Chapter 25
"But...the things we picked up from the mountain?" Zhao Cuihua was still thinking about getting rich with Bai Xiuxiu!
Bai Xiuxiu refused on the spot: "That one trip is enough. If you want to save more pocket money next time, then go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms. But don't go into the mountains, look at your second sister-in-law and the fourth son's wife."
Thinking of those two, Zhao Cuihua felt pain all over her body!
It’s so terrible!
"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that they will divide the spoils privately?" Zhao Cuihua couldn't understand why her sister-in-law didn't take the usual path.
Bai Xiu Xiusi is not afraid at all!
"What are you afraid of? No one can hide anything here with me! You have to follow me up the mountain every now and then, so don't let anyone fool you." Bai Xiu Xiu automatically pulled her into her camp.
After all, the benefits you get from following her are not for nothing!
Zhao Cuihua was completely confused, and always felt like she was on a pirate ship!
After returning home, Bai Xiu Xiu took out the new fabric that she had prepared to make clothes for the two children and began to cut the patterns.
Oh, by the way, if we count the days, my elder sister and mother should mail something to her soon! I remember that in the last life, there was wool among the things that were mailed to her at this time!
It seems that they got a batch of defective wool and sold it to you at a low price without asking for an invoice.
My mother and elder sister made some for her.
No, she has to go to the county tomorrow, so she needs to call her elder sister and ask her elder sister to give her more mail.
What she had in her previous life was only enough for her and her two children. This time she also had to knit a set of sweaters and trousers for Wang Qinghe.
When she first married Wang Qinghe, she simply wanted to live a comfortable life.
Even when she died, there was no love or affection to speak of.
The reason why I really like this man is because I have seen him over the past few decades, how he has spent his entire life trying to avenge her and vent his anger.
Even after she died, he never looked for her again.
Her heart is not made of stone. If he is sincere to her, she must respond in some way.
At night.
The Wang family’s conference table...oh no, the dining table.
The family learned from many previous lessons and ate first. After the meal, Wang Qingqi showed everyone the money for the herbs he and his elder brother sold today: "Today, my elder brother and I went to sell those astragalus, and the pharmacy gave us a price of one yuan per pound.
There were more than 30 kilograms of astragalus in total, and the pharmacy calculated 35 kilograms for us.
Plus other loose medicinal herbs, he gave me fifteen yuan.
I took fifty yuan in total, and ten grocery coupons."
When Zhao Guifen saw so much money, she almost fainted from happiness.
When he saw the food coupons, he grabbed them and said, "I'll save this for the New Year shopping."
The whole family had no objection, after all, the things were in Zhao Guifen's hands.
Wang Qingqi handed the money to his biological father Wang Shoucheng.
Wang Shoucheng looked at his son with satisfaction, then pretended to take out twenty-five yuan and said, "Old woman, five yuan here is ours, and the remaining twenty yuan is for everyone in the family. Keep it."
Then he gave five dollars to each of his five sons.
Although everyone has some private money, not many people take it out so openly.
And it’s only five dollars all at once!
Zhao Cuihua couldn't stop smiling because the price of the astragalus reminded her of the pile of it at home.
Bai Xiuxiu kept the money.
Everyone in the family has different thoughts.
Zhao Guifen coughed and then talked about what she had discussed with the fifth son's wife: "Recently, the second and fourth son's wives are injured and can't go up the mountain. But we can't miss the opportunity to go up the mountain. I think starting tomorrow, the eldest son's wife, you, the third son's wife, me, and the fifth son's wife should go up the mountain together."
"Mom, I was just about to say this. Today, my third daughter-in-law accompanied me to Uncle Zhang's place. Uncle Zhang said that if I get any more tired, I might die. This is related to my life. If I die, and you let me go up the mountain, then you are deliberately killing your daughter-in-law.
By then, you might even have to go to jail.”
There was still a smile on Bai Xiu Xiu's face.
Go up the mountain? Not at all! She had already obtained the medicinal seeds she wanted, and also confirmed Zhou Jiaojiao's situation. Most importantly, she could already share a portion of what Zhou Jiaojiao had obtained. There was no need to go up the mountain!
When Zhao Guifen heard what Bai Jiaojiao said, she was furious: "What? Haven't you pretended to be sick enough?"
"Mom, what do you mean by that? When did Xiuxiu pretend to be sick? Everyone in the village knew that she was not feeling well and fainted on the ground. Yesterday you did not let her rest properly and insisted that she follow you up the mountain. Her condition has worsened today..."
You must have her dead to be content?"
Wang Qinghe's face turned cold. He didn't know whether Uncle Zhang's words were true or false, but no matter whether they were true or false, he had to go back and discuss it with Xiuxiu and go to the hospital to check the situation.
"You! I'm your mother! You trained me for a vixen?" Zhao Guifen was so shocked that she began to doubt her life.
"Enough! Why do you say such harsh words?" Wang Shoucheng, who was just about to ask his sons to be quiet for a while, had a splitting headache.
After scolding his wife, he said to Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu: "Since you are sick, you should take a good rest. We are not a mean family. When the food in the village is sold and the money is paid to us, you can take your wife to the county to see a doctor."
"Okay." Wang Qinghe had a cold face and his tone made people feel chilly.
Zhao Guifen, who was standing by, became even angrier when she heard that her old man wanted her eldest son's wife to go to the county for a check-up.
On what basis?
She has never gone to the county for a physical examination, so why is Bai Xiuxiu more valuable than anyone else?
"What about going up the mountain? There are so many good things in the mountains, are we just not going there?" Zhao Guifen was unwilling.
"You and the fifth brother's wife can go." Wang Shoucheng glanced at his old wife.
She has been stupid all her life!
When had the family ever picked up so many good things before? Tomorrow she would go with Lao Wu's wife to see if this child was lucky. If so, she could also help Lao Wu hide some things.
He said he would take it back and share it among the whole family, but can he really divide it all?
Zhao Guifen felt unhappy when she thought about following her young daughter-in-law. Wouldn't that mean she would have to work too?
"Mom, I'll come too. The three of us will be well taken care of in the mountains. Look at the second and fourth sisters-in-law." Zhao Cuihua became anxious when she saw her mother-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law going up the mountain together.
Are you kidding? She is the mother-in-law? She must have hidden all the things.
She had to follow him into the mountains.
"That's good enough." Zhao Guifen was satisfied.
Wang Shoucheng: …
Zhou Jiaojiao, who had been thinking of hiding something, suddenly became dispirited.
In my heart, I cursed my mother-in-law for being so stupid.
After the family had discussed it, they all left.
When she returned to the house, Bai Xiu Xiu was met with her man's serious expression.
Bai Xiuxiu was confused: "What's wrong with you?"
