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

Chapter 38 Someone is watching
Luo Chunhua slept with her daughter in her arms all night, and seeing her daughter's furrowed brow, she felt a deep sense of worry.

"I don't know what happened to you, but I hope you will have a peaceful and smooth life." After saying this softly, Luo Chunhua kissed her daughter on the back, then quietly got out of bed and left.

After seeing the children off to school, she went to the threshing ground to gather them.

When she arrived, her second brother and his wife, and her third brother and his wife were also there.

My third brother still didn't come today. I don't need to think to know that he went to handle his job handover today. After the household registration is transferred, he will be a city dweller.

Envy?
Of course I'm envious.

But she also believed that Xiaojing would definitely pass the job exam.

···
When Bai Jing woke up, she heard someone chopping wood outside.

She went outside and saw her third uncle chopping wood.

"Uncle, you're up so early? Why didn't you go straight to the commune?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.

Uncle Bai stopped what he was doing, looked up at his niece and said, "I'm just waiting for you to lend me money. You can't buy a job empty-handed." He then laughed.

Bai Jing slapped her forehead. "Look at me, I forgot about that." It's her fault, her fault. She was too excited yesterday and actually forgot about the money.

She had seven hundred yuan in her hand, and it wouldn't hurt to lend five hundred to her third uncle first. "Wait, I'll get it to you right away." Anyway, she didn't need the money much, and she had already bought almost everything she needed yesterday.

After taking the money from his niece, Uncle Bai took out an IOU from his pocket.

"Take this. Uncle San can't pay it back right away. Here's the IOU, it'll serve as proof." He wrote the IOU last night after he got home. All three of them had gone to school and could read, though their education wasn't high, it was enough for their daily use.

Bai Jing was taken aback. "No need. Don't you still have something here with me, Uncle? Even if we lose money selling it now, it's better than letting someone suffocate." He probably forgot about the yellow slip he left here.

"Uncle, why don't you take two yuan to Uncle Zhong's place to exchange for it later?" Bai Jing sincerely suggested. She would naturally lend money, but after seeing Uncle's IOU, she felt it was unnecessary to go through all that trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Uncle San nodded. "Okay, give me two yuan for my family's share. I'll go and exchange it with your Uncle Zhong later." Two yuan can be exchanged for several hundred yuan, which is enough to buy a job.

After saying that, he pushed the money back.

Bai Jing didn't try to persuade her, put away the money and went back into the room. When she came out again, she was holding two small yellow strips wrapped in a tattered leather bag.

"Third Uncle, if it's hard to sell through Uncle Zhong, let's go to the commune post office to recycle it. Anyway, it's six yuan per gram, so we won't lose out."

"Don't worry, your Uncle Zhong won't let me down. I'm just worried they won't be able to come up with that much money right away. I'll keep an eye on things."

After chopping the last bit of firewood, Uncle Bai took his things and went down the mountain.

And naturally, someone was keeping an eye on what was happening here.

Old Man Bai left the village early in the morning, while she had her son keep an eye on Bai Jing's family.

She was determined to get revenge today, to catch the adulterers in the act and seize the stolen goods.

It's hard to say whether Bai Zizhong was lucky or unlucky. He originally wanted to come up for a stroll, but he ran into his third brother coming up the mountain, so he could only hide in the bushes and keep an eye on him.

After finally waiting for people to come down the mountain, and just as they were about to sneak back, they bumped into Bai Jing, who was carrying a basket on her back.

Bai Jing never expected to run into Bai Zizhong.

She immediately became alert.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Jing glanced around and quickly spotted a straight wooden stick not far ahead. It wasn't thick, but it would definitely hurt if it hit you.

Bai Zizhong was also startled by Bai Jing. "Why do you have to interfere with my personal life? Is this your home?" He shouted out, seemingly out of nowhere.

The people working in the fields below were startled by Bai Zizhong's voice and immediately turned their attention to him. "Look, the Bai family uncle and nephew are at it again. This is going to be interesting."

"Come on, let's get closer, otherwise we won't be able to hear you."

The nosy old women dropped what they were doing and hurried toward where the two were facing off.

Bai Jing didn't want people to see the show.

"I don't care if you're shitting or farting, get out of here! If I find out you dare to mess around in my house, I'll beat you to death!" she said, waving the stick in her hand. "Go ahead if you're not afraid of death."

Knowing she wouldn't be home for a while, Bai Jing decided to go back and tidy up the house.

After all, there are some things that can't be shown to the public yet.

If the Bai family finds out, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

After making the threat, Bai Jing headed up the mountain.

Bai Zizhong sensed her guilty expression and wanted to call out, but when he met her cold gaze, he pursed his lips and dared not utter a sound.

Turning her gaze away, Bai Jing continued walking home.

The old women who had come to watch the show all glared at the uncle and nephew with unpleasant expressions.

"Pshaw, useless thing, I thought there was going to be a show."

"Alright, he can't even beat a little girl. What a waste of my excitement."

One by one, they retreated back.

Bai Zizhong naturally overheard their words and was furious.

However, he dared not shout, since his mother was not home. If these old women really let him off the hook, he wouldn't even have anyone to stand up for him.

Bai Jing went back and hid all the better items, but even so, she was still worried.

She didn't even spare anything in the kitchen; she put everything into her system space.

Seeing that the house was just as bare as before, Bai Jing finally felt at ease and went out.

However, as she descended the mountain, she spotted Bai Zizhong hiding behind a tree not far away, filling her with unease.

However, after realizing that there was nothing unusual at home, she went straight down the mountain.

She went to the school first, since the autumn harvest was coming soon and the holidays were approaching. She felt a little embarrassed that her family and several other families hadn't paid their tuition fees in full.

I'm afraid my younger siblings' classmates have made fun of them about this quite a bit.

But now there's no need to be afraid. My family has money, and I'll never have to worry about tuition fees again.

Upon arriving at the school, Bai Jing first approached her younger siblings' teachers and explained why she had come. The teachers all smiled.

After all, tuition fees are hard to collect these days. Some parents send their children to school, but when they find that their children's grades are not good, they are too lazy to pay the tuition fees anymore and take their children home directly.

Very few students will voluntarily pay the outstanding tuition fees; most students only pay when the teacher comes to their door to ask for it.

"Your families are all good." The teacher was quite familiar with the children from these three families. The children all had good grades, but their families were relatively poor.

"Thank you for your trouble, teachers. We'll definitely prepare the tuition fees well in advance from now on." Bai Jing sincerely respected the teachers at this school, because they truly taught the children without any prejudice.

These people were all educated youth sent to the countryside by higher authorities. The village chief was also insightful, directly arranging for those with good academic performance to become teachers in schools.
