Chapter 29
Bai Xiuxiu: ...
So that's why she's so secretive?
Seeing that Bai Xiuxiu didn't seem to believe it, Zhao Cuihua also became anxious: "Really? The last time we went up the mountain together, you see that the second and fourth sisters-in-law were in trouble, but look at Zhou Jiaojiao? Nothing happened to her! And she even found a bunch of medicinal herbs.
How can such a good thing happen under normal circumstances?
This time when we went up the mountain, my mother got into trouble as soon as she entered the mountain, but Zhou Jiaojiao was fine.
We entered the mountain and ran into a wild boar. It was like a madman, charging towards us. I ran back as fast as I could after seeing it. My mother ran too slowly and grabbed the fifth son's wife, asking her to block it.
As a result...the wild boar chased our mother and didn't touch the fifth brother's wife at all.
Tell me, is this strange?
Later, it hit itself to death!
The fifth brother's wife was not afraid at all during the whole process, and she was even scolding me just now.
I think about this and I always feel like there is something wrong with her!"
The more Zhao Cuihua talked, the more she felt that this was the case.
After hearing this, Bai Xiu Xiu wanted to laugh.
No wonder her mother-in-law is so unlucky. It seems that she wants to use the fifth son's wife as a shield? How can the wild boar not step on her?
However, her third sister-in-law does have some brains.
In the current Wang family, Zhou Jiaojiao did not keep her mother-in-law in a cage, nor did she bring any special benefits to the family. After all, everything was shared equally by everyone! When it came to going into the mountains, everyone went into the mountains together.
So it didn't highlight her uniqueness.
As for the sisters-in-law, Zhou Jiaojiao offended almost all of them.
She is now very curious about what Zhou Jiaojiao will do next.
"Sister-in-law, please say something!" Zhao Cuihua was wondering in her heart, and seeing that she hadn't said anything, she felt a little anxious.
Bai Xiu Xiu looked harmless and asked her back, "What? Just based on your messy guesses? How could it be such a coincidence? If it was really such a coincidence, then we would have stolen her things, how come nothing happened to us?"
"That's right..." Zhao Cuihua also felt that it didn't make sense.
"Third sister-in-law, no matter what the situation is with the fifth son's wife, as long as we live our own lives well, that's enough. Our mother and father are only thinking about finding jobs for the second and fifth sons. Don't you want your husband to go to the city?"
Bai Xiuxiu started to draw cakes.
Zhao Cuihua is a good helper for now, but she has to be restrained first.
As long as Zhao Cuihua is under her control, it would be easy for her to instigate discord among the family!
It was impossible for her to let this family work together like in the previous generation and play the game of working together to get rich.
Dream!
They all honestly accomplish nothing!
Zhao Cuihua's eyes lit up when she heard what her sister-in-law said: "How can such a good thing happen? My husband didn't receive much education."
"There are jobs in the city that require a diploma. As long as someone is willing to let your man take over, or you can find a way to find a manual job, isn't that enough?" Bai Xiu Xiu continued to draw cakes.
Zhao Cuihua was moved by what she heard: "That... that must be a lot of money, right?"
"As long as you listen to me, I can always help you. The worst that can happen is we can split up the family business. Then you'll have money, right? I'm not a capable person, but my sister is." Bai Xiu Xiu looked at Zhao Cuihua and started talking nonsense.
However, finding a job is not difficult.
Because in half a year, the local commune is going to open a brick factory, which will require a lot of manual labor.
With a primary school diploma and a little more money, you can get in.
"Then I will listen to my sister-in-law."
Zhao Cuihua couldn't stop smiling when she thought that one day she would be able to become a worker's wife.
The two of them didn't have much to say to each other, and after Bai Xiuxiu pulled Zhao Cuihua's guess aside, they never mentioned it again.
After Zhao Cuihua went out, Bai Xiuxiu came out with the buns.
The buns are filled with fillings, and the aroma whets your appetite after one bite.
However, she only ate one.
It has been a long time since I last had meat buns. I have to wait for the two children and Wang Qinghe to come back and eat my fill.
It has to be a bit ceremonial!
The family returned from the fields in the evening.
Before they even returned, they heard that old lady Zhao Guifen had been attacked by a wild boar in the mountains.
When they came back in the evening, the whole family went to the big house.
When Zhao Guifen saw her sons and her old man coming back, she burst into tears and said, "Why is my life so miserable? My five sons have all married, but why am I left alone to live in the mountains?"
None of my daughters-in-law care about me. Who can I count on from now on? "
Zhao Guifen's voice was originally hoarse, and her crying made it even more unbearable for everyone.
Wang Shoucheng's face darkened: "The eldest daughter-in-law, others are fine. But you are the eldest daughter-in-law, why don't you care about your mother?"
"Dad, how can you say that? I am a patient myself. Uncle Zhang has said that if I am not well taken care of, I might even die. Today I went to the county to call my mother, and she said she was worried about me and wanted to come back to see me.
If I take care of my mother and something happens to her, how will people in this village look upon our family?
I’m doing this for the good of this family.”
Bai Xiu Xiu said it with full of righteousness.
Zhao Guifen was so angry that she wanted to get up and fight with Bai Xiuxiu.
"Dad, Xiuxiu is doing this for your own good." Wang Qinghe spoke before Wang Shoucheng could question him.
These words choked Wang Shoucheng enough.
But thinking of his eldest son's hunting skills, he endured it.
We have to wait until winter to talk about anything!
Now is the most important time at home.
"Forget about the eldest son's wife. Starting tomorrow, the others will take turns to take care of your mother. No one is allowed to make excuses for me! Who will cook tonight?" Wang Shoucheng asked dissatisfiedly.
The biggest reason why he was so angry was that when he came back home at night, he didn't even have a hot meal!
His life is almost over. When has he ever encountered a situation where he couldn't have enough food to eat when he got home from work?
Even during those years when we were hungry, a portion of the food and drink at home had to be reserved for him!
"I called the fifth brother my wife, but she hasn't come back yet." Zhao Guifen became very unhappy when she mentioned Zhou Jiaojiao.
Whoever was called would arrive soon. As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao entered the house, she heard her mother-in-law scolding.
She was angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She said with a smile: "Mom, I'm back. I'm going to visit my mom today to get some pain-relieving ointment for you. By the way, my mom said she would come to see you tomorrow.
He said he would kill a chicken for you.
When Zhao Guifen heard this, her expression changed immediately: "Really? You kid, you came back home just for this?"
"Yes, Mom, I feel sad seeing you in so much pain. By the way, Mom, I'll go cook now." Zhou Jiaojiao said and was about to go out.
"No need, second brother's, you do it."
