Han's mother came over, but Chen Rou didn't say anything.
Han Guobin, the son, went over and sat there, but he did not ask his mother to come over.
After all, he didn't want to cause trouble for his wife, and he himself was not sincere, so there was no need to be so hypocritical. It was good enough to live in the third brother's house.
Mrs. Han went back the day after her mother came over, after learning that the matter of the third room had been temporarily suppressed.
This time, she was really upset!
Because her father-in-law, Han's father, came to the house for dinner, and because he also gave her food, even if Han's wife was not happy, what could she say?
But she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. Why did Song Xiaoyu need the old lady to come and calm her down so that she could take the man away and leave her father-in-law to her as the first wife?
Especially this time, the villagers had a very good impression of Song Xiaoyu coming to take Old Lady Han to live in the city, and many even praised him for not loving the third couple in vain.
Mrs. Han naturally didn't want the third room to break up. She was worried about them before, but now everything is fine, so she won't be polite to Song Xiaoyu, let alone cover for her.
When she was complaining to Dagui's wife and Shuanzi's wife about her father-in-law coming to eat here, she exploded when she heard them say a few words that her third brother's wife was quite filial.
"What do you mean by filial piety? If she hadn't invited the old lady over this time, my third uncle would have divorced her. Do you really think she is filial? It's just a superficial effort. With her attitude, how can she be truly filial?" Mrs. Han said directly.
She was already angry about this, and even if her father-in-law brought food over, she didn't want to get involved, otherwise she would get used to it in the future! Why is that?
Now when she heard that her sister-in-law Song Xiaoyu had actually gained a good reputation, how could she agree to it? Not even think about it!
Sure enough, Dagui’s wife Shuanzi’s wife was caught by the word "divorce" and quickly asked what was going on?
Mrs. Han didn't let it go and directly exposed Song Xiaoyu's past: "After entering the city, she was so capable. My third aunt gave her a place to live, and my second uncle gave her a meat stall. What else does her Song family have? But my third brother's wife is capable. She doesn't like the meat stall introduced by my second uncle at all. She thinks it's embarrassing. My third uncle has to sell a pig every day and is very busy, but she doesn't even cook for him. Her son has to get up and cook for his father, and then he eats and goes to school. She makes trouble at home every day, dislikes the man for not being motivated and dislikes her son for not making her face with poor grades. This time she made a big fuss and directly said that my third uncle is having an affair with a woman outside!"
"That's impossible. Your third uncle is having an affair with a woman outside? I see your third uncle can only nod and bow in front of his wife." Shuanzi's wife said in surprise.
"Of course she can't do that. The whole village knows that my third uncle is her slave. In the end, wasn't it proved that she was just imagining things? But my third uncle can't stand her anymore. He wants to divorce her this time. Guess what? None of my two nephews want to be with their mother. They all want to be with their father. Some even persuaded their parents to divorce!" said Mrs. Han.
"Why haven't you heard of these?" asked Dagui's wife.
"My second brother's wife is a tight-lipped person who never talks about these things. If it hadn't caused such a big fuss and I happened to be there, I might not have known about it!" Han's eldest sister-in-law snorted coldly, "She is so powerful and domineering. Now she has forced my third uncle to want to divorce her and live separately. Now she is afraid. It must be her family's idea. Otherwise, do you think she can take the old lady over?"
After what Mrs. Han said, Song Xiaoyu's rare reputation collapsed.
Han's father heard about the almost divorce and came to the eldest brother to confirm it.
"How could it be false? If her parents hadn't been smart enough to give her this idea, Song Xiaoyu would have had to pack up her things and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her third uncle to get a divorce certificate. Her third uncle had already made up his mind to divorce her and didn't want to live with her anymore. Her two nephews also wanted to be with their father instead of their ever-nagging mother!" said Mrs. Han.
Brother Han was kind-hearted. Seeing his father's expression change, he said, "Mom has passed away. As long as she is here, the third brother will not divorce his third brother's wife. Don't worry, Dad."
Only then did Han's father feel relieved.
Chen Rou heard about what happened in the village from Uncle Donkey who delivered the goods the next day.
Chen Rou could imagine her sister-in-law's angry look. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't say anything.
Now the father-in-law must be eating with the eldest wife. Even if her sister-in-law will not refuse, she will definitely not feel comfortable. It is only normal for her to teach Song Xiaoyu a lesson.
