Chapter 51
Awkward... In the whole yard, there was almost no sound except Zhao Guifen herself groaning in pain!
In the next courtyard, old lady Feng came out to pour water. Seeing that Wang's family was getting noisy again, she looked over at this courtyard out of curiosity. This look really made Zhao Guifen furious.
She covered her buttocks and swore, "What are you looking at? You can't even live your own life, what are you looking at?"
"Bah! Who still wants to look at you? I'm just checking to see if you've bullied your son and daughter-in-law again. What's so good about a black-hearted wife like you? Don't think that no one knows about what happened back then!" Old Mrs. Feng spat in disdain, turned around and left.
What happened back then?
Bai Xiu Xiu looked at Old Lady Feng.
Keep it in mind.
Zhao Guifen was panicked by what she said, and her tone became even worse: "What are you all standing there for? Go to the brigade and borrow a bullock cart for me! You don't take me to the hospital, do you want me to die? Ouch... my leg! What sin have I committed?"
The side of Zhao Guifen's leg that was bitten was now swollen, as was the wild boar leg that day!
"Which hospital? Third brother, go find old man Zhang first and let him see if your leg needs to go to the hospital. If not, just treat it at home." Wang Shoucheng looked at the old woman with a unhappy face.
How much does it cost to go to the hospital?
You really don’t know how to live!
"What are you standing there for? Go quickly!" Zhao Guifen was in so much pain that she was almost losing her mind. She didn't care who to look for, as long as she could get the treatment.
"You guys, carry your mother into the house first."
While Wang Shoucheng was directing his sons to do something, his eyes fell on the bag: "Old Fifth Wife, is this the snake in the bag?"
Zhou Jiaojiao was still shocked by her father-in-law's attitude towards her mother-in-law. Seeing him asking about her bag, she nodded blankly: "Ah... yes! It's a snake."
"Let Old Zhang identify it for us later to see what kind of poisonous snake it is and whether it can be sold for money." Wang Shoucheng thought about what the old woman had told him last night, that his young daughter-in-law was lucky, and now he finally believed it.
Whenever my daughter-in-law goes up the mountain, she seems to gain something.
But this little daughter-in-law is really something, why didn’t she say it earlier?
Had they said it earlier, would they have agreed to split the extra income in the household equally?
That’s right, boss!
"Qinghe, where is your prey?" Wang Shoucheng stared at Wang Qinghe.
Wang Qinghe heard this and calmly put down the basket: "Dad, I didn't see a single rabbit in the mountains today. They must have caught all of them in the past few days."
The smile on Wang Shoucheng's face disappeared in an instant.
What? Nothing? They gave us two eggs this morning! They were eaten by the eldest brother's family!
Before Wang Shoucheng got angry, Wang Qinghe started to make plans: "Dad, we probably can't catch small prey. I plan to start looking for big prey tomorrow."
Wang Shoucheng's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Those small things won’t fetch much money if you sell them. You can only get a share if you come across a big prey.
However... let's see how the younger daughter-in-law's luck is for another half a month. If she continues to be like this and still can't get any money out of the eldest brother, she will kick him out of this house.
We can't let him take advantage of this family.
Wang Qinghe knew what Wang Shoucheng was thinking without trying to guess. He nodded and said, "Really, Dad, I'm going back to the house first. I'm very tired today..."
Having said that, he followed his wife into the house.
Ever since he came back, Xiuxiu has been staring at him with shining eyes, probably because of something good.
Rather than watching the family he disliked in the yard, he preferred to go back to the house to see Xiuxiu and the two children.
Once they got back to the house, Bai Xiuxiu pulled him to sit down: "I have something good to tell you!"
"I have something good to tell you, too."
As Wang Qinghe spoke, he took out three glass jars. The jars were the size of canned food. The clothes he wore had big pockets sewn inside, and coupled with the bulky clothes he wore when going into the mountains, he was able to bring the things into the house without anyone noticing.
"I found a beehive a few days ago, and today I got all the honey out.
It’ll last you through the winter.”
Wang Qinghe looked at his wife and spoke softly as if he was afraid of scaring her.
Bai Xiu Xiu couldn't help but smile when she looked at the honey. Who doesn't like something sweet?
She hugged him and kissed him hard: "Let me tell you about my happy event."
Bai Xiu Xiu told him about the visit of the captain's wife, Chen Jinhua, today.
"How is it? Good news, right?" Bai Xiu Xiu did not hide her joy on her face. The most important thing was that with this job, it would be much easier for her to control the Wang family.
"That's great, you don't have to work in the fields anymore." Wang Qinghe was happier than Bai Xiu Xiu!
Holding her hand distressedly, he said, "Although I helped you before, you still had to work in the fields. When you married me, I promised that I would never let you do anything you don't like. But the result is..."
"Why are you talking about this?" Bai Xiu Xiu felt as sweet as the honey.
In her previous life, Wang Qinghe was nice to her, and she thought he just had a good temper. But later, when she was following him, she realized that he didn't have a good temper, he was just nice to her.
She doesn't know whether it's love or not, but no one would want to reject this uniqueness!
"By the way, Uncle Wu asked about the pot. It's eight yuan without a ticket, but it's not big, just the size of a small wok. I've already ordered this one. I'll have Chen Chengcai bring it to us tomorrow.
If they ask, just say it was a package in the mail."
Wang Qinghe said as he took out another roll of money. This is sixty yuan. I sold the astragalus this morning and was going to give him sixty-five yuan, but I exchanged the five yuan for fifteen bath tickets from him.
This is a non-staple food ticket, this is an industrial ticket, and this is a daily necessities supply ticket.
They said that more people would come to exchange their tickets at the end of the year, and these are the only ones they can exchange now.
Wang Qinghe handed her everything on the list that Bai Xiuxiu had made today.
Bai Xiuxiu put away the tickets. She couldn't live without them at ordinary times!
When she was at her mother's house, her mother brought her and her elder sister to live together, and she got used to this kind of life. After being married to Wang Qinghe for a few years, he has not lacked her for these things!
"Old Zhang, you can't leave. If you leave, who will save me, an old woman?" Outside, Wang Shoucheng pulled old man Zhang who was invited to see the doctor.
Old man Zhang was about to go out, cursing: "You want me to save people? Or do you want me to hurt people! Your sister-in-law Guifen's legs are swollen like pig legs! If you don't send her to the hospital, she can't save her legs!
You have the time to stop me, hurry up and save people!"
After saying this, Old Man Zhang suddenly pulled out his sleeves and quickly left the Wang family.
"Dad, what should we do now?" The second son, Wang Qingfu, was also a little panicked and a little reluctant to part with the money. Mom was really something. She didn't bring the bird eggs back, but ate them raw, and even got herself bitten by a snake.
You are so old! Why are you doing this?
