Gu Wenqing neither nodded nor shook her head and tried to push her away, but Ye Baozhu refused to let go. "Do you dislike me? I am yours now, and we are getting married soon, and you still look so reluctant?"
Although Gu Wenqing hated her, he couldn't go too far since he had just taken her money. He forced himself to pull the corner of his mouth and said, "No, I'm just tired."
Ye Baozhu believed him and grinned, "Then I'll kiss you. If I kiss you, you won't be tired!"
Seeing that her mouth was about to kiss him, Gu Wenqing covered her mouth with his hand, "Baozhu, do you brush your teeth regularly?"
Ye Baozhu was stunned for a moment, "Brush your teeth?"
"Well, we city people brush our teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, so that there is no bad taste in our mouths."
No matter how dumb Ye Baozhu was, she understood what he meant. She quickly let go of him and put her hand to her mouth and blew twice, then sniffed, and then her face flushed, "Brother Wenqing, don't look down on me, I'll go back and buy a toothbrush now, and I'll brush my teeth every day from now on!"
Gu Wenqing moved his legs and hummed softly. After this, Ye Baozhu no longer dared to mention the kiss. She told him not to forget to send the telegram and went home.
As soon as he got home and saw Sun Erni, he asked for money.
"Mom, give me a dollar!"
"I was just going to ask you for a dollar! What kind of family are you? You just ask for a dollar!"
Sun Erni gave her a speechless look.
"Fifty cents is fine."
"What do you need so much money for? We are so poor, how can we afford to spend it on you?"
Ye Baozhu said impatiently, "I want to buy a toothbrush!"
Sun Erni was furious when she heard this. "You spendthrift, why did you buy that thing? Can you eat or drink it? If your dad heard it, he would beat you to death!"
"Can't I just brush my teeth?"
"Why are you brushing your teeth? I've lived for almost 40 years and I'm still fine without brushing my teeth. Who did you learn this bad habit from? I have so much money but nowhere to spend it!"
"I want to buy it. If I don't brush my teeth, my mouth will smell bad and people will look down on me. People in the city brush their teeth!"
Sun Erni didn't want to indulge her and yelled back, "Then go be a city dweller and brush your teeth as much as you want. I won't stop you even if you brush your teeth eight hundred times a day!"
Ye Baozhu was already in a bad mood because Gu Wenqing despised her. When she saw that she didn't give her money, she immediately got angry, "You buy everything Jianhua wants, but you can't even afford to buy me a toothbrush. You are so selfish!"
Sun Erni was so angry that she laughed, "How can you be the same as Jianhua? Jianhua is a son, and you are a girl who will get married sooner or later. I feel it's a loss if I spend an extra penny on you! Don't talk nonsense to me, feed the pigs quickly, you don't come home every day, running around all day, which girl is like you!"
Since the separation of the family, most of the housework has been on her shoulders alone. The daughter-in-law is pregnant for more than five months and she certainly can't let her do heavy work. The daughter doesn't listen to her and runs out all day. She is almost exhausted from serving the whole family every day. This little bastard wants money without helping. It's just a dream.
Seeing that she didn't give her money, Ye Baozhu stamped her feet, snorted, and turned into the house. Sun Erni didn't think much about it at first, but after a few seconds she suddenly felt something was wrong. She followed her into the house and saw that the damn girl was rummaging through her things.
"You want to die, you damned girl! This is really outrageous!"
Ye Baozhu ignored her and took the money and ran out. Sun Erni reached out and grabbed her, raised her hand and slapped her on the back twice. Ye Baozhu struggled desperately, but young people are better than others, and she broke free in a few seconds and ran out of the door. Sun Erni chased her for a long time but couldn't catch up, so she took off her shoes and threw them at her.
"You damned girl, if you have the guts, don't come back, I will break your legs today!"
Ye Baozhu ran quickly with the money in her pocket, and only stopped and gasped for breath when she realized that Sun Erni was no longer behind her.
"Phew, I'm so tired. Do you think I can do nothing if you don't pay me? Humph!"
Ye Baozhu smiled happily as she looked at the one dollar and an industrial voucher in her hand. After she bought a toothbrush and brushed her teeth, Brother Wen Qing would no longer mind the taste in her mouth, and they could kiss each other. Thinking of this, she shyly covered her face and giggled.
"Comrade, I want to buy a toothbrush!"
Ye Baozhu came to the commune supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the daily necessities counter.
The salesperson took a toothbrush from the cabinet behind him and handed it to her, "Do you want toothpaste?"
"Toothpaste? What's that?"
The saleswoman chuckled, "How can you brush your teeth without toothpaste when you buy a toothbrush? These are used together." She then took out a tube of toothpaste and showed it to Ye Baozhu, "This is the toothpaste. Every time you brush your teeth, squeeze a little on the head of the toothbrush and put it in your mouth to brush. There will be foam. When you are done, just rinse it off with water."
This salesperson had a much better temper than the one Ye Qing met in the county town. He did not look down on Ye Baozhu, but instead explained things to her.
When Ye Baozhu heard this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, comrade. How much do these two things cost together?"
"It's fifty-five cents in total, two cents for the toothbrush, thirty-five cents for the toothpaste, and an industrial coupon."
When Ye Baozhu heard this, she was very glad that she took the dollar.
I paid the money and ticket, took my things and went home.
孙二妮虽然也疼闺女但是今天叶宝珠这事岁按时触碰到她的底线了，可想而知叶宝珠回到家迎面就是劈头盖脸的一顿打骂，不过东西买到手了挨顿揍她也觉得值了。
"You little bastard, you are not allowed to eat tonight! If you don't earn back the money you spent today, I will skin you alive!"
No one in the family spoke up for Ye Baozhu when she was beaten, because she had touched the interests of the whole family. She spent 55 cents and an industrial voucher, and what she bought was useless stuff. If she had bought eggs, she could have bought seven or eight. Anyone would have been angry.
After being beaten up, the man became obedient. Ye Baozhu wiped her tears and dared not say a word of rebuttal.
Since there was no dinner anyway, Ye Baozhu thought about it and decided to endure the pain and go to the kitchen with her newly bought toothbrush and toothpaste. She scooped a bowl of water, squatted on a stone in the yard, and began to squeeze the toothpaste and brush her teeth according to the method taught by the salesperson.
Sun Erni came out of the house just in time to see her foaming at the mouth. Her pupils suddenly shrank and she rushed over, hugged Ye Baozhu and shook her.
"Baozhu! What happened to you? Don't scare me!"
"Gudong~"
Ye Baozhu didn't know how to brush her teeth the first time, and she tried hard not to swallow the toothpaste in her mouth. However, Sun Erni's movement scared her and she swallowed the toothpaste.
When the people in the room heard Sun Erni's screams so frighteningly, they all rushed out to check. As a result, they were almost scared to death when they saw Ye Baozhu foaming at the mouth. They quickly surrounded her. After all, this was a human life, and no matter how cruel they were, they could not remain indifferent.
