Chapter 140. Anger to death


Before Second Sister-in-law Lin could say the second half, Lin Qing He interrupted her, "Ain't that right? Already married, so you're not a member of your maternal family but your in-laws’ family. Naturally, you have to lean towards your in-laws’ family. Is there any reason for favoring your maternal family? This Eldest Sister-in-law and Li Cui Hua, as daughters-in-law you two really have to learn from me. Don’t always focus on your maternal family. Placing no importance on in-law’s family isn't the mentality a daughter-in-law should have."

Eldest Sister-in-law Lin felt completely sick. What on earth possessed this little sister-in-law? It was almost like a different person.

She used to be a sharp mouth, but nowhere as powerful as now.

"Since my parents-in-law came over to live, I can see it clearly. If I don't have any money in my hand, I can't do anything at all. I come back to my maternal family to ask for some money and this is your attitude?" Lin Qing He cynically remarked, "Sure enough, even when being rich in the deep mountains, there are distant relatives and no one care when one is poor in the downtown area. I'm poor and empty now, you all avoid me like the plague? Yesterday, you mistakenly thought that I was still rich, so you wanted to stick to me again?"

"Little sister, you haven't come back by yourself in the past three years." Eldest Brother Lin frowned.

"Pai!" Lin Qing He directly spat at him: "What do you think you are? Still dare to call me little sister? Is little sister something you can call? My name is Lin Qing He. Call me by first name and last name!"

Eldest Brother Lin's expression sank instantly.

"Everyone's mountain is mountain, water is water*. I already stated clearly and old Lin family still wants to stick to me like a mangy dog!" Lin Qing He snorted coldly.

"You...you..." Mother Lin was anger to death.

Father Lin's face was even more livid.

Eldest Brother Lin, Eldest Sister-in-law Lin, Second Brother Lin, Second Sister-in-law Lin who got up, and the other nephews and nieces didn't expect that she could say such a heavy word.

She really intended to break the relationship!

"I didn't have to sever the relationship with you. If you were willing to give me some money, then I would leave it be and barely recognize your relatives." Lin Qing He glanced at them and said.

"Get out of here. Scram as far as you can go!" Mother Lin couldn't help it at last and burst out at once. She yelled at her.

"Do you think I wish to be here on your old Lin family's ruined land? It might even make me unlucky. However, I didn't return and enter here to make trouble with you. old Second Lin, go in immediately and take out the military coat. I have already inquired, a set of that kind can sell for a dozen of yuans!" Lin Qing He directed at Second Brother Lin.

"The army coat was already given to me. That is mine!" Second Brother Lin couldn't help but utter.

He also didn't expect that she would not give up and wanted to take the military coat back.

He really loved that military coat. It was very warm and durable. There was no better coat than this, so don't even think about it.

"It looks like you want me to go to your team to report you, old Second Lin, an invader has forcibly occupied supplies of the veterans!" Lin Qing He sneered.

"What are you talking about? Who is the invader? Who forcibly occupied your things? Don't talk nonsense!" Father Lin's expression changed and immediately responded.

"Sister, these words can't be randomly sputtered!" Eldest Sister Lin's expression turned.

"Zhou Qing Bai gained great military merits and got this military coat in return. It was because I was ignorant back then and got deceived by old Second Lin. Now I am here to get it back. What's wrong with that? Old Second Lin, ain't he learning from what the former invader did when they raided the village!" Lin Qing He raised her voice.

"Are you trying to anger me to death? You want me to die from anger!" Mother Lin stomped her feet with anger.

"I hope old madam will live a long life." Lin Qing He wasn't very sincere when she said this. Then she swept her gaze to Second Brother Lin, "Old Second Lin, I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't go in and take my military coat out, then wait for the Red Soldiers to come in and sweep the house. Qing Bai happens to know someone in the city!"

"You took it back to your maternal family first. It was you, who brought it back yourself. Who forced you to take it!" Second Sister-in-law Lin maintained, however, she was really afraid that the red soldier would come.

