Aunt Jia was arguing with Wobo'er (a laborer working in the old city, specializing in moving large items).
"This sewing machine of mine is very expensive. You have to be careful with it. If you break it, you won't be able to pay for it."
"Sister, you originally told me that you would charge fifty cents for delivering the goods to my home, but now you say you are only willing to pay twenty cents. What do you mean?" Wobo'er was also annoyed and refused to deliver the goods.
"Send the sewing machine to my house first and then we can discuss this." Aunt Jia's eyes rolled. She was the one who was stupid in this matter. If she had known earlier, she would have let this idiot deliver the things to her house first before arguing with him.
Otherwise, if he left the sewing machine on the roadside and didn't deliver it, how would Qin Huairu and I get it back?
She only wants to spend 20 cents now, and she wants to use the remaining 30 cents to buy a string of firecrackers to celebrate.
She wanted everyone in the courtyard to come and see that it was not only Liu Xiaojun's family that could afford a sewing machine, but her Jia family could too.
Currently, only his family and Liu Xiaojun's family have bought sewing machines in the entire courtyard. This means that his family and Liu Xiaojun's family are at the same living standard and are both upper-class residents of the courtyard!
Aunt Jia couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't wait to see everyone envy her.
Seeing that Wobo'er across the street refused to give in, Aunt Jia didn't want to argue anymore. She carefully took out fifty cents from a small black square handkerchief and handed it to Wobo'er with disdain.
"Hey, hey, here's the money. You're really a hanged ghost reincarnated, so anxious!"
Aunt Jia threw out fifty cents in annoyance, too lazy to argue with the man.
Woboer was also anxious: "It's you who is so unreasonable. You even cursed me to die and be reborn. I also cursed your son to die early!"
When Aunt Jia heard this, she became anxious and was about to continue scolding, but Qin Huairu, who was holding the stick behind her, couldn't help but speak.
"Mom, please stop talking. Dongxu will be back soon, and we need to go back early to cook for him."
Aunt Jia changed her mind and stopped arguing.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you!"
Having said that, he walked home excitedly.
Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, she bought a small string of firecrackers and decided to start setting off firecrackers as soon as she reached the door. She wanted to let everyone know that their Jia family bought a sewing machine!
When the firecrackers go off, everyone will come out to envy her!
Soon, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Aunt Jia lit the firecrackers in her hand...
At the same time, everyone in the hospital was waiting with heavy hearts for Aunt Jia to come back and announce the sad news that Jia Dongxu was dead.
Instead of Aunt Jia arriving, firecrackers arrived first.
“Crackle—!”
After a burst of firecrackers, everyone saw the beaming Aunt Jia, followed by Qin Huairu, who also had a beaming face...