After finishing her housework, Chen's mother came to the grocery store. She hasn't gone home yet. In fact, she wants to go back, but her daughter won't let her.
When she came over, Chen Rou was the only one in the grocery store. Han Guobin went to sit with Lao Yang. Now it was getting closer to the end of the year and the pig farm was about to start slaughtering pigs. He had to go over and lend a hand, otherwise he would just take the dividends.
"Now that your mother-in-law is here, you can't just pretend you don't know." Chen's mother came over to help collect the money, and only said this after the guests left.
"What else do you want from me?" Chen Rou said.
"You are not allowed to live in our house, but you should still take some of your things over," said Chen's mother.
"No need for that. She sent a lot of things in two days before she came to the city. They were all for the third room. Now that she lives there, it doesn't bother me." Chen Rou said.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "Are you still fussing about this?"
"This is not a matter of pettiness. The third room has received so many kindnesses from the old man, and now that they have moved in, they should serve them. This is what the couple should do. Guobin can just go over and sit for a while and that's all." Chen Rou said.
Mother Chen stopped talking and turned to the topic of Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu: "Is this the end?"
"It's over for now. How they live in the future is up to them." Chen Rou said.
Their relatives have nothing to say about the couple's affairs. After all, they are not the ones helping them to live their lives.
"Your third brother scared your third sister-in-law in the same way back then. Now he's still doing well and doesn't dare to invite those people from her family over here." Chen's mother said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "My third brother has become rich now. My third sister-in-law would be stupid not to want to live with him."
The oil press has enough soybeans and peanuts, so the oil production is particularly sufficient.
We settle the bill once a month and there is no backlog. We not only supply goods here, but also supply goods to other places in the town.
Even though the profit is relatively thin, the monthly income is now higher than before, which has increased significantly.
A "ten thousand yuan household" refers to someone with an annual income of ten thousand yuan, which is considered a ten thousand yuan household. However, her third brother's current annual income is almost enough to be two ten thousand yuan households. Although it is still a little short, his income is definitely high.
It’s just that the money didn’t fall into the hands of her third sister-in-law. The household accounts were managed by her third brother and her mother.
"If she was reliable, I would have wanted to leave her alone and have some peace and quiet. Just a few days before I went to the city, she went back to her parents' home. I guess she took back the money she had saved." said Chen's mother.
The third daughter-in-law doesn't have much money, only a few dozen yuan a month. For an ordinary family, that is definitely a lot, almost as much as last month's salary.
But the family is well off now, so they don't care about that anymore. It's her business whether she wants to give the money she saved for herself to her parents' home.
Chen's mother really didn't say anything. As long as she wasn't invited back from her parents' home and didn't cause trouble at home, she didn't care about anything else.
It is true that every family has its own problems.
Han Guobin had lunch at the pig farm and continued to help after that.
The old sheep asked, "How are your shops doing this year?"
Han Guobin said: "It's not bad. With your income included, we can barely make it to the 10,000 yuan household." What does it mean to barely make it to the 10,000 yuan household? Now the monthly income has increased again, from the original 3,000 yuan to almost 4,000 yuan now, and this does not include the income from the cooperation between his wife and Ma Yuling.
But he won't tell the truth.
But Lao Yang is a businessman, so he knows it clearly. It’s hard to say with too little information.
Lao Yang accepted this income. He himself had already earned ten thousand yuan, so he didn't really need his income.
"If the pig farmers who bought in next year are successful, we can set up a bacon factory, and then the business will definitely be better." said Lao Yang.
"If there is that much meat, I would also like to ship our bacon out of the province." Han Guobin said.
"That's not easy." Lao Yang couldn't help being moved when he heard that, and said, it would definitely be good if the business could be that big.
"I'm familiar with the roads outside, but let's leave it this way for now. We'll deal with the rest after it's done," said Han Guobin.
The old sheep nodded.
When Han Guobin returned home in the evening, he brought a pig's head home with him.
Chen Rou doesn't know how to handle such a big pig's head, but Chen's mother does. Her eyes lit up when she saw the pig's head.
"Go to the bathhouse and take a shower first, and come back to eat later." Chen Rou said, she still smelled after coming back from the pig farm.
