The business with Han Guoli ended on the 29th day of the lunar year, and we stopped doing it on New Year's Eve.
The business was very good. All the peanuts were sold out as early as the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the only things left were fried soybeans.
Chen Rou is also someone who is not afraid of hard work. Not only did she make fried soybeans, she also fried twisted dough sticks.
The children at home were very happy, and Han Guoli was also surprised.
The last time we distributed dividends was during the La Festival. Han Guobin brought some back and, excluding the original cost, we made ten dollars.
From the end of the twelfth lunar month to the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, the capital invested was not small, but the profit was even greater. Chen Rou got twenty-two yuan. She estimated that Han Guoli would get less, but still around twenty yuan.
After all, business has been really good during the Chinese New Year period.
Because of the money earned over the past few months, Han Guoli has gained some confidence this year.
She also brought it up to her mother-in-law in front of everyone, saying that the property would be divided after the New Year and her family planned to split up.
How could Zhang's mother be willing to let the money be divided? If it was divided, who would listen to her?
Just let the couple think about it carefully, because if they want to divide it up, they won’t have any money!
How could she be out of money? All the money in the family is in her hands, and she is not going to take it out.
Han Guoli Ke has never been a soft persimmon and cannot be manipulated by her. This family has been divided up for her, so she was very straightforward and took all the more than 20 yuan salary that Zhang Jiang brought home this month.
The fact that the money was not divided made Zhang's mother's face very angry. She started to curse the wild chicken from the country, saying that she was trying to overturn the Zhang family. She really thought she was so important that she dared to bring up the division of the family without her saying anything. Those who were taught in the country are taught in the country, and they don't have any rules at all!
Han Guoli was impatient to listen to what her mother-in-law said, and she really didn't want to endure it any longer.
She called Zhang Jiang and brought her eldest son, took all the prepared New Year gifts and goods and went to the countryside, even having the New Year's Eve dinner at her mother's house.
This made Zhang's mother very angry.
The second daughter-in-law of the Zhang family said, "Where has the third brother's wife been working recently? Could it be that she has found a stable job and doesn't want to support our parents anymore, so she wants to move out of the family?"
Han Guoli has been going out early and coming back late every day recently, and she doesn't even come back for lunch. She told her family that she had found a job and the other party was willing to hire her to help out temporarily.
You feel so confident today, could it be that you have stabilized?
Zhang's mother's face became even worse. How could she allow it to be divided? She forbids it. If anyone dares to divide it, don't even think about getting a penny from her!
Of course, she didn't have much money left. Her three nephews from her mother's side all came to borrow money to get married. They had to buy the four major items for the wedding, a watch, a radio, a sewing machine and a bicycle. This cost a lot of money, and she had lent them all out. Where was the money left?
The Zhang family's wives, who didn't know about this, naturally weren't furious.
Han Guoli and Zhang Jiang brought their eldest son Zhang Haohao back to her parents' home, and this time they brought a lot of things.
She brought biscuits, malted milk, and candies, which made Han's mother smile: "It's good to have you here. Why did you bring so many gifts?"
"Some of it is given to my eldest brother and second brother, but most of it is used to honor my parents." Han Guoli said with a smile.
Han's mother was not happy to hear this: "Why give them to them? They are useless. I'll keep all these things!"
As he spoke, he was about to take it over.
How could Han Guoli not understand her mother? She smiled and hid, took out two bags of milk candy from her, and said, "Zhang Jiang, go to the eldest brother and the second brother's house first. I have something to say to my mother."
Zhang Jiang also knew his mother-in-law, so he took it and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he quickly put on the grease and walked away.
Zhang Haohao also followed his father to his second uncle's house. He liked his second uncle. The last time he met him when he was playing outside, his second uncle even took him to eat a bowl of dumplings!
Mother Han said with a dark face: "It would be a waste to give them both, especially your second brother's family. Does he need anything? I see there are a lot of good things at home. Look at what those children eat. They are all fatter and whiter than the others!"
