Chapter 34 Buying Cloth Coupons
Sun Erni took a close look at her second daughter-in-law and thought that when Xin Bai's belly got too big and she couldn't go to work, this would be a good candidate to take over.
"Oh, she went to work. You see, Xinbai is ambitious. From now on, you two sisters-in-law should help out with the housework. We are all family, so don't be so calculating."
Su Qiuyan's expression changed, and she replied with a forced smile: "Mom is right, Xinbai just got pregnant, so we have to be careful. Don't worry, Mom, my sister-in-law and I will help out, right, sister-in-law?" After saying that, she pushed Li Huifen.
Li Huifen nodded reluctantly. Really, she acted like she had never been pregnant before. Why was it necessary for her to be so nervous? It was only two or three months, and the baby was still a long way off. If she was really so worried, she could skip the shift. Right, go to work...
Thinking of this, Li Huifen stared at Su Qiuyan with sparkling eyes, "Qiuyan, come to my room, I have something to discuss with you."
"Hey, Huifen, why didn't you go to work today?" Sun Erni was so happy just now that she didn't react for a while. Now when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law still at home, she started to feel puzzled.
Li Huifen replied without even turning her head: "It's a day off. Mom, go get busy. We have something to do."
Sun Erni looked at their backs and felt puzzled. They were so mysterious and were really looking for trouble.
In the room, Li Huifen pulled Su Qiuyan to sit down, "Qiuyan, I am your best friend, so I always think of you when there is something good. You see, we all have morning sickness when we are pregnant, and my third sister-in-law is no exception. If she can't go to work because of morning sickness, we have to find someone to take her place. Now your chance has come."
Su Qiuyan was a little hesitant when she heard this, "That's not necessarily true, sister-in-law. Besides, even if I have morning sickness, it won't last long. I'll get over it if I persist. I..." In fact, she was also looking forward to taking over for Jiang Xinbai. After all, it would be better for her than for others to benefit from it.
"Oh, you are so stubborn. It will be five months after her morning sickness is over. By then, you will just let her rest at home and wait until she gives birth. Isn't it a year to go back and forth? Eighteen yuan a month, plus some bills, you can make about two hundred yuan a year. Do you think it is cost-effective?"
If she didn't have a job, Li Huifen would never let Su Qiuyan get away with it.
"Also, you see, my third sister-in-law hasn't given birth yet, but mom is so concerned about her. If she really gives birth to the eldest grandson of the Yang family, you'll see that the two of us won't even have a place to stand, and who knows who will get the house for free."
If you want to know why Li Huifen is afraid that Jiang Xinbai will give birth to a boy, it is because of this house. Now her family and the second brother's family have no sons. If the third brother's family gives birth to a son, then the parents-in-law will definitely favor the third brother's family. How can they not worry?
These words touched Su Qiuyan's heart. She had been looking forward to having another child day and night, just to prove herself. Now that she couldn't prove herself, she could only look for benefits elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Su Qiuyan's mind turned a few more circles, and she whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you think we should find a place to worship?"
"Pray?" Li Huifen thought about it and decided, yes, she should pray, but maybe she didn't pray to the right god.
"Okay, let's go together sometime."
…
"Second sister, why are you here?" Jiang Xinbai saw Jiang Xinlan waiting outside the hotel just after getting off work, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"How can I come? You silly girl, you didn't even tell me that you were pregnant." Jiang Xinlan stretched out her finger and tapped her sister's forehead.
"Second sister, how did you know?"
"It's not just me. I guess our entire compound knows about it. Your mother-in-law has done nothing the whole day but promote you." Jiang Xinlan was also a little helpless. This put a lot of pressure on her sister.
"..." Jiang Xinbai was speechless. He really didn't know what to say about his mother-in-law.
"You can't come to me just for this, can you?"
"Of course not," Jiang Xinlan shook her head, then pulled her sister to a corner and whispered, "Do you want some cloth coupons?"
"Cloth coupons?" Jiang Xinbai looked at his fifth sister in confusion, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? But where did you get the cloth coupons?"
Jiang Xinlan shook her head and explained, "It's not me. Well, I just know someone who has some fabrics at home and wants to exchange them for some money."
"Exchange for money? Second sister, you don't have a fever, do you? Why would anyone want to exchange cloth for money? The worst that can be done is to exchange for food coupons, right?" Jiang Xinbai didn't believe that there was such a stupid person. You need tickets to buy anything now. Tickets are the most important thing, and money is secondary.
"No, no, come on, stop talking nonsense. Do you want it or not? If you want, I'll take you there." Jiang Xinlan said and looked around quietly.
Jiang Xinbai looked at her thief-like posture and became even more worried. "Second sister, is the ticket dirty? Although I really want it, I'd better not give it up."
Jiang Xinlan rolled her eyes at her. "The ticket isn't registered, so how can it be clean or not? Stop talking nonsense. Just one word. Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, I'll go by myself."
"Forget it, I'll go with you." Jiang Xinbai thought about it but still couldn't let go. What if there is such a stupid person?
Then he followed Jiang Xinlan to a small bungalow with a separate entrance. She knocked on the door gently, "Aunt He, are you home?"
With a creak, the door opened a little, revealing a pair of bright eyes. After seeing Jiang Xinlan standing in front of him, he opened the door and moved sideways to make a path for them.
Entering the yard, Jiang Xinbai hugged her sister's arm and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you sure it's reliable?"
"Everyone is here and you're still asking so many questions. Don't say anything." Jiang Xinlan is no longer the Jiang Xinlan of the past. Ever since she was taken to the black market by her sister, she has become much bolder. Now she dares to find a way on her own.
"Jiang Jie is here." A young girl in her 18s or 19s in the room stood up with a smile, "Xiao Xing, pour a cup of hot water for the two sisters."
"Hey, no, no, we'll leave after we're done, you're welcome."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. By the way, Sister Jiang, who is this?" Li Fengyue looked at Jiang Xinbai curiously and asked.
"Oh, she is my biological sister. Don't worry, she won't tell anyone anything."
Li Fengxing smiled a little embarrassedly, "Jiang Jie, you know I need to be careful..."
Jiang Xinlan nodded, "I see. Well, didn't you say last time that you had some cloth coupons to sell? Do you still have them now?"
"Yes, Sister Jiang, you saved my mother, so I won't be rude to you. Just give me a one-foot cloth coupon. What do you think?"
In fact, Li Fengyue could sell these cloth coupons at a higher price on the black market, but that was too risky, and she was in a hurry to use the money. Most importantly, these cloth coupons had marks on them, so it was generally difficult to sell them.
