How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s

The Qin family house was brilliantly lit, with Old Mrs. Qin sitting at the desk, wearing reading glasses and cutting fabric. Hearing the sound of the door opening from outside, she looked up with a smile, "You’re back, how did the sales go?"

"Sold everything, the sales were fifty-eight yuan and nine!" Li Qiao couldn’t wait to report the numbers.

"Sales?" Old Mrs. Qin’s eyes twinkled with laughter, a bright light in her gaze, "Impressive! Your neighbor and I made 36 dresses, using up five rolls of fabric. We have 550 rolls in the house, and if we sell them all, excluding costs, we expect to make over five thousand. We’re getting rich!"

Li Qiao took the opportunity to say, "When the time comes, I want to buy a big house. A few days ago, the landlord came to collect the rent with several people, looking around everywhere, even wanting to enter the house. When he left, he brought up raising the rent. Otherwise, he’d rent the house to someone else. I suspect those people came to inspect the house for renting purposes. It was so annoying." She had always wanted to buy one, and Qin Jin disagreed. He was equally irritating.

"Black and white on paper..."

Qin Jin stressed the contract, only to be interrupted by Old Mrs. Qin:

"Now that we have business, we’re most afraid of others causing trouble; it’s indeed better to move out sooner. On the day of your wedding banquet, Sir Xue came specially to my door, introducing a large courtyard for sale in front of the family compound, for twenty-five hundred. I said we had no money, but he mentioned Qiaoqiao has earned scholarships and from translating and publishing books, she must have saved quite a bit. It’s the same if she buys it, and it’s suitable. When you just mentioned it, I’ve been thinking about the issue. Didn’t Qiaoqiao move her household registration over? When the time comes, we’ll ask Sir Xue to transfer her registration to that house."

Li Qiao: "Sure, if Sir Xue recommends it, there’s no mistake. My registration is fine at the school. Let’s transfer Jin’s, having a city registration means getting food rations."

"If you buy it, of course, you’ll be the householder," Old Mrs. Qin said.

Li Qiao: "I won’t be, let Jin do it. In the event of a divorce, I’d still have to split my money with him. There’s no difference between buying a house with him as the householder and him being it. Plus, he can collect food rations after moving in, which is great."

And her future workplace would provide housing, right?
