parents’ home can help them.

Tiedan is still looking for it, but he is not in a hurry. He will buy it eventually.

After school started in September, the family became busy. The children all went to school and had no time to come and help her, so Chen Rou called Aunt He to come to the grocery store as temporary workers to help.

Han Guobin came back in late September, and when he came back, there was one more motorcycle shop in the city.

A motorcycle is sold at a high price of 1,700 to 1,800 yuan, but there are still people who come to buy it.

After returning at noon, Chen Rou stewed a pig's trotter and peanuts for dinner in the evening, and also cooked several other delicious dishes.

Let this rough guy clean up his mess. After this trip, his beard is covered with stubble and he looks very old.

After eating, Chen Rou personally gave him a bath and shaved him, but while shaving, the couple lay down on the kang.

After a while of rain hitting the banana leaves, Chen Rou asked softly, "Are you going out this year?"

"Don't go out. Just let the people in the convoy go out." Han Guobin said contentedly.

"Then help me at home." Chen Rou said.

"Okay, what benefits can you give me?" Han Guobin looked at her and said.

"I'll give you an extra chicken leg rice." Chen Rou scolded with a smile.

"Forget about the chicken leg rice, my wife can just compensate me." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou saw what he meant and reminded him, "It's 42 this year!"

"You're still young." Han Guobin lifted the quilt and covered him and his wife together.

Han Guobin's return was just in time. The shop at home was very busy and the grain had started to be harvested, so they needed more manpower.

But at this busy time, Mrs. Chen San came into the city crying that morning, with both eyes red and swollen.

"Third sister-in-law, I don't have time to listen to you now. You go and rest on the chair first." Chen Rou said while weighing eggs for the customers, looking at her.

Han Guobin also glanced at the third aunt, but didn't say anything as she was very busy.

He weighed grain for the customers. It was all newly harvested grain and everyone was rushing to buy it. He was busy from the time the shop opened in the morning until eleven o'clock, when things finally calmed down.

Mrs. Chen was in a daze for more than an hour. When Chen Rou had some free time, she poured her a glass of water and said, "Sister-in-law, why did you come to the city instead of helping at home?" And you were crying like this.

Mrs. Chen's eyes suddenly turned red again, and she was filled with grief: "Aunt, your third brother wants to divorce me. He actually wants to divorce me!"

"What happened? How can my third brother still ask you for a divorce? What did your niece do?" Chen Rou said indifferently.

This year, her third sister-in-law went back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, and in March, her niece from her mother's side came to Old Chen's house to help.

According to Mrs. Chen San, she came here to earn some money in preparation for getting married. She is already an eighteen-year-old girl.

The Chen family didn't want to have anything to do with her mother's family at all. Both her mother and her third brother refused and asked her to take her back quickly.