If they came, it won't be a trivial matter!

"Originally, I thought I'll leave it at that and not stoop down as low as you. I never thought you dare to gossip about me. Since it's like that, I don't need to show mercy. Old Second Lin, I will ask you, are you getting it or not? "Lin Qing He glanced at Second Brother Lin coldly.

"Don't bully too much!" Second Brother Lin uttered with a sullen expression: "If you really be in a feud with maternal family, no one will vent out your anger for you when get bullied by old Zhou family in the future!"

"What an enormous joke? If I was bullied before, none of you would stand up for me. Do you think I will still rely on you now? I got three sons and my man. Do I still need you to give me support? Really treat yourself as something!" Lin Qinghe sneered, with a cold tone: "Are you getting it?"

"Who needs your thing!" Second Brother Lin was extremely furious, he turned around to get it.

"Are you stupid? To give away our family's things. Why do we have to give it back to her? Why" Second Sister-in-law Lin immediately reacted.

"Did you not hear what she said? Going to find the Red Soldier!" Second Brother Lin said gloomily, and then scolded: "And if you didn't beckon her home, would she come and request for it!"

Second Sister-in-law Lin burst into tears of anger.

"You bad woman!" One of her sons scolded Lin Qing He.

"Oh, know to scold people now." Lin Qing He laughed and then made her solemn: "My things were used to be fed to a dog. When you ate my sweets, I didn't see you calling me bad!"
"Take it and scram. In the future, if you dare to take a step on old Lin's ground, see if I won't snap your legs!" Second Brother Lin threw out the military coat. He glared at Lin Qing He fiercely as he declared.

Lin Qing He smiled: "Now it's right. How can I go back empty-handed when you call me back." Then she picked up the military coat and said disgustedly: "But this good military coat was worn by a dog. I really don't want it."

She walked directly to Eldest Sister Lin and stuffed the coat into her arms: "Sister-in-law, I will give this coat to your first branch. This time I will do what I say and will never regret it. Everyone can testify to me. ."
"Sister, don't be like this. Our two families really have no feud." Eldest Sister Lin didn't think the army coat was good in her hold and her expression changed slightly.

"I'm giving it to you because we don't have any feud. I know you used to blame me for not giving it to you. Now I'm giving it to you. It can't be because your first branch is afraid of them, second branch? And dare not accept this coat? But take a good look. Open your eyes. Though I dislike this army coat was worn by a dog, it's still good quality." Lin Qing He smiled.

She stuffed the coat to Eldest Sister-in-law Lin, then pushed her bicycle and walked out of the old Lin’s yard with a laugh. Finally, she said to Father Lin and Mother Lin: "Old couple, have a good New Year. I hope you two are healthy and live a long life!"

Not paying any heed to the trembling Father Lin and Mother Lin or how Eldest Sister-in-law Lin handled the military coat, she rode the bicycle and left!

Chapter 139. Relying on her family's man's power


Back at home.

Zhou Qing Bai heard about Third Brother Lin's visit.

"I'm going back tomorrow." Lin Qing He said.

"I'll go with you." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

Lin Qing He halted before smiling: "No need. Don't follow. If you follow me, then I will lose the upper-hand."

Zhou Qing Bai stared at her and asked what she meant with his eyes.

"Anyway, leave it at that. This is my maternal family's matter and only I can solve it." Lin Qing He stated.

"Don't make it too strain." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Lin Qing He chuckled and looked at him as she declared, "I only have my man and my sons in my heart. I will not be merciful to anyone who dares to disturb my life."

She certainly won't show mercy. So she came to old Lin's house after breakfast the next day.

Mother Lin had just packed her things and was about to go out to teach that unfilial girl.

"Oh, isn't this Third Sister? I didn't expect you to pass through the family door..."

"Slap!"

Lin Qing He parked the bicycle and gave the sharp-mouthed Second Sister-in-law Lin a slap. This caused her to be dizzy.

Second Sister-in-law Lin wasn't the only taken by surprise, the other members of the old Lin family did too.

