Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money
Chapter 18: It’s just acting, as if everyone can do it!
Da Niu smelled the fragrance of the cake and rolled on the ground, crying and asking for food. Jin Mei couldn't coax him so she could only let him do what he wanted.
Seeing that Zhou Rong had a bad look in her eyes and never let go of her machete, Yang Kaiyun had to swallow his words when he wanted her to share the oil cakes.
Mother Fang didn't dare to yell at Zhou Rong in front of her, so she hid in the kitchen and muttered, "This little bitch is like a pig that fell into a swill bucket, all she does is eat and drink!
All the good things my mother had were squandered by her. I don’t know what sin the Yang family had committed to marry such a disaster.
She is just like the people in the Zhou family, none of them are good. So many of them die every year, why doesn't God take them away?!"
"You are such a scourge that you didn't die. How could anything happen to the upright and kind people in our Zhou family?"
A familiar and cold voice suddenly sounded, and Granny Fang was so frightened that her legs almost went weak and she fell down.
Zhou Rong approached Granny Fang with a machete in hand and said in a cold voice, "I couldn't hear clearly what you said just now. Please say it again.
If we have any opinions, we should speak them out to their faces. To speak ill of others behind their backs is the behavior of a despicable person. In the future, they will be tortured to death in the underworld."
Granny Fang: "...I...I wasn't talking about you...I was scolding Jin Mei, you misheard."
Zhou Rong: "Really? Then you better watch your mouth. If I find out that you say bad things about me and the Zhou family, I will drain your blood and sacrifice it to our Zhou family's ancestors."
Granny Fang: "!!! Got it... Got it..."
Zhou Rong washed the dishes and chopsticks used by himself and his children and put them back in his room.
Yang Yaodi and Dani were very careless when washing dishes, and there were always stains left in the dishes. She looked down on their work.
Before leaving the Yang family, she wanted to eat and use daily necessities separately from them.
There were rice, flour and clothes in the RV, but they were too exquisite and completely different from what everyone was eating and using now.
Zhou Rong didn't want to be questioned, and he didn't want to be exposed.
She secretly put the rice, oil, eggs, flour, pickles, clothes, etc. in the house into the RV and made many copies, enough for her and her children.
While copying these items, Zhou Rong discovered an unexpected surprise.
The rice, oil and flour of that era were not as refined as those in later generations. Because they did not look good, the system gave them very low evaluation prices.
Refined rice is 2 yuan per catty, oil is 8 yuan per catty, and flour is 2.5 yuan per catty.
The prices for eggs and bacon are a bit higher. For pure local eggs, the system charges 3 yuan each, and for local pork bacon, 40 yuan per pound.
As for items like clothing, the system's evaluation results are: low-quality old winter clothes, 0.5 yuan per kilogram, and second-hand low-quality bowls, chopsticks, water cups, and pottery jars, 0.01 yuan per piece.
This is the price for scrap recycling!
She put in a lot of quilts, clothes, bowls, chopsticks, pottery jars, cups, etc., and the system only charged 20 yuan.
This price is so beautiful!
Zhou Rong, who is frugal and thrifty, thought that apart from food, she could save a lot of money by copying all the daily necessities into the system!
After tidying up the house, Zhou Rong asked Erniu, Sanniu and Sanniu to take Sanni out to play.
After the children left, she locked the door, took out the lipstick from the RV, and smeared it around the wound on her forehead that was about to scab over, making her "injury" look serious.
After putting on makeup, Zhou Rong locked the door and wandered around the village with her head down.
As soon as Zhou Rong left, Mrs. Fang sat on the ground, slapped her legs, and cried out to the sky, saying that Zhou Rong had beaten her son to a cripple and that it was against justice.
He wanted to attract neighbors to "judge the situation" and put pressure on Zhou Rong, hoping that she would behave herself at home and get out of the Yang family on her own initiative...
Zhou Rong walked out and quietly turned back, hiding in a corner and watching, and laughed. It's just acting, as if everyone can do it!
The weather has been good these days, and the old men and women in Yanglinpo like to sit in front of their homes to bask in the sun, or gather in groups of three or five to chat about family matters.
Zhou Rong walked towards a few quick-talking aunts and sisters, who were the intelligence center of Yanglinpo.
When the lady saw her, she immediately asked curiously, "Zhou Rong, I heard that your Jin Lin wants to divorce you and marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the provincial capital. Is that true?"
Zhou Rong nodded weakly to confirm the old lady's guess.
Another lady asked: "Do your parents know about this? Do they agree to your divorce?"
Zhou Rong shook his head and said sadly, "I haven't told them yet. Jin Lin's vacation is over and he has to rush back to work. He said that he would accompany me back to Zhoujiawan to apologize to my parents when he is on vacation next time."
An auntie snorted, "Apologizing for this is useless! He drove you back to Zhoujiawan and became the son-in-law of a high-ranking official. He took advantage of everything. It's so unkind! Listen to me, don't divorce me, and see what the Yang family can do to you!"
An aunt agreed, "That's right! As long as you don't divorce, that woman from the city won't be able to enter the family. Even if she marries into the Yang family, you will be the head and she will be the mistress. Then you can make her serve you every day, dressing you, feeding you, and bringing you foot washing water. Torture her!"
An auntie replied, "What nonsense are you talking about! This is a new society. The government has issued a notice prohibiting concubines and saying that monogamy is the way to go. You have to go to the township government to get a marriage certificate. It's not as casual as before. If Jin Lin wants to marry again, he can only divorce Zhou Rong."
The lady noticed the wound on Zhou Rong's forehead and asked in surprise, "Did the Yang family beat you? They beat you with such a big wound?"
Zhou Rong sniffed and said aggrievedly, "Well, I didn't agree to divorce, and I had a quarrel with Jin Lin, so he beat me, and my parents-in-law also came to help.
I couldn't beat them, and almost all my bones were broken. I had to lie in bed for two days before I could barely get out of bed. "
The old lady looked at Zhou Rong's "horrible" wound and said angrily: "The Yang family has gone too far! Go to my house and sit for a while. I will send someone to Zhoujiawan to report the news and ask your parents to bring people to teach them a lesson!"
Zhou Rong held the lady's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, but I can't go to report the news. Before Jin Lin left home this morning, he said that if I dare to go back to Zhoujiawan to find someone to cause trouble, he will use the power of his new father-in-law to deal with my parents.
You also know that my parents are just ordinary people. How could they fight against officials?
Also, my parents-in-law would often lie on the ground, saying that I had beaten them and wanted to ask my parents for compensation.
They also said that even if the village head or township head came, they were not afraid, and as long as they continued to pretend to be sick, no one could say anything wrong about them.”
After hearing this, the lady said with contempt, "That old thing Fang is the best at making trouble. Before, Daniu stole two eggs from my house, and I caught him. But she insisted that the eggs belonged to her, and I wronged Daniu.
She had the audacity to say that I had scared her eldest grandson and that she wanted compensation from our family.
It's not surprising that this old fellow pretends to be sick to blackmail others. Come on, I'll go back with you and expose the old man's tricks!"
