Chapter 276： Willing to gamble

"Eighty daughter-in-law is sweet and sassy (

He Jihong just came out with a plate of dishes, and when he heard Chu Yuanzhi's words, he asked, "Your birthday is coming?"

These days, she was so busy, her daughter was not up to her expectations, she was so mad that she even forgot her husband's birthday. She used to celebrate Chu Yuanzhi's birthday every year, but He Jihong actually cared a lot about her obedient and beautiful little husband.

Chu Yuanzhi nodded, "Well, the day after tomorrow's birthday."

The tone of voice is a little aggrieved. In previous years, I gave him his birthday, and this year I didn't even mention it.

"I've been too busy to forget. I'll ask Qiaoqiao and Gu Ye to go home for dinner the day after tomorrow. I'll cook a few dishes and have a meal with the whole family to celebrate your birthday." He Jihong said.

Chu Yuanzhi was immediately happy, and he didn't ask for a big event, as long as there was a ceremony.

Chu Qiao on the other side of the phone heard the conversation of the two couples. Before Chu Yuanzhi could speak, she said, "I will come back with Gu Ye the night after tomorrow, and I will make you a birthday cake."

"Qiao Qiao, you can still make cakes?" Chu Yuanzhi was surprised, as if his daughter knew a lot of things, and he didn't know when she learned it. He, as a father, didn't know at all.

"I know a lot, I won't tell you, we'll go back for dinner the day after tomorrow!"

Chu Qiao said a few words, hung up the phone, and said a few words to the counselor, she was about to get angry. Although she is living well now, she still complains when she thinks of the past. Maybe as time goes by, she will Forget it slowly.

"Xiao Chu, did you buy the sweater on your body or knit it yourself?"

Someone called Chu Qiao, a housewife in the building, in her forties, dressed very plainly.

Chu Qiao saw Ni Haitang beside this woman, the daughter-in-law of the factory director, the woman who wanted her to make clothes last time, and now it was lunch break. Ni Haitang didn't go to work and was chatting with people downstairs.

Ni Haitang felt Chu Qiao's eyes, looked a little uncomfortable, and turned her eyes away.

Chu Qiao laughed secretly. In fact, she didn't hold any grudges, but she didn't bother to deal with people like Ni Haitang. Obviously, Ni Haitang wanted to inquire about sweaters, but was embarrassed to ask, so she asked for help.

"Yes, I just bought it this morning." Chu Qiao replied, and approached them so that Ni Haitang could see more clearly.

Because she knew that Ni Haitang would definitely not be able to afford it. Even if she was the daughter-in-law of the factory director, she would not be willing to buy 168 sweaters. Ni Haitang was the cashier, and her monthly salary was only a hundred yuan. Her husband was also in the factory. Working as a technician, the salary is more than 100 yuan, and the couple is less than 300 yuan, which is considered a high salary, but 168 sweaters are still too extravagant for Ni Haitang.

"It's so beautiful, Xiao Chu, you look better than a movie star, how foreign!"

Several housewives stood up, looked at the sweater up and down, and touched it with their hands. The reason why this sweater is expensive is that it is fashionable, and the wool is good, not piercing the skin, soft, breathable, and very comfortable.

"Is it wool? It's really comfortable to touch, Xiao Chu, how much does this sweater cost?" someone asked.

Ni Haitang's ears pricked up. She fell in love with this sweater as soon as she saw it. She felt that she must also look good in it, no worse than Chu Qiao.

"168 yuan."

As soon as Chu Qiao's voice fell, several women were silent, their expressions became strange, and they looked at her inexhaustibly.

"Xiao Chu, this sweater costs 168? Are you kidding me?" Everyone obviously didn't believe it, thinking that Chu Qiao was joking.

"It's 168. I bought it from the Liren Clothing Store on Zhongshan Road. The clothes there are all purchased from the port city. The styles are very new. You can't buy them anywhere else. You get what you pay for." Chu Qiao patiently explain.

Several women were dubious, but Chu Qiao said the name of the store, obviously not empty words, this sweater really cost 168 yuan.

"Tsk, I don't even get 168 a month's salary, Xiaochu, you paid me more than a month's salary for a sweater, you are really rich." A woman said enviously.

"Senior Gu just earned 60,000 yuan, enough for Xiao Chu to buy hundreds of sweaters." A woman said sour.

Chu Qiao is not angry, just let these people be jealous, because she lives better than these people, so she will be jealous. If she is poor, these people will not pity her, and may even step on her foot. .

Hate people have, laugh at people not, the world is like this.

"More than that, my husband just sold ten machine tools, and he has a lot of commissions. He said that the clothes I bought before were too cheap, and he was embarrassed. I think so too, so I bought two expensive ones, and waited for my husband. He must be happy when he comes back from get off work."

Chu Qiao said with a smile. Seeing these women's faces became ugly, she felt better. Although the money was not revealed, the whole factory knew about Gu Ye's sale of the machine tool. Everyone knows how much she can spend.

"Yeah, Section Chief Gu is really capable. He earns more money in a month than my man in ten years."

"Little Chu is so lucky. You can spend money like running water without going to work~ You can buy whatever you want."

The air was full of sourness, but Chu Qiao felt it was sweet, and she was in a better mood, because she had just thought of something and almost forgot.

"I also think I'm very lucky. My husband gives me all the money he earns, and he doesn't spend it himself. I can spend whatever I want. By the way, you won't forget our bet, right?" Chu Qiao Smile sweeter, reminding a few women.

These women are strangely familiar. She just remembered that Gu Ye had made a bet last month. If Gu Ye sold the machine within three months, she would have to lose ten yuan to her. Otherwise, she lost ten yuan to each person.

Xuan Hongxia talked to her last time, and promised to ask for money for her, but she forgot it again, just to collect the bill today, she went to buy delicious food.

The faces of several women immediately turned ugly. In fact, after learning that Gu Ye had sold ten machine tools, they discussed it privately, worried that Chu Qiao would ask them for money, but after several days, Chu Qiao did not move, and they just Don't worry, I thought Chu Qiao had forgotten about it, or maybe he didn't take ten yuan to heart.

I didn't expect that they didn't forget it at all, and asked them to pay, ten dollars, they could buy more than ten kilograms of meat, how could they be willing?

"Xiao Chu, it was a joke at the time, you still take it seriously." Someone said embarrassingly.

Chu Qiao restrained his smile and said righteously: "Why are you joking? We made it clear at the time that my husband sold the machine tool within three months, and each of you will give me ten dollars, otherwise I will give each of you. Ten yuan, I had all the money ready, but who made my husband too proud, he sold it in a month, I remember five bets with me at that time, all four of you, and one turned back to me Go upstairs and ask, come on, willing to admit defeat, we have to obey the rules!"

Reaching out Bai Nennen's hand, Chu Qiao looked at them with a smile, fifty yuan is not worth it, and you can have a big meal in the evening.
