Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Why Would I Be Afraid of Her?

The next day, Gu Yue replaced all the parts he had brought. The oil press was indeed much better, and its service life would also be extended.

The villagers praised him to the skies, and he integrated into village life much better than the other educated youths.

Song Chu took the things she bought from the provincial capital to Song Lao San’s home in the county town.

Guo Chun opened the door and saw Song Chu. She warmly pulled her in, “Chu Chu is here.”

Song Lao San was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw his younger sister, his face was full of smiles, “Come and sit down.”

When Song Chu sat down, Guo Chun brought out fruit and biscuits from the house, “Have something to eat.”

Song Chu took the apple Guo Chun handed her and smiled as she passed the things she was carrying, “Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, I went to the provincial capital a few days ago and bought you some things.”

“Third Sister-in-law, I bought you a dress. Try it on.”

Guo Chun didn’t expect her younger sister-in-law to buy her a dress. She curiously opened the bag and took it out to look.

Seeing that it was the latest style of Buraji dress, her eyes lit up, “Oh, this dress is so beautiful. The provincial capital department store really has different things.”

Because her older sister worked at the clothing factory, she didn’t lack clothes, but the styles produced in the county town were very ordinary.

Seeing such a beautiful dress, she was very happy, “I’ll go try it on now.”

“Third Brother, I bought you two pairs of shoes, one pair of rubber shoes and one pair of leather shoes. You try them on too.” Song Chu said while biting into her apple.

Because Third Brother’s family often subsidized the family, and he was a teacher, Song Chu bought him an extra pair of leather shoes.

She also bought a pair of leather shoes for Song Lao Si, mainly because he would be going out to discuss business for the pig farm, so he needed to pay attention to his appearance.

The other two brothers would have to wait for now. It wasn’t that she didn’t have the money, but she didn’t have the tickets.

Song Chu also told them yesterday that she would buy them each a pair when she got more tickets or if they were available on the black market.

Song Lao San was stunned. He never expected to receive a gift of leather shoes from his younger sister in his lifetime.

He got up and opened the package. He first tried on the rubber shoes, then switched to the leather shoes. He smiled gently and said, “They fit well and are comfortable to wear.”

“Mom told me your shoe size,” Song Chu said with a smile.

Song Lao San was even happier, “Mom still remembers my shoe size?”

“Of course, Mom always thinks about you and Third Sister-in-law,” Song Chu nodded.

Song Chu actually got everyone’s shoe sizes from Second Sister-in-law. Her mother had asked Second Sister-in-law to make cloth shoes for everyone before.

But she knew what to say to make Third Brother the happiest.

Song Lao San’s smile deepened, “I knew Mom always thought of us. We’ll go back to see her next time we have a break.”

Guo Chun came out wearing the dress.

Song Chu smiled and said, “Third Sister-in-law is so beautiful. You have a great figure.”

Her Third Sister-in-law was quite good-looking and had a good figure.

Guo Chun blushed slightly, “You’re such a sweet talker.”

Then she asked Song Lao San, “Does it look good?”

Song Lao San nodded happily, “It looks good, very good.” How could the dress his sister bought not look good?

Guo Chun blushed. In the room, she had heard their conversation. She looked at her husband’s feet, “Your leather shoes look good too.”

“Of course,” Song Lao San nodded.

He decided to wear them to work later and show off his sister’s gift to his colleagues.

He was also going to his mother-in-law’s for dinner tonight, so he could show off his sister and the shoes there too.

Guo Chun sat down next to Song Chu, “Thank you, Little Sister.”

“We’re family, no need to be polite. I bought gifts for everyone else too.” Since the last incident with the thugs, Song Chu’s relationship with her Third Sister-in-law had improved a lot.

Song Chu asked Song Lao San, “Third Brother, did you find the high school textbooks I asked you to help me find?”

◈◈◈

Song Lao San got up and took out a set of textbooks from the cabinet, “I found them. I was planning to bring them to you next time I went back, but you came first.”

“Why do you want high school textbooks?” Even if his sister wanted to continue studying for high school, she should be reviewing junior high school textbooks.

Song Chu took the textbooks and said, “I heard that the Gaokao might be reinstated in two years, so I’m planning to study high school textbooks myself and take the university entrance exam then.”

Song Lao San was stunned, “Who told you that? That’s unlikely.”

Song Chu immediately threw the blame, “That Comrade Huo from the Armed Forces Department said so. He’s the Vice-County Magistrate’s friend, and his family is a big family in Kyoto. They have inside information.”

“Third Brother, you should also find a set of high school textbooks and study hard. Take the university entrance exam in the future,” she said.

Her Third Brother was very diligent in his studies. He was among the top students in high school. If he could have taken the university entrance exam back then, he would have definitely passed.

After the reform and opening up, the country would place great importance on education. Her Third Brother could develop well in this area, so taking the university entrance exam was very necessary.

Song Lao San also had some regrets about not taking the university entrance exam, “Is the news true?”

Song Chu nodded, “It’s very likely true, but don’t go around telling people, or they’ll come looking for trouble with me.”

“Of course, we won’t tell anyone.” Song Lao San and his wife wouldn’t want to harm their younger sister.

Guo Chun pinched Song Lao San, “Little Sister told you to study, so just study. If you get into university, I’ll benefit too.”

She now trusted and supported Song Chu very much.

Song Lao San thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll go get the high school textbooks I lent out tomorrow and start studying.”

After Song Chu left, the two of them went to work wearing their new clothes and shoes.

Another ten days passed.

During these ten days, Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si kept an eye on Fang Yue Lan.

For the first few days, because the Fang family was watching her, Fang Yue Lan didn’t go out.

But in the following days, they discovered that Fang Yue Lan had secretly contacted all the workers at the pig farm.

Most of the people were not persuaded by her and even scolded her on the spot.

A couple of them seemed to be swayed at the time, but after being scolded by their families when they got home, they also refused her proposal to make trouble.

On this day, Fang’s Eldest Sister-in-Law came to find Song Chu.

“Chu Chu, my younger sister-in-law just went into town. I feel like something is off about her. Be careful.” Fang’s Eldest Sister-in-Law had been paying attention since Song Chu said she was hiring more people, and she was also keeping a close eye on Fang Yue Lan.

Song Chu roughly guessed what Fang Yue Lan was going to do.

“I’ll be careful, thank you, Fang’s Eldest Sister-in-Law,” Song Chu thanked her with a smile.

Fang’s Eldest Sister-in-Law left immediately after delivering the message.

Song Chu called Song Lao Si to her office.

Song Chu said, “Fang Yue Lan failed to incite the workers at the pig farm. Fang’s Eldest Sister-in-Law just said she went into town. I suspect she went directly to the county town to report me.”

Song Lao Si’s expression changed, “What should we do? That woman is really too evil.”

Song Chu raised her eyebrows, “Why are you changing your expression? How many times have I told you to stay calm and think things through when something happens?”

Song Lao Si said sheepishly, “I was just anxious.”

“Sister, if she really reports you and someone comes to investigate, will it be troublesome?” In his impression, it seemed that anything involving reporting was very serious.

Song Chu smiled indifferently, “A clean hand wants no washing. I didn’t misappropriate public funds or embezzle money. Why would I be afraid of her?”
