Chapter 8

The tiny bundle in her arms made Bai Xiuxiu’s heart melt.

She quickly hugged her precious daughter close and kissed her, “Mommy didn’t cry, Mommy just got something in her eye. Are you not going to sleep, Yueyue?”

The little girl shook her head, her round eyes fixed on the cake on the side.

Bai Xiuxiu quickly picked out a good piece for her daughter, “Yueyue is awake, then you eat first. Mommy will give it to your brother when he wakes up! Mommy will go get you a cup of hot water.”

Bai Xiuxiu got up to get water for her daughter.

Her room had a thermos. This thermos was bought with industrial coupons, which she had asked her sister to get for her.

Because of this, the Wang family had a fight.

After all, this thing was hard to buy.

But her things, no one could touch!

After pouring a cup of hot water for her daughter, she also poured one for herself, and Bai Xiuxiu nestled back onto the kang.

They lived in the north, and it would start snowing in two or three months.

She had to take advantage of the warm weather and get herself some delicious food.

After all, the Wang family’s food in winter was even worse than it was now!

The little girl didn’t know what her mother was thinking, she only knew that the cake was delicious!

As the sky darkened, the family returned from outside.

The first to return was the old lady, Zhao Guifen. She had to come back to cook for the others, so she didn’t need to take full work points in the field.

As for the daughters-in-law, one of them would come back each day.

Today it was the third son’s wife who came back.

But what was different today was that Wang Qinghe also came back.

Bai Xiuxiu could see from the window.

Zhao Guifen was extremely upset at this moment. She wanted to scold her eldest son when she saw him.

He was a grown man, after all, but he didn’t help the others in the family with work. He said he had to come back to take care of his wife.

“I said, eldest, even if your wife is staying at home, you don’t need to rush back to wait on her, do you? I saw her jumping around at noon today! At least have some sympathy for your father and your four brothers, help them do some work!

What’s the matter with you coming back to wait on your wife?

I’m not asking her to cook at home, isn’t it enough for her to lie down?

“You want her to come back too?”

Zhao Guifen became increasingly angry.

Wang Qinghe listened without a word, quickly entering the western room, leaving Zhao Guifen with nothing to say!

She was so angry that her eyes became even more fierce. She glanced at the third daughter-in-law who was watching the fun. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pull weeds from the private plot!”

Inside the room, Bai Xiuxiu saw Wang Qinghe return and put down her water cup. “Qinghe, can you buy some medicinal seeds?”

“Seeds?” Wang Qinghe was stunned.

What did she need those for?

“Yeah, any kind of medicinal herbs will do. I want them.” Bai Xiuxiu didn’t say what she wanted them for, just two words: I want them!

Wang Qinghe’s handsome face showed a hint of difficulty. He sat on the edge of the kang, thinking about the possibility of getting them, before responding to his wife. “I can probably get them, but it will take a few days. After the team finishes the autumn harvest, I’ll go look for them in the mountains.”

“Can’t I go myself?” Bai Xiuxiu was actually looking forward to going to the mountains!

As a ghost, she had seen Wang Qinghe go to the mountains to find medicinal herbs to sell, exchange for resources, and make money!

She wanted to do that too!

Wang Qinghe was immediately unwilling to hear this. He was usually a good-natured man, but his face turned frighteningly dark, and his usually emotionless eyes showed his disapproval. “No!”

Bai Xiuxiu was immediately unhappy.

Seeing her gloomy face, Wang Qinghe couldn’t help but soften. “The mountains are dangerous, I…”

“Then you’ll take me with you when you go.” Bai Xiuxiu didn’t want to argue with him, nor did she want to hear his reasons.

He would naturally know that she wouldn’t get lost in the mountains after he took her there a few times.

Then, what was there to worry about?

Seeing her insistence, Wang Qinghe didn’t object anymore.

He silently started to gather the dirty clothes in the house. He would wash them when the weather was good.

After all, Xiuxiu wasn’t very good at washing clothes.

And… he didn’t want Xiuxiu to do it. Every time he thought about that strange dream, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.

In the dream, his Xiuxiu fell into the river while washing clothes.

He couldn’t remember the details of the dream, only the feeling of despair that spread through his whole body.

Wang Qinghe secretly glanced at his wife, who was eating cake with the curtains drawn. Only when he saw her lively appearance did he feel that it was just a dream!

But if Xiuxiu really died, he probably wouldn’t want to live either.

He didn’t know why, maybe it was like everyone said, he was sick!

If he wasn’t sick, how could he fall in love with Xiuxiu at first sight?

He even felt that Xiuxiu was his life!

“What are you staring at me for?” Bai Xiuxiu felt goosebumps all over her body when he stared at her.

Caught staring, Wang Qinghe blushed. He was relieved that their two children were playing in the yard!

“Why aren’t you talking?” Bai Xiuxiu was even more confused.

“No… I just had a nightmare. Xiuxiu, I dreamed that you died! Although it was just a dream, maybe it was a premonition. Don’t go near water, okay?” Wang Qinghe asked tentatively.

Xiuxiu had been married to him for five years, and he knew her temper well.

She wouldn’t, and didn’t like to do chores. She liked the kind of life that old people called “a pampered young lady.” She was opinionated, and she didn’t like to argue with others.

If she didn’t want to listen or do something that someone told her to, she would simply ignore it.

Although he knew it might make her angry, he still had to say it.

Bai Xiuxiu was stunned to hear his words. A dream?

Dreaming that she died?

She had indeed died that way in her previous life!

What was going on with Wang Qinghe?

But he was reminding her. Bai Xiuxiu sat cross-legged, her face stern, and looked him up and down. “Wang Qinghe, if I die, will you ignore our two children?”

“How could I? They’re your children!” Wang Qinghe was shocked. How could Xiuxiu think of him like that?

The most important person in his heart was Xiuxiu, and then his two children!

Seeing his shocked expression, Bai Xiuxiu wanted to slap him. If she hadn’t been a spirit behind him for so many years, she would have believed him!

This dog man, he had never really cared about his two children!

“Wang Qinghe, if I’m unlucky enough to die one day, if you dare to ignore my two treasures, I won’t let you off! Of course, I won’t die so easily.”

Bai Xiuxiu’s face was serious.

Her warning made Wang Qinghe feel uneasy. “Xiuxiu, why are you suddenly talking about this… You wouldn’t really be seriously ill, would you? Why don’t you go to the county for a checkup?”

“Pfft! Stop jinxing me!” Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but laugh. She swatted away his hand as he reached out to feel her forehead for a temperature.

Seeing his worried expression, she remembered how he had gone crazy, wanting to avenge her in her previous life.

She couldn’t help but feel soft towards him. She leaned down and kissed his forehead…

Wang Qinghe closed his eyes, his flushed face revealing his nervousness and excitement.

“Big brother! I’m switching rooms with the fifth son, Mom wants you to help us move!”
