Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Second Brother Yun’s Telegram

But how could she explain this to them?

"It’s for buying New Year’s goods."

Was she really going to buy New Year’s goods?

Many people were heading to the town to buy things since the brigade had distributed money.

As for her family’s work points, they had all been exchanged for grain. There was no way to exchange work points for money.

However, Sister-in-law Zhao’s family had received some money, but they were still in famine debt because they needed to spend money at home and had not repaid it yet.

Sister-in-law Zhao wanted to ask about whether there was any cotton left.

But with so many people on the ox cart, Sister-in-law Zhao did not ask.

The cotton was really warm, and there was still a lot left from the cloth, which had been used to patch children’s cotton-padded clothes. The smallest scraps were felted into shoe soles and the larger pieces were sewn together to make a garment for the two youngest.

In the countryside, without cloth tickets, buying new clothes was not an easy task.

After arriving in town, Yun Xiaoxiao even asked, "Do you need help?"

Brother Zhao had a cane and could not exert much force on his leg.

"No need, no need."

Brother Zhao was slowly helped down from the ox cart.

At this point, many people had already left the ox cart and gone to line up at the Cooperative; otherwise, they would not be able to buy anything later.

"Sister-in-law, if you can get some cloth, could you spare some for me?"

What?

"Sister-in-law, you know it’s all about luck. If I’m lucky, I might get a ready-made cotton-padded jacket. Last time I saw one and bought it for Da Bao and Xiao Bao. These readymade garments that don’t require tickets are a bit more expensive, though."

They had just finished building their house and were still in debt, with two daughters still in school at home.

Yun Xiaoxiao’s thoughts were simple: What I give you is yours, but if you want something from me, sorry, I won’t give it.

Giving and demanding are different.

Yun Xiaoxiao was clear about this.

"Then I don’t want it."

She couldn’t afford the ticket-less readymade garments.

"Alright."

After parting ways with them, she visited the post office intending to buy a set of stamps. A few days ago, when buying things, she had suddenly noticed the stamps and realized their price. She intended to buy them and keep them for the children in the future.

"Educated Youth Yun, you have a telegram."

What?

Her telegram?

She took out her identification and collected the telegram.

Just one sentence.

Mom’s coming looking for your sister-in-law to get you back for marriage.

Just this one sentence?

It took her a long while, holding it in her hands, to understand the meaning of the message.

The female supporting character’s mother was here?

Was the female supporting character’s sister-in-law asking the female supporting character to come back for marriage?

Who had sent her this telegram?

In the book, the family of the female supporting character had no names, merely titles, and little was described about them.

Harboring doubts, she still asked the post office staff for stamps.

"Do you collect stamps?"

"Yes....."

The post office staff immediately brought out a set of stamps for her, "12.8 yuan."

The price was not cheap.

Still, Yun Xiaoxiao bought them.

After leaving the post office, she felt somewhat distracted.

In the original story, the female supporting character had already returned home once.

But now she had become the female supporting character and there was no plot of her escaping back to her mother’s home.

Could the plot be changed?

The female supporting character hadn’t gone back, but her family had come for her?

The family of the female supporting character was unaware of her marriage.

Now, she couldn’t possibly go back with the female supporting character’s family.

But what should she do now?

How far was the female supporting character’s hometown from here?

How many days by train would it take to get there?

Could the time be near?

This started to make her nervous.

She couldn’t go back, could she?

Could she stubbornly insist that she loved Da Bao’s father and beg her family not to split them apart?

Would that mean she could not go back then?
