The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 79 (Part 2)

As soon as Chen's mother got home, she started cooking. Little Lao Si went to feed the little donkey. The little donkey rubbed against him affectionately, and then began to eat the delicious radish. Little Lao Si went to pick up someone again, gave the little donkey a bath, and then let it go back to the donkey roost.

In the afternoon, Chen Rou handed the shop over to Han Guobin to look after. Although their own business was quite big with many stalls, Chen Rou and Han Guobin still did not slack off over the grocery store.

At noon, I can take a nap by leaning on the lazy chair specially customized from the furniture store.

When business comes, I do business. I don't look down on the thousand dollars I make from the grocery store. I make every penny this way.

After showing the shop to Han Guobin, Chen Rou and her mother took a nap at home and then came over to visit Fourth Sister Chen.

Chen Sijie and An Dabang sell buns in the morning and open a dumpling shop at noon and in the evening. Their business is not that booming, but it is really good.

Seeing her sister and mother coming over, Sister Chen smiled and asked, "Mom, when did you come to the city?"

"It was this morning. I came in following the tractor." Mother Chen said with a smile as she sat outside.

Although Chen's mother is quite old, she is still very strong. Her legs and feet are very nimble. She came in sitting very steadily on the tractor.

"How's business these days?" Chen Rou asked her fourth sister.

"Not bad." Sister Chen Si said, "We're just waiting to save up some money for their wedding expenses. After that, Dabang and I can save money for our retirement."

An Dabang shouted, "Mom, sister-in-law, would you like a bowl of dumplings?"

"No need, we have already had lunch and cooked five or six dishes." said Chen's mother.

An Dabang smiled and nodded, then he continued to chop the stuffing.

Sister Chen Si chatted with her mother and sister, and also asked about the youngest son of Brother Chen San, saying that it must be precious for him to have a child at such an old age.

Speaking of which, Chen's mother is really satisfied with Wu Afang, the new daughter-in-law.

Even though her grandson is noisy, she can still keep the house in order.

Starting this year, Brother Chen San has set up an oil press factory in the village. It has been built and can be used for two purposes. All the incoming goods and inventory are stored there.

Brother Chen San was also generous. He raised five big wolfhounds there and asked hired workers to take turns to keep watch with his father.

Father Chen no longer lives at home. He basically lives near the factory, looking after it for his son.

Chen's mother was very happy when she talked about the prosperity of her family. As long as the oil press factory did well, she would have nothing to worry about in the future.

"Juhua is getting married this year." Mother Chen thought about it and said.

Juhua is the eldest daughter of her third brother. Even in today's society, if it were in the past, she would have been married long ago.

His third brother and Huang Aidi had three children in total. His niece Juhua was the eldest daughter, and she had two younger brothers.

Including the one Wu Afang gave birth to now, she has three sons, but they all stopped studying after junior high school. They all help out at home and go out to harvest grains and so on.

The three siblings are all that old now, so naturally they are not close to Wu Afang, but Wu Afang doesn't care about this, and they get along quite harmoniously.

Moreover, Wu Afang is kind and good at cooking, Huang Aidi is not as good as her in this respect. Of course, a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness. Although they are divorced now, Huang Aidi is still their mother.

Naturally, they would no longer recognize Wu Afang as their mother, but they were not that close to their biological mother Huang Aidi who lived in the village. Before the divorce, what they feared most was that Huang Aidi would keep telling them that the Huang family was not having a easy time and that they should help them.

If their grandmother had not brought back some cloth and asked their eldest sister to make clothes for them, they would not have been able to count on their mother. All the money she had saved would have been given to Old Huang's family.

And the Huang family, the family of their grandparents, even allowed their cousin to come and seduce their father. The cousin is younger than their eldest sister.

Even if they choose not to continue their studies after junior high school and come out to help their families, they know that this is simply ridiculous!

So when their father wanted to divorce, they had no objection, because it had come to this point, what else could they do? And their father also promised to give their mother 100 yuan a month to live on her own, so he didn't treat her unfairly.

In fact, the two brothers have some objections to the remarriage, but they can't stop it. The eldest sister will be married soon, and can they really leave all the household affairs to them?

I want to marry one, but I'm a little worried that I'll end up with a vicious stepmother. Fortunately, their father has a good eye, and this one is not bad.

The two brothers help out at home, as does their eldest sister, and generally get along well with their stepmother, Wu Afang.

The eldest niece of the third brother is also getting married, and both Chen Rou and Chen Sijie said that they would add to the dowry.

"What is Lei Zi and Yu Tou's attitude towards their younger brother?" Chen Rou asked.

"The third brother talked to the two brothers and told them not to worry about the family property. Just work hard and they will divide it as they wish in the future without favoring anyone," said Chen's mother.

"Why are you talking about this now?" said Chen Sijie.

"It's okay to talk about it." Chen Rou said.

When you re-establish a family, all these problems arise, so some things need to be made clear to avoid any resentment or unnecessary conflicts.

"Don't we have to talk to the two brothers first? Huang Aidi is becoming more and more capable now. Last time, she pulled Lei Zi and Yutou to say that Guangguang would compete with them for the family property in the future, and said that we would all favor Guangguang and let them win at that time!" Chen's mother snorted.

