The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 76 (Part 3)

The second oldest child, Han Zhou, will also be taking the high school entrance exam this year. Although the study workload is heavy, he is not one to sit idle.

So, he gave himself a day off today and went with his sister and Yaoyao to play table tennis, which is an indoor game.

I didn't come back until after four o'clock. At that time, Han Guobin was watching over the grocery store, but it closed early, usually at five o'clock and went home.

Chen Rou went home to cook first and said to Yaoyao, "Shall we have dinner at home today?"

"Okay." Zhang Yaoyao nodded with a smile and said to Han Zhou, "Brother Zhou, can you go to the shop and tell my mom?"

Han Zhou looked at his watch and said, "Later, I'll go pick up my dad and talk to my aunt."

When it was almost time, he rode his bike out and came to the shop to tell his aunt that there was no need to cook Yaoyao's rice tonight, as she would eat at home.

"She comes to our house to eat from time to time. This little girl seems to dislike the food at home!" Han Guoli said.

"What's the big deal?" Han Zhou waved his hand. "Aunt, I'm going to go pick up my dad first."

"Go ahead." Han Guoli nodded.

Han Zhou came to the shop and saw his father preparing to pack up and go home. He arrived at the perfect time.

After helping his father clean up, the father and son went home for dinner.

Yaoyao and Chengzi were watching TV, and she said to her brother Zhou with a smile, "Did my mother scold me?"

"Yeah, you little girl must be dissatisfied with the food at home." Han Zhou said.

Yaoyao smiled and said, "Not really, my mom's cooking is pretty good, but I still prefer to eat here."

Han Guoli and Zhang Jiang's financial situation has really improved over the years. Han Guoli stopped setting up a street stall last year and opened a shop just like Song Xiaoyu.

Business is better than when she set up a stall, because then she only sold some grains and cereals. But now, the shop not only has grains and cereals, but also soy sauce, vinegar, oil and other supplies, which are the same as Song Xiaoyu's.

Business is extremely good.

There is also the salary of the director of the Zhangjiang factory and the salary from the steamed bun shop, which is a huge monthly income, so Han Guoli really doesn't save too much.

I am willing to spend money on three meals a day.

However, there are not many people at home now. Zhang Haohao and his master's family moved to the provincial capital just after the seventh day of the Chinese New Year this year. They can't take many orders in the county and can only come back for one or two days a month.

There are only three of them at home, and there is no atmosphere for dining.

Of course, the dishes here are really rich and much better than those in her home.

It will be ready to eat in a short while. Yaoyao couldn't help but ask, "Where's Little Fourth?"

"Don't worry about him, just eat at his godfather's place." Han Cheng said.

"Isn't his godfather alone? How can he have anything delicious to eat?" Yaoyao said.

"You are wrong. His godfather's house is very big and he has a nanny. I went there to eat once and the food he cooked was really delicious." Han Cheng said.

"I was wondering why the fourth child didn't come back when there were so many dishes at home." Yaoyao said, "Second sister-in-law, this pig's head is so delicious!"

"There's still soup in the pot. Remember to have another bowl later." Chen Rou said.

"Yeah." Yaoyao nodded.

The whole family gathered together to eat, and soon Ma Yuling from next door came over.

Chen Rou asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, you guys eat." Ma Yuling sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Chen Rou still pays attention to her figure. A bowl of rice, some meat and vegetable dishes, and half a bowl of soup is enough.

Han Guobin wanted her to eat more, "Why do you always eat so little?"

"It's not a small amount. You should eat more." Chen Rou said, wiping her mouth and came over to sit with Ma Yuling. She said, "What's going on? I just heard you and Chen Gongan arguing?"

"That stinky man makes me so mad." Ma Yuling complained.

"What's wrong?" Chen Rou asked.

"Didn't their bureau have a case last time where not only did the adopted son favor boys over girls, but he also didn't take care of the elderly?" Ma Yuling said.

"Yeah." Chen Rou heard her say "What's wrong?"

"That damn son is a good-for-nothing. He was raised by the old lady, and then married off. But he refused to treat his wife's illness, and she died. Now he has married another one, and he doesn't want to support the old lady anymore. He even drove out his ex-wife's daughter, saying that she should take care of her grandmother." Ma Yuling said.

Chen Rou didn't know what to say. There were some people in this world who did things worse than animals.

