Chapter 280
But his wife's eyes were staring holes into his back, and he felt that if he refused, she would have a big fight with him.
And there are too many people in the family who need nutritional supplements.
He couldn't say no.
"Will this be too much trouble for you?" Chen Zhuangshi was a little worried.
"It's not difficult. There are only Xiuxiu and I, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her. And with more people, we can try to catch large prey if we encounter one. Uncle Chen, Aunt Jinhua, I can't find many people I can trust in this village.
If you are willing to pay for us to go, I would be grateful to you enough."
Wang Qinghe saw him wavering and immediately spoke.
Chen Zhuangshi had never seen Wang Qinghe so talkative before. Seeing him like this, he also smiled and said, "You kid, who usually doesn't say a word, can now speak so well. Uncle Chen knows that you want to help me and your aunt, and I appreciate your kindness.
Let’s go to the mountains together.”
Chen Zhuangshi didn't want to take this favor for granted just because of his status as an elder.
They also don't want the other party to coax them, so they just give in half-heartedly.
If they took advantage, then they took advantage.
Later, when the two children go to the provincial capital, they will bring them some more dried vegetables that are only available in the village.
It's okay to go and see them more often.
Chen Zhuangshi quickly thought it through: "Wife, let's pack up and follow Qinghe and Xiaobai up the mountain."
Chen Jinhua was also very happy: "You finally said something nice. I've been annoyed by you these past few days. Wait, I'll go pack up and bring the food I prepared this morning. We can just eat something in the mountains. Oh, and there's water."
Chen Jinhua was busy for a while before everyone set off.
At the same time, the Wang family packed up their things and prepared to go into the mountains.
The ones who went to the mountain today were several daughters-in-law. Wang Shoucheng stared at them, feeling uneasy: "We don't allow people to hide things. If any of you hides something good..."
"Dad, don't worry." Zhou Jiaojiao didn't like what Wang Shoucheng said.
Aren't you just afraid that they will pretend that they didn't get anything back and then sell the goods privately?
If she was alone, she could still do this, but she was not happy with the sisters-in-law being here.
If anyone speaks too quickly again, my father-in-law will know about it and start a commotion...
Thinking about that scene, Zhou Jiaojiao felt a headache.
The two groups of people entered the mountain almost one after the other.
Chen Jinhua and the others had to walk slower. When the four of them entered the mountain, they saw footprints in front of them and a human figure in the distance.
She whispered to the others, "Are those the daughters-in-law of the Wang family? It looks like that to me."
Bai Xiuxiu took a look and nodded: "It's them."
She was very familiar with these people.
You can tell just by looking at the back.
"Let's go over and take a look. We happen to be going this way too." Wang Qinghe knew what his wife was thinking, so he took the initiative to talk to Aunt Jinhua and Uncle Chen about it.
He was a hunter, and nothing he said would arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, Chen Zhuangshi agreed immediately.
Everyone follows the footsteps of those in front of you.
At this moment, Zhou Jiaojiao, with her three sisters-in-law, was thinking about how to find ginseng in this season.
Or look for something else, it would be nice if there was some prey.
She hasn't had much meat these days because there are too many people at home, and they are all gathered in her house.
If I want to eat meat, how much does it cost?
But if she doesn't eat it, she will be very hungry.
If we can get some game or medicinal herbs at this moment, that would be fine.
But we still have to wait until they start to have bad luck.
Zhou Jiaojiao was not in a hurry and just took them walking aimlessly.
Zhao Cuihua followed with a sullen face. She didn't want to come at first, but the whole family forced her to come. If she didn't come, she wouldn't be able to share the money.
She has always wanted to divide the family, but she hasn't figured out how to do it naturally.
Although she didn't want to be implicated with this family, she also had to consider what would happen if this family really lived a good life in the future, while her eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother did not.
She'd better not offend either side too much.
So, I could only follow.
She leaned against the edge. She was really afraid of Zhou Jiaojiao. Nothing good would happen if she followed Zhou Jiaojiao into the mountains.
Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes were now fixed on the three people, and she felt somewhat dissatisfied. Why did they all look so careful? How could this happen?
Just as he was thinking about it, the fourth son's wife slipped and rolled down the hillside.
Zhou Jiaojiao almost laughed out loud.
But he still pretended to shout: "Fourth sister-in-law, are you okay? I'll be right over."
She said this and ran over.
The other two followed.
Bai Xiuxiu and the others had just come around here and saw this scene from a distance.
Chen Jinhua frowned, "Old Wang's family is really not good. In such a cold day, they asked several women in the family to go out to the mountains to look for things. You can see how cold it is in the mountains, and the ground is slippery. So they fell."
As she was speaking, she immediately shut up.
Because when Wang Laosi's wife fell down, she accidentally knocked out a wild rabbit.
Seeing them carrying the rabbit away, Chen Jinhua was stunned for a moment.
"This……"
"Auntie, let's walk ahead of them." Bai Xiu Xiu felt that they should be able to gain a lot today.
Zhou Jiaojiao brought so many people today, and she hasn’t been back for a long time.
She has been unlucky all the time. She probably came to the mountains this time with the intention of making a fortune.
It's definitely the right time to run ahead of them.
As for the guilt of intercepting Zhou Jiaojiao? She didn't feel that way.
When Zhou Jiaojiao hurt her, she felt no pressure at all, and she didn't need to be polite to Zhou Jiaojiao.
Chen Jinhua was still shocked by what had just happened, so she didn't have any opinion.
They walked quite fast, and Wang Qinghe was very familiar with the roads in the mountains, so he soon got ahead of them.
"Let's go along this road first. In front is a place where I often hunt. The prey here is good." Wang Qinghe pointed ahead.
At the back, the Wang family and their group, Zhou Jiaojiao looked at the rabbit in Chen Fang's hands with pride.
In a very good mood: "We are so lucky, Sister-in-law rolled down and hit the rabbit."
Chen Fang didn't want to talk to Zhou Jiaojiao because she was in so much pain from the fall.
I also watched my feet more carefully.
She is not a fool, she has already figured out some of the situation.
The fifth brother's wife is very strange, and she brought them out with the clear intention of getting them hurt so that she can get some benefit from it.
Although I don’t know why this happened, but in the end they are the ones who suffer the loss!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Liu Xiao'e scream in surprise.
