Chen Lingqiu looked at Wang Dan sarcastically, as if he had heard a joke.
"You've almost emptied your in-laws' house. Is there any woman in the world more vicious than you?
Shen Qinghe was a shabby girl before marriage and everyone disliked her, but after marriage she lived wholeheartedly with her man. "If your mother's family is not good, just cut off the relationship."
Chen Lingqiu admired this courage.
If only she had this courage, she wouldn't be living like a sandwich.
"But I took the things and money back to my parents' home." Wang Dan's chest heaved with anger, and he looked at Chen Lingqiu aggrievedly.
Her aunt served her very well, and even her two sons had never enjoyed such treatment.
Chen Lingqiu glanced at Wang Dan, "What else? Do you think I will leave a pigsty for you? Go back to your pigsty!"
With a bang, Chen Lingqiu threw the stool in his hand at Wang Dan's feet.
Wang Dan...
…
Before Shen Qinghe went to the black market, she painted her face darker. In order to make it look more realistic, she also painted her exposed neck and hands black.
Wang Guimei walked over and took a long time to recognize Shen Qinghe.
He asked in surprise, "Xiaohua, why are you so dark?"
If she hadn’t recognized the stall, she would have thought Shen Xiaohua was disfigured.
Shen Qinghe smiled innocently, "It's hot, it's sunny, my family is poor, I have to find time to go to work."
Wang Guimei looked at Shen Xiaohua with sympathy. No wonder she hadn't seen her in the past two days.
She looked around, took out a stack of papers from her pocket and handed it to Shen Qinghe.
"This is the size of the clothes made in the yard. I have marked the size of the clothes on it. When can you make it?"
Shen Qinghe didn't expect Wang Guimei to have such strong execution ability. She counted and found a total of three shirts, two pairs of trousers, and two bras.
To prevent mistakes, Shen Qinghe marked the number and price on each design drawing.
Wang Guimei is quite careful and writes a number next to each person's size.
"Three days is ok." Shen Qinghe said after thinking for a while.
Wang Guimei grinned, calculating in her mind how much commission she could get from these clothes.
Shen Qinghe glanced at Wang Guimei and said, "Aunt, when the clothes are ready, you can give me the money, and then I will give you the commission, how about that?"
"Okay." Wang Guimei said, "In fact, I've already asked for the money for the clothes."
Shen Qinghe...
Wang Guimei chuckled, "We have been friends for decades, so we still have some trust. They all consciously gave me the money for the clothes."
As she spoke, Wang Guimei took out a brown crocheted wallet from her pocket. It was a gift from Shen Qinghe.
Wang Guimei counted out sixty-eight pieces and handed them to Shen Qinghe.
I thought to myself, "This money is so easy to make!"
Shen Qinghe took it, counted it and found no problem, then said to Wang Guimei.
"Aunt, I agreed to give you fifty cents for a set of clothes, one dollar for two shirts and two pairs of trousers, and half a shirt for twenty-five cents, and two trousers for one dollar. I will give you two dollars and twenty-five cents in total."
Shen Qinghe counted the money and handed it to Wang Guimei with a smile.
Wang Guimei glanced at Shen Qinghe and took it hesitantly.
He muttered, "You won't even charge me a full amount for half an item." How stingy!
Shen Qinghe pretended not to hear and said with a smile, "Come to me in three days to get the clothes. If anyone else wants to make clothes, just bring them to me as well."
Since the commission was agreed upon in the beginning, she will not change it.
If Wang Guimei is charged three cents for a shirt this time, she will become more demanding in the future.
"Okay, I get it!" Wang Guimei took a look at the things on the stall and was attracted by a sunflower. She picked it up and looked at it curiously.
“Can this thing be made with wool?”
Shen Qinghe took a look and nodded, "Sure, everything can be crocheted with wool."
Wang Guimei likes this sunflower very much. It looks so beautiful in the vase without withering.
Wang Guimei held the sunflower and liked it very much, but she didn't want to pay for it.
