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

Chapter 33 Work at the Timber Mill
Bai Jing wasn't surprised for long before she immediately asked, "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Wang, can my third uncle really leave the village?"

If possible, she would naturally want her third uncle to leave; wasn't she also thinking of taking her family away?

Since this opportunity had come, she naturally didn't want her third uncle to miss it.

Although the two were not very old, they were called "uncle" by a teenage girl because of Bai Quanshou. Since they recognized Bai Quanshou, they naturally also recognized Bai Jing.

"Of course, I found a job for your uncle, and your Uncle Zhong and I are happy to help pay for it. But your uncle is not willing. Although we don't know why, we still hope that your family can persuade him more."

After Wang Fei spoke, Zhong Qiming continued, "That's right, we should go to the lumber mill in town. We can learn a trade there, and you know, it's very difficult to find a job there."

“If someone hadn’t asked us for help last time, we wouldn’t have been able to get this job.”

After getting the jobs, the first person they thought of was their benefactor.

Unfortunately, Brother Bai was unwilling.

Bai Jing was also surprised; going to town was a good thing.

She turned to her third uncle and said, "Third Uncle, let's go, we'll buy it no matter how much it costs."

Why miss such a great opportunity?

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhong, how much do you need?" She didn't lack money; what she lacked was opportunity.

She was still thinking about taking the exam.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to get his family to leave the village.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles. "Not much, five hundred yuan. You can also earn twenty-eight yuan a month. If you master the craft, you can take a grading exam. The higher the carpentry grade, the higher the salary." It's a bit expensive because the job allows you to learn a skill.

Fearing she might not understand, the two explained again.

Upon learning that she could learn a trade at the lumber mill, Bai Jing felt even more determined not to miss this opportunity.

"We'll take this job, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhong, thank you for your help." She'll pay for it.

It's just five hundred yuan, she can afford it.

Upon hearing his niece's words, Uncle Bai immediately pulled her back, saying, "Don't cause trouble. I know the job is good, but I'm worried about you all." Uncle Bai hadn't expected Bai Jing to ask for a job so readily.

"Third Uncle, what are you thinking? Do you think we need you to worry about us now? You should focus on your work instead. Once you're settled in the city, find a job for Second Uncle too, and then we can all reunite in the city."

Bai Jing never expected that her third uncle's reluctance to leave the village was because of them.

Although she knew that "they" referred to her own family and her second uncle's family.

It would be a lie to say that such deep affection is not moving.

No wonder in my previous life, whenever I spoke up, my second and third uncles' families would unconditionally stand by my side.

Sigh, she's blinded by pride, always unwilling to sacrifice her dignity.

To put it bluntly, she was also insecure.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhong, calculate whether this meat is enough. If not, I'll have my third uncle bring it to you tomorrow."

Don't forget, she still has five hundred yuan in her hand.

And those yellow strips, you can easily make up the difference by selling them.

The two men stared at Brother Bai, waiting for him to speak.

Uncle Bai knew that if he didn't agree, his niece would definitely tell her family when they got back, and then...

He dared not imagine how crazy his wife would become.

"Listen to her. But I can't give you the money today. I'll bring the money tomorrow." Since his niece had said that, he couldn't very well embarrass her further.

"Okay, if you don't have money, just tell your brother. He has some cash on hand."

Bai Jing now had a better understanding of these two people; at least her third uncle had made two very good friends with them.

She also wanted to use her third uncle's connections to gain some benefits for her own family and her second uncle's family. After all, she had made a lot of gains in the mountains, and it was not appropriate for her to sell them herself. It would be better to hand them over to her two uncles.

After settling the bill, Bai Jing and her third uncle received about 500 yuan. They didn't hold back and went on a shopping spree to buy things for the three families.

Naturally, this was something they had agreed upon when they came out.

Every household is short of things, so who wouldn't be happy to have the opportunity to buy good things?

Both of their baskets were full, and they were also carrying large and small bags in their hands.

But in broad daylight, the two of them dared to return to the village like this, so they went to Zhong Qiming's house. Bai Jing and her third uncle took a nap, and then had dinner at Zhong Qiming's house before heading back to the village with flashlights.

Meanwhile, in the village, the team leader scolded Uncle Bai for not going to work and also lashed out at the Bai family.

None of them cared about this, and even when they were assigned the hardest and most tiring jobs, they didn't complain at all.

Because he was worried about Bai Jing and Bai Quanshou, who had gone out in the middle of the night.

The unusual behavior of the three families was naturally noticed by Old Man Bai, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Staring at Uncle Bai was not like looking at a son, but like looking at an enemy.

Ask him why he did that.

That means he discovered that his things were missing. Apart from Bai Jing and the others, no one else had entered the house. It wasn't them who took the things; it was a ghost.

Now that his third son and that good-for-nothing are not home, he naturally wonders what they've been up to.

After picking up his farm tools, Old Man Bai didn't go straight to the fields, but went home instead.

When Granny Bai saw the old man return, she looked puzzled. "Isn't he supposed to be at work at this hour? Why are you back?" Too many things had happened at home these past two days, and she felt quite exhausted.

I don't want to go to work in the fields today.

"That good-for-nothing and the third son aren't home," the old man said menacingly.

"They must have taken it. I told you, they're all ingrates. You still said no, now you know what's bad, huh?" Old Mrs. Bai rolled her dead fish eyes so wide, as if she was afraid Old Man Bai wouldn't see her contempt.

"What's the use of saying all this now? What are we going to do with those things? Just give them away like that?" That was a whole box of small yellow croakers, which he himself couldn't bear to use. Now that those worthless people had stolen them, how could he feel good about it?

"Hmph." Old Lady Bai was naturally also upset. "Now you know they're all wolf cubs, right? I really don't know what you were thinking, raising them all these years."

Thinking about this made Granny Bai furious. If it were her, she would have killed those three bastards from the start.

"She wasn't dead then, so what do you expect me to do? What's the point of saying all this now? Let's think about how to get those things back. I don't want them to fall into the wrong hands."

He left all his things to his son.

If it weren't for the generous gifts from his master back then, he wouldn't have...

Forget it, he's dead. There's no point in saying anything more. As long as he has those three bastard children under his control, that's enough.

"You have a lot of ideas, think of a way, but don't contact them over there." Old Man Bai added immediately, afraid that she might have some ideas.

Old Lady Bai glared at him. "Hmph, useless thing. Are you sure they took the things?" If they really did take them, she would have a way to get them back.

I'm afraid that not finding the item will cause me trouble.
