Chapter 109

Wang Qinghe carried the two children to the kang, took the kettle off the stove, and made brown sugar water for his wife and two children.

It was cold outside, so after he came back and unloaded the food, he lit the stove.

When Wang Qinghe thought about the weather and the fact that Xiuxiu had to risk falling into the water to catch those who might want to harm her, he felt that the fifth wife and her sister-in-law were very unsightly.

If they didn't exist, why would Xiuxiu have to face such danger?

If he had more potential, he wouldn't have to be like this.

"Xiu Xiu, go to the kang and warm yourself up after drinking the brown sugar water. We'll go to the big house after dinner." Wang Qinghe was cleaning up the dust on the ground where food was placed while caring about his wife.

"Okay, let's cook some rice tonight. The one in the big house is so stubborn, I don't think they will cook anything delicious unless we kick us out of the Wang family. Let's eat in the big house first, and then have the small stove when we come back.

Let's steam the bacon and dried meat we made two days ago." Bai Xiuxiu carried the enamel pot to the kang and began to think about dinner.

Every family shares the food and eats the good food. She doesn't care what the big family wants to do, as long as her family can't go hungry.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Qinghe didn't care what to eat, but he liked to eat with their family of four.

Just like any other family, full of joy.

Compared to the harmony of Bai Xiuxiu and the others, there was no harmony at all in the big house.

Wang Shoucheng looked at the five hundred and twenty yuan in his hand with a dark face. Even if he added the money in the old woman's hand, the total would not even be enough for six hundred!

This was earned by the sons together with them, and all the sons know how much money it is.

In addition to the previous incident caused by the eldest son's wife, everyone in the family knew that they still had more than a thousand yuan in savings.

How can this hole be filled?

This year is still a year of good harvest. What will we do if there is no good harvest in two years?

They are both old and can't afford any money.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Guifen looked at the money at home and was so worried that her hair was about to fall out.

If the sons knew that the family money was gone, the five hundred yuan would probably be divided among them!

"What can we do? We should try to coax them as much as possible. Except for the eldest brother, the others cannot split up. If everyone splits up, we will be left with nothing." Wang Shoucheng felt suffocated when he thought about the bleak future.

"Coax? Which of our daughters-in-law is not arrogant? I think they will start to make trouble after the eldest brother makes trouble!"

Zhao Guifen didn't have a good impression of her daughters-in-law, including the fifth daughter-in-law who brought her benefits.

"Let the fifth wife start the black market business as soon as possible, so that we can share the money and the family members will be reluctant to leave home. You better control your temper and stop making the fifth wife want to split the family.

If you make trouble again, I will send you back to your parents' home!"

Wang Shoucheng threatened her with a cold face that he didn't dare to give it to anyone.

The old woman usually listens to him, and if he really dares to leave her, she will definitely kill him.

Zhao Guifen didn't expect the old man to say such cruel words, and was so scared that he gave up his little thoughts.

She doesn't like these daughters-in-law. Before these daughters-in-law came to her, the sons were on the same side with her. Now, the sons are on the same side with their own daughters-in-law. So, no matter which one she likes, she doesn't like it.

But apart from the eldest brother's family, she looks down on the eldest brother, including his wife and their children!

Since it’s not her own child, she can’t bear to kiss him no matter how much she looks at him.

The eldest brother's family is in this house. If they eat a bite of rice, others will eat one bite less.

They'd better just work and not eat!

But fortunately, he had to leave soon.

"Mom, it's time to cook dinner. What are we going to do tonight?" Liu Xiao'e came out from the cubicle and knocked on the old couple's small door.

When Zhao Guifen heard what the second son's wife was saying, she wanted to vent her anger: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat! You earn three work points a day, what else do you want to eat? You'll eat the same thing tonight as you normally do, just like yesterday!"

Liu Xiao'e's expectations disappeared in an instant.

My eyes also turned red.

Who doesn’t want to eat something delicious at this time of year?

Besides, my mother-in-law didn’t even earn three work points.

Besides, don’t everyone get three work points?

Even her man is...

Why call her trash?

Inside the house, Wang Shoucheng glanced at the old woman and asked, "Are you still eating the same food as usual?"

"What's the big deal? We can eat anything after the eldest brother's family gets their food divided. Now, we have to eat what we normally eat. Besides, don't you see how much food we get? If you let them show off their food now, what will you do when you have to work in the spring?"

There is work in our village except in winter and the hottest days in summer.

Will you beg for food then?"

Zhao Guifen felt that she was completely right, this was how it was!

It’s not that she doesn’t feed the second and fifth children privately. The third and fourth children have money on their own. If they still starve themselves despite having money, they deserve it!

Anyway, she would never let the eldest brother's family take advantage of her again.

Wang Shoucheng had no way to refute it. Although he couldn't eat white rice, it was not impossible.

At least he has a small stove in private.

"Then give them some sweet potatoes. We can't just leave them nothing to eat. After all, the third and fourth children get more work points..."

Wang Shoucheng gave some advice.

Zhao Guifen thought for a moment and said, "Second son's wife, go get some of the newly distributed sweet potatoes. Each adult can eat one, and each child can have half a sweet potato. Each person can also have a bran cake, and the dish will be cabbage soup."

Outside, Liu Xiao'e felt a stomachache as she listened to these things.

Why do you eat this stuff every day?

We got so much food today, can't we eat something good?

"Attention, villagers of Xiahe Village, everyone, please pay attention. I am the team leader Chen Zhuangshi. I have something to report in the village now."

The radio starts.

Bai Xiu Xiu, who was eating snacks in the room, heard this and quickly opened a crack in the window.

"Regarding the incident in which Wang Shoucheng's daughter-in-law Zhou Jiaojiao, the fifth child of our village, bullied widow Xia in the mountains, she is now asked to read a self-reflection."

Soon, the voice was replaced by Zhou Jiaojiao's.

Zhou Jiaojiao was sitting in the radio studio in the brigade, looking even uglier than when she was eating coarse food at home.

She had thought of countless ways to become famous, but she had never thought of becoming famous this way!

"I'm Zhou Jiaojiao, the fifth child of Wang Shoucheng's family in Xiahe Village, and the wife of Wang Qingqi. I was in the mountains before, because of a verbal quarrel..."

"Explain clearly what you were arguing about and why." The captain corrected Zhou Jiaojiao unhappily.

Why doesn't she admit her mistake now?

Zhou Jiaojiao said again awkwardly: "About me in the mountains, saying that the wolfberries that Widow Xia saw were all mine."
