Chapter 125: Not being the son of a man, he turned around and sold his father-in-law (please order the full version)
There are actually one hundred yuan in foreign exchange coupons?
Cheng Xuemin secretly counted and found that the reprint fee his father-in-law secretly gave him was as high as one hundred yuan, and it was in foreign exchange coupons!
Foreign exchange coupons!
In this era, it is the rarest and most difficult thing to get, and it is also the most in demand!
Because whether it is an overseas Chinese store or a friendship store, most of the imported goods they sell are foreign exchange coupons, and the national currency needs to be converted into foreign exchange coupons first.
But foreign exchange coupons are not so easy to exchange. Anyway, the post office's monthly share is extremely pitiful, and ordinary people cannot exchange it at all.
Exchange it from other people who have foreign exchange coupons, let alone whether they are willing to exchange it, even if they exchange it for you!
The exchange rate is basically five yuan or more.
It's just five yuan of national currency, which can only be exchanged for one foreign exchange coupon, and you still have to owe a favor.
The normal exchange rate at the post office and bank is only about four yuan, but it is rarely possible to exchange it.
so!
The hundred yuan of foreign exchange coupons that his father-in-law gave him was equivalent to five hundred yuan of national currency, right?
Not bad!
As my father-in-law said, as long as Cheng Xuemin doesn't blow himself up, and he doesn't say anything to his father-in-law, who knows that their Foreign Languages Publishing House can also pay royalties for reprinting Chinese literature manuscripts?
Just now my father-in-law said that even my mother-in-law didn't know about it. It can be seen that my father-in-law has been guarding himself for a long time, secretly hiding private money, and most of it is foreign exchange coupons.
ox!
With an exchange rate of at least one to five, Cheng Xuemin felt that the real boss in the family was his father-in-law!
After all, he just hid thousands of private money in foreign exchange coupons, which is a small treasury worth thousands.
Do you want to report it?
Cheng Xuemin thought of a very, very exciting way to coax the mother-in-law, divert the conflict and directly sacrifice the father-in-law's small treasury?
Yes, yes, I report, I report, I strive for leniency from my mother-in-law!
"Don't tell me, I think your other two manuscripts will be accepted as well!"
Father Feng felt a chill behind him. He turned around and looked at his hard-working son-in-law. He couldn't even hide his personal money well, but Mr. Tang gave him away. He was so stupid!
I thought I was a man and had some private money, so I secretly gave him the royalties for reprinting the two articles.
But now that I think about it, is it too risky?
If this boy is too honest and sweet, and turns around and hands it over to his wife, his own daughter, will he turn around and sell him, his father-in-law?
I must emphasize that there will be more later!
"Don't tell me, don't tell me!" Cheng Xuemin nodded repeatedly and asked pretending to be worried, "Dad, if you tell me not to tell you, you won't tell your mother and children, right?"
"I just warned you, I won't do it again! If she finds out again, I'm really doomed!"
"Is she really so strict in normal times?" Feng's father did not directly answer Cheng Xuemin's words, but asked instead.
Isn't it?
If the control is really too tight, he, as the father, will have to give some attention to his own daughter!
Don't be like her mother, your son-in-law is in a different situation than him!
“That’s not true!”
Cheng Xuemin shook his head in comparison. Feng Jiayou really didn't care about him much, and he didn't hold anything too strict when it came to money.
Although all the royalties she earned were handed over to Feng Jiayou, the woman didn't really have access to her little treasury. That's where the money was kept. Both of them knew it, so it was considered as husband and wife to keep and save the money together. ?
On the contrary, the Feng family gave Cheng Xuemin the usual pocket money expenses. She never had more than two yuan in her pocket.
And the two dollars in my pocket often don't move much for a week.
In the end, most of them were either taken care of by my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, or they took their nephews and nieces with them on weekends and bought some snacks to coax their little friends.
Feng Jiayou herself doesn't really spend much money.
So to say that she is too tight-minded would be an injustice to her own woman. She just has that kind of temperament. She likes to save and count money, right?
That’s right!
And be filial!
When she took out the 2,000 yuan script fee two days ago, the woman conveniently sent another 300 yuan to Cheng Xuemin's parents in northern Shaanxi by mail.
Including that time at the beginning of the month, Feng Jiayou had already mailed 500 yuan to his parents!
Five hundred yuan in this era, and it was still a rural area, a huge amount of money!
Cheng Xuemin can imagine how shocked and excited his parents would be after receiving the two remittances.
I just don’t know if everyone in the brigade will know that their son and daughter-in-law mailed 500 yuan to their family?
