Chapter 287 Shi Xiu is jealous of her mother-in-law
Seeing Ling Chuan leaving in a hurry, Shi Xiu sighed to Ling Jiang, "Brother, you are a real person who values love and justice. You would rather be hungry than let your subordinates suffer."
Ling Jiang responded with a smile, "It should be so. Although Chuanzi and I are not highly educated, we also know that we must live up to our own consciences. Conscience is the bottom line. You can't lose anything without losing your conscience."
"Brother Ling, you are right! It is the same when we do business. Honesty is the basis and money is obtained in a wise way, so that we can make a lot of money."
Everyone drank tea instead of wine and chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
On the other side, after Lingchuan brought the rice to Deng Wenbin, he did not immediately go back to the restaurant to eat. Instead, he turned into a shop on the roadside.
"Boss, can you make a call?"
"Yes, it's 5 cents for local calls and 1 yuan for long distance calls."
The price is much more expensive than that in Jiang City, and I don’t know if it’s because he is a foreigner.
However, Lingchuan didn't care about this. He picked up the phone and dialed the number he knew by heart.
The few minutes of waiting seemed as long as an hour to him.
When he finally heard his wife's familiar and sweet voice on the phone, Lingchuan's fatigue and hunger disappeared in an instant, leaving only joy in his heart.
"Daughter-in-law, have you had dinner?"
"I ate, what about you?"
"I'll eat it later."
"Oh, where are you now? When will you come back?"
"If everything goes well, there should be a train tomorrow night. I was supposed to leave tonight, but I met a small boss from northern Shaanxi, and he said he would take me to see a batch of good goods tomorrow..."
Lingchuan twisted the phone cord with his fingers and couldn't help but tell his wife about the situation he encountered when picking up the goods today.
The phone call lasted almost 10 minutes.
Although the phone bill was expensive, Lingchuan felt satisfied and at ease inside.
By the time he returned to the restaurant, everyone had almost finished eating.
"Brother Ling, why don't I order something new for you? The dishes on the table are all cold. It's so cold. It's easy to get upset if you eat them."
Lingchuan originally wanted to eat something, but after hearing Shi Xiu's reminder and thinking that he would have to keep the food in the middle of the night, he put the dishes on the table onto a large plate and immediately called the waiter.
"Please help me heat up this dish."
Seeing the various leftovers on the plate, the waiter looked a little surprised, but he didn't refuse his request.
After a while, a plate of hot leftovers was brought back to the table.
Lingchuan picked up the chopsticks and ate hungrily.
Shi Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Ling, you have made a lot of money in business now, right? Why are you still so stingy with yourself?"
Lingchuan struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, "I have to save money."
"Why are you saving money? It's not like you don't have a wife."
Lingchuan took another big bite of food before replying: "My daughter-in-law will take the college entrance examination next year, and I have to save for her tuition."
Shi Xiu was amused, "It's still half a year before the college entrance examination. Besides, you may not be able to pass the exam on the first time. My natal nephew took the exam for three years before he was admitted to a junior college."
"My wife's grades are good. She will definitely pass the exam next year."
"Then which school is she going to apply for?"
"Kyoto University."
Shi Xiu was slightly surprised, "Beijing University? It's not Jingcheng University, right?"
"It's Jingcheng University."
Although the people at the table were all illiterate, they still knew the name of Capital University.
"Brother Ling, it's not easy to get into Beijing University. Just take our Urumqi. Only one person got into Beijing University this year. Isn't Sister Yun's goal set a little too high?"
"It's not high, she has the strength."
Shi Xiu didn't believe it in her heart. She always felt that it would be good for a pretty and delicate girl like Yun Mo to pass the technical secondary school normal school examination.
However, seeing the pride and pride on Lingchuan's face, Shi Xiu didn't want to pour cold water on him. He just smiled and responded: "I didn't expect Sister Yun to have such lofty ideals. That's fine, I can wait until next year. Listen carefully."
News, if Sister Yun really gets admitted, I will give her a pair of gold ingots as a gift!"
Lingchuan was subconsciously modest, "Sister Shi, you are too polite. There is no need to spend so much money."
"I keep my word, and everyone will bear witness. If Brother Ling's wife is admitted to Beijing University next year, I will give her a pair of pure gold ingots!"
The driver smiled and joked, "These gold ingots can be big or small. How heavy is the one the boss lady plans to give?"
Shi Xiu pointed to the salted peanuts on the table, "Just a pair as big as peanuts."
Pure gold the size of a peanut is at least 10 grams. The current price of gold is in the early 20s, and a gold ingot the size of a meter of peanut costs more than 200 yuan.
Everyone laughed and praised Shi Xiu for her grandeur, but her mother-in-law, who was sitting next to Shi Xiu, was not happy.
She pushed Shi Xiu angrily, "Look at what you can do. People forget your last name after just a few compliments. Why don't you buy me a pair of gold ingots if you have money?"
Being scolded by her mother-in-law in public, Shi Xiu suddenly lost her temper.
Lingchuan hurriedly spoke out to save the situation, "Auntie, everyone is just joking for fun, don't take it seriously."
Others saw that something was wrong and responded one after another.
"Yes, it's not that easy to get into Beijing University. Those who could get into Beijing University would have been ranked number one in ancient times."
"That's the truth. To be able to get into Beijing University, you have to smoke from your ancestral graves."
After hearing what everyone said, Grandma Shi Xiu's face looked better.
After eating and drinking, Lingchuan took out the 110 yuan he had prepared and handed it to Shi Xiu.
Shi Xiu looked surprised, "Brother Ling, what are you..."
Lingchuan explained with a sincere face: "Sister Shi, of the 110 yuan, 10 yuan is the money I gave to the security guard in the afternoon, and the remaining 100 yuan is a little bit of my kindness. As I said before, you can help me find the source of goods.
I'll pay you for your hard work."
"You don't need so much, just give me some meaning."
Lingchuan directly forced the money into the other party's hands, "Sister Shi, this is what it should be. Without your help, this truckload of goods would not have been shipped out so smoothly. You must accept it. This is also my wife."
the meaning of."
Hearing this, Shi Xiu no longer refused, "Okay, I'll accept it shamelessly. Anyway, if you and Sister Yun need anything in the future, just come to me and don't be polite."
"Okay." Lingchuan looked at the sky outside, "It's getting late. Sister Shi, you and your aunt should go home and take the children to rest."
Shi Xiu looked at them, "Then how do you plan your nights? You have to find a place to rest."
"I'm going to find a hotel nearby."
Shi Xiu thought for a while and said, "I'll take you there. You don't know that people here are bullies. Seeing that you are from out of town, the price will definitely double."
Lingchuan couldn't help but nodded gratefully, "Sorry to trouble you, Sister Shi."
"If you have any trouble, let's go. There is a hotel just in front. It was opened last year. The rooms are big and new. There is a free bathhouse on the first floor, but there is an additional charge for taking a bath."
"OK."
It was getting late, and Shi Xiu didn't want the old man and the children to mess around, so he turned around and asked his mother-in-law to take the children home to rest first.
"What's so shameful that we can't be together? Shi Xiu, I'm warning you, if you dare to act outside while my son is not at home, I will not be the first to spare you!"
Shi Xiu didn't expect that her mother-in-law would misunderstand her despite her good intentions, and she would not save her any face in public. She was very angry for a while.
