Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 23: Chapter 023 Sending Wife Home_1

“Let go!” Huo Beijiang’s face suddenly darkened, his long, narrow phoenix eyes half-closed, emanating a formidable aura.

Huo Jinlan, frightened, obediently released her hand.

“Little sister has grown up, and should keep some distance from big brother.” Huo Beijiang casually threw a blanket over himself and got up from the sofa.

“Grandma, I’ll change my clothes first, and then I’ll take Nan Fei home.”

“Alright!” Zhou Yongxian nearly burst into laughter.

Compared to Huo Jinlan, who stood there, lost in thoughts, her face alternately paling and flushing, her fingers unconsciously twisting together. Finally, unable to hold back her tears, she burst into sobs and ran back to her room without turning back.

...

Yuan Xueshan, feeling a profound sense of compassion, hurried to follow and comfort her.

Zhou Yongxian felt a sense of distress seeing the state Huo Jinlan was in.

The market of Qi Li Town was the liveliest in the entire county among dozens of towns.

After leaving the Huo Family, Jiang Nanfei went straight to the farmer’s market. She was aware that her mother was not in excellent health and the family hadn’t had proper meals for a long time, she used the only little money she had to buy some meat to improve their meals.

The farmer’s market was crowded. From the east entrance, there were shops selling daily necessities, agricultural tools, and small supermarkets. Further inside, there were fruit stalls, shoe vendors, clothing, and fabrics.

Above was a tall, large pavilion, and below was a row of long stone tables, neatly arranged with goods.

She carefully examined each row, thinking about what kind of small business she could start to increase the family’s income once her mother’s eyes were better. @@novelbin@@

The 1990s was a period of violent conflict between traditional thought and the new. Rural people generally held conservative views, yet the youth began to mimic the clothing and hairstyles they saw on Hong Kong and Taiwanese TV, movies, and music albums.

Bell-bottoms and pegged pants!

Jiang Nanfei found everything in her sight nostalgic yet fascinating.

While the elderly generally still held views from the ’70s and ’80s, the youth bashfully yet earnestly sought the style presented in the movies.

In short, they possessed a heart that pursued fashion, but lacked the aesthetic sense of fashion.

By then, the coastal cities of the south had already developed. If she could bring a batch of goods from there, no matter if it was clothing, trinkets, or small appliances, she could make a profit.

Jiang Nanfei followed the crowd, finally stopping at a pork stall.

“How much is the pork per kilogram?” She silently calculated how much money she had left in her pocket, how much pork she could buy. She wondered if she should buy some pork big bones as they were nutritious. If her younger brother drank more bone broth, he was sure to grow over 1.8 meters tall.

Both her parents were not short, in her previous life she was 1.7 meters tall! Only her younger sister was the shortest in the family, just barely 1.6 meters. She needed to intake more calcium in hopes of growing taller.

Her younger brother …

Thinking of her younger brother, Jiang Nanfei’s eyes darkened slightly. In her previous life, her younger brother had died before he had the chance to grow taller. In this life, she vowed to protect him.

“Ah?” A voice filled with surprise snapped Jiang Nanfei out of her distant thoughts.

“Student Nan Fei, you’ve come to buy pork?” In front of her stood a girl who seemed to be about her age. The girl was tall, likely over 1.75 meters, towering over the crowd and making the man beside her seem short in comparison.

She had striking features, with vigorous eyebrows. She was wearing an apron and excitedly waving a butcher knife as she looked at Nan Fei.

Nan Fei, looking at the knife that was waving in front of her, silently took a step back, putting some distance between them.
