Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

Today is the first month of the lunar year, and we are here to wish our parents a happy new year. You just happened to come here to entertain them with your colorful clothes. If others knew about this, they would definitely praise your filial piety!"

"Only you can talk."

Song Lan's embarrassment dissipated a lot.

"I'm just telling the truth. After all, my feelings towards you, my wife, are evident to all!"

Qin Yanzheng smiled at the person beside him, the tenderness in his eyes almost turned into water.

But unfortunately, Song Lan looked forward and did not see it.

The first stop for the two was Uncle Song's house. They greeted the elders as soon as they entered the door. Then Uncle Song's grandson came to her and Qin Yanzheng shyly and wished them a happy new year. Out of the joy of the New Year, Song Lan naturally gave out red envelopes.

When she and Qin Yanzheng left Uncle Song's house, both Grandma Song and Uncle Song gave them red envelopes.

Song Lan refused.

Qin Yanzheng is the same.

They know that people in the country live a hard life. Even if it is for the joy of New Year, as adults, how can they accept red envelopes given by their elders?

But Grandma Song and Uncle Song insisted on giving it to me. If I didn't accept it, Grandma Song would glare at me with an angry look.

Song Lan knew that she was just pretending to be angry, but it would not be good for her and Qin Yanzheng to keep refusing like this.

Maybe the elders would think that they looked down on their poor relatives from the countryside and disliked the small amount of money in their red envelopes.

Thinking of this, Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng finally accepted the red envelopes. When they arrived at Uncle Song's house, they wished New Year's greetings to Uncle Song and his wife. When they were about to leave, the same situation occurred as at Uncle Song's house.

Out of desperation, he had to accept the red envelope given by Uncle Song and his wife.

Of course, when the grandchildren of Uncle Song II came to wish them a happy new year, Song Lan also gave them red envelopes, together with Qin Yanzheng's.

"We just accepted the red envelopes from our uncle and second uncle. Will our parents-in-law say we are ignorant when we go back?"

Coming out of Uncle Song's house, Qin Yanzheng suddenly said something. Hearing this, Song Lan smiled at the man and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that we are the younger generation going to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. It is normal for the elders to give us red envelopes. But you are the new son-in-law, whether in the city or in our countryside, the elders of the woman's family must give you red envelopes.

Besides, we also gave red envelopes to the grandchildren of my eldest uncle and second uncle today. I stuffed ten dimes into each red envelope. My eldest uncle has two grandchildren, so I gave out four red envelopes, including yours. My second uncle has one grandchild.

Even if he only received the red envelopes from us, the money inside added up to two yuan, and my second uncle and his family would be very happy when they open the red envelopes from their grandsons. "

Nowadays, let alone the red envelopes given to children by country folks during the Chinese New Year, most of them only give one or two cents, or five or ten cents. Even ordinary families in the city don't give much in red envelopes to their children.

It may be more than one or two cents, but those who give fifty cents or one dollar are definitely only a minority.

Having said that, for those who come from well-off families, it is naturally a different matter.

"Then how much did grandma and uncle give us in red envelopes?"

Qin Yanzheng asked with a smile.

"It's a token of my thought, but my grandma and my uncles are quite particular, so I think it should be no less than five cents."

The monthly salary of ordinary workers is usually between 20 and 30 yuan.

The current prices:

Rice costs about 0 yuan per catty.

Pork costs about 0.78 yuan per pound.

Eggs cost about 0.48 yuan per pound.

White flour costs about 0.18 yuan per pound.

Coarse grains cost about 0.1 yuan per pound.

Vegetables cost 0.05 to 0.2 yuan per catty.

……

This shows how valuable money is and how low prices are.

But even so, for the country people, it is not easy to earn a few cents, and they even want to spend every penny carefully.

After all, we rely on work points to earn money and food.

In production teams with good conditions, one work point might be worth one or two cents, but in many production teams one work point was only two or three cents. Even if one earned ten work points after a day's work, that would be two or three cents in money.

Therefore, Song Lan believed that the one yuan she put in the red envelope was definitely not a small amount in the eyes of Grandma Song, Uncle Song, and Uncle Song II. At the same time, she felt that the red envelopes that Grandma Song and others gave to her and Qin Yanzheng, even if they only put two or three cents, were a sign of their great sincerity.

The reason is simply that she has a job and it is much easier for her to earn money than for the elders in the family who rely on work points.

——Take Song Lan’s current monthly salary as an example, the basic salary is 68 yuan.

"Take these red envelopes."

Qin Yanzheng casually took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them into Song Lan's hand, saying, "You can give them to your mother-in-law as pocket money."

"Give my mom some pocket money, that's all?"

Song Lan held the red envelope in her hand and raised her eyebrows at Qin Yanzheng.

"You are the head of our family. I hand over all my monthly salary to you. You can give your mother-in-law as much pocket money as you want."

Qin Yanzheng was speaking the truth.

"No comment?"

Song Lan raised her eyebrows again.

“Why do you have an opinion?”

Qin Yanzheng said: "You are the daughter of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I am their son-in-law. It is natural for us to respect our elders. Besides, with our monthly income, I don't think our family is short of money."

"Qin Yanzheng, I am very satisfied with what you said!"

Song Lan's delicate and beautiful face was full of smiles. She said, "But my parents won't take our money. Even if I told them it was pocket money, my mom would still refuse to take it."

What she forced upon me doesn't count.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very nice people. They don't want the pocket money we give them. Remember to buy more things to honor them every time you go home." Qin Yanzheng did not forget that every time Song Lan returned to their small home in the staff quarters from Shisong Village, there was always a large bamboo basket tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and the basket was always stuffed full.

Song Lan: "That's what I did. I told you before."

Qin Yanzheng: "You don't need to tell me about respecting your elders."

"You and I are husband and wife, and I don't want you to misunderstand me. Besides, husband and wife should be honest with each other and discuss things with each other."

Since they had decided to live a good life together, Song Lan naturally didn't want to create any misunderstandings between her and Qin Yanzheng, which would lead to the two of them drifting further and further apart.

Qin Yanzheng's deep eyes were filled with emotion, and he curled the corners of his lips: "So far, I have not hidden anything from you, and I won't in the future."

"..."

Song Lan was stunned.

[I believe what Qin Yanzheng said, but...but I am hiding something from him, and I have thought that I will never tell this secret until I die. It's not that I don't trust Qin Yanzheng, but even I find it unbelievable.

If Qin Yanzheng knew, would he believe it?

I believe that he actually lives in a world created by a novel, and that he and his family are just cannon fodder mentioned in the novel. The family went through all kinds of things and eventually died without a single one left. I came to this world by accident from another world and became the daughter-in-law of the Qin family...

Also, does he believe that my becoming the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family in this life is not the original plot? 】
