Chapter 96 Is Xu Runli mentally ill?
As Yun Tangyin stepped into the supply and marketing cooperative, she heard Xu Runli's signature shrill voice: "Sister Wang, you have to save this lake blue Dacron for me. It makes me look the brightest."
Without stopping, she walked straight to the seasoning area, picked up the salt shaker and scooped it into the cloth bag.
"Hey, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of the Fu family?" Xu Runli came over in small steps, deliberately waving the cloth in her hand in front of Yun Tangyin's eyes, "Is this enough to buy this little salt? The Fu family is so tight on money that they can't even afford soy sauce?"
Yun Tangyin tied the salt bag and weighed it before slowly looking up. "Comrade Xu, if your eyesight isn't good, go to the health center. Isn't that just a soy sauce bottle I'm holding? And you, holding a piece of cloth and bragging about it, someone who doesn't know would think your husband bought it for you."
Sister Wang tried to smooth things over from behind the counter: "Runli means well, Yinyin, don't take it to heart."
"Good intentions?" Yun Tangyin sneered, "You call this good intentions? If Comrade Xu is so bored, why not go home and earn some more money so he doesn't have to worry about other people's lives?"
Xu Runli's face flushed red as she slammed the fabric on the counter. "Brother Yucheng and I are revolutionary comrades. What's wrong with talking a few more words? Unlike some people who want to be the boss right after getting married, without even considering whether they are worthy!"
"Whether it's suitable or not is up to the Fu family." Yun Tangyin took out the cloth coupons from her pocket and said, "Sister Wang, give me six feet of navy blue coarse cloth and two feet of red floral cloth."
Xu Runli glanced at the cloth coupons and said sourly, "Oh, you really think you're a young lady? Coarse cloth is only suitable for old women. If you have the guts, you can buy some Dacron."
"Dacron is delicate and won't last long." Yun Tangyin counted the change. "Unlike some people who like flashy things. Oh, by the way, Sister Wang, has the brown sugar I asked you to save arrived? My second sister-in-law has a cough, and she needs to stew Sichuan Fritillaria with brown sugar."
"I've been saving some for you." Sister Wang took out some brown sugar from under the counter. "It's new and even purer than the last time."
Xu Runli's eyes lit up: "Sister Wang, I want some brown sugar too!"
"There's no more. There's only this one package. Comrade Yun ordered it a long time ago." Sister Wang spread her hands.
"Why can she order it?" Xu Runli was anxious. "I'll pay double the price!"
"No matter how much money you have, the rules cannot be broken." Yun Tangyin picked up the brown sugar bag, "If Comrade Xu really needs brown sugar, he might as well remember that he hasn't returned the pound he borrowed from Aunt Li last time."
Several members who were shopping around started laughing. Xu Runli's face turned pale and blue. "What nonsense are you talking about? I paid it back a long time ago!"
"Oh?" Yun Tangyin raised an eyebrow. "Aunt Li told me the day before yesterday that someone pretended to have lost their memory after borrowing brown sugar. It seems I was mistaken."
Xu Runli was shaking with anger, pointing at Yun Tangyin's nose and saying, "Stop spitting blood! If you have the guts, let's go to the brigade headquarters and confront them!"
"Let's go." Yun Tangyin didn't give in. "By the way, let the captain give his opinion on whether it's proper for a married woman to always flirt with other people's husbands."
This touched Xu Runli's soft spot. She immediately wilted and stammered, "I...I was just saying it casually."
"Even if you say something casually, you should be tactful." Yun Tangyin picked up her things and walked towards the door. "Stop gossiping behind my back. It's not the place for outsiders to dictate what happens to the Fu family."
As soon as I walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw Fu Yucheng waiting at the door on a bicycle.
Seeing Yun Tangyin's expression was off, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
"Who else could it be?" Yun Tangyin put the things in the basket. "Xu Runli is talking nonsense again."
Fu Yucheng frowned: "What did she say again? I'm going to settle the score with her!"
"Forget it." Yun Tangyin held his arm. "It's cheap to argue with her. Besides, I've already fought back against her."
Fu Yucheng looked at her angrily and couldn't help laughing: "My mistress is really amazing. By the way, have you bought the cloth?"
"I bought it a long time ago." Yun Tangyin patted the cloth bag, "I'll cut it for Mom when I get home. I'll try to have it finished in three days."
As the two were talking, Xu Runli came out of the supply and marketing cooperative angrily. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, she couldn't help but shout again: "Brother Yucheng! You just let her bully others?"
Fu Yucheng turned around and glared at her: "Xu Runli, I'm warning you, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude! Yinyin is my wife, it's not up to outsiders to say anything!"
Xu Runli was stunned by his yelling. She watched the two of them ride away on their bicycles, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to chase them.
On the way, Fu Yucheng hugged Yun Tangyin tighter: "I'm sorry for wronging you. If you meet her again in the future, just ignore her."
"I'm not feeling wronged." Yun Tangyin leaned on his back. "To deal with someone like that, you have to be more powerful than her. Besides, I'm the mistress of the Fu family now, and I can't let people laugh at me."
Fu Yucheng chuckled: "Yes, yes, my mistress is the most majestic. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make you egg custard."
"Add dried shrimps." Yun Tangyin put her arm around his waist, "Make another bowl for Mom too. She's been complaining about a poor appetite lately."
"I'll do as you say."
Fu Yucheng sped up, and the bicycle bell jingled on the country road, like a string of cheerful notes.
When they got home, Yun Tangyin told Song Yushuang about the supply and marketing cooperative. The old lady was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Xu Runli is too outrageous! If she dares to come here again, I will go and scold her myself!"
Jiang Jianhua also chimed in: "Yinyin, you did the right thing. People like this deserve to be criticized."
Yu Xia nodded beside her: "She might have a mental problem now. Her words are incoherent and incomprehensible."
Yun Tangyin smiled and shook her head: "It's not worth getting angry with her. Mom, try this brown sugar. If it's good, I'll buy you more next time."
Song Yushuang touched the red sugar bun and smiled from ear to ear: "It's still my Yinyin who loves me. Yucheng, you have to treat Yinyin well. This girl is a blessing to our family."
Fu Yucheng nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mom, I treat her like the apple of my eye."
Yun Tangyin blushed and pushed Fu Yucheng towards the kitchen: "Hurry up and cook, I'm hungry."
Fu Yucheng staggered after being pushed by her, and walked towards the kitchen with a smile: "Okay, my mistress has given the order, I will do it right away."
Song Yushuang looked at the two's backs and sighed to Jiang Jianhua, "You say that in this life, we are lucky to have such a daughter-in-law."
Jiang Jianhua had just put the brown sugar into the cabinet when he heard this and nodded with a smile: "That's right, Yinyin is thoughtful and capable. She manages the house smoothly. Let's just wait and enjoy a peaceful life."
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard at the gate. Fu Yuanshan came back carrying a bundle of firewood. Seeing the good mood in the courtyard, he asked curiously, "What's going on? What good news makes you so happy?"
"I'm talking about your third brother's wife." Song Yushuang waved him over. "Aunt Zhang was complaining to me the other day, saying her daughter-in-law couldn't even read the account books. Unlike Yinyin, she calculated the family's income and expenditures more clearly than an abacus."
Fu Yuanshan picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, nodded, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Yun Tangyin's face.