Han Hang, Han Zhou and Han Cheng, the three siblings, are indeed fair-skinned. They inherited their mother's skin quality, and because they are still young, they rarely get tanned.
And compared to the skinny children nowadays, they are indeed not thin, but they are not fat either. They just look very healthy.
Han Guoli smiled and said, "It's rare for me to come back, so I must send something to my eldest and second brothers. They are all my mother's family, and my second brother has to support me in my husband's family."
When she gave birth to her daughter Yaoyao, her second sister-in-law asked her second brother to send her food and eggs for her confinement. She will remember this favor for the rest of her life.
But knowing her mother's temper, Han Guoli didn't say these things.
He stuffed the rest into her mother's mouth to silence her, then went into the house to see his daughter.
Yaoyao was sleeping at the moment. Han Guoli almost cried when she saw her daughter's rounder face.
"Why are you doing this? How could I treat my own granddaughter badly? Besides, her uncle loves her very much. He lets me feed her an egg every day and she is full for three meals. She cried and made a fuss at first, but later she became very happy living here and plays with Bobo every day." said Han's mother.
"I just want to be grateful to you, mom. You don't know how embarrassed I am in the Zhang family, especially Yaoyao, who has never been able to eat until she is 70% full." Han Guoli wiped her tears and said.
Mother Han frowned: "Doesn't Zhang Jiang earn more than 20 yuan a month? Your mother-in-law doesn't even give Yaoyao a 70% full meal?"
"They just scolded her for being a little girl and asking why she ate so much." Han Guoli said, "She didn't care when she saw the kids from the other two rooms beating her. She just watched and ate melon seeds!"
"This old bastard!" Han's mother immediately glared at him and cursed.
"Mom, I plan to move out with Zhang Jiang next year. I guess he won't give me any money then. You have to go over and help me. As a junior, I can't make too much trouble." Han Guoli said.
What Zhang Jiang earned over the years, as well as what she earned before, was quite a lot. Even though she was idle at home for a while later, all the money she earned before was handed over to her.
Even if there are four people in the family who need to live, they can only eat until they are 70% full. How is it possible that they have not saved a hundred or two hundred yuan after all these years?
She doesn't want much, but the fifty dollars must be shared with her!
If you don't even give me a share of the money, there's no way.
Mother Han was furious when she heard this and immediately said, "When the time comes to divide the family property, ask Zhang Jiang to come and pick me up. If she dares not give you a share of the money, I will lift her bed!"
Han Guoli nodded and said, "Mom, I had a quarrel with her today, so I don't plan to go back. Are we going to have the New Year's Eve dinner at home?"
"Eat it if you want. You can't do without this bite of food, but you have to go back tomorrow." Han's mother added.
"Okay." Han Guoli nodded.
Let’s talk about Zhang Jiang. He and his son Zhang Haohao are now in the second room. They went to Brother Han and Sister-in-law’s place first. After giving them a bag of candy, they didn’t sit for long and came directly to the second room.
Han Guobin was at home, and Chen Rou was steaming buns. She smiled and said, "It will be ready in half an hour, so we'll be there in time."
"Just go to your parents' house for dinner later. No need to eat buns." Zhang Jiang said quickly.
When Han Guobin asked about his nephew's studies, Zhang Haohao said that he was not good at studying and he didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Jiang said: "He hangs out with his classmates all day long and studies hard. He scored more than ten points on the last test."
"Is my cousin so bad?" Han Zhou, who was listening to the semiconductor happily, was surprised when he heard this: "My brother scored more than 90 points last time, and my brother Si was almost there, but he still scored 60 points."
Han Guoli got married earlier than her second brother Han Guobin. Cousin Zhang Haohao is almost three years older than Han Hang. He is now in the fourth grade, two grades higher than Hanghang, but he will probably have to repeat this semester.
Zhang Haohao was so embarrassed that he tried to argue, "Of course you don't know since you haven't started school yet. The higher you go, the harder it gets!"