Han Guobin went next door to call Chen Gongan, but Chen Gongan didn't want to go because he had just washed clothes two days ago. However, Ma Yuling got him clothes and sent him out.
"Why do I feel you are so busy? Apart from those shops, what other business do you have?" Chen Gongan and Han Guobin came to the bathhouse and said as they rubbed each other's backs.
"I partnered with someone to set up a pig farm, and went there." Han Guobin said.
Chen Gongan smacked his lips and said, "You're really good at this."
With three shops and a pig farm, this neighbor must be a millionaire, right? After all, his wife's perm shop and clothing store have a monthly income of nearly 700 yuan. At the end of the year, that would be enough to make over 10,000 yuan.
Han Guobin asked him to rub it first, and then he rubbed it for him. They both washed themselves clean before coming back.
Chen Gongan smelled the fragrance when he returned home.
"Wife, where does the smell of meat come from?" said Chen Gongan.
"Bring this orange here as a gift to your godfather." Ma Yuling said with a smile, and she also brought a bottle of wine to the bear man and poured him a glass: "This is pig's head meat, it goes just right with a glass of wine."
"Dad, hurry up. I've been waiting for you. I've been craving for food for a long time." Chen Bing said greedily.
"Please sit down." Ma Yuling said.
"Wife, please sit down and eat together." Chen Gongan looked at his wife and said.
Ma Yuling went to bring out a soup and sat down.
Chen Gongan smiled and sipped Wuliangye, which went well with the braised pork head. The taste was indescribable.
"Wife, you don't have to buy me such good wine next time." Chen Gongan said contentedly.
The price of Wuliangye has increased now. It used to cost one yuan per bottle, but now it’s doubled. It’s still not cheap.
"I'll buy it for you and drink it." Ma Yuling said.
"My mom loves you, Dad, so she doesn't want to give you something bad to drink. Just be happy. If I could marry a wife like her in the future, I would wake up with a smile on my face even in my dreams." Chen Bing said as he stuffed meat into his mouth.
"How old are you, little brat, and you already want to get married!" Ma Yuling glared.
"It's time to think about it now. When I go to college, I can go out on my own. It will be soon." Chen Gongan said happily, "Wait until this boy gets married, then we will separate him and his wife and I will live on our own."
"Okay." Ma Yuling nodded.
Chen Bing felt that he was too full, too full of dog food.
When Han Guobin from next door came home, he also smelled the aroma of meat all over the yard.
"Why does it take you so long to take a shower?" Chen Rou said.
The bath lasted for half an hour, and the two of them were so engrossed in it that they forgot about time.
Han Guobin smiled and said, "It will be too late if you don't pay attention now."
Chen Rou brought the plate to the table. The aroma of the braised pork head was so delicious that the children couldn't wait any longer and started eating!
"My mother-in-law's cooking skills are amazing," Han Guobin praised.
Mother Chen was very happy and said with a smile: "It's because you brought home this big pig head. It will be very fragrant when stir-fried."
"It smells so good, Dad. Bring home a few more pig heads next time. I didn't know pig head meat is so delicious!" Han Laosi said while eating.
"If you take too much, you won't find it delicious anymore." Chen Rou said.
"If it's always like this time, I won't get tired of eating it every day." said Han Laosi.
Han Hang and Han Zhou were both silent at this moment, and so was Chengzi, as they were both eating braised pork head with hot steamed buns.
After eating and drinking, they all curled up on the sofa to watch TV. It was a rare time of relaxation. They ate a little too much, probably because the pig head cooked by their grandma was so delicious.
"There's half left in the pot. Grandma will cook some for you tomorrow. Eat them before going to school." Mother Chen was happy to see her grandchildren looking so satisfied after the meal, and she said with a smile.
"Grandma, why don't you stay here until the New Year, and ask my dad to bring one back in a couple of days!" said Han Laosi.
"Yes, grandpa and my third uncle are at home." Orange also said.
"I see you guys came here just to see grandma's cooking skills, so I want to stay and let her cook for you," said Han Zhou.
"You sound like you haven't eaten enough." Han Laosi said.
"I don't eat as much as my big brother." Han Zhou said.
"Studying takes a lot of brain power." Han Hang waved his hand: "But grandma can stay until the New Year and then go back. We will have a holiday soon, and then I will take grandma to see a movie."
