Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1389 Lazy Wife 6
When Linlang heard Chen Lei's words, she didn't refute him immediately. After all, no one likes others to refute them. She just said, "Let's talk about it when we go to the city tomorrow."

After all, it is a provincial capital, and after so many years of reform and opening up, opportunities to make money can still be found.

When they returned to Chen's house, Chen's parents saw them coming back and asked with concern, "Did you get the money?"

Linlang touched Chen Lei, meaning that she wanted him to talk to Chen's father and mother, as she was too lazy to waste words with them.

Chen Lei received her signal and boasted: "It is impossible for me, your son, to fail."

After hearing this, Chen's father and mother couldn't help but feel happy. Although this money was their daughter-in-law's dowry and they certainly couldn't use it, it belonged to their Chen family in the end and was considered income for the Chen family, so they were happy about it.

Chen Lei immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "It's not safe to keep so much money at home. Tomorrow Linlang and I will go to the city to deposit it."

In the 1980s, before the crackdown, there were indeed a lot of illegal and criminal activities. Chen's parents told them that they had no objection to saving the money, but they had an objection to them not doing anything.

Linlang said that he didn't work, and it was useless for them to scold him. It was absolutely unacceptable for their son not to work. Otherwise, if the youngest son didn't work, how could the eldest and second sons work? Today, the youngest son and his wife went to her mother's house and didn't work. The eldest and second sons were already dissatisfied. They couldn't let them go tomorrow, so they said, "Wait until there is no work during the farming season."

Chen Lei naturally disagreed and said, "We still have to save it quickly..." Otherwise, it would be four dollars if we delay for a month! However, he also knew that he had been doing nothing, and his elder and second brothers would have opinions. He was also good at talking, so he said, "How about this, I will buy some meat tomorrow. We haven't eaten meat in a long time."

He was not afraid to say this, but Linlang was unwilling to do so, because they had discussed this matter before, saying that it would be better for Linlang to go alone. If he went too and did nothing every day, his parents would definitely not agree. So Linlang said that she would go to the city to buy some things and bring them back. Chen Lei thought it was feasible, so he said this now.

When Chen Lei said this, Chen's father and mother had no objection. After all, as long as they said that Chen Lei would bring back meat from the city, their son and daughter-in-law would definitely not say anything, so they agreed immediately.

As expected, Brother Chen, Brother Chen II and others were very unhappy when they heard that Chen Lei and his wife were going to take a leave of absence tomorrow, but when they heard Chen Lei say that he would buy meat tomorrow, they immediately agreed.

Anyway, there is no end to farm work, so just do it slowly. It won't delay anything if he doesn't do it for one day.

As for his wife not doing it, that wouldn't cause any delay. After all, his wife was originally responsible for chopping firewood, cleaning the pigpen and chicken coop, etc. at home. Farming was only done during the busy farming season. The things she did normally wouldn't affect the work in the fields.

What's more, the young couple from the third room said two days ago that only one person from the third room would do the work from now on. Judging from the way they act, I'm afraid it's true.

If they can't resolve this issue, the third son's wife might not work anymore and they can no longer rely on her.

So when I heard them say they would buy some meat, I had no objection.

What's the problem with eating meat?

Although life has been getting better and better in recent years, with people earning an annual income of ten thousand yuan emerging and some families being able to eat meat every day, the Chen family's life has not improved much. They can seldom eat meat a few times a year. So when Chen Lei said they were going to buy meat, they were happy for him not to work.

Since everyone had no objection, the next morning, Chen's mother baked some pancakes for them to take with them on the road, in case they were too hungry on the long journey. She also gave them a kettle of water to take with them, in case they ran out of water and had to buy water again. Wouldn't that be a waste of money?
Carrying dry food and water, Chen Lei and Linlang set off.

At this time of year, many families in the village have already bought bicycles, but the Chen family is poor and has not yet bought a bicycle, so Chen Lei and Linlang still have to walk.

But after all, it was the suburbs of the provincial capital, so they didn't need to walk too far. They only needed to walk a short distance to the main road, and then they could hail a ride to take them to the city. Most people would help take them, and those who didn't want to could just take another one. After all, it was the provincial capital, and after several years of reform, there were still some vehicles on the road.

Soon the two of them arrived at the main road. Looking at the vehicles passing by from time to time, Linlang and Chen Lei waved as they walked, and soon a tractor was willing to take them, but they had to pay 50 cents each as fare, which was one dollar for two people.

Both Chen Lei and Linlang were a little tired from walking, and the weather was a bit hot, and it would be hot if they walked for a long time, so they didn't save the money. They paid one dollar and took the bus.

The weather is very warm now, and riding on the tractor is not only not cold, but also quite comfortable to feel the wind blowing. The two are very satisfied.

The two were not worried whether the driver was a bad guy or whether he would kill or rob. They were in the provincial capital, and even if there was a black driver, they would not dare to do it in broad daylight. Besides, both Linlang and Chen Lei had certain fighting ability, but there was only one driver, so the two were not afraid that two people could not beat one person.

The driver told them that they were lucky, as he was going to transport goods, so the car was empty. Otherwise, when the goods were brought back, there would be things in the car and it would be difficult to sit in it. What he didn't know was that if he loaded the goods, Linlang and Chen Lei would not wave. They just waved at the cars with empty seats. If the car was full of goods, they would not have planned to sit in it.

After sitting for about an hour, the two arrived in the city.

Linlang immediately went straight to the newsstand and bought a map of the city.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The two of them don't know the situation in the city, and it will be very troublesome without a map.

Now that they had a map, the two of them had a general understanding of the city.

Linlang then pointed to the city center and said, "Let's take the bus here."

Once you get to the city, there are buses to take, so you don’t have to worry about traffic problems, and the buses are very cheap.

Chen Lei asked curiously: "Why are you going there?"

Linlang said: "I want to see if there are any houses for sale."

Commercial housing is emerging, but what Linlang wants to buy is not this kind of commercial housing, but a private house.

In a city center like this, residential houses will definitely be demolished in the future and will not be retained.

Even if it is not demolished, the rent will be very expensive if it is renovated and rented out in the future, so it will not be a loss in any case.

The price of commercial housing will indeed increase, but it will definitely not be as much as the profit from demolition, so she decided to buy a private house.

Moreover, dilapidated residential houses are much cheaper than beautiful commercial houses.

If it were a commercial house, she might not be able to afford it with this little money.