"How is that possible?" Han Zhou denied directly: "The higher you read, the older you get, and the older you get, the smarter you get. It's all the same."
Now let alone Zhang Haohao, Chen Rou, Han Guobin and Zhang Jiang all said: "..." It actually made sense and could not be refuted.
"Cousin, you have to work harder, otherwise you will be held back. When I go to school next year, you will still be in the same grade as me. You are so old now, I will be embarrassed to call you cousin." Han Zhou continued.
Zhang Haohao also felt that it would be too embarrassing if that really happened: "I will definitely work hard next year!"
Han Zhou said: "Do you want to go out and play now? My sister wants a snowman. Can you come with me to build one?"
"It's so cold outside." Zhang Haohao refused.
"You are my cousin, why don't you help your younger brothers and sisters build a snowman when they want one?" Han Zhou said.
"Help, help, help." Zhang Haohao said quickly.
"Brother, come out and build a snowman." Han Zhou called to his elder brother.
"No, I still have a lesson to memorize, and my mother asked me to finish it today." Han Hang shook his head.
Zhang Haohao couldn't help but admire his cousin. It was worthy of him to score over 90 points. This was the highest score in their class. He even had to memorize lessons during the Chinese New Year.
The children went out to make snowmen. Zhang Jiang smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you taught the children very well."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "No one taught me. I am so tall, I don't know who I learned from."
She was not too deliberate about her children's education. She was only responsible for pointing out their mistakes and strictly requiring them to correct them. She did not interfere too much in other matters.
Not to mention Han Guobin, who is often not at home and has basically no time, and he spoils the children even more than Chen Rou.
I guess he didn't receive much love in the past, so now he loves his child even more.
"Are my second brother and his wife going to move into the city next year?" Zhang Jiang asked.
"If we want to move, we'll have to trouble Third Aunt to help us find a yard and a shop." Chen Rou said.
"Lili and I are both looking for one. We showed her a store that should be very good, but we haven't found a courtyard yet." Zhang Jiang said.
"I heard about the store from your second brother, and he agreed." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin told her when he came back yesterday that if he opened a shop on the street it would definitely attract attention and would not be too bad.
Now that it is almost the end of the year, Chen Rou has put it aside for the time being. After the new year, she plans to buy the shop and directly transfer the ownership to her own name. She has no plans to rent it out. After all, it is not easy to move a store business, otherwise the popularity of the previous business will be almost gone.
Only by buying it can you have peace of mind forever.
"Third aunt said that we will split up and move out next year?" Chen Rou asked.
"It's time to split up." Zhang Jiang nodded.
Several times, my wife and her sisters-in-law had such fierce quarrels that their brothers were about to fight, but the place was really too small.
Moreover, many of the neighbors on both sides have divided out their land, but the Zhang family has not yet divided it, so it is still small.
It is lively, but there are troubles every day, so it would be easier to separate them.
"I heard from Lili that you will go to the city to do business next year, second sister-in-law?" Zhang Jiang asked.
"Yes." Chen Rou nodded: "If Third Aunt has nothing else to do, she can come to my place to help first, and I will pay her a salary."
Zhang Jiang hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, do you really want to cook? There are state-owned restaurants for food."
Not to mention Han Guobin, even Zhang Jiang was not optimistic. With state-owned restaurants around, why would people go to a private restaurant?
As for breaking the law, it is no longer illegal. The policies for economic development have been introduced, and this year his wife has let loose to sell her products, and there is no one patrolling and no one catching her.
Chen Rou said: "There are also supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls for selling other things, so how can we not be competitive? If the food I make is delicious, people will eat it three times a day, so the business should be able to get by."
Zhang Jiang didn't say anything seeing that she had made up her mind, but he undoubtedly also hoped for the best for his second brother and his wife.
Given the care his second brother and sister-in-law give his wife, if he could gain a foothold in the city, they would definitely help his wife.
After sitting here for a while, Zhang Jiang went back. The father and son were eating a bun with pickled vegetables and pork filling, which was very delicious.
