Chapter 257 The Captain's Wife Wants to Take Advantage

Li Changlin was calm and composed, not caring about anything. His second daughter-in-law was so angry that she complained to his mother a hundred and eighty times.

The wardrobe in Ji Qinglan's room was brand new and made of very good materials. It was worth the twenty dollars, not to mention a dressing table with a mirror. Those families who were marrying a new daughter-in-law would not afford such an expense.

She had already prepared two hundred yuan, but her mother-in-law was seeking death. She had to find the man back as soon as possible. If she was slower, Ji Qinglan's house would be emptied out.

In the end, Liu Yumei didn't spend the twenty yuan. The captain's wife hurried over to stop her, but Ji Qinglan's price of one hundred and ninety yuan was not acceptable.

When the team leader's wife came over, the head of another family in the village came to look at the house. His family also had a large population and strong labor force. They earned a lot of work points every year and had a good financial situation.

The two sides started bidding, and in the end the captain's wife won the bid with a slightly higher price of two hundred yuan.

The captain's wife was heartbroken. The family that didn't buy the house was also unhappy; Liu Yumei was also unhappy because she didn't buy the cabinet she liked; Luo Xiufang was also unhappy because she didn't buy the iron pot she liked.

Ji Qinglan was in a good mood.

Ji Qinglan took the money and sold the house. He took the captain's wife around the house and pointed out to her which things should be left behind.

Guaranteed to give her great value for money.

I have packed up everything that could be packed these days, and what's left are only the food and daily necessities for these few days. When I leave, I will just collect these things and hand over the keys and leave.

The several new quilts and quilt covers she made had long been sent out through the post, leaving only two old ones from a few years ago.

But in the eyes of the captain's wife, this is also a good thing, even though the color looks old and washed white, without a single patch.

Ji Qinglan would not take away the pots and pans, the rice jar, the wardrobe and the chest of drawers in the kitchen, big or small.

This made the captain's wife feel a little comforted after receiving the money.

The ticket Xiao Yi bought for her was for the morning of the 28th. After Luo Hongyu's graduation banquet, the day was getting closer.

Ji Qinglan went to the brigade to get a letter of introduction and the household registration transfer certificate for the three of them.

Mr. Li could have returned to the city a long time ago, but he had never wanted to, so his household registration had always been in the Honghe Brigade. This time he moved with them.

Li Changlin was still a little reluctant. Although Mr. Li had a bad temper, he would occasionally mention it and give a prescription. Everyone in the team knew which herbal medicine would cure colds, relieve coughs, and stop bleeding...

They couldn't bear to leave this time.

Early in the morning on the 27th, Ji Qinglan got up to prepare food for the journey, including eggs, omelettes, steamed buns, pickles, fried pork floss, and biscuits and pastries bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Three large bags are prepared to ensure that each meal will be different.

She was preparing in the kitchen when Liu Yumei came over with a bag of sugar.

"Why are you here? Why aren't you going to work?"

Liu Yumei said indifferently: "You don't know what my class is all about. It's just sitting and playing. You're leaving tomorrow. I'll bring you some food."

Liu Yumei put the cloth bag on the table. Inside it were winter melon candy and malt sugar prepared by Niu Guixiang, as well as rice balls she had made, and a can of pickled shredded radish.

"My mother-in-law pickled some shredded radish, which goes well with rice." Liu Yumei said as she helped her light the fire.

Seeing that she had no feelings of parting, Ji Qinglan couldn't help but laugh: "I'm leaving, but you don't seem reluctant to let me go? Xin Cheng is still your godson, right?"

Liu Yumei rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why should I be reluctant? I'm not sad at all, I'm actually very happy. My good sister has gone to pursue her career and will surely be very successful in the future. My godson will enjoy the good life with you."

"Am I reluctant to let you go and hold you back from pursuing your future?"

University! After graduation, you will be assigned a job and you won’t have to worry about your life.

"I will sell everything I have to support my family of four. I can't let them live a hard life in the countryside like Jianguo and I did."

Ji Qinglan didn't expect Liu Yumei to have such awareness.

"Your family is a good place in the village. You have Secretary Zhang and Zhang Jianguo. What are you worried about?"

Liu Yumei felt that her good sister could not understand her suffering at all.

With the little that this father and son have, it will be difficult for the four children in the family to support themselves in the future.

"I have four children at home. How can I not worry? Jianguo has to be sneaky when he goes out to sell candy. It's like a thief to earn hard-earned money."

She and her mother-in-law were always very careful when making candy, for fear that someone would smell the smell and report it.

If her family had been financially stable, she would have wanted to buy Ji Qinglan's house and leave it to her two sons.

Ji Qinglan suddenly thought and realized that Liu Yumei was a person with ideas, and it was her idea to sell candy at home.

The Zhang family was united, and Secretary Zhang also supported Zhang Jianguo in going out to sell candy.

"The momentum is getting better and better. Maybe in a few years free trading will be allowed." Ji Qinglan said in a low voice.

When Liu Yumei heard this, she couldn't help but look up at her and said uncertainly, "Is this true?"

Ji Qinglan: "How would I know about the above matters, but I think things will only get better in the future."

Liu Yumei's eyes lit up. She believed in Ji Qinglan. She had said before that the college entrance examination might be resumed, but she didn't expect that it would really be resumed.

If she said she could do business in the future, she would believe it.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

Ji Qinglan certainly knew that reform and opening up would begin next year, and more and more people would be doing business by then. There would be no restrictions on the flow of people at that time, and Liu Yumei and others might even be able to go to Yanjing to do business.

"It's good that you have ideas, but I suggest you and Jianguo read more books and learn more knowledge, otherwise you won't understand a contract in the future."

Ji Qinglan did not look down on the two of them, but gave them sincere advice.

Liu Yumei frowned when she heard this. Zhang Jianguo was a junior high school graduate after all, but she only studied in the first grade. If she was asked to read books, she might as well hold a child.

It’s not that books are not interesting, it’s just that I can’t hold an older child in my left hand and a younger child in my right hand!

Seeing her like this, Ji Qinglan didn't try to persuade her. He just asked them to read more newspapers and read more news.

"You can find a lot of news in newspapers. Newspapers are also an important place for you to understand the outside wind direction. You should develop the habit of reading newspapers and learn how to analyze."

Liu Yumei nodded: "My father-in-law has the newspaper. I will read it every day and regard it as learning."

Ji Qinglan couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Yumei wanted to go back at noon, and Ji Qinglan asked her to stay for lunch, but she was unwilling to do so.

"No need to eat anymore. There are two kids at home waiting for milk. I'll ask Jianguo to drive a cow cart over to take you there in the afternoon." Liu Yumei waved her hand and left.

Ji Qinglan quickly took out two cans of prepared milk and food from the house and handed them to her.

Liu Yumei saw it and quickly pushed it back, complaining: "Why are you still buying milk powder for us? How much does it cost?"

"This is what I feed the children. Take it. I don't know when I'll see them again after I leave."
