Chapter 30

Zhao Guifen immediately changed her tune and pointed the blame at Liu Xiao’e.

The fifth son’s wife’s family was still sensible! That was a whole chicken, in these times, who could easily send a chicken?

Thinking about eating good food tomorrow, Zhao Guifen’s expression towards Zhou Jiaojiao actually showed a hint of affection.

Zhou Jiaojiao thought about her mother’s words when she went home to complain, and she felt wronged.

Her mother actually told her to curry favor with Zhao Guifen, this black-hearted mother-in-law! She also said that if she curried favor with Zhao Guifen, she could get more when they split the family. Moreover, when she did things, Zhao Guifen would help her, and she could save a lot of trouble.

To put it bluntly, she wasn’t willing to take care of her anymore?

Zhou Jiaojiao had never felt so wronged. There was no one in the world who was on her side!

She had to make her husband a worker, she had to live a good life!

Thinking about it, Zhou Jiaojiao couldn’t help but look at Bai Xiuxiu, who was leaning on Wang Qinghe and watching the fun, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

Why? They were all daughters-in-law, how come Bai Xiuxiu could stay out of the mountains and not do anything?

Just because she married well?

Why didn’t she die? How good it would be if Bai Xiuxiu died?

Zhou Jiaojiao had never looked forward to someone dying unexpectedly! She thought about her own luck, and a hint of joy arose in her heart.

Maybe…

“Second Sister-in-law, don’t just stand there, go make dinner!” Zhao Guifen urged Liu Xiao’e, who was dumbfounded.

In the end, Liu Xiao’e went out with a black face, limping.

Bai Xiuxiu watched this scene, the corner of her lips curled up.

Zhou Jiaojiao’s luck relied on others being unlucky, and it accumulated slowly.

Moreover, Zhou Jiaojiao was very dangerous in her previous life, but this whole family relied on her and hoped that she would lead them to a good life, so they worked together with her, and that’s how they concealed the danger for her.

Now, Zhou Jiaojiao had offended quite a few people after being here for a few days.

Liu Xiao’e, her most loyal follower in her previous life, was probably thinking about how to strangle her now.

If opposing Zhou Jiaojiao would bring bad luck, then wouldn’t it be fine if they didn’t directly oppose her?

Bai Xiuxiu was in a good mood. She was never a kind person. In her previous life, she didn’t like to get involved in other people’s business, she wanted to live her own life well. Now, Zhou Jiaojiao was standing in her way, and she couldn’t live a good life.

The best solution was to get rid of the person standing in her way!

“Alright, don’t get in my way, all of you, get out!” Zhao Guifen was feeling uncomfortable, seeing that no one else was reacting, she immediately didn’t want to see them anymore.

As soon as Bai Xiuxiu heard that she was being dismissed, she immediately took her husband and children back to their room.

Back in the room, Wang Qinghe skillfully made honey water for Bai Xiuxiu and the children. Bai Xiuxiu took out the things she bought in the county today: “Come here.”

Wang Qinghe handed her the honey water and put the small table in the room.

Bai Xiuxiu hugged her children onto the kang.

She found a clean piece of oil paper and took out the buns: “It’s cold, the good meat buns aren’t warm anymore, but at least they’re not hard. Eat quickly.”

She took out all nineteen buns.

“Mom, is it New Year’s?” Yueyue was stunned when she saw the mountain of buns. Her big eyes were fixed on the buns, unable to move away.

Bai Xiuxiu laughed when she heard this: “Silly child, can’t you eat them if it’s not New Year’s?”

As she spoke, she gave each of them one.

The buns had been kept in the bag and covered with a blanket, so they weren’t that cold, but they didn’t have the same texture as when they were freshly made.

Wang Qinghe never asked his wife about spending money!

He was only responsible for doing his best to get money for the family, so that his wife wouldn’t spend all her dowry.

“Who knows when dinner will be ready, let’s eat first. We… need a small pot in our room.” Bai Xiuxiu stared at the empty ground, revealing her longing for hot food!

“We’ll finish this year’s work quickly, probably in three or five days. I’ll go and see if I can buy a small one, so we can boil some things. When winter comes and we have a stove in the room, it will be convenient to use.”

“Wang Qinghe said.

Bai Xiuxiu was immediately happy: “Okay, then hurry up. By the way, I called my mom today.”

Bai Xiuxiu told him about knitting sweaters and pants for him, and Wang Qinghe felt warm inside.

He listened quietly, the smile in his eyes couldn’t be suppressed.

Xiuxiu had been married to him for several years, but he knew he wasn’t worthy of her love.

Xiuxiu married him because he was the best-looking guy in the village, and he was willing to listen to her. He was strong, could work, and wouldn’t let her starve.

She usually prepared food and clothes for the children, but she rarely cared about him.

It was only recently that she started to care about him.

But whether she cared about him or not, he still liked her!

Wang Qinghe couldn’t explain why, he just knew that seeing her smile made him feel satisfied. Only when he saw her by his side did he feel like he was living like a human being.

Bai Xiuxiu didn’t know what Wang Qinghe was thinking. Seeing him staring at her blankly, she was amused and laughed: “What are you looking at? Am I prettier than the buns?”

As she spoke, she stuffed a bun into his mouth: “Eat quickly. I know you eat a lot, these buns won’t be good after two meals. Finish them.”

Her appetite wasn’t that big, and she had already eaten one bun, so one more was enough to fill her up.

Her children also only ate two each, the rest were for Wang Qinghe.

He had a big appetite, and he rarely ate his fill at home. She knew that.

The family of three ate their fill, Bai Xiuxiu leaned against her husband, and her children leaned against her. They quietly drank water, they were so happy.

Wang Qinghe only wished that life could continue like this!

“I’m so full, you go get our food later. We won’t eat the Wang family’s food for nothing. Take it back, and after we finish breakfast tomorrow morning, you can come back and have a little feast.” Bai Xiuxiu nudged her husband.

Wang Qinghe didn’t refuse, and he went to get the food after she sat up.

When he arrived at the main room, Zhao Guifen was about to get angry when she saw her eldest son coming to take the food back: “What? I’m sick, not dead. Are you trying to do this to me again?”

“Mom, my wife was tired from going out today. Taking the food back to eat isn’t a big deal.” Wang Qinghe had been talking more recently, and he never listened to his family’s opinions.

After finishing, he started to serve the food.

Zhao Guifen’s eyes widened. This bastard, he was serving his own food?

Wang Shoucheng also had a black face. He looked at his eldest son, his tone not very good: “Eldest son, are you thinking about splitting the family?”

“How could I? I listen to the family in everything. As long as my wife doesn’t object!” Wang Qinghe was still the same, he didn’t actively bring up splitting the family, but he didn’t allow anyone to make Bai Xiuxiu unhappy.