Mother Lin, Eldest Brother Lin, Eldest Sister-in-law Lin, Second Brother Lin, Third Brother Lin, and Third Sister-in-law Lin never expect that Lin Qing He, who had not returned to her family for a long time, to greet her second sister-in-law with a slap in the face.

"You hit me?" Second Sister-in-law Lin covered her face and finally reacted. She stared at Lin Qing He with wide-eyed eyes: "You bitch, you dare to hit me? See if I won't beat you to death!"

After speaking, she rushed toward Lin Qing He.

How could Lin Qing He be afraid of her? She avoided the hand which was aimed at her face, grabbed her hair, and then threw Second Sister-in-law Lin over the shoulder.

With a "bang", Second Sister-in-law Lin landed on the ground and howled.

Lin Qing He had only used this trick once before, when she found Second Sister-in-law annoying and threw her out without any hesitation.

Once again, old Lin family turned into statues due to her action.

"Lin Qinghe's gossip is something you, Li Cui Hua dare to say? I haven't teach a lesson, so you don't know my temper?" Lin Qing He said as she stared down at Second Sister-in-law Lin, who was on the ground.

"Old Second Lin, are you dead? Seeing your woman getting beaten and you still stand there and watch!" Still not getting up, Second Sister-in-law Lin howled on the ground while scolding Second Brother Lin.

"This is a matter between us women. Old Second Lin, if you dare to touch me, my Qing Bai can break your dog legs at once without hesitation. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Lin Qing He coldly swept a glance at Second Brother Lin.

Only now, Second Brother Lin reacted. His face was extremely gloomy. He really wanted to teach his sister, but when Lin Qinghe said this, he really didn't dare to do it.

Who was Zhou Qing Bai? He retired as a soldier, and he can toy with a few of him when fighting.

Moreover, there was no need to ask who taught Lin Qing He this extremely neat shoulder throw just now!

"Old Second Lin, you're just going to let me be beaten like this?" Second Sister-in-law Lin wife was furious.

"This is forcing your man to get his dog's legs broken. Why do you keep such a cruel wife, Old Second Lin? Simply divorce and marry another. Marry a better one. You can't keep this kind of troublemaker. The atmosphere of Lin family was destroyed by her," Lin Qing He said.

"You haven't wiped your butt clean, so don't come back and point around in your maternal family!" Second Brother Lin threw back immediately.

"Old Second Lin, you'd better be polite to me when you speak. If you keep talking sh*t, would you believe that I'll feed you sh*t?" Lin Qing He swept a cold glance at him.

Brother Lin was steaming mad.

There was a saying in the countryside, children who dare to fight outside were relying on the power of adults, while women who dare to be arrogant outside were relying on the power of their men!

And now Lin Qing He dared to not put people in her eyes like this was all due to Zhou Qing Bai.

Second Brother Lin was actually afraid of Zhou Qing Bai, this cold-faced brother-in-law. He had always been afraid.

"Father, Mother, you're letting your married-off daughter come back to the maternal home to bully your daughter-in-law? Are bullying cause my old Li family got nobody?" Second Sister-in-law Lin saw that her man was restrained and couldn't handle it, so she immediately turned to her in-laws.

"Really going against the sky! Against the sky!" Mother Lin only recovered then. She trembled as she pointed at Lin Qing He. (T/N: another interpretation can be defying heaven or revolting.)

"Aiyo, old lady, don't get ill from anger. If you get a stroke, don't think about relying on your two sons and daughters-in-law to serve you, with their kind of personality." Lin Qing He persuaded with a grin.

Mother Lin's eyes widened: "You dare to talk to me like this? Do you have me, your mother in your eyes?"

"Of course I have. Otherwise, why would I still remember you and my dad and rushed over? Da Wa's next year's tuition fee for going to school has not yet been paid. Do give me more as I had brought back a lot of things for you two in the past!" Lin Qing He simply stated.

"You still have the face to come back and ask for money?" Father Lin said solemnly.

