Chapter 106

Zhao Cuihua was so angry she almost fainted.

Why doesn't Bai Xiuxiu just die? She wants to harm my eggs again!

"If there are no eggs, I might get sick tomorrow. I will definitely explain tonight’s incident when I ask for leave," Bai Xiuxiu added.

Zhao Cuihua cherished her eggs deeply, yet she refrained from voicing her concern.

This is clearly an attempt to extort eggs from her, but if she spoke up, the team leader would find out about this mess at home.

She looked at the old man, trying to seek help.

Wang Shoucheng was also troubled: "Alright, we understand. You should go back and wait. I’ll have Old Second’s wife prepare something for you."

Bai Xiuxiu then went into the house and closed the door.

Zhao Cuihua couldn’t believe it; could this matter be resolved like this?

She was tempted too, but unfortunately, she was not like her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law was part of the Women's Federation, and her brother was obedient.

Her husband was still hiding and not saying a word!

Zhou Jiaojiao couldn’t believe it either. Clearly it was Bai Xiuxiu’s fault, yet now they had to make egg water for her.

What about her?

"Mom and Dad, I’ve never been wronged like this before," Bai Xiuxiu sobbed.

Although Wang Shoucheng wanted to publicly compensate Old Fifth’s wife, he knew that if he did, the eldest daughter-in-law would cause another scene. He decided to endure it for two more days.

"Alright, you’re not entirely blameless either. How could you say such things? Even if it’s true, you must keep it hidden.

If others hear about it, how can our family still live in this village?

You usually seem quite clever, why are you being so foolish now? You’re still young. When Old Fifth starts working at the factory in the commune, you need to learn from your mother how to interact with the villagers.

Don’t think that just because you have some skills, you can ignore everything else.

Look at today?"

Wang Shoucheng began lecturing Zhou Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiaojiao had hoped someone would stand up for her, but instead, she received a lecture. It was clear that they thought she wasn’t cooperating enough and wasn’t being obedient.

Even Bai Xiuxiu behaves like this!

"Did you listen to what I said?" Wang Shoucheng asked, seeing her head down and silent.

"I understand," Zhou Jiaojiao replied reluctantly.

"Good. The matter you mentioned earlier, once the grain is distributed tomorrow, we can start preparing. Don’t go fishing the day after tomorrow; let the eldest go alone." Wang Shoucheng thought that this time, he had to use the eldest one more time.

In the future, when he finds a chance to separate them, he won’t be able to use them anymore.

The eldest doesn’t bring any benefits to the family these days.

It’s not too much to ask for a bit of effort, right?

"No! Mom and Dad, this time, our whole family should go fishing. I keep hearing people say that our family relies on Eldest Brother to work. If we don’t go fishing, wouldn’t that confirm what they say?

My husband and Second Brother will both be workers soon. Our family needs to maintain its reputation.

Everyone must go."

Zhou Jiaojiao quickly made her request.

If only Wang Qinghe goes, Bai Xiuxiu will surely stay home and slack off or go to the brigade office.

Everyone must go to ensure Bai Xiuxiu doesn’t stay home.

This is her best opportunity, and to avoid any mishaps, everyone must be present.

Wang Shoucheng frowned. Why does Old Fifth’s wife have so many issues?

But... she does have a point. To separate the eldest and not give him money, they need a good reputation.

At worst, let the eldest do all the work.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say. Everyone, go back and wait. Old Second’s wife, make dinner." Wang Shoucheng agreed.

After everyone went their separate ways, he sighed heavily.

He felt incredibly exhausted.

He felt like he had to handle everything both inside and outside the home lately!

"Old man, what should we do next? The eldest daughter-in-law isn’t following our lead at all," Zhao Guifen said anxiously.

Wang Shoucheng was also troubled: "Can’t you use your brain? Is it full of potatoes? Also, you need to manage Old Fifth’s wife better. Don’t let her get too carried away. You haven’t managed anything well recently.

I shouldn’t have to worry about everything.

I’m a man of my age, and I should be enjoying life. Can’t you take care of things?"

Zhao Guifen wanted to curse. He talks nicely, but look at what kind of family this is.

One by one, they all cause trouble. What can she do? Yunjiu novel

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe went back into the house, set up the pot again, and the family had a small meal before going to eat dinner in the main room.

The dinner wasn't anything special, but with the mentality of taking advantage of Old Wang's hospitality, even if it was just one bite, they still came over.

Bai Xiuxiu's family of four divided the egg water among themselves and then, under the resentful gazes of the others, swaggered back to their room.

Early the next morning, everyone in the village got up early.

Chen Jinhua came over early to inform Bai Xiuxiu that there was no need to go to the Women's Federation today.

Every household had to prepare for the grain distribution.

When it was nearly time, Wang Shoucheng called his family and they set off.

Seeing Wang Qinghe carrying the two children and bringing Bai Xiuxiu along, Wang Shoucheng felt a knot in his chest.

The eldest son really isn't planning to share the grain anymore!

It's all because of the eldest daughter-in-law. If not for her, how could this happen?

"Qinghe, our family hasn't split yet. If we separate the grain, it will be inconvenient for you two to eat with the family in the future. Besides, it won't look good when people find out," Wang Shoucheng tried to persuade him once more.

Wang Qinghe glanced at Wang Shoucheng: "Dad, I've already earned enough grain for me and my wife these past few years. It's just that I don't want to add any more this year. Do you want to settle the accounts from previous years? If you do, I can."

"You ungrateful brat, what accounts? What's there to settle? I raised you this big, so why can't you show some filial piety?" Wang Shoucheng was completely thrown off by Wang Qinghe's words.

Before he could finish his tirade, he froze.

He happened to be cursing when the Yang brothers passed by.

Their looks at him were quite peculiar.

Wang Shoucheng felt extremely awkward.

This was utterly humiliating; that wretch must have done it on purpose.

He didn't say another word on the way.

By the time they arrived, the line had already formed.

"Xiuxiu, you're here?" Chen Jinhua was also in line, as her husband was in charge of distributing the grain. With the rest of the family either working or too old or young, she had to handle it herself.

Bai Xiuxiu happened to be standing behind her: "Aunt Jinhua, only you came from your family?"

"What else can I do? I asked the Yang brothers to help carry it home later. By the way, are you really separating your grain?" Chen Jinhua was happy for Bai Xiuxiu but worried about her in-laws' reaction.

Bai Xiuxiu nodded: "We have to separate it, otherwise things might get complicated in the future."

At the front, the team leader already had the work points book: "Everyone, the remaining grain in our village has been counted, and the work points have been calculated. Let's start distributing the grain!"
