Chapter 49
When Bai Xiu Xiu heard that it was Zhou Jiaojiao's sister-in-law, her brows wrinkled slightly.
"Sister-in-law, do you think the fifth brother's wife is up to something bad? I don't think she has any good intentions." Zhao Cuihua frowned. When she mentioned Zhou Jiaojiao, she didn't have a good impression of her at all!
Last night, she saw that the fifth daughter-in-law ran to the second sister-in-law's room and said something unknown. She also whispered a lot to her mother-in-law, and then ran to the fourth daughter-in-law Chen Fang.
But she's been too busy!
The second and fifth sons were in the same group, and their parents-in-law favored them. The fourth son's wife's family lived in the city, and she looked down on the affairs of the courtyard and didn't care much.
The fifth brother's wife went to find the second sister-in-law and then to find Chen Fang. She was definitely thinking about how to get more money from the family!
The more Zhao Cuihua thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case!
Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhao Cuihua's angry look and smiled at her: "Who cares what she wants to do? We just need to share the benefits she brings to this family. Don't you want the benefits that come for free?"
"Speaking of this! Sister-in-law, do you think it's okay for me to steal her things again?" Zhao Cuihua spoke in a low voice. She had been thinking about this for two days.
"Let's wait a little longer. She's so lucky. She keeps stealing things that belong to her. What if something unexpected happens? Now keep an eye on her and don't let them hide the things." Bai Xiu Xiu looked at Zhao Cuihua. She wasn't really afraid of Zhou Jiaojiao's luck, but she was afraid that Zhao Cuihua would fail to steal the things and be exposed, which would make people surprised.
It will not be easy for her to snatch something from Zhou Jiaojiao in the future.
Zhao Cuihua didn't think much about it. She had been hanging out with Bai Xiuxiu for the past few days, and life was pretty good. She didn't have any good ideas, but she knew one thing: listen to others' advice and eat your fill!
She, Zhao Cuihua, is the most receptive to advice!
"Sister-in-law, I'll listen to you."
There was movement at the kitchen door, and Zhao Cuihua quickly moved away from Bai Xiuxiu.
She was afraid that Zhao Guifen would see her and Bai Xiuxiu getting close.
"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pack up and go to the mountains. Fourth son's wife? Come out quickly!" Zhao Guifen shouted at everyone.
After waiting for everyone who wanted to go up the mountain to gather, we went out together.
Liu Xiao'e looked at Bai Xiu Xiu with resentment and felt bad.
My sister-in-law likes to eat but is lazy and doesn't help at all.
Do I have to serve her?
"Mom, Mom, I want to eat candy." Yueyue came out of the house, pulled Bai Xiuxiu's trouser legs and started to act coquettishly.
Bai Xiu Xiu picked up her daughter and looked at her son who was standing at the door with eager eyes. She knew that the two children had the same idea, so she smiled and waved.
After waiting for Mingming to come over, he took the two children into the house.
Liu Xiao'e was moved when she heard about eating candy: "Sister-in-law... Mingming and Yueyue are having a really good life. They are so young, but they eat candy every day. My two girls... have never eaten it before."
Bai Xiu Xiu glanced at her, and Liu Xiao'e's thoughts were almost written on her face!
But it has nothing to do with her!
Without even bothering to reply, Bai Xiu Xiu prepared to go into the house.
"Sister-in-law, could you please give me two pieces of candy? At least it can satisfy my two young ladies..." Liu Xiao'e begged with a shameless look.
Bai Xiuxiu was delighted when she heard this: "Give it to you evenly? Sure. What do you want to exchange with me?"
"Change? Not even..." Liu Xiao'e was a little confused.
"Second brother's wife, you are already grown up, you don't want to take my candy for free, do you? Your eldest brother and I are reluctant to eat this candy, we save one piece a day for the children. You and the second brother have a much better life than your eldest brother and I.
Why didn't you save some money to buy candy for your children? "
Bai Xiu Xiu asked her sarcastically.
Liu Xiao'e blushed: "Sugar, sugar is so expensive..."
"Yes, you also know how expensive money is. You are reluctant to buy expensive things, but you ask me for them? If I am reluctant to spend money, can I ask you for some? You are really crazy!" Bai Xiu Xiu carried the two children into the house.
After the short quarrel between Bai Xiuxiu and Liu Xiao'e, the two children went into the house and everything was quiet.
Yueyue sat on the kang obediently, not saying a word.
Bai Xiuxiu took out some candy and looked at her like this, feeling a little strange: "What's wrong?"
"Mom, was I wrong? I asked for candy outside and Auntie had a fight with you..." Yueyue was a little worried.
My second aunt is so strong! Much stronger than my mother.
What if I hit my mother?
Bai Xiuxiu was amused by her worry and kissed the little girl's face: "Yueyue asked mom for candy, what's wrong? Your second aunt is not smart, you must avoid her when you see her in the future, understand? In this family, no matter who says something to you, you are not allowed to follow them out.
You can only follow your mom and dad when they take you out to play."
Bai Xiuxiu once again reminded her children not to go out without permission.
Yueyue ate the candy and nodded obediently.
Mingming in the corner also nodded.
Bai Xiu Xiu stayed in the house knitting a sweater the whole morning without going out.
It's late autumn now. If I don't knit the sweater any slower, I'll have to wait until next year to wear it. After all, cotton pants are needed in winter!
Not long after dinner, Bai Xiu Xiu was crocheting a sweater.
Someone is coming outside.
"Uncle Wang, is your eldest daughter-in-law at home? I have something good to ask her." Chen Jinhua came in from outside the yard.
I felt a little jealous when I saw that his family was expanding their house.
The sons of the Wang family are all capable, especially the eldest son. Although he married a wife with poor health, he can do the work of two people by himself.
Look?
As soon as the fifth son of this family got married, he enlarged his house. All other families who wanted to expand their houses would wait until they had picked up all the good things in their private plots and the mountains before they started working.
That is to say, there are many people in the Wang family.
As soon as Chen Jinhua entered the yard, Wang Shoucheng saw her.
When I heard that she was looking for her eldest daughter-in-law, my heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the troublemaker has said something to the captain's wife again?
Recently, the reputation of our family has been almost ruined by Bai Xiu Xiu!
During the autumn harvest some time ago, the farm captain's wife slapped his wife in the face. People in the village are still talking about it.
Whenever the old couple goes out, people point at them.
How long has it been?
Why is the captain’s wife here again?
"You are looking for Xiuxiu..." Wang Shoucheng was about to ask.
In the room, Bai Xiuxiu had already pushed the door open and came out: "Auntie Jinhua, why are you here?"
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu, Chen Jinhua's eyes lit up: "I came here just to find you!"
"Looking for me?" Bai Xiu Xiu was a little surprised.
"Okay, let's talk about it inside the house." Chen Jinhua ignored the people from the Wang family and followed Bai Xiu Xiu into her little house.
As soon as she entered the house, Chen Jinhua liked the furnishings in the house: "Look at how well-kept this little house is."
"Auntie, sit down and have a cup of brown sugar water." Bai Xiuxiu poured water into a can from home for Chen Jinhua.
She uses this bottle specifically for guests.
Chen Jinhua was not polite either. She drank some water before talking to Bai Xiuxiu about business: "Xiuxiu, how are you feeling?"
