Chapter 28

The two Yang brothers, the older one was called Yang Quanwen, thirty-two years old. The younger one was called Yang Quanwu, twenty-six years old. They were both strong young men, and they went to the mountains today to help find people.

The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law of the old Wu family at the head of the village had a fight, and the mother-in-law went to the mountains in a fit of anger.

The captain had no choice but to organize a dozen or so strong men to find her. They gave ten work points, and those two were among them.

It turned out they didn’t find Old Lady Wu, but they rescued Zhao Guifen first.

Yang Quanwen thought Zhou Jiaojiao’s words made sense. After all, when they got there, the wild boar was already dead, and they just helped carry the person down.

But he couldn’t decide this matter, it was up to the captain.

Wild boars weren’t small things, they couldn’t just be given to one family.

There were over three hundred families in their Xiahe Village. Such a big wild boar, even if each family got a little, they could each get a pounds back.

Wild boar meat wasn’t as delicious as domestic pig meat, but it was still meat.

“This isn’t something my brother and I can decide, it’s up to the captain. Such a big prey, if we’re lucky, the captain might let our Xiahe Village have it all. If we’re unlucky, maybe the whole brigade will share it.

Our brigade has three villages.

There’s Shanghe Village and Zhonghe Village too!”

Yang Quanwu laughed and dodged the issue. His brother was a mute, not very good at talking.

He was different!

“Brother, let’s go. We haven’t found Auntie Wu yet! Don’t worry, your family. The captain will give you the news tonight.” Yang Quanwu finished speaking and left with his brother.

Zhou Jiaojiao was furious, her eyes like knives as she glared at Zhao Cuihua: “I told you, why were you yelling in the mountains? If you hadn’t yelled, the wild boar would have been ours.”

Zhao Cuihua?

Zhao Cuihua was stunned. Did the fifth son’s wife have a problem?

She didn’t yell?

There were so many people in the mountains, if she didn’t yell, wouldn’t they discover it? Besides, the wild boar was charging, she didn’t yell for help, was she waiting to die?

Zhao Cuihua wasn’t the kind of person who would swallow her anger, so she immediately started to scold: “Are you crazy? Who wouldn’t yell for help when they see a wild boar? Didn’t you see the wild boar charging? We were lucky, when we ran, the wild boar crashed into a tree and died.

What if we were unlucky?

Not to mention Mom, you and I would have been finished!”

Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to strangle Zhao Cuihua. What did she mean by being lucky and not dying?

That wild boar was her lucky find!

Her mother-in-law, Zhao Guifen, started having bad luck as soon as she entered the mountains. It was only natural that she encountered a wild boar, and the wild boar would die on its own.

As long as she didn’t yell for help and didn’t run around. The wild boar would be hers!

If she secretly sold it on the black market, how much money would she get?

This Zhao Cuihua was stupid, and she was even arguing!

She was so hateful!

“Fifth Sister-in-law, who wouldn’t yell for help when they see a wild boar? Would they just wait there for the wild boar to die on its own?” Chen Fang couldn’t stand it anymore and asked her back.

Zhou Jiaojiao was startled: “I… I didn’t, I didn’t… I was just feeling sorry for the wild boar? Such a big wild boar, if we got it, we could sell it for a lot of money. Now it’s the village’s, and we won’t get much meat.”

“Fifth Sister-in-law, no one can predict the future. Are you so confident that the wild boar would die? People who don’t know would think the wild boar came for you.” Bai Xiuxiu finally spoke up.

As soon as she spoke, she directly blocked Zhou Jiaojiao, who couldn’t utter a word.

She was panicked: “You, don’t talk nonsense, Big Sister-in-law, how could I…”

“Yeah, how could you attract a wild boar? If you could attract a wild boar, then all the suffering Mom has endured is because of you.” Bai Xiuxiu’s voice was gentle, no matter how harsh her words were, they sounded gentle, as if she was coaxing someone.

Zhou Jiaojiao was so scared that her face turned pale, and she dared not mention the wild boar again.

“Where are the people? What are you all doing outside? Don’t you want to die? Quickly go get me some water! You’re all going to die!” Zhao Guifen yelled in the room.

She lay on the bed, her old face wrinkled in pain, wishing she could beat all her unlucky daughters-in-law.

She wanted them to feel the pain too.

If her daughters-in-law weren’t useless, how could she suffer like this?

As soon as the voice fell in the room, everyone looked at each other.

Bai Xiuxiu turned and left: “I’m still a patient, I can’t serve Mom.”

“I, I’m also a patient!” Liu Xiao’e quickly left too.

She was kidding, she was limping, how could she serve her mother-in-law?

The old lady was in a bad mood right now, if she took her out as a scapegoat, she would be miserable.

Liu Xiao’e limped towards the house.

Chen Fang was always a cold-faced person, she snorted and turned back to her room.

She was also a patient!

At this time, only Zhao Cuihua and Zhou Jiaojiao were left in the yard. Zhao Cuihua was also tired at this time. She had suffered a lot in the mountains. Compared to Zhou Jiaojiao, she looked even more haggard.

“Fifth Sister-in-law, you just got married, so you should get along well with Mom. Besides, I think you’re the healthiest one in the family now, so you should go and take care of her.” After finishing, Zhao Cuihua shouted to the room: “Mom, the fifth son’s wife will be right over.”

After finishing, she also scurried back to her room.

Only Zhou Jiaojiao was left with a black face.

She wanted to scold someone, but there was no one to scold, so she could only grit her teeth and enter the room.

Zhao Guifen was in a bad mood right now, and she was even more unhappy to see the fifth son’s wife who had encouraged her to go to the mountains: “What are you still standing there for? Are you blind? Quickly help me up to drink water, and also, make me some food today.”

Zhou Jiaojiao widened her delicate eyes in disbelief.

What was this old woman saying?

Make her work?

She didn’t have to work at her own home!

Her mother had her sisters wash her clothes and cook for her.

She had only been married for a few days!

Zhou Jiaojiao brought the water over, filled with resentment.

The next second, Zhao Guifen choked, coughing violently.

Her old face was flushed, and her injuries hurt even more!

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Quickly help me pat my back, you dead person?”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t know what happened, but her waist went out, and she fell to the ground.

Zhou Jiaojiao felt a surge of joy in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face: “Mom, what’s wrong with you? I’ll help you up.”

She helped her up, unable to suppress the grievance in her heart, and went back to her mother’s house! She had to complain to her mother!

Seeing her leave, Zhao Cuihua, who was staying in the house, couldn’t hold back any longer. She rushed to Bai Xiuxiu’s room.

Bai Xiuxiu’s door was closed, and the curtains were drawn, so she couldn’t see anything.

Zhao Cuihua could only knock on the door: “Big Sister-in-law…”

In the room, Bai Xiuxiu, who was about to eat a bun, was unhappy and put the bun away. She hid the medicinal herbs and then opened the door.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhao Cuihua followed her into the room and whispered mysteriously: “Big Sister-in-law, I’m telling you, our fifth son’s wife might be a demon!”
