When Chen Rou said the word "I believe" seriously, Ma Yuling couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She didn't expect that in the end, her man didn't believe her, but instead this neighbor whom she looked down upon believed her.
"I used to look down on you, sister-in-law. You know that, right?" Ma Yuling said to Chen Rou very frankly.
"I know." Chen Rou nodded again.
"Then why is my sister-in-law still willing to believe me?" Ma Yuling asked.
"It's a relationship, but no one can force you to admit something you haven't done," Chen Rou said.
Other things are other things. Now that it’s over, she and Ma Yuling will remain the same as before.
But after all, the neighbors are here, and Chen Bing has come to the door begging with red eyes. How can we just pretend not to see it? This is too cold-blooded.
Ma Yuling said self-deprecatingly: "I used to look down on my sister-in-law because she came from the countryside and became a self-employed person. I thought you were embarrassing Hanghang's father. You have such a respectable job in the Ministry of Transport, but you still want to be a self-employed person. Isn't this embarrassing?"
Chen Rou's face remained calm; the rumors did not bother her at all.
"But with the development of the times, I know that I was short-sighted. I see that my sister-in-law never gossiped or talked about other people's affairs over the years, and she took good care of the family. It was my own narrow-mindedness. I apologize to you, sister-in-law." Ma Yuling said.
Chen Rou didn't care whether she apologized or not, she just asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Ma Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know who the gossip is. My director and I went out together yesterday, but I was wearing high heels at the time and I almost twisted my ankle. My director helped me under the arm. There were two other colleagues standing next to me, but I don't know who saw it, and when they came back, it was spread that my director and I went shopping hand in hand!"
What did she do wrong? Wasn't it just that she dressed a little more fashionably after the opening up, that she was criticized like this and labeled as indecent?
She put on lipstick and had her bangs permed into a big afro, but she went to the provincial capital to get it done. They don't have that here.
She was wearing high heels and a red skirt.
But those old ladies would frown when they saw her, and would say "I think she's not a serious person" at the slightest sign of trouble.
She was upright and had only been with that one bear man in her family for the rest of her life. She could swear to heaven on that.
But what made her so angry was that the bear guy also suspected her and they had quarreled several times over this matter!
After listening to this, Chen Rou almost understood what was going on.
But to be honest, given how decisive she was, and the fact that she could speak so openly, Chen Rou really didn't think Ma Yuling would do such a thing.
She can't be 100% sure about a person, but 70% of the time she is right, and Ma Yuling certainly hasn't done it.
"Did you have a fight with Public Security Chen?" Chen Rou asked.
"How dare he hit me? If he dared to do that to me, we would have divorced long ago. I was the one who hit him!" Ma Yuling snorted.
Even though the couple were struggling with each other, she was the one beating Chen Gongan.
What Chen Gongan said was right. With her physique, she couldn't withstand a slap from him.
But he didn't dare hit her.
"Do you understand what Public Security Chen means?" Chen Rou looked at her and said.
"Of course I know. He just wants to divorce me. He dislikes me because I'm old and ugly, and wants to find someone young and beautiful!" Ma Yuling cursed.
Chen Rou laughed: "I think you still don't understand. That's not what Chen Gongan meant."
If they really wanted to divorce, Chen Gongan was about the same height as Han Guobin, and a little stronger than Han Guobin. His slap was as strong as a calamus. With Ma Yuling's fiery temper, one slap would almost break up the family.
"If it weren't for this, why would he be so easily influenced and come back to make trouble with me after hearing those rumors outside!" said Ma Yuling.
"What would you think if rumors spread that he was having an affair with some girl?" Chen Rou said.
"He won't do that. He's a stubborn person, not the kind of person who would have a fickle heart." Ma Yuling said firmly.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "It seems that you two still trust each other very much."
"I don't trust him at all. I hate him so much!" Ma Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "It was the same last time. He came back to make trouble after hearing some rumors. This time, the trouble was even worse. He smashed everything!"
"Is the TV smashed?" Chen Rou asked.
"It's like breaking the bowl. All my life savings are on that TV. Let him try and see if he dares!" said Ma Yuling.
"You should know that no normal man can tolerate this kind of thing. He doesn't disbelieve you, otherwise he wouldn't let you beat him without fighting back." Chen Rou said.
