Chapter 51

Awkward… The whole courtyard was silent, except for Zhao Guifen herself, who was groaning in pain.

Next door, Old Lady Feng came out to pour water. Seeing that the Wang family was making a scene again, she curiously glanced at the courtyard. This glance set Zhao Guifen off.

She covered her butt and grumbled: “What are you looking at? You don’t have your own life to live, what are you looking at?”

“Bah! Who wants to look at you? I’m just seeing if you’re bullying your sons and daughters-in-law again. What’s there to look at, you black-hearted old woman? Don’t think that everyone doesn’t know what happened back then!” Old Lady Feng spat in disdain and turned to leave.

What happened back then?

Bai Xiuxiu’s gaze fell on Old Lady Feng.

She took note of it.

Zhao Guifen was scared by her words and her tone became even worse: “What are you all standing there for? Quickly go to the brigade and borrow an oxcart! Don’t take me to the hospital, are you trying to let me die? Oh my… my leg! What have I done to deserve this?” https:/

Zhao Guifen’s bitten side, along with her entire leg, was swollen. It was no less swollen than the wild boar leg from that day!

“What hospital? Third son, go find Old Man Zhang first. Let him see if your leg needs to go to the hospital. If not, treat it at home.” Wang Shoucheng looked at his wife, his face not looking good.

Going to the hospital would cost a lot of money.

She really didn’t know how to manage money!

“What are you standing there for? Go quickly!” Zhao Guifen was in so much pain that she had lost her mind. She didn’t care who she was asking, as long as she was treated.

“You guys, first carry your mother into the house.”

Wang Shoucheng directed his sons while looking at the bag: “Fifth son’s wife, is the snake in this bag?”

Zhou Jiaojiao was still shocked by her father-in-law’s attitude towards her mother-in-law. When he asked about her bag, she nodded dumbly: “Ah… yes, it’s the snake.”

“Later, have Old Man Zhang identify it for us. What kind of poisonous snake is it? Can we sell it?” Wang Shoucheng thought about what his wife had told him last night, about the fifth son’s wife’s good luck. Now he finally believed it.

It seemed like whenever the daughter-in-law went to the mountain, she had something to show for it.

But this daughter-in-law really, why didn’t she say it earlier?

If she had said it earlier, would they have agreed to split the family’s extra income?

Right, eldest son!

“Qinghe, where’s your prey?” Wang Shoucheng stared at Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe, hearing this, calmly put down the basket: “Dad, I didn’t even see a single rabbit in the mountain today. They must have been scared away by all the hunting these past few days.”

The smile on Wang Shoucheng’s face instantly disappeared.

What? Nothing? They had even compensated for two eggs this morning! They were all eaten by the eldest son’s family!

Before Wang Shoucheng could get angry, Wang Qinghe started to paint a rosy picture: “Dad, I probably won’t be able to catch small prey. I’m going to start setting up ambushes for big prey tomorrow.”

Wang Shoucheng’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

Those small things wouldn’t sell for much money. If he could encounter big prey, they could share the profits.

But… the daughter-in-law’s luck, he would watch for another half month. If it continued, and he couldn’t squeeze any oil and water out of the eldest son, then he would kick the eldest son out of the family.

He couldn’t let him take advantage of the family.

Wang Qinghe didn’t need to guess to know what Wang Shoucheng was thinking. He nodded: “Really, Dad. I’ll go back to the house first. I’m so tired today…”

He said this and then went into the house with his wife.

Ever since he came back, Xiuxiu had been staring at him with bright eyes. She must have some good news.

He preferred to go back to the house and look at Xiuxiu and the two children, rather than staying in the courtyard and looking at the people he didn’t like.

As soon as they entered the house, Bai Xiuxiu pulled him down to sit: “I have some good news for you!”

“I have some good news for you too.”

Wang Qinghe said this, and took out three glass jars. The jars were the size of the canned food they usually ate. He had sewn a large pocket inside his clothes, and he was wearing thick clothes for the mountains, so he was able to bring them into the house without anyone noticing.

“I found a beehive a few days ago. I got all the honey out today.

It’ll be enough for you to eat all winter.”

Wang Qinghe looked at his wife, his voice so soft as if he was afraid of scaring her.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at the honey, and she couldn’t help but smile. Who wouldn’t like to eat something sweet!

She hugged him and kissed him hard: “Let me tell you my good news.”

Bai Xiuxiu told him about the headman’s wife, Chen Jinhua, coming over today.

“How is it? Good news, right?” Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t hide her joy. Most importantly, with this job, it would be much easier for her to control the Wang family.

“That’s great, you won’t have to work in the fields anymore.” Wang Qinghe was even happier than Bai Xiuxiu!

He held her hand with a heart full of love: “Before, although I helped, you still had to work in the fields. When you married me, I promised that I would never let you do anything you didn’t like. But…”

“Why are you talking about this?” Bai Xiuxiu’s heart felt as sweet as the honey.

In her last life, Wang Qinghe was good to her, and she thought it was because he had a good temper. But later, when she was behind him, she realized that he didn’t have a good temper, he was just good to her.

She didn’t know if it was love or not, but no one would want to refuse this kind of unique treatment!

“By the way, about the pot, Uncle Wu Si found one. It’s eight yuan, no tickets needed, but it’s small, just the size of a small frying pan. I’ve already ordered it. I’ll have Chen Chengcai bring it over tomorrow.

If they ask, just say it’s a mailed package.”

Wang Qinghe said this, and then took out a roll of money. It was sixty yuan. “I sold the angelica this morning. It was supposed to be sixty-five yuan, but I exchanged the five yuan for fifteen bath tickets from him.

These are food tickets, these are industrial tickets, and these are daily necessities tickets.

They said there will be more people exchanging tickets at the end of the year, so we can only get these now.”

Wang Qinghe handed her the things on the list Bai Xiuxiu had made, one by one.

Bai Xiuxiu put away the tickets. She couldn’t live without them!

When she was at her parents’ house, her mother had taken care of her and her sister, and she had gotten used to this kind of life. After marrying Wang Qinghe, he hadn’t deprived her of these things!

“Old Zhang, you can’t leave! If you leave, who will save my wife?” Wang Shoucheng pulled Old Man Zhang, who had been invited to see a doctor.

Old Man Zhang was determined to leave. He grumbled: “You want me to save someone? Or do you want me to harm someone? Your wife’s leg is swollen like a pig’s leg! If you don’t take her to the hospital, she won’t even be able to save her leg!

You have the time to stop me, why don’t you go save her!”

After saying this, Old Man Zhang yanked his sleeve out of his hand and quickly left the Wang family.

“Dad, what do we do now?” Wang Qingfu, the second son, was also a little panicked and a little reluctant to spend money. Mom really, she didn’t bring back the bird’s egg, she ate it raw, and then she got bitten by a snake.

She’s so old! Why did she do that?
