Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich - Chapter 136: Divorce

Chapter 136: Divorce

Not only was Su Danhong guarded against Lao Qin’s wife, Zhang Xueli, she found her unpleasant. Zhang Xueli also didn’t like Su Danhong.

The last time Zhang Xueli went to see Su Danhong, she went with good intentions and she thought she was being kind enough. Who would have thought that Su Danhong would be so unfriendly? She tried her best, but Su Danhong was unwilling to lower the price.

Her family was one of Su Danhong’s biggest customers. Every time they went to pick up goods, they took so many, so why couldn’t she make it cheaper?

If it had not been for her husband, Lao Qin, who brought the fruit trees to her mountain, how could they get to where they were today? If the orchard was not successful, then the business behind it would be equally hopeless.

It was just like the saying: “when you drink water, you don’t forget the person who dug the well.” Once things were easy for her, she was ready to get rid of those who helped her!

Lao Qin frowned as he listened to his wife speak. “What are you talking about?”

“Don’t you understand what I just said? Jianyun’s wife is terrible, she’s too stingy. I’m trying to get closer to her, but she won’t even lower the price for me!” Zhang Xueli complained coldly.

When she brought this up, Lao Qin felt ashamed and scolded, “Please stop that!”

The last time he took his wife there, he did it because he wanted to build a stronger relationship with them. Just like how he had a strong friendship with Jianyun, he wanted their families to get closer. Moreover, Ji Jianyun was a loyal man, a great friend, and he also looked up to him.

So, he took his wife over there.

But he never thought his wife would go to Jianyun’s wife and secretly ask to lower the price.

Lao Qin felt that his dignity was going to be lost. Before he opened his shop, he knew that Su Jindang had opened a shop in the town. Su Jindang used to help them sell things, but now he was independent, and he also bought from them at the wholesale price.

Although Su Jindang was Ji Jianyun’s second brother-in-law, the price was the same for Lao Qin. Ji Jianyun was not biased towards anyone. He was also transparent about this. With Ji Jianyun’s personality, Lao Qin would not believe it if he gave each person a different price.

Moreover, his petty wife had gone to a different family to ask for a lower price than what Ji Jianyun had given. That family’s quality of goods was average and couldn’t compared to the chickens and eggs from Ji Jianyun

Anyone who came to his store to buy chickens and eggs would definitely become a repeat customer. He had been boasting that many of his eggs had a double yolk. His business was very good, and his profit margin was large.

More importantly, as soon as Ji Jianyun heard him say that the landlord was unreasonable and cunning, he immediately suggested that he buy the place, and if he didn’t have enough money, he could go to him!

Ji Jianyun was doing a lot for their friendship. How could Lao Qin be unhappy with that? He was not a white eyed wolf. The brotherhood he got in the army during those years was not in vain.

“I said, why are you biased towards her? She’s the one that can conduct herself with integrity. Why are you still blaming me?” Zhang Xueli complained.

“What do you mean she can’t conduct herself? If the price is too high for you, then do you think she’ll really give it to you for free? Can you get the goods at that price when you go to someone else’s business? And at that quality?” Lao Qin retorted.

He appreciated Ji Jianyun’s wife. He thought that such a generous woman was worthy of Jianyun.

The first time they met was when he was delivering fruit trees. At that time, he didn’t want to take any money from his brother. Ji Jianyun rarely asked him for help. How could he take this money?

However, when he delievered the fruit trees, Jianyun’s wife gave him more money. It wasn’t that much more, but they didn’t ask him to do this for free. He took the money home, and his wife was also happy. Truthfully, he felt very guilty for taking the money. He felt that he didn’t help Jianyun that much because if he asked someone else to deliver fruit trees, they would have definitely done it.

Unexpectedly, later on, Jianyun’s father introduced him to a lot of businesses.