Zhang Jiang thought that if he tried to sell these buns, they might actually sell well.
Chen Rou made a lot of buns this time, including three kinds of buns: pork and pickles, pork and cabbage, and pork and mushrooms.
At noon, we drink porridge and eat steamed buns, and at night we have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Nowadays, every family has their own New Year’s Eve dinner, but no one goes to the old house because there are so many children and there is no room for them to sit there.
After Chen Rou finished eating, she went into the house to feed Lao Si. Seeing Han Guobin coming in after finishing eating, she said, "Kill all the fish. I'll stew them later."
Han Guobin nodded. He sat and watched his eldest son eat for a while before going out to kill the fish.
After he left, Chen Rou spat softly, then said to her son, "Don't be like your father when you grow up. He's just a hooligan."
I just stared at it, but it was not good.
The fourth child didn't care about all that. He would eat when he was hungry. After eating, he asked his mother to pat his burp. Then he lay down and started playing by himself. He didn't even know how to play before he yawned and fell asleep.
Han Guobin had already killed the fish, and Chen Rou put it directly into the pot to stew it. The other dishes were basically ready, except for this one.
Mrs. Han came over and gave red envelopes of money to Han Hang and his brothers, and then she told Chen Rou that Third Aunt had given them a bag of candies.
Chen Rou said that she also brought the bag over here. Mrs. Han knew it. She saw it all. Third uncle went there first.
The two sisters-in-law had been chatting for a while when Han Guoli came over.
"Third aunt is here." Mrs. Han said with a smile.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Third Aunt looks very good this year."
Han Guoli was also happy. She had made a lot of money in the last period of this year. At least after moving out, she would have some security.
Isn't this just like being in a good mood when something good happens?
Three women performing a play on stage naturally have a lot to talk about.
Especially Mrs. Han, with her around, there is basically no need to worry about gossip. Didn’t she just whisper about something that has been controversial in the village recently?
It’s just that Li San’s son doesn’t look like Li San, but looks more and more like the unrelated Zhang Si.
Especially since Li San's wife was spotted coming out of a corn field with Zhang Sikuai. Now the rumors are getting more and more intense, and some even say that they saw a white butt in the corn field one day.
These things have added a lot of color to the village this year.
Chen Rou also heard a few words from Zhou Zhen, but they were all the vulgar words of the idle men in the village. She said, "It's nothing, sister-in-law, don't tell them."
"What is a shadowless thing? If you see the child, you will know it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it." Han Dasao said, "And I have said a long time ago that Li San's wife's eyes are always moving around. She is not a quiet person. I also heard a piece of news."
"What news?" Chen Rou was not very interested, but Han Guoli just wanted to hear the gossip in the village.
"Before Li San's wife married Li San, she had been with a gangster in her village, and it seemed that she had an abortion for that gangster!" said Mrs. Han.
"Is there such a thing?" Han Guoli asked in surprise.
"It's been spread these days. I don't know whether it's true or not, but someone went to ask and heard that she was indeed very close to more than one man before she got married. She was also close to a male educated youth in her village. It was also heard that she went to the mountains to collect firewood with a male educated youth, and when she came out her clothes were disheveled and her face was red, and someone saw her." said Mrs. Han.
"Then why didn't Li San choose her properly when he married her?" Han Guoli asked.
"It's good enough for Li San to marry a wife. He is short and thin, and only earns five work points, which is less than his wife. He is also a lazy worker. How can a good man be interested in him?" said Mrs. Han with a sneer.
"So how do we solve it now?" Han Guoli asked.
"I heard from Shuanzi's wife that Zhang Si gave Li San ten yuan and Li San didn't care about it." Han's wife whispered.
"How come Shuanzi's wife knows everything? Shouldn't this matter be kept secret after the reconciliation?" Chen Rou asked puzzledly.
"What secret? Zhang Si asked Shuanzi to give the ten dollars to Li San." said Mrs. Han.
