Chapter 146 Li Yue'e, with good intentions
Li Yue'e chatted with Fang Chunfang for half an hour, then stood up and prepared to go back.
"Oh, dear, it's rare for you to come here, why don't you have dinner first?" Fang Chunfang tried to persuade her to stay. "
No. Xiaomo will come to work in the commune tomorrow, so I have to go back and prepare." Li Yue'e said. "Okay
, then we'll have dinner next time." Fang Chunfang said with a smile, and then said to Su Mo: "Niece-in-law, when you work in the commune in the future, come back to your aunt's house with Xiaolan for dinner more often. We are all relatives, so there is no need to be so polite."
Su Mo smiled and nodded, but did not answer directly.
It was also the first time she met Lu Xiaolan's mother-in-law, and she looked quite shrewd.
Before getting on the car, Li Yue'e patted Lu Xiaolan's hand and said, "Come home more often when you have time."
Lu Xiaolan had tears in her eyes. She knew that her mother came here specially to support her, so she nodded quickly, "I will go back next week when I have a day off."
When the supply and marketing cooperative is not busy, there is one day off a week.
After sending Li Yue'e and the others away, Fang Chunfang and her daughter returned to the room.
"I'm afraid the Lu family is going to rise. They actually have a group leader. Jingming is a fool with good luck. He married a good family." Fang Chunfang said.
Yang Jingming and Lu Xiaolan were in love freely. At the beginning, Fang Chunfang saw that Lu Xiaolan's family was not bad and she had a job, so she agreed.
She was not dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law except for giving birth to a child.
"Indeed, it's luck." Yang Limin said with a sour tone.
It would be great if it was her natal family, so that she would have a strong position in her husband's family.
"By the way, the female soldier in the art troupe that was introduced to her third brother, isn't she called Liu Ping?" Yang Limin seemed to have remembered something.
Fang Chunfang thought for a moment, "It seems like she is Director Liu's niece."
"Director Luo got married for the second time two weeks ago. He married a retired soldier from the art troupe, named Liu Ping. I think I saw Director Liu the other day."
"Really?" Fang Chunfang perked up.
"Why would I lie to you?" Yang Limin said, "That Liu Ping, her looks are nothing compared to the current one, no wonder people just don't like her." She
sighed again, "It's fate! If Liu Ping could have married Xiaolan's third brother, she would be the wife of the head of the troupe now."
Although she is now married to the director of the Revolutionary Committee, a high-ranking official,
she is almost fifty years old, and is a second-married man whose wife died, and her son got married last year. In terms of appearance, he also looks fierce, which is simply incomparable to Lu Changzheng.
It's hard for Liu Ping to be willing. If it were her, she would not be willing.
So what if he has power and influence? The other party can be her father. Don't look at others flattering in front of you, I don't know how to spit on him behind your back.
"Everyone has their own marriage. If you can't get married, it means you have no fate." Fang Chunfang said, "Then Liu Ping is probably not a good one."
Who would be willing to marry a man older than their father? I guess he is also a power-hungry person.
Fortunately, they didn't get married, otherwise it would be difficult for them to take advantage of the situation.
********
On the way back, Li Yue'e apologized to Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, I'm really sorry for pulling Secretary Geng's banner just now."
Su Mo waved her hand and said, "Mom, it's no problem." She just said a few words about being close, and didn't do anything else.
But Su Mo was a little curious, "Mom, why don't you talk about the Long March?"
"Cats go their own way, dogs go their own way. No one in her family has served in the army, so naturally she would be more concerned about it as a cadre."
Su Mo smiled. Even though she doesn't understand officialdom, the wisdom of ordinary people in life cannot be ignored.
Li Yue'e sighed, "Xiaolan's mother-in-law is very calculating. At first, I didn't quite agree, but Xiaolan fell in love with him, and Jingming is a good kid, so I just let her do it." "
When we got married, I prepared Xiaolan's dowry very well, for fear that her in-laws would look down on her." "
It was fine at the beginning, and Fang Chunfang was very nice to Xiaolan. But there was a troublemaker sister-in-law who often came back to instigate her mother and stir up trouble between them, which made Fang Chunfang act like a mother-in-law."
"Plus, Xiaolan isn't pregnant yet, so things turned out like this." She just saw that her daughter was thinner than the last time she saw her, and she felt really distressed.
"Mom thought that since you guys are promising and have already gone to the commune, she would go and support your sister and give her some advice. Mom and Dad are old, and she can only rely on you brothers and sisters-in-law."
"Mom, don't worry, if Xiaolan gets into trouble, we won't ignore her." Su Mo quickly expressed her opinion.
A cold light flashed in Lu Changzheng's eyes. He really didn't know about Lu Xiaolan's matter. It seems that he needs to find time to have a good talk with Yang Jingming.
Although Xiaolan grew up in the countryside, she was also raised by her brothers and was spoiled. She couldn't stand being bullied like this.
When they arrived at the brigade, they dropped Li Yue'e off at Lu's house and then went back.
Lu Changzheng was a good driver. Although the road was not wide, he still drove the car steadily to the side of the yard and parked it.
After entering the house, Su Mo saw a large plate of grapes still on the table on the kang, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oh no!
Su Mo looked at Lu Changzheng with a guilty conscience, but Lu Changzheng seemed not to notice anything. He directly picked up the two large luggage bags that he had thrown on the ground and began to pack up.
Su Mo didn't know for a moment whether he saw it or not, or whether he had any doubts.
Lu Changzheng caught a glimpse of Su Mo's expression from the side of his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart.
It seems that his wife has realized that her secret has been exposed.
Lu Changzheng made an excuse to take the things out and was busy outside for a while, wanting to see what Su Mo would do.
When he went back into the house, he found that the grapes on the table were still there.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Is his wife going to show her cards to him? Or has she thought of a good excuse?
Lu Changzheng took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Su Mo.
"Wife, I have taken out all the 1,000 yuan from the passbook in the army, and the salary for the past few months, all here, you keep it."
Su Mo took it, took out the money and counted it, a total of 1,195 yuan.
Lu Changzheng's salary was 89 yuan, and 14 yuan was deducted every month for food expenses, plus he sent her 30 yuan in October. Now I get back 195 yuan, which is not a penny spent.
"Haven't you spent any money recently?"
"I haven't spent all the 50 yuan you gave me when I returned to the army last time." He really didn't spend any money except buying things for his wife.
Su Mo curled her lips. A man who can make money but not spend it is the best.
"Then remember to tell me when you run out of money." Su Mo said, and put the money in the drawer of Kangqin.
Su Mo silently calculated in her heart. With the money Lu Changzheng just gave her, she now has a huge sum of more than 5,900 yuan in her hands.
"Changzheng, how much will you get paid every month after you are promoted to regiment commander?"
"I'm not in the front-line troops now, so my salary will be a little lower, 127 yuan per month." Lu Changzheng replied.
If you are in the frontline, you can get 141 yuan, and if you are a senior regiment commander, you can get 159 yuan.
Su Mo nodded, "That's also very high, I only get 27.5 yuan."
Lu Changzheng laughed, "No problem, I'll give you all my salary."
