"Let them gossip if they want; if they think I'm not decent or say I'm no good, then they're only worthy of seeing my bad side," Li Qiao said.
Qin Jin smiled, then asked, "Where did you get the pork? Did you settle the accounts with the supply and marketing cooperative in advance to buy it?"
When he came with the dry supplies on the weekend and offered her money, she refused to take it, insisting that he keep it for household expenses.
She said if there was no money, they could settle up at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"No, I'll settle it later. This is the reward I got for ranking first in the grade, and there's also a two yuan cash prize," Li Qiao boasted.
Qin Jin's lips curled up. "My wife is truly amazing."
"We'll buy a few more pounds of meat later and send some to eldest sister and second sister. Are you free tomorrow?" Li Qiao asked.
"I have to keep digging ditches for another five or six days," Qin Jin estimated.