"Then why are you arguing about this?" Chen Rou asked.

"That stinky man sponsored his two granddaughters without telling me. He didn't even tell me about the salary increase this year. He gave all the salary increase to his two granddaughters!" Ma Yuling said angrily.

"He did the wrong thing." Chen Rou frowned.

"That's right. He raised his salary by 20 yuan, which is not a big deal for me. I would not refuse his sponsorship. But why did he hide it from me? If I hadn't heard it from others, I would have known nothing. How could I not argue with him?" Ma Yuling said.

"Then what did he say?" Chen Rou said.

"He said he was afraid that I would say something bad about him and he wouldn't agree, so he didn't tell me. He also told me not to care about that small amount of money. I'm almost mad at this stupid man!" said Ma Yuling.

She also went to see the grandparents and grandchildren. They were also quite pitiful. There was nothing wrong with doing a little good. Would Ma Yuling see it in her eyes if she sponsored them with 20 yuan a month? How much could Ma Yuling earn a month? After splitting it with Chen Rou, she could earn about a thousand yuan!

Naturally, she wouldn't mind using the twenty yuan to do good deeds. The two grandparents and grandchildren are eight years old and over sixty years old, the young one is very young and the old one is very old, so there is really no big deal in lending a helping hand.

But the key point was her husband's attitude, which made her very dissatisfied. Not only did he think so narrow-mindedly of her, but he also didn't apologize or admit his mistake after she found out, and even asked her to stop making trouble.

How could she not make trouble with him?

"Think about it more positively. These men are sometimes so self-righteous. If you keep acting this way, you'll have two more wrinkles tomorrow morning." Chen Rou said.

Ma Yuling sighed and said, "If I aged prematurely, it must be because he made me angry. How could he not be gentle and considerate at all?"

"All the same." Chen Rou said calmly.

"How can they be the same? How caring is Chengzi's father to you? If the one in my family treated me half as well as Chengzi's father treats you, I would also be smiling secretly." Ma Yuling said.

"That's enough. Didn't you see that the last time I went to your house to borrow soy sauce, you two forgot to close the door, and he even held you in his arms and treated you like a baby." Chen Rou waved her hand.

"Puchi." Yaoyao, who was drinking soup over there, pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip. When she heard this sentence, she burst out laughing.

"Sister Yaoyao, why are you reacting so strongly? Fortunately, it didn't splash on me." Han Cheng said.

Ma Yuling's face turned red and she pinched Chen Rou lightly, "Can't you keep your voice down? The children are here."

"You've made it seem like you two have no feelings for each other, so I just told you what I saw." Chen Rou said calmly.

Although Chen Bing is not young anymore, Chen Gongan and Ma Yuling have a good relationship. It's just that they have similar tempers and are both quite old.

Of course, ever since he learned those coaxing tricks from Chen Rou last time, they rarely quarreled, but they still quarreled from time to time, and Chen Rou was used to it.

So I didn't pay any attention to them when I heard them, and only asked when I saw her coming over.

But it was indeed wrong for Chen Gongan to do this. No matter how much money it was, he should have confessed before making this decision.

As the mistress of the house, she had to hear such things from other people, so it was no wonder that Ma Yuling was unhappy.

"Come to think of it, is there no way to punish that bastard?" Chen Rou said.

"What else can we do? We've warned him, but there's nothing we can do as he insists he has no money. When the police come over, he acts honestly, but when they leave, he goes back to his old ways," said Ma Yuling.

That's why her husband finally decided to support the two of them, using his increased salary to support them.

Twenty yuan a month is enough for basic living.

She knew her man, and he was upset and had good intentions, but she just cared that he didn't tell her.

He also said he was afraid she wouldn't agree!

In his heart, is she so stingy?

Ma Yuling was watching TV at home. Han Guobin received a signal from his wife and went to sit next to Chen Gongan.

We also talked about this.

Chen Gongan said helplessly, "I wanted to tell her, but I was afraid she wouldn't agree. The two of them would be so pitiful, so I didn't tell her and funded her."

"Why not agree? Chengzi's godmother is such a generous person. She would only buy you a pair of shoes that cost at least 50 yuan. How could you be reluctant to spend the 20 yuan? You are wrong in this matter. If I were you, I would go home and ask my wife as soon as possible." Han Guobin said.
