Actually, this incident was Lin Xue testing the Wang family!
It is said that those who have different views cannot work together, so she had to see the attitude of the Wang family, after all, there was also her second uncle who was the brigade leader.
She wanted to see if the Wang family was willing to risk their lives to live a life of luxury, or if they were so selfless as to share their benefits with the entire village.
Or perhaps they would keep her belongings and leave the proceeds from the sale in the old house.
She wasn't worried no matter how the old house reacted.
She only needs to adjust her attitude towards the old house based on how it was done.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as Lin Xue was about to fall asleep, lost in thought, there was a knock on her front door.
"who?"
Instead of opening the door abruptly, she hid behind it and asked in a low voice.
"It's me!"
Outside the door was another person speaking in a low voice; Lin Xue knew who it was just by hearing the voice.
"Guoqing, why are you back at this time?"
Lin Xue was somewhat surprised to see who had arrived.
Wasn't this person supposed to be working in town? Why did he come back?
"It was only after my older brother went to town that I found out what you and Mother had done!"
"I came back with you after I finished processing the meat with my older brother. I was worried about you, so I had to leave before midnight!"
Back inside, Wang Guoqing pulled Lin Xue over to check her over again. Seeing that she was really alright, he finally felt relieved!
"Xue Ni, promise me! Don't go on any more dangerous trips, okay? You have to believe that I can support you and your three children!"
Wang Guoqing held Lin Xue's hand, feeling both heartache and fear.
He had finally managed to change his ways, and things had finally calmed down at home. He didn't want this hard-won happiness to be ruined.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do!"
Lin Xue didn't take Wang Guoqing's words to heart.
But seeing the other person's darkened expression, she still gave them some face.
"Okay, okay, I won't go again!"
There was no way she wouldn't go. Anyway, she already knew where the prey was processed. She would just go alone and not let them know.
"These are the money and coupons from selling wild boar meat. Keep them safe. Buy whatever you need or want at home!"
Seeing that Lin Xue had agreed, Wang Guoqing stuffed a roll of banknotes into her hand.
"so much?"
Looking at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand, Lin Xue's first reaction was, "How come there are so many?"
Upon closer inspection, however, there were many small change notes, including one-yuan and several-mao notes, and even one-cent notes were not uncommon.
However, the few large black ten cards wrapped on the outside really caught her eye.
"Let's count them?"
Wang Guoqing could tell from her bright, sparkling eyes that she was happy.
"Um!"
Untie the rope wrapped around the money and then set the various notes aside separately.
"Pork is now 86 cents a pound at the supply and marketing cooperative, and you still need a coupon!"
"Our wild boar meat is 1.1 yuan per jin without coupons, and 1 yuan per jin with coupons (regardless of type), and it's all sold out!"
Watching Lin Xue diligently counting her money, Wang Guoqing explained the recent meat prices to her.
Don't ask why it's still only one yuan even with a ration coupon; it's because pork isn't easy to buy even with coupons.
The daily supply is limited, and there are more people queuing than pork. Most people can't buy meat, and these are people who have ration coupons and queue at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Everyone says that everyone wants to move to the city, but I think city people have a hard time even getting a vegetable. Apart from having a fixed salary, they are not as comfortable as us rural people!"
If we really have to compare them, each has its own advantages.
With money, you can live comfortably anywhere; without money, you'll be treated like a servant wherever you go.
Lin Xue felt that the most important thing was to make a living so that she could buy a few houses in big cities in the future, which would guarantee her a comfortable life in her later years!
Of course, she didn't plan to tell Wang Guoqing any of this right now, since she was just a rural woman who hadn't received much education.
The few characters I knew were learned when the village forced villagers to attend literacy classes.
How much knowledge and experience can a rural woman who has never traveled far from home have?
"Here's a total of 215 yuan and 67 cents. I won't mention the change. Send 100 yuan to the old house later."
"This time, selling meat was our mother's idea, and my eldest and second eldest brothers helped out."
"Of course, I hunted the wild boar, so I can only give them half of the money from the sale!"
Lin Xue was willing to help the old house, but she couldn't let herself suffer a loss.
Hunting is dangerous, and so is selling things, so it's best if each family shares the risk.
Since the family hadn't divided their property at the old house yet, Lin Xue felt that her calculations were correct.
Pay less money, but take more receipts, it won't make a difference!
During the day, she saw her two children come home wearing slightly worn clothes. Her sister-in-law must have altered them.
These days, unless you have a close relationship, no one would be willing to give away even old clothes.
"My eldest and second eldest brothers said that you hunted this wild boar, so they don't want any money! The bones and meat left behind are enough for their whole family to eat for a long time!"
Wang Guoqing had previously tried to share money with his two older brothers, but they both refused to accept it.
He knew in his heart that it was his two older brothers who were taking care of him. They knew that their little family was still struggling and were worried that they wouldn't be able to make ends meet.
Worried that Lin Xue would be unhappy if the money was divided, he took all the money and tickets back.
He had been thinking about how to bring it up, but now that Lin Xue had spoken up first, he felt embarrassed.
