Chapter 11 Wang Yuqing scolds the innocent-looking girl until she cries

He Ruhua stood in front of the counter, her heart itching with hatred, really wanting to kick Wang Yuqing out.

However, she couldn't lose her job because of a momentary impulse, and she couldn't lose face in front of Brother Ning.

He Ruhua took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said to Wang Yuqing, "What would you like to buy for the children?"

Wang Yuqing's gaze was still scanning the shelves when she casually replied, "Let me see."

He Ruhua took the opportunity to grab a can of malted milk powder from the shelf, weighed it in her hand, and then handed it to Wang Yuqing: "Buy a few cans of malted milk powder for the three children. They are all as thin as chicks and malnourished. They have never tasted this malted milk powder before. You will be their mother from now on. Buy one can for each of them to try and nourish their bodies. They are all growing up."

Wang Yuqing knew that malted milk powder was a luxury item in this era, especially for children in the countryside, who could only taste it during festivals.

She was well aware of He Ruhua's wicked intentions and said calmly, "I'll take a look myself."

He Ruhua curled her lip and said disdainfully, "What are you looking at? This is the best, and it's the most suitable for the kids in the family to drink."

Chen E spoke first, saying, "Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for people? Forty-five yuan is enough for a family to live on for a year."

He Ruhua replied, "Auntie, these days everyone brings this when visiting relatives. It's Yuqing's first time visiting her in-laws, so we definitely need to bring her some decent gifts. Otherwise, outsiders will gossip about her being a shrew. Besides, Yuqing is from the county town; how could she not afford a few cans of malted milk powder..."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Yuqing and said, "You agree, Comrade Yuqing, the first gift for a visit shouldn't be lacking. If you ask me, you should also bring some canned peach shortbread for Grandma Ji so she can have a taste..."

Wang Yuqing frowned slightly. She didn't have any memories of the original owner of this body. She had only heard Wang Yuyan mention it briefly, saying that the brigade director's daughter liked Ji Xuening and shamelessly pestered him every day.

He Ruhua looked at her and deliberately asked, "What's wrong, Comrade Yuqing? You're not going to be reluctant to part with it, are you? It won't cost much."

Just as Wang Yuqing was about to retort, Ji Xuening, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up in a deep voice: "No need to buy anything, let's go home."

He Ruhua glared at Wang Yuqing with a sidelong glance and said in a loud voice, "Oh dear, how can you not buy anything? If you don't, people will say behind your back that Comrade Yuqing is stingy. If Comrade Yuqing really wants to live with you, she will definitely buy some things for the children. After you get married, you will be the children's mother. Isn't it normal for a mother to buy some good things to nourish her children? This malted milk powder is the most suitable for nourishing children."

"And Grandma Ji, as her granddaughter-in-law, I definitely have to buy her something to show my respect."

He Ruhua casually pointed to the cheapest candy next to her and said sarcastically, "Why don't you buy some pagoda candies or something? They're very cheap, only one cent each. You can buy one for each of you, which will only cost three cents. My brother eats them every day and buys them with his own money."

Although Ji Xuening didn't like Wang Yuqing, he disliked people like He Ruhua even more. He frowned and said, "My child doesn't like candy. Let's go back."

Wang Yuqing did not leave. The woman was being sarcastic and mocking. There was nothing to say to this kind of person who just started cursing. Anyway, she was not a civilized person.

"You fat girl, your body is all sideways and your brain is all crooked. Look at your features, they're all all different, none of them give way to anyone else. No wonder you don't respect me. What? You're jealous that I've become Xue Ning's wife?"

"Why didn't you marry him sooner and become his wife? Isn't it because you think his family is poor? You think he's poor, but you can't stand me being his wife, so you can't stand not making a few sarcastic remarks?"

He Ruhua was taken aback by her scolding, which bluntly exposed her thoughts. Her face flushed red, but she refused to back down and retorted, "Watch your mouth. If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. Why do you have to scold me like that?"

Wang Yuqing sneered: "Whether I'm willing or not is none of your business. So what if I'm stingy? Am I your mother? Do you think I have to buy it just because you yell at me? You're a saleswoman, not my daughter. Don't keep telling me to buy this or that."

She accepted a little more, otherwise she would have said: "Why don't you call me Mom, and I'll listen to my good daughter and buy it?"

He Ruhua was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged. No one had ever scolded her like this before. Everyone had always been accommodating to her. Today, she had met a tough opponent, and she felt extremely frustrated.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She was usually quite unreasonable, but not very bright and not good at arguing. At this moment, she stubbornly said to Ji Xuening, "Brother Ning, look at her. She has no manners at all. How can we marry someone like this?"

"That's my family matter."

Ji Xuening replied with a cold face.

Although he was shocked by Wang Yuqing's cursing skills, and found that she had indeed gone a bit too far, he could still distinguish right from wrong.

Wang Yuqing thought this man was really good; he had sound values ​​and could help his wife outside the home.

Chen E hadn't expected Wang Yuqing to be so strong-willed, not one to be bullied. Her cursing was also quite sophisticated, and her fresh vocabulary broadened her horizons.

That's good too; going to the Ji family will allow them to stand up for the family.

She was secretly pleased, thinking, "I'll curse you to death, who told you to steal my daughter's job, ugh." After all, she was an elder, and she couldn't scold the younger generation, especially since the girl was still unmarried.

Since Ji Xuening had spoken like that, even if He Ruhua was stupid, she knew she couldn't continue. She felt incredibly embarrassed and even angrier. How could he speak up for her on their very first meeting? They had grown up together since childhood.

Seeing that she was listless, Wang Yuqing didn't bother to pay attention to her and said to Ji Xuening, "I'd better buy something."

She later bought a slate pencil, a pencil, and a ballpoint pen.

She bought four stone pencils for 1 cent each, two pencils for 3 cents each, and one ballpoint pen for 25 cents each, spending 35 cents in total.

She didn't buy Grandma Ji any canned peach shortbread. In those days, everyone was poor and life was hard. If they had any money, they would spend it on practical things, let alone an elderly person like Grandma Ji.

Even if she could afford some canned peach shortbread, she might as well buy some daily necessities. However, she only had 65 cents left, which could only buy some salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

She checked the prices and bought a pound of salt, a bottle of vinegar, a bottle of soy sauce, and a packet of MSG. After carefully calculating everything, she spent all the remaining money.

It has to be said that one yuan is really precious these days, but she also understands the saying "split one yuan in half to spend".

The aroma filled Wang Yuqing's nostrils. These ingredients didn't require any advanced technology or grueling work, so the food must taste delicious. Actually, there was another reason she bought the seasonings: she was a foodie.
