Chapter 287： Shi Xiu is jealous of her mother-in-law

Chapter 287 Shi Xiu Suspected by Her Mother-In-Law

Looking at the background of Ling Chuan leaving in a hurry, Shi Xiu sighed to Ling Jiang, "You brother is a real person who values ​​love and righteousness. You would rather starve yourself than let your subordinates suffer."

Ling Jiang responded with a smile, "It should be so. Although Chuanzi and I are not highly educated, we also know that we should live up to our conscience. Conscience is the bottom line, and we can't lose our conscience if we lose anything."

"Brother Ling, you are right! Our business is the same, honesty is the foundation, and money can be made in a proper way, so that we can make a lot of money."

Everyone used tea instead of wine, and talked while eating, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

On the other side, after Ling Chuan brought the meal to Deng Wenbin, he didn't immediately go back to the restaurant to eat, but turned into a shop by the side of the road.

"Boss, can I make a call?"

"Yes, 5 cents for local calls, 1 yuan for long-distance calls."

This price is much more expensive than that in Jiang City, and I don't know if he is deceiving him as a foreigner.

But Ling Chuan didn't care about these, picked up the receiver and dialed the number he knew by heart.

A few minutes of waiting seemed like an hour to him.

When he finally heard the familiar and sweet voice of his wife in the microphone, Ling Chuan's exhaustion and hunger disappeared in an instant, leaving only joy in his heart.

"Daughter-in-law, have you had dinner yet?"

"I ate, what about you?"

"I'll eat it later."

"Oh, where are you now? When will you be back?"

"If it goes well, the train should be tomorrow night. I was supposed to leave tonight, but I met a small boss from northern Shaanxi, and he said that he would take me to see a batch of good goods tomorrow..."

Ling Chuan twisted his fingers on the phone line, and couldn't help but confide to his daughter-in-law what happened when he picked up the goods today.

This call lasted about 10 minutes.

Although calls are expensive, Ling Chuan feels satisfied and at ease in his heart.

When he returned to the restaurant, everyone was almost finished eating.

"Brother Ling, why don't I order another dish for you. The dishes on this table are all cold. It's so cold, it's easy to get upset after eating."

Ling Chuan originally wanted to eat something, but when he heard Shi Xiu's reminder, he thought that he would have to keep the goods in the middle of the night, so he combined the dishes on the table into a big plate, and then called the waiter.

"Please warm up this dish for me."

Looking at the various leftovers on the plate, the waiter showed a bit of surprise on his face, but he didn't refuse his request.

After a while, a plate of hot leftovers was brought back to the table.

Ling Chuan picked up his chopsticks and started to eat voraciously.

Shi Xiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Brother Ling, you have earned a lot of money in business now, so why are you so picky on yourself?"

Ling Chuan tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, "I have to save money."

"What are you saving money for? It's not like you haven't married a wife."

Ling Chuan took another big mouthful of food before replying, "Daughter-in-law is going to take the college entrance examination next year, so I have to save for her tuition."

Shi Xiu was amused, "There is still half a year left before the college entrance examination, besides, you may not be able to pass the exam for the first time. My natal nephew took the exam for three years before he was admitted to a junior college."

"My daughter-in-law has good grades, she will definitely pass the exam next year."

"Then which school is she going to take?"

"Beijing University."

Shi Xiu was slightly surprised, "Beijing University? Isn't it Capital University?"

"It's Capital University."

Although the people at the table are not well-educated, they are still familiar with the name of Capital University.

"Brother Ling, it's not that easy to get into Beijing University. Just take us from Urumqi, and only one person got into Beijing University this year. Isn't Meizi Yun setting her goal too high?"

"Not high, she has this strength."

Shi Xiu didn't really believe it in her heart. She always felt that for a beautiful and delicate girl like Yunmo, it would be good if she could pass the entrance examination for a technical secondary school teacher.

But seeing the pride and pride on Ling Chuan's face, Shi Xiu didn't want to pour cold water on him, but just responded with a smile: "I didn't expect Yun Meizi to have such lofty ideals, that's okay, I can wait until next year to listen to it." Here's the news, if Meizi Yun does pass the exam, I'll give her a pair of gold ingots as a congratulatory gift!"

Ling Chuan was subconsciously modest, "Sister Shi, you are too polite, there is no need to spend so much money."

"I keep my word, and everyone should be a witness. If Brother Ling and his wife are admitted to Beijing University next year, I will give you a pair of pure gold ingots!"

The driver joked with a smile, "The gold ingots can be big or small, how much does the proprietress plan to send?"

Shi Xiu pointed to the salted peanuts on the table, "Just a pair the size of peanuts."

A piece of pure gold the size of a peanut is worth at least 10 grams. Now that the price of gold is in the early 20s, a gold ingot the size of a meter of peanut costs more than 200 yuan.

Everyone laughed and praised Shi Xiu's grandeur, and the mother-in-law sitting next to Shi Xiu was not happy.

She pushed Shi Xiu angrily, "Look at what you can do, others praise you and forget your surname, why don't you buy me a pair of gold ingots if you have money?"

Being reprimanded by her own mother-in-law in public, Shi Xiu suddenly felt embarrassed.

Ling Chuan hurriedly uttered a voice to save the siege, "Auntie, everyone is joking, just for fun, don't take it seriously."

Others saw that something was wrong, and responded one after another.

"That's right, Beijing University is not so easy to get into. If you can get into Beijing University, in ancient times, it would be the champion."

"That's the reason, if you can get into Beijing University, you have to smoke from your ancestral grave."

Hearing what everyone said, Granny Shi Xiu's face looked better.

After eating and drinking enough, Ling Chuan took out the 110 yuan he had prepared earlier and handed it to Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu looked surprised, "Brother Ling, you are..."

Ling Chuan explained with a sincere expression: "Sister Shi, among the 110 yuan, 10 yuan is the money given to the security guard in the afternoon, and the remaining 100 yuan is my little wish. As agreed before, you can help me find the source of goods, I pay for your hard work."

"You don't need so much, just give me some meaning."

Ling Chuan directly forced the money into the other party's hands, "Sister Shi, this is what it should be. If it weren't for your help, this truckload of goods would not have been shipped out so smoothly. You must accept it. This is also my daughter-in-law. the meaning of."

Hearing this, Shi Xiu didn't refuse anymore, "Okay, then I'll accept it with the cheek. Anyway, if you and Yunmeizi need anything in the future, just come to me, don't be polite."

"Okay." Ling Chuan looked at the sky outside, "It's getting late, Sister Shi, you and your aunt take the child home to rest."

Shi Xiu looked at them, "Then how do you arrange the nights? You have to find a place to rest."

"I'm going to find a hotel nearby."

Shi Xiu thought for a while, and said, "I'll take you there. You don't know, the people here are cheating. Seeing that you are from other places, the price must be doubled."

Ling Chuan couldn't ask for more, nodded gratefully, "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Sister Shi."

"If there's any trouble, let's go. There's one right in front of you. It opened only last year. The rooms are big and new. There's also a free bathhouse on the first floor, but there's an extra charge for taking a bath."

"Row."

It was getting late, and Shi Xiu didn't want the old man and the children to follow suit, so she turned her head and asked her mother-in-law to take the children home to rest first.

"Is there any shame that we can't let us together? Shi Xiu, I warn you, if you dare to mess around outside while my son is not at home, I will be the first to spare you!"

Shi Xiu didn't expect her mother-in-law to misunderstand her kindness, and the public didn't save her face at all, so she was very angry for a while.
