Strict Wife Of The ’70s Manages The Household - Chapter 725
The same went for doing laundry. Everyone else was using alkaline water to wash their clothes, so why on Earth did she have to be the only one using soap? It was to show off that she’s rich, of course! And to flaunt that her man was none other than the Director!
Lin Lan was too different from them, so they thought that it was wrong for her to appear in front of them like that. At this point, they were more than convinced that she was just showing off her wealth and teasing them for being old and incapable.
Because these people didn’t usually interact with Lin Lan much, they had no problem isolating her now. Therefore, several of the women deliberately laughed loudly and ignored Lin Lan.
Lin Lan, are you naive? I don’t care.
Several women wanted to isolate Lin Lan to make her feel lonely, but they soon found out that she was having a lively conversation with her sons and daughter. It appeared that they couldn’t care less that they have been isolated, more so they didn’t even notice. Simply put, the women felt even more resentful at that.
Others wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and said they wanted to borrow Lin Lan’s soap, “I also have this soap at home, but I just finished using it and I haven’t the time to buy more. I’ve run out of soda ash as well. Give me the soap and I’ll give it a try— if it’s nice, I might get a few pieces of it myself.”
Her tone made it seem like it would be a good and just thing for Lin Lan to hand her the soap.
Sanwang, “My mother bought a lot of them, so we can sell you a piece. We’re not going to consider the transportation fee, so we’ll sell it to you for 32 cents. Consider it a gesture of help.”
The woman had already started to reach for the soap, but when Sanwang said this out loud, her facial expressions dimmed, “Aiya, isn’t this a speculative sale? I wouldn’t dare to, seeing as how I might be detained in the labour farms for reformation.”
Erwang said, “That’s not right— speculative sale means buying goods at a low price and shipping them at a high price to make profits. We bought this at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so how can it be considered a speculative sale when we’re offering to sell it at its original price? Who else would be nice enough to not count the transport fee and do this for you?” These women have lived their entire lives in and around Shanzui Village, so there was never an opportunity to venture into the County Town.
The woman who wanted to take advantage of Lin Lan just stepped back, curled her lips and ignored her altogether. She felt that with her reputation as a shrew and a lazy wife, there was nothing special about her besides her good looks and her ability to use her words to coax the cadres of the Commune.
Because when it comes to speculative sales, several women started chatting, “My maternal uncle’s house had been selling some things secretly. I heard that it can’t be done now since the control is strict. After getting caught twice, everything was confiscated. Plus, if he were to be caught reselling items again, he would be placed in reformation camp.”
“Yes, I heard that too. Some even said that a few people were shot.”
The matter of speculative sale was under the control of the Commune Revolutionary Committee, not Han Qingsong and the Public Security Bureau. That would explain why Lin Lan didn’t hear anything from him.
