The Reborn Wicked Mother-in-law: The Officer Son Returns Home, Stunned

Chapter 88

"Mom, take this money."

Qin Nian took out a stack of money, about a thousand in total.

"What about you then?"

Yang Yufen looked at the money on the table.

"Mom, I have subsidies. I don't have to spend money on accommodation and meals during my trips. Maybe I can even save some money by the time I come back."

Qin Nian said.

"Don't just focus on saving money. You can't save much that way. Take good care of your health first. Health is the capital of revolution."

Yang Yufen didn't push the money back.

"Okay, Mom, I know."

Qin Nian nodded obediently.

"All right, go and wash up first."

After Yang Yufen sent Qin Nian away, her gaze fell on Shen Xianjun.

"What about you?"

"I... I don't have any money. Mom, you can just collect my allowance later."

Shen Xianjun said. All his money had been paid to the hospital, and it wouldn't be settled until he was discharged.

"Then go and get an advance of six - month's allowance. I know it's possible. You still have one more day tomorrow. Get it back to me earlier. I need it."

"Mom, I'm only going for half a year! And didn't Niannian just give you so much money?"

Shen Xianjun glanced at the money in Yang Yufen's hand.

"That's what your wife gave me, not you. Can you get the advance or not?"

Yang Yufen put the money behind her back.

"Yes, Mom. Don't you think you're being too partial?"

"Partial? Do you want me to be like your grandma so that you'll be happy?"

Yang Yufen said crossly.

Shen Xianjun shook his head without hesitation. If that were the case, he would have let his mom come over directly at the beginning instead of making excuses to keep her away.

"Take good care of the kids."

After getting the answer, Yang Yufen didn't stay any longer.

Early the next morning, Shen Xianjun and his wife sent the kids to the nursery. Yang Yufen went to the entrance of the Third People's Hospital to meet Gui Xiang.

"Yufen, you're here. Come on, have a bun."

Gui Xiang quickly stuffed a bun into Yang Yufen's hand and then continued to pack buns and pour millet porridge for others.

Seeing Gui Xiang's proficiency and the large number of customers, Yang Yufen felt relieved.

Soon, Gui Xiang packed up her things.

"The business is better than expected. I can sell all three hundred buns a day now."

"That's good. I'm here to give you the meat tickets. I exchanged them in the family compound."

Yang Yufen took out the meat tickets and gave them to Gui Xiang.

"Yufen, I called home yesterday. The family has divided up. The eldest son is supposed to give sixty yuan a year as alimony. Together with my old man, that's one hundred and twenty yuan a year. We'll let them farm our land and they'll share the grain with us. In a few days, the eldest son will send Qingmei here."

As for the family's money, luckily the eldest son knew better than to mention it. Otherwise, she would have gone back in a rage.

"Let the younger generation take care of their own lives. Don't think too much about it."

Yang Yufen comforted her.

"Where are you going?"

Gui Xiang didn't want to talk more about her family.

"I'm going to the department store. Xianjun has to go back to the army early."

"I see. Then go quickly. I'm going to deliver meals to my old man and the others."

The two parted ways.

At the department store.

"Little Li."

"Auntie Yang!"

Little Li, who had been bored and idle, got excited when he heard the voice.

"Little Li, help auntie find some small and easy - to - carry gold items that are not easy to be noticed."

"Auntie, are you buying gold again? How much this time?"

"Buy, and also exchange."

Yang Yufen took off the gold bracelet on her wrist.

"This bracelet has good craftsmanship. Why do you want to exchange it?"

Little Li was puzzled.

"It's too eye - catching. Help me exchange it all for small - sized ones."

"Well, there are gold bars, gold beans, or these. Auntie, take a look."

"How are the prices calculated for these?"

Yang Yufen looked at them.

"These are simple. There's no craftsmanship fee, only the weight matters. For these, because they're nicely made, the craftsmanship fee is a little higher. You can choose the style you like."

Yang Yufen looked around and finally chose two small gold bars. The rest was exchanged for gold beans. This way, they could be sewn into clothes and not easily noticed. Practicality was more important than good looks.

The thirty - gram bracelet, with some additional money, was exchanged for two twenty - gram gold bars and fifteen one - gram gold beads.

After all these purchases, the money was almost spent, but Yang Yufen didn't feel bad. She put on a copper bracelet wrapped with a red string again.

"Auntie, come and see me when you're free!"

"Sure, sure, sure."

Yang Yufen replied repeatedly.

With the remaining money, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food.

Shen Xianjun successfully got an advance of his allowance and then went to the military hospital for a check - up. After the check - up, he went to visit his uncle.

"Xianjun is here. We were just talking about you with your mom."

"Auntie, let me help you."

Shen Xianjun helped to wipe Ershun's body.

"Uncle, auntie, I'm going back to the army tomorrow. I won't be able to come and pick you and my second brother up for the transfer in person, but I've asked someone to help. Don't worry."

"Okay, okay, okay. Take good care of yourself too."

When Shen Xianjun got home, Yang Yufen had also returned and was killing chickens.

"Mom, killing two chickens at a time might be too much. It's hot. We might not be able to finish them."

Shen Xianjun looked at the dead chickens in the basin.

"Send one to your in - laws' house."

Yang Yufen poured hot water into the basin. Shen Xianjun obediently handed the money to Yang Yufen and then squatted down to pluck the feathers.

"All right, go and rest. Come and deliver it after I've finished cleaning it up."

Yang Yufen put away the money and shooed him away.

Shen Xianjun was shocked. Had his mom changed her personality?

Shen Xianjun thought for a while and tentatively moved his feet. He found that his mom didn't even look up at him. He kept looking back until he entered the house.

When he saw the food on the table, he suddenly understood. He must have benefited from his wife.

If he had known that getting married would make his mom treat him better, he... well, forget it. He wouldn't have gotten married earlier anyway.

Shen Xianjun went into the room to pack his things. He didn't have many things, mainly a pile of books and his notes.

When he finished packing, Yang Yufen called him.

"After delivering it, pick up the kids on the way back."

Yang Yufen stuffed a basket into Shen Xianjun's hand. The chicken was placed at the bottom, and there was a bunch of green vegetables on top.

Yang Yufen put the chicken in the pot to stew and then started counting the money. This money was enough for daily expenses and emergencies.

When Qin Nian got off work, she didn't expect to be stopped.

"Comrade Qin, what my mom did before was wrong. She shouldn't have involved you. I'm here to apologize on behalf of my mom. I hope you can forgive us."

Wang Aimin stopped Qin Nian.

After witnessing Yang Yufen's toughness, he really didn't dare to go to her house.

"You don't need to apologize to me, and I won't forgive you for anything. The matter has already been clarified. If you want to apologize, you should apologize to your wife."

Qin Nian didn't want to talk to the person in front of her. She tried to bypass him and leave.

"Comrade Qin, why are you being so unforgiving? We work together. It's just a small thing. There's no need to hold a grudge. Besides, it was your mother - in - law who was eavesdropping. My mom is just a rural old woman with stubborn rural ideas. I'll talk to her."
