Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1724: Everyone Knows 1

After marrying Gu Qing, Shen Xiufen’s temper has always been quite fierce, which is very inconsistent with her gentle and refined appearance. Seeing that Gu Qing hasn’t brought any money and ignores her, leaving her embarrassed in front of her parents and brothers, she instantly becomes furious and doesn’t even serve him dinner. Instead, she vigorously piles stir-fried sea snail meat into her brother’s bowl. Over half of the sea snail meat ends up in her brother’s stomach, with a small portion given to her favorite nephew, leaving her sister-in-law and two nieces at the table without even a shell.

As for her parents in the Shen family, anything delicious is always prioritized for the son. Shen Xiufen puts her brother first in everything, naturally not eating the best dish of the dinner.

Today, Shen Xiufen bought fish, and to satisfy her brother’s craving, she braised all of it for lunch, leaving only the sea snails to be dealt with all afternoon.

Watching their son Shen Xiushan gobbling down his food, the Shen parents smile with satisfaction, not forgetting to remind him to eat slowly.

After finishing, Shen Xiushan wipes his mouth and turns to Shen Xiufen, saying, "I want meat, braised meat."

How could sea snail meat compare to braised meat? It’s still his sister’s fault for being useless, unable to let him eat meat every day. The promised Rolex didn’t even show a shadow after several days, truly infuriating him.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiushan gives Shen Xiufen a hard glare.

Upon seeing her brother’s expression, Shen Xiufen’s attitude softens immediately, a far cry from her demeanor towards her husband, "I’ll go to the grocery store first thing in the morning to buy meat, get some first-grade pork belly, and stew a big bowl of meat for you."

She still has a pound of meat tickets, a whole pound.

Shen Xiushan’s expression relaxes a bit, finally somewhat satisfied, and then he says, "What about the Rolex? Where’s the Rolex you said you’d buy me? You have three days to get it. I’ve already told my colleagues that I’ll definitely get the most expensive Rolex to show off, much better than their IWCs, Dita Von Teeses, Midea Van Der Rohe, Miyota Shanghai, gemstone flowers!"

Shen Xiufen immediately agrees, "Don’t worry, whatever you want I’ll get for you! Once I buy the meat tomorrow, I’ll go ask that old hag for money. She only has Gu Qing as a son, with one foot already in the grave—if she doesn’t give the money to us, who else could she give it to?"

Hearing this, the parents and Shen Xiushan’s couple from the Shen family all express their immense joy, full of satisfaction with Shen Xiufen.

Mother Shen is even more full of praise for her daughter’s actions, "Now that’s the way it should be. Your brother is the foundation of our family, our future. How can you call yourself a sister if you don’t look after your brother a bit more? The money in the hands of the Gu family’s old matron, sooner or later, should be given to you. The sooner you get it, the sooner your brother can buy a Rolex and have some face among his colleagues."

After a whole day of washing clothes for her parents and brothers and cooking a big family meal, Shen Xiufen, hearing her mother’s satisfaction, instantly throws away that bit of fatigue to the winds, feeling energized. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Early the next morning, Shen Xiufen heads straight for the grocery factory.

No different from usual, a long line has already formed in front of the meat counter. The weather is hot, the spacious bungalow filled with a mix of various grocery smells and everyone’s sweat, very unpleasant.

Shen Xiufen cranes her neck to look at the customers standing in line ahead, calculating the speed of the pork sales, worried that there won’t be any first-grade meat by the time it’s her turn. She can’t help but feel anxious, wanting to cut in line to buy a piece of pork belly right away, but she’s afraid of provoking everyone’s anger as the first few in line are from families no less prestiged than the Gu Family.

At the root of it, it’s still Gu Qing’s fault for being useless. He’s already forty and still just a regiment commander, while that Feng Qingxue, who protects and frequently visits Doctor Guo’s house, became a corps commander before turning forty!
