Chapter 179 - 178: Uncle’s Family
"Xiao Wan is thoughtful. How is that family treating her?" Little Grandmother asked with emotion.
"They’re treating her quite well. He is an officer, living with Grandma. They have a private house and yard. Life is comfortable, and now Xiao Wan has started evening university." Lin Yinghui didn’t say much about Han Yi’s family situation to avoid Grandma and Uncle worrying.
"Oh, why did she marry a soldier?"
Lin Yinghui understood Little Grandmother’s thoughts. His mom had stayed loyal to his dad for all these years, finally pulling through, and now his sister married a soldier; they would hardly see each other in a year, which means she’s following Mom’s old path again.
"Anyway, he’s a city dweller. As long as he’s good to our Xiao Wan, that’s all that matters. Now people in the village know that sister’s family is doing well, her son has gone to college and can earn money outside. Even when I and your uncle go out, people look at us with new respect." Nowadays, the gap between city folks and countryside folks is quite large; many city dwellers don’t think much of countryside people, while those from the countryside are desperate to become city dwellers.
Xiao Wan marrying a city person, to put it bluntly, is a prestigious affair. Who wouldn’t envy that?
"Aunt’s right, as long as we have money, see who dares to look down on us. Uncle, Ah Zhi, I’ve prepared 500 kilograms of vermicelli for you. It’s all yours now. Two yuan per kilo. It’s close to the new year, sure to sell well. Once sold, Uncle can just return the capital at 1.5 yuan per kilo."
"Ah Hui, is that true?" Liang Zhi was elated upon hearing this.
"Furthermore, I’m planning to gather some local specialties to take over and resell."
"Alright, Ah Hui, if you’re confident, leave the household matters to me. I’ll certainly sell the goods." Liang Zhi promised enthusiastically.
