Chapter 569: A spendthrift woman can’t spend her money like this



Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "Doctor Jiang, you will be paid in the future."

"You are my sister, you don't have to pay me."

Tian Wenjun was amused by Jiang Wan's words.

However, Tian Wenjun's goal was not to set up a street stall, but the restaurant behind him.

You know, once the restaurant is contracted, the county will immediately undergo a major renovation, with a large number of workers and architects moving in. As long as the restaurant's food is delicious, the annual income will not be underestimated.

Right now, I don’t know whether this news is reliable.

Even though she made some money from her street stall this time, it was far from enough for her.

In the compound, someone had seen Tian Wenjun setting up a stall a long time ago. After the sun came out in the afternoon these two days, several women stood in the yard discussing this matter.

"Tell me, does Captain Chen know that his wife is selling things on the street?"

"This has been put up for almost a month. Captain Chen must know about it."

"Is this considered speculation?"

When Feng Xiujuan came out, she just heard these women talking about this.

Feng Xiujuan said: "What kind of speculation is this?

That person is upright and uses his brain.

It’s not two years ago now, the policies have been relaxed, you can set up a street stall if you want.”

These people laughed and said, "You are on her side now."

Feng Xiujuan said: "I am not on her side, I am on the side of reason.

You guys shouldn't talk nonsense here."

"We're not talking nonsense, we're just talking casually."

"Just saying."

These women knew that Feng Xiujuan was now on Tian Wenjun's side in everything, so they immediately ended the topic.

Someone saw that she only brought Niuniu out and asked, "Where is your Xiaobao?"

Feng Xiujuan said, "This kid was doing homework with Xueqin and her brother and sister a while ago, and was scolded and cried. He has been writing Chinese characters in his room these past two days."

The women smiled and said, "Oh, your little treasure has finally come to his senses. Xueqin's two siblings are the best students in our compound."

Feng Xiujuan said, "Who knows if he's smart or not? I'm illiterate, and his father is also a rough man with little education. We don't expect him to learn a lot, but we'll be thankful if he behaves well and stays healthy and doesn't cause any trouble for us."

The women smiled and stood there for a while, but then went back because it was too cold.

After finishing her work that day, Tian Wenjun and Jiang Wan bought a lot of things. On their way back, they saw a villager selling donkey skins on the roadside.

The elder brother was wearing a woolen coat and a large felt hat. He had his hands tucked into his sleeves and his nose was red from the cold.

Tian Wenjun paused and took a step forward.

"Brother, how much do you want to sell this donkey skin?"

The eldest brother said, "Take the twenty dollars."

Brother, you've been standing here all morning, and the donkey skin has become frozen hard.

Tian Wenjun took out twenty dollars and gave it to him without hesitation.

"Brother, I bought this donkey skin. Can you help me put it in a sack and send it to the bus of the troops ahead?"

The elder brother did not expect Tian Wenjun to be so straightforward. He did not expect to sell it in the first place, but he did not expect that someone would actually buy it.

Jiang Wan, who was standing by, reached out and touched Tian Wenjun, whispering, "Sister, why did you buy it? It stinks."

Tian Wenjun smiled and said, "You'll know when you get back."

The man smiled and put the donkey skin into a sack, and helped Tian Wenjun carry it to the car.

Tian Wenjun and Jiang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting in the car.

Just now, she wanted to go see He Damei, but she didn't know what to bring.

Since they gave her so much pork, she had to bring some valuable gifts.

Just now, I bought a donkey skin and went back to make donkey-hide gelatin cake.

This works for Damei.

The car stopped at the gate of the compound, and a young comrade on duty at the gate ran over to help Tian Wenjun.

Tian Wenjun had never seen him before. The young man looked to be about 1.8 meters tall, with three-dimensional and regular facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he looked childish, probably about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He ran over and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you carry it back."

In a trance, Tian Wenjun suddenly thought of Zhao Erdan.

I don’t know whether this brat and Zhang Xiwa have returned.

Tian Wenjun said: "Thank you, little comrade, what is your name?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm Zhao Yong, you can be my Xiaoyong."

"Thank you for helping me."

"It's okay, sister-in-law."

Tian Wenjun herself didn't know that because of her three children, she didn't know these new recruits, but privately these new recruits all knew her.

Zhao Yong sent Tian Wenjun to the door before leaving.

Feng Xueqin heard Tian Wenjun's voice and quickly opened the door.

As the two of them entered the house carrying their things, Jiang Wan asked, "Sister, why did you buy such a big piece of donkey skin?"

"I'll make some donkey-hide gelatin cakes. They're good for your health."

Jiang Wan finally reacted.

But, is donkey-hide gelatin made from donkey skin?

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Then I'll help you."

Tian Wenjun smiled and did not refuse, because the donkey skin was indeed fishy and smelly when processed.

Tian Wenjun rested for a while and then took the donkey skin to the bathroom for disposal.

Jiang Wan stood at the bathroom door. She held her breath, took a look, and quickly turned back.

When she came again, she wrapped herself tightly, with a white surgical cap on her head, gloves on her hands, and the only thing missing was a pair of rain boots on her feet.

Tian Wenjun squatted on the cement floor and giggled. Jiang Wan also put one on Tian Wenjun.

It was not until lunchtime that the two men finally cleaned the donkey skin.

Chen Jianguo led his men to run away for five days. When they came back, they smelled a fishy smell as soon as they opened the door. Just then, Tian Wenjun and Jiang Wan each held a ceramic basin with meat skin in it.

Chen Jianguo asked, "Which garbage dump did you two pick up this piece of meat skin from?"

Tian Wenjun clicked her tongue and glared at Chen Jianguo with a gloomy look.

"If you don't understand, don't talk. Go pick up a donkey skin from the garbage dump for me and try."

Jiang Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Brother Chen, this is the donkey skin my sister bought at the county town's Xishi for twenty yuan."

When Chen Jianguo heard this, he thought to himself: What a spendthrift woman! You can't spend your money like this. A donkey skin cost him ten days' salary.

"You've been cheated, haven't you? Which bastard did this? I'm going to settle the score with him now."

Tian Wenjun knew that this was the catchphrase in his heart.

She glanced at him and said calmly, "If you want to help, then help. If not, go to the cafeteria and get food for the children. I won't be able to cook for you tonight."

Chen Jianguo muttered, "We can't just eat donkey skin in the middle of the night."

“Who said this is for you to eat?

Stay aside."

Chen Jianguo:?

Tian Wenjun placed the ceramic basin on the table while the three children giggled beside her.

Jiang Wan also put the ceramic basin in her hand on the table: "Sister, I'm going to go back first. I'll come to help you tomorrow."

"You can come and play tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work, my dear sister. Go back and have a good rest at night. I will make you some donkey-hide gelatin cake later."

Only then did Chen Jianguo realize what his wife was going to do.

However, twenty yuan for a donkey skin is indeed a bit expensive.

In Tian Wenjun's opinion, it is actually not expensive at all.

You have to know that the price of donkey-hide gelatin is calculated by gram, and you can't buy much donkey-hide gelatin with twenty yuan at a Chinese medicine hospital.
