Chapter 32
Wang Qingqi immediately became anxious.
He didn’t want to use his own money. With the family’s current situation, if he bought jobs for him and his second brother, they would either split the family or give them all the money. In that case, what was the difference between that and buying a job with his own money?
He wanted to use the family’s money!
If Big Brother didn’t help, he would lose big time.
“You can’t even take care of yourself.” Wang Qinghe didn’t like talking to him, and he didn’t want to talk to anyone else in the Wang family.
If the Wang family was willing to split up, he would have left long ago.
It was because they didn’t want to that they were living like this.
Now, Xiuxiu wanted them to spit out the money, how could he continue to get money for this family?
The persuasion plan failed, and Wang Qingqi’s heart turned vicious.
Big Brother wasn’t willing to help, wasn’t it because he had children? If his two kids were gone, wouldn’t he be willing to help?
It wasn’t that he was heartless, it was just that Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law were too much.
They were all family, why wouldn’t they help him?
The two of them arrived at the place where they were dividing the meat.
At this time, everyone in the village was lining up. When the captain saw them, he greeted them first: “You two come here. Your family made a great contribution today. The village has decided to give you ten kilogram of meat.
The rest will be divided among the villagers.
We’ll give it to you first.”
The captain spoke, and no one else in the village dared to object.
But seeing Wang Qinghe and his brother, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
How come they always got lucky?
Soon, Wang Qinghe and Wang Qingqi went home.
They brought back ten kilogram of meat.
Seeing the ten kilogram of meat, Zhao Guifen’s mood finally improved.
“It’s good that the villagers have a conscience. Alright, quickly find a basin of cold water and keep it cool. Tomorrow, let the fifth son’s wife marinate the meat. We’ll eat it for the New Year.” Zhao Guifen looked at the meat and then satisfiedly let her sons take it away.
This meat, when the New Year comes, will be taken to her mother’s family in the commune!
Then she can use it to curry favor with the second and fifth sons.
Zhao Guifen had a plan in mind, and she couldn’t help but think, if they hadn’t spread the word, and the whole pig had been given to their family, how much money would they have saved!
Then wouldn’t the second and fifth sons’ jobs be completely settled?
The third son’s wife was also a poundsx!
After Wang Qinghe and Wang Qingqi brought the meat back, they went to boil water for their wife.
Late at night, after Bai Xiuxiu washed up, she lay back in bed: “We really need to get a small pot.”
She poked Wang Qinghe.
Wang Qinghe pulled her into his arms and whispered: “Okay, I’ll start asking around tomorrow.”
Zhao Guifen’s illness made things easier for the family.
After all, everyone in the family was either sick or injured.
The only healthy ones, besides the men who had to go to the fields, were Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao wasn’t happy about going to the mountains alone.
If she went to the mountains and didn’t bring anything back, it would damage her reputation. If she brought things back, she would have to share them with the whole family, why?
Because of this, Zhao Guifen finally calmed down.
Bai Xiuxiu didn’t go to the mountains, so Wang Qinghe didn’t have to take the children with him.
She stayed at home with the children during the day, knitting when she had nothing to do, very leisurely!
In a blink of an eye, the autumn harvest was over.
On the day the autumn harvest ended, every household had to make delicious food. After this meal, they would have to tighten their belts for the rest of the days.
They would have to wait until the village distributed grain and money.
Zhao Guifen’s waist had almost healed after a week of rest.
As soon as she could move, she took back control of serving food!
The whole family ate breakfast that morning, and Zhao Guifen gave her old man a look.
Wang Shoucheng nodded and said to his sons: “Now that the autumn harvest is over, we have to start preparing to repair the house. We have a lot of people, so the house will be repaired quickly. Starting today, the fifth son will repair his own house, and the others will help expand the second son’s house.
The second son will go with me to buy wood later, and the others will start preparing to work.
By the way, eldest son, you don’t have to work, you can just go to the mountains.”
Wang Shoucheng didn’t know how long this family could stay together without splitting up. Anyway, he had to make the eldest son bring more benefits to the family before he became useless.
“Yes, yes, yes! That’s the real business. You’re the eldest brother, you have to help your brothers. We’re short of money now. You said that the wild animals in the mountains haven’t gone into hibernation yet. It’s okay, you don’t have to go deep into the mountains.
First, get some wild chickens, wild rabbits, and stuff for the family.
I’ll take them to the commune and give them to your uncle, so that they can help us with our connections.”
Zhao Guifen’s expression was eager, she stared at Wang Qinghe.
Wang Qinghe had no doubt that if he refused now, the expression on his mother’s face would instantly turn cold.
Thinking about what he had discussed with Xiuxiu yesterday, Wang Qinghe nodded in the face of the Wang family’s expectations: “Okay, I can go. But we don’t need the sisters-in-law to help with the house repairs. Mom, just keep doing what you did before, take the sisters-in-law to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms.
Didn’t we agree on that?
Everything has to be shared.
When Mom, you process the prey I hunt, remember me, the third son, and the fourth son. Don’t forget us when you bring back things.
Whether the second and fifth sons’ jobs can be settled depends on fate.”
The joy on Zhao Guifen’s face hadn’t disappeared yet, but after hearing his words, she became furious.
Why?
Why should he get a share of these things?
“Mom, Big Brother is right. Even if you’re planning for the second brother and the fifth son, you can’t ignore us.” The third son, Wang Qingzheng, also chimed in.
This was a major opportunity to benefit themselves! He definitely couldn’t miss it.
The fourth son, Wang Qingliang, didn’t fall behind: “Yeah, Mom, that’s how it should be!”
Zhao Guifen’s face turned black, and she looked at her old man.
Wang Shoucheng wasn’t surprised. No matter what, they had to get the benefits first!
“Alright, I agree.”
As soon as Wang Shoucheng agreed, Zhao Guifen was even more dumbfounded. What? She had to go to the mountains?
Her waist hadn’t healed yet!
Thinking about going to the mountains, Zhao Guifen immediately looked at Bai Xiuxiu.
Bai Xiuxiu saw her looking at her and smiled at her good mother-in-law: “Mom, I’m still sick. Why don’t you think of me when you’re doing good things, but you think of me when it comes to work? Do you want me to die so that my husband can marry again?”
Bai Xiuxiu’s light mockery, when it reached Wang Qinghe’s ears, was different.
He had been having the same dream repeatedly recently, and he couldn’t accept the fact that his wife had left him!
His face immediately turned cold: “Don’t say that Xiuxiu is sick now. Even if she wasn’t sick, I wouldn’t let her go to the mountains. Mom, give up.”
