Chapter 54
Bai Xiuxiu put on her clothes immediately, and when the two of them went out, Zhao Guifen was helped off the ox cart, limping.
By now her complexion had returned to normal.
"Dad, we've brought my mom back. The county doctor said we didn't come too late. She's been given an antidote serum and is fine. The venom of the snake isn't strong, but she needs to stay in bed for ten days."
The second son, Wang Qingfu, brought Liu Xiao'e and Zhao Cuifen into the yard. As soon as he came in, he quickly explained the situation.
Wang Shoucheng was relieved when he heard this: "It's good that everything is fine! It's good that everything is fine!"
As he said this, he looked at the captain behind him with sharp eyes: "Captain, thank you so much for helping us make this trip this time. How about I... come in and have a drink of water?"
"Okay, what time is it now? I still have to pull the cow back to the team. The cow needs to poop tomorrow. When you go to the mountains in the future, you must be careful and don't run into this kind of thing again. There were wild boars a few days ago and snakes these days.
It’s too dangerous on the mountain now. I need to discuss with the team what to do.”
The captain rejected Wang Shoucheng with disgust.
He finally understood that his daughter-in-law's suggestion to him that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family should work in the village Women's Federation was a serious matter!
On the way he sent Zhao Guifen to the hospital, he heard Zhao Guifen scolding her eldest son and daughter-in-law many times.
No matter what the matter is, it can be linked to the young couple.
Wang Lao Er and his wife, that's even more in line with Zhao Guifen. Especially Wang Lao Er, a brother, said bad things about Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu in front of him, the captain, behind their backs.
This is how he behaves in front of him, who knows what he's like behind his back.
Bai Xiu Xiu went to the Women's Federation, at least she could suffer less!
The captain cracked his whip and drove away on the ox cart.
"Third sister-in-law, bring me food quickly. I'm so hungry after such a short while. Everyone else should go back and rest quickly. I'll be lying in bed for more than ten days. Starting tomorrow I'll have to make arrangements for you about who will serve me!" Zhao Guifen shouted loudly as she entered the house.
Seeing this, Bai Xiu Xiu pulled her husband into the house.
In the room, the two children were awake now, still groggy, apparently having been woken up by the noise.
"Why are you all awake? Go back to sleep." Bai Xiu Xiu said as she was about to coax the child.
Wang Qinghe was more experienced than her. He held the two children in his arms, one in each hand, and coaxed them into falling asleep in a short while.
Seeing him like this, Bai Xiuxiu's heart softened a lot. This is the right way! When she was floating behind him, he didn't even look at the child. He really deserved a beating!
"The weather is getting cold. I'm going to knit our hats and scarves in the next two days. The one you had before is broken." Bai Xiu Xiu crawled back into the quilt and said her plan.
Wang Qinghe put the two children down and followed over: "Do you need my help?"
In previous years, Xiuxiu couldn’t weave things, and he was the one who helped her!
While he was talking, he also grabbed Bai Xiuxiu's hand. Her hands and feet were cold when it was cold: "I'll warm you up..."
"Just keep me warm, but don't move your hands or feet!" Bai Xiu Xiu saw that he was sticking close to her and warned him in a low voice. She was already tired enough these days!
"By the way, judging from their attitude today, if you don't bring back any prey in the next half month, they will start to make trouble for dividing the family property. I am not going to give them the things in this house, so you are not allowed to be soft-hearted!"
Bai Xiu Xiu and Wang Qinghe talked about business.
In her previous life, before she died, Wang Qinghe had always worked like a donkey for this family. Apart from blood ties, she really couldn't think of any other reason for him to do this!
Thinking of blood ties, Bai Xiu Xiu couldn't help but recall what old lady Feng next door said today.
I was just about to talk to Wang Qinghe about it.
Wang Qinghe kissed her and murmured to her softly, "I am not soft-hearted. They and I... As long as you, Xiuxiu, don't like it, I will not be soft-hearted to anyone."
Bai Xiu Xiu was made to laugh by him. Why is this man so talkative lately?
The two quarreled for a long time, early the next morning.
At the dinner table.
Sitting at the table, Bai Xiuxiu was still a little sleepy. Seeing that the rice had arrived but had not been distributed yet, she guessed that Zhao Guifen was going to do something strange.
"Mom, everyone at home is waiting for you to eat and go to work. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't wait like this." The third child, Wang Zhengliang, was very hungry and urged.
"Humph! If I hadn't made you a little hungry, how would you know how important I, the person who distributes the rice, am?" She said this before starting to distribute the rice with a large spoon.
"My legs and feet cannot move, so someone needs to take care of me for the next ten days. Don't pretend to be sick. If you can't take care of me, just give me money! Eldest wife, did you hear me?" Zhao Guifen glanced at Bai Xiu Xiu while speaking.
Bai Xiuxiu heard this and smiled: "Mom, don't worry. No matter how sick I am, I will still do my filial duty. By the way, why don't I serve you alone?"
At this moment, Zhao Guifen remembered the despair of falling twice in a row!
Decisive refusal: "I don't need you!"
"Don't need me? That won't work. Mom, you've already said that if you can't serve, you have to get paid. I think I'm very good at serving people!" Bai Xiu Xiu's sincere look made Zhao Guifen want to curse.
Do you have any shame?
Can serve others? How can she say that!
Zhao Guifen had a gloomy face, thinking about what the old man said last night, that he would wait for another ten days, and if the eldest brother still didn't make any money, he would separate him first.
Then find a way to make Bai Xiu Xiu divorce the boss, or... just let her die.
In this way, the eldest brother, who has lost his wife and two children, will naturally beg them to move back.
Now that they live in the same yard, they won’t have a good chance to trick Bai Xiu Xiu.
Just ignore her for now and let her run wild!
Thinking of this, Zhao Guifen felt relieved all of a sudden. She glanced at Bai Xiuxiu and snorted coldly, "I don't need you. If I let you serve me, everyone in the team will say that I, as a mother-in-law, am bullying my daughter-in-law again.
You take a rest.
Oh, by the way, we sold the poisonous snake yesterday, but the money was used to treat my illness, and the rest can be used to buy nutritional supplements for me.
I am old and have suffered such a hardship. None of you should share this money. Just consider it as a gift to me."
Zhao Guifen's words immediately made everyone except the second and fifth brothers and their couple look unhappy.
"Mom, how much nutrition do you need to eat?" Zhao Cuihua couldn't help but ask her, how big is that snake? How valuable is it!
"What? Did you find this snake? If I hadn't been bitten, would you have seen it? I'm in this state, and I can't eat something good? Do you still have a conscience?"
Zhao Guifen burst into curses.
She and Wang Shoucheng had discussed it early in the morning, and Wang Shoucheng pretended to be serious: "Okay, it's settled. You have to feel sorry for your mother."
Bai Xiu Xiu looked at the old couple putting on a show, and the look in Zhao Cuihua's eyes that looked like she was asking for help.
He smiled at her and said nothing.
This money will be hers sooner or later.
After the family had breakfast, everyone went about their business. Bai Xiu Xiu also took her two children out, using the excuse of going to see a doctor!
"Mom, where are we going? Grandpa Zhang's house is not here." Yueyue was holding Bai Xiuxiu's hand, with a confused look on her face.
Bai Xiuxiu gave her a piece of orange candy and said, "Mom will take you somewhere else to play."
If I remember correctly, the old lady of the Feng family would dig wild vegetables near the foot of the mountain every day.
She came out to wait for someone!