After that, he went to help Jianyun sell goods. Every time he finished a job, Jianyun would pay him. Jianyun’s wife also prepared meat, eggs, and other types of fruits for him, and he brought it all home.

When he helped them sell fruit, she always gave him a big basket of things to go home with. His children were so happy. Sometimes they even ask him to bring home some candies. Jianyun’s wife was really kind.

On the other hand, his wife was not kind. In order to avoid trouble, he didn’t let her go again.

When Zhang Xueli heard what he said, she was so angry that she began to demand, “Have you fallen for her fox charms? Explain to me honestly, have you fallen for her fox charms?”

“Zhang Xueli, do you want to try saying that again?” Lao Qin was also furious. He thought that she was just being petty and fussy. He never thought that she would even say these things. She was not acting like a wife. Why was she being so shameless?

Lao Qin looked at his wife who he had been married to for so many years and he suddenly realized that she was like a stranger. *∞:｡.｡ 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮 ｡.｡:∞*

Zhang Xueli knew that she had said something bad. She quickly said, “Lao Qin, I am wrong. I didn’t mean it. I was just angry and confused!”

“If you don’t like Jianyun’s wife, then stop talking about her. In the future, I won’t go to his family to get stuff. I’ll go to another family to get them. I’ll do as you like. That’s fine, right?” Lao Qin grimly said.

Zhang Xueli immediately said, “Lao Qin, what are you saying? I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you pick up goods from over there!”

She just didn’t want to spend more money than she had to. Moreover, other people’s eggs might not sell well. Furthermore, many of Jianyun’s eggs had two yolks!

“If you still want me to get goods from Jianyun, then stop talking. If I hear you say that it is too expensive in the future, then I’ll go to another place to buy it!” Lao Qin blasted.

Zhang Xueli was unconvinced. She changed the subject and said, “That old landlord lady came again today. She pretty much said she wanted to raise the rent!”

“How much money do we have?” Lao Qin asked.

Zhang Xueli was surprised and asked coyly, “Why are you asking me this?”

“I’m going to buy this shop,” Lao Qin replied.

Zhang Xueli was shocked. “The cheapest shop is 2-3,000 yuan. How can we have that much money?!”

“I talked to Jianyun about it today. He said he could lend me some money,” Lao Qin said.

Zhang Xueli gritted her teeth and said, “Then you have to borrow more from him.

Lao Qin was speechless and said, “I remember there are still about 1,500 left in our family.”

Zhang Xueli didn’t dare to look at him, and said, “How can we have that much? You really don’t know how expensive food is.”

“How much is left?” Lao Qin thought of those people in his wife’s family and his face suddenly darkened.

Zhang Xueli resisted and said, “Didn’t my mother say last time that her hands had become swollen after washing clothes in cold weather? I took the money to buy a washing machine and spent more than 300 yuan.”

Lao Qin was upset. “Does your mother need to wash those clothes? Are all her daughters-in-law useless? We don’t even have a washing machine at home!”

“I already bought it.” Zhang Xueli said.

“How much is left at home now?!” Lao Qin bellowed.

“About-about 700 left,” Zhang Xueli whispered.

“About 700?” Lao Qin became more upset immediately. “Where did all the other money go?”

Zhang Xueli looked at his face, and knew that she could not escape. She listed it out one by one, “I bought a bicycle for my younger brother’s wedding. One time my eldest brother-in-law was not in good health, and my eldest sister came to borrow 200 yuan. There was also my younger sister’s dowry…” *∞:｡.｡ 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮 ｡.｡:∞*

Lao Qin’s face had darkened so much that ink could drip from it. In the end, he had to roar, “I, Qin Aiguo, married a daughter from the Lao Zhang family, not one of the other family members from the Lao Zhang family. I am telling you now, Zhang Xueli, go back to your maternal house and get the money. Aside from the washing machine, you can’t miss out on a cent. If you dare to give me a cent less, Zhang Xueli, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you and we will divorce!”
