Chapter 53: I'm so angry (Page 2/2)
"Third brother has to take Third sister-in-law to school. There's no need to do that. We'll leave at 5:30 tomorrow morning." Jiang Qian said.
Zhou Guiyun heard this and said, "Then you guys better be careful. I heard from your third brother that there are a lot of pickpockets on the train, and it's chaotic!"
"No matter how many pickpockets there are or how chaotic it is, I am not afraid as long as Shiguo is here."
Jiang Qian knew that train stations in those days were very chaotic, but Han Shiguo was so upright that those petty thieves were like mice seeing a cat. Not only did they not approach him, they avoided him even when they saw him from a distance.
Her proud tone also made her mother and sisters-in-law laugh.
Zhou Guiyun asked with a smile: "How long does it take to get there by train from the provincial capital?"
"One day and one night." Jiang Qian had asked Han Shiguo about this and was very familiar with the itinerary.
"It's such a long train ride, can I buy a soft sleeper ticket?" Zhou Guiyun still understood.
Because later she took Jiang's father back to her hometown in her memory, also by train.
At first, she and Jiang's father were reluctant to spend money and bought hard seats, but they made their bones almost fall apart.
But they didn't care. When it was their daughter's turn, they wanted to ask about the soft sleeper tickets.
"You can buy soft sleeper tickets in Shiguo." Jiang Qian nodded.
Soft sleeper tickets are indeed hard to buy these days, and are usually reserved for public officials. Only Han Shiguo can buy one.
"That's good." Zhou Guiyun was very satisfied.
…
The first house was undoubtedly lively because Jiang Qian and Han Shiguo came back.
As for the second house, things were a bit dull. Uncle Jiang and Jiang Shouliu and his son went into the mountains to chop firewood.
"I heard from Liu Da's wife that when the young couple came back, Han Shiguo had both hands full of things, including Maotai and good cigarettes. Jiang Qian was also carrying a lot of things. I heard that her little face was rosy. You can tell at a glance that she is living well in her husband's family..."
Shouliu's wife told her mother-in-law, Sun, everything she had heard outside.
Sun's face was not pretty. "Why are you asking so many questions? If you have nothing to do, why don't you clean up the house? It's too dirty to look at!"
"Mom, don't take your anger out on me. I'm not a punching bag!" Shouliu's wife was annoyed.
Sun glared at her and said, "What's the matter? Are you trying to rebel? I say one thing and you say three things back?"
"Mom, if you say that, then I can't control my mouth. If people outside knew that we bought the sewing machine ourselves, I can't guarantee how they would laugh!"
Sun was so angry that she almost died. "You are also a member of the family. If our family is laughed at by others, how can you be good?"
"Come on, I'm just someone's wife. I'm not capable of being laughed at. People will only say that my sister-in-law has good eyesight and that you and dad are capable of making your daughter look good. What does it have to do with me!" Shouliu's wife said sarcastically.
Sun was furious, but could only curse: "Hurry up and do what you need to do!"
Shouliu's wife rolled her eyes.
She was also very angry. How much did that "Bee" brand sewing machine cost?
Although the Wang family gave the ticket as alms, Jiang Shouliu went into the city to ask his cousin Jiang Shouchuan, and found out that it would cost 150 yuan!
Normally, her son would cry poor when he wanted to eat an egg, saying he had no money and was in debt. But this time, he emptied the family savings just to buy this thing for his daughter to show off!
Although it is a good thing to have such a big item at home, the key is that it has to be used. After all, it is less than twice a year at home, and you buy it just to collect dust!
But the family still owes a lot of money to the eldest wife!
If she were to say, it would be better to pay back the money she has saved to the first wife as soon as possible so that she can be debt-free!
