Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 588
The mother-in-law of the Zheng family also understood this fact, so she wanted to find a girl who was younger than him that was energetic and capable. Basically, she wanted someone who liked his appearance to raise him.
Lin Mei was willing to go on a date with him because the Zheng family was well off and the two elders were capable and seemingly very open-minded.
After getting married, the elders were also very kind to Lin Mei. They made her the head of the house as soon as she arrived. Old Lady Zheng was also good at helping look after the children and doing housework.
That way, Lin Mei could concentrate on going to the fields to earn work points.
However, Lin Mei was not satisfied with this. She felt that there was nothing much she could do by just earning work points, so she came up with other ideas.
Their village had grown a lot of cotton since ancient times and most of the families have old-fashioned looms, so she started weaving and selling fabrics with her mother-in-law.
It was difficult at the beginning and she had to be sneaky about it, but gradually she made a name for herself and became a small opportunistic leader, leading some braver women in the village to do the same.
She was caught several times in the process. Her man was useless, but her mother-in-law was so powerful that she always managed to bring her back.
From then on, she became famous to the point where sometimes, the Public Security Bureau turned a blind eye towards her actions. Afterwards, the policies became more relaxed and she became more comfortable with it.
At this moment, the entire Shanshui Commune has her go about with her ‘business’ and with her connections to Han Qingsong, the Marketing Management Personnel didn’t pay much attention to her.
She also appreciated it and was actually grateful for that, so she often sent her boys to give Lin Lan small gifts.
During the exchange of pleasantries, Lin Mei even teased Han Qingsong to test him.
Han Qingsong said, “We are only responsible for catching criminals; those who have businesses are not under our jurisdiction.”
Those doing business were under the control of the Marketing Management Personnel, not the Public Security Bureau. Although the Revolutionary Committee wanted them to help, Han Qingsong declined.
His reason was because, ‘such speculations were actually contradictions among the villagers, but I only care about the contradiction between the people and the enemies.’
Lin Mei was very happy and proud to see Lin Lan wearing the scarf she made, “Look, the scarf I knitted for Lan Huahua looks good, doesn’t it?”
Everyone around them commented that it looked great while also adding a few remarks of when they’d be getting their own.
Lin Mei smiled and said, “Let me save up to make one for my mother first. Although you are all sisters to me, none of you fought with me in one stomach. I’ve been brawling with Lan Huahua in our mother’s stomach before we were even born, so you see, there are revolutionary feelings attached, ya know?”
Everyone laughed at her reasoning and asked her to talk about the thrilling stories of being chased by enforcement when she got caught.
Although Lin Mei was not as good at talking nonsense as Liu Chuncai, they were practically the same— always getting very into what they were saying.
Obviously, it should have been anything more than running around the alley and the village, but her words made it sound like it was an interesting battle in the frontlines of a warzone.
