Chapter 308: The Golden Chain
Huo Jianfeng nodded with a dark face: "Hmm." β
He doesn't like to lie, and he doesn't like to hide it like this, but in order not to exacerbate the conflict, he can only do this, so he feels very aggrieved and his face is very ugly.
Seeing Huo Jianfeng nodding, Sister Huo laughed on the side, and said in a weird manner: "Jianfeng, it's not the eldest sister who said you, it's wrong for you to be like this, no one is a fool, who are you blind?" The deerskin antlers of the two deer you shot are gone, and you stole them to sell them, and exchanged those things for Xiao Xiu'er, and said that they were borrowed, which is really interesting, hehe......"
Han Mingxiu also laughed and said, "Eldest sister, you may have some misunderstanding about deer skin and deer antlers, right?" Do you think that the deerskin antler velvet of two deer will be worth that old money and can be exchanged for a sewing machine radio? If it can be worth the old money, no one needs to work in the field, just go up the mountain to hunt deer, I suggest you, before expressing your opinion, it is better to inquire about the situation clearly, just like these two deer, you first go and inquire about how much the deer skin and antler velvet are worth before speaking, otherwise you will laugh to death when you say it......"
As soon as she ridiculed like this, Sister Huo's face suddenly turned ashamed, but she was unwilling to be put out by a new brother and daughter-in-law, so she said-for-tat:
"Even if the deerskin antler velvet is not worth that money, Jianfeng's salary is a lot every month, right? He only gets five dollars a month at home, and who knows if he has secretly saved up all that salary for you? β
Han Mingxiu said: "There are also soldiers in our tun, why don't you go and ask how much a deputy company commander can earn in a month before talking?" Let me tell you the truth, he earns more than 20 yuan a month, and he went to mail five yuan to his aunt and aunt, and he can't afford to spend the rest himself, what else can I give? β
"Besides, it's just that he occasionally gives me cloth and candy, isn't that what it should be? Isn't it reasonable for gay men and lesbians to get along, and gay men to buy gifts for lesbians? This is also worth picking on the eldest sister? Could it be that when you got along with my eldest brother-in-law, they didn't give you anything, so you went with them? Isn't it possible? How can there be such a cheap woman in this world! β
Sister Huo asked her to say that her face turned red, she didn't just go with her man without asking for anything, but she was not cheap!
"Also, Jianfeng is now living with the uncle and aunt, it stands to reason that the bride price given to me should have been given by the uncle and aunt, but Jianfeng is filial and reluctant to pay for the uncle's aunt, so he braved the cold and risked his life to go into the mountains to hunt for me, but I listen to the eldest sister, why do you seem to blame Jianfeng? Could it be that he made the wrong way to pay the bride price for the uncle and aunt? This money should be given to me by the uncle and aunt, right? β
Han Mingxiu asked like a gun, not only picking up the matter of Huo Jianfeng stealing a small share, but also shaking out the fact that the Huo family did not prepare a bride price for her.
Sister Huo was at a loss, and she was drained by Han Mingxiu's words, and Han Mingxiu explained it, and there is a reason, Huo Jianfeng didn't save a small share, and those deer skin antlers couldn't be sold for such a big price, it seems that what they said is true......
As soon as Aunt Huo heard what Han Mingxiu said was reasonable, she also believed Han Mingxiu's words in her heart.
She said, Huo Jianfeng is a broken soldier, how can he buy a sewing machine and tape recorder with all the old money, and he borrowed it for a long time to fill the faΓ§ade, it's ridiculous!
Thinking about it this way, she was less angry.
However, when he thought that Han Mingxiu still had a hundred yuan in his hand, the greed in his heart was ready to move again.
"And what about a hundred dollars?" Aunt Huo asked.
At this moment, she was sitting precariously, putting on the shelf of the mother-in-law in charge, but her tone revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.
