Chapter 104
I haven't seen them for several years. I only mailed them a photo before, but how can photos from that era look as real as later ones?
Bai Xiu Xiu was looking forward to seeing her mother and elder sister as soon as possible. If they didn't come back, she would see if she could bring her family to visit them!
In the yard.
Zhao Guifen failed to anger Bai Xiuxiu again, and she was a little confused. This was different from what she had imagined.
Why doesn’t the eldest brother’s wife beat her?
Wang Shoucheng saw that he had failed again and felt upset. He gave the old woman a look and asked her to go into the house first.
Then he left the work to his two sons who were working at home and followed him into the house.
Wang Laosan, who was working, was upset: "What's going on? I expanded the house for my second brother because my fifth brother got married and my second brother gave the house to him. As a result, neither of them is at home.
You want us brothers to help, but you are still bullying others?"
Wang Laosi also felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.
It is not their turn to be the head of the family: "Third brother, think positively. Second brother and Xiaowu will both move to the city in the future. Won't their wives also have to move to the city? We will still live in this house."
"What kind of big dream are you having?" Wang Laosan was shocked. Isn't Laosi too stupid?
"This job is only in the factory of the commune, why go to the city? Moreover, even if it is in the commune, they can't afford to buy a house in the commune. The old employees haven't got their turn yet, how can it be their turn?
The whole family will still have to live at home in the future.
We are working for them!"
The more Wang Laosan spoke, the angrier he became. Ever since Xiaowu got married, the family had been in chaos. Although Xiaowu had benefited from it, it was obvious that Xiaowu had gained more.
"I don't know when we will get the chance to buy a job. Okay, let's get to work." Wang Laosan muttered a few words and continued to work.
In the house.
Wang Shoucheng looked at the old woman, not happy: "What's wrong with you? You don't even know how to make me angry? How can you be so patient when you provoke me normally?"
"The eldest son's wife was obviously angry, but she didn't hit me. Do you think she thinks she can't beat me? Or did she see something?" Zhao Guifen was worried.
"That's not enough. How could she have such a brain? We wanted to separate the eldest son, but no one told her. The eldest son usually works for the family. Who would have thought that we wanted to separate him? I think she is still not angry enough. If you touch her two children, she will definitely take action."
Wang Shoucheng was thinking about the eldest brother's two children.
"She keeps a close eye on those two kids and always takes them with her when she goes out. Do you think she will ever go to the brigade without them?" The more Zhao Guifen spoke, the more she felt that Bai Xiuxiu was cunning.
Wang Shoucheng was furious: "She can't watch them every day, and the children can't stay out to play or go to the toilet, right? You have to keep a close eye on them today. If the two children come out, you have to beat them up. I don't believe she won't be angry then."
Zhao Guifen also thought it was a solution: "Okay, let's do as you say."
She still didn't believe it. How could two little kids be kept from leaving the house?
Zhao Guifen waited from day till night.
I looked outside so hard that my neck became stiff, but I didn't see anything.
When Wang Qinghe came back from the mountain in the evening, he didn't see the two children come out.
Seeing him coming back, Wang Shoucheng went to check the basket first and confirmed it. Just like usual, there was nothing in it!
"Boss, how many days has it been?" Wang Shoucheng felt upset when he saw it.
The property hasn't been divided yet, and the eldest brother hasn't been able to take anything back, so now they have to eat the food at home!
Wang Qinghe was as calm as ever, and explained patiently, "Dad, I told you before that if there are too many people in the mountains, it will be hard to catch prey. There are more people hunting this year, so why don't you go to the mountains too?"
Wang Shoucheng was choked and kept silent.
But he was unwilling to give up: "Now that you can't bring back any prey, you have to separate the food distribution from your family. This won't work."
"Then, Dad, will you give me a share of the family property?" Wang Qinghe asked him back.
Wang Shoucheng immediately fell silent. If the family was divided, money had to be divided. He had to let them make a mistake first. Then he could use this as an excuse and not have to pay them a penny.
Letting him live was the biggest mistake of the Wang family, so how could we still give them money?
Wang Shoucheng didn't say anything, and Wang Qinghe didn't want to see them either, so he put down the basket and went back to the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my daughter-in-law knitting clothes and two children playing happily.
When Bai Xiuxiu saw him coming back, she put down the work in her hands.
"Xiu Xiu, are you okay today?" Wang Qinghe was a little worried about her when he thought about what happened this morning.
As he spoke, he began to light the stove expertly.
Bai Xiu Xiu sat on the edge of the kang and told him what happened that day.
"I think that's probably what she was planning." Bai Xiu Xiu shared her suspicions with her husband.
Wang Qinghe stopped and thought for a moment: "Xiu Xiu, I won't go out starting tomorrow, right? In two days, this matter will be over. I don't want you and the two kids to get into trouble during these two days."
Bai Xiu Xiu thought about it and agreed.
"Okay, it's time to make them hate us even more. You don't even go out of the house, which is just the right way to make them angry." Bai Xiu Xiu felt relieved when she thought of this family getting angry.
Not long after Wang Qinghe came back, the others came back. When Zhou Jiaojiao came in, her eyes were red. The two who came back with her were Wang Qingqi and Wang Qingfu who had gone to the city.
As soon as he entered the yard, Wang Qingqi started yelling, "Where are the eldest and third sisters-in-law? Mom and Dad, please let them out. They are going too far! My wife has worked so hard for this family, but they don't even want to help. My wife wants to excuse herself.
They also dismantled the stage.
My wife has to write a self-criticism. Isn't this going to cost her her life?
This matter is not over yet! "
"What's going on?" Wang Shoucheng felt something was wrong.
Wang Qingqi was about to speak when he heard the village radio announce: "Attention, villagers of Xiahe Village, the village will distribute food and money tomorrow at noon. Everyone, bring those who can work at home and line up tomorrow at noon."
After the team broadcasted it twice, they said another thing: "The day after tomorrow morning, Shanghe Village, Xiahe Village, and Zhonghe Village, three villages, will go fishing together. Everyone will come to the village granary to get the fishing nets the day after tomorrow morning, and each family must contribute at least one person."
After the two broadcasts ended, Wang Shoucheng asked Wang Qingqi again: "Old Five, what's going on?"
Zhou Jiaojiao cried and told the story again. After listening to it, Zhao Guifen was the first to shout angrily: "The eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, both of you get out of here."