"If he believes me, then why is he arguing with me? Is he dissatisfied with his miserable life?" Ma Yuling said.
"He's making trouble with you just to make you quit your job. After all, the neighbors are here and he's a police officer. Even if he believes you, he has to be careful about the impact of the rumor. Otherwise, how can he let everyone see his credibility as a public servant? How do you want people to see a man who can't even handle his own household chores and whose neighbors are saying that his wife is cheating on him?" Chen Rou looked at her seriously.
"But this is my job!" Ma Yuling couldn't help but say, "You are also a woman, you should know how important it is for a woman to have an income."
This is why she ignored the rumors and continued to work in the unit for so many years.
Her salary is not very high. Including various benefits and subsidies, it is just around 60 yuan per month. Public Security Chen's salary is higher, more than 10 yuan.
But even if her salary is only 60 yuan, it is her income. With this income, she is confident and can buy whatever she wants without having to ask her man at all.
Besides, she has things to do and doesn't have to stay at home all day. She doesn't have many friends around her, and she would become a shrew at home.
How could she bear it?
"You have to make a choice between you and Chen Gongan. It's either you or him. One of you has to give in this time." Chen Rou said.
"I won't retreat. Why should I retreat? If he wants to retreat, let him retreat." Ma Yuling said.
"You guys go and discuss it among yourselves." Chen Rou nodded. They had almost finished chatting and thought it was time to send the guests away.
Ma Yuling didn't want to leave, and couldn't help but whispered, "That bear guy, he really likes being a policeman."
Chen Rou glanced at her and said, "If you can't bear to let him give up his ideals, then you have no choice but to quit."
In fact, in this matter, Ma Yuling had to resign. Although she was also wronged, three people can make a tiger, and the neighbors are all here. It is useless for Chen Gongan to resign.
"But if I quit my job, will I just sit at home and eat idle meals?" Ma Yuling said.
"What do you mean by eating free meals? Have you seen me eating free meals?" Chen Rou said.
"I won't sell you those." Ma Yuling said.
"I can't do anything if you want to sell it. I only have enough for myself and can't supply you." Chen Rou told the truth.
Ma Yuling: “…”
"If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely. Whether he hits you or you hit him, it's both domestic violence and is not encouraged," said Chen Rou.
Ma Yuling gritted her teeth and said, "I really hate these neighbors!"
Chen Rou looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm not doing anything. They say I'm not serious and decent. So I brought myself to the county town dressed like this. Just wait and see how I lead their daughter-in-law and daughter astray!" Ma Yuling said.
Chen Rou looked at her warily: "Before you do anything, you should think about your family. Your son is so old now, and his grades are good. When he goes to college, you will be more relaxed and free than anyone else."
Ma Yuling rolled her eyes at her: "What are you thinking? I don't mean to break the law." If she did anything illegal, the guy in her family would not let her go.
"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Rou asked.
"I'm going to the provincial capital to recruit people!" Ma Yuling said with high spirits, "I'm going to invite a hairdresser to come over and open a shop that specializes in hair perms. Not only will I perm hair, but I'll also have red skirts. I want everyone on the street to wear red pants like mine!"
Chen Rou: “…”
"I won't admit defeat. Why do they want me to dress as rustically as them? They are old and can't they keep the fashion that makes us young? Have you watched TV? The stars on TV all dress like me!" said Ma Yuling.
"Then let me wish you success first." Chen Rou nodded.
She didn't know how the business would be, as there weren't any hair perms in the county yet. But fashion spread like wildfire, and if it became popular in the provincial capital, it would become popular here sooner or later, so no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't be so bad that she would lose all her money, so she thought she should give it a try.
"Do you want to partner with me?" Ma Yuling looked at her and said.
Chen Rou: "...I don't have the time. I have two shops to look after."
"You don't have to go there, just invest the money. If you trust me, I will recruit people and manage the business, and you just wait for dividends. We'll split the remaining profit 50-50 after deducting the cost. I don't bother to do shady accounting, so you can rest assured." Ma Yuling said to her.
Chen Rou: ...I came here to give you some advice and comfort you, why did you bring up business?
"Go back and ask your police officer Chen first." Chen Rou said.
This person is a man of unbridled temper and is really full of energy.
"Why ask him? I have made such a big sacrifice for him. If he dares to stop me from opening my own hair salon, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce him!" said Ma Yuling.
