Chapter 195

"Exactly, what Laosi's wife said is right. My husband also helped with the harvest these past few days. It was only because he went to the mountains that Laosi had to go alone. As for this money, I absolutely disagree if it comes from the family expenses!"

Zhao Cuihua and Chen Fang echoed each other.

Their words changed Zhou Jiaojiao's face.

This whole family was nothing but a bunch of bloodsuckers! What did they mean by saying they had contributed? Wasn't it their duty to work for her?

Who made them incapable and not in charge?

Before she married into this family, they ate even worse than now. Now she let them eat well and earn money; wasn't that enough?

And they still dare to argue with her about the accounts?

They were truly a family of ungrateful wolves!

So infuriating!

Liu Xiaoe also wanted to say something. She didn't want Old Fifth and his wife to take money from the family either.

Didn't Old Fifth and his wife have their own money? Why should they take from the family?

Besides, visiting relatives? Do they know how to manage a household?

"Dad, whether Old Fifth and his wife take money from the family or not, I didn't want to get involved. However, when Old Fifth and his wife go to the provincial city, Old Fifth will be away from work for several days, and his wife's black market business will also be delayed for several days.

What a huge loss for our family!

Moreover, the reason we owe so much money is because Old Fifth's wife almost got caught, which allowed Eldest Brother and his wife to control us.

Otherwise, there's no way we would have split the family.

We can't keep indulging Old Fifth and his wife just because they caused trouble, can we?

If they really want to go out, they should use their own money.

Otherwise, no one will be comfortable."

Wang Qingfu was the first man in the family to speak up. The other two, who had been silent, felt he made sense after hearing him.

That's right; they weren't taking Zhou Jiaojiao's money for free.

If it weren't for Old Fifth marrying her, there wouldn't be so many problems in the family!

"Eldest Brother, are you saying that everything wrong with the Wang family is my wife's fault? Aren't you being too unfair?" Wang Qingqi was surprised that he could shift all the blame and was so angry he wanted to flip the table.

Wang Qingfu didn't respond, but Wang Laosi already chimed in: "Second Brother is right. It was your wife who caused the trouble. If she hadn't done anything wrong, Mother wouldn't have gotten caught."

"That's right, Old Fifth, sit down. Are you going to argue with us for her?" Wang Laosan urged him to stop causing trouble.

Wang Qingqi, after being scolded by his three brothers, also blamed Zhou Jiaojiao.

Why couldn't she do things properly? If she really wanted to harm Eldest Sister-in-law, she shouldn't make it so obvious.

She had no brains at all.

Zhou Jiaojiao lowered her head, harboring grievances and disdain for this family deep in her heart.

Wang Shoucheng, seeing his sons arguing enough, stepped in: "Enough, stop arguing. You all think you're right, and as your father, if I favor anyone, you won't accept it. This money won't come from our family account."

"Dad?" Wang Qingqi couldn't believe it. Didn't Dad know what he and his wife were planning?

This was all for the future of the Wang family!

Wang Shoucheng ignored him and continued: "However, having good relatives in the provincial city does help our family. Old Fifth and his wife are doing this for the family's benefit, and we can't ignore it. This money will come from me.

I've already allocated some money from the family funds.

What use do I have for money, being half-buried in the ground?

Dad will provide the money.

In the future, if any of you need to visit important relatives, Dad will give you the money."

His gentle attitude moved the Wang brothers.

Wang Qingqi almost cried.

"Dad..."

"Alright, everyone, finish eating. Later, Old Fifth, you and your wife can tell me how much money you need, and I'll give it to you. But don't waste it; it must bring benefits to our family and your brothers."

Wang Shoucheng reminded his son.

"Dad, rest assured, I won't disappoint you." Wang Qingqi's heart was already flying to the provincial city.

The sooner this matter is settled, the sooner Zhou Jiaojiao will calm down.

Zhao Cuihua ate silently, thinking that something was off.

It was normal for Zhou Jiaojiao to visit relatives, and the family's arguments were also expected. But why was Father willing to provide the money?

That wasn't like him.

No one in the Wang family was selfless.

Even the only honest person was bullied to the point of running away.

This whole house, apart from a few youngsters, can't find a single kind person.

Something's not right!

She should be able to get some benefits out of this.

Zhao Cuihua thought, feeling a bit excited too.

Now the whole village knows that my sister-in-law went to the county and is now working at the town government office. How prestigious is that?

And she'll certainly be more generous!

At the village clinic, Old Zhang had just seen off a villager who came to buy herbal ointment when he heard the sound of a bicycle.

He knew it must be his lucky apprentice arriving.

He didn't go inside but waited outside.

Sure enough, after a short while, Wang Qinghe rode up on his bike.

After getting off, he greeted Old Zhang: "Hello, Master."

"You sure call me affectionately now. I never saw you as someone who talks much before. Come inside quickly. I'll make something to eat; let's have a meal together?"

Old Zhang was very fond of Wang Qinghe. Wang Qingqi had done him a favor, and in his eyes, this was a good-hearted kid. It was a pity he ended up in the wolf's den that was the Old Wang family.

Now that the boy wanted to improve himself and even asked him to be his master, he couldn't be happier.

With the master-apprentice relationship, besides his own family, Wang Qinghe was the closest to him.

"Master, I'll eat at home later. Let me cook for you first, and you can teach me while I cook." Wang Qinghe followed him inside.

Old Zhang, hearing this, felt both amused and annoyed: "You little rascal, if I were hungry, I would have eaten already. I just want you to have a bite. Today, Yang Chuanwen brought me a wild chicken, and I'm planning to make chicken soup. You really won't eat?"

Wang Qinghe declined again: "Thank you, Master, but no. Another day, I'll bring one too, and we can eat together then."

"Forget it, don't talk big. I see you're just waiting to go home and eat with your wife. Fine, here's the problem I prepared for you." Old Zhang gave him a look, seeing through Wang Qinghe's intentions.

Wang Qinghe smiled, not denying it.

Then he started writing the problems seriously.

Old Zhang looked at Wang Qinghe's neat and powerful handwriting and felt it was a waste.

There's not a single good-hearted person in the Old Wang family.

"Qinghe, do you have any thoughts about going back to school? I think, even if you don't have a diploma now, it doesn't mean you won't have one forever. The knowledge you learn is yours. You have talent, and with a diploma, preferably high school or even university, you could go much further.

I can only teach you so much."
