Chapter 29

Bai Xiuxiu: …

So that’s what she was being mysterious about?

Seeing that Bai Xiuxiu didn’t seem to believe her, Zhao Cuihua became anxious: “It’s true! Last time we went to the mountains together, you saw how unlucky Second Sister-in-law and Fourth Sister-in-law were, but look at Zhou Jiaojiao? Nothing happened to her! And she even found a bunch of medicinal herbs.

Where does that kind of good luck come from?

This time in the mountains, Mom had bad luck as soon as she entered, but Zhou Jiaojiao was still fine.

We went deep into the mountains, and we directly encountered a wild boar. The wild boar was like it was crazy, charging towards us. I saw it and ran back as fast as I could. Mom was too slow, she grabbed hold of the fifth son’s wife, wanting her to block her.

As a result… the wild boar chased after Mom, and it didn’t touch the fifth son’s wife at all.

Tell me, isn’t that strange?

Later, it even crashed into a tree and died on its own!

The fifth son’s wife wasn’t scared at all, she was even scolding me.

I thought about it, and I just felt something was wrong!”

The more Zhao Cuihua talked, the more she felt it was true.

Bai Xiuxiu listened and wanted to laugh.

No wonder her mother-in-law was so unlucky, it turned out she was using the fifth son’s wife as a shield? How could the wild boar not step on her?

However, her third sister-in-law did have some brains.

In the current Wang family, Zhou Jiaojiao hadn’t won over her mother-in-law, nor had she brought any significant benefits to the family. After all, everything was divided equally! They all went to the mountains together.

So, her uniqueness wasn’t highlighted.

As for the sisters-in-law, Zhou Jiaojiao had offended almost all of them.

She was now curious to see what Zhou Jiaojiao would do next.

“Big Sister-in-law, say something!” Zhao Cuihua was feeling uneasy. Seeing that she didn’t say anything, she became anxious.

Bai Xiuxiu looked harmless and asked her back: “Say what? Just based on your random guesses? How could there be such a coincidence? If it was really that coincidental, then we would have intercepted her things, how come nothing happened to us?”

“That’s true…” Zhao Cuihua also felt it didn’t make sense.

“Third Sister-in-law, no matter what the fifth son’s wife is like, as long as we live our own lives well, that’s enough. Mom and Dad are only thinking about finding jobs for the second and fifth sons. Don’t you want your husband to go to the city?”

Bai Xiuxiu started to paint a rosy picture.

Zhao Cuihua, as a helper, was pretty good for now. She had to win her over first.

As long as she had Zhao Cuihua in her grasp, it would be easy for her to instigate discord in this family!

She wouldn’t let this family be like in her previous life, working together, playing the game of getting rich together.

Dream on!

They should all be honest and achieve nothing!

Zhao Cuihua’s eyes lit up when she heard Big Sister-in-law’s words: “Can that really happen? My husband didn’t go to school.”

“It’s not like there are only jobs in the city that require a diploma. As long as someone is willing to let your husband take over their job, or if you find a way, find a job that requires physical labor, wouldn’t that work?” Bai Xiuxiu continued to paint a rosy picture.

Zhao Cuihua was tempted: “Then… then it would cost a lot of money, right?”

“As long as you listen to me, I can always help you. In the future, we can just split the family, then you’ll have money, right? Although I’m not a capable person, my sister is.” Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhao Cuihua and started to make things up.

However, finding a job wasn’t actually that difficult.

Because in half a year, the commune would open a brick factory, and they would need many manual laborers.

With a primary school diploma, and a little bit of money, they could get in.

“Then I’ll listen to Big Sister-in-law.”

Zhao Cuihua couldn’t help but smile when she thought that she would also have a chance to be a worker’s wife.

The two of them didn’t really have anything to talk about. After Zhao Cuihua’s guess was dismissed by Bai Xiuxiu, she didn’t mention it again.

After Zhao Cuihua left, Bai Xiuxiu took out the bun.

The bun was full of filling, and the aroma made her mouth water.

However, she only ate one.

She hadn’t eaten meat buns for a long time, she had to wait for her children and Wang Qinghe to come back and eat their fill.

It had to be a special occasion!

In the evening, the whole family came back from the fields.

Before they came back, they had already heard that Old Lady Zhao Guifen had been trampled by a wild boar in the mountains.

When they came back in the evening, the whole family went to the main room.

As soon as Zhao Guifen saw her sons and her old man come back, she started crying loudly: “Why is my life so miserable? Five sons, all married, why do I, an old woman, have to go to the mountains?

My daughters-in-law don’t care about me at all, who can I rely on in the future?”

Zhao Guifen’s voice was already hoarse, and her crying made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Wang Shoucheng’s face turned black: “Eldest son’s wife, it’s fine for the others. You’re the eldest daughter-in-law, why don’t you take care of your mother?”

“Dad, what are you saying? I’m a patient myself. Uncle Zhang said that if I don’t recover, I might not even have a life left. Today, I called my mother in the county, and she said she was worried about me and wanted to come back to see me.

Zhao Guifen was furious when she heard Bai Jiaojiao’s words: “Really? You went back home just for this?”

“Yes, Mom, you’re in so much pain, I feel sorry for you too. By the way, Mom, I’ll go make dinner now.” Zhou Jiaojiao said as she was about to go out.

“No need, Second Sister-in-law, you go make it.”
