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

Chapter 23 The Pleasant Division of Spoils 01
The system went silent.

Bai Jing stopped paying attention. She felt that the system might also need to consider whether it should continue to be bound to its useless host.

"Help me find pheasants," Bai Jing said to the system again.

[Ding, a pheasant range has been planned for the host based on the host's current abilities, costing 100 yuan.]

Bai Jingxin was satisfied upon hearing about the deduction.

After all, a single pheasant costs ten yuan, so a flock of pheasants is well worth that price.

During the pheasant hunt, they found a lot of wild eggs. Bai Jing had the system scan them to determine their quality and added all the good ones to her storage space.

The basket is already full; there's not much room left.

Bai Jing returned home with a full load.

When she got home, she heard a lot of voices. After listening carefully, she realized that both her second and third uncles' families had come.

The children weren't around, so only the adults were speaking.

"Mom, aunts, I'm back!" Bai Jing happily carried a basket on her back and a pheasant into her backyard through the back door.

Her voice startled the five people who were busy in the kitchen.

"Wow, Xiaojing, you're quite capable! So many pheasants. Looks like you have a good supply of pheasants in the mountains behind your house." The second uncle was closest to Bai Jing and strode towards his little niece. Naturally, his eyes were drawn to the pheasants she was carrying.

Then there was the basket on her back, which was about the same size as her. "My God, where did Xiaojing get all this?" Uncle Bai looked nervous when he saw the grain in the basket.

"Second Uncle, don't overthink it." Second Uncle was good in every way, but he couldn't hide his feelings. He probably suffered too much when he was young, and he got cirrhosis before he was sixty and died. He died in pain. From the time he was diagnosed to his death, it was only a short month.

If given the chance, she didn't want her second uncle to die young. "I took these from tree holes and mouse holes in the mountains. If you don't believe me, second uncle, come with me this afternoon."

If she remembered correctly, her second and third uncles' families were also almost out of food.

We're placing our hopes in the mountains.

"No, no, I won't. My second uncle has a lot of work points this year. He can borrow some grain from the village and get through it." He couldn't possibly steal his niece's food rations. At worst, he could go to the back of his house and search the mountains. Maybe he could find some there too.

Bai Jing could see that her second uncle was tempted, but she could also see his hesitation. "Alright, the mountains are so big. I've only looked at the area behind my house so far. If your second and third uncles are free, how about we go to the mountain on the other side this afternoon?"

As she spoke, she pointed to the mountain to the right of her house. The mountain was not high, and there was a path leading up to it. However, it was said that there were wild boars deep in the mountains, so few people in the team went there.

That's a good thing for her. If she can find a wild boar, she can take her second and third uncles with her.
The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes.

Back in the kitchen, the grain that Bai Jing had carried back was also seen by everyone.

"So many!" the two aunties exclaimed enviously.

"Aunties, do you want to go together this afternoon?" Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, and my mother doesn't have to go to work, so it's a rare moment of leisure.

"go."

The two agreed without hesitation.

However, the two uncles disagreed, saying, "Why go? If you want to go, go for a walk in the back mountain yourself." Their words were rather harsh.

The two aunties calmed down after being yelled at.

Yes, if I go, Xiao Jing's food supply will decrease. No matter how difficult things are at their family, there are men to support them. But as for my sister-in-law's family, forget it, they won't go.

“Your uncle is right. We won’t go with you this afternoon. We’ll go for a walk behind the house by ourselves.”

The houses were all built next to the mountain, with forests behind them. If you wanted to go into the mountains, you didn't really need to go anywhere else.

However, it's not easy to be like Bai Jing.

Bai Jing naturally saw through her uncles and aunts' thoughts. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, if you keep acting like this, I won't talk to you anymore. Besides, these were all taken out of tree holes and mouse holes, not our family's grain. Why are you so worried about them?"

"The mountains are so big, I can't possibly empty the whole place by myself, you all overestimate me." Bai Jing was really going all out to persuade her uncles and aunts.

Luo Chunhua also joined in the persuasion.

This finally convinced the four of them to stop and agree to go for a walk on the opposite mountain together that afternoon.

The reason why the second and third uncles had to go together was naturally because they didn't feel comfortable letting a few women go up the mountain.

For lunch, we had mixed grain rice, stewed old hen, and stir-fried wild pheasant with chili peppers. Although it was all chicken, it was quite oily, and the group ate with great satisfaction.

"I wish we could eat like this forever," Uncle Bai said, rubbing his slightly protruding belly and savoring the aroma of rice and meat.

"What nonsense are you dreaming about? Stop daydreaming. Don't you even know who you're lucky to be able to eat?" Aunt Bai rolled her eyes at her husband before launching into a tirade.

Uncle Bai was afraid of his wife, so he just chuckled and didn't reply.

Aunt Bai and Luo Chunhua laughed as they watched the two bicker.

After Bai Jing finished eating and drinking, she didn't immediately clean up the dishes. Instead, she took out the money she had robbed that morning.

Naturally, she also looked at the yellow slips she had stored in the system space while she was on the mountain.

They were packed in a box, each one was not very big, weighing about half a pound each, and looked like they were specially made for a long trip.

There are twenty sticks in total, making up a whole box.

Upon seeing the items on the table, everyone sat up straight. "Is this what you brought back from your grandfather's house?" Luo Chunhua couldn't help but ask first.

Bai Jing nodded. "Yes, Mother, look, this is the money, but we don't have any tickets. Count it." Bai Jing handed the money to her mother.

Although Aunt Bai Er and Aunt Bai San went with Bai Jing, they didn't actually see the money and the box.

"Xiaojing, did you bring this box back too? I didn't see it on the way here."

It's such a big box; there's no way you could hide it in your clothes to bring it back.

Bai Jing patted the cloth bag she had carried on her back. "Of course I left it here and brought it back." Luckily, she had come prepared, otherwise it would have been difficult to fool her.

I opened the box, and exclaimed, "Oh my god!"

Several surprised exclamations rang out.

Bai Jing immediately closed the box. "This, this is a gold bar?" Bai Jing stammered, pointing at the box.

The others had never seen anything like it before, and they were all terrified.

Before they could answer, Bai Jing's expression changed immediately. "Hmph, Grandpa has such good things at home, yet he still comes to steal our things every time. He really is a good grandpa."

Sensing the resentment in her daughter's words, Luo Chunhua patted her shoulder.

Not to mention her daughter, she was also very angry and furious.

I originally thought the old man was scheming against his sons because the family was poor.

Unexpectedly, he was vicious.

"Second brother, do you know?"

Men tend to think more simply: if they really had these things at home, then why did they treat them that way back then?

Uncle Bai shook his head, his tone filled with anger: "What do you know? Damn it, I've suffered so much for that little bit of fatherly affection, even when he stole the child's food, I put up with it. And he, with so much stuff, still treats us like this. What a terrible father."

Uncle Bai fell silent.