Probably not. Their parents know better than anyone else that wealth should not be exposed.
At most, he would publicize in the brigade how awesome his son was and how filial his daughter-in-law was, and he would pay royalties to his family to honor them!
As for the amount of the postal remittance, I will definitely not reveal a word.
"Then don't say it!"
Father Feng nodded, emphasized something, and then said nothing more. Weng and son-in-law walked back to the yard.
And at this moment!
Three women in the family are already waiting for Cheng Xuemin, mother-in-law Feng Mu, daughter-in-law Feng Jiayou, and sister-in-law Feng Jiamo who is not afraid of troubles.
The young Feng family winked at Cheng Xuemin and said that there was nothing she could do; her sister-in-law looked like an old man, Cheng, who was determined to die.
This rhythm...
Cheng Xuemin glanced at his father-in-law complicatedly, put his hand in his pocket, and clutched the foreign exchange coupon tightly. He was wondering whether he should give it to his father-in-law directly to divert the conflict?
“Mom, I told you, this is it!”
"When Xuemin submitted those manuscripts, "Director Qiao's Assumption of the Job" was also being written and was almost finished!"
"Originally, I thought that the best "Director Qiao's Assumption of the Job" must be for you, Mom. I thought of transferring the other articles to publish them as soon as possible to earn royalties!"
"But how could I know..."
After blinking at herself, Feng Jiayou said to Cheng Xuemin again and forcefully argued with her mother.
This moved Cheng Xuemin again and felt that hiding private money was really inappropriate!
How about dad, let’s explain it together and try to get leniency for him?
“Are you so short of money?”
Mother Feng didn’t know what the debt collector was thinking. It must have been her idea that was instigated by the debt collector!
But for the two articles written by Li Xiaolin in Shanghai and the article in "Yanhe Literature", if only her family's debt collectors had known earlier that her surname, Gu Xueqing, was Feng!
But just as the debt collector said sophistry, the time is really right!
There is already an article about the atomic bomb being prepared for her mother-in-law. Other articles can indeed be forwarded to others. Publish them first and earn the royalties!
But this made the couple very short of money. Did the old Feng family treat them so harshly?
“Mom, I’m short of money!”
"Xuemin and I plan to buy a house and move out as soon as possible. Then..."
Feng Jiayou blurted out on the spot that the couple had not planned to talk about buying a house so early!
But it’s not okay not to say it now, and their current small treasury is sufficient, which is more than enough to buy their own small house, but they lack good housing.
There is no need to hide it anymore and mention it to her parents, or they may be able to find better housing because the older generation has a lot of connections.
But before Feng Jiayou finished speaking, Feng's mother stood up from the stool and asked in shock: "No, you want to buy a house and move out?"
"How much money do you have on hand to buy a house?"
Not only did Feng's mother explode, but Feng's father also suddenly stopped, turned to look at Cheng Xuemin and asked, "Xuemin, are you planning to buy a house?"
Buying a house, such a big thing, was hidden and hidden from their parents!
Are these two people too crazy?
"Dad, Mom! My son and I really want to find a house that is closer to Yanda, so that it will be more convenient for our son to go to and from school!"
Cheng Xuemin was also surprised that Feng Jiayou would throw such a bomb to change the topic.
Originally, he was planning to sell his father-in-law directly!
Now that the topic has changed, the foreign exchange coupons in his pocket are safe and can be hidden secretly!
"Yes! Mom and Dad! Xuemin and I are thinking this way. When his parents come over, they will have a place to stay, and they can take care of their grandchildren!"
Feng Jiayou added after that!
"Xuemin, your parents are also moving here?!"
This time Feng's mother and Feng's father looked at each other, and their hearts became even more complicated and horrified!
I had been vaccinated against the debt collector in my family before. Can her elder brother and sister-in-law take care of the child after birth? Anyway, they both have to go to college and have no time to take care of her.
But at that time, the debt collector pretended to be confused and did not say anything to express his position. He thought they wanted to discuss it and think about it.
Little did they know that they were all planning to move out and bring their parents-in-law over to live with them and help take care of their grandchildren.
That means you won't give her a big brother or sister-in-law?
Feng’s mother felt a little more complicated, knowing that she had taken it too much for granted!
I feel that the two of them really don’t have time to take care of the debt collectors, and there has been no movement in the boss’s family for these years, so I want to make a contribution to the boss’s family.
But later the debt collector didn't say anything and his son-in-law became more outstanding, so Mother Feng never mentioned this topic again.
