Chen Lishu was really frightened. In Mrs. Chen's impression, she was just a little beast who could do anything. If she was really covering herself up, how could she reason with him?
"Mantun, Mantun, get up quickly." Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her voice broke. Chen Mantun and his wife woke up when they heard her cry. They even forgot to put on their shoes and took off their shoes.
Feet run over.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Chen Mandun said as he lit the kerosene lamp on the table.
"I..." Old Mrs. Chen wanted to say that Chen Lishu wanted to kill her, but there was no basis for it. This damn girl could turn her dark mouth into a white one.
"I won't sleep with her. I want your wife to come and serve me."
"Mom, I still have to go to work tomorrow. Isn't Li Shu taking good care of her? Why do we need to replace her?" At this moment, Chen Mandun also felt that Mrs. Chen was a bit troublesome.
"Mistress, my mother is only with you temporarily. She has to go to work tomorrow. You can't tie her to your side for the rest of your life, right?" Chen Lishu persuaded her with a good temper, but she faced Mr. Chen where no one else could see her.
Too blinking.
Yes, that damn girl Chen Lishu is right. You can't tie someone up for life. If she leaves someone else's eyes, she will probably send her away.
The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more frightened she became. She shivered and stood up quickly: "Hurry up and pack your things. I want to go back to your elder brother's place."
"Mom, you..." Chen Mandun and Wu Chunmei saw that she was able to stand up and was still looking for something, and she looked a little sick. How could they not understand that she had been pretending to be sick before?
After reacting, I suddenly felt mixed feelings in my heart.
Silently helping Old Mrs. Chen pack her things, Wu Chunmei cried aggrievedly as she watched Chen Manyun send the person away: "It's because my stomach is not up to par and I can't have a son, so your milk is causing such trouble for the family."
Chen Lishu was helpless: "Mom, this has nothing to do with whether you have a son or not. You and my father are just too accommodating to her, so she feels confident."
Wu Chunmei was still crying, so Chen Lishu simply stopped trying and lay down again, closed her eyes and started to sleep.
Wu Chunmei cried for a while and saw that Chen Lishu was already asleep on the kang, so she wiped away her tears and blew out the lamp back to her room.
Early the next morning, Chen Lishu did not eat at home. Instead, she got up and said hello to Chen Mandun and a few others before going home.
"Why are you back at this time?" Li Xiulan was feeding the pigs. She was shocked to see her come back so early after just one day. She thought it was Mrs. Chen who was gone, right? "I'm cured of my breast disease. She's going back to my uncle."
Now that I'm home, I'll be back." Chen Lishu said and went to take the pig food bucket from Li Xiulan's hand.
Li Xiulan nodded, gave her the bucket, and then went to the kitchen to cook with Zhang Qin.
After breakfast, when Liu Yuemin saw everyone leaving the yard, she deliberately took a step behind Chen Lishu and said: "Third brothers and sisters, I thought about it carefully. I did something wrong in the clothing factory before. I also want to be a mother for the sake of my two children."
I want to make more money, and in order to make up for my previous mistakes, I'm thinking of selling it to you for eight cents, what do you think?"
Liu Yuemin thought that she had just talked about this, and Chen Lishu would definitely agree. Who knew that she would actually say: "Second sister-in-law, I have stopped doing the hairdressing business a long time ago. Why don't you go to the town and ask the supply and marketing cooperative for payment?"
Don’t accept it.”
Liu Yuemin frowned and said: "I went to ask, they are not out of stock, and they don't charge eight cents." Otherwise, she wouldn't be so humble as to beg Chen Lishu.
Chen Lishu smiled meaningfully at her: "If they don't accept it, who will I sell it to for eight cents?"
"If you don't know a friend from the Material Bureau, you can just ask him to help sell it."
"Second sister-in-law, you have arranged the arrangements clearly. As the saying goes, if you don't have any benefits, why should you help me if you don't have any relatives or friends?"
Liu Yuemin hesitated: "What should I do? There are so many flowers in my hands. No matter how cheap it is, I won't make much money."
Back then, Zhang Qin and the others were earning a commission of three cents for the first haircut, but no matter how cheap she was, she couldn't even earn three cents.
Chen Lishu didn't answer, just looked at her with a half-smile.
Liu Yuemin thought for a while and said: "Since the third brother and sister are not willing to help, then forget it."
It was clear from Chen Lishu's attitude that she wanted to take advantage of the situation and sell it to her at a low price, but if she wanted to sell it at a low price, she might as well sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.
Chen Lishu raised her eyebrows when she saw Liu Yuemin leaving, but turned around and went back to the house without saying anything.
In the afternoon, while she was reading a book, the brigade's loudspeaker suddenly rang: "Chen Lishu, Chen Lishu, after hearing the broadcast, please come to the brigade headquarters and have your phone number. Chen Lishu..."
Chen Lishu was wondering, who could have called her at this time?
Confused all the way to the brigade headquarters, the other party happened to call again. Chen Lishu just picked up the phone and called out a somewhat urgent voice on the other end of the phone: "Hello, sister-in-law, this is Wu Zheng, Lao Gu is injured."
Lao Gu was injured.
injured...
Chen Lishu felt like her head was buzzing and she couldn't hear anything Wu Zheng said behind her.
"Hey, hey, sister-in-law, are you listening to me?" Wu Zheng asked several times in confusion after hearing no voice coming from the other end of the phone for a long time.
After a long while, Chen Lishu finally came back to her senses. She tried hard to control her trembling hands, as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in her throat, and said with difficulty: "I'm here. Is Xingdong seriously injured?"
When Wu Zheng heard that her voice was wrong, he wanted to slap himself when he reacted. He must have been in a hurry and didn't speak clearly, so he frightened people.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just suffered a slight injury on my leg. No bones were hurt. The doctor gave me stitches and gave me fluids. He is asleep at the moment."
Although Wu Zheng said this, Chen Lishu could not feel at ease: "I understand, and I want to trouble you to take care of him more. I will go there by car tomorrow. Please tell me your address."
After the initial panic, Chen Lishu quickly organized her thoughts and asked Zhang Changhe for paper and pen to write down the address Wu Zheng said.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lishu returned the pen to Zhang Changhe.
"Daughter, did something happen at Xingdong?" Zhang Changhe asked with concern.
Chen Lishu nodded: "Uncle Changhe, Xingdong is injured and I want to go over there."
Zhang Changhe nodded, and his face became serious unconsciously: "I will give you a certificate right now. Be careful on the road. Soldiers will inevitably have bumps and bruises. You can relax yourself."
"Well, thank you, Uncle Changhe."
By the time Chen Lishu returned home with the issued certificate, she felt much calmer.
Back home, Gu Xingping had just returned from cutting pigweed. He saw her entering the courtyard and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, I heard the loudspeaker asking you to answer the phone. Who called?"
