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

Chapter 54 Bai Jing Returns to the Village
After Luo Chunhua was able to get out of bed, Bai Jing began to worry about her family.

So she went to the head nurse and told her that she wanted to hire someone to take care of her mother for two days because she wanted to go home to see her younger siblings.

Without hesitation, the head nurse arranged for the most dedicated and attentive caregiver to come over.

There are special considerations in hospitals, and no one can say anything against it.

After the person was chosen, Bai Jing began preparing to go home.

Luo Chunhua was also worried about the children at home and wanted Xiao Jing to come home to visit.

"When you go back, bring a bucket of malted milk powder for your third aunt. She's been working so hard these past few days." Luo Chunhua felt a little guilty thinking about how her family had been left in the care of her third brother and sister-in-law.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll go buy it in a bit. I asked Dr. Huang to prescribe four buckets for me." Two buckets for the children, and two buckets for my second and third aunts' families.

When my third uncle came to town, the family could only rely on my second uncle, so naturally we couldn't neglect my second aunt.

"You're going to be successful, I can rest assured about what you do." As her daughter became more and more sensible and accomplished, Luo Chunhua felt that she was now enjoying a life of happiness.

"Okay, then Mom, you can have Aunt Zhang take care of you for the next few days. I'll tell you about things at home when I get back."

"Yes, your Aunt Zhang is very nice, and I get along well with her." Although Luo Chunhua was reluctant to spend the money, she didn't want her daughter to worry. Besides, it was only a matter of two or three days, so whether or not to hire someone was up to her.

Bai Jing went straight to the bus station after leaving the hospital and bought a ticket for 11 o'clock.

Seeing the large clock inside the bus station, she felt a desire for a watch.

After all, having a watch to tell time is convenient.

I decided to act on my impulse and go back to Uncle Zhong to buy one.

Traveling by car is a very tiring task, and Bai Jing felt her stomach was rebelling when she returned to the commune.

He started gagging while clinging to a tree.

Just then, a voice rang out from behind her, "Oh, little niece, are you carsick?"

After spitting out the sour water, Bai Jing turned around and saw Uncle Zhong, her face full of surprise.

"Why are you here?"

Zhong Qiming smiled and handed Bai Jing a handkerchief, "I had some business to attend to here, and that's how I ran into you."

Bai Jing knew Uncle Zhong's profession, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Uncle Zhong, I was just looking for you, I didn't expect to run into you here." Bai Jing immediately remembered what she was thinking about at the bus station, so she spoke up directly.

“Say it, if it’s something I can do, I won’t delay.” Zhong Qiming patted his chest and told Bai Jing to make the suggestion.

“It’s nothing serious. I just went out and realized I was missing a watch, so I thought I’d ask Uncle Zhong if there was any way he could help my niece with this.”

Upon hearing that he wanted to buy a watch, Zhong Qiming immediately felt confident. "No problem, Uncle has watch tickets on hand." As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and soon pulled out a stack of tickets. "Here, watch tickets."

Bai Jing didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted it, saying, "Sure, Uncle, how much is it?" She had no intention of taking something for free.

But Zhong Qiming was no ordinary person; he naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against his little niece over such a trivial matter. "Alright, I'll give it to you. Remember me if you get anything good in the future, and I'll thank you."

Meat is much more expensive than any watch coupons. With such a source of goods, why would he need a few watch coupons?
Bai Jing knew what he meant, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. "Of course, we're all family. How could we possibly pass up our uncles when it comes to good things?"

Hearing her teasing, Zhong Qiming also laughed. Brother Bai's niece is really interesting.

"By the way, are you going to buy a watch now?" Actually, they already had watches, but for a young girl like her, it would be better to buy one from the official retail store, since they were newer than what she had. "Yes, I already have the tickets, so of course I have to go buy it. Otherwise, I'll get restless if I keep thinking about it," Bai Jing said with a smile.

She did want to buy some things.

"By the way, Uncle, could you help me prepare some things? I'll go to your house to get them later." She didn't want to go to the black market openly; it would be more convenient to go to Uncle Zhong's house.

"Of course, we have some things at home. Tell us what you need."

Bai Jing rattled off a long list, making Zhong Qiming a little dizzy. "Can you take all of this back? Why don't you ask your uncle to take you back?" It wasn't his first time in Zhejia Village, and the road was quite far.

"Of course I'd love to, thank you so much, Uncle Zhong." She didn't stand on ceremony with such good treatment.

"Alright, stop being so polite with your uncle. Go buy your things, I'll wait for you at home later."

After they parted, Bai Jing went to the public retail store and bought a watch.

There was no incident of her looking down on others, and no one accused her of stealing the money and tickets.

After buying the watch and putting it on, Bai Jing felt that the world became clear again, and she finally knew the correct time.

It was only a little past two o'clock when she arrived at Uncle Zhong's house. Uncle Zhong had already tidied up all her things, placed them on the ground one by one, and packed them into her basket after she checked them.

This basket was prepared for her by Zhong Qiming.

"coming."

The door opened, and Zhong Qiming quickly went to open it. He knew without a doubt who it was at this hour, and sure enough, it didn't disappoint him.

"Have you bought everything?" Zhong Qiming stepped aside when he saw that it was Bai Jing who came in, and then asked with a smile.

"Of course, but I didn't expect the watch to be so expensive. It cost me 120 yuan."

As she spoke, she showed off the watch on her wrist, her face full of heartache.

Zhong Qiming knew that this girl was rich, and her feeling sorry for her was just a facade. "You're so cheeky. Things aren't expensive as long as they're useful."

After entering the house and looking at the items, Bai Jing paid the bill. Naturally, Zhong Qiming didn't want to accept it, but Bai Jing insisted on paying, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Around 3 PM, Bai Jing was taken back to the village by Zhong Qiming.

What she didn't expect was that she would run into someone as soon as she reached the bottom of the mountain.

"Aunt Feng, what are you doing here?" Bai Jing was a little surprised to see the person in front of her. After all, she knew what had happened to Bai Manman. She didn't expect that the person would be back in just two days.

"How did I end up here? You wretched girl from the Bai family, pay up!" Feng Ni stretched out her hand, demanding money directly from Bai Jing.

"Pah!" Bai Jing retorted, "What kind of trash comes to me for money? The police have already said that Bai Manman was in the wrong first, and she should bear all the responsibility. Why should she ask me for money? What, do you think you're better at judging cases than the police?"

Feng Ni was surprised that Bai Jing was so quick-witted; how come she had never noticed before?

"What police or whatever, you beat up my family, so you have to pay for it. Pay up now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Feng Nizi had been a tyrant in the village for many years, and because she usually acted as a matchmaker, she was very popular. When had she ever been treated like this?

Now that Bai Jing is disrespecting her, she is naturally furious. Coupled with the money spent on her daughter's injury, she has long since cursed Bai Jing a thousand times over.

If she hadn't learned that Luo Chunhua was in the hospital undergoing surgery, she would have gone to her door long ago.
