Chapter 151: Fines and relatives

~7 min read 1,332 words

At the corner of the vegetable market.

Mao Li and Sun Yanyan, who had just walked over, stood still instantly, and then looked at the pickup truck with suspicion:

"Yan Yan, your eyes are sharp, see if the police are here to collect fines?"

Sun Yanyan stretched her neck forward like a flower duck in the wild, and sure enough, saw the policeman in uniform looking ugly, and also took the money from Song Tan's hand.

"Eight out of ten." She answered steadily:

"She is so capable! Selling high-priced vegetables in a broken car every day, only recognizing money and not people... If it were before, my cousin-in-law's neighbor's son worked in the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, and I would have to entrust a favor and say a few good words. Now..."

She snorted: "It's normal for people who make big money to look down on our poor relatives."

Mao Li was nervous in her heart, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Deserved!"

"I said their vegetables are sold so expensively, earning black-hearted money. Sooner or later something will happen."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watched this scene with passion, and the drizzle could not stop their happiness.

Until the person in police uniform left, the two looked at each other, and then stepped on the light pace to the familiar little broken car, posing a look of sighing:

"Tan Tan, I said vegetables can't be sold like this, look, just one carelessness, fined, right?"

Song Tan was fiddling with the remaining few bags of bamboo shoots.

There weren't many, three catties, five catties, adding up to four bags in total. She simply carried these four bags down.

Just stood up, and heard this familiar voice.

So she turned her head and smiled at Mao Li: "Yes, Big Aunt, all morning, two policemen came, fined me one hundred and sixty in total."

The vegetable vendor next to her "puffed" and laughed.

Isn't that one hundred and sixty? Director Zhu one hundred, Little Zhou's sixty. This girl looked lively at first, later found to be atmospheric, and now looks steady, why is she so narrow-minded?

Until Sun Yanyan looked over, the vegetable vendor lowered his head and fiddled with the vegetable leaves in front of him again.

Sun Yanyan took back her gaze, and at this moment covered her mouth exaggeratedly: "One hundred and sixty! Oh my, that's quite a lot, do you want me to help entrust a relationship to find someone? Anyway, it's family, don't be polite."

This sour and fake tone, hypocritical to the point that the vegetable vendor couldn't bear to look directly, however, Song Tan looked pleasantly surprised:

"Okay, Big Sister-in-law, you are still reliable in doing things, trouble you to entrust a relationship. I'm waiting to go home, can I get this fine back quickly?"

Sun Yanyan:...

Her face stiffened.

Not to mention having a sister-in-law who sells vegetables, how others see her, just say this relationship... she didn't lie, it was indeed heard when gossiping that her cousin-in-law's neighbor's son worked as a city manager.

But she didn't even know the person's name!

Now just bragging, Song Tan climbed up the pole, making her have to be serious, pretending to be profound:

"What do you know? Government work has procedures, how can it be so fast. Besides, just one hundred and sixty, it's not worth it to owe a favor for this."

Just talking, another policeman about thirty years old ran over on the street.

The other party was wearing a uniform, and looked a bit embarrassed when seeing Sun Yanyan and Mao Li, his face was tight.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law subconsciously stepped back, watching the person step forward and stare at the few plastic bags, asking: "How much for these?"

"Three hundred and twenty, take them all." Song Tan was also crisp.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief instantly: "Thought I wouldn't be able to grab it today."

He skillfully transferred the money, and then carried the few bags in front of him, and ran away like a wind.

Song Tan listened to the "WeChat collection of three hundred and twenty yuan" prompt, and smiled at Mao Li again:

"Still my sister-in-law's face is useful, this double refund came back quite fast."

And then said regretfully: "Oh my, Big Aunt, look, it's not a coincidence, things are sold out, and I said I would leave two roots for you to taste...."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first, there's a pile of work waiting at home, day after day, tired to death and only earning a few thousand, what is it enough for?"

Earning thousands a day? This broken bamboo shoot? Business with no capital?!

The little pickup truck made a sound of hard work, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watched the other party skillfully turn and go on the road, and then disappear, only feeling that their blood pressure was rising.

Because both of them were in a bad mood, Mao Li picked and chose all the way in the vegetable market, and then barely spent money to buy some.

But what about so much lettuce?

There was still a place for it on the dinner table.

Unfortunately, no one in the family asked, only Mao Li stubbornly wanted to consume it.

Big Uncle couldn't stand it:

"Upstairs and downstairs, neighbors opposite, whoever you want to give, send two roots, such a big pile, eat until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."

Actually, Mao Li wears gold and silver every day, likes to show off in front of people, she is not stingy at all when sending things, and sending things is really quite superior.

But this time, who made her fight with the lettuce.

At this moment, she rolled her eyes: No.

"Day after day, what is it to send, send, send, still living or not? Later I will blanch them and dry them, keep them for winter."

Ziyi held her own bowl, curious: "Why eat in winter? Are there no vegetables in the supermarket in winter?"

Mao Li held her breath, but facing her little granddaughter, she still twisted a smile: "Because your mom doesn't work and spends money randomly, our family has to be frugal and can't waste."

Ziyi is only in kindergarten, at this moment, like a little adult, sighed, and seriously educated her grandma:

"Grandma, can't say that, the teacher said, the contribution of housewives should also be respected.:"

This is a theme lecture held specifically for March 8th Women's Day last month, don't look at the kindergarten children being small, but now children are really smart, often have amazing words.

At this moment, Mao Li felt like she was stabbed in the heart.

She really wanted to flip the table.

What, she is not a housewife, she has been taking care of things inside and out for so many years, why didn't anyone say considerate words?

Now that there is a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is either strolling or spending money every day, has she touched any housework? At most, she makes a juice or bakes a bread for Ziyi, what she uses is not as much as what she loses!

Just this, the granddaughter is considerate of her!

Mao Li got angrier the more she thought, but looking at Song Ziyi's tender little face. She was too lazy to argue, could only snort: "You child, don't understand, you will know when you grow up."

Ziyi snorted: "Grandma, you only know how to say this sentence."

Because of this, Mao Li felt more and more suffocated, decided to make good use of this free lettuce.

So she cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and got busy in the kitchen.

Peeling, cutting silk, blanching, turning and drying...

The big project of dozens of bamboo shoots, she was sore and back-aching in the kitchen alone, looked up after finishing: the sky was dark! ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
