Travel to the famine year to go to the sea, and become rich with the zombie girlfriend

"How is Sister Taohua now?" Xia Qingqing asked worriedly.

Bai Erniang took Xia Qingqing's arm and walked to the side, saying with some admiration, "Compared to Sister Taohua, I'm really a paper tiger. When encountering problems, I can only swallow my anger, but she will fight back with all her might."

"Huh? Really?"

"Didn't you see Xia Huzi was covering that spot? That was caused by Sister Taohua hitting him with a rolling pin..."

After Bai Erniang finished speaking, Xia Qingqing instantly took two breaths. How painful it must be.

It’s so satisfying just thinking about it.

"Bitch! If you keep making trouble, I'll divorce you..."

"Woooooooo..."

Zhao Huzi and Ying Pozi were both cursing and crying. The stench emanating from them was so strong that the villagers dared not approach them.

Xia Qingqing looked at him coldly, then turned around and left with Bai Erniang.

"Let's go to Sister Taohua's house and see her."

The two soon arrived at Taohua's house and pushed open the door, thinking they would hear Taohua crying secretly.

Unexpectedly, I saw her teaching her five-year-old son to recite the Three Character Classic in the yard.

"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good..."

The clear sound of reading made all the soothing words Xia Qingqing had prepared useless, and what was even more surprising was that Sister Taohua actually knew how to read.

This was quite rare in that era. After all, there were few girls going to school, and there were no conditions in the village.

"Qingqing, Second Mother, why are you here?" Taohua smiled brightly, then thought of something and said, "Are you here to collect the debt? Can you give me some time? I'm almost done copying the book, and I'll get the money in a few days..."

Xia Qingqing was even more surprised, and immediately shook her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not here to collect the debt, I'm here to discuss something else with you."

"Then let's talk inside the house."

After they entered the house, Xia Qingqing took out the contents of the basket and placed them on their eight-immortal table. She said, "Sister-in-law, I brought some food for you and Zhao'er."

Taohua took a quick look and saw a piece of pork belly, a fish, a can of lard, and two packets of snacks wrapped in oil paper. These things made her panic.

"Qingqing, what are you doing? I haven't paid you back yet, and you're..."

"As the saying goes, 'One should be grateful to the one who has helped you.' I have a favor to ask of you, sister-in-law." Xia Qingqing opened the oil-paper package, handed it to Xia Zhao, and said, "Zhao'er, take it and eat it."

Five-year-old Xia Zhao looked up at his mother and nodded before taking it and eating it carefully.

"Qingqing, if you need anything from me, just tell me. There's no need to bring anything."

Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll be frank. Your fishing boat is just sitting there anyway, so why not rent it to me like you did to Second Mother's boat?"

"But, but my boat broke down..."

"It's okay, I'll find someone to fix it!" Xia Qingqing immediately became interested and said, "Sister-in-law, since you can read, you must be able to keep accounts, right?"

Bai Erniang slapped her thigh and said, "She will definitely do that. I remember Sister Taohua's father was an accountant..."

It’s a pity that I left too early.

"That's great," Xia Qingqing immediately stepped forward, took Taohua's hand, and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, I solemnly invite you to be my accountant..."

"No, it's the accountant's wife. We'll pay her the same wages as in town! Of course, there are other bonuses..."

"If the wages are the same as in town, wouldn't that mean several taels of silver?!" Bai Erniang was extremely excited, as if she had been hired. She felt envious and happy.

Taohua was suddenly stunned and murmured, "Accountant's wife? Can I be an accountant's wife?"

"Of course I can."

Seeing Xia Qingqing nod, Taohua couldn't believe it. Tears welled up in her eyes as she murmured, "But there has never been a woman who could be an accountant. This really... sounds unbelievable to me."

"I can do it here," Xia Qingqing stood up and said to the two of them seriously, "and I think women are no worse than men!"

Bai Erniang and Taohua looked at Xia Qingqing's confident look, and a sense of yearning suddenly arose in their hearts.

This was the first time they had heard such words in their lives, and they thought they sounded very nice.

"Okay!" Taohua slammed the table, stood up, and patted her chest, promising, "Qingqing, I will definitely do better than anyone else."

"Sister-in-law, starting tomorrow you'll go to my house and follow my eldest brother to familiarize yourself with daily life. You'll be busy after a while." Xia Qingqing saw Xia Zhao from the window and turned to say, "Leave the child to my mother first..."

"Second Mother, the snow has melted. My family is planning to build a house, and we need a few people to cook."

"I'll do it!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Erniang immediately agreed without even asking the price.

"Second Mother, don't you even ask about the wages?"

"I'll do it even if you don't pay me, as long as I have food." Bai Erniang immediately expressed her opinion.

Ever since Xia Qingqing kicked Zhao Huzi away last time, she felt like she had found a backer when she saw Xia Qingqing.

For some reason, she believed that as long as she followed Xia Qingqing, she would no longer live a depressed life.

After leaving Sister Taohua's house, Xia Qingqing went directly to the grocery store. As expected, the fight between Mrs. Ying and her husband was almost over.

The two men were sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, and the shop was covered in feces and urine of various colors, which looked both funny and disgusting.

"Uncle Huzi, last time you sneaked over my wall in the middle of the night and accidentally left your shoes behind when you were escaping, I threw them away because I thought they were disgusting..."

"Ah! Kill you!"

Bai Erniang suddenly interjected, making Ying Pozi angry again.

The war that had just subsided suddenly broke out again. Bai Erniang on the side sneered and spat at Zhao Huzi.

Only after leaving Taohua's house did she realize how cowardly she was.

She is not as carefree as she was in her romantic life, and she knows how to fight back when encountering problems.

Sometimes the more you endure, the more you get bullied.

"My fellow villagers, please come with me to the street corner. I will talk to you about debt collection." After saying this, Xia Qingqing covered her nose and walked ahead in disgust.

If there weren't so many people here today, she really didn't want to speak in such an occasion.

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped watching the fun and followed Xia Qingqing's footsteps.

As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she saw Huo Xiaoniu running towards her in a hurry. She said to her, "Second sister-in-law, there are many people coming to our house. There are people from the neighboring village, and some I don't know. It's scary."

Bai Erniang immediately became alert and asked, "Is someone here to cause trouble?"

"Qingqing, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've been so ostentatious every day, so you might have offended someone," the old woman said softly, seemingly trying to persuade him but with a hint of ridicule. "As someone who's been through this, I'd like to advise you to leave some room for improvement so we can meet again in the future."
