Chapter 239 Buying a TV



Lao Hua’s family bought a TV!

This news sparked heated discussions among the village aunties.

Although we have known for a long time that Lao Hua's family is well-off, it didn't affect everyone's jealousy.

"His family is really rich! They just renovated their house and immediately bought a TV!"

"This is the first family in the village to buy a TV!"

"Let's go to her house to watch TV tonight? The brigade headquarters is too crowded, I can't stand it anymore!"

"That's true, we can go to her house and watch TV!"

"Let's go, together!"

“Go, go, go!”

Wan Qingliu had anticipated this situation, so she stuck a straw target at the door and filled it with candied haws.

There was a counter in the main room where the TV was placed, with melon seeds, peanuts and candy on it.

When everyone came to watch TV, Wan Qingliu stood behind the counter with a friendly smile on his face.

"Sunflower seeds are one cent for an ounce, candied haws are two cents each, peanuts are two ounces for one cent, and fruit candies are one cent each!"

She couldn't stop the villagers from watching TV, so she had to charge some interest.

Things are not expensive, and most people are very frugal, but there are always children who make a fuss, and besides, the Chinese New Year has just passed, so the children have some money hidden in their hands.

For a while, the business of selling melon seeds and candied haws was quite good.

Wang Dajuan said sourly, "We all depend on the weather for our livelihood, but her family is so rich, and I don't know what shady business they did to make the money!"

Humph, she still felt that the matter of her grandson was not over yet, but everyone was keeping their mouths shut and they had no way of finding out where Hua Wanli and her husband lived.

I don’t know where the child goes to school, otherwise how could she be so peaceful?

After all, the Hua family has a sense of distance. Many people just say hello when they meet, and who knows what gossip they say behind their backs. How can they know so many details?

"You're asking me? How would I know where his daughter Lili lives? He said his eldest son bought a house for his daughter, but I don't know where it is."

"Oh, I have no idea where her great-grandson goes to school! I'm not her family's tapeworm, do I need to tell me where her family has been going for generations?"

Wang Dajuan tried a crude method. There were only a few primary schools in the county, and she visited each one, but found nothing.

After all, she and Xiaole were not close, and she couldn't recognize his face in the crowd. She could only watch the confused crowd and go home in embarrassment.

She knew that her son and daughter-in-law worked in a textile factory, so she squatted at the door of the textile factory to guard it. However, she accidentally said something wrong and offended the security guard. The security guard drove her away and she didn't even catch anyone.

Everyone laughed at her, saying, "The child is already several years old. Even if you recognize him, he won't be close to you. If you have this time, you'd better keep an eye on your daughter-in-law until she gets pregnant. Maybe she'll have a baby!"

Wang Dajuan curled her lips. She didn’t know how long she would have to wait for those useless people to give birth to children, and the baby might not even be a boy.

It’s better to have this ready-made one.

The whole family did return to the village during the Chinese New Year, but they were all wary of her and she couldn't get close to them at all.

Besides, there were a lot of things to do at home, and she had no time to squat in front of Lao Hua's house.

When she finally found some free time, Hua Wanli and her husband had already returned to the county town.

When she got home, the third daughter-in-law Li Shufen was still busying around. Wang Dajuan glared at her. The daughter-in-law she disliked most in this family was this.

She gave birth to the most daughters, 3 in a row!

The second daughter-in-law is shrewd and mean, but she has her son to protect her, so she is not willing to provoke her. The youngest daughter-in-law is lazy and greedy, her family is powerful, and now she is pregnant, so she dare not show her displeasure.

Only the third daughter-in-law, whose parents have both passed away, has no close relationship with her brothers and is so honest that she can't say a word, so she can be bullied by her. Isn't Wang Dajuan targeting her specifically?

Wang Dajuan saw her picking vegetables and showed disdain: "You can't even do your job properly, you're so slow, you don't even know when you'll get to eat!"

Having said that, she didn't move forward to join in the action.

The chill of spring has not yet subsided and the weather is still very cold, but Li Shufen is only wearing a red coat full of patches and a tattered sweatshirt underneath - this was bought for her when her parents were still alive.

During the day, she had to go to the factory to work, and she had to give all the money she earned to her family. When she got home from get off work, she had to hurry to cook, wash the pots and dishes, sweep the floor, feed the chickens, and chop firewood.

Even though Dafang Village has been away from famine for many years and no longer suffers from hunger, all she can get is half a bowl of rice and a table of leftovers.

Her daughters were even worse off. In the middle of winter, the surface of the water was covered with a thick layer of ice, and they were still wearing autumn clothes, which were loose and had holes in them.

The chilblains on the mother and daughter's hands and feet were cracked and rotten.

Now she is still washing vegetables with ice-cold water, her face is frozen pale.

She sighed and resigned herself to her fate: "Mom, the vegetables will be washed soon and can be fried in the pan later."

She stood up slowly, then felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Wang Dajuan frowned when she saw this, then cursed and kicked him: "You idiot, all you know how to do is act pitiful. You just don't want to work, right? Die!"

Seeing no response from the ground, she yelled, "Third Brother! Third Brother, get over here! Take care of your wife!"

"Mom, what's wrong?" Fang Jianjun heard the voice and ran over hurriedly, not daring to be negligent at all.

Seeing his wife lying on the ground, he hurriedly helped her up and asked his mother, "What happened to Shufen?"

Wang Dajuan glared: "I know what happened to her! I think she is just pretending. I called her for a long time but she didn't respond. She is pretending so well!"

The person in his arms closed his eyes tightly and did not respond.

Fang Jianjun couldn't help but feel nervous. The person was definitely not pretending, it was just that his mother was mean. He couldn't care about anything else at this moment and quickly picked up the person horizontally.