He was also a little afraid of his youngest son-in-law, who had always been unsmiling and very serious.

Especially when he knew that the youngest son-in-law didn't have a good impression of old Lin's family.

"Why don't I have the face to come back and ask for money? Old man, are you suffering from amnesia? How could you not know how much money I brought back in the past? Once you have eaten it, you have forgotten it? Let's not mention the other stuff and focus on the current quilt on your Kang. That was all made by the cotton I gathered. Nw I'm coming back to ask you for money, what's wrong with that?" Lin Qing He said confidently.

"Little Sister, don't joke. Your second sister-in-law met you in the city yesterday and saw you bought so many things. You bought a lot of that rare milk powder. So how can you still have no money?" Eldest Sister Lin took over the conversation and pointed out with a smile.

Eldest Sister-in-law is really a smiling Buddha. You simply pushed out Second Sister-in-law Lin." Lin Qing He said.

Eldest Sister-in-law Lin's face became stiff, and uttered, "Little Sister, don't provoke the relationship between your mother's family."

"Whether there's any provocation, you know it well in your own heart." Lin Qing He sneered: "As for those things yesterday, it wasn't mine. My children are already that big, do they still need something like milk powder? My sister-in-law married into the city and her son is raised at home by my mother-in-law, understand idiot?"

She gave Li Cui Hua a top-to-bottom glance.

How could Lin Cui Hua possibly know about this? But still, Lin Qing He certainly won't dare to lie about this kind of thing, as it'll be known as soon as they inquired about it.

She gritted her teeth: "Even if milk powder isn't, what about other things? If you have the money to buy so many things, shouldn't you respect your own parents?"

"As expected, old Lin family really didn't place any consideration for me, the daughter. To not even know my in-laws have already joined us for meals. The elders got us to buy whatever they want to eat. If you have any objection, you can go find old Zhou family and tell them." Lin Qing He sniggered.

"Little sister is really filial, she treats her in-laws so well..." But she didn't care about her own parents.

Last chapter, I refer Lin Qing He as 'Sister-in-law' from Second Sister-in-law's standpoint but now we got Third Sister-in-law Lin joining in, I need to change it. The author used Third Guzi (a.k.a sister-in-law from husband's side) for Lin Qing He. So to not mix up with Third Sister-in-law Lin, I used Third Sister like I did around chapter 99.

Chapter 138. Leech


Zhou Qing Bai never had any objection to her decision. And compared to his parents, he knew that his wife was still smuggling pork. Apparently, grains too.

Actually, he was powerless. She didn't listen to him, but at least there was an agreement between the two. As long as she meets with an accident once, then she better prepare to not do it again.

Up to now, she hadn't encountered any problems at all. She was actually quite capable.

Even he didn't know how she did it.

However, it was undeniable that his wife was smart. Just this smartness wasn't implemented in the right way.

But no matter what, she got him. No big serious problem will happen.

The couple went home.

On this side, Second Sister-in-law Lin walked home by herself.

With a stomach full of anger.

As soon as she got home, she naturally brought it up to Father Lin and Mother Lin, saying that the little sister-in-law, Lin Qing He, had a very good life.

"You didn't see it. That bag of milk powder costs three yuan each and she bought two bags in one go. There's also candies and red dates. I have no idea how much she spent altogether!" Second Sister-in-law Lin snorted coldly when she came back.

"Not possible. Qing Bai doesn't have a salary now. Where can she get so much money." Stumped, Mother Lin uttered.

"Mother, have you forgotten. My brother-in-law still has retirement fees. Who knows how much it is. Sister-in-law's previous visit must be due to worrying about us taking advantage. So she came back to cut off the relationship. Mother, your daughter is really formidable ah!" Second Sister-in-law Lin deduced.

"Qing He couldn't possibly think that." Eldest Brother Lin said.

"Who knows. Last time she came to borrow and get the things back like someone owes her. Until now, she still haven't returned here. If she gets bullied, who will stand up for her?" Second Brother Lin harrumphed.

