Chapter 379 Wang Lijuan takes back the jewelry
After talking for a while, Lu Jingshen asked Sanluzi to take his men back first. Fang Lan'e also had to go back to busy herself with some inspections before closing the store. Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen said goodbye to them and went home.
The next afternoon, Lin Xiaoxia went to the department store and bought two new clothes for her parents-in-law. They were going to put up the roof beams at the weekend, so they had to dress more elegantly.
At the age of my parents-in-law, it is enough for them to wear clothes that are more popular. If they are too special, they will not be comfortable wearing them. Therefore, Lin Xiaoxia basically buys them clothes that are of good quality and ordinary style.
Afterwards, I bought some good candy balls and chocolates. In addition to good cigarettes and wine on the day of raising the beam, I also wanted to provide the children who were sitting at the table with some sources of joy. After all, the scale and luxury of this house was the largest in the whole village.
Because the factory buildings were large and numerous, and the residential buildings were two-story buildings, and high-rise buildings were rarely built in rural areas in the north, the construction period was much longer than that of a normal house. In addition, many craftsmen were doing this for the first time and had to figure it out.
Moreover, there are only a few good bricklayers and carpenters in a village, and not all of them can come to work in their house. Their workload is several times more than that of ordinary people building a house, so it takes much longer.
Anyway, the rainy season in the north starts in mid-July, so it’s fine as long as the work can be completed before the rainy season.
When such a large factory was built, the township paid close attention to it because it would boost the local economy. In fact, the township head would also benefit from it. If the township economy was good, the township head would also be able to hold his position securely.
Now Lu Guojiu is considered a big shot in the village, completely different from before.
At this time, Wang Lijuan was also shopping in the farmers' market. She took a leave this afternoon because she wanted to go home to get back her jewelry. It was a gift from Lin Xiao. It was not just about the money, the meaning was more important, and of course it was also her attitude.
She thought of a countermeasure and bought some live river shrimps and loaches. Wang Changfa liked to eat these. He would drink a little wine and eat the fried river shrimps and braised loaches.
At this time in the afternoon, Ma Lanfang was the only one at home. Both of these things were alive. She took them back, broke the bag, and spilled them on the ground. Then Ma Lanying would have to clean them up. While Ma Lanfang was cleaning up, she would sneak into the bedroom and take the things out.
After making the plan, Wang Lijuan took the things to Wang Changfa's house.
I don’t know why, but when I came to this place where I had lived for many years again, I felt weird. It was different from before. I used to have that feeling of closeness and familiarity, but now I just want to finish my work quickly and leave with my things.
She knocked on the door while holding the fish and shrimp, and sure enough, it was Ma Lanying who opened the door.
Ma Lanying was stunned when she saw Wang Lijuan. She was very surprised: "You, why are you here?"
Wang Lijuan said, "Mom, I made you and my dad angry before, and I feel really bad about it. I think that after all, I'm the younger generation and shouldn't argue with you, so I didn't go to work this afternoon and bought some river shrimp and loaches for my dad, which he likes to eat."
Ma Lanfang was quite happy to hear what Wang Lijuan said, "We are talking about you for your own good. Just know it, come in."
Wang Lijuan carried the bag into the house and took it directly to the kitchen. She then secretly cut two cuts on the bottom of the bag with the knife she had prepared earlier. The loaches slipped away and fell all over the kitchen floor.
Wang Lijuan cried out in pain.
Ma Lanying ran over when she heard the noise: "Look at how clumsy you are, clean it up quickly."
Wang Lijuan said, "Mom, please help me clean up first. I just came out of the office and drank too much water. I can't hold it anymore. I need to go to the bathroom first."
"A lazy mule will produce a lot of shit and urine, hurry up." Ma Lanying reluctantly took the basin and picked up the loaches on the ground, muttering as she picked them up. The main reason was that the loaches were slippery and difficult to catch.
Wang Lijuan had just left the kitchen when the door opened and Wang Changfa came in. After he was laid off, he found a temporary job. Since there was less work today, he left work early.
Seeing Wang Lijuan, Wang Changfa was also a little surprised: "Why are you back?"
Wang Lijuan was so depressed. She had made good plans and wanted to go into the house to get her jewelry and leave quickly, but she didn't expect Wang Changfa to come back at this time.
She looked at the empty wine bottles on the windowsill and came up with a new idea: "Dad, I was wrong to quarrel with you before. Today I bought you some loaches and river shrimps to apologize. After all, this is my mother's family and they are my support."
Then she took out another twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Wang Changfa: "Dad, I was carrying things just now and forgot to buy you some wine. Go buy two bottles of good wine and two boxes of cigarettes. I accidentally spilled some loaches on the floor just now. I need to go to the bathroom and help my mother clean up the kitchen."
Wang Changfa took the money and was in a good mood thinking about the delicious food in the evening: "It's good that you know you are wrong. I'll go buy some wine. I haven't changed my shoes yet." After saying that, he took the money and went out.
Wang Lijuan hurried to the bathroom door, pretended to open and close it, then entered the south bedroom, found the cabinet key in the pillow on the bed, opened the cabinet, found her jewelry, put it in her pocket, then quickly put the things back in place, locked the cabinet door, and put the key back.
"Lijuan, what are you doing? Why are you so hesitant? Why did you come into the house?" Ma Lanying walked in.
Wang Lijuan clenched her fists nervously: "Mom, I saw that the dress you wore a few days ago was very nice. I thought I would buy you another one of that style when I get my bonus in a few days."
Ma Lanying was delighted when she heard this: "Which one? I'll find it for you."
Wang Lijuan saw a green dress hanging on the wall and quickly said, "That's it. I've seen it. I'll buy it for you in a few days. Is the kitchen clean? I'll help you clean it."
"It's cleaned up, you just need to mop the floor." Ma Lanying said.
Wang Lijuan got her things and wanted to leave immediately, so she said to Ma Lanying, "Mom, I just remembered that I forgot to put a file in the cabinet at my unit. If I lose it, I'll be in trouble. I have to go back quickly."
Ma Lanying was still happy that Wang Lijuan was going to buy her some clothes, so her attitude wasn't that bad: "You've been so irritable all day, go back quickly."
Wang Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief, ran downstairs, took a taxi and went home.
After getting in the taxi, she looked at the jewelry in her pocket and breathed a sigh of relief. She finally got it back. This time she was finally at ease and didn't have to have too much involvement with them anymore.
When Wang Changfa returned, he didn't think too much about it, because they thought that Wang Lijuan was divorced and had no one to rely on, so she was afraid and took the initiative to come back and say good things.
Of course, they didn't care where Wang Lijuan lived after she moved out. She could apply for a dormitory or rent a house anyway. She had a salary, so as long as she didn't come back to live permanently, it would be fine. Otherwise, neighbors and relatives would laugh at her family if they knew she was divorced.
However, the couple also agreed that Wang Lijuan's money would have to be handed over to her parents' home for safekeeping.