Chen Rou's mouth twitched, her IQ was low.
Han Guoli asked: "Is this matter over?"
"How is this possible? Li San's wife Zhang Si will definitely use it in the future." Han's wife revealed such shocking news.
Chen Rou and Han Guoli were both shocked: "What's going on?"
"You may not know this, but the ten yuan was not given for free." Mrs. Han said, and told her about the same thing that happened in her hometown village.
The lover gave money to the husband, and the husband tacitly acknowledged the affair between the lover and his wife.
Chen Rou: “…” This world is as chaotic as her own apocalyptic world.
Han Guoli's eyes twitched as well. Only after Han Dasao said this did she go back satisfied.
If you only know how to enjoy gossip, you must share it with others. But the second brother’s family is not like that and never tells gossip.
Basically, once anything reaches her, there's no way it can be spread out. It almost ends here.
"My sister-in-law just likes to say these things. Just listen to her and ignore her." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Han Guoli also laughed.
Chen Rou started talking about doing business: "Next year we will move to the city, and we will no longer be selling things. Why don't you come to my shop to help out? Ten dollars a month. When the food arrives, you can cooperate with my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law doesn't know yet?" Han Guoli said.
"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.
"Then I'll go to your place to help you first. It would be awkward to talk about money. I'll have nothing to do then and will be sitting around doing nothing anyway." Han Guoli said.
"Yes, ten dollars a month." Chen Rou said.
"I'm worried that your store may not make even ten dollars a month." Han Guoli told the truth.
Han Guoli is not good-looking either. With state-owned hotels around, who would want to eat in a small restaurant?
Thinking of this, Han Guoli couldn't help but said, "Second sister-in-law, you have to think about it carefully. This will cost a lot of money, and no one in the city does this now."
Chen Rou said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
It's just the beginning now, and no one would be optimistic about it, but Chen Rou knows what's going on.
"Okay, since you, second sister-in-law, have decided to do it, I will come over to help you when the time comes." Han Guoli nodded.
"What time will you and your uncle go back? I'll make some buns for you to take back." Chen Rou said.
"I'm not going back today. I'll stay with my parents for the New Year's Eve dinner and go back tomorrow." Han Guoli said.
"What's wrong?" Chen Rou looked at her and asked.
There is no custom in her place for daughters to go back to their parents' home for New Year's Eve dinner, unless they can no longer stay at their husband's home.
Han Guoli told him again and again that her mother-in-law did not agree to divide the property and threatened not to give her any money.
Chen Rou frowned and said, "It's not okay if you don't give me the money. Let your second brother handle this matter."
"No need, second brother. It's impossible for him to go there. My mother-in-law is not a peaceful person. If my second brother goes there, she will go to his unit to make a scene. I have already told mother about this. If she doesn't give money, I will ask Zhang Jiang to come back and invite mother over!" Han Guoli said.
Chen Rou nodded after hearing this. With her mother-in-law there, she really didn't have to worry too much. She could always scrape together some money and not be left with nothing.
But in fact, even if Han's mother went there, she couldn't get any money from Zhang's mother.
Because Zhang's mother didn't have much money at all.
Not long after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Han Guoli found a courtyard. It was quite old and needed to be renovated before she could move in. The owner was an old Western medicine doctor who had been sent down to the countryside.
However, after the old Western doctor was released, he didn't want to stay in this sad place, so he wanted to transfer it out. His son was also sent down, but they had been communicating through letters for many years. He had married a country girl and had two children. He planned to go there to find his son and grandchildren to live with.
So I wanted to sell it.
Although the area is not small, the yard has been badly damaged. If they want to live in it again, they can only do some repairs, but in fact they have to rebuild it.
The key point is that this old Western doctor charges a high price, more than two hundred yuan.
Han Guoli informed her second brother and came to see the yard.
The yard is not close to the school. It takes more than half an hour to walk there. The surrounding area is quite lively, but the key is that it takes half an hour to ride a bicycle to the shop.
