Chapter 149

Although Bai Xiuxiu didn't understand why Aunt Jinhua suddenly emphasized it, she quickly figured it out after thinking about it.

If she continued her work with the Women's Federation in the village without being registered as a villager, she wouldn't be able to continue.

"Yes, my husband transferred his household registration. I'm just going to live with him in the county, but I won't neglect any of the work here," Bai Xiuxiu continued along Chen Jinhua's line of thought.

However, she had no intention of continuing this way indefinitely.

"Right, you two should get to work." Chen Jinhua assigned them their mediation tasks and then pulled Bai Xiuxiu outside.

She told Bai Xiuxiu about Zhou Jiaojiao's desire for this job.

"She's just daydreaming. If you don't do this job, there are plenty of others who will. How could it be her turn? She doesn't even look at herself. What a dreamer." Chen Jinhua was furious about this matter all night; it was the first time she had encountered someone so oblivious.

"Auntie, don't be angry. I definitely won't give this job to her." Bai Xiuxiu was also repulsed by the Wang family's persistent meddling.

"That's good. Let's go back. It's getting colder, and it looks like it might snow soon." Chen Jinhua led Bai Xiuxiu back into the house.

On the other side, Wang Qinghe finished his business and returned to the county.

It was still early, and he arrived at the factory right on time.

Xiao Zhang had been waiting at the factory gate for a while. Seeing Wang Qinghe arrive, he hurried over. "Brother Wang, I have something to tell you."

Wang Qinghe looked at him in confusion.

Xiao Zhang continued, "I've confirmed the bicycle for you. It'll be ready in less than three days. However... Brother Wang, a couple of days ago, someone from Hu's gang inquired about your family. That Hu guy has always had issues with my brother.

He hasn't done anything good.

They were asking about whether your family has money and about your children. It seems they were verifying something, which my friend overheard.

I think it's not a good sign, so I wanted to let you know.

However, they probably don't know about your move yet, so don't worry."

Xiao Zhang frowned as he relayed the information.

Wang Qinghe's expression darkened upon hearing this.

The Wang family had been unusually quiet recently, but now it seemed they were targeting his children.

"I understand." Wang Qinghe took note of this information.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Zhang, my two younger brothers got beaten up at the commune a few days ago." Wang Qinghe's face turned grim.

"Huh? I heard something about that. Brother Wang, do you want me to talk to the people who beat them up and ask them to go easy on your brothers? I heard they took some money from someone, so that person is trying to extort them.

Because they're related to you, I looked into it more."

Xiao Zhang was puzzled. Was Brother Wang being too kind?

Wang Qinghe smiled. "It's better if my brothers get beaten up more. They took someone's money, so those people shouldn't let them off easily."

Wang Qinghe whispered a few instructions to Xiao Zhang.

After listening, Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up. "Sure, I'll handle it for you, Brother Wang. Don't worry, they won't get off easy. By the way, I also found out about the son of the Zhou family who works in the commune and the county.

As it turns out, your villagers are quite skilled at mischief.

The eldest son of the Zhou family in the county is constantly flirting with a woman..."

Xiao Zhang shared all the information Wang Qinghe had asked him to gather. After receiving the news, Wang Qinghe promptly entered the factory.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiuxiu followed Chen Jinhua to two households in the village to mediate a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. They stayed at the brigade office afterward.

Miaomiao and Liu Xiaohui were far away and hadn't returned yet.

Through the window, Bai Xiuxiu saw Zhao Cuihua looking around, seemingly searching for something.

Bai Xiuxiu stood up. "Aunt Jinhua, I'll be out for a bit."

"Mm, go ahead." Chen Jinhua was drinking tea and didn't ask further when she saw Bai Xiuxiu leaving.

Outside, Zhao Cuihua spotted Bai Xiuxiu immediately and rushed over.

The door to the brigade office was open, and Zhao Cuihua came in, speaking urgently. "Sister-in-law, our parents are planning to harm you. You need to be careful when you come back!"

"Tell me more?" Bai Xiuxiu led her to a corner.

Zhao Cuihua recounted what she overheard early that morning: "This morning, everyone else had left, but I was in the bathroom because of stomach trouble. I overheard the old couple talking about how they must speak to someone today.

That little slut Bai Xiuxiu still needs to come back to the brigade for work. Even if they can't kidnap the kids, kidnapping her would be just as good.

They plan to wait near the brigade and grab her when she's alone. They'll get more money that way.

They're planning to kidnap you or your children.

I'm scared just thinking about it.

Sister-in-law, you need to be careful."

Zhao Cuihua shivered as she recalled the conversation. Her parents had previously tried to kidnap Bai Xiuxiu's children, but now they were targeting her as well.

And they're going to do it right in the village.

Zhao Cuihua thought the more about it, the worse it seemed. If they succeeded, wouldn't those two old things become even more brazen? Who would be safe if they just tied up anyone who didn't listen?

Are they losing their minds?

What era do they think this is? They still want to do such despicable things?

Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect Zhao Cuihua to tell her everything. She glanced at the frightened Zhao Cuihua and said solemnly, "Thank you for telling me this. Rest assured, this isn't over."

Bai Xiuxiu gave Zhao Cuihua five yuan. "Take it. I don't have time to buy you a gift, but you've done me a favor by sharing this information."

Zhao Cuihua didn't hesitate and took the money immediately.

This small transaction between them was understood by both.

"Sister-in-law, please be very careful." Zhao Cuihua still felt uneasy.

Bai Xiuxiu nodded. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After Zhao Cuihua left, Bai Xiuxiu was furious about Zhao Guifen and Wang Shoucheng...

"Xiuxiu, what's wrong with you?"

When Bai Xiuxiu returned to the house, Chen Jinhua noticed she seemed angry and worried something had happened.

Bai Xiuxiu decided to tell Aunt Jinhua about it.

After hearing the story, Chen Jinhua was also enraged. "How can those two old things be so evil? No, I need to tell your Uncle Chen!"

"Aunt, there's no evidence now. If they deny it, no one can do anything," Bai Xiuxiu stopped her.

"What should we do then?" Chen Jinhua was anxious.

"Aunt, they plan to act within the next couple of days. Find an excuse to keep the children from going out, so those people don't get desperate and kidnap someone. We need to catch them in the act."
