Chapter 49

Bai Xiuxiu frowned slightly when she heard that it was Zhou Jiaojiao’s sister-in-law from her parents’ house.

“Sister-in-law, do you think the fifth son’s wife is up to something bad? I don’t think she has any good intentions.” Zhao Cuihua frowned. She didn’t have a good impression of Zhou Jiaojiao at all!

Last night, she had seen the fifth son’s wife go to the second sister-in-law’s room, and she didn’t know what they talked about. She also whispered a lot to her mother-in-law, and then she went to the fourth son’s wife, Chen Fang.

It had made her very busy!

The second and fifth sons were a team, and her parents-in-law favored these two. The fourth son’s wife’s family lived in the city, and she didn’t care much about the things in the courtyard.

The fifth son’s wife went to the second sister-in-law and then to Chen Fang. She must be thinking about how to get more money from the family!

Zhao Cuihua was more and more convinced of this!

Seeing Zhao Cuihua’s furious expression, Bai Xiuxiu smiled at her: “What does it matter what she wants to do? We just need to follow her and get the benefits she brings to this family. You don’t want free benefits?”

“Speaking of which! Sister-in-law, do you think I can go and intercept her things again?” Zhao Cuihua’s voice was very low. She had been thinking about this for two days.

“Wait a little longer. She’s so lucky, if you keep intercepting things that belong to her, what if something bad happens? For now, just keep an eye on her, don’t let them hide anything.” Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhao Cuihua. She wasn’t really afraid of Zhou Jiaojiao’s luck, but she was afraid that Zhao Cuihua would fail to intercept her and expose herself, alerting the snake.

It would be harder for her to intercept anything from Zhou Jiaojiao in the future.

Zhao Cuihua didn’t think much of it. She had been hanging out with Bai Xiuxiu these past few days, and her life was already pretty good. She wasn’t very clever, but she knew one thing: Listen to people and you’ll eat your fill!

She, Zhao Cuihua, was the most obedient!

“Sister-in-law, I’ll listen to you.”

There was a noise from the kitchen door. Zhao Cuihua quickly moved away from Bai Xiuxiu.

She was afraid that Zhao Guifen would see her getting close to Bai Xiuxiu.

“What are you standing there for, you idiot? Go tidy up and go to the mountain. Fourth son’s wife? Come out quickly!” Zhao Guifen shouted at each of them.

After she called everyone who was going to the mountain, they all went out together.

Liu Xiao’e looked at Bai Xiuxiu resentfully, feeling uneasy.

Sister-in-law was lazy and didn’t help at all.

She had to serve her?

“Mommy, Mommy, I want candy.” Yueyue came out of the house and tugged on Bai Xiuxiu’s pants, starting to act cute.

Bai Xiuxiu picked up her daughter and saw her son standing at the door, also looking at her with longing eyes. She knew they were both thinking the same thing, so she smiled and beckoned them over.

When Mingming came over, she took her two children and was about to go inside.

Liu Xiao’e heard about the candy and her heart moved: “Sister-in-law… Mingming and Yueyue have such a good life. They’re so young, and they eat candy every day. My two daughters… they’ve never eaten candy.”

Bai Xiuxiu glanced at her. Liu Xiao’e’s thoughts were written all over her face!

But it had nothing to do with her!

She didn’t even bother to reply, and Bai Xiuxiu was about to go inside.

“Sister-in-law, can you spare me two pieces of candy? Let my two daughters have a taste…” Liu Xiao’e, with a thick face, begged.

Bai Xiuxiu laughed: “Spare you some? Sure. What do you want to Change with me?” https:/

“Change? It’s not…” Liu Xiao’e was a little dumbfounded.

“Second son’s wife, you’re a grown woman, you don’t want to take my candy for free, do you? This candy, your husband and I don’t even dare to eat it. We save one piece a day for the children. You and your husband have a much better life than your husband and I.

Why haven’t you saved some money to buy candy for the children?”

Bai Xiuxiu asked her sarcastically.

Liu Xiao’e’s face turned red: “Candy, candy is so precious…”

“Yeah, you know it’s precious. You can’t bear to buy it yourself, but you come to me to ask for it? Then if I can’t bear to spend money, can I ask you for some? What’s wrong with you!” Bai Xiuxiu hugged her two children and went inside.

Bai Xiuxiu and Liu Xiao’e’s little argument sent the two children inside, and they were very quiet.

Yueyue sat obediently on the kang, not making a sound.

Bai Xiuxiu took out the candy. Seeing her like this, she was a little strange: “What’s wrong?”

“Mommy, did I do something wrong? I asked for candy outside, and Second Aunt argued with you…” Yueyue was a little worried.

Second Aunt was so strong! Much stronger than Mommy.

What if she hit Mommy?

Bai Xiuxiu was amused by her worry. She kissed her daughter’s little face: “There’s nothing wrong with Yueyue asking Mommy for candy. Your Second Aunt is not right in the head. From now on, if you see her, you must stay away, okay? In this family, no matter what anyone says to you, don’t go out with them.

Only Dad and Mommy can take you out to play, and then you can follow them.”

Bai Xiuxiu once again instructed her children not to go out without permission.

Yueyue ate the candy and nodded obediently.

Mingming, in the corner, also nodded.

The whole morning, Bai Xiuxiu stayed in the house knitting sweaters and didn’t go out.

It was already late autumn, and if she knitted the sweaters any slower, she would have to wait until next year to wear them. After all, they would be wearing thick trousers in winter!

Not long after eating, Bai Xiuxiu was crocheting the flowers on the sweater.

Someone came to the house.

“Uncle Wang, is your eldest daughter-in-law home? I have something good to tell her.” Chen Jinhua came in from outside the courtyard.

She was a little envious when she saw their house being expanded.

The Wang family’s sons were all capable, especially the eldest son. Although he married a wife who wasn’t in good health, he could do the work of two people.

Look at this!

The fifth son had married a wife, and they were immediately expanding the house. All the other families who wanted to expand their houses were waiting until they had collected all the good things from the vegetable patch and the mountains before starting work?

It was just that the Wang family had a lot of people.

As soon as Chen Jinhua entered the courtyard, Wang Shoucheng saw her.

Hearing that she was looking for his eldest daughter-in-law, he felt a pang in his heart.

Could it be that this troublemaker had told the headman’s wife something again?

Recently, Bai Xiuxiu had almost ruined their family’s reputation!

During the autumn harvest a while ago, the headman’s wife had slapped his wife in the face in front of everyone. People in the village were still talking about it.

When he and his wife went out, people would point at them.

It hadn’t been that long!

Why was the headman’s wife here again?

“You’re looking for Xiuxiu…” Wang Shoucheng was about to ask.

Inside the house, Bai Xiuxiu had already opened the door and came out: “Sister-in-law Jinhua, why are you here?”

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu, Chen Jinhua’s eyes lit up: “I’m here for you!”

“For me?” Bai Xiuxiu was a little surprised.

“Good news. Let’s talk inside.” Chen Jinhua ignored the whole Wang family and followed Bai Xiuxiu into her small room.

As soon as she entered, Chen Jinhua loved the arrangement of the room: “Look at this little room, it’s so nice.”

“Sister-in-law, sit down and have some brown sugar water.” Bai Xiuxiu took out the family’s glass jar and poured her some water.

This jar was specifically for guests.

Chen Jinhua didn’t hesitate and drank some water before talking to Bai Xiuxiu about the real matter: “Xiuxiu, how is your health?”