The only advantage is that it is not far from the county hospital, only about ten minutes' walk. This house was bought specifically for living in. After all, the old doctor works there, but he was heartbroken this time and doesn't want to go back to work.
Han Guobin was not very satisfied after coming to see it, although it only took about ten minutes to ride a bicycle from here to the Transportation Department.
But it is not very convenient for his wife and children.
But the yard is really hard to find.
So we can only decide this for now, and if we find a suitable place later, we will move again.
Han Guobin bargained with the old doctor and would not let him name the price. In the end, they settled on two hundred yuan, but Han Guobin gave him two national food coupons.
They all weigh five kilograms.
I went to the Housing Management Office that day to get a certificate to transfer the land deed.
Then this yard will be his home.
When Han Guobin found someone to start renovating the yard, Han Guoli also found a house of her own. Although she was not in the same place, she also wanted to live next door and be neighbors with her second brother and his wife.
But there is no way around it, houses are really hard to rent and are in very short supply.
It's more than ten minutes away and can be considered a yard, but unlike her second brother's independent yard, her yard belongs to someone else, but she can't live in it all, so she rents it out.
The owner of the house occupied most of the space, leaving her family with only a shady room of more than 20 square meters, which cost two dollars and fifty cents a month to rent.
Because she thought the house was great, Han Guoli moved out and naturally asked her mother-in-law for the separation fee.
But how could Zhang's mother possibly give it to her? Not to mention that she has no money, she wouldn't give it to her even if she had money. It would simply be a provocation to her dignity and prestige as a mother-in-law!
So Han Guoli asked her husband Zhang Jiang to take half a day off and go to the countryside to invite his mother-in-law over.
There is no need to mention Han's mother's fighting ability, and she thinks that the old man in the Zhang family is too shameless.
When the eldest and second sons separated, she gave 15 yuan. This old bitch took her son-in-law's salary for so many years and didn't even give him a penny. Even a stingy person like her is not the one. People like her should be called blood-sucking worms!
The two old ladies naturally started to curse at each other. When Zhang Jiang's father, Zhang's father, came home from get off work, he saw people gathered in front of his house. He also saw the two old ladies cursing at each other and they were about to come to blows.
After he understood what was going on, his face darkened and he asked his wife to give the money directly. It was not too much to give his son and daughter-in-law 50 yuan as a settling-in fee.
"You want money but not your life, and you still want money? Don't even want a penny. Either get out or come and fight me. Do you really think I'm afraid of a country old hag like you? You have a son, and I have a son too. Come and fight me!" Zhang's mother was very arrogant.
"I thought city people were also tolerant and generous, but today really broadened my horizons. My son-in-law's salary has been in your hands for so many years, and you have been the head of the family. Even if her family of four costs more in the past, it has been at least two hundred over the years, if not three or four hundred. Now the house is too crowded and they want to move out so that others can make room for a more spacious place. You didn't even give them fifty yuan as a resettlement fee. Everyone come and have your say, and see how powerful this woman from the Zhang family is!" Although Han's mother was so angry that she wanted to tear her apart, the third brother's family had already told her about it before they went to the city.
If you meet someone who is reasonable, then don't try to reason with her and just act like a spoiled child. If you meet someone who is unreasonable, then try to reason with her and don't force it.
Now Han's mother finally realized that the old woman of the Zhang family was even more shrewish than the old women in the country. It was useless to act like a spoiled child to her. She knew this kind of person, so she had to show her tolerance and let her father-in-law see how unreasonable his mother-in-law was!
"She's just a country girl. My Zhang family spent so much money to get her a household registration when she got married. Don't you even need to calculate all this? I didn't agree to give her a share but she insisted on it. This is disobedient and unfilial. She even wants a share of the money? No way!" Zhang's mother refused to give in.
"The money for getting the household registration was all saved by Zhang Jiang, and now the money is all after they get married. Stop talking nonsense. If the Zhang family doesn't give us the resettlement fee, don't let my daughter be filial to them in the future!" Han's mother looked directly at Zhang's father and said.
