After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

The two strolled around until the afternoon, and Ruolan was happiest when she got her hands on a portrait of the Chairman.

When I strolled leisurely to the department store, it was already around 2:30 in the afternoon.

Before entering the building, Ruolan asked Shuisheng how much money he had brought.

Shui Sheng: "Don't worry, I have enough money today. It's Chinese New Year, so many things don't require coupons. Let's buy as much as we can while we don't need coupons."

"If I spend all this money, I'll just go earn more." He winked at Ruolan as he spoke, and Ruolan, seeing this, laughed so hard her eyes almost disappeared, and immediately understood what he meant.

The two of them had a wonderful time shopping there, spending money like water.

As for Granny Jie in the village, she was still bothered by those three yuan. There was nothing she could do; Granny Jie was a real tightwad.

But she couldn't do anything about the second son. He had changed so much in the past year, and he kept trying to get money from her.

The thought that the second wife only had one able-bodied man, and that her husband's wife couldn't do heavy work and had to support seven children made him feel increasingly cheated.

Old Lady Xie always thought she was fair and just. If the eldest son's family hadn't been responsible for taking care of her in her old age, she wouldn't have occasionally sided with them.

But she never suffered any losses; she managed all the household expenses, and she only took in money and never gave it away.

Previously, the second son would occasionally go to the back mountain to hunt and sell his catch for some money, but in the past year, he has become disobedient and unruly.

For a moment, Old Lady Xie even considered separating the family, thinking that she should separate the second son's family, since they had too many children.

They weren't the only family in this village that had split up.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but be tempted. There were just too many people in the second wife's family who did nothing, while one person did the work and nine people ate.

Old Lady Jie has never made a losing deal.

Watching her husband smoking tobacco, Xie Laoniang tried to discuss it, "Recently, the second son's branch of the family has only been spending money and not earning any, and he's the only able-bodied person. He has to work to support nine mouths. If this continues, the three brothers will have conflicts sooner or later. What do you think about us separating their branch of the family?"

Old Man Xie refused outright, "If we just separate them out of here, who knows what the villagers will say? They might think we've abandoned our second son. Aren't you afraid of the gossip in the village?"

The main reason was that he didn't want to lose face. What would others think if he just separated his second son from his wife? Besides, his second son's wife was sickly because of his eldest son's wife.

It's obvious to everyone that the second son's family relies on him for support, while the eldest grandson will have to wait two more years before he can rely on him.

A person lives for their reputation, just as a tree lives for its bark. No matter how tough things get, he has to persevere.

The family must never be divided. If it must be divided, it should wait until the eldest grandson grows up and gets married.

Grandma Jie isn't afraid of those gossipy old women in the village at all!

She was the leader of that group of gossipy women; only she could talk about others, and no one dared to say a word against her.

Those who spoke ill of her behind her back were all dealt with by her.

However, she then thought that the second son was, after all, her son. If they were really separated, the whole family would starve if the second son were the only one left.

Although she didn't like Mi Ruolan, she still liked Mi Ruolan's eldest grandson very much.

When Ruolan and Shuisheng came out of the department store, it was almost dark. They had to hurry home, otherwise they wouldn't be able to find their way in the dark.

The two carried bags of various sizes, and Ruolan was overjoyed.

The things they're buying now are things they might not be able to buy even with a ticket in the future!

I bought a thermos, which is commonly used in winter; a flashlight, which is very convenient to use in rural areas; a lot of soap; and a Shanghai brand watch.

I saw that they had pure cotton fabric, so I bought the maximum quantity available. I also bought a few kilograms of yarn for the peony-patterned bed sheets.

I bought multiple portions of soy sauce, salt, vinegar, lunch boxes, face cream, and iron pots. Now that we don't need coupons, I can buy as much as I can, because I'm sure I'll need these in the future.

We've even bought farm tools; they'll come in handy later. These iron tools won't break, and you can't live without them in the countryside. We should buy as many as we can.

Once the two left the city and reached a secluded spot, Shui Sheng tossed the items into his spatial storage.

Seeing that the thing that was just in her hand had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Ruolan found it very interesting and couldn't help but ask.

"What's your space like? Can you fit all that stuff in there?"

Shui Sheng patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, the space is huge, as big as a room. It's about twenty square meters."

When Shui Sheng first got this space, he wanted to throw everything into it; he felt uneasy if he didn't fill it up.

So he took advantage of his free time during the winter to make as much money as he could.

Earn as much money as possible and stock up on supplies before the famine, so you won't have to worry after it's over. After all, once the famine is over, you can buy anything with money and ration coupons.

As soon as the two arrived home, feeling a little guilty, they quickly handed the candy they had brought to their mother, which also shut her up from her nagging.

"You've been out for so long and all you bought was this one bag of candy?"

Seeing that her mother-in-law glared at them with fiery eyes and spoke in a sarcastic tone as soon as they returned, Ruolan couldn't help but retort:

"Your dollar is only enough to buy this candy. What else do you want to buy? I'd like to buy you some clothes, but I don't have any money."

Old Lady Xie couldn't stand her daughter-in-law talking back. She was already fuming all day and just wanted to vent her anger. But her second daughter-in-law dared to talk back to her as soon as she came back.

How could she tolerate this? Her eyes widened in anger immediately, "Second son, are you mute? Your wife dares to talk back to me, and you just stand by and watch. Don't you want your mother to have an easy time?"

Shuisheng knew that his mother couldn't stand him being idle, and she would always refer to him as the second son.

It's no wonder his mother was furious, but he generally didn't get involved in conflicts between his mother and daughter-in-law as long as his wife didn't suffer any losses.

Now, seeing his mother pointing at him, Shui Sheng, looking like a henpecked husband, said helplessly, "Mom, Ruo Lan is even younger than me. I finally managed to marry such a young wife, so I have to listen to her. What if she gets angry if I scold her for your sake?"

Seeing her second son, who was so big, hiding behind his wife with such a pitiful expression, Old Lady Xie felt utterly humiliated.

Moreover, the second son actually didn't listen to her, which made Old Lady Xie so angry that she didn't care about whether the first day of the Lunar New Year was auspicious or not.

He grabbed a broom and started hitting the second son and his wife, mainly the second son's wife, who had been urging her husband to ask for money early this morning.

She had thought she could just bear it and it would pass, but when her second son and his wife came back, she asked them just one question, and this daughter-in-law dared to talk back.

The second son, that blockhead, even favors taking care of his wife; he's really disobedient to everyone.

If she doesn't teach them a lesson today, she won't be able to maintain her authority in the family. Recently, her three daughters-in-law have become a bit lax, so today she's going to make an example of them.
