Chapter 278
Wang Shoucheng coughed twice and cleared his throat. "My dear, Old Fifth Wife, why didn't I hear Qingqi say that you wanted to go back to the village? You didn't tell him, did you? He is your man, you should have discussed it with him.
I can't just listen to you on everything.
I have no objection if you want to go home to see your mother, but..."
Before Wang Shoucheng finished speaking, Zhou Jiaojiao was already unhappy. She glared at her man.
Wang Qingqi was so nervous being stared at that he could only lie: "Well, Dad, you misunderstood. Jiaojiao told me. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to go back? My wife is lucky. What if she can get some ginseng or something in the mountains?"
Wang Shoucheng was also tempted when he thought about the extra income.
He looked at the fifth daughter-in-law, then at his own son, and thought for a while: "That's fine, but you don't have to accompany us to the mountains. Let your second, third, and fourth sisters-in-law accompany us."
If more people go, maybe your luck will be better?
As for the sons, of course they couldn't go.
If you get injured, you won't be able to go to work. The fifth brother's wife is such a weird person.
He was worried about letting his sons go with him.
Wang Shoucheng's thoughts were all clear.
Zhou Jiaojiao sneered twice and said nothing.
After all, he had abandoned his mother-in-law without any guilt at all, and directly put all the sins on her.
Not to mention others.
Also preparing to return to the village are Bai Xiu Xiu and Wang Qinghe.
Wutong Street, the home of Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe.
Bai Xiu Xiu was preparing to go back to the village tomorrow to see what Aunt Jin Hua was going to bring, as well as the gift prepared for Old Man Zhang.
Plus some things she and Wang Qinghe were going to bring up the mountain.
Outside, Wang Qinghe was chopping wood.
Bai Xiu Xiu turned on the radio that she had bought in the house half a month ago and listened to something.
Mrs. Wei was helping her daughter pack the things she was going to take back to the village. Seeing how much she had brought, she couldn't help laughing: "If someone didn't know you, they would think you had traveled a long way to bring so many things."
"We may leave the county someday, and I won't have much time to visit Aunt Jinhua. Aunt Jinhua usually takes good care of me.
Without her, I wouldn't have my current job.
There is no room for further advancement.
So I have to bring her some more stuff.”
When it comes to Auntie Jinhua, Bai Xiuxiu can't express her gratitude enough.
Mrs. Wei had heard her own daughter talk about him several times, and she also thought that he was a warm-hearted and kind person.
"You have to say goodbye to them properly. Even if you go far away, don't lose contact with them. By the way, today is New Year's Day, and we have to make dumplings.
I'll go and knead the dough later, don't push all the work onto your son-in-law alone."
Mrs. Wei also felt happy in her heart. Her two daughters had had a hard life since childhood, but they met many good people after growing up.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Xiu Xiu packed up her things and started to work with her mother.
I'm not at work right now, so I eat early at home.
After eating New Year’s Day dumplings in the evening, the family had fun for a while and then went to bed early.
But the provincial capital is very bustling right now.
In the evening, after the He family had eaten New Year's Day dumplings, Qi Yingying was dragged by her son to the home of his future father-in-law to discuss something.
Qi Yingying was not very happy about going to Xu's house today.
Why can't it come?
Do we have to rush to this time?
As soon as they arrived at Xu's house, Qi Yingying became even less happy.
Although she had been here once before, the last time she came, although the Xu family's house was shabby, it was still clean. This time, it seemed as if they didn't even need to pretend.
The house is a mess.
Qi Yingying frowned as she watched.
"Aunt Qi." Xu Niandi had been waiting since early morning. When he saw her coming, he hurried over to greet her.
She smiled widely: "Aunt Qi, my parents are waiting for you in the house. By the way, where is Uncle He? Isn't he coming today?"
"Your Uncle He is busy and has gone to bed early. Anyway, both families have said everything that needs to be said. I came here today just to talk about your new proposal for the bride price. And...that job." Speaking of work, Qi Yingying really wanted to get angry.
She didn't want to help with this job at first.
After all, it’s okay to help your daughter-in-law, but can you help outsiders?
That won't work.
But...she couldn't help but hear her son whispering those words.
Only then did he agree without hesitation.
Qi Yingying stepped into the Xu family's door and began to regret having agreed so readily before.
She shouldn't have agreed to it, and should have even called off the marriage.
A new round of quarrels began in Xu's house.
Early morning.
Bai Xiu Xiu sat on the back seat of Wang Qinghe's bicycle early in the morning and followed him back to the village.
Her house had already been sold to Aunt Jinhua's sister, so when she came back this time, she went straight to Aunt Jinhua's house.
It's winter now and it's New Year's Day.
Chen Jinhua didn't go to work today. She was tidying the yard at home.
"Auntie Jinhua." Bai Xiu Xiu greeted her as soon as she got off her bike.
When Chen Jinhua saw Bai Xiuxiu, she also smiled: "Hey, Xiuxiu! How long has it been since you came to see me? And Qinghe, you two should go inside and talk. It's very cold outside."
Chen Jinhua called both of them into the house.
Seeing what Wang Qinghe was carrying, she was a little unhappy: "You're here, why are you carrying things?"
"Auntie, it's a rare opportunity for us to come and see you, we can't just come here without taking anything. Besides, we don't know how many times we can come here in the future." Bai Xiu Xiu said as she gave all the bacon, eggs and other things she brought to Chen Jin Hua.
Chen Jinhua was stunned: "What? What happened to you?"
As for Chen Jinhua, Bai Xiuxiu also did not hide the bad things that the Wang family had done.
She and Wang Qinghe chatted with each other, and if she missed something, Wang Qinghe would add a few words.
After saying this, Chen Jinhua was so angry that she almost rushed to Lao Wang's family to settle the score.
"What kind of people are these? They are lucky they ran away quickly. Otherwise, I would have taught them a lesson! I've seen evil-hearted people, but I've never seen people so evil-hearted. Fortunately, you are living a good life now." Chen Jinhua said, and felt a little sorry for the young couple.
There aren't many people who really care about this young couple.
Although I have my biological parents in the provincial capital, they already have other children.
Even if they go back, their lives won't be much better.
After all, you haven't been around for so many years...
"Jiaojiao, Qinghe, if you two are unhappy in the provincial capital in the future, just come back. There is always a place for you in our village!" Chen Jinhua's eyes were red.
Bai Xiuxiu was also moved when she heard this: "Okay."
"Wife, guess who I saw coming back from the village entrance?" The captain's voice rang out outside.
