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

Chapter 35 is back, it's back!

Bai Jing and her third uncle walked on the dark road without feeling the slightest bit afraid.

Because they were all filled with excitement.

"Third Uncle, once we go to town, we'll be far away from Grandpa's family. Good days will come then. After you've settled in, I'll go take the job exam and bring Second Uncle's family with me."

She had absolutely no good feelings towards the village.

"Are you so confident?" Uncle Bai smiled and said, "If Xiao Jing really gets in, then I'll be happy for you."

Bai Jing knew that her idea was a bit far-fetched, but how would she know if it wouldn't work if she didn't try?

"It's not enough to just be happy," Bai Jing joked. "If it really works out, Uncle will treat everyone to dinner."

The two chatted and laughed as they made their way to the team.

When they reached a stone bridge, the two stopped because they saw someone approaching with a torch not far ahead.

"Quick, hide!" The two were traveling on a dark road and rarely used flashlights, especially when they reached familiar sections of the road, where they had no intention of turning on the lights.

It would be best to sneak home quietly.

The two immediately hid behind a large tree by the bridge.

The two only dared to come out when the person carrying the torch came close.

"mother."

"Second brother, second sister-in-law."

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt".

The two were quite surprised to speak up, because they had overheard the conversation between the three and only then dared to speak.

"Xiao Jing."

"The third child."

Two voices rang out at the same time.

It was Luo Chunhua and Bai Quanlu who spoke.

Aunt Bai stood there covering her mouth; after all, how could she not be scared to hear someone calling her name late at night?

"It's us." The two men, carrying things and baskets on their backs, came out from behind the tree.

With the torchlight providing illumination, the five men were able to see each other clearly.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Luo Chunhua quickly stepped forward to take the things her daughter was carrying. "Why are you back so late?"

Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai helped take some things, saying, "Yeah, why are you so late?"

They were so worried.

"I bought a lot of things, and I was worried that no one would see them when I got back tonight, otherwise it would cause trouble," Uncle Bai told everyone, expressing his concerns.

"That's right, Mom, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, don't worry, I'm very strong. Besides, Third Uncle's friend is very nice. We stayed at their house for a day and had dinner before coming back."

Bai Jing, afraid they would worry, immediately told them about her experiences outside.

"The third brother is a good person, and his friends are no bad either. Let's stop talking on the street and go home." Uncle Bai was very happy to hear this, happy for his younger brother.

"Yes, let's go home, let's go home first."

With someone sharing the load, the two felt much more relaxed.

Bai Jing looked at the torches illuminating the way and said, "Second Aunt, let's put out the fire. If people see this, who knows what they'll say?" Right now, making money quietly is the most important thing.

Aunt Bai glanced at her husband, and seeing him nod, she immediately took the torch and extinguished it in the nearby stream.

"Xiao Jing's idea is very thoughtful. If people really saw all these things, who knows what they would say?"

Thinking about the cold treatment she received today, she felt upset.

Even knowing there weren't any good people in the team, and that people who used to talk to her were now keeping their distance and wouldn't even dare to look her in the eye, her heart grew cold.

Rumors circulated in the village that the family had robbed their father-in-law of his retirement money, that they were unfilial, rotten people, and would be punished sooner or later.

But they don't seem to realize how their father-in-law treated their family before.

They really can't stand seeing others get rich.

She finally saw through those people's true colors. Back home, everyone was still surprised when they saw what she had bought.

The dozens of kilograms of cotton, in particular, shocked everyone.

"Is cotton so easy to buy now?" Luo Chunhua asked with delight, touching the yellowish-white cotton.

This was the first time she had touched cotton since getting married.

"They weren't easy to buy. My third uncle's friend got them for us. There are fifty catties in total," Bai Jing immediately explained with a smile.

"The money was divided between the two families, but Uncle San's family didn't bring any back."

That's right, Bai Jing plans to have her third uncle work in town. There are still several months until winter, and her third uncle will have everything arranged in town by then, so the winter supplies will naturally be sent there.

"Why?" Uncle Bai asked, puzzled. "Your third uncle's family isn't spending the winter?"

Luo Chunhua was also puzzled. "Yes, how could we forget your third uncle's family?"

Although Aunt Bai was puzzled, seeing her husband's silly grin, she guessed that there was something they didn't know.

"Stop laughing, tell me, what happened?"

Although her family was better off than her two older brothers' families, it wasn't by much, since they still had to help out both families.

Uncle Bai scratched his head sheepishly, then uttered a shocking statement.

"I'm going to work in town."

"Is this true?" Luo Chunhua asked, her face filled with excitement.

Uncle Bai, "You're not lying to me?"

Second Aunt: "Great news, wonderful news!"

Third Aunt, "When did this happen?"

Everyone reacts differently.

The noise from the kitchen woke the children who were sleeping in the west room.

Bai Ling led a group of children into the kitchen.

"Mother, have my eldest sister and third uncle returned?"

"Mother, have Third Uncle and Eldest Sister returned?"

"Mother, is it my father who's back?"

The children chatted amongst themselves as they passed through the main room, then through the east room, and finally arrived at the kitchen.

Seeing the mess on the ground, none of the children dared to take a step forward.

Awakened by the children's voices, Luo Chunhua stood up. "Alright, your eldest sister and third uncle are back. Go back to your room and go to sleep. We can talk about it later. We have to get up early tomorrow."

We need to get the kids out of here, otherwise what will we do if they keep their mouths shut?
If this gets out of the bag, the old house will ruin everything.

"Xiaoling, take your younger brother and sister back to sleep."

Bai Ling really wanted to know what had happened, but seeing her mother's serious expression, she didn't dare to ask.

After responding, she led her younger siblings back the way they came.

With the children gone, the group calmed down and started asking about work.

This time, Bai Jing didn't say anything, letting her excited third uncle have a chance to show off.

Of course, she also looked at her second uncle and second aunt's expressions, wondering if they would feel uncomfortable.

They're all family, and she didn't want to strain the relationship too much.

Although she wanted to bring her second uncle's family to town as well, she needed an opportunity, and naturally she couldn't compare to her third uncle who bought a job with money.

Fortunately, they did not disappoint her. Her second uncle and aunt were both very happy for her third uncle. Not only that, but she also heard her third uncle say that his family might have to stay in the village until the end of the year while he was working.

Without a second thought, the two agreed to take care of their third uncle's family.

“So you can’t participate in the autumn harvest. You’ll need to get a letter of introduction from the village chief. If that happens, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep it from Dad.” Luo Chunhua was happy that her brother-in-law could leave the village, but she was also worried about her younger brother’s wife and her family who would be left behind.
