The pink rain boots that Xu Yanni had mentioned a few days ago suddenly appeared in Wang Zhaozhao's possession when Wang Sibing came back from working as a driver.
"Fourth Uncle, you're indeed a good judge of character. You deserve to marry a high school student as beautiful as my Fourth Aunt..."
Wang Zhaozhao didn’t think the black rain boots were ugly at first, but when she got the pink rain boots, she did, and she was so happy that she was full of flattery.
It's still a double blow.
"Hahaha, niece, you flattered me well. Your uncle feels so comfortable all over. Come on, keep going, more."
Wang Sibing laughed exaggeratedly with his hands on his hips.
Not only was she despised by Xie Ailian, but even Wang Dahai looked at her with disdain.
Of course, Wang Zhaozhao wasn’t the only one who had pink rain boots, Qiao Li also had one, so Qiao Li didn’t dislike her.
"Uncle Si, Uncle Si, if my classmate also wants such beautiful rain boots, can you help buy them? And there must be female teachers in Aunt Si's school who would want them..." Wang Zhaozhao raised his hand and asked.
In an era of material scarcity, people’s ways and abilities to pursue beauty were limited, so a pair of pink rain boots could be very eye-catching.
"Hehe, don't you think about who I am, your fourth uncle? Of course I can. I've thought of what you said a long time ago." Wang Sibing chuckled as if everything was under control.
It's hard not to be proud, because, "I brought back a batch - hundreds of pairs of rain boots, in addition to pink, there are also white ones. I have already discussed it with your Uncle Gu, he will find a place, and I will give you the address when the time comes..."
He raised his eyebrows at Wang Zhaozhao, you know!
Wang Zhaozhao found that he really understood it. He looked at Qiao Li and saw that she was trying to hold back her laughter.
Her fourth aunt also understands, haha.
"Hundreds of pairs? Fourth Brother, are you crazy?" Xie Ailian exclaimed.
Wang Dahai glared at her and asked, "What are you yelling about?"
"No, old man, hundreds of pairs. How can we sell hundreds of pairs in such a small place like our county?" Xie Ailian felt overwhelmed and didn't dare to think about it. How many hundreds of pairs could we sell?
Wang Dahai stared at her with his dead fish eyes, and kept staring until all her excitement disappeared, her scalp numbed, and her throat tightened.
"Old Four and the others are right not to say anything. Otherwise, you alone would be enough to hold them back!" Wang Dahai said coldly.
Xie Ailian opened her mouth to refute, but when she met his gaze, she took the words back.
"Just a few hundred pairs of rain boots, but you act like your coffin is going to be lost. If you knew about his side business and buying a shop, he wouldn't be able to do any of it." Wang Dahai said this with gritted teeth because he was angry.
Xie Ailian: “……!”
She opened her mouth, feeling extremely depressed, but had nothing to say.
"Keke, yes, those are hundreds of pairs of rain boots..." She still couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
Wang Dahai's face turned black as charcoal. "Don't even mention a few hundred pairs. What if there are thousands or tens of thousands of pairs? You're an old woman who knows nothing. Stop worrying about things that are beyond your control."
"He's my son, why shouldn't I worry about him?" Xie Ailian was dissatisfied, but her voice was soft enough for her to hear.
Wang Zhaozhao glanced at Wang Sibing and Qiao Li secretly. Qiao Li was looking at her with her eyes and nose, while Wang Sibing acted as if nothing had happened. When he saw Wang Zhaozhao looking at him, he winked at her.
All right! Her fourth uncle did it on purpose, and no one knew what his plan was.
The next day, Wang Zhaozhao and the others knew the address, but no one mentioned exceeding it again. Instead, Wang Dahai started giving Comrade Xie Ailian an ideological education class.
This lasted for half a month. Wang Zhaozhao could feel Comrade Xie Ailian's depression and frustration. She seriously suspected that her grandfather wanted to organize another exam.
"Old man, are you done yet? Can you please stop nagging me? I understand. From now on, I will no longer care about your precious fourth son's affairs, okay? Even if he farts, I will say it smells good, okay?"
Xie Ailian wore a mask of pain and begged Wang Dahai to let her go.
Wang Dahai shook his head. "You still haven't realized your real mistake."
Xie Ailian: “……!”
Tired, destroy it!
Wang Zhaozhao sympathized with her for a second and then passed by silently.
At dinner time, Wang Zhaozhao curiously asked, "Uncle, how are those rain boots selling?"
"There are about ten pairs left, and they're sold out. I plan to go to the market on Sunday." Wang Sibing answered the question as soon as it was asked.
Xie Ailian was confused for a moment. "Where are you going to the market? What do you want to buy that can't be bought in the city?"
“……!”
Well.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Wang Dahai's face turned dark. He had always thought that his wife was smart, but now he realized that she was actually a fool.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Xie Ailian suddenly realized, "What? Hundreds of pairs are now only a few dozen left? You plan to sell them at the market? Will anyone buy them? Since they can be sold in the city, just keep selling them. Why bother..."
Wang Dahai gritted his teeth and interrupted her, "If you can't speak, then shut up! Nothing has even started yet and you're already saying it's bad! Can it sell? Do you think it can sell? Hundreds of pairs have been sold, and only a few dozen are left."
"How did I say anything pessimistic? I'm just worried." Xie Ailian shrank her neck and muttered unconvincedly.
"So, you think your son is stupid, incompetent, and can't do anything, so you should worry about him?"
"That's not what I meant... I'm his mother. What's wrong with me, a mother, worrying about my child?"
"He's eating now, aren't you worried he might choke?"
"...Old man, you are just looking for trouble."
Faced with Wang Dahai's aggressive look, Xie Ailian felt wronged and tears immediately flowed down.
Wang Zhaozhao watched from the side, wondering if she should regret bringing the rain boots. However, she didn't worry too much.
What Wang Dahai said was right. When Xie Ailian said she was worried, she was indeed speaking in a pessimistic way.
There were hundreds of pairs of rain boots, and you said you were worried. Now there are only dozens of pairs left, and you are still worried... There is nothing wrong with being worried, but maybe the way you express your worry is wrong?
Wang Zhaozhao didn't know what to say, but she still hoped that Xie Ailian would not react in that way. It was better to support her than to worry.
"Fourth Uncle, the day after tomorrow is Sunday. Can I go with you?" Wang Zhaozhao said, raising his hand.
"Okay." Wang Sibing agreed readily.
Wang Dahai said, "I'll go too. I can help move things."
"I'm going too..." Xie Ailian also said, but was interrupted by Wang Dahai, "Why are you going? It's not like we're going to a gang fight, why would we need so many people?"
Xie Ailian looked at Wang Dahai with an expression of disbelief on her face. Is this man in front of her still the honest and dull man she had been married to for decades?
This damn old man, is he taking the wrong medicine? He is arguing with her as if he is addicted to it.