Lei Zi and Yu Tou were both born to Huang Aidi, and Guang Guang was born to Wu Afang.

Fourth Sister Chen frowned and said, "What is Huang Aidi trying to do? Now that we're divorced, why is she still coming to mess up the family?"

"Since my third sister-in-law gave birth to a son, she will definitely have some thoughts. That's normal," said Chen Rou.

Chen's mother said, "That's normal, but why did she teach Lei Zi and Yu Tou these things? She also said that your third brother and I would always favor Guang Guang. Fortunately, Lei Zi and Yu Tou didn't listen to her and knew what was going on!"

Over the years, she has been very kind to her grandchildren. She and her husband would eat the gifts her daughter brought home, but not much as they were reluctant to eat them. Most of the food went into their grandchildren's stomachs. If the affection they had developed over the years could be ruined by a few words from their mother, Mother Chen would probably be very disappointed.

"Who told you that?" Chen Rou asked.

"Your eldest aunt, don't they live over there together? She heard it when we talked about it. I also asked the two brothers, but they didn't wrongly accuse her!" Chen's mother snorted, and then she continued to mutter, "Your third brother is the same. At that time, I said that fifty yuan a month was too much, but your third brother directly gave her a hundred. Now she has nothing better to do than to gossip about it!"

"Lei Zi and Yu Tou didn't listen to her. Just give it to them. It's for the sake of the three siblings." Chen Rou said.

She understood what her third brother meant. After all, they had been married for more than 20 years, and although they did not end up together, she gave birth to three children for him.

From now on, as long as Huang Aidi does not cross the line, he will ask the child to take the monthly living expenses as usual.

This is not only out of affection, but also a psychological comfort to the children, letting them see that their father is not so heartless.

Her third brother has done what he should do. What the other children will think depends on their own intentions.

Chen Rou always felt that her third brother was right in giving Huang Aidi 100 yuan for living expenses, especially since prices have been rising all the time. It is impossible to give her the same amount this year and expect the amount to increase next year. 100 yuan is good, and she can talk about it later.

Giving out this one hundred yuan in alimony is actually beneficial to both her third brother's reputation and the new wife, Wu Afang.

"You don't know, her parents' side came to look for us again!" Chen's mother said again.

"What?" Fourth Sister Chen's face darkened. "We're already divorced, how dare the Huang family come looking for us?"

"She didn't come to our house." Mother Chen explained. The Chen family was so powerful now that the Huang family dared not enter. They had cut off all ties with them. "That old woman went to look for Huang Aidi."

"Want to suck blood again?" Sister Chen Si asked sarcastically.

"That's right, but Huang Aidi threw urine all over him." said Chen's mother.

"Then she has improved." Chen Rou said.

"Improved?" Chen's mother sneered, "I don't think so. Everyone in our area knows what the Huang family is like. Now the old lady is willing to sacrifice her reputation and come to ask her daughter for forgiveness every day, letting her daughter beat and scold her. She doesn't fight back and doesn't say anything back. What do you think will happen if this continues?"

Chen Rou and Chen Sijie were immediately disgusted by the Huang family's behavior.

He heard that Huang Aidi had money and received 100 yuan in alimony every month, so he wanted to suck her blood. Now he allows himself to be beaten and scolded. Isn't he trying to make Huang Aidi soft-hearted?

"And her eldest sister also came to try to persuade her. Just wait and see. With her personality, she won't be able to hold on for long. She'll have to get entangled with her Huang family again." Mother Chen said. Otherwise, why would she be in a hurry to find another wife for her son after the divorce? It was to prevent the relationship from flaring up again!

Now that they are divorced, Chen's mother will not ask anything about Huang Aidi's affairs, even if she knows about it, she still won't ask.

Of course, if the Huang family dared to set their sights on her two grandsons, she would tear the Huang family's skin apart.

However, since she hasn't come to her senses, Chen's mother doesn't intend to care, and she won't care.

"Mother, why did you take care of such a family before? It's so stinking that the whole area is filled with the stench!" said Chen Sijie.

"What can we do? Do you know how difficult it was to find a wife back then?" Chen's mother said unhappily.

In the past, conditions were very bad, and after many people gave birth to girls, some were so cruel that they would just abandon them and let the wolves take them away. Don’t say it doesn’t happen, this is true!

Before marrying Huang Aidi, Chen's mother had inquired about the situation of the Huang family, but as mentioned before, wasn't Chen's mother still young at that time?

I thought that after all, she was married, how could she not be taught and controlled?

But she never expected that the Huang family would be so good at educating their daughter. No matter how her parents beat and scolded her, she always stuck to her parents' principles.

Chen Rou said: "They are just a bunch of termites. They can't cause any waves. You don't have to worry about them, mother."

Even though they are still the in-laws of my two nephews, they are divorced and have severed ties. If they dare to make trouble, I can just deal with them directly. There is no need to worry.

Mother Chen wasn't too worried and just kept nagging her two daughters.

Now that Guangguang's capable mother is around, she has her life very easy. Every day she just chats with her neighbors at home or watches TV.
