Chapter 117 This Family Will Break Up Sooner or Later
"Sister-in-law Wei, last time you said your father was hit by a car, was he rescued?"
Sister-in-law Wei nodded, wiped her tears and said, "The man was saved, but it cost several thousand yuan, and the family still owes more than three thousand yuan. My sister-in-law and my brother's wife refused to pay, saying that I was the one who insisted on asking the doctor to save my father, and I have to pay the debt alone.
Last year, Lao Wei took half of the money he earned home to pay off debts. He didn't say anything, but he is my father after all, and I can't just watch him subsidize my family all the time. If his parents knew about it, they would be very dissatisfied with me.
I want to make some money and pay off my debts, otherwise this family will fall apart sooner or later."
Seeing that Mrs. Wei's face, which was originally full of collagen but now looked pale, Su Wan also sighed.
She asked, "Sister Wei, why didn't you tell me last year? I hired a temporary worker to help out in the store last year. I was paid twenty yuan a day."
Mrs. Wei was very embarrassed. "I wanted to say that, but I saw that someone was helping you in the clothing store, so I didn't dare to say it."
"Then come to work whenever you're free. My salary is a base salary plus commission. If you can't work overtime at night, you can get a base salary of 50 plus commission. The more customers buy, the more you earn."
"The base salary is only fifty!" Wei's wife gasped, "Old Wei only makes a little over a hundred a month!"
"If you do well, you'll get bonuses every holiday."
Sister-in-law Wei nodded and said gratefully, "Xiao Su, I really don't know how to thank you!"
"Sister-in-law Wei, I didn't have any friends when I first came to the army. You didn't mind my youth and innocence. I've always remembered it!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei felt even more embarrassed.
It was just a small favor for her, and she just wanted to help because she came from the countryside.
They had lunch at Mrs. Wei's house. After lunch, she followed Su Wan back to help clean the house inside and out, and then chatted with Su Wan.
Su Wan gave the down jacket she brought to Sister Wei. "I brought one for you when I came here. I'm grateful to you for helping me look after the house on weekdays."
"How can that be? I..."
Before Sister Wei could finish her words, Su Wan had already stuffed the clothes into her hands and said, "It's cold this year, so please keep them!"
"Xiao Su, thank you so much!"
After giving the large dumpling in the bag to Su Wan, Mrs. Wei saw that it was raining again outside and said, "I have to go back. I still have to make dumplings for them today."
Thinking back to when she saw all the vegetables at Sister Wei's house, and seeing that Sister Wei looked unhappy, Su Wan quickly pulled her aside and said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. Why don't you come over and make some for me? I bought some meat, so I can make big ones with meat filling."
Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I see you don't have much here, I'll go get the rolling pin and some flour."
"Okay, I'll go to your vegetable garden and pick some vegetables later."
Su Wan really didn't buy flour, she only had a little rice.
She took the meat and fish she bought and put them on the table. Fortunately, she had planned to treat Mrs. Wei to a meal and also bought five pounds of mutton.
After cutting the lamb chops and stewing them in the pot, Su Wan held an umbrella and went to Mrs. Wei's field to pick a few radishes and a handful of green vegetables.
When Mrs. Wei came, she brought two pots and flour.
Su Wan then remembered that Lin Wu had helped her last time and asked Sister Wei, "Sister-in-law, is Brother Lin Wu still in the army?"
"He's here, are you looking for him?"
"I want to treat him to a meal. He has helped us a lot before." Su Wan explained.
Sister Wei had also heard that Deputy Commander Lin and Chen Yuan were close, so she didn't think much of it. She said, "It seems they haven't been training these past two days. He's in the compound next door. How about I go over and call him?"
"Okay, then just tell him I need help with something and ask him to come over."
She couldn't use the food she bought to treat anyone to a meal, so it was naturally not appropriate for her to go and ask Lin Wu to come over for a meal.
Mrs. Wei responded and went to the next courtyard.
When Mrs. Wei and Lin Wu came back, Su Wan had already stewed several dishes.
As soon as Lin Wu came in, he asked Su Wan, "Sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Brother Lin," Su Wan called out, a smile spreading across her face. "I owe you so much for helping me with the border pass. I wanted to thank you in person."
"These are all trivial matters." Lin Wu waved his hand. "Chen Yuan hasn't come back yet. If you need any help, just tell me. I will definitely help."
Lin Wu sat down on the chair and continued, "Have you looked for Chen Yuan in the past few months? I haven't heard from him since he went to the Army Academy. I don't know how he's doing now?"
Su Wan asked Sister Wei to sit down before sitting down next to her.
I replied, "I went to the Heilongjiang Army Academy to see him before the New Year. He's doing fine now. Don't worry, Brother Lin."
Lin Wu also knew about Chen Yuan's trip to the Heilongjiang Army Academy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although life in Heilongjiang is a bit tougher, the education there is stricter and better when it comes to studying."
"I understand."
Su Wan saw the changes in Chen Yuan. She thought that Chen Yuan was pretty good. The two of them making progress together was her ideal marriage.
"Once Chen Yuan returns to the army, he will definitely get better and better. He performed very well at the Army Academy. When they called to give us feedback before the New Year, the political commissar was very happy. You can rest assured."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Su Wan would find it too difficult to wait, Lin Wu told her a lot about things in the army.
Mrs. Wei saw them chatting while she was kneading flour.
Seeing this, Su Wan also helped to knead the dough, and Lin Wu also helped to chop the meat.
Watching him chop the meat skillfully, Wei's wife also joked happily, "Deputy Captain Lin is still single. Is there any girl you like, or are you looking for a partner? I can introduce you to a few."
While chopping the meat, Lin Wu replied, "Sister-in-law, I'm not suitable for marriage at all with my sloppy appearance. Girls won't like a man with a fierce look like me."
"No, I heard from above that you don't want to get married. If you just say you want to get married, there will be plenty of girls who will marry you."
There are many unmarried young girls in the army who want to marry Lin Wu, but unfortunately, he doesn't like any of them.
He is not too old this year, otherwise the army would definitely force him to solve his personal problems.
Su Wan also glanced at Lin Wu and said, "Brother Lin must want to find a girl he likes. After all, he's not that old, so it's okay to get married later."
"My sister-in-law is right. I'm still young and still a long way from turning 30! Besides, with my job, wouldn't it make a girl live in fear every day?"