"Whoever stands up, it still won't be you. You hide faster than anyone else." Third Brother Lin said.

"What are you talking about!" Second Brother Lin glared.


"Don't strut in this nest. We're all one family, who doesn't know who." Third Sister-in-law Lin San blandly interjected.

"The two of you received benefits from her, naturally will side with her." Second Sister-in-law Lin Er's snorted.

"I still understand Third Sister's temperament. Previously, she was rich, but she'll use it up by now according to her spending habits. If you want to request money from her, then that's a terrible plan." Third Sister-in-law Lin rubbed her stomach and said.

Yes, after the first two daughters, she was pregnant again. Now it was more than seven months along. Normally, she will give birth in about two months.

"What terrible plan? Father and Mother gave birth to her and raised her. Does a daughter act like her? She hadn't come back once in so many years and eat and dress well at her in-law's house. This is really cruel." Second Sister-in-law Lin sneered.

"Then if you eat and drink well at your in-laws' house, will you also move old Lin's things back to your maternal family?" Third Sister-in-law Lin threw back.

"What are you talking about? You and brother-in-law have split off. Why are you intervening in old Lin's family matters?" Second Sister-in-law lashed out.

Third Sister-in-law Lin San nodded: "That's reasonable." Then she held her stomach and return to her room. Third Brother Lin wasn't interested in staying and listen to them scheme on his sister, so he went back too.

"In a bit, find a time to go to Third Sister's side and give her a heads-up. Judging by mother's reaction, she'll definitely make a trip over," instructed Third Sister-in-law Lin.

How could she not know her in-law's temperament?

Third Brother Lin frowned and nodded, "Then I will go there this afternoon."

Sure enough, after hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mother Lin planned to do that.

"I have never seen such a daughter like this, requiring this old bone to personally visit her!" Mother Lin remarked coldly.

"When you're there, calmly talk to her. According to her personality, who would support her when she offends someone if she doesn't have old Lin family?" Father Lin said as he puffed on a big cigarette.

"Mother, don't listen to what Third's wife said. From the decisiveness I saw, there must be a lot of money in her hand. Mother, when you go over, you must highlight how our old Lin family's house is so old and have to be repaired or else it might not survive the snow this year," said Second Sister-in-law Lin persisted.

"Did you really see her buy so many things?" Mother Lin asked her.

"How can this be fake? Also, brother-in-law was healthily nurtured, not a bit like a farmer. Who knows how good the food is. It's definite that the milk powder isn't lacking. Mother, when you go over, you must get a bag of it back. You and Dad will be more nourished when you have it." Second Sister-in-law Lin responded.

"Why didn't you ask her then?" Mother Lin said to her.

"Mother, you don't know how fierce my little sister-in-law is. How could I dare to take her things." Second Sister-in-law Lin said after hearing this.
Mother Lin didn't say anything, she knew her youngest daughter well. She probably held some anger in her heart as she still hadn't come back now.

It was a good idea to go over tomorrow and talk about it. She can't really dare to not recognize her as her mother. If so, she will scold her for being unfilial, and scold her in front of the whole village. See if she has any face then!

Third Brother Lin went over in the afternoon.

Lin Qing He sneered as soon as he completed his retell. As expected, Second Sister-in-law Lin went back to wag her tongue. She responded, "It's okay. The old lady want to come, then let her come. I really don't have any good reputation in the village, so I can't possibly be afraid of her."

The leech wants to suck her blood, then let her try.

"There's also the boys." Third Brother Lin sighed softly.

Lin Qing He frowned. She doesn't care about this. However, if the scene occurs in their own village, then Zhou Qing Bai and the boys will not look bad.

So she said: "I will go back early tomorrow morning."

Third Brother Lin nodded and said, "Sister, is there enough food at home?"

"Enough. Even though I don't go to the field, your brother-in-law won't starve me. What about you?" Lin Qing He asked.

"It's enough." Third Brother Lin smiled.

