Chapter 130

"It's fine. You know how they are; they just want to take advantage. They don't have much courage, and this time they're trying to set up a relative, hoping to make a few bucks as middlemen.

They wouldn't dare offend the new neighbors over this.

Besides, now that the deal is done, what can they do?

If anything happens, I wouldn't keep it from you two. We're not the kind of people who harm others."

The old lady explained.

Xiao Zhang was relieved.

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe took their children back to the village, collected the necessary documents for the house purchase, and went back to the county.

Since there were no disputes on either side and the old lady's house had all the required paperwork, the transaction was completed quickly.

Bai Xiuxiu handed the money to Seventh Aunt, finalizing the deal.

"Wang Brother, Sister-in-law, my Seventh Aunt will clear out the house this afternoon. You can move in whenever you like. But you must call me when you move; I'll come help and warm your new home." Xiao Zhang, who had accompanied them, reminded them before they left.

"Sure, we'll definitely call you."

Wang Qinghe agreed, knowing they would need Xiao Zhang's help with the move.

After finishing the house transaction, they returned to the village late at night.

Passing by the brigade office, they saw Chen Jinhua getting ready to leave.

Seeing the couple return, Chen Jinhua greeted them: "How did it go? What did you think?"

She seemed even more eager than Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe.

"It's all settled. We just need to pick a convenient day to move." Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel happy about it.

Once they moved, she wouldn't have to worry about her children being troubled by the people in the main house.

Still, they needed to find jobs soon, or it could become an issue.

"That's great, but you should find work in the county as soon as possible, even if it's just a temporary job," Chen Jinhua said, sharing both their joy and concern.

Without jobs in the county, they'd end up commuting, which could lead to gossip.

"We're already working on it." Bai Xiuxiu wasn't worried about finding work; they had enough money to buy a job if necessary.

Xiao Zhang also had connections, so it shouldn't take long.

"That's good." Chen Jinhua felt relieved.

"Aunt Jinhua, about the house we discussed?" Bai Xiuxiu thought it best to settle everything today.

Chen Jinhua wanted to finalize things quickly too; she had already told her sister, who was eager to move in immediately. However, since Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe hadn't decided when to leave, she had advised her sister to be patient.

"Let's settle the house details. We'll move in the next few days, and then your sister can move in." Bai Xiuxiu gave herself and Wang Qinghe some extra time.

"Alright, I'll call Uncle Chen later, and we'll discuss it at your place. I need to go home and cook dinner." Chen Jinhua felt reassured and left promptly.

When Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe returned home, the Wang family was in the courtyard, looking at them as if they were enemies.

Seeing them, Zhao Guifen remembered her money.

But thinking about what her son had told her earlier, she couldn't help feeling smug: "You're back? Some people don't know how to appreciate what they have. They think they've gained something, but in fact, they've lost big!"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't want to engage with Zhao Guifen's rant and walked straight to her yard with Wang Qinghe.

"Old Fifth made a good impression on his first day at the factory. The factory rewarded him with four cans of food. You won't see any good days in this family anymore!"

Zhao Guifen expected Bai Xiuxiu to respond, but neither she nor the eldest son acknowledged her, leaving her frustrated and shouting.

Bai Xiuxiu paused, turned around, and replied: "Really? That's great. We look forward to Old Fifth earning enough to pay us back."

Then she hurried inside.

On such a cold day, she didn't want to argue with the Wang family.

Zhao Guifen's mood plummeted.

Even the cans of food lost their appeal.

Thinking about having to repay the debt with his parents, Wang Qingqi felt even more resentful.

Why should he?

He had earned recognition at the factory and future success, yet he had to pay his brother first?

Clearly, Jiaojiao's parents had already paid a thousand yuan, so this matter should have nothing to do with him and Jiaojiao.

It was all their parents' fault!

The elder brother and sister-in-law deserved to die.

"Little Wu, don't listen to that heartless thing, your sister-in-law. You must work hard. Isn't there still a chance for you to go to the canning factory in the county? You've always been capable since you were young, and our whole family is counting on you."

Guifen thought about her son working in the county as a worker and felt a bit excited already.

Jiaojiao also took these words to heart, looking at her husband and couldn't help but smile.

After suffering such a big loss this time, her luck seemed to have improved.

She even found ginseng in the mountains.

Her husband had also made contributions at the factory, and it wouldn't be long before Qingqi could go to the county.

Then, she could leave this village too.

Thinking this, Jiaojiao looked at Qingqi with a gentle expression: "Qingqi, what Mom said is right; you need to work harder."

In the evening, after Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe finished dinner, not long after, the team leader was pulled over by Chen Jinhua.

When they entered the Wang family's courtyard, it startled the Wang family.

They were just eating when they saw them come in.

Wang Shoucheng hurried out: "Team Leader, why are you here? Our family..."

Their family didn't have any issues today!

The team leader was about to explain, but Chen Jinhua spoke first: "We have something to discuss with Xiuxiu; it has nothing to do with you."

She then dragged her husband into the next courtyard.

As for what exactly it was, she didn't say.

The Wang family was curious, itching to know.

Cuihua finished her meal quietly, seeing how they all looked like they wanted to eavesdrop, and couldn't help feeling speechless.

She understood that this whole family, tied together, wasn't as smart as her brother and sister-in-law.

Why make enemies?

Why not just repay the money and live a good life?

No, she needed to get more money in her hands and hurry up and separate from the family.

Otherwise...

Cuihua glanced at Liu Xiaoe, whose face was bandaged like a ball, and felt scared!
