Chapter 131

Thinking about what happened today, Zhao Cuihua felt a chill run through her body.

Liu Xiaoe's injuries had healed quite a bit, so she went to the mountains with them today as well.

When it came to bad luck, no one could compare to Liu Xiaoe.

After they entered the mountains, Liu Xiaoe kept tripping and stumbling along the way.

Today, they went to a new place. As soon as they arrived, Liu Xiaoe slipped and hit her head, causing it to bleed profusely.

That was when they encountered the ginseng.

The moment Old Fifth's wife saw the ginseng, she almost kicked Second Sister-in-Law without a care for her condition and hurriedly started digging it up.

On the way down the mountain, she even carried Liu Xiaoe on her back!

When they returned home, the in-laws were even more frightening. Despite Liu Xiaoe being unconscious, they refused to take her to the hospital, insisting that Old Zhang should come and see her first. If he could bandage her up, they would do it at home.

Second Sister-in-Law was lucky; although her injuries looked terrifying, they weren't serious.

Seeing Liu Xiaoe's head wrapped like that, Zhao Cuihua couldn't bear to look at her anymore, especially since she had given Zhou Jiaojiao her eggs so eagerly!

It was simply ridiculous!

"Second Son, when you and Old Fifth go to work tomorrow, sell the ginseng. The money will follow the same rules: half to your mother and me, and the other half will be divided among the family," Wang Shoucheng said after finishing his meal.

Wang Qingqi and Zhou Jiaojiao were unhappy but had no choice but to agree since they hadn't separated from the family yet.

"By the way, about the black market?" Wang Shoucheng urged Zhou Jiaojiao to get down to business.

They had agreed to contact someone today, so why did it get postponed?

Thinking about having to share the profits with the family and still needing to repay Bai Xiuxiu, Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to separate from the family quickly. She wasn't enthusiastic about the black market trade anymore.

But she knew this had to be done.

She needed the money.

With this in mind, Zhou Jiaojiao smiled politely and explained, "Dad, I'll go tomorrow. I'll start preparing tonight. But you need to have the sisters-in-law help me. This is quite complicated, and I can't manage it alone."

"Alright, all of you go help Old Fifth's wife."

Wang Shoucheng instructed the daughters-in-law while still wondering what the eldest son and the team leader might be discussing.

Was the team leader and his wife being too kind to the eldest son and his wife?

He was curious and, once everyone left, tried to eavesdrop by pressing his ear against the wall near the western room.

Zhao Guifen, who had just tidied up the bed, noticed him and was startled. "What are you doing?"

Wang Shoucheng glared at Zhao Guifen but stopped listening when he heard nothing.

If only the wall were thinner, he might hear something.

But it was risky with the eldest son around, so he decided to wait until they were out.

In the western room,

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe finalized the house transaction with Aunt Jinhua.

Everyone pressed their fingerprints and signed the agreement.

In the village, a house sale only required the village seal.

The team leader collected both agreements. "I'll go to the office later and stamp them. I can't bring the seal here."

Chen Jinhua sighed. "Your Uncle Chen is just that stubborn. He says bringing the seal here isn't proper. Once it's stamped, I'll bring it over."

As she spoke, she handed over the money.

Looking at the house, she felt grateful, knowing she had gotten a good deal.

Good deeds truly do bring good fortune!

"Auntie, you can give it to me when I go to the office tomorrow," Bai Xiuxiu said, not in a rush. It was late, so it was better to do it tomorrow.

"Alright, we'll leave now."

Chen Jinhua led her husband out of the house.

After they left, Wang Qinghe poured hot water for his wife.

After they washed up, they also helped their sleepy children wash up. Once everyone was settled, they went to sleep.

Pulling the curtain, Wang Qinghe skillfully held his wife in his arms...

Early the next morning, when Bai Xiuxiu woke up, Wang Qinghe had already finished building the wall and opened a door in the courtyard.

The stove was already lit, and the smell of rice cooking made Bai Xiuxiu feel hungry.

Through the window, Bai Xiuxiu saw the simple gate facing the window and the sealed wall.

In the small courtyard, Wang Qinghe was chopping firewood.

The children were still asleep. After getting dressed and washing up, Bai Xiuxiu went outside.

"Why did you get up so early?" Wang Qinghe was surprised to see his wife up so early.

It's not time to go to the team yet.

"Why don't you do this work at noon?" Bai Xiuxiu looked at all the chores in the yard. What time did he get up this morning?

"I'll go hunting in the mountains at noon. It won't be as convenient after we move. It's cold outside, so go inside. After we eat, I'll take you and the child to the team."

Wang Qinghe looked at his wife squatting beside him, breaking his usual silence. After speaking, he quickly kissed her.

Afraid she would get angry, he kissed her and then lowered his head to sort the firewood.

Bai Xiuxiu was amused by his actions and held his hand that was sorting the firewood. "If you want to kiss me, just kiss me. Why do you look scared?"

Wang Qinghe felt a surge of warmth in his heart and kissed her again, coaxing her, "Go inside quickly."

Bai Xiuxiu went back into the house.

Seeing that the children were still asleep, she rummaged through the chest and took out the nori. There was rice in the pot, and she planned to make a nori egg drop soup later. She also had some dried meat to steam.

After their family finished breakfast and estimated the time, they went to the team.

As soon as Chen Jinhua saw her arrive, she greeted her like a long-lost relative: "You're here! Quickly, Miaomiao, bring part of the accounts to Xiuxiu."

"Sister Xiuxiu, come help." Miaomiao pulled Bai Xiuxiu, afraid she would run away.

Bai Xiuxiu was momentarily stunned.

"The prices for our village's fish have been set by the supply and marketing cooperative. This list contains various items from the cooperative, and we need to calculate what to buy back that would be cost-effective. The cooperative is pressing us, and Accountant Wang doesn't have enough time alone.

Please help with the calculations."

Chen Jinhua carried Bai Xiuxiu's two children over to sit on a large bench to play and explained the situation to her.

Then, Chen Jinhua secretly handed her the stamped agreement.

After taking the agreement and putting it away, Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly helped with the accounting.

The accounting itself wasn't difficult, but there were many items, making it tedious.

By the time everyone finished the accounting, it was already afternoon.

Accountant Wang verified the results and confirmed there were no issues. The team leader rushed off with the list to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Before he could even leave the team office, someone came in: "Bad news, something happened to the team leader."
