Chapter 189
Chen Haiying walked towards Su Qingci, crossing his arms, "Do you still need others to stand up for you?"
"Hey."
Su Qingci patted his chest and said, "When did you come here? It's so scary in broad daylight."
Chen Haiying opened his mouth and mustered up his courage.
"I want to make a deal with you."
"what?"
"I heard you had a fight with Chen Xiuxiang this morning."
"She asked for the room you occupied at the educated youth camp?"
Su Qingci raised an eyebrow and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"I want your room, too."
Su Qingci waved her hand and said, "Stop dreaming. Go away."
"I didn't want it for free. I paid for it."
"Hey, come back!"
“20!”
Chen Haiying.....
"You just asked Chen Xiuxiang for ten dollars this morning."
"Love or not, if you don't want it, forget it."
"twelve!"
"make a deal!"
Chen Haiying felt so uncomfortable that she vomited in her heart. The other party agreed too readily.
She just wanted to return ten dollars, maybe Su Qingci would agree!
Now that I've said it, it's hard to go back on my word. The other party has a weird temper and might not sell it if he gets unhappy.
She urgently needs a room of her own, and she doesn't want to stay in the same room with Luo Zhishan for even a day.
Luo Weiping would not easily agree to Luo Zhishan's divorce.
Given Luo Zhishan's indecisive personality, he would not have the courage to divorce him secretly unless Luo Pingwei agreed.
So she has to be prepared for a long struggle.
After Chen Xiuxiang publicly reflects on her mistakes and apologizes tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of rumors in the team. She has an unpleasant personality and doesn't intend to get along with everyone.
In addition, after the beginning of next year, there will be more educated youth joining the team, and there will be more people and more things to do.
It is so important to have a separate room of your own.
Chen Haiying is not short of money. She has been frugal over the years and has hardly used even the subsidy she received as an educated youth in the countryside.
Secretary Luo was a man of honor. He had promised to give her a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, and he really gave her a hundred yuan.
The money was in her hands, and no matter how Zhang Guiying pressured her, she just gritted her teeth and didn't take out a penny.
Chen Haiying endured the pain and continued to negotiate, "I can give you the money now, but I want to get the key today."
"You know my situation well, I really need this room."
Su Qingci was also easy to talk to, and rubbed her thumb and index finger towards her.
"One hand hands over the money and the other hand hands over the keys."
"If you give me money now, I will vacate the house for you immediately."
The house at the educated youth site is currently useless to Su Qingci. She now lives in the town and rarely comes back.
I originally wanted to give it to Chen Chuntao, but from what she said, she would have a dormitory when she went to work in town after the New Year.
Besides, even if she really came back for something, Song Jingzhou still had his house in the village.
Chen Haiying brought money with him when he came to see Su Qingci.
Seeing that she agreed readily, he immediately took out a Big Unity note and drew out a dollar note and two fifty-cent notes and handed them to her.
Su Qingci took the money without hesitation and said, "Let's go to the educated youth site now."
The speed at which rumors spread in rural areas is even comparable to that of the Internet era in later generations.
In just a short while, everyone at the educated youth site looked at Chen Haiying with inquiring eyes.
However, Chen Haiying had a cold face and an air of keeping strangers away, so no one dared to talk loudly.
They just looked at her curiously and whispered to each other. After all, women who dared to ask for divorce in this era were all ruthless people.
Su Qingci opened the room to show her.
"Well, it's just this big. Since you're so willing to pay, I'll leave the bed, the cabinet, and the wooden box to you."
Chen Haiying was about to thank him when Su Qingci continued.
"Just add three more dollars!"
"I had the cabinets and boxes made according to my measurements at Uncle Daliang's house. I also made the bed frame and bed slats myself. They're not the team's collective property, so they're made of good wood."
"You're lucky."
Chen Haiying took a look, sat on the bed and bounced twice, without saying much, and took out another three dollars.
After handing the money to Su Qingci, he pointed to the mat standing upright behind the door and asked, "Can you leave that for me too?"
Seeing that she was happy to pay, Su Qingci didn't argue with her. "Okay, I'll give it to you. I'll give it all to you."
After handing the key to Chen Haiying, he walked out with the small bag he had packed in the morning.
As soon as I walked out of the door and into the yard, Chen Chuntao came over.
"Qingci, why are you walking with her?"
"Sister Chuntao, I gave that room to her!"
"Give it to her?"
Chen Chuntao thought of the gossip Zhou Huijuan had just told her and asked nervously, "How can you give it to her? She didn't bully you, did she?"
"No."
Su Qingci lowered her voice and said, "I took the money. Including the stuff inside, it's a full fifteen dollars."
Chen Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't suffer any loss at this price, but rather got a great deal.
A regular worker in the town only earns a few dozen yuan, and the room was originally the collective property of the team.
"It's better to take the money. You can't use it now anyway. If you don't give it to her, maybe when new educated youth come after the New Year, it will be taken by someone else."
"That's what I thought too. I was thinking of giving it to you, but I didn't tell you because you said you'd be living in town after the New Year."
"By the way, how's your work going?"
Chen Chuntao looked around and lowered her voice when she saw that there was no one around.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to go through the employment procedures after the New Year."
The two whispered for a while, and Su Qingci roughly figured it out through Chen Chuntao's revelation and her own imagination.
Aunt Mei, who sold the house to Shen Chuntao for work, was married to Uncle Yongsheng, a disabled soldier who had retired from the battlefield.
Thanks to the care of his superiors and his own military achievements, the government arranged a job for his wife at a grain station.
The couple has never had children in their life. Now they are old. Uncle Yongsheng lost a hand and a foot when he was young, and coupled with various hidden diseases, he spends half a year in bed.
Although the couple could still receive some government subsidies every month, in this era when just having enough to eat was considered a blessing, it was not easy to get good things to nourish the body.
Aunt Mei also has to take care of her husband at home all the time, and it is not easy for her to take leave from the grain station every few days.
So she often had to run back and forth between the grain station and home, and her body couldn't take it anymore.
By chance, the two met in the black market, and Chen Chuntao said that she helped Aunt Mei get a batch of food.
Aunt Mei also happened to want to step down, and the two of them had feelings for each other.
The deal was quickly made, and Chen Chuntao paid another four hundred yuan to buy the work from Aunt Mei.
Su Qingci's eyes flashed with understanding. No wonder not long after she and Shen Chuntao finished their transaction, she ran over with an empty basket to give her sausages and bacon.
Working at the grain station is indeed a good job, but in this remote town, the salary is not high.
Four hundred yuan plus the price of that basket of grain on the black market meant that Chen Chuntao worked for at least the first three years for nothing.
The advantage is that the job at that time was hereditary, like the throne in ancient times. Not only could it be passed on to future generations, but it could also change the family.
In Shen Chuntao's eyes, she had gotten a great deal. If it weren't for Aunt Mei's desire for the more than 100 kilograms of fine grains and meat, she wouldn't have gotten 600 yuan, let alone 400 yuan.
