After finding two jade pendants, Jiang Wenwan stopped and took what she had found to settle the account.
They discovered that Sister Song only had that bowl in her hand.
"Auntie, how much are these things?"
Seeing that Jiang Wenwan had indeed pulled out quite a few items, the aunt picked out the bronzeware and said:
"I need to weigh this. The price per pound is the exact price per pound. This price cannot be less than what is charged."
The other calligraphy and paintings, and these few pieces of jade, aren't worth much. Just give me one yuan for these.
As she spoke, she took out a scale to weigh the three bronze artifacts.
Jiang Wenwan really wanted to say, "This thing is an antique, and antiques can't be sold by weight!"
But I'd sell it to her by weight, that would be perfect.
I happily paid one yuan and fifty cents.
When it was Song's turn, the aunt frowned as she looked at the bowl in Song's hand.
"Give me two cents for this broken bowl!"
Sister Song took out two cents and handed it over, and the two left the recycling station.
"Sigh, I'm spending two cents on a bowl, that's quite extravagant, but it really does look like jade!"
Jiang Wenwan packed everything into the basket on her back and said:
"It's definitely jade, sister-in-law. You should keep it safe; it might just become your family heirloom!"
Sister-in-law Song laughed when she heard her exaggerated words.
"This bowl? Hahaha, okay, I'll put it away later. I'll just eat with it; it would be a shame if I broke it."
What kind of family is this! They eat from jade bowls.
"Sister Song, it's noon now. Let's go to the state-run restaurant for lunch."
Song Dandan silently took out two pancakes she had made.
"Where are you going? Try my pancakes, I've added scallions to them."
Let's sit down and eat by the roadside. I still have some water here!
A meal at a state-run restaurant costs several yuan; it's not worth it.
Jiang Wenwan stared speechlessly at the pancake handed to her.
"Uh, I also have water here, and I brought a water bottle. Oh, and I also have steamed buns."
I thought you'd want to go to a state-run restaurant, but if you don't want to go, I won't go either.
Sister Song and her at a roadside table
"That's right! We won't go to state-run restaurants."
"We can just grab a steamed bun or a flatbread from a roadside stall; going to a state-run restaurant is too expensive."
Jiang Wenwan genuinely felt that Sister-in-law Song was too frugal.
"Sister-in-law Song, you're really frugal. Your husband, Lao Lü, already earns a decent salary, and now that he's been promoted to political commissar, his salary should have increased again."
Sister-in-law Song sighed, sat down with Jiang Wenwan by the roadside to eat pancakes, and swallowed the pancake in her mouth, saying:
"He has a younger brother who is still in high school and a younger sister who is getting married."
My younger brother is getting married, and we need money for everything.
Hearing her say that, Jiang Wenwan understood.
Thinking about it this way, I realized how incredibly happy I was with Zhou Yunting.
Her family was practically empty, while Zhou Yunting's family was much simpler; his younger brother was still small, and his stepmother didn't cause any trouble.
As for Old Mrs. Song, we can simply ignore her.
"How about we say you and Zhou Ying are really good friends? By the way, who else is in your family?"
Jiang Wenwan shook her head.
"No, my mom remarried and had another son. She doesn't care about me, and I don't need to care about her either."
Hearing her say that, Sister Song sighed with emotion.
"You guys are living the best life ever!"
"yes!"
Jiang Wenwan thought so too.
The two sat by the roadside, munching on flatbreads and steamed buns, taking a sip of water every now and then.
"Where do we go after we finish eating?"
Sister-in-law, is there anything else you want to buy?
"That's all, I've bought everything I wanted. How about we wait in the car for a bit?"
"OK!"
It's quite sunny at midday, so it's good to wait in the car.
The two were sitting by the roadside, with Jiang Wenwan eating a steamed bun while watching the people passing by.
Then she squinted and saw a familiar figure.
Isn't that Hu Qinghua, who was sent down to a farm?
What is she doing here?
At this moment, she was standing next to a man, and the two of them seemed to be arguing.
"Don't you know what our family's circumstances are?"
We still have to eat at state-run restaurants?
Who exactly are you?
You were a labor reform prisoner sent to a farm for re-education. If I hadn't married you, you would still be doing hard and tiring work.
I'm already being generous by agreeing to let you eat in your county today, and you still want to eat at a state-run restaurant? You're dreaming!
What a lazy and greedy old hag! If it weren't for your looks, would I have married you?
"Hurry up and get out of here!"
As they were talking, the man shoved Hu Qinghua hard.
Hu Qinghua stumbled as he was pushed.
"Why did you push me!"
The tall man gave her an impatient look and a displeased glare.
"What's wrong with pushing you?"
If you keep dawdling, I'll beat you up!
Hu Qinghua pursed her lips and could only walk quickly with her head down. Her eyes swept around and she saw Jiang Wenwan sitting by the roadside eating steamed buns. She was stunned!
Jiang Wenwan never expected to see Hu Qinghua here.
And judging from what that man said earlier, it seems that Hu Qinghua got married?
Hu Qinghua was clearly surprised to see Jiang Wenwan and stood there with her eyes wide open.
The tall man next to her grabbed her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
When he saw her fall, the man's first reaction was not to help her up, but to kick her in a bad mood.
"Damn it, you're such a useless piece of trash, can't you even walk anymore?"
I shouldn't have brought you to the county.
Get up right now!
Jiang Wenwan frowned. How could this man be so tasteless?
Putting aside the fact that it's broad daylight on the street, even at home, you can't treat your wife like that, can you?