Chen Rou said tactfully, "I'm afraid I'm too busy to handle it. How embarrassing it would be to just invest money without managing it?"
"Don't refuse. I just want to cooperate with you because you have such a good reputation. Let me tell you, it's really fashionable in the provincial capital. Last time, I just wanted to buy two nice sets of clothes, but seeing how popular it is in the city, I followed suit. It will definitely become popular here as well, so we don't have to worry about lack of business then." Ma Yuling said.
"What reputation? You're probably afraid that the capital is too high and your Chen the Public Security won't agree, so you want to find me as a partner." Chen Rou was a little moved by what she said and said.
She had also seen it on color TV, and it was indeed quite trendy.
"I have some concerns about this." Ma Yuling said, looking at her: "Then will you cooperate?"
"Can you do it? I see you don't have any experience in this area." Chen Rou said to her.
"Isn't experience gained through trial and error? Didn't you have no experience before you opened the shop? We don't have many, so we can just bring back two machines first and wait and see. If the business is good, we can add more machines then." Ma Yuling said.
Chen Rou didn't know why the conversation ended up like this. She looked at her and said, "Then go find out first. Come back and tell me when you're done. You don't know anything yet."
"Okay." Ma Yuling didn't expect her to agree right away. She found her goal again and changed her previous listlessness. She said, "Sorry to bother you. I'll go back first."
Chen Rou then sent her out.
After a while, Han Guobin also came back. Amazingly, he said, "Wife, what did you tell her? She went back and directly said she wanted to resign."
He was also talking to Chen Gongan, and Chen Gongan also expressed his intention, which was to ask his wife to quit her job, but his wife would definitely not agree, and this was the biggest point of conflict.
But I didn't expect that after he came to my house, he would directly say that he wanted to resign and not do that job anymore.
Chen Rou laughed and said, "Just wait and see, she's going to get even bigger later." Although I've been Ma Yuling's neighbor for such a long time, this is the first time I've known that she has such a personality.
Han Guobin looked confused.
"You don't need to understand these things between women." Chen Rou waved her hand.
Because Ma Yuling had already given in and quit her job, Chen Gongan did not hold a grudge against her. However, when he heard that his wife was determined to open a hair salon, Chen Gongan still frowned.
"This is a collaboration between me and Han Hang's mother. You know what kind of person she is. There's no one else with her character in the entire area. She has cooperated with me, so what are you worried about?" Ma Yuling teased him.
"Okay, okay, if you want to do it, just do it." Chen Gongan said.
"Go get me some footwashing water right now and wash my feet properly. I'm going to have to deal with you on this matter. Otherwise, from today on, you'll go and sleep with your son!" said Ma Yuling.
What else can Chen Gongan say with scratches on his face? This woman is very aggressive, so I can only get a basin of water for washing feet, wash her feet, and let her be my slave so that I can vent my anger.
Ma Yuling has resigned and everyone is talking about it again. Some of the comments are really vicious. She cannot prove her innocence even after resigning and is directly accused of having a guilty conscience.
"If she was guilty, why didn't she quit all those years ago? Ma Yuling is acting uprightly. She only quit for the sake of Chen Gongan's reputation. Please stop spreading rumors." This is what Chen Rou said when she heard it.
In this residential area, Chen Rou and Ma Yuling's reputations can be said to be at two extremes.
Ma Yuling is not a good person, but Chen Rou is a good person. In the eyes of the older generation, she is a typical good wife and mother, and a daughter-in-law who brings good fortune to the family.
Of course, this situation has completely changed since this year.
Chen Rou also knew before that many people said that being a self-employed person was embarrassing for her husband.
But later on, such statements became less common, because it was not uncommon to see individual business owners setting up stalls in the streets and alleys.
Of course, the reason why Chen Rou’s reputation has become so good this year is because of the honor that the boss has fought for her.
This year, Principal Zhu came to visit us in person, and the eldest son’s reputation as a top student in the Hanhang School became well-known in this community.
What is the most valuable thing in this era? College student.
A child who can read is a good child, not to mention that Han Hang was able to ask the principal to visit the family in person. How bad can the parents be to raise such a child?
Thinking about how Chen Rou has been steady, gentle and low-key over the years, she didn't tell anyone that her son ranked first in the county exam last year, and she also didn't tell anyone that her son ranked first in his grade when he was admitted to high school.