Father Zhang's face was gloomy and he went straight into the cabinet to get the money. It was really embarrassing.
"I have no money, no money. If you want to take my money, then you have to step over my dead body. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a share from me!" Zhang's mother said angrily.
"Grandma is out of money. Grandpa, please don't ask her for money. All your money has been taken away by your cousins." said Mrs. Zhang's eldest daughter.
"What cousin?" Zhang's father was stunned.
Zhang's mother suddenly looked a little panicked, and she slapped her granddaughter fiercely: "You money-loser, what are you talking about!" She also shouted to attract everyone's attention: "You don't want money, this is what my son and daughter-in-law earned. You country bumpkin want to share the money, forget it!"
He even slapped his eldest granddaughter's eyes.
Her eldest granddaughter trembled immediately and hid behind her mother.
The others were not so easily fooled and were already suspicious.
But Han's mother was well-informed. She almost did not hesitate. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Zhang's mother's wrist. She stared at her and asked, "Did you use all the money from my son-in-law's family to support your family?"
After these words were spoken, the faces of the Zhang family members, including Zhang's father, changed.
Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang II, and Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang all looked at Mother Zhang.
The worst among them are the eldest brother Zhang, the second brother Zhang and Zhang Jiang. You know, when people were so hungry that they could only drink water to fill their stomachs, their mother would send the few pounds of rice left at home back to her parents' home!
They were severely beaten by their father at that time, and then they said they would never do it again, but now they are back to their old ways?
"Tell me quickly, how much money did your grandma give to your uncle and his family?" Brother Zhang immediately asked his daughter.
"I was hiding outside the door and saw that a lot of money was taken away. My second cousin, third cousin, and fourth cousin all came to get the money." The eldest granddaughter of the Zhang family was very smart and said.
After hearing these words, everyone in the Zhang family's eyes turned red. Zhang's father even kicked his wife and mother away and went straight to open the boxes and rummage through the cabinets.
"There's more than a thousand dollars, and this is all that's left. This is all that's left?!" Father Zhang took out the box, looked at the scattered dozens of dollars inside, and stared at his wife with his eyes wide open.
"It's just borrowed. They just need to borrow it to buy four major items for their wedding!" Zhang's mother said hurriedly, her face turning pale.
"You shameless old thing, you are sucking the blood of your husband and your own son to support your mother's family. Why do you want to marry a wife if you have no money? What are the four big items for you? The Zhang family actually has such a head of the family. It's great, really great. You won't even give me a penny after dividing the money today. Don't expect my daughter to give you a penny in the future!" Han's mother spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed with a mocking face.
She didn't expect that coming here to make a fuss today would lead to such a thing. Needless to say, she was out of money.
Judging from the expressions of those people in the Zhang family, this old lady must be a repeat offender.
Everyone knows that she is a habitual offender who subsidizes her mother's family, but he actually holds her money in her hands. They are simply out of their minds!
Chen Rou heard about today's battle situation from Han Guoli.
It can be said that the Zhang family was torn apart.
How could Zhang Jiang’s brother and sister-in-law agree? They all tried to ask for money from their uncle, but not only did they not get all the money back, they didn't even get a penny back. Their uncle directly denied it and said they had never taken any money, so why should they ask for money?
The first reason was that they severed their relationship directly. The second was that they would no longer hand over their salary to each other and would eat their own food.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang's second wife kept singing bad words at home every day. The two of them sang together and didn't give Zhang's mother any face at all.
Compared to Han Guoli, the two of them suffered a great loss because they both had jobs in recent years and they and their husbands were considered double new families.
The money she brings home every month is not small, otherwise why would Han Guoli be so suppressed by them and so eager to separate?
Therefore, the ones who suffered the biggest loss right now are probably the two of them. They concealed some of the money they took home and basically handed over the rest. How could they be willing to take this loss?
