"You bitch!" Widow Liu paused for a moment, jumped up and slapped Zhang Chunhua directly.
The two of them now looked at each other like a black-eyed chicken, and they started fighting again...
After the TV in their own home was installed, Chen Lishu and her husband went back to Chen's house carrying another TV.
"Brother-in-law!" When the kids saw Gu Xingdong coming in, they all called him obediently.
The seventh child, Chen Lizi, saw the box in his hand, blinked and asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?"
Gu Xingdong said with a smile: "Your eldest sister said that you are usually obedient and sensible, so I rewarded you with a TV set."
"TV?" Chen Lifei and Chen Liwan were doing laundry. When they heard that they had bought a TV, they immediately stopped what they were doing and came over curiously.
Wu Chunmei: "Isn't this cheap? I heard it costs four to five hundred."
Chen Lishu smiled: "Mom, as long as you are willing to spend the electricity bill, I will buy a washing machine for my family next year."
"You can't do it." Wu Chunmei waved her hands repeatedly: "If I knew about this TV, I wouldn't let you spend such a waste of money. Don't buy a washing machine. It's better to do it yourself."
"Mom, please stop me. I think you just can't bear the money."
Chen Lifei unceremoniously exposed her: "I am now getting a salary from my eldest sister. I will buy a washing machine by myself next year so that I don't have to boil water in the winter. Washing such thick clothes will tire both my and the fourth child's waists."
It’s broken.”
Chen Mandun said with a smile: "Okay, you all have a future, Li Fei will keep the money for himself, and dad will pay for the washing machine."
Wu Chunmei couldn't help but give him a look: "You are the only one who knows how to spoil children, as if I were a stepmother."
Chen Lifei helped: "If my father doesn't spoil us, who will he?"
Both the couple couldn't help laughing.
Old Mrs. Chen was lying on the kang, listening to the cheerful voices of the people in the next room, staring at the ceiling with her eyes.
Her eldest grandson is only a few days old, and these people are still talking and laughing. This is definitely not going to stop her from angering her to death!
They are all beasts!
"Haha!" Mrs. Chen's throat was like an old bellows. She kept breathing heavily but could not pronounce a clear syllable.
He kept pushing his body towards the edge of the kang, but after trying hard for a long time, he only moved a little distance.
Her eldest grandson is gone. This is all the fault of the second family. They had money to buy a TV and wanted to buy a washing machine, but they just didn't want to help her eldest grandson. If they had lent the money to Baozhu at that time, he would have
Won't die.
She can't let this family have an easy time. She will go to great lengths to make them miserable, and she will never let them have an easy time!
Thinking like this, Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and finally reached the edge of the kang, then with a strong force, she turned over and fell off the kang.
Originally, Mrs. Chen thought that as long as she made some noise, she would be able to call Chen Mantun and his wife over, but she didn't expect that the floor in the house was mud and there was another wall, so the room next door couldn't hear it at all.
A little movement.
"Dad, I think there is a good tree trunk on the other side of the courtyard wall. Let's use that as an antenna later." Gu Xingdong suggested.
Families who can live in rural areas basically have the habit of saving wood. After it is dried, it can not only be used to chop firewood for fire, but also to build sheds and warehouses.
Chen Mantun is a good at growing crops, and he lives a careful life. Sometimes there are materials left over from felling wood on the mountain, and he will bring them back. As time goes by, a pile of three or four items are neatly placed under the wall of the courtyard at home.
meters long wood.
"I'll go with you." Chen Mandun said and went out with Gu Xingdong.
Wu Chunmei: "I'm going to buy groceries right now, and I'll ask Concubine Li to go with you to bring the two children over. You can all eat at home in the evening."
"When we came here, we didn't tell my mother-in-law that we wouldn't go back to eat. She must have brought us food. Why don't we wait until tomorrow? I'll bring them over early in the morning."
As soon as Chen Lishu finished speaking, she heard Chen Lijuan's cry: "Mom, come quickly, the milk has fallen to the ground!"
"Why did it fall on the ground?" Wu Chunmei stood up in a hurry, and Chen Lishu also went over with her.
When the two of them passed by, they saw Old Mrs. Chen lying motionless on the ground, her facial expression even more distorted.
When Wu Chunmei saw that things were not going well, she hurriedly said to the frightened Chen Lijuan: "Lijuan, go and call your dad!"
By the time Chen Mandun loaded up the carriage and prepared to take people to the hospital, Mrs. Chen had already completely passed away.
Chen Baozhu was only a few days old, and Mrs. Chen also went there. Chen Mancang and Zhang Chunhua had no intention of preparing for her funeral, so they just came to the scene to take a look. The rest of the affairs were all taken care of by Chen Mancang and his wife.
.
"After being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for 20 to 30 years, she suddenly disappeared. To be honest, I felt completely relieved."
Ever since she married into the Chen family, she had been extremely obedient to her mother-in-law. Because she could not give birth to a son, she had been tortured for more than ten years. There was not much sadness on Wu Chunmei's face, just a little bit of sadness.
Chen Manyun raised his head and said softly: "It's all over."
…
Lin Dazhong's wound healed well. He stayed in the hospital for a total of ten days, and then he was informed that he could go home and recover slowly.
Liu Xiaobao's sentence was also handed down, and he was sentenced to five years in prison. Widow Liu was confused at the time, but she had always been generous, so she was not sad for two days, and then she thought of her eldest son Liu Dabao.
She is almost fifty, and she always has to consider the issue of old-age care in the future. Although she does not like to see Yue Hongmei, she is pregnant with the child of the old Liu family. She has gone there twice to bring the couple back, but unfortunately Yue Hongmei doesn't want to see her at all.
Talk to her.
It was so comfortable to be the master of the family, so why join together? Widow Liu had no choice. The land had been sold by Wang Qiao'e and his wife for several years. She had no money and no son to live with her. It didn't take long for her to return to her old business.
It's a pity that he is not good-looking and he is old, so he can only barely maintain food and clothing.
Chen Lishu went to two stores before the holidays two years ago. In addition to checking the situation in the stores, she also went through all the accounts to make sure there were no problems, and then called Zhang Li to her side.
"You have worked hard this year and done a good job."
After being praised, Zhang Li smiled unconsciously on her face.
"We can't put away the ready-made clothes, but after all, our energy is limited if we keep running back and forth. I plan to leave the village area to my sister-in-law, so that you can free up more energy."
Then Chen Lishu briefly explained the work arrangements for next year.
"...The yard is ready. I will buy a few more sewing machines after I tell Nan Haitao. I will recruit workers to work in the future and are not allowed to take them home to work. This will avoid many problems and the efficiency will be much higher."
Zhang Li wrote down everything carefully.
Thinking of something, he raised his head and said, "By the way, Sister Chen, you don't know yet, but Sister Sun retired some time ago."
The Sister Sun that Zhang Li mentioned was Sun Min, her former neighbor in the small courtyard where she rented. She and her husband Wang Chenglin were both garment factory workers.
