Chapter 24

That last sentence was directed at Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe didn’t say anything, and neither did anyone else.

They all tacitly agreed.

Bai Xiuxiu was overjoyed at the outcome. Everything was going according to her plan!

Today, she deliberately didn’t bring back any good things, not only because she didn’t want to give anything to the others, but also because she wanted to make them feel dissatisfied.

After all, she had been lazy and hadn’t brought back anything good, while the others’ things were being taken by Zhao Guifen.

When they divided the things later, they would all be about the same.

How could they be happy about that?

They would definitely want to get some of it into their own hands.

However, if they wanted to divide the things, they would have to include them, because the Wang family had lived well for all these years thanks to her husband.

None of the Wang family knew that Zhou Jiaojiao’s luck would continue to be good, and the benefits she could get would be far greater than the winter hunting.

However, by the time they realized it, it would be too late!

“Alright, that’s settled. No one is allowed to make a fuss about it anymore. Tomorrow, the eldest son and the fifth son will go together to sell those medicinal herbs. Take half of the money back to me and your mother, and the rest you five will split equally.

Eat!”

Wang Shoucheng suppressed the family from making a fuss again, but he was worried.

The eldest son was making a fuss, then the youngest son was making a fuss, and the sons were taking turns making a fuss. If this continued, the family would fall apart.

He couldn’t let them make a fuss anymore.

The second son and the fifth son’s jobs also needed to be settled as soon as possible.

At least before they made a fuss about splitting the family again!

The food at home was never very good, but even if it was bad, it could fill their stomachs. In these times, there were people everywhere who couldn’t eat enough.

After the family finished eating, Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe took the children back to their room.

Wang Qinghe made honey water for the children, fed them, and then coaxed them to sleep.

When the children were asleep, he said, “Xiuxiu, did you plan everything today?”

“I don’t like Zhou Jiaojiao. I want all her benefits! In this family, the money that belongs to us must be brought back.” Bai Xiuxiu said confidently, not worried that Wang Qinghe would dislike her for it.

After all, if Wang Qinghe didn’t agree, he wouldn’t have gone along with her.

Wang Qinghe saw her mischievous expression and kissed her.

“Don’t be so mischievous, I’m so tired!”

“Then I’ll give you a massage…”

The two of them whispered and laughed.

In the morning, the whole family got up early.

After breakfast, the men of the family went out early. Wang Qinghe took the children with him as usual. Zhao Guifen came over to call Bai Xiuxiu after a while.

“Eldest son’s wife, don’t sleep! Get up and go to the mountains with the fifth son’s wife.” Outside, Zhao Guifen’s knock on the door made Bai Xiuxiu, who had just finished breakfast and was about to go back to sleep, turn black.

She got up and opened the door, looking at Zhao Guifen, who was standing at the door and wanted to scold her, with a weak expression: “Mom, I went to the mountains yesterday, and today I’m dizzy and nauseous. I must have gotten sick again. I’m going to see Uncle Zhang. I can’t go to the mountains. If I faint on the mountain, the whole village will say you’re abusing your daughter-in-law.”

After Bai Xiuxiu finished speaking, she staggered out and called: “Third sister-in-law? Come here and help me to see the doctor.”

As she spoke, she also locked the door.

She couldn’t let Zhao Guifen see the things in her room.

Zhao Guifen saw her come out and lock the door, and she was so angry she wanted to scold her.

This unlucky thing, why was she afraid of her going through her things? Even if she did go through her things, wasn’t it her right?

She was a mother-in-law, and she couldn’t even take her daughter-in-law’s things, what kind of logic was that!

Zhao Cuihua was originally going to go to the mountains, but when Bai Xiuxiu called her, she had to take her to see the doctor first.

“You two!”

Seeing her two daughters-in-law go out, Zhao Guifen was so angry she kicked the wall of her house, almost twisting her own foot.

“Mom, it looks like we can’t go to the mountains today, but… tomorrow, you can go with us? I’ll go with Big Sister-in-law, and you and Third Sister-in-law will go together. We’ll all go to the mountains, and with the two of us watching, the two sisters-in-law won’t be lazy.”

Zhou Jiaojiao was a little unhappy to see Bai Xiuxiu hiding today.

Yesterday, it was because of her that they found the medicinal herbs, and today they were going to be divided among the whole family. She was at a loss!

If she didn’t make Bai Xiuxiu suffer too, she wouldn’t be able to feel happy.

Zhao Guifen heard that she had to go to the mountains, and she was not happy. She had so many sons, and they all had wives. Why should she, an old woman, go to the mountains?

The mountains were so dangerous!

Just look at the second daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law.

“Mom, when you get to the mountains, just let Third Sister-in-law find things by herself, and you can rest. I’ll mainly watch Big Sister-in-law, and make sure she doesn’t hide anything or be lazy. We can’t let Big Sister-in-law get away with being lazy every time.”

Zhou Jiaojiao continued to persuade the old lady.

Zhao Guifen thought about it and felt that it made sense. Besides, if she didn’t go, Bai Xiuxiu, that lazy bum, would definitely continue to pretend to be sick!

She, the mother-in-law, was going to the mountains, how could her daughter-in-law not go?

“Alright, do as you say.”

On one side, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided on tomorrow’s plan.

On the other side, Bai Xiuxiu took Zhao Cuihua to the clinic.

Old Zhang looked at the two of them and was a little surprised.

As soon as Bai Xiuxiu entered the room, to prevent Uncle Zhang from being confused, she spoke first: “Uncle Zhang, my mother-in-law called me to the mountains yesterday, and I came back from the mountains and felt dizzy. Did I walk too much?”

Old Zhang: …

Wang Qinghe’s wife was really lazy!

But, that’s how it should be.

If she didn’t slack off, who would feel sorry for this girl?

Old Zhang played along with her, his face cold, and he reprimanded her with dissatisfaction: “Doesn’t your family care about human life? What can you do in the mountains like this? If you keep getting tired, will you even have a life?”

There were quite a few people in the clinic at the moment, and as soon as Old Zhang yelled, everyone knew.

It wouldn’t take a meal for the whole village to know that Zhao Guifen was abusing her daughter-in-law.

Zhao Cuihua was stunned when she saw this.

If she hadn’t seen her sister-in-law walking briskly yesterday, she would have believed it!

Old Zhang prescribed some tonic for Bai Xiuxiu, but he spoke much more seriously to the others, saying that these medicines were life-saving.

Bai Xiuxiu left the clinic with the medicine, and she couldn’t help but smile.

From now on, she could continue to be lazy, staying at home every day, and she could still get a share of Zhou Jiaojiao’s medicinal herbs money. She didn’t even want to split the family! https:/

“Big Sister-in-law, you… you plan to be sick for how long?” Zhao Cuihua was dumbfounded.

“Of course, until I don’t have to work. Now, no matter who goes to the mountains, they can share the money from selling the medicinal herbs with me. Why should I go to the mountains?” Bai Xiuxiu looked at her like she was an idiot. In her previous life, she was a lazy person, and would she change her bad habits after being reborn?

If she could make her enemy do the work for her, why should she do it herself?