As a result, she was praised as a low-key good mother by everyone, and after Han Guobin was laid off, he also started a business with her and became known as the prosperous daughter-in-law of a family.
Ma Yuling, who is wearing high heels, lipstick, a permed hair and red pants, is not an ordinary person.
I just don’t know since when, but the neighbors around have seen Ma Yuling coming to their house from time to time.
Ma Yuling's perm shop opened in September when the children went back to school.
I don’t know how she poached people, but she brought back a hairdresser from the provincial capital and bought two machines. She also found the store herself.
Just like she said before, Chen Rou only needs to invest the money and she will take care of the rest.
Following Chen Rou's suggestion, Ma Yuling distributed a lot of flyers, which were printed with celebrities' popular hairstyles and store addresses.
In the shop, there are posters of celebrities, all of whom are pretty, beautiful and elegant.
Moreover, the shop offers a 50% discount in the first three days of opening, so perming your hair is only half the price. Isn’t that why many young girls come here to try it?
Ma Yuling herself is a trademark. She is a beauty with an oval face and good looks. With her fashionable outfit, she looks particularly trendy.
When people see it, they will want to try it. After one or two tries, more and more people will try it.
This is how Ma Yuling’s perm shop was opened.
In the first month, he took out half of the invested capital from Chen Rou and said, "We'll split it 50-50. You can look at the account book yourself. The money is divided."
"So many?" Chen Rou asked in surprise.
"It's okay. I'm going to open a clothing store later, specializing in selling red skirts, red pants, high heels and lipsticks. Do you want to pay it back?" Ma Yuling asked.
"You want to use human resources to lead the fashion trend in our county." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Ma Yuling said: "If I wear them personally, they will think I am wearing strange clothes. I will let all the beautiful women in the county wear them and dress up. I don't think they can say anything when they see me!"
"Okay, let's form a partnership. Bring me the account book with the capital. I'll pay sixty and you fourty." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Just split it all equally." said Ma Yuling.
"I'm not in charge. You're the one who's busy. You take 60% of the profits and I'll take 40%. " Chen Rou said.
"Don't tell me this. It's because of you that I decided to do this." Ma Yuling said.
It was only after I decided to go out and do it that I realized that making money in business is not that difficult!
Of course the most important thing is that she earns much more than before. After adding two to five, it is still more than three times her previous salary!
If she had known it was so easy, she would have done it a long time ago.
Of course, she got the inspiration from Chen Rou. She didn't come here to listen to her nagging. She really didn't want to quit and wanted to fight the rumors to the end.
She also knew the temper of her own man, and she was afraid that in the end this family would be broken up by those people's rumors.
"How about letting Chengzi be my goddaughter?" Ma Yuling said again.
Chen Rou laughed: "You really think of it."
"Whatever you want to say, I like all of them in your family. Otherwise, Chen Bing wouldn't have allowed them to play so well with me. I always chased other people's children away, but I never chased these ones in your family, although I didn't have a very good impression of you at that time." Ma Yuling said.
That's the truth.
But that's also because the four children in Chen Rou's family are very clean. Even when Chen Rou was the youngest, she kept everything clean and tidy. She would take a bath every day at home in the summer.
Every week in winter, the children had to go to the bathhouse with their father to scrub themselves. They all loved cleanliness, so Ma Yuling naturally didn't dislike it so much.
Of course, her son also came over every day, so she couldn't bring herself to chase him away.
Chen Rou smiled.
"I already have a son, so I wanted a daughter. However, when I gave birth to Chen Bing, my sister-in-law pushed me and I almost didn't give birth. I was injured and I haven't been pregnant since then." Ma Yuling said.
"What?" Chen Rou frowned.
"It's all old news, but my husband had a falling out with his family, so he just moved out. He takes some money back home every year, and doesn't go back at other times. He just wants to have some peace and quiet." Ma Yuling said.
At that time, she was not only pushed by her sister-in-law, but also beaten by her mother-in-law. The mother and daughter beat her, a pregnant woman.
Ma Yuling never had a good relationship with her husband's family throughout her life. Apart from a little money every year, she didn't get any other money.
"Okay, when Chengzi comes back, I'll tell her, how can I not be happy to have someone love her?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Then you can ask her. If she is willing to recognize me as her godmother, I will prepare a share of her dowry when she gets married!" Ma Yuling said.
