She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 711 Became the Talk of the Village
Chapter 711: Chapter 711 Became the Talk of the Village
Eldest Aunt-in-law Zhao previously had some complaints, but now she has none.
Her children have grown so much and have never worn such new cotton-padded jackets, and the color is so nice. They must have cost a pretty penny, right?
And all this food, to keep for the New Year’s feast, and to be able to share some when bringing it back to her mother’s house, certainly saves face.
"It’s getting late, take the kids to sleep."
"Okay."
The next day.
Little Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Zhao once again became the talk of the village.
It wasn’t until their trip to the Capital City for a month, and upon their return, that they seemed to have become younger.
Da Shu’s mother didn’t need anyone to tell her; as soon as she rushed the two youngest off to school early in the morning, she came over.
Her man had gone on a trip and had not come back yet.
"Mother, you’re at home alone, where’s dad?"
Mrs. Zhao wasn’t at all surprised by the arrival of Laoer’s Wife.
They had just returned home yesterday, lugging bags big and small, so it was bound to have reached quite a few ears.
"He’s gone to the brigade, where’s Laoer?"
"Brother Xiao Hai is away on a trip."
Mrs. Zhao slightly furrowed her brows. "For how many days?"
Laosan’s Wife was too carefree, her man hadn’t been back for days, and she didn’t seem to be worried.
Doesn’t she fear that with money in hand, Laoer might spend it frivolously and find a young girl outside?
"Two days now."
Mrs. Zhao gave her a once-over, "Now that Laoer is earning money, you should also spruce yourself up a bit. Look at your hands, they are even rougher than mine."
Da Shu’s mother compared her mother-in-law’s hands to her own stained fingers, blue with grass juice from weeding wheat seedlings and drying the grass to feed the rabbits.
"Not to overstep as a mother-in-law, but you need to take care of yourself. If Laoer keeps running around outside every day, and one day he has a change of heart, don’t blame me for not warning you."
How did mother-in-law become so much younger after just one trip to the Capital City?
"Really?"
"Why not? There’s a family down Laosan’s alley that, once he started making money from his own shop, divorced his wife. She had been married to him for more than a decade, bore him several children, and still, the divorce happened just like that, and soon after he married a young wife barely in her twenties."
Da Shu’s mother was stunned, taking a long while to snap back to reality.
"Look at your hair, then at your face, and these hands, only your figure is somewhat decent." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Women who work the fields don’t tend to get overweight.
"Mother, what should I do if Brother Xiao Hai doesn’t want me anymore?"
Da Shu’s mother panicked all of a sudden. Nowadays, men who can make money outside, even though not as factory workers, can still earn a decent amount monthly. She never took Xiao Hai’s money; whatever Xiao Hai gave her, she saved properly, used it to buy food, sharing it with her two sons.
"Wearing gloves while working can protect your hands. Laosan’s Wife gave me a few tubes of hand cream and some gloves. I’ll give you one, apply it daily."
"Okay."
Da Shu’s mother had never used hand cream before, it was Mrs. Zhao who taught her to use it.
She really feared her hands being rough and unsightly.
Mrs. Zhao also stuffed some food into her hands and sent her off.
"Not worried in the slightest."
Of course, Mrs. Zhao hoped for none of her three sons to divorce.
Da Shu’s mother had her shortcomings, her mouth could be relentless when she had the upper hand, but she was pretty good to her husband and children. That’s why Mrs. Zhao had to voice her concern.
Fearing that, seeing too much of the outside world’s temptations, Laoer might find fault with Da Shu’s mother, and in the end, the pitiable ones would be her two grandsons.
It wasn’t long before many people began showing up one after another.
"Shitou’s mother, is winter in the Capital City very different?"
