Chapter 18

So fast?

Bai Xiuxiu thought it would take until tomorrow! She calmly picked up the honeysuckle and put it back in the box, planning to dry it in the sun when she got back in the evening. After she had finished packing, she got off the kang and opened the door.

At the door, Zhao Guifen and the fifth son's wife Zhou Jiaojiao were blocking her door.

Zhou Jiaojiao looked into the room intently, wanting to see what Bai Xiu Xiu was busy with.

But to her disappointment, there was nothing in the house.

Zhao Guifen said coldly: "Don't stand there like an idiot, let's go to the mountain together. You are my sister-in-law, so you have to be more diligent and do more work!"

Bai Xiuxiu was happy when she heard this: "Mom, I'm really sick now. Uncle Zhang prescribed some medicine for me. I feel better after taking it, so I'm going to follow him to the mountain. If I go up the mountain and work too much and get tired, and then people in the village get angry, I won't care."

When this matter was mentioned, Zhao Guifen became so angry that her heart was about to explode.

If Bai Xiu Xiu really gets sick again, she will have no face left in this village!

Although she was not the only one in the village who treated her daughter-in-law badly, she was the only one who made trouble and was warned by the captain!

She didn't understand. She was just a daughter-in-law. If she died, she could just marry another one. Why should she be so expensive?

When she was a daughter-in-law, she was not expensive at all!

Zhao Guifen felt aggrieved, and when she looked at Bai Xiu Xiu again, her eyes were murderous.

But I still managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Then you should do less!"

Zhou Jiaojiao watched from the side, feeling unhappy. What did Bai Xiuxiu mean by "do less"? Should she do more? Isn't she just a patient? Why is she so precious?

But thinking that Bai Xiuxiu might be in trouble after going to the mountains, she felt much better: "Mom, don't worry. I'll let my sister-in-law follow me when we get to the mountain, and I'll take good care of her."

Zhao Guifen nodded: "Okay, you watch her."

She just didn't believe it. With the fifth brother's wife watching over her, how much more lazy could Bai Xiu Xiu be!

Bai Xiu Xiu looked at the two of them singing the same tune and sneered in her heart.

Are you kidding? How could she go with Bai Xiu Xiu!

He immediately said, "That's not necessary. The fifth wife looks skinny and can't take good care of me. I can just go with the third wife."

After Bai Xiu Xiu finished speaking, she locked the door and went out.

Zhou Jiaojiao was worried. She was not sure about her luck.

I just know that whoever goes into the mountains with her will get into trouble, but I'm not sure who it will be.

It's just that the people who are closest to her are usually the worst.

Bai Xiuxiu insisted on not following her, so she...

Forget it, second sister-in-law will do.

She doesn't like any of these sisters-in-law.

Sooner or later she will be able to step on all her sisters-in-law to achieve her own goals.

It’s not just today that we’re going up the mountain.

Looking back, Bai Xiu Xiu saw what she had gained in the mountains and naturally wanted to follow her!

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiaojiao felt relieved again.

After leaving the house, Bai Xiuxiu immediately found Zhao Cuihua and said, "Third sister-in-law, we are going into the mountains later. Let's go together. I am still sick. Let's take care of me together."

Zhao Cuihua was stunned when she heard this, but she also knew that it would be easy to get lost if she walked alone into the mountains. Besides, her sister-in-law seemed more open-minded than her other sisters-in-law!

Take the matter of dividing the money for example. If it wasn’t for her sister-in-law’s reminder, she really would not have thought of it!

Thinking about it, Zhao Cuihua said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go with my sister-in-law."

A group of five people went out.

It didn't take long to discover that many families in the village had sent their family members to the mountains, but most of them were old ladies with a group of children.

There is no point for children to work, and the old lady works slowly, so she can't get many work points, and can't bring much benefit to the family. It's better to go to the mountains! Dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms in the mountains. If you come across medicinal herbs, you will make money.

It's better than working at home.

Except for the male laborers in the village who have to go to work, everyone else has free time.

Once you enter the mountains, you will find that there are more people than wild vegetables!

As soon as they entered the mountain, Zhou Jiaojiao, who had been quiet on the road, spoke up: "Sister-in-law, why don't we all go together? This way we can take care of each other."

She still wanted to increase the chances of bringing bad luck to Bai Xiu Xiu!

After saying this, Zhou Jiaojiao looked at Bai Xiu Xiu eagerly.

Looking at her expression, Bai Xiu Xiu sneered in her heart. Her fifth brother's wife really disliked her!

Bai Xiuxiu pretended to be exhausted and refused, "Forget it. What can we get with so many people going together? I am already too tired to go up the mountain. Fifth sister-in-law, you can take the others with you."

The third daughter-in-law will stay here with me for now, and we will walk slowly together."

Zhao Cuihua really wanted to refuse! Isn't it too fast for the elder sister-in-law to become weak?

But she couldn't refuse directly, as her sister-in-law seemed to be someone who was not easy to deal with these past two days!

Seeing that she insisted, Zhou Jiaojiao seemed to be unable to persuade her. Although it was a pity, she could only do this for the time being: "Okay, then we'll go first."

As soon as they took a step forward, Bai Xiuxiu followed closely and climbed up the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, what are we going to do?" Zhao Cuihua was confused.

Aren't you tired?

"Find a good spot and see where they are going. If you don't want to follow me, third wife, you can just go by yourself." Bai Xiu Xiu said and continued to climb.

Zhao Cuihua was speechless for a while. She wanted to leave, but she had already promised her sister-in-law!

Moreover, she always felt that her sister-in-law had some plan, and she might get some benefits by following her.

Zhao Cuihua followed Bai Xiuxiu up the mountain.

From their position, they could also see Zhou Jiaojiao and her group.

Bai Xiu Xiu determined the other party's position and prepared to follow him closely all the way.

She wanted to see how unlucky the people who followed Zhou Jiaojiao were!

The two groups of people moved one after the other.

After a while, the second daughter-in-law Liu Xiao'e, who was walking with Zhou Jiaojiao, fell flat on the ground and landed directly in a mud pit.

Zhao Cuihua almost couldn't hold back her laughter!

She has never gotten along well with her second sister-in-law and the fourth son's wife! She was so happy to see her second sister-in-law in trouble.

However, before she could calm down, Liu Xiao'e, who had just climbed out of the mud pit, slipped and fell back. She panicked and grabbed the clothes of two people beside her tightly.

The fourth son’s wife, Chen Fang, and Zhou Jiaojiao were both pulled down.

This time, bad luck struck her, and her head hit a stone in the mud pit.

Then there were bursts of screams.

Not only Zhao Cuihua was stunned, but Bai Xiuxiu was also surprised.

This...isn't it a bit too bad?

Is this the case right after entering the mountain?

How many lives are enough for Zhou Jiaojiao to harm?

"Why are they so unlucky?" Zhao Cuihua looked at the three people like mud monkeys, and she was still frightened! Fortunately, she followed her sister-in-law, otherwise her clothes would be dirty, and she would not know what to wear tomorrow.

"Second sister-in-law? Second sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Over there, Zhou Jiaojiao screamed in surprise.