"Forget about watching movies. There's TV to watch every day. Why would we need to go to the movies?" said Chen's mother.
She actually didn't plan to stay for long, but her mother-in-law was coming over, and if she went back, the old lady from the Han family would come and live with her, and if her daughter didn't allow it, people would gossip about her.
So Chen's mother decided very simply that she would go back whenever Old Lady Han went back.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin were eating slowly, but they were still eating when they asked, "Lu Dan sent a message saying that Third Brother wanted to buy a color TV to take back?"
"Your third brother is just that kind of person, very boastful. That's why I'm holding on to him, otherwise he would have wanted to buy it last year," said Chen's mother.
"You can buy it this year." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"It's okay this year. I won't stop him. Just buy it. With a TV, people of all ages in the village will gather around to peel peanuts, which is not bad." Chen's mother said with a smile.
Chen Rou said: "The room is not spacious enough, I need to ask my third brother to renovate it."
"Your third brother has connected the old house of your eldest and second brothers. Nowadays, when it's cold, they peel peanuts there. It would be nice to put a TV inside." Chen's mother said.
Chen Rou nodded. Han Guobin had already told Li Dayuan that he would bring her back from the provincial capital next time she came back.
But when it comes to this, I have to sigh that these men are more visionary than women.
For example, Chen Rou wanted to cut off contact with Li Dayuan, but Han Guobin and Li Dayuan were still pretty good friends. Although he ignored Li Dayuan when he was in police station last time, Li Dayuan still brought her a box of big apples from outside.
They are all very big and cannot be compared with the small apples here.
Of course, Han Guobin also sent him a can of peanut oil, and the relationship between the two was still very good.
Her third brother wanted to buy a color TV, so he had to go to the provincial capital. It was troublesome to go there specially, so Han Guobin asked Li Dayuan to take him.
Chen Rou had almost finished her meal, and seeing Han Guobin enjoying his meal, she said, "Have some of this lotus root soup, too."
"Wife, can you eat something more with me?" Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou decided not to eat anymore as she was full.
Because the food was so good, Han Guobin made a scene at night. After Chen Rou scolded him and called him a bad boy, she was still immersed in it.
The snow came relatively late this year, not until the end of October in the lunar calendar. But it was a heavy snow, and the county town was covered in silver overnight.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin's shops also started to get busy. The chickens and ducks from the countryside were all sent to the city. Fortunately, Chen Rou slaughtered and weighed the ducks before sending them in.
Otherwise, how could we be so busy here? Even if Chen's mother didn't go back to help in the shop, there wouldn't be enough manpower.
Tiedan and his wife are also busy. Tiedan's wife also has to take care of their daughter, but it's not easy.
The same is true in Han Guolin. Now he has to ride a bicycle back to his hometown every day to transport mutton.
God damn it, he came here to sell them in Zaicheng. The purchase price wasn't too high, but he made a lot of profit from selling them.
The profit is several times higher than that of selling pork. After all, pork has been sold through middlemen. The sheep raised by Cai Lihua and Han Guoming are third-hand, so they make a lot of money.
Song Xiaoyu said that it was too tiring and asked him to stop selling, but Han Guolin worked very hard.
Pork is easy to sell at the end of the year and can usually be sold out in the morning.
After lunch, he rode his bicycle back to his hometown to collect sheep. The next morning, he would sell the mutton along with the pork, so he didn't have to worry about it going bad.
This day is the best frozen.
After calculating the profit after selling the first sheep, Song Xiaoyu was stunned: "How can there be so much money?" The profit from selling the first sheep, this is almost 20 yuan.
How much profit can you make from selling a pig? If you sell one more pig every day, you can make a profit of 100 yuan a month. Of course, this is under the premise that you don't eat free meat at home. If you bring meat home every day, the monthly profit will only be around 300 to 500 yuan.
On average, the profit per pig is about six yuan.
The sheep is almost as big as three pigs.
"The profit margin of pork is too low." Song Xiaoyu couldn't help but say.
"Other meat stalls also sell pigs at the same price, and they have to make a profit when they buy pigs. They send the pigs directly to my stall to be sold." Han Guolin was not too surprised.
Since the profit is so high, Song Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't stop it.
Han's mother was still there at this time. She planned to stay until the New Year and then go back with her son and daughter-in-law.
