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

Chapter 45 Something's Wrong with the Two of Them

Bai Jing listened to her second uncle's intermittent words and remembered those people. "Second Uncle, do you still remember who she fled to our village with?"

Could the battalion commander be one of them?
Uncle Bai thought for a moment, then named a few people, and in case Bai Jing didn't know, he also told her whose family they were.

"So, the brigade leader also fled to our village back then?" One of them stuck in Bai Jing's mind.

"That's right, but he was all alone. Not long after he came to our village, he married into the Li family. It just so happens that he also has the surname Li. So many years have passed that we've almost forgotten about it."

As he spoke, the second uncle patted his head and said, "We both have the surname Li. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the son of the Li family."

After saying that, he laughed.

Bai Jing was horrified. She felt that Granny Bai and the brigade leader must have known each other for a long time.

"Did Granny Bai and the brigade leader know each other before?" she asked uncertainly.

"I don't know them. Although they entered our village around the same time, their families weren't even in the same place when the old village chief registered them."

Uncle Bai said this with certainty.

Bai Jing thought about the exchange of glances between the brigade leader and Granny Bai, and she felt that something was amiss, but they were keeping it a secret very well.

"Why did you suddenly ask about these things? Did you discover something?" Aunt Bai was perceptive; she felt that Xiao Jing was acting differently today.

So she looked at Bai Jing and asked, "Or do you think there's something wrong between the brigade leader and your stepmother?"

Bai Jing shook her head. "No, I just felt that she was bullying our families so much, and no one in the village cared. I was just curious about what she was capable of."

It's best not to let your family know about these things. If something goes wrong, they won't be able to handle it. Having your own system means you can at least protect yourself.

But they are different; they might have been harmed by someone.

Aunt Bai noticed Bai Jing's somewhat evasive gaze. She pondered for a moment, deciding to talk to her husband later so he could be prepared and not let Xiao Jing shoulder everything.

"What skills does she have? She's just a troublemaker. You've seen it yourself, she always stirs up trouble. I think this whole thing is most likely her doing." The second aunt said angrily, her dislike for her stepmother-in-law growing stronger.

"Xiaojing, sister-in-law, we should be more careful in the future. That old hag has gone mad. She lost so much money last time, I don't know how much she hates us."

Auntie was right, Bai Jing nodded in agreement. "Auntie is right. Uncle, Mother, be careful when you go to work in the future. Come back right after work and don't get involved with those gossipy women in the village."

It seems they need to hurry up and put their move to the city on the agenda.

If all else fails, she'll just buy it; she refuses to believe that money can't buy a job.

"She dared to bring people to our house today, who knows what she might do next. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you should also be careful."

The two nodded in agreement.

Uncle San sighed, "If only our whole family could leave the village. Sister-in-law, your brother is unreliable. With Dad around, he definitely won't listen to you. You should take better care of the children in the future."

Bai Quanshou was very disappointed in his elder brother.

If the eldest brother had thought more about his wife, the family wouldn't be in this situation.

He didn't resent his elder brother; he just felt a little indignant seeing his sister-in-law's family suffering like this.

"The third brother is right. I'll try to persuade him when the eldest brother comes back next month. If that doesn't work, Xiaojing, just treat him like your father has gone on a long trip. We'll give him food when he gets old."

He realized that a family really can't function without a man to hold the fort and lead the household.

In this family, the eldest brother is the one who holds us back. Even without him, with his wife and Xiaojing at home, life wouldn't be so bad.

"Okay, sure," Luo Chunhua replied softly, as did Bai Jing.

But she didn't have much hope, and she didn't know whether her mother had any hope.

However, she needed to ask the system about Granny Bai and the brigade leader.

She was very grateful to have obtained this information-spending system, as it saved her a lot of trouble.

After everyone left, only Bai Jing and her mother remained at home.

"Mom, will Dad really listen to us?" After Grandpa died, her father returned to the family, but now, she doesn't know what he's thinking.

Luo Chunhua felt a pang of sadness upon hearing her daughter's words. How could she have married such a man?

"Don't worry about him. As your second uncle said, he's your father. When he gets old and can't move around anymore, you'll take care of him." Seeing this, Luo Chunhua also lost hope in Bai Quanfu.

Bai Jing felt sorry for her mother. With her mother's diligence, she knew that if she hadn't married her father, her life would definitely not have been so hard.

All the suffering was actually brought to her mother by her father.

But her father didn't appreciate it.

Bai Jing felt a sharp pain in her heart whenever she thought of her mother passing away while suffering from various illnesses.

It seems she'll have to give the life star amulet to her mother.

That thing is neither jade nor stone, so you don't have to worry about being misunderstood if you wear it.

When the children returned, Uncle Bai had already started moving all the grain and bedding from the house over.

Because her third aunt's family came to stay, Luo Chunhua asked the third aunt's family to bring over two beds.

These beds were all made by themselves using wood from the mountains; you could say that every household had one.

The boys were assigned a room, while the girls shared a room with two adults. They all had large beds, so they didn't have to squeeze in, which was quite comfortable.

Lying in bed, Bai Jing took out what she had prepared. "Mother, this is something I got for helping an old man today. He said it can help you take care of your health. Mother, please wear it."

After saying that, she immediately helped her mother put it on, giving her no chance to refuse.

Although Luo Chunhua was not very knowledgeable, she was delighted to see the green stone. "Isn't this thing too eye-catching?" she thought it was jade.

"Mom, what are you thinking? This thing isn't jade, it looks more like a piece of plastic. You don't believe me? Take a look." After putting it on, Bai Jing pulled it out and let her mother play with it.

It's so soft, it doesn't really look like jade.

"Isn't it beautiful? Mother, please don't take it off. This is the first gift I've ever given you. The old man said it can also help with health." Bai Jing added, afraid that her mother wouldn't appreciate it.

Who is Luo Chunhua? There's no such thing as a magical thing in the world.

Aunt Bai, who was standing to the side, laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, this is Xiaojing's kind gesture. Don't let it go to waste. It's not anything precious. Just wear it and let the child feel at ease."

However, when it came to health, Aunt Bai still looked at her sister-in-law with some concern.

“Sister-in-law, now that we have money, you should go to the hospital to get your health checked out when you have time. Having your period for only ten days a month is obviously not normal.”

The room was full of women and girls, so she had nothing to hide.

When her third aunt brought up the matter, Bai Jing naturally took it to heart.
