Chapter 35. Villains' father feeling relieved


Lin Qing He observed this man. She saw a kind of uneasiness in his eyes, which made her slightly startled. It turned out that he was not as undaunted as he showed.

He was actually worried on the inside. It was just that he didn't know how to express these emotions, so he appeared to not care at all.

Zhou Qing Bai also examined her. He saw the confusion in her eyes, disbelief, and a hint of undisguised loss. Not a single disappointment or despair.

This made him stunned.

What made him even more shocked was what Lin Qing He said next.

"Retire then. The house needs a man, otherwise, I will not be able to sleep peacefully at night." As if admitting her fate, her shoulders collapsed and uttered.

This sentence successfully drew Zhou Qing Bai's attention. He remembered when he knocked on the door on his return last night, she voiced out harsh words at the door.

"Someone dare come to disturb at night?" Zhou Qing Bai enquired in a deep voice.

Lin Qing He looked like she had no reason to live. She powerlessly responded: "No. It’s just that one time, I felt someone hopped over the wall outside. At that time I wasn't asleep, so immediately yelled. You know we have neighbors everywhere, so the thieves ran away. There were no real losses."

Zhou Qing Bai's face was gloomy: "It's my fault."

If something really happened, he dare not imagine the consequences.

Lin Qing He directed an expressionless face at him: "From this evening on, you will sleep on the Kang next door."

She admired her intellect. Unintentionally, she found such a wonderful excuse to sleep separately?

Zhou Qing Bai gave an odd look. Such a big matter, she didn't say anything else? She didn't scold him, or make him go back?

"What are you looking at!" Lin Qing He glared at him.

Zhou Qing Bai mentally exclaimed, 'that's the right reaction!'

"I'm telling you now, even if you retire, I won't go out and work. After marrying you, I have no plans to work on the field!" Lin Qing He stated.

"Just me working is enough." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. He never planned to let her work in the field. That was too exhausting. Just him was enough.

"Also the house chores. You also have to do your share!" Lin Qing He continued.

"Ok." Zhou Qing Bai also agreed.

"The retirement fund, how much is there? I'm managing that too!" Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai took out the package he brought back last night. Opening the package, two sets of clothes and a water heater were revealed.

At the sight of the water heater, Lin Qing He's eyes lit up. There was only one at home. Not enough to use. Now with an additional one, it was sufficient.

There was also a backpack, footwear, and the like.

The backpack was bulging. Zhou Qing Bai handed it over directly: "It's all here."

Lin Qing He was actually a little embarrassed, but she still took it. Afterward, she was stunned: "So much money? How much is there?"

"Three thousand." Zhou Qing Bai darted a glance at her.

"Why is there so much?" Lin Qing He shocked.

There were almost two hundred yuans left in her pocket, and this was also a huge sum of money. She never expected Zhou Qing Bai to bring back three thousand yuans this time. What does this mean?

"I made a huge contribution. My superior applied it for me." Zhou Qing Bai clarified. It can be regarded as compensation and consolation for him.

"There are so many coupons!" Lin Qing He exclaimed in surprise.

Industrial coupons, food coupons, and cloth coupons were all there. And they were nationally accepted ones that will not expire!

Zhou Qing Bai noticed that her attention was all on these things, he wondered if he passed this hurdle?

"The matter last time scared me a lot. It's good that you are at home. However, I must still explain it clearly to you first. I won’t do the work outside work. Too exhausting and I hate farming the most. At home, I will take care of the meals and three kids for you, so you don't have to worry. But from now, you will sleep in the kids' room. There's sufficient firewood at home, so you don't need to save. There's a lot stocked up in the backyard. "Lin Qing He steadily looked at him.

Zhou Qing Bai knew there was enough firewood in the house, and a lot were piled up in the firewood shed and the corner of the courtyard. When he asked Da Wa, he found out she requested Zhou Dong to transport them over for winter usage.

The matter that pressing against his mind like a heavy stone on his way home, disappeared like that?

After listening to her intention, it meant it was over, right?

Zhou Qing Bai couldn't help but stare at Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He was in a very good mood, no matter what he thought. She took the entire backpack for her to manage into her hands and then remarked, "Did you tell your mother about this?"

"Not yet." Zhou Qing Bai still watched her.

"Then you go, say it yourself. I will not say such a shameful thing anyway." Lin Qing He waved her hand and said.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her and responded with an 'En'. Since she didn't explode, he was truly relieved.

He didn't ponder anymore and simply attributed her changes to the fact that she was scared by the thief.

As for asking him to go to sleep next door, it didn't think of anything, because every time he returned in the past, she couldn't wait for him to leave quickly.

Now that he had retired, she definitely would not let him stay in this room.

This wasn't a big deal. As long as she didn't cause a ruckus, it made Zhou Qing Bai relax. He told her, "I'm going over to my father and mother."

There was no burden in telling his father and mother because his wife was the bigger problem here. And now the biggest problem was solved.

"Go then." Lin Qing He nodded.

Zhou Qing Bai came to the old Zhou's home.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou hadn't had time to be happy about their youngest son's return as they were shocked by the news directly announced by their youngest son.

"What? You retired? Won't go anymore?" Father Zhou froze.

"What happened? Out of nowhere, why retire?" Mother Zhou was even more anxious.

"I reached the age, so I retired." Zhou Qing Bai was still concise with his answer.

Eldest Brother Zhou, Second Brother Zhou, and Third Brother Zhou were all confused.

"How can you reach the age? You are only twenty-seven! Your future is limitless!" Third Brother Zhou was first to react.

Eldest Brother Zhou and Second Brother Zhou also asked him the reason.

But Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. Not an extra word of explanation.

"If you retire, then you retired." Father Zhou voiced out after a long silence. "Such a big man, you just need works hard. Da Wa ad his brothers will soon grow up. They will be able to work when the time comes. There are no worries about eating and drinking. "

The three Zhou brothers looked at each other.

"Old Fourth, you come in with Mother." Mother Zhou ordered.

Zhou Qing Bai did not say anything and followed the sad Mother Zhou into the room.

"Old Fourth, tell your mother, what exactly is going on? Mother doesn't believe you reached the age for retirement." Zhou mother stared at her youngest son.

Zhou Qing Bai knew that the usual excuses could not fool her, so he showed her the wound on his chest. Although it had healed, there was still a big scar.

It was almost close to the heart. Mother Zhou's heartbeat slowed by half a beat at the sight of it. She understood without her son saying anymore.