"Second son, you're the same. Why don't you ask Donkey to help load such a big truck? Why ask Guolin to go back by himself?" Han's mother was also reluctant to let him go out in such a cold weather, and said.
Song Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Who said it wasn't? I asked my second sister-in-law. It's just a sheep every day, only about 50 to 60 kilograms of meat. It's not a big deal to let them bring it over, but my second sister-in-law said there's no room for them!"
How much land can a sheep occupy? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could go back to the village to collect the chickens and ducks and help bring them over?
Song Xiaoyu felt that this meant he didn't want to help.
The truck is indeed not small, but it is really busy nowadays.
Of course Song Xiaoyu was not wrong in her guess. Chen Rou really didn't want to help. They each had their own business, so she shouldn't take it for granted that she was being ordered around.
Trucks transport peanut oil and grain every day. Recently, the grocery store has even added barrels of vinegar and soy sauce. They are all bought from Lao Yang's accomplice, a man named Lao Zhu, and the purchase price he gives is very good, provided that you buy the goods yourself.
So the family truck was busy, and Han Guolin rode his bicycle back to his hometown to collect mutton. Chen Rou really didn't think it was a big deal, as it was his own business.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Dayuan returned from the provincial capital and brought a large color TV to Han Guobin.
After paying Li Dayuan the money, Han Guobin asked Lu Dan to drive back to his hometown to transport the goods and then return the money to Brother Chen San.
Li Dayuan didn't make any money from Han Guobin, but Han Guobin couldn't let his hard work go in vain, so he gave him a leg of lamb. Li Dayuan was very happy and said with a smile: "I just feel a little weak recently, so I need to replenish my energy."
Han Guobin said: "I haven't learned my lesson from last time."
"Remember this! You can't catch me anymore." Li Dayuan said with a smile.
As for why they couldn't catch him, Han Guobin didn't ask. As he was busy at the end of the year, he just asked Li Dayuan to come over for tea when he was free during the New Year and didn't keep him any longer.
I was busy from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and only then did I finish. On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the grocery store was closed and the bun shop was also closed.
The only one left is the grain and oil shop owned by Tiedan and his wife, and the business of the grain and oil shop will continue until the 29th.
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the children went back to their hometown first. Chen's mother has also lived there until now, and Lu Danqi drove her back.
Han's wife Zhou Zhen and others came over and took Han Hang, Han Zhou and Chengzi to clean up the house first.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin had not returned yet, so the couple did not cook and went straight to the next room to eat with Chen Gongan and Ma Yuling.
The two families have a very good relationship now. After dinner, they watched TV. Ma Yuling said, "Your family is back home now, so the New Year's celebration is not lively anymore."
"I'll be back after the second day of the Chinese New Year." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Every year I stay in the village for a short time, just a few days. After visiting my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I usually go back to the city around the third or fourth day of the Chinese New Year. Of course, sometimes I don't come back until the fifth day.
"Then you can come back earlier so that we can go to the movies and take photos. I want to take family photos every year." Ma Yuling said.
"Then let's go together when the time comes." Chen Rou said.
After staying here for a while, the couple went back to their home. The three dogs at home were all well fed and were all very alert and good dogs, so there was no need to worry about leaving the children to them for care.
Han Guobin said: "When the children go back to the village, the house will be empty. Is this how we will live in 20 years?"
"It doesn't have to be twenty years, just twelve years will be enough. When the fourth child goes to college, there will be only two of us left at home." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin said: "I want to have another child."
Chen Rou: "...It doesn't matter how many children you have, they will all be the same. When they grow up, they will all fly away."
"Wife, they will all fly away in the future, and we will be the only ones left at home." Han Guobin hugged her and said emotionally.
Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him and said, "After the Chinese New Year, you'll be 42 already, and you're still using this trick."
Han Guobin pushed her down, closed the door outside, and the couple lay on the sofa and chatted with each other.
After a while, Han Guobin picked up his slim wife, turned off the lights and went into the house.
The next day, Ludan continued to drive people back home, sending his grandmother and his eldest sister-in-law's niece back. The two brothers Han Si and Han Bo also followed back.
Han Guolin took Song Xiaoyu on a bicycle to buy New Year's goods, and then the couple rode their bicycles back home.
