Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 11 The Stepmother Came to Find Trouble

"Xiaojing, are you alright?" Concealing the disgust in his eyes, he quickly stepped forward and looked his niece up and down. "Why did you fight with him? Did he bully you again?"

Seeing her second uncle so protective of her, Bai Jing couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

"Second Uncle, he threw the stone at my head first." Just like a child encountering a parent who would stand up for them, Bai Jing couldn't help but blurt out to her second uncle.

Actually, when she was little, her second and third uncles were more like her fathers, taking care of her more than her biological father.

She relied on her two uncles more than her biological father. If her father hadn't changed his mind after her grandfather's death, he probably would have made her mother get a divorce as soon as she came back.

"Fourth brother, you are an elder, how can you always think about bullying the younger generation? Is this how your mother raised you?"

Uncle Bai was also very angry. He had said it before, but his father thought it was just children playing around and nothing serious.

I never see my older brother's kids getting beaten up.

Bleeding is common.

"Pah! You bastard, just you wait, I'm not done with you yet!" Bai Zizhong got up from the ground, ignoring the pain, shouted at the two of them and ran down the mountain, "Today I'll make you wish you were dead, or I'll change my surname to yours."

Bai Zizhong ran away.

Uncle Bai sighed, "What a mess. Come on, Uncle Bai will go back with you. I'll ask your third uncle to come over later too. I don't believe your grandfather really doesn't want us sons anymore."

He was pleased that his niece had hit his fourth brother; at least she knew how to fight back.

Unlike before, when he was like his older brother, always keeping a low profile regardless of right or wrong, never uttering a sound.

"Okay, thank you, Second Uncle and Third Uncle. Let's go back."

She's got quite a few pheasants today, saving her the trouble of delivering them to each household.

"What's that basket you're carrying? Is it heavy? Do you want your second uncle to help you carry it?" Uncle Bai looked at the basket, which was as tall as his niece, and said with concern. He reached out and, before she could speak, took the basket off her back.

Bai Jing was completely bewildered. "Second Uncle, you were already planning to take it, so why are you asking her?"

However, when Uncle Bai took the basket and saw what was hidden under the wild vegetables, he opened his mouth and it took him a while to find his voice.

"Xiao Jing, did you bring all these pheasants back here?" He suspected that Xiao Jing might have sourced them from someone else's trap.

Bai Jing nodded, unaware that her second uncle mistook her for a thief.

"Yes, there's a wild well on the back side of the mountain, and there are pheasant nests around it. I covered them all with a basket."

She breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she had the system put half of the pheasant into her spatial storage when she saw Bai Zizhong.

There are only four or five in the basket now, so no one will suspect anything.

Sure enough, although Uncle Bai was surprised to hear her words, he didn't say anything more.

"Next time you go into the mountains, find a companion. Don't go alone; it's dangerous." Uncle Bai picked up his basket and brought Bai Jing back.

It's only a few dozen meters from her home, not far at all.

When Bai Jing got home, she saw that her younger brother, sister-in-law, and mother hadn't returned yet. She poured out the wild vegetables and pheasants, saying, "Second Uncle, take one back with you later, and also send one to Third Uncle. I won't go over there." Her second and third uncles lived on the mountain opposite her house.

It takes about twenty minutes to walk there and back, and she doesn't want to climb.

Uncle Bai knew about his sister-in-law's family situation. No matter how much he wanted the meat, he wouldn't take it. "Keep it for yourself. It'll help you and your mother to get some nourishment." He felt sorry for his niece's short stature, but with the family's limited resources, there wasn't much he could do to help.

"There are five of them. Second Uncle, please don't be so polite with my family, otherwise we won't accept anything from you, Second Aunt, or Third Aunt next time."

After saying that, Bai Jing picked out two plump pheasants and placed them next to her second uncle. "Take them back for Yu Meng and Yu Xing to eat better; they're too thin." She was returning the favor to what her second uncle had just said to her. These days, who could raise a fat child? In their village, all the children looked like bean sprouts.

Children from families with better financial conditions are generally cleaner; there aren't many overweight children among them.

Uncle Bai wanted to refuse, but Bai Jing didn't give him a chance at all. "I hit Bai Zizhong today. My stepmother will definitely come looking for me later. Uncle, are you planning to just ignore me?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Bai couldn't refuse. "Alright, I'll send it back now. I'll call your third uncle over then. That family is getting more and more outrageous. Don't worry, this time your second uncle and your third uncle will definitely not let your stepmother bully you."

Her second and third uncles often stood up for her family, but unfortunately, her family had a father who was a burden. Whenever something happened, he would step in and take the lead, favoring her stepmother's family.

Because of this, my second and third uncles argued with their father a lot, but what good did it do?
In the end, it was still the sister-in-law's family who suffered.

In the end, all we could do was watch and hope that this would stop that family from coming to cause trouble.

They dared not keep anything of value in the house, for fear that she might go crazy one day and bring her old man to plunder it.

Sigh, why didn't anyone stop the old man from marrying her back then?

Thinking about these things made Uncle Bai regret it so much he almost vomited blood.

"Yes, I trust my second and third uncles." As long as her father isn't around, she's sure to win this fight. At worst, her father will scold her when he gets back, but that won't hurt her.

One good thing about her father was that he never hit his children. No matter what the matter was, he would just talk and then let her mother do it.

Bai Jing knew that unless necessary, her mother would not hit her children, and even if she did, it would be a grand affair with a light touch.

"Alright, don't cook any meat tonight. Hide it well, especially not in the cellar, or your stepmother will rip it off." Uncle Bai got up, picked up two pheasants, and prepared to go back, but before leaving, he gave Bai Jing a final word of advice.

Bai Jing naturally knew that she couldn't openly store things in her cellar. "Okay, I won't hide anything in the cellar."

Uncle Bai found a snakeskin bag, put the two pheasants inside, and strode towards his home.

He had to act quickly, otherwise his niece would suffer if that crazy woman came.

After her second uncle left, Bai Jing hurriedly packed up, naturally hiding all the wild chickens in the system space.

Before she could even start a fire, shouts and curses came from the mountain stream.

"You heartless good-for-nothing, you even dare to hit your uncle, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"You bastard, you worthless wretch who was born of a father but raised by one, how dare you hit my son? I think you're tired of living. Today, I'll skin you alive and make you take my surname."

"You short-lived dog, you got your brains chopped off."

Bai Jing wasn't afraid at all when she heard these insults.

He even walked directly into his own yard.

I want to see what kind of people her stepmother brought this time.

It happened to be the time when people were getting off work, and quite a few people came to watch the spectacle.

Most of them were people who were close to her stepmother.

Bai Jing looked around the yard and then saw a stick that looked quite nice to her. She smiled and picked it up in her hand.

Waiting for them to come to our door.

I overslept last night and forgot to set a timer, sorry! There will be another chapter tonight, hehe.
