Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 505: Chapter 505: The Vicious Mother-in-law 51

Ma Xiangdong looked worriedly at his mother, ”Mom, are you okay?”

”I’m fine.” Yuan Chun entered the room and said, ”I didn’t go up the mountain, I went to the provincial city.”

”Mom, what did you go to the provincial city for?”

Ma Laoer, who followed her into the room, asked curiously.

Yuan Chun smiled at her eldest son and said, ”I went to the provincial hospital to ask about installing a prosthetic for your leg, eldest son. Prepare yourself these few days, I’ll take you to the provincial city to get a prosthetic. You won’t need crutches to walk anymore.”

Ma Xiangdong’s eyes lit up, but dimmed quickly, ”Mom, prosthetics are expensive. I’ve heard from comrades before that one costs over a thousand yuan.”

”It’s just over a thousand yuan, your discharge pay and disability compensation should cover it.”

Yuan Chun said casually.

After buying the house, she went to the hospital to inquire about prosthetics. The cheapest one cost four to five hundred yuan, while the best and most expensive was over two thousand.

She planned to get Ma Xiangdong the best and most expensive one, so it would be more comfortable to walk.

However, she didn’t plan to say this now, fearing Ma Xiangdong would save money and refuse to go to the provincial city.

Ma Xiangdong was hesitant, ”Mom, that’s a lot of money. We might as well save it for Daya and Erya’s schooling. I’m already used to it now; I can walk pretty fast without a prosthetic.”

”Eldest son, you can earn back the money for Daya and Erya’s schooling slowly, but you must not save on a prosthetic. Just think, with a prosthetic, you can leave Qinghe Village. Our country’s policies have changed, and you can do business in the future. Eldest son, you don’t want to stay in the village farming all your life, do you?”

Of course, Ma Xiangdong didn’t want to farm his whole life.

He had been ambitious since he was young; he wouldn’t have joined the army as soon as he came of age otherwise.

Ma Xiangdong glanced at his slender, tanned wife, clenched his fist, and decided, ”Mom, I’ll go to the provincial city.”

”Hmm, trust Mom, you won’t go wrong.”

Yuan Chun instructed her eldest son’s wife, ”Pack up your luggage in the next couple of days; we’ll all go to the provincial city together. I’ve rented a compound there, and I’m planning to take you to do business.”

Why not just say she bought a house?

Of course, it’s because Ma Laoer and his wife’s eyes turned red with jealousy easily. Yuan Chun didn’t want any trouble before taking her eldest son’s family to the provincial city.

”Mom, what business are you taking eldest brother to do?” Ma Laoer curiously asked.

Yuan Chun glanced at the courtyard piled with bamboo and said, ”What else can your eldest brother do? Of course, he’s going to make and sell bamboo products.”

”Then...what about sister-in-law and Daya and Erya going along? They still need to study,” Ma Laoer sensed his mother was lying, knowing she wasn’t just taking his eldest brother to do bamboo business.

Yuan Chun glared at him, ”What, do you want your sister-in-law and her daughters to stay at your place?”

”Hehe, Mom, look at what you’re saying, this is also eldest brother’s house. If sister-in-law and her daughters want to stay, I wouldn’t kick them out.”

Wang Cui secretly glared at her husband.

This house, since it was assigned to the second branch, belonged to them. If sister-in-law and her daughters stayed long, could any explanation make sense?

Wang Cui didn’t want Qian Hongmei and her daughters living at her house.

Three days later, Yuan Chun took Ma Xiangdong and his family of four to the provincial city and moved directly into her newly bought house.

Qian Hongmei, after putting down her luggage and looking around the house, exclaimed, ”Mom, I thought you only rented two small rooms. I didn’t expect you rented such a big house. Mom, is the rent expensive? How much per month? If it’s too expensive, we’ll switch to a smaller place next month. The five of us can’t use so much space.”
