"Grandma's buying gold again, how much is it this time?"
"Buy it, and exchange it while you're at it."
Yang Yufen took off the gold bracelet from her wrist.
"Your bracelet is very well made, why do you want to exchange it?"
Xiao Li was puzzled.
"They're too eye-catching. Help me change them all to smaller styles."
“What about gold bars, gold beans, or these? Please take a look, ma’am.”
"How are these prices calculated?"
Yang Yufen took a look.
“These are simple, there’s no labor fee, just the weight. These are made to look nice, so the labor fee is a little higher. You can decide what style you want.”
Yang Yufen looked at them and finally chose two small gold bars, replacing the rest with gold beans. This way, they wouldn't be easily noticed when sewn into the clothes. Looks are not as important as practicality.
The 30-gram bracelet, with some added money, became two 20-gram gold bars, and then there were fifteen small gold beads, each weighing one gram.
After all that, the money was almost gone, but Yang Yufen didn't mind. She got a copper bracelet, wrapped it with a red string, and put it back on her wrist.
"Auntie, come visit me when you have time!"
"Okay, okay."
Yang Yufen readily agreed.
With the remaining money, I bought some things at the supply and marketing cooperative, mostly food.
Shen Xianjun successfully received his allowance in advance, then went to the military hospital for a check-up. After the check-up, he also went to see his uncle.
"The army is here. They were just talking about you with your mother."
"Auntie, let me help you."
Shen Xianjun helped Ershun wipe his body.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm going back to my unit tomorrow, so I won't be able to come and pick you and my second brother up for the transfer to another hospital in person. But I've already asked someone to come and help, so don't worry."
"Okay, okay, you take care of yourself too."
When Shen Xianjun returned home, Yang Yufen had also returned and was killing a chicken.
"Mom, isn't killing two chickens too much? It's hot, and we might not be able to finish them."
Shen Xianjun looked at the chicken in the basin that had already died.
"Send one to your in-laws."
Yang Yufen poured hot water into the basin, and Shen Xianjun obediently handed over the money to Yang Yufen, then squatted down to pluck chicken feathers.
"Alright, go and rest. You can deliver it after you've finished packing."
Yang Yufen put the money away and chased the person away.
Shen Xianjun was shocked; his mother had changed her personality!
Shen Xianjun thought for a moment, then tentatively moved his feet, only to find that his mother didn't even look up at him until he went inside and looked back again and again.
When he saw the food on the table, he suddenly realized that he had definitely benefited from his wife's kindness.
If he had known earlier that his mother would treat him better if he married a wife, then... never mind, he wouldn't have married so early.
Shen Xianjun went back to his room and started packing his things.
He didn't have much to begin with; it was mainly a pile of books and notes he had taken.
After he finished getting ready, Yang Yufen called him.
"After dropping off the child, I'll pick him up too."
Yang Yufen stuffed the basket into Chen Xianjun's hands, placing the chicken at the bottom and putting some green vegetables on top.
Yang Yufen put the chicken in the pot to stew before she started counting the money. This money was enough for daily expenses and emergencies.
Qin Nian was leaving get off work when she was stopped by someone.
"Comrade Qin, what happened before was my mother's fault. She shouldn't have involved you. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother, and I hope you can forgive me."
Wang Aimin stopped Qin Nian.
Having witnessed Yang Yufen's fighting prowess, he dared not visit her.
“You don’t need to apologize to me, and I won’t forgive you for anything. The matter has been made clear. If you want to apologize, you should apologize to your wife.”
Qin Nian didn't want to say anything more to the person in front of her, so she walked around them and tried to leave.
"Comrade Xiao Qin, why do you have to be like this? We work together, why do you have to nitpick over such a small thing? Besides, the problem with my family is that your mother-in-law was eavesdropping. My mother is just an old woman from the countryside, and people from the countryside are stubborn. I will talk to her myself."
