Chapter 1235: Chapter 1108: I’m Telling You to Be Careful

After finishing the last trip, Miao Lishan looked back at the car with some reluctance, "We’ve bought almost everything this time, let’s come again next month."

These words made Zhou Jiao, following behind her, roll her eyes in exasperation.

Just now, from the Friendship Store to the car, in such a short distance, whether it was the clerks or the customers inside.

Everyone who saw them, looking at what they bought and the packaging with the Friendship Store logo, was so envious that their eyes almost turned red.

Come again?

She definitely wasn’t going to join the fun.

"Money really withstands spending, I still have plenty of tickets barely touched. Do you think I should buy more milk powder? Your aunt’s two little grandsons happen to need it..."

Zhou Jiao decisively pushed her onto the car, "Let’s go first. Mom, with your shopping method, no amount of tickets is enough, I think I’ll have to find more tickets for you."

"That’s fine, more is not a problem. Not just for relatives and friends, even our family needs it. Right, school is starting soon, our kids should be back, right?"

"They’re supposed to come back the next couple of days."

Miao Lishan collapsed into the back seat as soon as she got into the car, "I’m so exhausted. Didn’t feel it before, now my legs are so sore, more tiring than going to the grassroots."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao put down her handbag and bent over to help rub her legs. Good that she knows exhaustion, does she really think she’s still a young person?

"Last week they also said in a few days, but still haven’t come home? When we get back, I have to make a phone call to ask, what exactly does this mean?

They’ve been out for so long, I wonder how much weight they’ve lost? Not a word about where they are, making me want to visit them but can’t."

"Xiao Wu, do you know the exact time? I asked your dad, and he keeps saying the kids are fine or tells me not to worry, I bet he hasn’t communicated with those below."

Zhang Guoqing chuckled twice, "Mom, don’t worry, maybe when we get back we’ll see those three little rascals."

"Let’s hope so!" Miao Lishan pushed her daughter’s hand, "No need, you’re not as strong as me, sit tight, careful not to bump."

Zhang Guoqing glanced in the rearview mirror, saw Zhou Jiao settled in, and started the car, "Mom, want to stop by at auntie’s place?"

"Forget it, we’re exhausted, let’s go back and rest early. Maybe Ping’an and the others have come back, would be really disappointing if they didn’t see us."

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing’s face showed a knowing smile. No wonder people say cross-generational bonds are strong, perhaps the latter sentence is more important.

But thinking about those three little rascals who forgot to return home while wandering outside, he couldn’t muster a smile anymore. If guessed correctly, mother-in-law might be disappointed for another two days.

Zhang Guoqing’s eyes flickered, at the crossroads, he still changed direction...

Miao Lishan handed a stack of remittance slips to Cheng Ruzhu.

Cheng Ruzhu was so startled she almost stumbled, "Where on earth did you get so much valuable stuff? Should keep it for yourselves."

"Valuable?"

Miao Lishan tilted her head and examined her for a moment: "Don’t tell me you can’t get it."

Cheng Ruzhu gave her a bitter smile, glancing at her sideways, "At most, I can ask old sisters for a few, who would have thought you have so many? Haven’t you been to the Friendship Store for years, forgotten things inside are not just low-priced, many foreign goods are unavailable on the market, do you call it valuable or not?"

"I just came back from there. Not talking to you anymore, Xiao Wu and Jiao Jiao are waiting for me at the alley entrance."

Cheng Ruzhu quickly pulled her, "Don’t need so much."

Miao Lishan pushed her hand away, "Come on, do we need so much politeness between us? These are given by Jiao Jiao’s master, I have more."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"Then still don’t need so much."

"Yu is still a child, just let it be, I wasn’t polite with you, if I were, I’d have bought milk powder to send over."

Cheng Ruzhu chuckled, they know each other’s temperament over the years, seeing this, she stopped the back-and-forth, and wrapped her arm around her going outside.

"If you hadn’t come today, I was about to call you. Do you remember Chen Shufen, who always liked to gossip behind people’s backs?"

"Which one?"

Cheng Ruzhu hit her impatiently, annoyed with herself for asking around, "The one saying you only have one daughter, Chen Shufen, wife of Wang Chu’s family."

Miao Lishan nodded quickly, seemingly understanding, "Oh, that one’s her."

Cheng Ruzhu cast a somewhat skeptical glance before continuing, "She had three daughters before finally having a son, she previously sent her youngest daughter to the countryside for the sake of her son, as it turns out this youngest daughter was promising and got into college."

Miao Lishan blinked in confusion, what’s so special about that?

"You don’t know, since the New Year, the connections she has asked to find matches for her daughter." Cheng Ruzhu said, laughing softly, "She actually found one, originally wanted to get engaged first and marry after graduation."

"That’s normal. As long as her daughter is okay, she’ll find someone."

"Don’t interrupt, let me finish, there’s much more inside."

Miao Lishan nodded upon hearing this.

"Guess what? Last week a mother and son from the countryside came with a toddler, and only then did everyone find out.

Turns out her girl had married and had kids in the countryside long ago, married for five or six years. Can you say Chen Shufen is despicable? And she said her daughter was an unmarried young woman.

Her daughter followed her lead. Reportedly, when she went countryside, she fancied the man, and chased him avidly. The man had a childhood sweetheart, an arranged same-village fiancée, who she broke up.

This mother-son duo had backbone, they immediately demanded a divorce, but wanted the 150-yuan bride price back. Her family’s skin was thick, denying the money, until the man produced a response letter."

Cheng Ruzhu finished talking, stopping Miao Lishan from opening her mouth, "There’s more. If it were only like this, I wouldn’t bother saying. After finalizing divorce, Chen Shufen cursed a lot, even street committee couldn’t bear it. A dramatic turn ensued, can you guess?"

Miao Lishan shook her head in confusion.

Cheng Ruzhu made a satisfied snort, "She belittled them as bumpkins, never expecting they’d despise her family, merely a small official, deserved poetic justice."

"The man also passed the entrance exam for Beijing college this year, originally thought if his wife was loyal, with kids already, they could carry on together.

After paperwork finished, a sedan came to pick them up, stunned the whole crowd. Now Chen Shufen’s family’s reputation is rotten, and her husband seems to be in trouble."

Miao Lishan nonchalantly oh-ed.

Cheng Ruzhu urgently hit her arm, "Did you understand what I said?"

"Understood, isn’t it about good gets good, bad gets bad."

"Oh dear, I said so much for you to stay wary, if Chen Shufen comes seeking help, don’t bother with her, she deserves it."

Miao Lishan blinked. Could she say she hardly remembers the person? But uttering this likely would irritate her sister-in-law.

In the end, she nodded her head after all.