Now that the debt collector made such a disguised statement, Feng's mother suddenly realized that her previous proposal was a bit too overbearing and wishful thinking! The son-in-law is not really a son-in-law, and the only one in the old Cheng family is the son-in-law. Except for the elder sister who is married, there are no other brothers!
How could her parents-in-law, who are debt collectors, give their grandchildren to their old Feng family?
"Mom! I think so, but it's hard for them to leave their hometown, so they only came here to stay for a while and then went back!"
Cheng Xuemin still didn't know what his mother-in-law was thinking, so he nodded and told her.
As Cheng Xuemin said, in his reply to the letter, his parents had never thought of moving to Yanjing to live permanently.
Cheng Xuemin could also understand that the older generation, who had cultivated the land all their lives, would not be able to adapt to suddenly coming to the city.
Besides, Cheng Xuemin couldn't let them end up with no land at all after cultivating the land all his life.
In two years' time, the distribution of farmland to each household will begin!
Although Cheng Xuemin didn't care about those few acres of fields, his parents, who had been farming all their lives, definitely cared about the treasure!
After all, it has been a deep-rooted thought for thousands of years that farmers must have their own fields. If you don’t have your own fields, can you still be a farmer?
If you want to move to the city and become a city dweller, you have to transfer your household registration!
But in this era, especially in the past few years, the household registration of educated youths from below cannot be confirmed, and many of them cannot return home, let alone the possibility of transferring from rural to non-agricultural areas!
So Cheng Xuemin followed his parents' wishes and stayed in his hometown in northern Shaanxi. They would be happy if the land was distributed to each household in two years!
"I really want to take you over and live here for a while. Xuemin, why don't you just take your in-laws and mother-in-law over this winter vacation so that our two families can have a good time together..."
Before Feng's mother could finish speaking, she felt her debt collector Feng Jiayou tugging at her!
What, what do you mean?
You’re not allowed to say that, right?
She is her mother-in-law, and she invites her mother-in-law and her parents-in-law, debt collectors, to come and stay for two days. What’s going on?
You think the house rented by Lao Feng’s family doesn’t have room for your parents-in-law, so they have to wait until you two buy the house before coming back?
You two, these debt collectors, put your heart in your stomach, put your heart at ease!
At worst, if she and Lao Feng go out to live in a guest house, they won't block your parents-in-law from the door, leaving them with no place to live!
"Thank you, Mom! I really plan to go back before the year when my kids go on winter vacation. The household registration issue hasn't been finalized yet, so I have to transfer my household registration there!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded. Since his mother-in-law had invited her, he should go back and bring his parents over to meet the two families.
Although it is not appropriate for the time being to make a big deal and give the Feng family a wedding, the revised betrothal gift still has to be given. Should the bride price be given?
“The household registration must be implemented as soon as possible, Xuemin, don’t delay, and don’t be too hasty about the house!”
Father Feng followed and told Cheng Xuemin.
The matter of the house is already being implemented by Feng's father's work unit, and it may be allocated before or after the year or two. At this time, the son-in-law and daughter go to buy a house by themselves. Isn't it wrong?
And I’ve never heard of it. If you spend a lot of money to buy a house, isn’t it allocated by your work unit?
"Don't worry about the house. Are you in a hurry when you only have two dollars in hand? When you graduate from college and start working, your employer will not arrange it for you!?"
Feng's mother also nodded and told the debt collectors in her family not to think about buying a house because they only have two dollars in their hands!
"But living at home with us is not a long-term solution after all. Besides, Liqin Liwen is growing up quickly, and the second brother is about to come back. How can we live together as a big family?"
Feng Jiayou, who originally had no strong intention to buy a house, is now impatient this time!
Just like what she said, with such a big family, even if her father's house is allocated, how big will it be?
Can you manage such a big family?
At this moment, Feng’s father and Feng’s mother were silent. It was exactly what Feng Jiayou said!
For such a big family, unless the eldest and second eldest son are separated into separate households and then apply for a house allocation from the work unit, that will have to wait.
"Then how much money do you have now?"
After Feng's mother fell silent, she thought about it again and asked the debt collector.
"There is... eight or nine thousand!"
Feng Jiayou originally wanted to say 6,000, but she did only have less than 6,000 in hand for the time being. However, in order to show her strength in front of her parents and agree to buy a house and share it with them, she gave Cheng Xuemin's unacquired villain a book. The royalties are included!
"How much?! Eight or nine thousand?"
Feng's mother's eyes suddenly bulged when she heard this, and her face was extremely shocked and she asked in disbelief: "Where did you get so many? Isn't it just more than five thousand?!"
