Chapter 3

“You, you heartless and vicious white-eyed wolf! Eldest! Eldest, are you dead? You just watch her scolding your brothers?” Zhao Guifen’s face turned red with anger. She pointed at Wang Qinghe and roared.

“Yes, sister-in-law, your words are too harsh. Why would you curse the whole family to death?” Wang’s second daughter-in-law, who was washing vegetables, chimed in unhappily.

“Heh! Why would I curse my brothers to death? It’s our mother-in-law who expects your elder brother to do all the work. I was thinking that the other few were dead. Since they didn’t die, then this work shouldn’t fall on my husband alone.

Uncle Zhang said my body needs to rest for a month or so, otherwise, I might get some kind of illness.

My husband helping me with work is only natural.

What? Do you want to force me to death?”

Bai Xiuxiu looked coldly at them, mocking them mercilessly.

Her second sister-in-law was a shrewd one. In the previous life, the second daughter-in-law followed Zhou Jiaojiao’s footsteps, living a happy and prosperous life. Her two daughters married well, and the son she later gave birth to also enjoyed the good life with the fifth brother’s family.

She specifically helped Zhou Jiaojiao do things that couldn’t be seen. It could be said that Zhou Jiaojiao was completely innocent in the end, all thanks to her throwing the bad things onto the second daughter-in-law, Liu Xiao’e!

In the previous life, she didn’t like Wang Jiarui’s face and didn’t like to listen to unpleasant words. She would just ignore them and leave.

She thought that as long as she guarded her own, she would be fine. As a result, she became a tragic cannon fodder.

Anyway, whether she spoke or not, she was a vicious cannon fodder. Why not speak up?

From today onwards, she would not let this family save any face! Especially Zhou Jiaojiao!

Her decades as a ghost were not in vain!

The fifth sister-in-law’s lucky destiny also had its ways. If she failed to harm anyone, she herself would be unlucky for a few days.

Moreover, as long as the fifth sister-in-law could get a little benefit, her evil destiny would be judged as being good for the fifth sister-in-law.

For example, if she gave the fifth sister-in-law something of unknown origin, no matter how troublesome it was later, she would be judged as a good person at that time. She wouldn’t be unlucky!

As for the subsequent troubles, that was the fifth sister-in-law’s and other people’s problem!

Therefore, this destiny was fixed. But people’s minds were alive!

This was something she only discovered after her husband and the whole family fought.

Unfortunately, she discovered it too late.

Since not speaking was useless, she might as well speak more. Anyway, she was going to offend them anyway, she had to get some benefits back!

“You listen! All of you listen! She’s rebellious! She’s really rebellious!” Zhao Guifen was so angry that she lost her reason.

Her mind was buzzing. Usually, the eldest daughter-in-law would just have a cold dead face and not speak. Today, she didn’t know what got into her, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to make everyone angry.

Wang’s second daughter-in-law was also shocked. Had the eldest sister-in-law hit her head?

“Mom, it’s time to eat. Let’s talk about it later.” Inside the house, Zhou Jiaojiao heard the quarrel outside and felt that the matter shouldn’t be allowed to escalate.

Otherwise, the whole village would know, which would be so embarrassing!

Besides, the eldest sister-in-law didn’t like to work, it was her own shame. As long as everyone outside knew, the eldest sister-in-law would go to the fields to work for the sake of her reputation.

“Eat what? I’m so angry!” Zhao Guifen was furious.

Bai Xiuxiu laughed when she heard this, “Mom, do you see that I can’t eat? Then so be it. Qinghe, go get our food from our room and bring it to the room. Mom sees that we can’t eat, and my head hurts too. Let’s eat in the room.”

“No! What? Do you want to eat in your room? Are you trying to split the family?” Zhao Guifen was furious.

The family shared meals and ate together at the table. This was her best way to manage her sons and daughters-in-law!

The eldest daughter-in-law was trying to challenge her authority!

“Why didn’t she just die in the field?”

“If she was alive, the whole family wouldn’t get a single penny from the Bai family. If she died, for the sake of her two children, the Bai family would have to give the whole family something.”

“Mom, do you want to split the family? I’m not against it. Anyway, the fifth son has married a wife, and I think our house is getting too small. We can’t let the fifth son and his wife live in the firewood shed, can we?” Bai Xiuxiu chuckled. She wasn’t afraid of a split.

However, her mother-in-law would never agree to a split!

If they really wanted to split, it wouldn’t just be her family, everyone else would want to live their own lives.

Besides, this good mother-in-law of hers was still hoping to suck blood from her maiden family.

She was dreaming!

“Pfft! You black-hearted thing, what are you stirring up trouble for? I tell you, unless I die, don’t even think about splitting the family! If you dare to cause a split, I’ll go to the county and sue you! Say you’re unfilial! I’ll see how you live!”

Zhao Guifen stood with her hips akimbo, scolding.

Bai Xiuxiu didn’t even bother to respond. “Qinghe, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the food back to the room.”

She went back to the room first.

She and her husband had married early, and they lived in one of the three main rooms in the house.

Later, the other sons in the Wang family also got married. She and her husband had a pair of twins, and the second son, Wang Qingfu, and Liu Xiao’e, got married and had two daughters in three years. The third son, Wang Qingzheng, and Zhao Cuihua had a son.

The fourth son, Wang Qingliang, and his wife, Chen Fang, had only been married for a year and didn’t have any children yet.

Then there was the fifth son, Wang Qingqi, and Zhou Jiaojiao, who had just gotten married.

The old couple occupied the largest room in the main house, their eldest son’s family occupied the western room, and the second son’s family lived in the eastern room.

The third and fourth sons converted the firewood sheds into rooms and lived separately.

They had argued about this several times.

The fifth son had just gotten married and was currently living with the old couple. The old couple had partitioned the room to separate it.

Bai Xiuxiu remembered that in her previous life, after the fifth son and his wife moved in, her mother-in-law started causing trouble. She wanted Bai Xiuxiu to give up her room, saying that the fifth son and his wife had just gotten married and were living with the old couple, even though there was a partition.

It wasn’t convenient enough.

She and her husband were an old married couple, and it would be perfect for them to move in.

She had simply ignored them. She wasn’t crazy! When this room was assigned to them, it was leaking! She had used her own dowry money to fix it.

The eastern room was warm, while the western room was old and cold. Her mother-in-law cared about her second son and didn’t treat her husband as a human being.

Not to mention that, she had two children, how could she possibly give up her room?

She had paid for it!

At the time, she had felt justified in refusing. But after her death, this became one of the reasons why she was cannon fodder.

When the content of that book appeared before her eyes, a bunch of strange comments also appeared. They were all cursing her, saying she was selfish and mean.

She had paid for the repairs to the room.

Her husband had helped her with the work after he started working. They both worked ten points every day, and during festivals, her sister would send things, and they always shared some.

And yet, they called her mean?

She didn’t understand, but she was shocked!
