Chapter 163

If this continues, he won't be able to get anything done before winter arrives. Yang Chuanwen felt distressed just thinking about it!

When Bai Xiuxiu heard about this, she was also shocked.

This?

This didn’t happen in her previous life.

"Xiaohui, why don’t I go with Miaomiao instead?" Bai Xiuxiu looked at Liu Xiaohui, who seemed reluctant to move, and offered.

Liu Xiaohui was the least likely to want to go out among the people in the room.

She wasn’t fond of crowds and was a very quiet person.

Bai Xiuxiu’s suggestion struck a chord with Liu Xiaohui, who immediately agreed: "Okay, you and Miaomiao can go.

Do what we usually do.

Since Aunt Jinhua isn’t here, we can decide for ourselves.

I’ll watch the two kids for you?"

At this moment, Liu Xiaohui found Bai Xiuxiu very agreeable.

Yueyue, seeing that Bai Xiuxiu was going out, immediately ran over: "Mom, I want to go with you."

Yueyue looked at Bai Xiuxiu pleadingly; being left behind these past few days had made her even more attached to her.

"Mom, I want to go too."

Mingming chimed in as well.

Bai Xiuxiu hadn’t planned to leave the two children behind anyway, so she agreed when they clung to her.

"Xiaohui, then I’ll go with Miaomiao first."

"Okay, go ahead." Liu Xiaohui was glad to have some peace and quiet.

After all, she wouldn’t be climbing up, so doing a little less work each day and drinking hot water without going out into the cold suited her just fine.

Her in-laws would still respect her, which was great.

Bai Xiuxiu and Miaomiao followed Yang Chuanwen out.

Behind the village was a large pond that had existed for many years. No one knew what was inside.

Children were not allowed to play on the back mountain.

Adults rarely came near the pond either, as areas near water in the mountains were dangerous.

It was quite unexpected that someone had fallen into the pond.

However, they were lucky enough to have someone passing by.

Otherwise, no one would have known if they died there.

After rescuing the person, because Zhou Jiaojiao’s sister-in-law was having a miscarriage, everyone decided to take her back to their house first.

Bai Xiuxiu and Miaomiao followed them to Zhou Jiaojiao’s family home.

As soon as they entered the house, they heard crying and yelling inside.

"You’re here to collect debts! You’re going to tear this family apart. A perfectly healthy child is now gone.

Get out, get out of here!

And you, Liu Xiaoe! Pay up quickly!

Our daughter-in-law was perfectly fine until you dragged her into the water. She said it herself—you did it on purpose to harm us.

None of you from the Old Wang family are any good!"

Tian Xiaojuan was in a state of despair, yelling at Zhou Jiaojiao and Liu Xiaoe, who had come along.

She was truly unlucky. She had already sent a daughter-in-law away and spent a lot of money for her daughter, which had already upset her sons.

Now, today, she had caused her fourth daughter-in-law to miscarry.

If she didn’t take a stand now, the family would fall apart.

Zhou Jiaojiao was in tears, feeling wronged. This wasn’t her fault.

She had been kind enough to bring her family members along, and her mother knew that. Now that something had happened, it was Liu Xiaoe’s fault, not hers.

Why should she be blamed?

The loss of her brother’s child was heartbreaking for her too.

"Make way, the team is here." Yang Chuanwen shouted.

He pushed through the crowd to let Bai Xiuxiu and Miaomiao enter.

Seeing Bai Xiuxiu, Zhou Jiaojiao’s jealousy instantly twisted her heart: "This is our family matter. The team doesn’t need to interfere.

Mind your own business."

"What do you mean by meddling? They came at just the right time. Isn't it the Women's Federation's job to handle matters like this?

You must stand up for me. It was her who made me fall into the water.

Make her pay compensation!"

Fourth Sister-in-law gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes brimming with tears.

Liu Xiaoe felt extremely wronged: "I said I didn't want to go to the mountains, but it was Old Fifth's wife who insisted on making me go.

Now look what happened..."

"Second Sister-in-law! How could you say that?" Zhou Jiaojiao hadn't expected Liu Xiaoe to try to blame her.

Miaomiao, seeing the situation, thought there wouldn't be much more dispute.

"Xiuxiu, what do you think about this?"

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhou Jiaojiao, who was glaring at her with hatred, and then at Liu Xiaoe.

She had an idea: "Fourth Sister-in-law, are you sure Liu Xiaoe intentionally grabbed you and caused you to fall into the water? If so, she should be arrested just like your Third Sister-in-law.

She was trying to harm someone!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Before Fourth Sister-in-law could speak, Zhou Jiaojiao denied it.

Liu Xiaoe was the most useful person in the family to her, and she couldn't let her get arrested.

Her attitude immediately changed the faces of the Zhou family members.

Zhou Jiaojiao realized this and her expression turned grim.

Bai Xiuxiu ignored her and continued asking the Zhou family: "If this was intentional, we need to report it. If it wasn't intentional and you want private compensation, you can settle it privately. Of course, if you want the village committee or the Women's Federation to intervene, we are willing to help."

Fourth Sister-in-law lay on the bed, feeling miserable.

She didn't even know when she had become pregnant, and now the child was gone.

Tian Xiaojuan wanted to settle privately, despite her daughter's lack of conscience; she was still her daughter.

If Old Wang's Second Sister-in-law got arrested, wouldn't all the work fall on Jiaojiao?

Jiaojiao had said that Liu Xiaoe listened to her.

But she couldn't say that herself.

She needed to see how her own daughter-in-law would react, as her family was more important than her daughter.

Now it depended on what Old Fourth's wife decided.

After weighing her options, Fourth Sister-in-law looked at her husband: "You decide. This is our child."

Old Fourth of the Zhou family had his thoughts: "Why don't we settle privately? The Wang family didn't do this on purpose.

We are in-laws, after all. Let's handle this behind closed doors."

Bai Xiuxiu had guessed they would choose this option. She had only mentioned it to upset Zhou Jiaojiao.

The Zhou family, after today's incident and Zhou Jiaojiao's defense of Liu Xiaoe, would treat her differently from now on.

"If you want to settle privately, do you need us to mediate?" Bai Xiuxiu asked Fourth Sister-in-law.

"No need," Fourth Sister-in-law said through her tears.

She already knew what her husband meant.

"Sister Xiuxiu, shall we leave?" Miaomiao couldn't bear to watch this anymore, her tone turning cold.

Zhou Jiaojiao tried hard to control her anger, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Why did Bai Xiuxiu have to interfere in her family affairs?

Why did she always have to be better than her?

Bai Xiuxiu noticed the dangerous look in Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes and smiled: "Shall we go? Don't worry, we'll call the Wang family over.

After all, they should be informed, right?"