"You're so young, yet you're talking about something so far." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Chen Rou told Han Guobin about this matter again, and Han Guobin was still a little unhappy: "Don't lead our daughter astray."
This is also an old-fashioned man. He actually doesn't like the way Ma Yuling dresses.
Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him: "You must know what your daughter is like, but I think Yuling is pretty good."
I didn’t know much about her before, but now that I know her, I find that she is a straightforward person, a bit like her elder sister-in-law.
If she hates someone, she will never get close to that person. She is a very stubborn person.
As for the dressing style, it is actually very common in later generations, except that it was a bit avant-garde at that time. But avant-garde is avant-garde, so what? Just do what you like.
"You still ask me? You have already agreed in your heart." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then don't stop me."
What else can Han Guobin say? As long as his wife is happy, that's enough.
Among the kids, only Han Cheng and a girl from the neighboring family came back after school. The other brothers were all away, as they had gone out to play basketball.
Chen Rou asked her daughter, "Chengzi, what do you think of your Aunt Ling?"
"It's pretty good. Last time I went there, they let me take half a watermelon home to eat." Han Cheng said as he washed a tomato and ate it.
"People outside don't have a very good opinion of your Aunt Ling." Chen Rou looked at her and said.
"Isn't it because Aunt Ling stands out from the crowd? Those reviews are just hearsay. My second brother and the fourth brother often go there, and I have never seen anything bad about Aunt Ling." Han Cheng shook his head.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then do you want to recognize your Aunt Ling as your godmother?"
"Godmother?" Han Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at her mother and said, "Why do you want to recognize Aunt Ling as your godmother? I already have you, my mother."
Chen Rou was still comforted after hearing this, and smiled: "Mother is mother, godmother is godmother, if you want to recognize a godmother, then recognize her, if not, then forget it."
"Why do you want me to become your godmother out of the blue?" Han Cheng wanted to refuse.
"It wasn't me who said that. It was your aunt Ling who said that. She said that she only had a son, Chen Bing, and had always wanted a daughter, but she hadn't given birth yet. Seeing that you were pretty, she wanted to adopt you. She also said that when you get married in the future, she will prepare a dowry for you." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"How old am I to think so far ahead?" Han Cheng said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Is it settled then?"
"Yeah." Han Cheng nodded.
It's not about the dowry or not. It was her aunt Ling who proposed it, and she had this idea. She also had a good impression of her aunt Ling, so there was nothing wrong with recognizing her as a godparent.
Ma Yuling was very happy.
Chen Gongan's real name is Chen Mingli, but everyone is used to calling him Chen Gongan.
Chen Gongan was also very happy. He got along well with Han Guobin, and Chen Rou was also a reasonable person. It was all thanks to her that his wife was able to leave her job at work. In addition, she was able to educate the children so well. He could never have too many relatives like her.
The next day, Ma Yuling went to buy two skirts for Han Cheng and also set up a banquet.
"Then from now on, Orange, you are my sister too." Chen Bing said with a smile.
"If anyone dares to bully your sister at school, don't worry about it, just beat them up. Then find the parents, let mom do it!" Ma Yuling said directly.
This domineering declaration made everyone laugh and cry.
However, the marriage was accepted, and the two families became closer because of it.
The neighbors were all puzzled when they saw the two families having dinner together. Why would Chen Rou get involved with Ma Yuling like that?
Isn't this going to tarnish your reputation?
An old lady who had a very good impression of Chen Rou said this.
"Yuling didn't do those things. In order to prove her innocence, she even gave up such a good job. We are all women, so we should be more tolerant of each other and stop staring at her." Chen Rou said.
"How can she dress like that if it's good?" the old lady disagreed.
"Auntie, how long have you not been out on the street? There are so many people dressed like that outside now. The daughter-in-law of the old Jiao family just went to Yuling to get her hair done yesterday." Chen Rou said.
"Mrs. Jiao is very angry." said the old lady.
"Old people should be calm and not care too much about young people's affairs. It's a new era now. Those stars dress like that. It's not a problem of their character. You will get used to it after seeing it more." Chen Rou said.
"You are impeccable in educating children, but you are confused about this," said the stubborn old lady.
