Chapter 12
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?" Zhao Guifen cursed.
Looking at his eldest daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but get angry!
Of all the daughters-in-law in the family, only the eldest daughter-in-law is disobedient! Isn't it just because she has a good-looking face that she flirts with the eldest son every day? Let him get used to it?
How can a married woman not listen to her mother-in-law?
Bai Xiuxiu carried the two children into Wang Qinghe's arms, and then she took the time to look at her: "How could it be that I am deaf? Aren't you and Lao Wu's wife deaf? Why am I sitting idle at home? I am recuperating at home!
If people in our village saw that I was not working and was wandering in the mountains instead, wouldn't they say that I was faking illness to avoid work?
Do you want to save face for your family?"
"you!"
Zhao Guifen was speechless and just glared at her fiercely.
Bai Xiuxiu didn't even want to look at her! She took the child and went out.
Zhou Jiaojiao was unhappy when she saw that the plan had failed. "Mom, what my sister-in-law said is right. Why don't we go after the autumn harvest is over? As for the job, I'll go back to my parents' house and talk about it. But don't refuse."
"You are still sensible." Zhao Guifen felt relieved when she heard that she was going back to her parents' home to think of a solution.
This is what a daughter-in-law is!
People like Bai Xiuxiu are such bad things! She dresses neatly, has clothes without patches for all seasons, and buys herself a new one every year!
What does a woman have to wear?
So many men in Lao Wang’s family are wearing clothes with patches!
It’s better to die early!
Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe carried the two children back to the house. Wang Qinghe folded the quilt on the kang and poured her some hot water.
Bai Xiuxiu gave each of the two children a piece of White Rabbit candy as usual, glanced at her husband, and stuffed one into his mouth as well: "From now on, you are not allowed to listen to anything they say. You are not allowed to work for them, and we don't need to go to the mountains to hunt for money.
The most important thing now is that our family lives a good life, which is more important than anything else!"
Wang Qinghe's expression became even gentler after hearing her heartfelt words.
He hugged her and rubbed her neck. After a while, he let go: "I'll listen to you. I'll go to work first. I'll accompany you to Uncle Zhang's place for a checkup at noon. You suddenly fainted, so we can't be careless."
"I'll go by myself." Bai Xiu Xiu decisively refused!
She was free at home during the day and she didn't want to wait for more than ten days to get the medicinal herbs.
She planned to try her luck with Uncle Zhang first. No matter what kind of medicinal herb seeds it was, as long as she could get some to take home, it would be fine.
She had to make sure whether this golden finger worked as well in her hands as it did in Zhou Jiaojiao's!
Wang Qinghe was a little worried.
He had the same dream recently. In the dream, Xiuxiu died, and the huge loneliness afterwards drove him crazy. The dream at night made him want to stick to Xiuxiuan even more after seeing her during the day.
Only when she was in front of him could he feel at ease.
"You think you're going to disobey me now?" Bai Xiu Xiu asked him unhappily when she saw that he had to accompany her.
"I'll listen to you. You're not allowed to get near water." Wang Qinghe reminded again.
"Big brother? What are you still doing? Get to work!" Mother-in-law Zhao Guifen shouted from outside.
Even though there is a lot of noise in the morning, Wang Qinghe is absolutely indispensable for going to work.
"Okay, I know everything. Go to work quickly and remember to come back after you finish your work. Don't worry about them." Bai Xiu Xiu also reminded him, looking at his thin figure and thinking about what he would look like when he became rich.
I just feel that he is really suffering now!
So, she gave him a piece of the trough cake out of pity: "Eat it before you leave."
Wang Qinghe finished his meal in two bites, and even his eyes started to become tearful.
She has long and beautiful eyes and a charming smile.
Not long after he left, Bai Xiu Xiu also went out with her two children!
The gate to the Wang family's yard is usually not locked.
However, each door in the house has its own lock.
Bai Xiuxiu locked her house and held a baby in one hand.
The two children are wearing clothes that were made just last year. Floral fabrics are hard to find! Looking at her two lovely babies, Bai Xiuxiu is in a particularly good mood!
But... this dress is too eye-catching. I'll try to find a different color later.
Anyway, this dress is getting too small, so I’ll alter it and make something else when winter comes.
When she brought her two children to the village clinic, she happened to catch up with the team leader's wife, Chen Jinhua, who was getting medicine. Sure enough, she was here! Starting this year, the team leader's wife would come every morning to get medicine for her sister. Her sister had a chronic illness a few years ago and had been married for five years but still had no children.
There are few people in the village who don’t know about it!
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu, she was a little surprised: "Xiuxiu? I heard you fainted yesterday, why aren't you well yet?"
Chen Jinhua is a cheerful woman with her hair in a low ponytail. She looks to be in her forties, with big eyes. She speaks very fast and is very enthusiastic.
Bai Xiuxiu nodded, looking embarrassed: "Isn't it? Uncle Zhang said I have to take care of it for more than ten days."
Old man Zhang, who was prescribing medicine at the side, was silent for a while, but who made his family owe Wang Qing and that kid a favor?
Moreover, the Wang family favors their other sons and treats the eldest son as if he were raised by a stepmother.
If the wife wants to hide away for a few days, then let her do it, right?
After thinking for a while, Old Zhang continued her words: "She is very weak and overworked. If she is not well taken care of, she will have difficulty in having children in the future."
The captain's wife was also shocked when she heard this: "This is a lifelong thing, you have to take care of me. Don't worry, I'll explain it to the villagers later. Don't let them think you're trying to avoid labor."
"Then, thank you, Aunt Jinhua." Bai Xiu Xiu hurriedly thanked her. This is what she wanted!
Her husband doesn't talk much in front of outsiders, and no one will gossip about him. As for the other people in the family? If they don't splash dirty water on her, they are not Wang's family!
"What's there to thank for? I'm going back first. You have to listen to Lao Zhang and take good care of me!"
After everyone left in a hurry, Bai Xiuxiu explained the purpose of his visit: "Uncle Zhang, I have something I want to ask you for help."
Old Zhang was taking notes. When he heard her asking for help, he looked at her in confusion and asked, "What?"
"Uncle Zhang, do we have any medicinal herb seeds here? I've been teaching my two kids how to grow things these past two days. I'll buy as many as you want, no matter what kind of medicinal herb seeds you want. Vegetable seeds are also good, but it's hard to explain to my parents-in-law if I buy vegetable seeds at this time of year.
I just want to buy a few from you."
Bai Xiu Xiu made up an excuse.
Whatever she grows, she won’t sell it in the village, so she doesn’t have to worry about being discovered.
