Chapter 45 Who knows who to dress up for
"Mom, is dinner ready?" Wei Jingfen shouted as soon as she reached the door of her house.
Qin Shulan, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, cursed under her breath, "Starving ghost." Then she shouted back, "Once the vegetables are cut, you can fry them."
Wei Jingfen was on her day off today. Instead of taking care of the children or cooking at home, she went out shopping for most of the day and came back to eat.
Wei Liangfen works in a quilt factory and has four days off a month, which are all rotated.
Her husband, Lin Chengbao, also works at the quilt factory and is in the security department, where he is the security guard at the gate.
Although they worked in the same factory, they met and got together through an introduction.
Lin Chengbao's family was not particularly well off. His family used to be in business and owned a restaurant. Lin Chengbao's grandfather was quite perceptive and donated the restaurant to the country before he died.
Wei Jingfen fell in love with him because he was an officer and was willing to help his brother-in-law from the Lin family.
When her elder sister-in-law wanted to divorce her brother-in-law, she was the first one to disagree. She made a scene at home and even took her children back to her parents' home.
But when she returned to her parents' home, her elder sister-in-law had divorced her brother-in-law.
Now that she was divorced, she couldn't live in her parents' home forever, so she had no choice but to return with Lin Zhongbao and her child.
In the room, the twin boys and girls born to Wei Jingfen were sitting on the floor playing.
Younger brother Lin Chenglong was beating his older sister Lin Chengfeng by grabbing her hair.
While beating him, he drooled and shouted, "I'll beat you, I'll beat you..."
Lin Chengfeng, who was thinner than his brother, cried loudly in pain.
Wei Jingfen came into the house and saw it. She frowned and shouted towards the kitchen: "Mom, the floor is so dirty, why did you let Longlong sit on it?"
She hung her bag on the wall, walked over, picked up her chubby son, and ignored her daughter who was sitting on the ground crying.
Qin Shulan walked to the kitchen door and said, "I told your dad to watch the child. He must have gone downstairs to play chess again."
Lin Yong, the head of the Lin family, was unemployed. The street office had assigned him a job before, moving bricks in a brick factory, but he was too tired to go and sold the job to his cousin.
All day, I either drink tea and read the newspaper, or play chess with others downstairs.
"It's so annoying. There are two of us at home and neither of us can take care of the child." Wei Jingfen complained while holding her baby son on the recliner.
Other people's parents-in-law have one job and one looks after the children, and they both do a good job.
Her parents-in-law don't work and can't even take care of the children at home.
Wei Jingfen is very dissatisfied with the fact that her parents-in-law are currently unemployed.
Although, she herself never spent a penny to support the family.
She kept her salary in her own hands, and asked Lin Zhongbao to give her ten yuan every month.
However, before my eldest sister-in-law got divorced, my mother-in-law would get more than ten yuan in filial piety money from her every month.
Those dozen dollars can cover the family's daily expenses, and neither she nor Zhongbao has to spend a penny.
Now, my mother-in-law asks Zhongbao for five dollars of living expenses every month.
Her salary is twenty dollars a month, and Lin Zhongbao's is twenty-five dollars a month.
Qin Shulan's face darkened. She walked over and pulled Lin Chengfeng up, cursing, "Why are you crying? Your brother just pulled your hair. How much pain can it possibly cause?"
"Wow..." Lin Chengfeng cried even louder.
Wei Jingfen was very annoyed by what she heard and shouted at her daughter fiercely: "If you cry again, I will beat you to death."
Lin Chenglong then said, "I'll beat you up."
Lin Chengfeng was so frightened that she trembled and pursed her lips, not daring to cry, because her mother really beat her.
"Mom, I came out of the state-owned store today and saw a few children who looked like the ones from my brother-in-law's family." Wei Jingfen still called Gu Huai brother-in-law.
Qin Shulan said with great certainty, "You must have seen it wrong. That country woman Gu Huai is reluctant to bring her children to the city."
That woman is such a stingy person, and it is precisely because of her stinginess that I was able to prove the fact that she abused several children.
"I don't know how Dongdong and the others are doing. Today is June 1st. Shouldn't my brother-in-law get his salary on June 5th?" She had heard this from her mother-in-law before.
"Since he is not at home, does that country woman have to collect the salary?" Wei Jingfener asked with blinking eyes.
If her daughter-in-law hadn't told her, Qin Shulan would not have remembered this. When she thought that Gu Huai's salary of 101 yuan would all fall into the hands of that country woman, she felt as if her heart was bitten by ants and was very uncomfortable.
"That should be it."
"Oh, that country woman is so lucky. Where can she find a man who earns 100 yuan a month?" Wei Jingfener said sarcastically while holding her son.
I still blame Qin Shulan for not stopping my elder sister-in-law from getting a divorce.
Qin Shulan did not fail to try to stop it. She almost hanged herself, with the rope even hanging on the beam of the house.
But Lin Siyu turned around and left, saying that she knew she was reluctant to die.
What else can she do?
Qin Shulan planned to go to the family compound again after the 5th.
She had to go and borrow money from the country woman. She had fought with her several times and knew that she was thin-skinned and not very good at talking.
As long as she has a legitimate reason to borrow money, the country woman has no choice but to lend it.
After shopping in the state-owned stores until two o'clock, Yu Hui took the children and took the bus home.
In addition to food, clothes and toys, she also bought two boxes of vanishing cream.
One box is for her and Beibei, and the other box is for Gu Dong and his three brothers.
Although it is summer, my face will still feel a little dry if I don’t apply something.
After getting off the bus and entering the family compound, everyone they met, seeing the three Gu Dong brothers carrying large and small bags, would ask, "What did you buy?"
Knowing what was bought, I couldn't help but look at my stepmother Yu Hui a few more times, and said in my heart that she was really willing to spend so much.
Liu Qin and a fellow military family member were sitting on a stone bench by the roadside, eating melon seeds.
"Hey, whose military dependent is that? He's dressed so nicely." A fellow military dependent from the village saw Yu Hui walking over with a few children.
Liu Qin recognized Yu Hui immediately and spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth. "She's from the divorced Battalion Commander Gu's family."
There were very few divorces in this era. The divorce between Gu Huai and Lin Siyu caused a sensation in the entire military region, and everyone knew about it.
"Didn't you say she was an ugly, rustic, yellow-haired girl? Doesn't she look quite fashionable and pretty?"
Liu Qin couldn't stand people praising Yu Hui in front of her. "I never saw her dress up when Captain Gu was at home. Now that he's not home, she dresses up so seductively. I don't know who she's showing it to."
As soon as these words came out, the military family member sitting next to her looked at her and said, "Don't say things like that."
Isn't she hinting that the other person has something? It would be terrible if someone heard it.
Liu Qin was about to speak when a short-haired girl in a blue floral blouse came over and stood behind her. "Is that Captain Gu's wife? Last time I saw her walking with a man in a military uniform. They were chatting and laughing, looking very intimate."
"Oh, why did I say that?" The short-haired girl covered her mouth with her hands in annoyance.
Liu Qin's eyes sparkled, and she grabbed the short-haired girl's hand, "When did you see it?"
