Mao Li and Sun Yanyan, who had just walked over, stood still for an instant, and then looked at the pickup truck in surprise:
"Yanyan, you have sharp eyes. Can you see if the police are here to demand a fine?"
Sun Yanyan stretched her neck and looked forward like a shelduck in the wild. Sure enough, she saw the uniformed policeman with an ugly face, and he also accepted the money from Song Tan's hand.
"Eighty percent yes." She replied steadily:
"How talented she is! She drives a small shabby truck every day to sell high-priced vegetables. She only recognizes the money and not the people... If this were the past, my cousin's neighbor's son worked in the Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau. He had to rely on favors.
Say a few nice words. Now..."
She snorted: "It's normal for people who make a lot of money to look down on our poor relatives."
Mao Li was nervous, but there was a slight smile on her lips: "That's right!"
"I just said that their vegetables are so expensive and they earn dirty money. Sooner or later something will happen."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watched the scene in front of them with passion, even the drizzle could not dampen their happiness.
It wasn't until the man in police uniform left and the two of them looked at each other that they walked briskly to the familiar little broken car and looked like they were sighing:
"Tantan, I told you that vegetables can't be sold like this. Look, you didn't pay attention. Isn't it a fine?"
Song Tan was playing with the next few bags of bamboo shoots.
There wasn't much left. It weighed three to five pounds, which added up to only four bags. She might as well carry all four bags.
Just then I got up and heard this familiar voice.
So she turned back and smiled at Mao Li: "Yes, auntie, this morning, two policemen came and fined me one hundred and sixty."
The vegetable vendor next to him burst out laughing.
Isn't that one hundred and sixty? Zhu Suo's one hundred, Xiao Zhou's sixty. This girl looked lively at first, then found to be majestic, and finally found to be quite steady. Looking at it now, why is she so narrow-minded?
When Sun Yanyan looked over, the vegetable seller lowered his head again and played with the vegetable leaves in front of him.
Sun Yanyan withdrew her gaze and covered her mouth in an exaggerated manner: "One hundred and sixty! Oh, that's a lot. Do you want me to help you find someone through connections? How can I cancel this fine? They are all from my family, don't
polite."
This sorrel's pretentious tone was so hypocritical that the vegetable seller couldn't bear to look directly at it, but Song Tan had a look of surprise:
"Okay, sister-in-law, you are still reliable in doing things. I'm sorry to have to worry about you. I'm waiting to go home. Can you refund this fine to me as soon as possible?"
Sun Yanyan:......
Her face froze.
Not to mention the fact that a girl selling vegetables talked about how others would think of her, just because of the relationship... She didn't lie about the relationship. It was indeed her cousin's neighbor's son who was working as an urban management officer and heard it when she was gossiping.
But I don’t know their last name at all!
Now that she was just bragging, Song Tan just climbed up the pole, making her look serious and pretending to be profound:
"What do you know? The government has to follow procedures to do things. It can't be so fast. Besides, it's only 160. It's not worth the favor for this."
Just as he was talking, he saw another policeman in his thirties running towards the street.
The other party was wearing uniforms, and when he saw Sun Yanyan and Mao Li, they were a little embarrassed, and their faces tightened.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law subconsciously stepped back and watched helplessly as the man stepped forward to stare at the plastic bags and asked, "How many are these?"
"Three hundred and two, take them all away." Song Tan also said simply.
The other party instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I couldn't get it today."
He transferred the money quickly, picked up a few bags in front of him, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Song Tan listened to the prompt "WeChat payment is 320 yuan" and now smiled at Mao Li:
"Thanks to my sister-in-law's favor, I got the double refund pretty quickly."
Then he said regretfully: "Oh, auntie, you see, it's a bad time to come, everything is sold out, and I said I would leave two sticks for you to try..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. There's a lot of work waiting to be done at home. I work so hard every day and only earn a few thousand yuan. What's enough for me?"
Earn several thousand a day? This shabby bamboo shoot? No capital business?!
The pickup truck made a hard-working sound, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law watched each other skillfully turn onto the road and then disappear, feeling their blood pressure rise.
…
Because both of them were sulking, Mao Li walked through the vegetable market and reluctantly spent money to buy some.
But what about all that lettuce?
After all, it still has its place on the dinner table.
However, no one in the whole family cared about it. Only Mao Li stubbornly tried to consume it.
Song Dafang really couldn’t stand it:
"To the neighbors upstairs, downstairs, and across the street, if you want to give it to anyone, just give two to them. Such a big pile will last until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
In fact, Mao Li usually wears gold and silver, and likes to show off in front of others. At this time, she is not stingy at all, and giving things really gives her a sense of superiority.
But this time, who made her get into trouble with Lettuce?
At this moment, he rolled his eyes: No.
"Every day, I just give them what they want, but you still can't make it? I'll blanch them and dry them in the sun, and save them for winter."
Ziyi held her own special bowl and asked curiously: "Why do you need to eat it in winter? Are there no vegetables in the supermarket in winter?"
Mao Li felt suffocated, but facing her little granddaughter, she still smiled: "Because your mother doesn't go to work and spends money randomly, our family must live frugally and not waste money."
Ziyi had just entered kindergarten. At this moment, she sighed like a little adult and seriously educated her grandma:
"Grandma, you can't say that. The teacher said that the contributions of housewives must also be respected.:"
This was a special themed lecture held on Women's Day last month. Although children in kindergarten are young, children nowadays are really smart and often say amazing things.
At this moment, Mao Li felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
She really wanted to flip the table.
Why, she's not a housewife. She's been taking care of her inside and out for so many years, so why doesn't anyone say anything considerate?
Now that I have a daughter-in-law, she is either hanging out or spending money every day. Does she do a little bit of housework at home? I would like to give Ziyi some juice, toast some bread or something, it’s not much more useful!
That's it, her granddaughter is still considerate of her!
The more Mao Li thought about it, the angrier she became, but looking at Song Ziyi's young face, she was too lazy to argue and could only hum: "You kid, you don't understand. You will know when you grow up."
Ziyi snorted: "Grandma, you know how to say this."
Because of this incident, Mao Li became more and more suffocated and decided to make good use of the free lettuce.
So I cleared away the dishes and started working in the kitchen.
Peel, shred, blanch, dry...
She was working on the big project of dozens of bamboo shoots alone in the kitchen with a sore back and backache. After finishing the work, she looked up and saw: It was already dark!
Let's try to update three times a day tomorrow...just give it a try, forget it if you can't do it.