The mother must know exactly how much savings her debt collector holds.
After all, the manuscripts published by her man are now basically clear, and the total is about 5,000 points.
But the debt collector suddenly said that she now has eight or nine thousand in hand, which is three or four thousand more than she expected. How is this possible?
"Xuemin has more than three thousand hidden in his little treasury!"
The money really wasn't worth it, so Feng Jiayou simply sold her man. Just now, she was rushing to talk about submitting another article. She already knew it, but now she was so hasty and fast-talking that she sold her man!
Hearing this, Cheng Xuemin couldn't help but look up at the sky, and thought to himself, "My wife, can you please have some snacks?"
As long as they have some other income, it is better than you being so direct and honest!
“How much!?”
"Isn't it just three manuscripts? Where did he get so much royalties?"
Now it was Feng's mother's turn to not be calm, and she thought about it, how many manuscripts could a small treasury with more than 3,000 yuan secretly publish? !
Immediately, he asked quickly: "How many manuscripts has he secretly published? Don't be angry with me. Can you tell them all in one breath?"
"Don't say a little bit today, but say a little bit tomorrow, are you going to piss your mother off to death?"
"Sister, Da Lao Cheng, are you so rich?! Eight or nine thousand yuan, a small household worth ten thousand yuan!"
When my sister-in-law Feng Jiamo heard that her sister had saved eight or nine thousand yuan, she immediately exploded on the spot!
this……
Ignoring sister-in-law Feng Jiamo's screams, Cheng Xuemin looked at his mother-in-law bitterly!
I originally thought that just now Feng Jiayou took all the responsibility and deceived her mother-in-law! Unexpectedly, his mother-in-law had already seen through it with her sharp eyes, but she just didn't expose Feng Jiayou's sophistry.
Now I want to directly ask how many manuscripts he, a good son-in-law, has secretly submitted behind his back.
Then the misunderstanding was serious, Cheng Xuemin quickly said: "No, no, no, Mom, apart from those three manuscripts, I really didn't submit any other manuscripts!"
"What about the royalties?"
Feng's mother became even more confused after hearing this. She didn't submit other manuscripts, so what happened to the extra three thousand manuscript fees?
"Xuemin contributed many manuscripts to Lao Pan of the Humanities Society!"
Feng's father was also amazed at the speed at which the two of them were making money. Don't be too frightened. Before you know it, they are a small household worth ten thousand yuan!
Cheng Xuemin mentioned it to him just now, and Feng's father told him the same thing.
"I submitted a manuscript to Lao Pan of the Humanities Society, and he said I didn't submit any other manuscripts?!"
Feng's mother's face dropped even more when she heard this. You can tell lies in person without blushing, right?
Thanks to his father-in-law for knowing this, how long could he have kept it a secret otherwise?
"Lao Pan is the chief editor of the art editorial department of the Humanities Society, and his main focus is on illustrating comic books and comic books!"
Father Feng rolled his eyes, didn't everyone know Lao Pan?
“He!”
"Xuemin, can you draw illustrations and comic books?"
Feng's mother came to her senses and remembered that Lao Pan was an artist and she couldn't help but nodded, but this wasn't right either!
Her son-in-law can even draw and write comic books?
"I have done some drawings, and Director Pan is quite satisfied. I dare not tell my parents about this, for fear that she will say that I am not doing my job properly!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and helped Feng Jiayou untie his waist. It was not good to let his woman rush in front all the time.
Although she was facing her parents, if she rushed too much, she would turn against Tiangang!
"It's true that you are not doing your job properly. Writing manuscripts is inherently stressful. You can change your mind by drawing and playing, but don't work too hard. You won't be able to earn all the royalties!"
Only then did Feng's mother's face relax. She was too tired and didn't want to talk any more. She stood up and went back to her house, taking with her the clothes of the debt collector Feng Jiayou. Obviously mother and daughter still had private things to say.
"You held me back just now and didn't let me speak. What's wrong?"
"It's Xuemin who wants his parents to come over and take care of the child. He doesn't want to give it to your eldest brother or sister-in-law?"
The topic just reached this point, but Feng Jiayou quietly stopped him from talking anymore, right?
"Mom! He is the only one in Xuemin's family, how can he give it to his eldest brother and sister-in-law? I never dared to tell Xuemin before!"
How dare Feng Jiayou mention this to her man?
It is something that is impossible in the first place, so why bring it up, cause a gap between the couple, and make Xuemin have opinions about her family?
Isn't this just looking for trouble!