After she finished speaking, she left. Chen Rou: “…” I really don’t understand why you are so enthusiastic about caring about how other people live. Isn’t it better for you to just live your own life?
But it has to be said that Ma Yuling's permed hair is gradually becoming famous.
I originally bought two hair curling machines, but later I bought two more, bringing the total to four.
But even so, there are still quite a few people waiting in line, all holding celebrity magazines and reading them, waiting to get whichever one looks good.
It’s lively and crowded, and there’s no shortage of topics when you come here to get your hair permed.
"It looks very fashionable, but if I do this again, my mother-in-law will definitely scold me for being restless." said a new daughter-in-law.
"What generation did your mother-in-law belong to? And what generation do we belong to? It's only now that things have become more open, otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to dress up nicely. If you calculate, how many years younger can we still be?" said the sister who brought her here to get her hair permed.
These words touched the hearts of many people. In the future, it will be difficult to do what they want because of their age.
And nowadays there are quite a lot of people with big hair on the streets, which is indeed very trendy and fashionable.
Chen Rou came over and saw that there were quite a lot of people queuing up, so she suggested to Ma Yuling to add two more hair curling machines.
"Four is enough," said Ma Yuling.
"If we add two more machines, I think the perm shop will have to put them on the ground. Buy them and take advantage of this favorable trend. Otherwise, if others follow suit, a lot of people will be diverted away." Chen Rou said.
Ma Yuling was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call them and ask them to send it over tomorrow!"
Chen Rou next to her didn't say anything else. Having six curling machines was naturally great.
It's October now, and Chen Rou is very busy.
During the autumn harvest season, so much grain begins to be transported to the city. The busy work starts in early September and continues until the end of the year.
After the perm salon stabilized, Ma Yuling started to work on a trendy clothing store.
She has all the red skirts and red pants, lipstick high heels, and a bat-eye shirt with mirror.
She was busy with all these things and Chen Rou had no time to manage them, so much so that in October, when Han Cheng brought her godmother's account book to show her, Chen Rou was stunned.
"My godmother told me to bring it to you for your review. This is the profit for this month," said Han Cheng.
"Your godmother is really capable. She's earned so much." Chen Rou smacked her lips. It's almost a thousand yuan. After dividing it equally, each person can earn about five hundred yuan!
"My godmother said that it's almost the end of the year, so there will be more people. After the new year, business will probably slow down." Han Cheng said.
Chen Rou nodded.
In the evening, Ma Yuling brought her the money, and they divided it equally, half the amount.
Chen Rou looked at her face now and found that there was not a trace of the former listlessness. On the contrary, she was very confident.
"I think Chengzi's godfather saw it. What did he say?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.
"What else can I say? I'm just speechless." Ma Yuling said proudly, "That bear man, what I earn in a month is equal to what he earns in half a year, but now he doesn't even dare to fart in front of me."
Chen Rou laughed and said, "Be gentle and don't be so arrogant. He used to earn more than you and he also loved you."
"I'm not arrogant, I just feel a little proud. I've been holding my breath these days, wanting to achieve some results," said Ma Yuling.
Now this performance has given her enough confidence.
Ma Yuling came over to talk to Chen Rou, while Chen Gongan was drinking some wine and eating some peanuts with Han Guobin.
"What's wrong?" Han Guobin asked after drinking three cups of wine.
"Does your wife earn more or less than you every month?" asked Chen Gongan.
How could Han Guobin not know what he was thinking? He said, "After I got laid off, I started hanging out with my wife. What do you think?"
Chen Gongan smiled and said, "What did your wife say you didn't have?"
"That's my wife. What can she say about me? I didn't say anything." Han Guobin said, looking at him and said, "Do hair salons and clothing stores make a lot of money?"
"After the accounts are divided, it should be about 500 yuan a month." Chen Gongan said, "It's equivalent to my half-year salary."
Han Guobin smiled and said, "Then you are lucky too."
"What a good life! You've become a gigolo." said Chen Gongan.
"What's the point of living off a woman? Only ordinary men can have a life of luxury, but you have to be lucky enough to do so," said Han Guobin.
"I see you are still so complacent." Chen Gongan looked at him.
"My wife is capable, so my stress is reduced by half. Your wife is capable, but you are not happy?" Han Guobin said.
"Don't call me so pedantic. It's not that I'm unhappy, but the gap is too big," said Chen Gongan.
