Chapter 67 Thirty Dollars



Therefore, the reason why I married Ruchuan was not because of him alone, but because Ruchuan’s family was a very warm place.

Not long after the meal was ready, the four of them, including Lu Mu and Lu Hai, came back with a rare smile on their faces. After entering the house, they stamped their feet, and then Lu Mu took Su Su's hand and said, "Guess how much we sold?"

"How many?"

"After deducting the base money, I saved twenty-three dollars."

It only took half a day, and it was really amazing.

"Really? It's more than I thought." The fifty pairs haven't been sold out yet, but she has earned twenty-three yuan from selling just over thirty pairs, which is far beyond her imagination.

The mother also said: "Haizi, give the money to your sister-in-law."

"No, no, we two really don't need money. Besides, I didn't help much, it was all sold by you. Mom, if you force it on me again, I'll be angry."

"This……"

Mother Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll give you all the base money today, and we'll take the rest."

"Okay." Su Su agreed and looked at the three boys and said, "Mom, they have done the most today, why not give each of them two yuan."

"Of course." After saving the money, Mother Lu was in a good mood and gave each of the three brothers two yuan on the spot.

Don't underestimate these two dollars, they can be very useful, especially for children, who will only have two dollars in their hands from childhood to adulthood until they get married.

When Lu Hai and the others received the money, they were a little excited. They all looked at Su Su with some thoughts in their minds. It seemed that life would be better with a sister-in-law. They even had money in their hands. It was great.

"By the way, since we're back, let's eat. I've prepared the meal." Su Su quickly tidied up the kang, and then Lu Hai and the others helped to prepare the food and put it on the table. Lu Jiang ran to find his father, and the family ate in the backyard.

Su Su put a lot of pork belly in the potatoes, so everyone was very satisfied. When they were going back, someone met them and asked, "Did you go to see your son?"

Father Lu said, "No, my daughter-in-law made pork stewed with vermicelli for us to eat. She just came home after eating."

"...Really? Your daughter-in-law is really filial." The villager said this and left with a smile.

Father Lu liked to hear this the most. When he went to play cards this year, countless people envied him. He felt proud. Mother Lu glared at him and said, "Can't you show off less?"

"Why? It's not true?" said the father, staring.

Luo's mother smiled and said, "To be honest, you are so happy." Then she said, "With this money, we don't have to worry about the third and fourth children going to school this year. When I have time, I will sew new school bags for them..."

"Yeah." Listening to his wife's chatter, Mr. Lu felt that their family had not been so motivated for a long time.

However, the news of the Lu family selling shoes quickly spread.

There are all kinds of opinions.

Some people just laugh at it.

But then someone spread the word about how much money they had saved at the commune, and everyone became jealous. So someone found Su Su and insisted that she get some more shoes so that everyone could sell them together, saying that it was to generate income for the brigade.

Su Su's eyes widened. Why was this excuse so ridiculous?

She smiled and said, "Not to mention that we are far away from the city and there is no way to transport it back. Even if there is a way, we can't find the way. This is what I encountered, so I bought it."

"If you can come across her again, we will sell them to you. Not only will we give you the base price, but we will also give you a few cents for each pair, how about that?" The woman smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and exuding a not-so-pleasant smell of cigarettes. Su Su only knew that she was from the same village, and didn't even know where she came from. But she made such a request, as if she were her ancestor.

"Am I stupid or what? I have to pay a small amount of money to help you deliver the goods, and then I just make a few cents? Auntie, why don't you go to heaven? Besides, I don't have any other way, so just go back." Su Su is the kind of person who will be very good-tempered when others speak nicely to her. If others make trouble for her and treat her as a fool, she will not let them bully her obediently.

"How can you talk like that? You're always out, aren't you? And you can borrow the army's car. We don't have that ability." The yellow-toothed aunt pointed at Su Su and said, "But I'm the secretary's sister-in-law. If you don't figure this out, I'll tell the secretary. You're just taking advantage of me."

"Go ahead, don't hold me back." Ruchuan spoke gloomily while sitting on the kang, then suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly: "I can also sue you for not working for the welfare of the people as a cadre's family member and trying to take advantage of the army. That car was used to pick up a wounded soldier like me. I was injured during a mission, and you set your sights on the army car. What are you up to?"

It’s fine if he doesn’t speak, but once he speaks he can choke the enemy to death. This husband is quite amazing.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of you." The lady with yellow teeth went out, but she didn't give up and went directly to the secretary's house to make trouble.

The secretary also heard that she was not sensible, so he politely wanted to send her away, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the door, he saw Lu Mu and Lu Hai coming over. She was also very fierce, pointing at the yellow-toothed woman and scolding her, saying that she was shameless and wanted to take advantage of others, and bullied the newlyweds. Fortunately, she went over and listened to what her son said, otherwise she would have been made up into a whole new story.

While cursing, he said, "Secretary, my daughter-in-law knew that my family has more boys than girls and two of them have difficulty in studying, so she took great pains to get some shoes for us to sell to pay for the two children's tuition. But she didn't expect that someone would want to take advantage of her and let her, a little girl, go to buy goods for her family. If we don't let her buy, she will sue us for speculation. What era is it now and you are still citing old sayings? Which family in our village has not gone to the commune to sell the grain they brought back for some money? Why don't they speculate, but I am a speculator?"

"Big sister, my sister-in-law knows nothing, so don't bother with her." The secretary tried to be a peacemaker, hoping that the two of them would not fight. But his sister-in-law refused to give in and insisted on taking advantage of him, so she was beaten by her mother.

It was obvious that his sister-in-law was in the wrong so he didn't let his wife hold them apart. Finally, a few women came and pulled the two apart.

Su Su was quite worried at home. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to rush out right after she finished talking, and it looked like she was going to fight. She stood at the door and looked out, but Chuan moved steadily in the house step by step.

"Do you think my mother will fight with that guy?"

"Um."

"Hmm? You said you can fight?"

"It's okay. Mom has never lost a fight with other women in all these years."

“…” It’s not a question of winning or losing, it’s a question of fighting with others.

But since her son wasn't in a hurry, she just washed his clothes with peace of mind. Ruichuan's injury was getting better day by day, and now he could walk back and forth without the help of a stick, but he couldn't take big steps.

The author has something to say: I wish everyone a happy new year

Good luck on the first day of the new year
