Chapter 47

Zhou Jiaojiao had a plan for the bicycle.

“Is that possible?” Wang Qingqi was startled. His parents weren’t that generous.

Especially for something as valuable as a bicycle, which not every family in the city had.

Besides, even if his parents were willing to pay, they couldn’t get a bicycle ticket!

Wang Qingqi’s mind started working. He stopped massaging her back and sat up abruptly: “Will Mom and Dad agree to this?”

Zhou Jiaojiao pinched him and said with a pout: “If they don’t agree, we’ll beg them. Anyway, this has to happen. Don’t think that Mom and Dad are transparent about their accounts in front of us, saying that’s all the money in the family. I’m guessing there’s more.

Then, we’ll ask them to secretly make up for it.

I’ll just say it was bought by my parents.

I think this family will eventually be split up by Big Brother and Sister-in-law. Before they split, we have to get all the money from Mom and Dad into our hands.

Don’t you want to have no money after the split, and have to support the two old people?”

“That’s true… but won’t Mom and Dad follow Big Brother and Sister-in-law?” Wang Qingqi was a little uncertain. He hoped that his parents would live with Big Brother. His parents were old, they wouldn’t be able to do anything in the future, and they would eat everything without leaving anything.

How would he and Jiaojiao live if they followed them?

If they followed Big Brother, they could get some money from Big Brother and Sister-in-law from time to time to support him and Jiaojiao. That would be the best!

He wouldn’t have to support his parents, and he could still get some money.

“Humph, I’d like them to follow us, but look at the attitude of those two old people. They’ll definitely follow us, or the second brother’s family. This is still a long way off. What we need to do now is get the money into our hands.”

Zhou Jiaojiao’s mind was racing when she thought about the family’s assets.

Late at night.

Bai Xiuxiu washed up and thought about how the whole family should go to the bathhouse in the county in a few days.

They didn’t have many bath tickets left, and they also needed to exchange some other miscellaneous tickets.

When her husband came back with the water, Bai Xiuxiu mentioned this.

Wang Qinghe knew all about various miscellaneous tickets!

Before he married Xiuxiu, he hadn’t even heard of these tickets. But since marrying Xiuxiu, he had become very familiar with frequenting various places where people exchanged tickets.

“I’ll go exchange them. What do you need, make a list.” Wang Qinghe readily agreed.

Bai Xiuxiu was satisfied and kissed him: “Okay, I’ll make it tomorrow morning. By the way, we need to prepare dried goods for this area this year. Send them to my sister later.”

Wang Qinghe was very familiar with all of this: “I’ve already talked to Liu Erhu. I’ll exchange prey with him later, and he’ll help us dry them. I’ll take them to the mountains, exchange them there, and then mail them directly.”

“Wife, can we go to sleep now?” Wang Qinghe looked at Bai Xiuxiu expectantly.

Seeing his expression, Bai Xiuxiu blushed slightly: “Go to bed quickly!”

Early the next morning, Bai Xiuxiu got up early and started making a list.

She listed all the various tickets they needed at home.

She also gave Wang Qinghe forty yuan and ten jin of grain tickets: “You’ll need a lot of things these days, take more money with you.”

Wang Qinghe put away the list his wife made: “I’ll listen to you. Last night I was washing clothes by the river, and I found that the river water is now freezing cold. You’re not feeling well, don’t go there. I’ll wash the clothes.”

Wang Qinghe put away the money and couldn’t help but bring up his worries again.

The person who pushed Xiuxiu in his dream, he couldn’t see his face.

Every time, after the person pushed Xiuxiu into the water, the scene in his dream changed.

It changed to the scene of Xiuxiu’s death.

Xiuxiu, who always joked with him, liked to act cute, liked to boss him around, and always had countless requests, lay there motionless.

It had become his nightmare!

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he could see her again, perfectly fine, in front of him.

This had been going on for days, the dream was haunting him, and he had started to be afraid of sleeping.

He was also afraid of Xiuxiu leaving his sight.

Bai Xiuxiu noticed that Wang Qinghe was really afraid of her going to the river?

Could it be that he was also reborn with her? It didn’t seem likely. Looking at his later behavior, if he was really reborn, this whole family wouldn’t have lived to see dawn.

Could it still be the nightmare he was talking about?

“Why are you so afraid of me going to the river?” Bai Xiuxiu looked at her husband and decided to clear up her doubts. Of course, she had to ask if she was curious!

Wang Qinghe, hearing this, showed a hint of embarrassment on his otherwise handsome face. He lowered his head, not daring to look at her: “That nightmare, I’m still having it…”

“Why don’t you go see a doctor?” Bai Xiuxiu was also a little worried.

Having the same dream repeatedly, maybe he was sick.

Wang Qinghe shook his head: “My head doesn’t hurt. Xiuxiu, don’t go near the water, and I’ll be fine.”

“Then I won’t go. Don’t be afraid that I won’t listen to you.” Bai Xiuxiu suspected that he was just scared by the dream at first, and then kept having it!

“Wang Qinghe? Dead inside? Come out and work!” Zhao Guifen shouted from outside the window.

Bai Xiuxiu frowned and wanted to retort, but Wang Qinghe kissed her and stopped her.

He brought her a cup of honey water: “I’ll go out and take a look. Xiuxiu, drink some water and then get up to wash up. Don’t listen to them, and don’t worry about them.”

Wang Qinghe said this, and then went out.

The sweetness of the honey water made Bai Xiuxiu’s eyebrows relax.

Through the window, she could see Wang Qinghe working after listening to his mother, Zhao Guifen.

This was also something she couldn’t understand about her husband.

It was the same in her last life. Before she died, this man never thought of taking revenge on this family for their stinginess.

He didn’t even have much resentment.

It was the same now. He wanted to split the family because the Wang family didn’t like her, and because she wasn’t happy in this family.

It wasn’t because he wanted or didn’t want something for himself.

“Mommy…” Yueyue’s slightly aggrieved voice interrupted Bai Xiuxiu’s thoughts.

Turning around, she saw her daughter struggling with her clothes, her face full of grievance.

The buttons on this sweater weren’t easy to fasten.

Seeing her pitiful expression, she could only smile and hug the child into her arms, fastening the clothes for her.

Then she got off the kang and went to the table to get the honey water for the two children.

“Drink it and then go wash your face. Remember to brush your teeth and gargle.” Bai Xiuxiu instructed her two children, and then she began to tidy herself up.

The Wang family’s breakfast was even more watery than dinner.

Especially without the chicken bone soup, it was even more bland!

The cabbage from their own vegetable patch, which had been frosted, was thrown into boiling water and considered a soup. Cornmeal and buckwheat chaff were mixed together to make flatbread, which was their breakfast.

There wasn’t even any pickled vegetables.

There wasn’t a drop of oil on the entire table!