"A couple only have one kang and one quilt, what's the big difference?" Han Guobin said, waving his hand.
Chen Gongan didn't understand what he meant at first, but he understood later and immediately laughed, saying, "Then I'm selling my body."
"Just be happy in secret." Han Guobin was almost satisfied after drinking two glasses with him.
After Chen Gongan waited for him to come back, he went to bed. Actually, he didn't sleep because he was waiting for his wife.
Ma Yuling came back at around nine o'clock. Seeing the things on the table that hadn't been cleaned up, she muttered, "There's only so much stuff left for me to clean up."
After a quick tidying up, I saw that it was getting late, so I went out, locked the door, and told my son to study until 9:30 before going to bed, and then returned to my room.
I had just laid down on the bed when the man next to me suddenly pressed on me like a zombie.
"You stinky man, you scared me!" Ma Yuling patted him and said.
"Wife." Chen Gongan called out, and then went about his own business.
Ma Yuling started by beating him, and then hugged his neck.
Afterwards, she was hugged by Chen Gongan like a little woman, and he pinched her waist lightly: "You stinky man."
Chen Gongan was so satisfied that he thought that this woman really needed this trick to be dealt with.
"Go to bed early and try to buy a color TV for our family. I can't do it anymore, so I'm counting on you, my wife." Chen Gongan said.
Ma Yuling was about to blurt out, "Of course you can't do it," and then mock her by saying, "Didn't you stop me from doing it in the first place?" But when she thought of what Chen Rou said, she changed her words to, "Don't tell me you can't do it. You are the head of the family, and you have to support the family."
"I only earn so little." said Chen Gongan.
"That's just a small amount. In our county, most people make 40 to 50 yuan a month. Besides, you are a police officer. Who around us dares to look down on us? We have a high social status." Ma Yuling said.
"Do you really think so?" Chen Gongan looked at her and said.
"What else?" Ma Yuling asked, and then she hit him lightly and whispered, "And I also like to see you in the police uniform. That's how you fascinated me back then."
Chen Gongan was so happy that the couple spent the whole night together. When they woke up the next day, there was tenderness and love in each other's eyes.
Chen Bing couldn't help but say, "Mom and Dad, you two are already this old, why do you still look like the newlyweds in TV shows?"
"You little brat, go to school quickly after eating. Watch less TV and study more!" Ma Yuling lectured.
"Your mother is right!" said Chen Gongan.
"Don't worry about him. Eat more. I fried an egg especially for you." Ma Yuling said as she picked up an egg for him.
"Don't be too tired." Chen Gongan looked at her and said.
"Why should I be tired? Come back early today and I will make you your favorite braised pork." Ma Yuling rolled her eyes at him and said.
"Okay." Chen Gongan was also happy.
Chen Bing felt that he was full without eating, he was full from eating the dog food his parents gave him.
After the father and son finished their meal, one went to work and the other went to school. Ma Yuling came over to check on the shop and also came to the bun shop.
Chen Rou had just given the customer change when she asked, "Would you like a bowl of soy milk?"
"I don't want to drink anymore." Ma Yuling shook her head.
Chen Rou asked Han Guoli to take care of it, then came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I did what you said last night. That bear hugged me and wouldn't let go all night. I almost got a stiff neck this morning." Ma Yuling complained.
The words were full of complaints, but the brightness between her eyes and brows could not be concealed.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "You two have a good relationship. I don't need to say anything."
"No." Ma Yuling looked at her and said, "I now understand why Chengzi's father and you have such a good relationship, and why all the children have grown up so well."
No matter how good a relationship is, it still requires management.
She believed that if she had said what she said last night, she would be happy, but her bear man would be greatly shocked.
But she followed the route Chen Rou pointed out, and this bear guy told her that he would go home early when he went to work this morning.
He held her tightly last night as well.
Which of these two results does she want? Obviously, she prefers the second result.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Go open the shop. Go to the grocery store after get off work to get the meat. I'll keep it for you."
Ma Yuling went to open the shop first.
Now it's October and the weather is getting cold.
After Chen Rou came over, she said to Han Guobin, "Shall I knit you a new sweater this year?"
I don't need cotton coats, cotton pants, cotton shoes, etc. I have them all. I also have a sweater, which I knitted more than ten years ago, but I didn't buy it until
