Chapter 21
"I'm going to sell this ginseng. We didn't dig it well, so the later we sell it, the more losses we'll suffer. We'd better sell it sooner. As for the money..." Bai Xiu Xiu didn't finish her words.
Zhao Cuihua said, "Sister-in-law, just give me 30%! You're the one who made the decision today. I still know my own limitations!"
Zhao Cuihua felt pain in her flesh, but for the sake of future benefits, she could only grit her teeth and persevere!
Bai Xiu Xiu was very surprised that the third son's wife was really sensible.
How come such a considerate person didn't try to please Zhou Jiaojiao in his previous life?
Among the brothers of the Wang family, Zhao Cuihua and her husband lived the worst.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't know why she disliked Zhao Cuihua so much. After they became rich, they left the third brother's family in the county town near their hometown, while everyone else ran away to the big city.
Later, the Wang family became richer and richer, but Zhao Cuihua and her husband's life was never very good.
This is another reason why she is willing to contact Zhao Cuihua.
"Just do as you said. I'll let my man sell the things later. If you're worried, just ask your man to come along." Bai Xiu Xiu said.
"No! Sister-in-law, don't tell our third son about our affairs!" Zhao Cuihua hurriedly stopped her.
Just kidding. I told the third brother about it, but with his temper, I don't know what he would do with the money.
She was saving it for her son in the future.
"Okay." Bai Xiu Xiu was not curious about why she asked for this. As long as it didn't interfere with her own business, it would be fine.
After getting the ginseng, Bai Xiu Xiu didn't plan to stay in the mountains anymore.
Now they followed Zhou Jiaojiao and had actually entered the mountains. This was not a good thing!
Zhou Jiaojiao is a koi, which means she has good luck.
She and Zhao Cuihua didn't have any, so if they ran into some poisonous snake or ferocious beast, wouldn't they die here?
"Let's go back and wait at the bottom of the mountain."
Bai Xiu Xiu said.
Zhao Cuihua understood what he meant.
On the way back, the two of them picked up a lot of mushrooms and dug up a bunch of wild vegetables.
And all the medicinal herbs were packed up and hidden on their bodies.
The mushrooms in the mountains could be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative and sold for money, but every year they were controlled by their mother-in-law, Zhao Guifen, so if they wanted to keep some for themselves, they could only hide it in their clothes.
Although the fabric is expensive, among the Wang family's daughters-in-law, except for the fifth daughter-in-law who just got married, each of them has several layers of large hidden pockets!
Bai Xiu Xiu is no exception.
Fortunately, the medicinal herbs they found were easy to store.
The two of them were just hanging around the mountain.
After waiting for two hours, it was almost dark when we saw Zhou Jiaojiao and the other two come back.
After seeing them, Bai Xiu Xiu was even more surprised.
When they saw Chen Fang just now, she was just limping, but now she had a big wound on her face, which almost hurt her eye. She didn't know how her face was injured, and her clothes were also scratched.
Looks very wolfish.
There were also injuries on the arms.
Liu Xiao'e who was standing by was in an even worse situation. She had been dragged along by these two people all the way. Her face was pale and she looked like she would fall down at any moment!
Compared to them, Zhou Jiaojiao looks the most evil.
Because the two of them were half dead, Zhou Jiaojiao saw that there was not even a speck of dust on their bodies.
As we got closer to the mountain, there were more people around.
They looked at the strange combination of three people and couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
Chen Fang and Liu Xiao'e were injured and looked listless, but after seeing Bai Xiuxiu and Zhao Cuihua, they became much more energetic: "Sister-in-law, how did you two harvest?"
The person who asked this question was Liu Xiao'e.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Jiaojiao beside her immediately looked over.
She is curious too!
Hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu calmly handed them the basket in her hand and said, "Don't mention it. It's unlucky. There's nothing here. I just picked some mushrooms. But this is not bad. I can at least exchange it for a few cents when I go back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xiao'e became unhappy. Is this all? These things will have to be included in the household account later.
So they are going to share it with Bai Xiu Xiu and the others?
How is that possible?
How much suffering she has endured!
"Why did you only pick up these few things? Don't be lazy, right?" Chen Fang was also dissatisfied after seeing this. She was straightforward and asked directly.
Bai Xiuxiu looked aggrieved: "What are you talking about? Fourth brother's wife, aren't you wrongly accusing me? Your third sister-in-law and I have worn out our shoes! There are more people than things on this mountain, and it's good enough to be able to pick up these. If you don't believe me, look at the others.
Is it the same as us?
What? How else can you be different? "
Bai Xiu Xiu said it with full of righteousness.
Zhao Cuihua, who was listening to this, was in awe! She wanted to kowtow to Bai Xiuxiu right there and then.
Sister-in-law, she... is such a good actress!
Seeing Bai Xiuxiusi's complete ignorance of the truth, Chen Fang also kept silent. Even if the eldest sister-in-law loves to be lazy, the third sister-in-law won't.
Are they really lucky?
They...
Chen Fang looked at herself, then at her equally unlucky second sister-in-law. She fell into deep thought, is this really good luck?
When Zhou Jiaojiao heard that they didn't pick up anything, she was very proud: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is right. It is indeed difficult to find things in this mountain. We can find a lot of things, which is actually luck. I have always had good luck. Why don't the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law follow me next time."
"You say that as if you picked up some treasure. Besides, even if you did pick up something good, it's all the credit of you three."
Zhao Cuihua looked disgusted.
Then start teasing.
At this moment, she already understood! If she followed her sister-in-law, she could eat nine meals a day!
As soon as Zhao Cuihua finished speaking, Chen Fang and Liu Xiao'e, who was about to faint, looked unhappy.
Is the fifth brother's wife trying to take credit for the work?
Zhou Jiaojiao looked embarrassed: "I...I didn't mean that..."
"Alright, let's talk about it when we get home. I don't know what good things you picked up, but I know that if you don't go home, your second son's wife will probably be dead! How did you end up like this? Hurry and go home first.
Third son’s wife, fifth son’s wife, each of you should support one.”
Bai Xiu Xiu interrupted Zhou Jiaojiao and stopped her from explaining.
And assign tasks to them.
Helping others is tiring and useless, she doesn't want to do it at all!
Zhou Jiaojiao looked unhappy. Bai Xiuxiu said nicely, but she herself did nothing.
A group of five people returned to the village in a mighty procession.
Because Chen Fang and Liu Xiao'e looked so spectacular, they were surrounded by people as soon as they returned to the village.
Everyone who sees him asks a few questions.
I heard that they fell down in the mountains, and they all said that they were so unlucky.
After a long journey, we finally got home.
Zhao Guifen is resting at home and drinking water! There is a rocking chair in her yard, usually no one sits on it because everyone is busy. Now she is the only one at home looking after three children!
Let the two maids who paid for the job, one to wash clothes and the other to take care of the third brother's son.
I was so happy.
However, the moment the door was opened, Zhao Guifen immediately sat up straight.
