Chapter 9

Outside, the second son, Wang Qingfu, suddenly shouted, instantly breaking the warm atmosphere in the room.

Wang Qinghe’s face showed a look of grievance.

He was so close! Xiuxiu was about to kiss him!

After a while, Wang Qinghe appeared in the courtyard with a low pressure.

Wang Qinghe had a face that was even more beautiful than a woman’s, but he was strong! He also didn’t like to talk, so when the family asked him to work, he rarely refused.

In this family, he was considered a handsome ox!

Naturally, no one noticed his mood.

Wang Qingfu was also in a bad mood at the moment. Although his mother had promised him many benefits, suddenly moving from the main room to the small room, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss!

“Before, all the bad things happened to the eldest brother. Now it’s my turn, and it’s so annoying.”

“Big brother, you’re the eldest brother, why don’t you think about our fifth brother? You even let Mom put the blame on me, and now I have to switch rooms with the fifth brother. If people hear about it, wouldn’t they think you, the eldest brother, are not being generous?”

Wang Qingfu grumbled, venting his anger at Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe silently listened to his second brother’s words, still not saying a word.

He hated everyone in this family! But he was his parents’ son, his brothers’ older brother, so even though he hated them, as long as they didn’t cross his line, he was willing to do things that didn’t matter to him.

Whether it was working or listening to things he didn’t want to hear.

As long as they didn’t shortchange his wife and children’s food, and didn’t say nasty things to his wife, he didn’t care.

Wang Qingfu was even more uncomfortable being ignored by his brother’s impassive silence.

“Big brother, what’s wrong with you today? First, you make Mom angry, and now you don’t care about us. Are you still our big brother?” Wang Qingfu complained, following him.

Wang Qinghe frowned, not bothering to pay him any attention!

“What are you all dawdling for? Hurry up and move things. Eldest brother, help the fifth brother move too. And your wife? Why isn’t she coming out? As the eldest sister-in-law, don’t you know how to help?” Zhao Guifen came out of the kitchen and yelled twice.

She said it to Wang Qinghe, but she was actually yelling at Bai Xiuxiu in the room.

Inside the room, Bai Xiuxiu had finished eating the “caozi” cake and was drinking hot water. The feeling of being resurrected, the joy of figuring out the crux of everything, and the happiness of having her children with her made her not want to listen to the howling outside.

Anyway, her mother-in-law could only yell a couple of times. If she really came into the room to pull her, her husband would stop her first.

As for ruining her reputation?

If Zhao Guifen dared to say anything, she would dare to send Zhao Guifen to the Women’s Federation!

In the eastern room, Zhou Jiaojiao was looking at her new room, feeling very happy.

After the autumn harvest, this room would be renovated! She would make the room even better than her sister-in-law’s!

Thinking about this, Zhou Jiaojiao felt a little depressed.

She had told her husband about her thoughts while they were in the field, but he had said that her sister-in-law’s room was renovated with her dowry, and the Wang family wouldn’t renovate a room that well.

What was that supposed to mean?

Was he implying that she didn’t have that much dowry?

Her sister-in-law’s family wasn’t here, so she had more dowry. Who could blame her sister-in-law’s family for not being able to help the Wang family?

But could her family be the same? Her second brother worked in the commune! Her eldest brother worked in the county. Although her third and fourth brothers were in the village, their family’s life was better than the Wang family’s. She had married into the family, and she could already help the Wang family a lot.

Besides, she had a lot of dowry too!

In this village, how many girls had dowry when they got married?

It was all her sister-in-law’s fault!

After her depression, Zhou Jiaojiao blamed Bai Xiuxiu. She stared at her eldest brother, Wang Qinghe, who was moving things in, and felt even more jealous.

In the village, she had always thought she was unique! Her family loved her, and she was beautiful. She would definitely be the happiest person in the future.

But then… there was this Bai Xiuxiu. She was an orphan, a jinx, and her husband was only handsome, nothing else.

That’s what she thought, but after she got married, she found out that Bai Xiuxiu had a sister who was married to a powerful man, and a mother who loved her. She had heard from her mother-in-law that Bai Xiuxiu’s dowry might have been two hundred yuan!

That was two hundred!

And… the eldest brother was really handsome.

Although her husband was also good-looking, he was far less handsome than the eldest brother.

Bai Xiuxiu also had a pair of twins. Why?

Zhou Jiaojiao felt like she had been robbed of her happiness. The women in this village shouldn’t be better than her!

Looking at the room again, Zhou Jiaojiao felt less excited.

This room had to be better than her sister-in-law’s!

At dinner time, Wang Qinghe was carrying the food, ready to go back to the room.

Zhao Guifen was even more frustrated. “How many more days does your wife have to lie down? She can’t lie down until the autumn harvest is over, can she? And she’s sick, but she has to eat in the room? What kind of rule is that?”

Wang Qinghe hung his head. “Mom, you forgot to give us a chopstick of food.”

Zhao Guifen: …

“Eat, eat, eat, until she’s stuffed to death! She doesn’t do any work, but she still has to eat the same food as those who do work. Doesn’t she choke?” Zhao Guifen grumbled, but she still added some food.

There was no way around it. After the autumn harvest, winter would be coming soon. In winter, the whole family relied on the eldest son for meat.

Carrying the food back to the room, Wang Qinghe skillfully set the table.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at the food, which was even worse than it was at noon, and felt bitter! She wanted to eat good food!

How could she eat something good without anyone knowing?

It would be great if she could make a small kitchen in the room, but unfortunately… that was basically a daydream.

As for splitting the family?

Zhao Guifen would have to die before she would agree to that.

Besides, she hadn’t gotten her and Wang Qinghe’s money back yet. She wouldn’t be happy about splitting the family!

Thinking about it, Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but touch the bracelet. If only the space inside could hold food!

She was lost in thought, and Wang Qinghe had already brought the food to her.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at his handsome face, a face she didn’t know how to describe, and then at her two children who were eating obediently. She remembered that when she first saw him, she thought he looked like the noble young masters in the novels her sister read!

Later, she had burned all the novels her sister read.

But she couldn’t forget the descriptions. When she saw Wang Qinghe, she felt like those handsome, aloof young masters had come to life!

But she felt that he was more like the fifteenth moon, shining beautifully! It made her feel at ease.

That’s why she gave her two children those names.

“Xiuxiu, the team leader is going to the county tomorrow, and he’s taking a few people from the village, including me. I’ll bring you some steamed buns back, okay?” Wang Qinghe saw that his wife really didn’t want to eat, and he felt sorry for her.

Bai Xiuxiu was even happier, feeling that her husband was even more handsome. What moon, what not, it doesn’t put food on the table. But steamed buns, she could eat them tomorrow!

She was so happy that she didn’t hesitate, and she kissed him passionately. “Bring ten!”
