Chapter 172
Qi Yingying controlled her temper, controlled her tone, and tried her best not to get angry.
"Weiwei, did you go to the blind date that mom arranged for you? The father of the child has a good relationship with your dad. I heard that you were planning to find a partner, so I took the initiative to tell mom. How was it? Did you two have a good conversation?"
Qi Yingying sat next to her daughter, but as soon as she sat down, the little girl who was sitting next to her suddenly dropped her notebook.
The silly smile on her face gradually turned into collapse: "Who asked you to introduce me to a blind date? You made me misunderstand the person I like! Do you know that I would rather die without him? Are you my biological mother? You are basically a stepmother, you want me to die.
Whoever wants to meet me can meet me. Anyway, don’t look for me.”
After saying this, He Wei went upstairs to her room. The sound of the door slamming made the already quiet home even quieter.
Qi Yingying looked unhappy after being scolded by her daughter.
Then he looked at his second son who didn't move, and sighed: "Your sister is ignorant. He Cheng, you should make mom proud, right? You can't always be outdone by He Tian, right? Look at your dad recently, he praises him every time he comes home.
If this continues, our family will be…"
Before she finished speaking, her son who was lying down sat up.
He doesn't look much like his mother. He looks quite handsome and probably looks a little more like his father.
With her brows furrowed and her dark eyes showing irritability, she said impatiently, "Mom, you keep nagging me. Will you ever stop? Recently, you've either been nagging about your lost eldest son or about He Tian, your third uncle's brother.
How come he is better than me?
How did my uncle help him? How did my dad help him? Can't you at least be considerate of me and ask my dad to find me a good job?"
"You!" Qi Yingying was speechless after being scolded.
He could only look at his third son awkwardly.
He Ming, who was eating canned food, choked: "Ahem, Mom, you are not going to scold me again, are you? I think I am fine. By the way, Mom, do you have money? Give me some money? I want to go out for a walk."
Qi Yingying was upset by the trouble made by these three children. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but she couldn't bear not to give the money.
He took out fifty yuan and said, "Is this enough?"
He Ming took them away immediately: "These are enough."
After saying that, he ran out of the house in a flash.
Seeing that his younger brother got the money, He Cheng was not to be outdone: "Mom, why do you only give this money to the third child? I have to have some too. Even though I am a little older than him, you can't be partial to me, right?"
Qi Yingying just felt that she had committed a sin to meet these children.
She had no choice but to take out the money again.
She and Lao He's salary was not low, but they still couldn't spend a hundred yuan at once without feeling pain or itchiness, after all, the money was wasted on the two children.
I don’t know what the eldest one she lost looks like. He should be much more obedient than these three, right?
After all, there aren't many good conditions for keeping a good figure outside.
Even though she never raised the child, it doesn't necessarily mean she has all three relatives.
But after all, they were a family, and the child had never seen much of the world. If she gave him some benefits, he would naturally become close to her. If he could succeed in the future, she would also have face, and the three children would also be protected.
If I have no future...
Lao He also always thinks about that child and wishes he could be found.
Let Lao He find a job for him, and then he can give the job to the second brother.
Although it's unfair to him to do this, his family will always be able to compensate him in the future.
No matter what, finding the child back will benefit the family and himself.
Besides, she still wants to have children.
Even without these three relatives, he is still her biological child.
Of course she kissed him too.
Qi Yingying was in a state of confusion. She was picking vegetables while thinking about looking for her son.
It was getting dark.
In Xiahe Village, villagers gradually came out of the mountains, and they all had harvests in their hands. Although the harvests were mixed, the total number was not small.
The team leader had been waiting in the brigade's courtyard since early morning. When he saw so many medicinal herbs, the smile on his face never faded.
"Okay, okay, everyone has worked hard. Let's go to the mountains early tomorrow. Let other people in the village process and dry these herbs, and then send them to the county pharmacy. Don't worry, we have consulted the commune about this matter.
All we have to do is go to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs."
The captain's words also made everyone very motivated.
In the crowd, Wang Laosan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were not many of these things.
I don’t know how the fifth brother’s wife found so many medicinal herbs in the mountains. It’s really weird. Why can’t other people find them?
So many people went up the mountain, and this is all they got.
It seems that the fifth brother’s wife is really not an ordinary person?
Wang Laosan's expression was seen by Bai Xiuxiu, who was recording the medicinal materials, and she also thought of something.
So he walked over to Aunt Jinhua who came to help, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Aunt Jinhua was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
"Auntie, the people in the village didn't know they could get so many medicinal herbs before. Now that they know, there will definitely be people who want to sneak into the mountains at night or early in the morning. By then, everyone will want to get the things themselves. Who will still be motivated?
It would be better to find a few people to guard the area near the mountain, so that we can ensure that no one has any selfish motives in the mountain during the day."
Bai Xiu Xiu explained why she wanted people to block the way there.
Of course, if she wants to hide something, she can do whatever she wants. She just wants to be a little bit shy.
Given the tempers of Lao Wang's family and Zhou Jiaojiao's personality, it was impossible for them not to secretly bring some more herbs home.
Zhou Jiaojiao probably regarded everything in the mountains as her own. How could she be willing to watch others take them away?
After listening to it, Chen Jinhua also felt that it made sense. At least it was better to be able to control it a little.
Most importantly, how dangerous is it to go into the mountains at night?
Her husband did this to make life better for the villagers. If anyone else gets into danger because of this, it will still be her husband who will be held responsible.
Wouldn't it be more loss than gain by then?
Thinking of this, Chen Jinhua was so grateful to Bai Xiuxiu that she was simply unable to express it in words.
She kept patting Bai Xiuxiu's hands until tears welled up in her eyes: "Xiuxiu, you...you are such a good child. I don't know how to thank you. Everyone is doing this for their own benefit, but you are thinking about me and your uncle. I'll go talk to your uncle Chen first."
Chen Jinhua hurriedly ran to find the captain.
Chen Zhuangshi had just mobilized the villagers and was about to say a few more words before letting them disperse, but then he saw his wife running over.
"Why are you here?" Chen Zhuangshi frowned, wondering what his wife was doing here.
