80s Wife Is Sweet and Sassy

Chapter 147 – The resentment may fade (2)

Gu Ye saw Chu Qiao’s awkwardness, and didn’t know what conflicts she had with her uncle. However, he could tell that Chu Qiao still had her uncle in her mind.

So he took out his wallet from his pocket, then he took three great unity backnotes, and gave them to Sun Yinguang. 

-The great unity banknote

“I came here in a hurry and didn’t buy anything. Uncle can take this money and buy whatever you want to eat.” 

Sun Yinguang was shocked and refused to take it, “It doesn’t cost much to live in the countryside. But there are many places in the city that cost money, you even have to spend money when you want to drink some water and eat a green onion. Just take the money back, and be good to Qiao Qiao. She…… She has suffered a lot and hasn’t had a good life.” 

Speaking of this, Sun Yinguang’s voice choked up, and he looked at his niece with guilt. He felt incompetent as her uncle. He couldn’t stop his older sister from abusing his niece, and he couldn’t stop his wife from selling his niece for money. How could he have the face to spend the money of his nephew-in-law. 

“I will definitely treat Qiao Qiao well. Uncle, you can just accept the money.” 

Gu Ye fully assured him, Chu Qiao was just like his life. So how could it be possible for him to treat his life badly? 

The two of them were pushing each other. Chu Qiao, who saw them like that, became impatient and said coldly, “He gave it to you, so you can just accept it. Don’t give it to your wife. You can use it for yourself.” 

She would never forgive Zhang Guifang in this life. 

Sun Yinguang’s hand trembled and obediently accepted the thirty yuan. He turned around to wipe the corners of his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable. He secretly hid the money and kept it from his wife.

Later when his niece and the others came back, he would take it out to buy good wine and good dishes to entertain them, so that it wouldn’t be too embarrasing. 

“I am leaving.”

Chu Qiao turned around and left. Gu Ye smiled at Sun Yinguang and enthusiastically said, “Uncle, Qiao Qiao and I will return to the city. We will come to see you again in the future!” 

“Be careful on the road and have a good life ah!” 

Sun Yinguang waved his hand and watched as the two of them walked away until they could no longer be seen. He let out a long sigh and lowered his head to see the three brand-new banknotes in his hand. He had mixed feelings and his eyes turned red again. 

After clearing all the weeds around the graveyard, Sun Yinguang returned home with a hoe on his shoulder, and met several villagers on the way. 

“Yinguang, has your niece brought her back with her boyfriend? I haven’t seen Qiao Qiao for a long time!” 

The news of Chu Qiao coming back with a handsome boyfriend soon spread throughout the village. Many people wanted to come and see how Chu Qiao was doing now after five years of not seeing her. 

“She still has to go to work tomorrow, so she has already gone to catch the train. Qiao Qiao is living quite well now. Her boyfriend is also quite good, and he treats Qiao Qiao well.” Sun Yinguang smiled honestly, and responded one by one. 

“She didn’t have a meal and already went back. I haven’t seen Qiao Qiao for a long time. She has become more beautiful, right?” The villagers felt a bit regretful, as they didn’t even see her. 

“My niece is definitely beautiful, and her boyfriend is also good-looking. She will come back again in the future.” 

Sun Yinguang’s footsteps became lighter, and his mood improved a lot. The big stone that had been pressing in his heart for six years finally lifted, and he felt so relaxed. 

However, as soon as he got home, he saw Zhang Guifang with a gloomy face, and his good mood immediately disappeared. The stove was cold, and the food had not cooked. 

Zhang Guifang became even angrier when she didn’t see Chu Qiao come back. Originally, she was still preparing to cook, but now she was not in the mood to cook. This family didn’t have money to buy oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. How can she cook a meal?

Sun Yinguang was too lazy to quarrel with her. He went to wash the rice and cook on his own. He would definitely not take out the thirty yuan.

“In which part of the city does that damn girl live? Isn’t she going to get married? She has to invite us to attend her wedding.” Zhang Guifang asked in a sharp voice. 

“What wedding? Are you not working in the field?” 

Sun Yinguang glanced coldly, he took out a bowl of Meigan cai that had been steamed for several times from the cabinet, put it into the pot, and started to light the fire.

He had a simple lunch and went to work in the field in the afternoon. He had no intention of going to his niece’s wedding reception, and Zhang Guifang was not allowed to go there either.

-A bundle of Meigan Cai (梅干菜)
A type of dry pickled chinese mustard. The pickle consists of a whole head of various varieties of chinese mustards and cabbages that has undergone an elaborate process consisting of drying, steaming, and salting. The vegetables are harvested, trimmed before the Qingming Festival, and sun-dried until limp. It is then salted or brined, kneaded until the juices are exuded, and left to ferment in large clay urns for 15 to 20 days. The vegetable is then repeatedly steamed and dried until reddish brown in color and highly fragrant.

Where did she have that kind of self-confidence!