She just brought a lot of business to Shen Xiaohua. She earns so much, so what's wrong with giving her a sunflower?
"Aunt, we are both businessmen." Shen Qinghe's smile faded. "If you like the things here, I can give you a 20% discount."
Wang Guimei smiled bitterly and reluctantly gave Shen Qinghe fifty cents to buy the sunflower.
Shen Qinghe stared at Wang Guimei's leaving back and frowned. It seemed that she was not a good partner. She would be replaced when a suitable candidate was found in the future.
By the way, I haven’t seen Zhu Qiaolan for a long time. Did she give up on Jiang Chunlin?
Seeing a customer coming, Shen Qinghe began to introduce the store enthusiastically.
In the afternoon, Shen Qinghe closed her stall and went home to make clothes.
When passing by the Civil Affairs Bureau, I saw Jiang Chunming standing under the scorching sun with a miserable expression.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Shen Qinghe got off the bicycle and asked Jiang Chunming in surprise.
Glancing at the Civil Affairs Bureau behind him, he guessed, "My sister-in-law didn't come?"
"Well, I've been waiting since morning until now, but I haven't seen her." Jiang Chunming said, glancing at Shen Qinghe's bicycle, fearing that someone would see her and misunderstand her, so he gave up the idea of taking her back.
"Qinghe, ride slowly. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
After saying this, Jiang Chunming ran away in the hot sun.
Shen Qinghe guessed that he might have gone to find Wang Dan, but she definitely didn't want to divorce because she didn't come today.
Can this marriage still be divorced?
Looking at the scorching sun above her head, Shen Qinghe went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy three pounds of white flour and a small bag of white sesame seeds, and then walked back.
After arriving home, her clothes were soaked with sweat. She boiled some hot water and took a bath. Then she sat in front of the sewing machine to make clothes and planned to make some cold noodles to eat later.
"Qinghe."
Shen Qinghe recognized Chen Fenxia's voice and came out of the house in surprise.
Chen Fenxia was seen with sweat all over her face and mud on her trouser legs. At her feet was a bamboo cage filled with wild vegetables.
"Third sister-in-law, are you discharged from the hospital?"
"Well, I was discharged from the hospital at noon today, and you were not at home when I came back." Chen Fenxia said, wiping the sweat from her face.
Shen Qinghe was surprised, "Why did you go pick wild vegetables instead of lying down and resting in the house?"
"I'm almost recovered after lying in the hospital for a few days. I feel less empty inside if I do something." Chen Fenxia said with a dejected look on her face.
Jiang Chunlai asked her to rest at home for a few more days and not to go to work. Seeing that there were no vegetables at home, she went to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables.
Seeing that the door of the fourth brother's house was open, she called Shen Qinghe to give her some wild vegetables.
Shen Qinghe called Chen Fenxia into the house and made her a cup of brown sugar water.
"Third sister-in-law, don't think about the past anymore. You, Third Brother, and Yufeng will definitely be filial to you when they grow up. Many people don't want to have more children, just one."
"One?" Chen Fenxia asked in surprise, "How can one be enough? Give birth to a few more so they can help each other when they grow up."
Take the four brothers of the Jiang family for example. They don’t seem to be very close to each other at ordinary times, but when something happens, they will rush forward. This is family affection.
Even if they grow up and separate, the blood relationship cannot be severed.
Shen Qinghe looked at Chen Fenxia, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Family planning is not yet enforced. It will not be established as a basic national policy until September 1982 and will be written into the Constitution by the end of the year.
People of this era take pride in having more children, and one more child means one more labor force.
Raising a child doesn’t cost too much, as long as you keep yourself alive.
"Third sister-in-law, there is a benefit in doing this. Drink the brown sugar water while it's hot, and then go inside and lie down."
Chen Fenxia just thought that Shen Qinghe was comforting her and picked up the cup bitterly.
"Chen Fenxia, it's you who's in poor health, how can you blame me?"
At this moment, Wang Dan ran in angrily, looking at Chen Fenxia as if he wanted to eat her alive.
