Chapter 1433: Honest Woman 16
Aunt Zhang took the time to look at her and said, "Yuanchun, you are pregnant and you only eat this? Why didn't you bring an egg? Pregnant women need to supplement nutrition, otherwise the baby won't grow strong."
Yuanchun lowered her head and said sullenly, "I cooked eggs this morning, but my mother-in-law wouldn't let me take them. She said that Dabao and my father-in-law are the backbone of the family, and that all the delicious food in the house should be given to them first. We women shouldn't be greedy. My mother-in-law gave the eggs I cooked to Dabao."
"Although, I don't understand how my father-in-law, who is just eating idle meals at home, can be the mainstay. Dabao and I both get the same salary, so why is he the mainstay while I am a daughter-in-law who is not even entitled to sit at the table to eat."
Yuanchun's eyes turned red with grievance as she nibbled the steamed bun bit by bit.
But in fact, this steamed bun was the stock in her space. The main ingredient was not cornmeal, but white flour. She added fruit juice to make it the same color as cornmeal.
Moreover, it is mixed with white flour, chopped cabbage, minced meat, eggs, and ham, and tastes fragrant and soft.
However, the taste was blocked by Yuanchun's mental power, so Aunt Zhang could not smell it. Yuanchun even made a face as if the food was disgusting, but Aunt Zhang did not notice or suspect anything.
Aunt Zhang said sympathetically, "I have some eggs here, I'll give you one."
"No, Aunt Zhang, I can't take advantage of you. You have always had bad back and legs, but you still stick to your job. You need nutrition more than I do."
Although Aunt Zhang is a nice person and kind-hearted, she has a bad mouth and is a bit of a nitpicker. If she eats the egg, within a day everyone in the factory will know that she took advantage of Aunt Zhang's egg.
In this day and age, if you take advantage of others or eat their eggs for free, people will talk about you behind your back. She didn't want to ruin the original owner's reputation because of an egg.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang didn't force it, but she was reluctant to do so.
This egg is a good thing, but she only brought one.
Yuanchun ate three steamed buns in one breath, and drank a teapot of chicken soup under the cover of a large teapot. After eating and drinking, she touched her stomach and felt very satisfied.
Yuanchun got off work at four o'clock in the afternoon.
She did not go home. Instead, she entered a space in an empty alley, made herself up as a middle-aged woman, and then went to the poorest slum area in the county to inquire about houses.
She wants to get a divorce, so first of all she needs to prepare a house to live in. This poor area will be demolished in a few years, and the people living here will become the first batch of people to be demolished in the county.
Yuanchun wants to be a landlady in this life.
The original owner worked hard for her husband's family all her life, doing hard work all her life and working herself to death. Now she is here, and she wants to make the original owner's body a landlady, the kind that can make money just by lying down.
Yuanchun walked around here for a long time and found three families who wanted to sell their houses. Because the houses in this area are half brick and half adobe, they are not expensive.
Three main rooms and a large yard only cost three hundred and sixty yuan.
Three houses cost more than a thousand yuan.
It was cheaper than Yuanchun had expected.
At this price, each house is only 30 or 40 yuan more expensive than in the countryside. Yuanchun wanted to buy all three houses, but she didn't have that much money. She paid a deposit of 10 yuan to each house, agreed on the time for payment and transfer of ownership with the people, and then left the slum area.
She carried a bag and went to a nearby electronics factory.
It was now time to get off work, so she took out a rope and tied it between two trees next to the factory gate. Then she took a clothes hanger from her bag and hung up the clothes one by one.
"Selling clothes, selling clothes, all the clothes are from Hong Kong, beautiful and fashionable, if you want to buy clothes, come and have a look, they are all high-end goods from Hong Kong."
Yuanchun shouted at the top of her lungs.
Her shouting really attracted quite a few people.
The clothes Yuanchun took out were the ones she had bought in bulk from Hong Kong in her previous small world. They were the most fashionable and eye-catching styles of the era, and were rarely seen even in county department stores.
There are many female workers in the electronics factory. They thought the clothes hanging on the ropes were extraordinary. Some of the materials were things they had never seen before. And the jeans were something they had heard of but had never seen before.
So, Yuanchun sold like crazy.
I took out a hundred pieces of clothing and they were sold out in less than half an hour.
Some female workers who didn't buy any clothes asked Yuanchun with great regret, "Are you coming tomorrow? Can I reserve a few pieces in advance?"
"Come on, come on, I'll bring 200 pieces tomorrow. No need to pre-order. You'll definitely be able to buy them if you come out early."
Yuanchun smiled as she put away all the clothes hangers, untied the ropes and put them away.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Zhou's mother had a dark face and glared at her as she entered the door. "Didn't you get off work at four o'clock? Where did you go to have fun just now? As a daughter-in-law, you should be filial to your parents-in-law in this way. We still..."
"Mom, Yuanchun must have gone back to her parents' home for something, so don't tell me."
If he continues talking, he will be beaten again.
He went to work today with a face full of bruises and swelling, and was laughed at a lot.
Zhou Dabao turned around and smiled flatteringly, "Wife, you must have gone back to your mother-in-law's house. Are your parents-in-law okay? You also bought some vegetables. Wife, let me get them."
Yuanchun was holding a wilted cabbage and a few potatoes in her hands.
She bought this on the way here and it only cost her eight cents.
The vegetables in her space have all been watered with spiritual spring water, which is spiritual. Eating them for a long time can prolong life and prevent diseases. She is reluctant to take them out and let this family of ungrateful people get them.
Yuanchun handed him the basket and said, "Make some stir-fried cabbage tonight and add some chili peppers. I want something spicy."
"Okay, I'll ask mom to add more chili."
"Ah."
Yuanchun walked into the room without even looking at Zhou's mother. Zhou's mother was so angry that she trembled all over, but she didn't dare to step forward to grab her. She had to go and cook reluctantly under her son's pleading.
"Mom, don't forget to fry two eggs. Yuanchun can't miss it every night."
Mother Zhou was so angry that she cursed in the kitchen, "She wants eggs every day, she wants eggs every day, why don't you make her eat so much that she craved it to death? She really thinks she is the queen and wants me, her mother-in-law, to serve her. Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Rumble…
Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder in the sky.
Mother Zhou was startled, then her face was filled with surprise, "Could it be that Master Lei heard what I said and really wanted to send thunder to kill that unfilial little bitch?"
Rumble…
Rumble…
The lightning flashed a few times on the roof and then disappeared without striking down.
Mother Zhou looked disappointed.
While frying eggs, she got so angry that she spat into the pan a few times.
During the meal, Yuanchun didn't touch the eggs. She ate up the plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage. After she was full, she smiled and put the plate of eggs into the bowls of the three Zhou family members. She said, "Mom and Dad have done housework all day so that Dabao and I can go to work without worries. Mom and Dad have worked hard. This plate of eggs is my filial piety to Mom and Dad. Thank you for helping Dabao and me take care of this family. Dabao, you should have one too. You have worked hard at work."
