Cannon Fodder Battle Chapter 1109: Horrible stereotypes (13)
The fare of this kind of long-distance passenger transport is not fixed by the transportation company, but is changed by the shareholders who contract the long-distance. Therefore, the face price is 560, which is the fare during the Spring Festival travel, winter and summer vacations.
"Recently there is a discount on the ticket, so my salary is just enough to buy the ticket, but there is no extra money. I heard from the conductor that I have to take the bus for three days and two nights to the coast. How will I eat then? I heard that along the way You can eat restaurants with the driver and conductor, and you can pay 10 yuan for a meal, but I have no money." Tong Xinlan lowered her head dejectedly.
No one knows the exact price of the long-distance bus ticket. Seeing Tong Xinlan's performance, Wen Guizhen did not expect that Tong Xinlan was lying to her, so she returned the ticket to Tong Xinlan with some heartache.
Speaking in advance intercepted the granddaughter's possible request for money, and said, "Make some steamed buns in advance and bring them with you. It's no problem to store the steamed buns for two or three days. When your mother went out to work, she brought steamed buns."
"But the weather is quite hot recently, will it be bad?" Tong Xinlan continued to test her grandmother's conscience.
"How can we country people be so particular about it? In the past, we didn't even have to eat grass roots in natural disasters. If you gave me a rotten steamed bun at that time, I would be thankful. It's okay for young people to suffer more when they are young. Now they eat steamed buns. , you can eat delicacies from mountains and seas in the future."
After blocking Tong Xinlan's temptation with one sentence, Wen Guizhen urged again, "By the way, hide the ticket well, so as not to be touched by the black old shell in the village and refund the ticket for money. Then you will have worked for nothing for a month." Already."
"Good grandma."
Tong Xinlan thought that she had deceived Wen Guizhen in this way, but at night when Tong Xinlan was sleeping, Wen Guizhen sneaked into her room.
Tong Xinlan is very sensitive, she opened her eyes when Wen Guizhen came in.
Through a slit in her eyes, Tong Xinlan saw that the old woman searched through the bag of clothes and trousers that Tong Xinlan had taken off, as well as the schoolbag that had been filled with clothes.
Unable to find what she was looking for, Wen Guizhen came to the bed again, turned under the pillow and at the foot of the bed.
Wen Guizhen glanced at her sleeping granddaughter, turned and left, and returned to her own room.
Then, Tong Xinlan heard her grandfather whispering to her grandmother, "How is it?"
Wen Guizhen said in a disappointed tone, "Are you still worried about her hiding money? Where does she have such a brain."
The voice of grandfather Zhou Shancai was surprised and contemptuous, "Is it really only 400 a month? It's not as high as her mother's salary for a month's work more than ten years ago. She is just like her father. .”
"Do you think we promised her to go out to work, or listen to Zheng Shufen and find her a man to marry? She is yellow and thin, as thin as a monkey, and not half as beautiful as a girl. Will she be hired by the factory if she goes out to work? Don't be like Qiu Like my son, he borrowed a sum of money to buy a bus ticket when he ran to the coast and couldn’t make any money, which was not only embarrassing but also expensive.” Grandpa stopped here and took a puff of Leaf cigarettes.
Then continued, "Now that we have refunded her ticket and deducted the handling fee, we can still keep more than 300 yuan. We have nothing to lose. Let her continue to work in the county, and then ask Zheng Shufen to continue looking for her in other villages. The man who doesn't know our family's situation, during this time, we can also get 400 yuan a month, and when she gets married, we can receive a few thousand yuan as a dowry."
What this means is that the 400 yuan salary is actually not a penny for Su Xinlan to spend. After all, Su Xinlan is also a girl, so there must be some expenses. It's just that Su Xinlan's nutrition is not good enough, so every girl That month hasn't come yet, but I still have to keep some money on me.
Hearing that Zhou Shancai mentioned Zheng Shufen, Wen Guizhen didn't scold anyone. Tong Xinlan knew that during the month she was away, these two unscrupulous old women must have reached an agreement to work together.
Later on, Tong Xinlan heard Wen Guizhen say, "Just listen to Zheng Shufen's words. People from other places don't know about our family's situation, but they can only get four or five thousand at most. But my son goes to the coast to work. As soon as you can enter the factory, you can call us back one or two thousand a month, and it will be higher than the dowry in four to five months."
"Think about it, let her work for a year, we can save more than 10,000 yuan, and we can save tens of thousands of dollars in the years before her family. Although she is not as good-looking as a daughter, but You can see that this month working in a restaurant has eaten well, her body has become rounder, she looks a little bit better, and she is not so thin. Besides, she goes out to work in a garment factory. That kind of factory does not require physical strength. If she is thin, she doesn't want it."
"Don't be afraid of her running back. In the past two days, we'll treat her better, cry poor in front of her, pretend to be sad, and talk about how hard it was to take her before, and make sure it's hard for her to be outside. None will come back.”
Zhou Shancai thinks his wife's proposal is great, "It's better for you to understand her, well, let her go out and see if she can make money first, if she can't stand the hardship and borrow money to come back, we will find Zheng Shufen to find her a husband's house, When the time comes, just ask for more dowry gifts, and we can still share half of the introduction fee with Zheng Shufen."
Zhou Shancai's idea is that both parties have made money, so if this calculation is done, the couple will never lose money.
After the two discussed it properly, they went to sleep, but they didn't know that Tong Xinlan heard their words clearly.
Su Xinlan didn't hear the conversation between her grandparents in her last life. If she did, she probably wouldn't have the ending.
Su Xinlan worked for a month, and she was able to go home with great difficulty. Although the countryside is tiring, but it is not the time when the farming season is busy, and there is not so much work. Relatively speaking, it is more tiring to work in a restaurant~IndoMTL.com~So At night, Su Xinlan slept soundly, how could she know that Wen Guizhen went into her room to turn over the money?
Su Xinlan doesn't have Tong Xinlan's hearing ability either.
These old couple are really shameless, they plotted against their granddaughter so thoroughly. Fortunately, Su Xinlan gritted her teeth and made money outside in her previous life and did not come back. Otherwise, these two couples would probably find Zheng Shufen to marry Su Xinlan early. go out.
"Don't be unhappy, the host. People like this are thieves. It's not worth being angry with them. They have nothing to respect. I really don't understand you humans, no matter whether these old people are good or bad. It's so stupid to ask what it means to respect."
"Well, yes, Xiaoyi is right, we humans are too ignorant."
Because it will take three days to leave, so for the remaining two days, Tong Xinlan also plans to continue to do some work at home like Su Xinlan in her previous life.
When Tong Xinlan went out to cut grass for the rabbits raised at home, she met Uncle Xie from the village passing by carrying a hoe.