Mother Zhang still wanted to scold them both, but how could they respect her as a mother-in-law now? The two men tore her apart completely, and she screamed at them like a thief.
"The last time I went back, they scolded her in front of my father-in-law. They were not afraid at all," said Han Guoli.
Chen Rou was speechless after hearing this. At this age, he is still so confused. Does he expect to have a good life in the second half of his life?
All the more than a thousand dollars in the family were used to support his brother's nephew so that he could get married. This was a very noble act.
Chen Rou has a good relationship with her mother's family, but it is impossible for her to support her mother's family so much. At most, she can be filial to her parents. As for her brothers and sisters, she stays close to those who are close to her, and stays away from those who are average.
But she didn't say anything, and said, "It's better to move out now. You can manage everything by yourself in the future. How is your second brother's yard going?"
"People can live there after spring. I'm keeping an eye on it," said Han Guoli.
Chen Rou hasn't been there yet, but Han Guobin is in charge of everything over there, and Han Guoli often goes to keep an eye on it since she has nothing to do.
The speed is quite fast.
On March 15th of the Gregorian calendar, Han Guobin was on vacation. He drove the truck directly back home and then brought his wife and children into the city.
The kids were so excited; this was their first time riding in a big iron box!
When they drove to the gate of the yard, Han Guobin got out of the car first. He carried all three children out of the car, then took the fourth child from his wife's arms and let his wife get out by herself.
"Is this our yard?" Chen Rou raised her eyebrows as she looked at the large yard that was surrounded by a brick wall and could not be seen inside.
"Come in and take a look." Han Guobin gave her the key.
"Dad, this yard is ours?" the eldest brother Han Hang asked in shock.
"Where does our family have a yard in the city?" the second son, Han Zhou, also asked in surprise.
"Need I say more? It must have been bought by dad!" said the third child, Han Cheng.
"Well, your father is capable. He earned money to buy it." Chen Rou laughed, then took the key and unlocked it.
When they pushed the door open, they saw a house that looked 70% like their hometown yard.
Han Hang and his two siblings ran in immediately, and their eyes lit up when they saw the house: "Dad, did you build it after ours?"
"It's not inside, push the door and take a look." Han Guobin said with a smile.
It is called renovation, but in fact the house has been rebuilt.
Compared to my hometown, the houses here are bright blue brick and tile houses, and the windows are all glass windows, which are very bright!
That’s not all, there is also a brand new dining table, brand new benches, a brand new large cabinet, and study tables and chairs for the children, everything is complete!
"Where did you buy these?" Chen Rou couldn't help but ask after seeing them.
"I bought it at the furniture factory. Li Dayuan's cousin works there, and I got it through his connections." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"I always hear you say this, but I haven't met you in person yet. When we move here, please invite me to our house for dinner when you have time." Chen Rou said.
"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.
"Dad, is this our room?" Han Hang and the others were very happy, looking at this room and that room.
The door leads to the living room. The house looks a bit like an old house from the outside, but actually it is not like that from the inside. It is built according to the style of those in the city.
This is a big house with three bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen.
"Yes, it's for you. Whether you want to live in the human world or sleep together, you can decide among yourselves," said Han Guobin.
He carried the fourth child and his wife to look at the kitchen.
The kitchen is also very spacious and uses the coal stove that city dwellers use nowadays.
After looking at the kitchen, I went out to look at the yard outside.
There is also a brand new shaking well in the front yard, which was also replaced by Han Guobin after the old one. As for the backyard, Han Guobin left a vegetable plot, and if his wife wants to raise chickens, she can also build a chicken coop and raise a few chickens.
"How much does a yard like this and a store like this cost? All the money you gave me has been spent?" Although Chen Rou liked it, she looked at him helplessly.
This condition is too good.
Han Guobin coughed dryly and said, "I still have half a month before my salary is paid."
The shop and the renovated yard took up 90% of her family's savings, leaving only a little for Chen Rou to keep in the bottom of the box.
Chen Rou didn't do anything
