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

Chapter 51 Showing Strength

"I don't remember. Anyway, I'm usually quite strong, and I'm even stronger when I'm full. It's just that my family isn't well-off, and I haven't had enough to eat in years." Bai Jing said, her voice becoming increasingly dejected.

Luo Chunhua didn't doubt it, after all, no one knew better than her what kind of food they ate at home.

The daughter's strength manifested because she obtained pheasants and grains from the mountain, which filled her stomach and allowed her strength to show.

Team Leader Lin asked again, "Do you usually eat a lot?" Her situation reminded him of some capable people he had met when he was in the team.

Which of those people didn't become a weapon of the state?
If she is properly trained, wouldn't the country gain another sharp weapon?
Lin Cheng dared not think any further.

Bai Jing shook her head and then nodded.

"There's usually not much food at home, I can go hungry."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chunhua's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She felt sorry for the children, for not being able to give them a better life.

At this moment, Luo Chunhua felt an even greater resentment towards Bai Quanfu.

···
It was already afternoon when I left the police station.

Bai Jing definitely couldn't go back tonight, so she had no choice but to rush to the lumber mill to find her third uncle.

Bai Quanshou was startled when he saw his sister-in-law and niece arrive.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaojing, what brings you here? And you bought so many things, are you missing something at home?" Uncle Bai asked, stepping forward to take the things from their hands.

Bai Jing simply avoided it.

"Third Uncle, don't rush to get your things. I brought my mother to the hospital today. The doctor said she needs surgery, which is scheduled for tomorrow. I can't go back for a while, so I thought I'd trouble you to make the trip. Please tell Third Aunt and the others so they won't worry."

There were no telephones in the village; the telephones were at the commune, and she didn't know anyone there either, so she had no choice but to ask her third uncle for help.

"Is your sister-in-law alright? Why does she need surgery? What did the doctor say?" Bai Quanshou asked with concern as soon as he heard that his sister-in-law needed surgery.

"Uncle, don't get agitated. I can't explain it clearly in a short time, but the doctor said it will take a long time to recover. I'll need to stay in the hospital for at least half a month. As a result, the autumn harvest in the village will probably be delayed. I'll go back in a few days and ask my mother for leave."

Seeing her uncle's worried expression warmed Bai Jing's heart; after all, it proved that she hadn't misjudged him.

"Half a month? What kind of illness is this? Why does it take so long to recover?" Bai Quanshou didn't mean anything by it, he was just frightened by the fact that he had been hospitalized for half a month. "No, I'll go to the hospital with you. I need to ask the doctor what's going on."

I can't feel at ease if I don't understand him.

Bai Jing knew that her mother might have a gynecological problem, and it was really inconvenient for her third uncle, who was not a male, to have it.

"Although it's inconvenient for you, Uncle, can you go back today?" She was more worried about her younger brother, sister-in-law, and aunt.

If they hadn't gone back, I don't know how worried their families would have been.

"No need to go back. I'll call your Uncle Zhong and ask him to go back to the village and let him know that you're safe."

"That works too." Yes, how could she not have thought of that? But even if she had, she wouldn't have Uncle Zhong's phone number, and she wouldn't be able to reach him even if she called.

I went to the post office with my third uncle and saw him make a phone call. After saying a few words, he hung up and said to call back in ten minutes.

Bai Jing hadn't experienced making phone calls during that period, so she really didn't know the inside story.

"Third Uncle, why do we have to wait ten minutes before we call?"

If you don’t understand, just ask.

Uncle Bai smiled and said, "That phone number belongs to your Uncle Zhong's neighborhood. You can't expect them to call someone. Even if they find the person in ten minutes, that's if they can't. If they can't find the person, I'll have to make other calls to look for them."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing realized how close her third uncle was to Uncle Zhong and the others. If it weren't for their blood ties, they could have lived very well.

"Oh, I see. It seems Uncle San and Uncle Zhong are quite close," Bai Jing said enviously. Bai Quanshou couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how the three of them first met. "They're alright. If you need anything in the commune, you can't go wrong with them."

Luo Chunhua laughed too, "Your third uncle is really capable."

“That’s right. Third Uncle is obviously smart, unlike my father and second uncle, who always limit themselves with some rules that shouldn’t exist.” Bai Jing rolled her eyes, a look of disdain on her face.

When her husband was mentioned, Luo Chunhua's expression turned sour.

Bai Quanshou, however, remembered his sister-in-law's surgery and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you tell my brother about your hospitalization?"

Bai Jing was about to speak when Luo Chunhua cut her off, saying, "What's the use of saying anything? Don't you know your older brother? Would he really be willing to give up his job to come to town?" Her words were filled with deep resentment.

The couple had feelings for each other, but even the deepest feelings couldn't withstand his trampling on them like this.

Bai Quanshou didn't know how to persuade him anymore.

"Don't overthink it, sister-in-law. Brother will understand." He could only say this dryly.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Bai Quanshou went back inside to make another phone call.

"Mother, are you really not going to tell Father?" It would be a lie to say that she had no resentment towards her own father.

But when she thought about the hardships he endured for his younger brother's children in his later years, she couldn't bring herself to hate him.

After all, if it weren't for him taking the lead, his nephew probably wouldn't have survived.

Luo Chunhua touched the corner of her eye. "No need. He didn't help the family before, and the family doesn't need his help now."

Bai Jing thought of something, "Mom, do you want to divorce Dad?" If she remembered correctly, her grandfather could still live for many more years. If her father continued to be so blindly filial, the family would never have a good life.

If she could, she would get rid of that family of vampires first, and she would even be willing to give away her father.

After her grandfather dies, she wouldn't mind giving her father a stable life.

Whether or not her father should be allowed to return home depends on her mother.

After all, her mother had been strong-willed her whole life, and she couldn't make decisions for her mother.

"What divorce? Don't talk nonsense. Your father doesn't live with the family. Let him go. Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Divorce? That's impossible. If she really got divorced, wouldn't she be the target of gossip and criticism?

She can lose face, but she can't let the children lose face.

My third uncle came out shortly after.

"I've found him. He'll go to the village in a bit. Sister-in-law and Xiaojing, don't worry about home. Just stay in the hospital and go back when you're better."

"That's good. Uncle Zhong, would you be willing to help carry the things back?" She had stored many things in her system space to deal with Xiao Hua and his group.

There isn't much food left at home. If we don't go back for a long time, the food left at home won't be enough to feed everyone for half a month.

And all that meat is in her system space.

It seems that once things settle down on her mother's side, she'll have to go home. It won't be easy to explain if she doesn't bring out the things.

"Needless to say." Uncle Bai glared at Xiao Jing with a loving expression. "Don't be polite to them if you need anything in the future. If you want to express your gratitude, then sell them something good."

His voice noticeably relaxed when he talked about selling words.

"it is good."
