"The commotion is so bad, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. We'd better get this sorted out as soon as possible!"
"Besides, the girl's family is looking for a husband, and Zhenbang from the Qiao family is especially anxious. Don't forget there's still a rural assignment waiting for him!"
Xia Yuzhen curled her lip in disdain when she mentioned Qiao Zhenbang.
Upon hearing this, Su Xia thought of the chubby girl, who was indeed easy to find.
"So Aunt Qiao and her daughter-in-law both agree?"
"What good will it do if they agree? Will they just watch their grandson or son be arrested as hooligans?"
Su Xia.....
Okay, I forgot again that at this time of year, dating or getting married is considered hooliganism.
Xia Yuzhen then added another heavy burden: "Sister Su, you should worry about your family!"
Su Xia looked over in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Xia Yuzhen made a gesture and then said, "Of course it's something!"
They then explained, "Their wedding was rushed, and the family hadn't prepared anything. The most important thing was the wedding banquet!"
Su Xia.....
He sighed inwardly. It seemed that the trouble was caused by that oxcart and the house when he came back from the village.
Seeing that Sister Su understood, Xia Yuzhen whispered, "When I came here just now, I saw that crazy woman Wang Hehua being scolded by Grandma Dou!"
*Pfft...*
Thinking of that scene, she still held back. Although she had been scolded before, she felt better when it happened to someone else.
Su Xia.....
How could she say that and then laugh? Pregnant women are indeed fickle.
"Then you'd better be careful. There are neighbors all around, and you arrived earlier than us. If the Qiao family wants to borrow tickets, they'll come to you first!"
Xia Yuzhen was quite amusing, waving her hand with a laugh, "Don't worry, that old lady is even more stingy than a miser, Wang Hehua is dreaming!"
Su Xia...
Indeed, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most delicate!
At this moment, Aunt Qiao had visited several houses, and finally returned home empty-handed. After drinking some water, she began to grumble and complain.
“Te....
"What kind of neighbor are we? When it really matters, they're quicker than mice!"
Grandma Qiao sighed and lay on the kang (a heated brick bed). She understood her daughter-in-law's complaints; it wasn't that the family didn't have the money, but that she wanted to borrow it.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone is doing well. Besides, it's almost Chinese New Year and everyone needs something."
Aunt Qiao understood, but she was still angry and cursed for a while.
After she finally shut up, Grandma Qiao asked, "How much money and how many tickets do we have left at home?"
Aunt Qiao's eyes darted around when she heard this, but Grandma Qiao couldn't possibly see through it.
"Don't give me any bad advice. You're the one who keeps all the money in the house, but your wife is still so confused!"
Wang Hehua was so intimidated by her mother-in-law's sharp eyes that she dared not look at her.
"Mother, there isn't any left, I was just wondering how much there is?"
"Hmph... It's for the best. Don't forget, Zhenbang is the boss. Even if he's very proud of his granddaughter-in-law, he can't save face."
Wang Hehua's face and nose were still bruised and swollen. She recalled the scene from yesterday and the pain she felt then, and now it came back to her.
Finally, he said, "We only have 623.8 yuan at home. This month's meat coupons are 1.6 jin, grain coupons are 6.3 jin, industrial coupons are 6, cotton is 2 jin, cloth coupons are half a jin, and there are a few other coupons..."
Seeing her mother-in-law's face grow increasingly dark, Aunt Qiao's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.
Grandma Qiao thought about it in her mind, and it was about the same amount. Even if there were some discrepancies, it was still more than 60 yuan, so what problem did it solve?
Then she took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and Wang Hehua's eyes lit up.
Grandma Qiao glared at her, then took out a few tickets from inside.
"Here you go, take these and get them ready quickly. Zhenbang's getting married, we need at least one bedding!"
"And then there are the two eldest sons. They definitely have money. Zhenbang is getting married, and they are his parents. If they don't take the money, who will?"
Wang Hehua took it and immediately checked it. There were 8 industrial coupons, 5 jin of cotton, and 1 cloth coupon. It was actually a 100-pound coupon.
There were even two jin of meat coupons left. Hearing the money in his daughter-in-law's hand, he nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Mother, when they come back tonight, let them prepare it themselves!"
Grandma Qiao nodded. Yesterday was noisy and chaotic, and now all she wants to do is lie down.
Wang Hehua clenched her hands tightly, and angrily stuffed them into her pockets.
But seeing his daughter-in-law making money all the time, his eyes darting around, he got his old problem again.
"Go buy it, and check it later!"
Aunt Qiao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away guiltily, though her heart was bleeding with pain.
But she still said formally, "Mother, this is not enough, especially the meat ration coupons. Including yours, it only comes to four catties. Besides, Zhenbang's wedding is over. What are we going to eat for the New Year?"
After saying that, she was worried. In this big family, only her son and daughter-in-law had jobs. The three of them together earned a total of 100 yuan a month. It seemed like a lot, but how many mouths were there to feed in the family?
Three grandsons, one graduated, two still in school, plus their future marriages—just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Grandma Qiao pondered, trying to figure out where to exchange for some tickets. Most importantly, she wanted a quilt; a newlywed couple couldn't be without one.
And the rooms, the furniture...
There's also the betrothal gift, the three main items. Even if you prepare everything, how can you possibly miss one?
Why.....
Seeing her mother-in-law's serious expression, Wang Hehua cautiously said, "Mom, look, the neighbors have meat. Shall we ask for some...?"
Looking expectantly at her mother-in-law, she knew that she had had a pleasant argument with Su Xia's family last time, and could only rely on her mother-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Qiao did not immediately refuse, but she wanted her daughter-in-law to be satisfied.
She snapped, "Get out! If it were you, why would you be so stubborn?"
Wang Hehua was yelled at and hurriedly ran out.
Only after spotting her mother-in-law did she dare mutter, "She's complaining again. Who's that Chen guy? Go home!"
I happened to overhear the three Qiao brothers...
The three brothers exchanged glances. "Brother, why does Grandma always remember the punishments and the food?" the third brother muttered blankly.
Qiao Zhenbang didn't speak. He was covered in dust because he was cleaning the room with his two younger brothers because of his upcoming wedding.
The second brother, Zhenliang, sneered inwardly, but said aloud, "Let's get to work!"
After saying that, he left immediately. As for his elder brother getting married, it was only a matter of time.
But when my sister-in-law came in, the already large courtyard felt even more crowded.
After Su Xia saw Xia Yuzhen off, she didn't see the Qiao family come, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
I think it might just be out of politeness.
But how could the Qiao family let go of such a convenient opportunity? Aunt Qiao might not dare to come to their door, but her daughter-in-law did.
Su Xia looked her over. Although she was polite, she really didn't show any politeness towards a stranger she had never met before.
Niu Niu took a look and led her two younger brothers back to their room.
Qiao's daughter-in-law looked embarrassed and rubbed her fingers together.
Su Xia had no choice but to lead 그 into the living room.
She wanted to pour water, but she still felt bad about her cup.
"Comrade, may I ask who you are...?"
The unique decor of the living room startled Qiao's daughter-in-law, who woke up with a start.
She quickly closed her open mouth and then said shyly, "Comrade Su, I'm your neighbor. My husband is older than your husband, so you can just call me your sister-in-law."
Su Xia....
His lips twitched. He already had two sisters-in-law on his mother's side, and he had nothing better to do than to recognize another sister-in-law. Was he just bored?
"Comrade 뇽 is so much more convenient!"
Qiao's daughter-in-law was stunned, and even more embarrassed, she really hadn't expected that he wouldn't give her any face at all...
Su Xia rolled her eyes inwardly. "How much is face worth?"