Han Guobin and Chen Rou came to the grain and oil shop to help Tiedan. They did not announce their vacation until the 29th day of the lunar year. They did not open the shop for business until after the 7th day of the lunar year.
This year is even better than last year, and every household is filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Han Guobin drove the car, Chen Rou sat in the passenger seat, and Tiedan and Ludan sat in the back bed of the car, and they drove home.
As for the three dogs at home, Han Guoli was previously asked to feed them, but this year the task was given to Chen Bing.
Ma Yuling and Chen Gongan also assured them not to worry, and that their family would definitely help look after them.
In particular, Ma Yuling did not visit her husband's family during the Chinese New Year, and her relationship with her neighbors was not very good. Except for going back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year, she usually watched TV at home. After all, whether it was the hair salon or the clothing store, they were all closed, so it was a bit deserted.
But the village must be bustling at this time.
It's the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, how could it not be lively? When Chen Rou returned home, the house was clean inside and out.
Mrs. Han and the others came over to help clean up, and with more people around, things went faster.
When Chen Rou came back, she asked the children to carry New Year's goods to each household, including packages of brown sugar, jars of malted milk, and assorted candies.
And Mrs. Han was thoughtful. She had already let the dough rise for her yesterday, so when Chen Rou came back today she could steam buns and make dumplings directly.
When Mrs. Han came over with a few pieces of homemade tofu, Chen Rou was rolling out dough. Mrs. Han gave her a lot of dough, some of which she used to steam buns and the rest she used to make dumplings.
Seeing her sister-in-law coming over, Chen Rou smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please give me some noodles. I'll have something to do when I come back."
"That's nothing." Mrs. Han put the tofu away, took the knife board and started to help her chop the stuffing, saying, "I see that the two brothers have brought back a lot of extra wages?"
"It's busy at the end of the year, so we give them subsidies." Chen Rou said.
Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Why should we give any subsidies? Our wages are already high on weekdays."
"I heard from Chengzi that the old lady scolded you?" Chen Rou said.
"Even if she doesn't think it's unlucky during the Chinese New Year, I do!" Han Dasao said as she chopped the stuffing: "You don't know, when the old lady came back, the whole village praised her. If you didn't know, you would really think that my third brother's wife was a fairy who came down to earth!"
Han's mother lived in the city for such a long time, she was really comfortable. Her daughter-in-law bought her two sets of clothes and even gave her a new pair of shoes. How could Han's mother not be proud?
This time when we returned to the village, we immediately started to spread the news.
If it weren't for what happened to Mrs. Han, the villagers would definitely have praised him, but all his secrets were exposed by Mrs. Han.
Now, someone asked Han's mother: "Does Guolin really want to divorce his wife?"
Even though Han's mother had lived there for so long, she actually didn't know about this. Once she knew that it was the old lady who was making up the rumor, could she still let it go?
Naturally, they came to scold me.
But Han's sister-in-law was not afraid of her at all. She asked her to go back and ask her uncle and Song Xiaoyu if they wanted to get a divorce!
"My third sister-in-law will have to take note of you." Chen Rou said as she rolled out the dough neatly.
"Remember it if you want. With her personality, if you do her a thousand good things, she will be dissatisfied with one bad thing. Why should I worry about her?" Han Dasao disagreed: "Let her take all the good things, and I have to clean up her mess. I can't let her do whatever she wants."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Didn't Third Uncle go back to the village to buy mutton from Uncle Guoming? She came to me and asked me to ask the truck to bring it in, but I declined and said I didn't have time, so she asked Third Uncle to go by himself."
"The truck carries so much goods every time, so where do you find the time to help her load mutton? Just run your own business. You have to wait for people to deliver the goods to your door every day. She makes money so easily!" Mrs. Han snorted coldly.
"But Uncle Guoming's mutton is really delicious, and Guobin enjoys it very much." Chen Rou said.
"I ordered a leg of lamb, it was really delicious." Mrs. Han said with a smile.
"I brought back a lot of meat. Sister-in-law, are you prepared? Take some back later." Chen Rou said.
"Why would I need that? I prepared five pounds of good meat, chopped seven ribs, and put the eggs in a basket to eat. I've never had such a good year in my life." Mrs. Han said happily.