When Han Mingxiu heard that she was even worried about the hundred yuan? almost smacked her face at the time, but fortunately, she was a person who had lived two lifetimes and could calm down. After taking a breath, he said unhurriedly, "It's spent." β
"Huh? Spent? Where did you spend that old money? β
As soon as Aunt Huo heard Han Mingxiu say that she had spent the 100 yuan bride price, her voice suddenly rose several degrees, and she couldn't maintain the high-minded expression just now.
Han Mingxiu dug out of his pocket and pulled out a sweater chain studded with rhinestones.
This, but she spent fifteen yuan in her last life to find it on a certain treasure, made of alloy, holding a heavy one, and it looks like gold.
At the bottom of the thick chain is a teardrop-shaped accessory, and in the center is a large faux glass bead surrounded by many rhinestones.
At that time, when she saw this chain on the Internet, she thought it was very beautiful, but when she bought it back, her colleagues said that it was too tun, and she wore it like a nouveau riche, so she put it there casually and never brought it again.
Unexpectedly, now it comes in handy!
Aunt Huo and her daughters immediately straightened their eyes when they saw the 'golden chain'.
In this era, there is no such mature alloy technology, and in their eyes, this chain is pure gold, 100% pure gold!
A few greedy eyes shot nakedly, Aunt Huo's gaze was particularly hot, and she forced herself to calm down: "Can you buy such a thing for a hundred yuan?" If you don't eat or drink, you dare to spend money too much. β
Han Mingxiu shook the big golden chain, and said seriously: "Auntie, this is gold, the pendant below is inlaid with diamonds and gemstones, you can't buy it for a hundred yuan, it costs three hundred yuan, I took out all my savings and borrowed more than a hundred yuan to buy it." β
"Huh? So expensive? β
Aunt Huo looked at the big gold chain, and when she heard the price, her eyes became more intense and hot.
Han Mingxiu said: "This chain was copied by the people of the Revolutionary Committee from the landlord and the old rich man, and he didn't dare to sell it on the market, if he dared to sell it on the market, it would cost more than five hundred yuan, and I also bought it cheaply through the talent I found through my aunt, and it was not expensive at all." β
"Really? Bring it to me and show it. Aunt Huo couldn't hold the shelf anymore, and leaned over and stretched out her big paws towards Han Mingxiu.
Han Mingxiu carefully put the sweater chain in Aunt Huo's hand, as if the sweater chain was precious.
Aunt Huo took the sweater chain and looked at it carefully.
To be honest, the workmanship of this sweater chain is not good. However, the manufacturing technology of this era is not as developed as in later generations, and this poorly made sweater chain is not good in Han Ming's eyes, but in the eyes of Aunt Huo, it is already a peerless treasure of ingenuity.
Look at the gold, the gold, the heavy, there must be several taels, and the gems below......
Tsk, my eyes hurt so much!
Aunt Huo sighed in her heart while watching.
She is a native of the countryside, a serious eight-hundred-generation poor peasant, who has never seen gold and precious stones in her life, and has heard the older generation say how shiny gold is and how dazzling gems are.
Now seeing the chain in her hand, she suddenly remembered the words of the older generation, and her heart was completely subdued by this golden chain at once.
Oh my God, what a beautiful chain!
As a woman, if you can have such a chain in this life, it is worth dying!
The more Aunt Huo watched it, the more she loved it, and she couldn't put it down.
Several of her daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters also came around, scrambling to take a look at the chain, but they were all scolded by Aunt Huo not loudly.
"Go up there, you rough hands, how did you polish the gold for me?"
"Don't move, don't dare to move again, don't say I'll let you beat you......"
She chased away a few juniors who were going to get started like flies.
This chain can only be seen, not touched, or can only be touched by herself, and others are not qualified to touch it. It was clear that she had come to consider the necklace to be her treasure.
Huo Jianfeng saw that her eldest mother was holding the chain and looking at it over and over, and she didn't mean to return it to Han Mingxiu at all. With a calm face, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and said:
"Auntie, have you finished reading it? After reading it, you can return it to us. β
Aunt Huo froze, and a pair of claws subconsciously tightened the chain.
How is it possible to return it to them? She was going to embezzle even a little venison, how could she let go of this big golden chain?
It's impossible to let it go!
