The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 86 (Part 3)

Han Guobin's price is the unified price for grain wholesale to merchants outside, because the profit is like this, very transparent, not much.

But it is different from wholesale merchants outside. They don’t deliver the goods to your door, but he delivers them to your door.

Now that food prices have increased, Han Guobin has naturally raised his price as well, but shops will also raise their prices to customers, and the profits are still there.

Han Guobin knew the whole thing very well. His mother had been here for so long and had never asked this question, but now she came up with it. If this wasn't instigated by Song Xiaoyu, then what was she doing?

"Second brother, don't be angry. Xiaoyu is not dissatisfied. This matter..."

Han Guolin wanted to explain, but his mother was really angry. "You have made a difference, so you are great, right?"

"Mom, could you please stop talking!" Han Guolin said weakly.

"He set the price high to begin with. I wouldn't say anything if he wanted to make money, but he's making money for his family, so what can't I say?" said Han's mother.

Father Han looked at Han Guobin and said, "Second brother, why don't you give a lower price?"

Han Guobin smiled and said, "Dad, no one can be the boss of my business."

It is true that he said it with a smile, but his attitude was very clear: it would be useless no matter what anyone said, he would not tolerate this matter.

"Why didn't my third sister-in-law come over?" Chen Rou looked at Han Guolin and said, "Isn't she dissatisfied with this matter? What does she mean by letting the two old people come over?"

"Second sister-in-law, no, this..." Han Guolin couldn't explain.

"That's how things are in business. We've given in everything we can. Your second brother never asked you for this or that after helping you, and he's never said a harsh word to you. If you need anything from him, he's trying his best to make things convenient for you, so that you can live your own lives well. But today I have to make things clear to you, Third Uncle. The matter of supporting the two elders has been discussed since the separation of the family. Regardless of whether Guobin gives an extra 30 yuan subsidy every month or not, you and your third sister-in-law have to support the two elders. My second and first wives contribute money and food every year. The elderly people in the village can all witness it. The old village secretary and others came to preside over the separation of the family." Chen Rou looked at Han Guolin and said.

"Second sister-in-law, I know." Korean Lin said.

"The two elders have always favored you and your third brother's wife. You cannot deny this. Just because they came to talk about your second brother tonight because of this matter, I will never let them live in my house in my lifetime. I dare to tell you this to your face." Chen Rou continued.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely take care of her." Han Guolin said hurriedly.

Chen Rou glanced at the two elders and said, "Don't say that we, the younger generation, don't respect you. Although the old saying is that one's fingers are not equal, you live with your third uncle now, so I understand that you have to consider him. But if you want to act like an elder, you can't do that. If you don't like it, you can go to the police station and file a complaint, saying that the provincial champion's parents don't take care of the elderly. The news will spread quickly."

"Second brother, if this matter cannot be accomplished, then what can be done? Is there any need to say so?" Han's father frowned.

How could he possibly make trouble? He would bring disgrace to all our ancestors.

"Now that I'm old, I just need to live a good life and don't need to worry so much about young people's affairs. If my third sister-in-law has any opinions, please let her come and tell her. I also want to ask her if we have to work for her for free?" Chen Rou said.

"Second sister-in-law, don't say that, don't say that. I will definitely scold her when I go back tonight!" Han Guolin said gritting his teeth.

"Why are you scolding Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu didn't let me say anything. I came here on my own initiative!" said Han's mother.

"It's getting late. Uncle San, you have to set up a stall tomorrow. Go back and rest early. I won't keep you any longer." Chen Rou didn't want to listen to the old lady anymore and said directly.

"Okay." Han Guolin called his parents and went home. There were street lights in the city, so they didn't even need a flashlight.

"Don't listen to the second son and his wife. They have made money now and they don't even recognize their own parents!" Han's mother said to the third son on the way.

Father Han remained silent. He was very dissatisfied with the second son and his wife tonight. They totally ignored him.

"Mom, do you want my second brother to work for me for free before you will be satisfied?" Han Guolin turned around and looked at her.

"Now your father and I are supporting you. We will take care of him even if he doesn't make any money. Besides, he is the eldest. Shouldn't he take better care of your third room?" said Han's mother.

"My father is the eldest brother of my second uncle and third uncle. I didn't see how my father took care of my second uncle and third uncle. In the past, my third uncle's family was poor, and my third aunt came to our house to borrow half a bowl of rice to cook. I didn't see you borrow it. We still had half a jar at that time!" Korean Lin Dao.

"Are you trying to piss your mother off to death? How can this be the same?" said Han's mother.

"Why are we different since we are all brothers?" said Korean Lin Dao.

He stopped talking after he said this, and when he got home, he had a big argument with Song Xiaoyu.

Song Xiaoyu said aggrievedly, "How could I instigate my mother to go there? She wanted to go there on her own and I couldn't persuade her to stop!"

"Don't pretend in front of me. How could I not know what kind of person you are after all these years? Do you think I don't know that you secretly went to other rice shops to ask about the wholesale price? I happened to pass by that day and saw it. Their wholesale price is the same as my second brother's, but they don't deliver the goods to you. You have to drag the cart to transport it yourself, right?" Korean Lin said.

