Chapter 10

Wang Qinghe’s face flushed red from the kiss.

She… how…

The children were still here!

Bai Xiuxiu had no pressure after kissing him. During her time as a ghost, she had followed Wang Qinghe and seen a lot!

In a few decades, there would be countless couples holding hands and hugging in the streets.

“Mommy, why don’t you kiss Yueyue?” The little girl, who was eating, tugged at Bai Xiuxiu’s hand, her watery eyes fixed on her.

Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but laugh, she gave each of the children a kiss, “Is that better? Eat quickly, tomorrow I’ll let your father bring back some steamed buns.”

The two children also secretly ate extra food with Bai Xiuxiu, but they were still happy to hear about steamed buns.

After all, in these times, steamed buns weren’t something you could eat every day.

Some families didn’t even get to eat them twice a year!

After the family finished dinner, Wang Qinghe went to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Zhao Guifen was talking to her fifth son’s wife when she saw her eldest son come back, her face immediately turned sour, “It’s your turn to wash dishes today, call your wife out.”

“I’ll wash them.” Wang Qinghe went to wash the dishes skillfully.

“You’re useless! Jiaojiao, Mom will take you out for a walk. You just got married, there are still many things you don’t know.” Zhao Guifen turned to Zhou Jiaojiao with a loving smile.

Zhou Jiaojiao nodded obediently. Seeing Wang Qinghe washing dishes, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Why did Bai Xiuxiu have it so good? She didn’t even wash dishes?

As the two went out, Zhou Jiaojiao lowered her head and said casually, “Mom, it’s so embarrassing for sister-in-law to be like this, it’ll spread.”

“Does she even have the face? Jiaojiao, you’re just newly married and don’t understand anything. Your sister-in-law is just a lazy eater. We were so unlucky to marry her into our family. Don’t go and provoke her, anyone who says anything about her, she’ll go to the Women’s Federation to make a fuss.

She’s going to ruin the whole family’s reputation!”

Zhao Guifen was full of anger when she mentioned her eldest daughter-in-law!

Zhou Jiaojiao’s eyes changed, “Mom, don’t be angry. How about this? After the autumn harvest, I’ll take sister-in-law to the mountains. After the autumn harvest, the last batch of mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains are still there, we can at least get some back.

Add some vegetables for the family in winter.

It can also let sister-in-law do some work for the family.”

Zhao Guifen thought it was feasible when she heard this, “The fifth son really has good taste, marrying you back. We’ll do it that way!”

Zhou Jiaojiao was satisfied.

The reason why she was pampered by her family was because she was lucky. She would take her sister-in-law to the mountains, and her sister-in-law would suffer in the mountains and wouldn’t be able to bring anything back.

Then, with this comparison, her status in the Wang family would become higher and higher.

As for her sister-in-law…

What else could a lazy eater do besides sucking the blood of the Wang family?

It was only right for her to suffer and be unlucky!

“Ahhh…”

In the room, Bai Xiuxiu suddenly sneezed twice.

She quickly touched her forehead, she didn’t have a fever.

Forget it, she’d better drink some hot water, don’t really catch a cold!

Bai Xiuxiu poured herself a cup of hot water.

When Wang Qinghe came back from washing the dishes, it was already dark.

“I’ll go boil some water for you.” Wang Qinghe said softly, looking at his wife who was still drinking water.

“Go ahead, go ahead!” Bai Xiuxiu said, handing him the thermos.

It wasn’t convenient to take a bath in autumn, and the road to the county wasn’t close either. So she was used to wiping her body with hot water every day and going to the bathhouse once a month. This habit couldn’t be changed!

When she was at home, her mother and sister pampered her, and after marrying Wang Qinghe, Wang Qinghe boiled water for her.

At first, her mother-in-law, Zhao Guifen, would scold and grumble, but no matter how much she scolded, Wang Qinghe never stopped fulfilling her request.

He did most of the housework.

Therefore, her mother-in-law couldn’t control her.

After boiling the water and wiping her body, Bai Xiuxiu comfortably burrowed back into the quilt.

Wang Qinghe tidied up the room before coming back.

Bai Xiuxiu lay in the warm quilt, the feeling of being reborn became stronger and stronger.

Indeed, it was better to be alive!

This time, she must live a long life! She would have many children and grandchildren with Wang Qinghe.

Just as she was imagining the future, Bai Xiuxiu felt someone sticking to her.

The man’s warmth brought her back to her senses. She grabbed his mischievous hand, “What are you doing? We have to work tomorrow!”

Wang Qinghe was particularly aggrieved, “It’s me who has to work, Xiuxiu, you’re still resting tomorrow!”

Then, he blocked her mouth and pulled the curtain between her and the two children in the room.

This curtain was something Bai Xiuxiu insisted on hanging in the middle of the kang as a partition!

Early morning.

Bai Xiuxiu was awakened by the scolding voice of her mother-in-law, Zhao Guifen, outside.

“Early in the morning, whose daughter-in-law doesn’t get up? If you’re still sick, don’t you know what work needs to be done? Don’t you know it’s your turn to cook today? Some people are just lazy except for eating! Let your husband come out to cook, aren’t you ashamed?”

Bai Xiuxiu frowned, got out of bed, washed her face, kissed her two sleeping children, and went out of the room.

It was autumn now, and the early autumn morning was still a little cold.

Seeing her come out, Zhao Guifen sneered, “You know how to come out? I thought you died in the room!”

“If I die in this house, it’s because you tortured me to death. I’ve heard of a donkey being worked to death, but I’ve never heard of a wife being worked to death. Yesterday, I fainted in the field, everyone in the village knows. Even Uncle Zhang said that I need to rest for ten days.

The work in the field that I was supposed to do, my husband did.

The meals that I was supposed to cook, my husband cooked.

What? You want to learn from the old feudal grandmothers of the past? Do I have to greet you?”

Bai Xiuxiu sarcastically retorted.

Zhao Guifen was so angry that her hands trembled. “You’re rebellious! You’re rebellious! You all listen, you all listen! Is this the kind of language a daughter-in-law should use? Who would want someone like you? Eldest son! Eldest son! Get a divorce! Get a divorce!”

Wang Qinghe came out of the kitchen, his expression not good either. “I cooked the food, and I did the work. My wife is mine, Mom, why are you trying to get me divorced?”

Zhao Guifen: …

“Mom, if we can live together, we’ll live together. If we can’t, you mentioned splitting the family, and Xiuxiu and I will leave.” Wang Qinghe’s strategy was to stay silent and everything would be fine, but once he spoke, he would make eight people angry.

“It’s early in the morning, what’s all this commotion? Go back to your rooms. Eldest daughter-in-law, you can get out of bed now, so come to the main house for dinner.” Old Wang, hearing about splitting the family, immediately couldn’t stay in his room.

He came out of the room and interrupted the commotion.

Bai Xiuxiu glanced at her father-in-law. This father-in-law of hers always pretended to be a good person, but he was actually the best at smoothing things over.

However, she wasn’t planning to split the family now!

This family, all the property was accumulated by her husband’s hard work, and she wouldn’t give up a single cent!

The whole family went into the room.

At the dinner table, Zhao Guifen immediately brought up the matter she had discussed with her husband last night. “Your cousin said that the commune’s clothing factory is hiring. He has connections with the factory, five hundred yuan, plus three fish.

Eldest son, we don’t have enough money, so I think you should go to the mountains early this year and hunt some things to make some money.”

“Mom, are you trying to arrange a job for our Qinghe?” Bai Xiuxiu smiled harmlessly, unconsciously scaring them.
