Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Lin Lan smiled, “Uncle Tang, of course you’re the one who has the final say. What would you do if someone reported you?”

It was a cold day. The door was open and the cold breeze was blowing, but Old Man Tang’s forehead began to sweat.

If it were him, he would certainly not let the other party have an easy time, right? In the past, there were also several brothers in his family who wanted to compete with them for the business of selling pork. As a result, they had several fights. In the end, those brothers ended up laying at home for several days and never dared to touch his Tang family’s business ever again.

His answer was to beat up the other party until they became afraid! Then, they would never dare to make plans again! This was the experience passed down by Old Man Tang’s father.

Today, others have possessed the ability to beat them into submission as well.

Although he only brought four young men, he now understood that no matter how many men he brought, they would not be enough to fight Han Qingsong. Although they were arrogant in the Tang Family Village, the brigade cadres and commune cadres had to give them points of courtesy. However, he had also heard of Han Qingsong— an officer who didn’t care about relations when dealing with cases.

His own brother was sent to a labour reformation camp!

Besides, civilians should not be picking a fight with the officials.

So Old Man Tang was convinced that the winner was a king and the loser was a thief(4). No matter how much he lost, any amount of compensation should be paid up.

(T/N: A saying that says whoever won was the one with the true version of events/ the hero. The weaker one will always be in the wrong.)

He hesitated, “My daughter, now we’re all under a collective economy. Our family has no land and no livestock. We currently have food for the whole family and a loom. We weave some cloth to supplement the cloth coupons. In addition, we have 180 dollars for the New Year. Since the family spent 120 dollars for the New Years’ celebrations, there’s still 60 dollars left.”

“Old man, you can’t do that. Those 60 dollars should last for a year. If anyone has a headache or fever during the year or weddings and funerals at home, what should we do?” Old Lady Tang cried anxiously.

Old Man Tang glared at her, “I’ll settle the accounts with you when I get back!”

At this time, it was all a collective economy and earning work points in the brigade was really transparent. Even if everyone in their family earned full points and doubled it, calculations were possible to estimate their earnings.

Using the work points of their brigade to estimate and deducting food, firewood, etc., the amount of money left was fairly accurate with what he said.

Lin Lan just wanted them to remember that doing something wrong does not happen without the risk of paying the price. How could one simply rely on their husband or sons’ abilities to bend the rules all the time?

She glanced at Old Lady Tang and said, “How about this then? Let’s have you pay 300 dollars and we can write off the report.”

“What?” Everyone present was stunned.

“For f*uck’s sake, why don’t you just rob us—” Old Lady Tang almost fainted. She had lowered her eyebrows and looked docile before, but now she raised her eyebrows out of shock. A tame rabbit like her had now turned into a ferocious weasel.