Song Xiaoyu had indeed asked, and said with a stiff neck, "Shouldn't we compare prices from three different stores?"

"Then why don't you buy from other places, but from my second brother?" Han Guolin asked. "I didn't want to say anything to you, but don't pretend to be ignorant. Song Xiaoyu, these are my parents. They have favored me and loved me since I was young. I also decided since I was young that my parents will live with me in the future, and I will also provide for their old age. And when we got married, you also knew that you took all the benefits before, but now that my parents come to live in our house, you feel that you have suffered a great loss!"

"I……"

Han Guolin interrupted her directly, "Don't say you didn't have it. Don't treat me like a fool. I know exactly what you're thinking. And my second sister-in-law told me clearly today and told me to put away your thoughts. Even if my second brother doesn't pay the extra 30 yuan every month, the second and first wives only need to pay for the food expenses. You can't deny the responsibility of supporting the two elders!"

Song Xiaoyu said, "When have I ever been lazy? When have you ever seen me being lazy? Since the two elders came here, haven't I been serving them well?"

Naturally, the two had a big quarrel.

Han Bo watched TV and listened calmly to his parents quarreling in the room. He looked at his grandparents and said, "Grandpa and grandma, please calm down. Uncle and Aunt have taken such good care of you. Stop looking for trouble all the time."

The noise was so loud and Han Bo heard it clearly, so how could he not know what was going on?

Father Han looked sullen and said nothing.

Han's mother's face turned even darker. What a troublemaker the second wife is!

Chen Rou and Han Guobin, who were scolded as troublemakers, were not in a good mood and were still watching TV. Han Cheng came out of the house to make milk and made a cup for her parents.

"Go to your godmother's house and call the fourth child back." Chen Rou said.

"Okay." Han Cheng nodded and came over to call Xiao Lao Si.

The fourth child came back with his sister and looked at his parents with caution.

"Brush your teeth, wash your face, and then go to bed." Chen Rou glared at him.

"Hey, I'll go right away." Little Fourth smiled.

The children have all gone to wash, brush their teeth and go to bed, but Chen Rou and Han Guobin are still watching TV in the room.

"Wife, are you angry?" Han Guobin said, hugging his wife in his arms.

"How can you be so angry about such a small matter?" Chen Rou laughed. "From now on, I will take over the accounts of my third brother's wife. You don't need to interfere."

If Song Xiaoyu wants to test her bottom line, then she will let her know what backlash means.

"Okay." Han Guobin looked at his wife's eyes as she was sharpening the knife to attack pigs and sheep, and nodded obediently.

So the next day Chen Rou came to Song Xiaoyu's shop in person, ignoring Song Xiaoyu's slightly red and swollen eyes, probably because she had been crying.

He also ignored Han's mother's sharp eyes, which were like a knife.

"Third sister-in-law, starting from today, the price of soybean oil, peanut oil, and sesame oil will be increased by four cents per pound, which is the same as the wholesale price outside. I will no longer give you a preferential price. I came here to inform you. If you don't place an order, just tell me and I will not send it over." Chen Rou looked at Song Xiaoyu and said.

Song Xiaoyu's heart sank, and she said hurriedly, "That's fine..."

"The wholesale prices outside are all unified. After all, the profits are there. But I kept it low because I'm looking after my family. But now the prices have increased, so I'll raise them too. From now on, I'll be in charge of the account books of the shop here, not Guobin. If you don't want to order from here, you can order from somewhere else." Chen Rou looked at her and said.

Song Xiaoyu's face was stiff and she said, "Second sister-in-law, I know about this..."

"If you have nothing else to do, third sister-in-law, I'll go back first. I just came here to inform you. I'm very busy. After all, the orders here are not big." Chen Rou interrupted her indifferently. After informing her of the business, she left.

Song Xiaoyu couldn't laugh this time. She knew that she had really offended the second wife this time!

Han Guolin knew about it but didn't say anything. He said, "Since Second Sister-in-law said so, it's fine. It's not like we didn't make any money!"

Song Xiaoyu thought to herself, if that's the case, then why should I buy goods from there? Wouldn't it be the same if I bought them from outside?

She came over to Han Guoli and complained, "We are all family, and now we have to calculate so clearly."

As soon as Han Guoli heard this, she knew something must have happened because her sister-in-law didn't raise her price.

When Song Xiaoyu returned, Yaoyao, the little housekeeper, sneered, "Mom, you're smart. You didn't respond to her. Chengzi told me everything about last night!"

"Tell me what's going on." Han Guoli said.

Yaoyao told her mother what happened, and then said sarcastically, "No matter how much she wants, it's never enough. She really thinks that everyone has to give in to her just because grandpa and grandma live here. She doesn't even look at who takes care of her and Third Uncle's business. This time, my Second Aunt is not going to spoil her!"

"Why are you being so sarcastic? Go back to your room and do your homework." Han Guoli scolded.

Yaoyao pouted but didn't say anything. She felt very happy in her heart. Second aunt did a great job!
