Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 719
While the two were talking, they met some female nurses from last time. One of them looked at Lin Lan a little unkindly.
Yang Han ignored her and gestured to follow her to his office. After going to his office, he took out a package and stuffed it quietly into her backpack, “Don’t say that I’m not being a good brother, alright?”
Lin Lan, “…” Except for Han Qingsong, I’m very thick-skinned with everyone else! I’m not going to be embarrassed!
Yang Han patted her on the shoulder and said in a serious tone befitting of a senior doctor, “It’s fine, we have nothing to do with each other, so there’s no need to be embarrassed. Though, you two are not getting any younger, so do take care of your health.” After saying this, he smiled.
Lin Lan gave him a slap on the ribs and said, “Are you trying to be a wiseman? You’re the one who doesn’t have the right to say this kind of stuff, unmarried man.”
Yang Han responded with a short laugh.
Looking at the time, Yang Han invited her to have a meal. After that, Lin Lan left the hospital and went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative without delaying his work any longer.
Because she came over so often, everyone pretty much knew her.
She bought 4 bars of soap at once and the salespeople looked at her like she was an alien. They couldn’t help but whisper that she was flaunting her richness, though none of them ever suspected that she was trying to bulk buy for speculative or profiteering sales(3). After all, soap was expensive and you couldn’t really sell them for anything more than 32 cents per bar, so it must be due to personal uses.
(T/N: Trying to explain this as simply as I can understand— speculative sale is when you buy an asset in hopes that its price would increase in the near future so you can sell it. Profiteering is selling essential assets at an unfairly high price when stocks are low)
Supplies were tight and money was hard to come by as of now. The salary of urban residents was about 20 or 30 Yuan a month, which included all expenses such as buying grains, oil, vegetables, meat, eggs, toilet paper, coal and some more. A bar of soap needed to be cut into quarters with nylon rope before it was sold for 8 cents per small piece. Even those in the city would buy one piece of it per month. Many families, some amounting to a total of 7 or 8 members in the family, would rely on this one piece in a month and was still sufficient.
But here, a woman from the countryside was actually buying so much!
Lin Lan naturally wouldn’t explain anything to anyone. Plus, she was actually rather heartbroken. The soap was of poor quality and was still expensive, but there was no better substitute, so there was no choice than to proceed.
Lin Lan was complaining a lot internally, but she had a calm and wealthy look on her face, which amazed the salesmen.
It was already half past one after she left the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Lin Lan walked around to get acquainted with the County town. She didn’t see any pianos for sale, so she probably had to go to a big city to buy one. Not having any money now, it wasn’t something that she wanted to do immediately. At the very least, she would wait until Xiaowang’s eyes were treated first.