Now that her family's conditions are getting better and better, she is willing to spend money. For example, when a pig's head was just slaughtered in South Korea, she went there to buy some and save them for New Year's Day.
Chen Rou smiled and started to work with Mrs. Han.
Han Guobin from the other end of the old house sent over a bottle of wine, as well as other supplies, including two kilograms of fat meat that he brought back specially for the two elders to celebrate the New Year.
Han's mother said with a gloomy face: "Tell your wife not to gossip around in the village like Tiedan's mother did!"
Han Guobin ignored his mother and left his things behind. He then said, "Dad, I'm going to sit at the village party secretary's house first."
"Guolin, go with your second brother." Han's father nodded first, then called his youngest son.
Han Guolin nodded: "I just wanted to go over and sit with my second brother."
Han Guobin took him along and said to him, "We have to visit Guoming during the New Year."
"I know." Han Guolin nodded.
The two brothers went to the village party secretary's house.
Song Xiaoyu in the old house didn't like to go out, because she just found out that the news had spread all over the village.
It was her eldest sister-in-law who spread the news, and the whole village knew that she almost divorced Guolin, which was very embarrassing.
"Xiaoyu, come and help. We're going to have dumplings tonight." Han's mother went into the kitchen to help, and then she called her daughter-in-law.
Song Xiaoyu naturally came to help, and couldn't help complaining: "I don't know how I offended my sister-in-law. No one in the village knew that Guo Lin and I had a conflict. They wanted to cover it up, but she spread it to everyone, making it seem as if she and my brother had never had a quarrel!"
"I've scolded that bitch, but she's just a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. Don't bother with her. It's better for you and the third child to be living well." Han's mother comforted him.
Song Xiaoyu said aggrievedly: "Mom, don't think I have an easy time in the city. I also want to help Guolin, but I can't find a suitable job. Why does my sister-in-law say such harsh things?"
"Mom knows." Han's mother said. Since she came to the city, her daughter-in-law's performance has been impeccable.
Song Xiaoyu said as she cut the meat: "This is my eldest sister-in-law, but she doesn't even have this much of a heart. Are you blaming me for bringing you to the city and letting Dad go to her place to eat? I asked Dad to bring food over, and she didn't give me a single grain of rice!"
Mother Han snorted, "I also asked your father, and he said he took it over."
I should have known that they were both unreliable. The eldest father-in-law had to look at her mood every time he brought food to her for meals, not to mention the one from the second wife.
She had been living in the city for a while, but he had never even visited her, let alone asked her to live in his house.
But how long has the old lady from Old Chen’s family lived in the city since she moved there?
Her son married her, not as a son-in-law, and he still has to support her parents!
"There's no one we can rely on. From now on, my old man and I will have to go to the city and live with you." said Han's mother.
Song Xiaoyu's meat-cutting knife was shaking and she almost cut her hand!
"It's just that our house is too small, otherwise I would have brought you and dad to the city this time." Song Xiaoyu said with her smile stiffening.
"The house is a little small. You and the third child should save up and try to buy a bigger house." said Han's mother.
"How can it be that easy? The two brothers are studying, and they have tuition fees and other expenses every semester. They are also clamoring to buy a color TV. It takes so much money to buy a house. I don't know how long it will take to save up enough money. But my second brother and his wife have a really big yard, and it's their own." Song Xiaoyu said.
"Save up. When you want to buy one, your father and I have some savings that we can give to you. Try to buy a big one." Han's mother said.
Song Xiaoyu's face looked much better after hearing this. She said, "How can I use your money? Guolin and I will work hard to buy a big yard in the future. When the time comes, we will definitely take you to live in the city. Let everyone in the village envy you."
Mother Han was very happy. She talked about this with Father Han at night and said, "Among these three daughters-in-law, the third daughter-in-law is the most filial. She always wants to buy a big yard in the city so that she can take us to the city and make the people in the village envy us."
"The third family is very thoughtful." Han's father actually wanted to live in the city, but he had never lived in a city and had lived in the countryside all his life.
"But a big courtyard in the city is not cheap. If Guolin and Xiaoyu really buy it, we'll have to use our money to support them. It's not easy for them, and they'll live with the third child in the future, so we won't have any room for our money." Han's mother said.
"Yeah." Han's father had no objection. It wasn't easy for his son to be a parent, so it was his duty to help out.
