"I won't tell Jiadong, okay?" Wang Jing said with a smile.

Wang Jing knew her mother-in-law's personality.

Aunt Tao is fearless, except when her son Tao Jiadong loses his temper.

If Tao Jiadong knew that Aunt Tao had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative counter to snatch defective fabric today and even fainted from anger, he would definitely nag her endlessly until she promised not to do it again.

To get some peace and quiet, Aunt Tao had no choice but to ask her daughter-in-law for help.

Wang Jing's promise to keep it from Tao Jiadong did not mean she was ignoring the matter.

Wang Jing planned to find out the names of the two sales clerks at the cloth counter of the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon, and then call Director Wang of the supply and marketing cooperative to ask him to manage his subordinates properly.

"Xiaojing, help me home now. I'm still a little dizzy, I might have heatstroke. I need to go home, take some medicine, and lie down for a while." Aunt Tao could tell from her daughter-in-law's expression that she wouldn't give up so easily.

Fearing that Wang Jing would rush to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle accounts with the two sales clerks and that this would eventually alarm her son, Tao Jiadong, Aunt Tao quickly pretended to be weak and delicate.

Although the two sales clerks were hateful, Aunt Tao didn't think about taking revenge immediately.

It's not too late for her to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle accounts after she has recovered in two months.

Revenge? It's definitely more satisfying to do it yourself.

The more Aunt Tao thought about it, the happier she became. In her mind, she imagined herself single-handedly defeating two sales clerks.

"Mother, let me take your pulse first." Wang Jing remained calm and took Tao Da Niang's wrist carefully to take her pulse.

Well?

Aunt Tao's eyes flickered.

Having a daughter-in-law with such excellent medical skills isn't all good; it's too difficult for her to lie and say she's not feeling well.

A minute later, Wang Jing released Tao Da Niang's hand expressionlessly and said, "Mom, you're fine for now, you don't need to take any medicine."

"Ah? Hehehe..." Aunt Tao laughed awkwardly and said, "Maybe she was afraid that if you gave me acupuncture, her body would get better on its own."

Wang Jing forced a smile and said, "Mom, let's hurry home and cook. Jia Dong said he's coming home for lunch today."

"Jiadong, come home for dinner? Hurry up, it's getting late." Aunt Tao jumped up from the ground.

"Xiuhong, my house is a mess today, so I won't invite you over. Maybe next time! Next time you come to town, I'll invite you to my house." Aunt Tao stood up and said apologetically to Huang Xiuhong.

"Aunt Tao, I have something to do today, see you next time." Huang Xiuhong waved her hand, her smile looking awkward.

This was the first time Huang Xiuhong had ever met a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law like Aunt Tao and Wang Jing.

The mother-in-law is timid and even acts coquettishly in front of her daughter-in-law.

That's so strange!

"Xiuhong, I'll come to Huangjia Village to see you in a couple of days, don't forget!" After taking a few steps, Aunt Tao turned back and called out to Huang Xiuhong.

Seeing Huang Xiuhong nod, Aunt Tao waved and jogged after Wang Jing, walking away into the distance.

After the old woman disappeared from sight, Huang Xiuhong glanced at the fabric counter.

There were still many people in front of the counter.

Should she rush back to buy the defective fabric, or go to the hospital to find Huang Shujuan? Huang Xiuhong was conflicted.

"Sister Xiuhong, Sister Xiuhong." At this moment, Huang Shujuan ran over breathlessly and said, "The hospital said they don't have enough staff and can't make house calls. They want us to take the old lady there."

“No need, the old lady is all better now and has gone home with her daughter-in-law,” Huang Xiuhong said.

"That's great." Huang Shujuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shujuan, wait for me here. I'll go see if there are any flawed fabrics left to sell." Huang Xiuhong glanced at the counter and finally made up her mind.

"Sister Xiuhong, how about... we ask Brother Xiaobao for help? Brother Xiaobao said his fifth sister works at the supply and marketing cooperative, I think she sells cloth." Huang Shujuan frowned and suggested.

Huang Shujuan didn't want to squeeze in anymore.

I'll be off work in half an hour.

There were too many people in front of the fabric counter, and even if they squeezed to the front, they might not be able to buy anything.

"No need, I'm not familiar with Liang Xiaobao," Huang Xiuhong refused.

"Sister Xiuhong, I'll go talk to Brother Xiaobao, you don't need to say anything." Huang Shujuan took Huang Xiuhong's hand and left.

Huang Shujuan just went to the hospital. Her legs are so tired from running.

Huang Shujuan wanted to see Liang Xiaobao, not so much to buy the fabric, but mainly to show off her "contribution" to him.

“I don’t want to go. Even if I can’t buy the defective cloth, I still have cloth coupons,” Huang Xiuhong said unhappily, pulling her hand back.

Huang Shujuan liked Liang Xiaobao, and Huang Xiuhong didn't know what to say.

However, Huang Xiuhong herself had absolutely no desire to get involved with a scoundrel like Liang Xiaobao.

“Sister Xiuhong, I’m doing this for your own good, trying to save you some cloth ration coupons. If you don’t want Brother Xiaobao’s help, then don’t go to him.” Huang Shujuan said awkwardly.

Huang Xiuhong is the daughter of the brigade leader.

Huang Shujuan had put in a lot of effort to become good friends with Huang Xiuhong. She didn't want to fall out with Huang Xiuhong over such a trivial matter.

“My cloth coupons are about to expire, so it’s best not to ask for favors if I can avoid it. If you don’t believe me, I can show you.” Huang Xiuhong said as she reached into her pocket to take out her money and coupons.

His pockets were empty.

Huang Xiuhong's expression changed.

Where are her money and tickets? The money and tickets wrapped in the pink checkered handkerchief have disappeared.

"Sister Xiuhong, what's wrong?" Huang Shujuan asked when she saw Huang Xiuhong's pale face.

"It seems my money and tickets have been stolen. That damned thief, I curse him to have a son without an anus," Huang Xiuhong said bitterly.

"A thief?" Huang Shujuan quickly reached into her pocket.

Fortunately, she still had the two cents in her pocket.

Huang Shujuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shujuan, let's go! Let's go back to the village," Huang Xiuhong said dejectedly.

With the cloth coupons gone and the money gone, even if the supply and marketing cooperative were to sell its defective cloth at will, Huang Xiuhong wouldn't be able to buy any.

"Sister Xiuhong, could it have fallen off? Let's look for it first!" Huang Shujuan suggested.

Huang Xiuhong brought a little over three yuan and five and a half feet of cloth coupons with her today.

If she really lost it, Huang Shujuan would be heartbroken for her.

"It's probably gone for good, let's just forget about it!" Huang Xiuhong shook her head, looking somewhat dejected.

"Could it be that old lady who took it? Did she take advantage of your sympathy, pretend to be sick, and then secretly steal your money and tickets?" Huang Shujuan guessed.

“Impossible.” Huang Xiuhong shook her head.

Although Aunt Tao was wearing patched clothes, Huang Xiuhong felt that Aunt Tao's family should not be short of money.

"Who knows? You can know a person's face but not their heart," Huang Shujuan said, pursing her lips.

Perhaps because Aunt Tao and Liang Xiaohe had quarreled, Huang Shujuan had no good feelings towards Aunt Tao.

"Shujuan, I told you it couldn't be Aunt Tao. Don't make wild guesses, or I'll get angry." Huang Xiuhong's face fell.

Huang Xiuhong was already upset enough about losing her money and tickets. Huang Shujuan then dragged Tao Da Niang into the mess, making Huang Xiuhong even more annoyed.
