"Aunt Si, are you at home?"

Someone shouted and came in from outside the small courtyard.

"Hey, I'm at home!" Wan Hong opened the curtain and came out. When he saw it, it was Mrs. Yang across the river.

"Lotte Mom, didn't you go to the department store counter today?" Sister-in-law Yang walked in with a smile.

"I'm not going. Si Chen and his wife are taking care of the house today, and I'll be at home tidying up the house and looking through the vegetable patch."

"It doesn't matter if you don't go, there are a lot of things inside and outside the house that you have to worry about, right?"

Sister-in-law Yang sighed repeatedly and said:

"Oh, this Si Chen is really using you as a brick, moving it wherever needed."

"You are taking care of the family and working in the field, and you also have to take care of his two children."

"When you get busy, I want you to go to the department store and hold the counter for him, tsk tsk tsk!"

"Look, you're so tired!"

The smile on Wan Hong's face froze, and she felt disgusted in her heart:

[Sister-in-law Yang is really a talkative woman. Do you need to gossip about my family’s affairs? 】

However, she still put on a smile and explained patiently:

"When it comes to taking care of the children in this field, at home, Grandma Lotte has to be the most burdened."

"Li Xia didn't even finish the confinement period, so she went out to follow Si Chen to Heijin Town and Xintian City. She is the one who worked hard!"

"Everyone in the family is busy lately and no one has time to spare. I can help as much as I can."

Sister-in-law Yang choked!

But she saw Wan Hong's expression change earlier, and thought that Wan Hong's words were just to comfort herself.

Therefore, Aunt Yang assumed that she had succeeded in making trouble, and she finally felt at ease!

In the past, Wan Hong, like other village women, took care of the family and the fields.

During the recent period, Wan Hong always dressed brightly and ran to the department store, making her sisters-in-law envious!

For the sake of psychological balance, they can try their best to arrange Wan Hong behind their backs.

Today, I came to my house specially to say such harsh words in order to find a psychological balance.

Ever since, Sister-in-law Yang could not help but add jealousy and asked:

"Mom Lotte, then go and stand at the counter. Will Si Chen pay you?"

"Then when others stand at the counter, aren't they all regular employees of the Commerce Bureau?"

"Si Chen and Li Ge are so capable, so they should be arranged for you to enter, right?"

"Oh, it's amazing that you can eat food from the government!"

"How can we get a salary for a family?" Wan Hong was too lazy to give her a smile and thought to herself:

[Lixia gives me money every month, five hundred! I save it all for Lotte!]

[Isn’t eating public food just to make money? I have money, why do I have to eat public food?]

【Whose food is not eating? As long as I have a guarantee!】

However, Wan Hong is a cautious person, and he must not let outsiders know that he has money.

She is a kind-hearted person, but also a timid and cowardly person.

Therefore, it is a habit to hide all your good things and not show off your wealth.

Especially money!

Wan Hong wants to keep her little treasury tight and doesn't want to reveal a single word to Sister-in-law Yang!

So, she reluctantly twitched her lips and asked:

"What do you want to buy?"

"Oh, let me get two kilograms of soy sauce." Mrs. Yang said, lifting the plastic pot in her hand.

Wan Hong brought the person to the soy sauce vat and took the plastic jug from Sister Yang's hand.

In today's canteens, whether soy sauce or vinegar, they are basically sold in bulk in a large clay vat.

Prepare a scooping utensil yourself, and scoop one pound at a time.

Wan Hong mixed the soy sauce for Mrs. Yang, handed it over, and said:

"One dollar."

"Huh? Isn't it usually only 70 cents?"

Wan Hong said with a sullen face: "The prices of everything have increased recently. The purchase price of our soy sauce has also increased. It costs 50 cents per pound."

Sister-in-law Yang choked and her face turned green!

So, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Then you write it down for me first. At the end of the month, I'll ask the father to pay you back."

"Sure!" Wan Hong took out the credit book from the drawer and wrote it down for Sister Yang, her hands shaking a little.

When Sister-in-law Yang saw Wan Hong's head lowered and her hands trembling slightly, she thought proudly that what she just said had stimulated Wan Hong.

Suddenly, she caught sight of a credit account and couldn't help shouting:

"Hey, that's not right. Si Jianjun came to buy soy sauce yesterday. Why did you write down 35.1 pounds?"

"The price didn't go up yesterday. From today on, the price of everything will go up."

When Wan Hong said this, she didn't even raise her head, and her hand holding the pen became tighter.

At this moment, her heart was beating like a drum!

Wan Hong thought that she had never cheated anyone in her life. Today, for the first time, she cheated Sister Yang of thirty cents. She was very panicked!

Sister-in-law Yang's expression changed dramatically, she twisted her waist while carrying the soy sauce pot and bucket, and left angrily.

After going out, Mrs. Yang cursed all the way:

"You, a widow, deserve to suffer and be treated like a cow and a horse!"

After crossing the small bridge, several sisters-in-law on the other side of the river were enjoying the cool air and doing work under the trees. Seeing the gloomy look on her face, they quickly asked enthusiastically:

"Sister-in-law Yang, what's going on? Who made you unhappy?"

"You're not Wan Hong, that bitch! I'm speaking for her, but she's still pretending to be a loving mother and a filial son in front of me, but she's just like mud and can't hold up the wall!"

"What's going on? Please tell me." The radars of a group of sisters-in-law keenly detected the signals of gossip, and they immediately became concerned.

Sister-in-law Yang explained her situation just now, adding more details.

It actually got unanimous approval from a group of sisters-in-law:

"In my opinion, it's impossible for Si Chen to treat Wan Hong as his own mother. He just sees that she is of some use, so he is superficially friendly with her."

"That's right! How can we reconcile just because we have been at odds with each other for so many years?"

"Sichen tricked her into taking care of his doll, and also tricked her into going to the department store to guard the counter. Isn't this a free labor?"

"Isn't that right? If you really want to treat her well, why don't you arrange for her to become a formal employee of the Commercial Bureau?"

A group of old sisters-in-law eating lemon-flavored watermelon attacked Wan Hong's recent success, and they showed no mercy!

Everyone is so happy with themselves:

"We are still at ease. All the money earned by the men in the family is in our hands."

"My father does some small business and can earn 300 yuan a month!"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

"That's it! If you want to buy something, you can decide by yourself. You don't need to look at other people's faces and ask for money."

"There is no need to work hard and do extra work, and you can't make a penny."

"Look, we can chat here and enjoy the coolness on this hot day. Can Wan Hong do it?"

"Won't Wan Hong have to bear all the food, drink, and diarrhea for the whole family?"

Sister-in-law Yang felt more balanced when she saw that a group of people were in the same camp as her.

However, the fact that soy sauce was thirty cents more expensive finally made her unhappy:

"That's disgusting! Why are you saying that starting from today, the prices of items in the canteen will increase? Even this soy sauce will cost me 50 cents per catty. How dare Sichen give her the money he earned?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Sister-in-law Yang thought that everyone recognized her, so she went home cursing with the soy sauce bottle.

Everyone who was enjoying the shade under the tree picked up their stools at lightning speed and returned home in a hurry.

Less than a minute.

The sisters-in-law, carrying jugs of vinegar and soy sauce in their hands, swarmed to Si Chen's house.