"This piece of meat isn't any quality meat. Take it back and feed it to my two nieces." Lin Qing He wrapped him with a piece of loin. Not much, about 2-3 liang (100-150g).

"Sister, no need. Leave it for Da Wa and his brothers. There's nothing else, so I will go back first." Third Brother Lin quickly said.

After that, he hurried back. Lin Qing He had to chase after him on a bicycle. Third Brother Lin was helpless but still accept it.

"Go back." Lin Qing He waved goodbye.

Third Brother Lin returned home. Third Sister-in-law Lin saw that he brought a piece of meat back with him and also felt touched.

"Did you tell Third Sister?" Third Sister-in-law Lin asked as she stored the meat. She planned to eat pork and cabbage dumplings tonight.

"I did. My sister will come here early tomorrow morning." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"Third Sister will definitely be quarreling when she comes back this time. You have to protect her then. I will stay away, you don't worry about me." instructed Third sister-in-law Lin.

"It won't be that bad." Third Brother Lin was startled.

"I'm only talking about if it gets bad. If it's not that serious, naturally there's no need it. In my opinion, Third Sister really doesn't want to interact with old Lin's family. There will definitely be trouble," said Third sister-in-law.

Chapter 137. Ordering milk



"What your sister-in-law? Why didn't you greet her when she was here? I seen a lot of people like you. Hurry up and leave, otherwise don't blame me for calling someone to arrest you!" The salesperson didn't act polite at all.

At this time, the sellers were also very popular and haughty.

Thanks to Lin Qing He's unique aura, which one can tell she was very formidable at first glance and her (willing to spend) actions, the salesperson was willing to pull out the cloth on a sale. It wasn't surprising to hear her say she doesn't want it, rather she felt the other might look down on the reduced price items.

But when it came to other things, she was merciless especially to those who appeared to be from the countryside at first glance.

Her attitude was very domineering.

Wasn't this woman Second Sister-in-law Lin from Lin Qing He's maternal family?

Naturally, Second Sister-in-law Lin didn't dare to go head-on with the salesperson. She also came in to buy things. She bought some cloth to make herself a new set of clothes.

She never expected to run into her sister-in-law who really broke off with her maternal family.

What's more, she was also stunned by this transaction.

My goodness, didn't she say she had no money? How can she buy so many things if there was no money? If she was correct, afraid that was over ten yuans.

Especially the two bags of milk powder. One bag cost three yuan. Even gold wasn't that expensive. She even bought it without blinking!

That was why she wanted to check it. If there was something she could use, she would take it away.

But she didn't expect to be scolded by the salesperson.

She hadn't dared to stay longer and immediately came out of the supply and demand cooperative. Even if she kept insisting that she was Lin Qing He's maternal family's sister-in-law, the salesperson wouldn't believe it.

When Lin Qing He finished shopping for the other things, she saw Second Sister-in-law Lin waiting for her at the door of the supply and demand cooperative.

In fact, if Second Sister-in-law Lin didn't wave as soon as she saw her, Lin Qing He would just ignore her.

Even if her beckoning attracted attention, Lin Qing He had no intention t go over at all. She went straight past her into the supply and demand cooperative.

"The woman just now wanted to see what you bought. I believe she wanted to take your things and said she was your sister-in-law from your maternal family." The salesperson recounted to her.

"I must really thank you. I don't know her. Don't know where this woman came from. I guess she wants to gain some benefit." Lin Qing He glanced at Second Sister-in-law Lin and said in a loud voice.

This had Second Sister-in-law Lin steaming. She actually talked to her like this!

"I see this kind of people a lot." The salesperson expressed her understanding.

Before Zhou Qing Bai came back, Lin Qing He went along and chatted with the salesperson. She didn't any intention to go out and talk to Second Sister-in-law Lin.

There was no one at this time, so the salesperson was also happy to chat with her. Listening to Lin Qinghe's extraordinary speech, the salesperson didn't dare to underestimate her even if she can tell she was from the countryside. She guessed this is a teacher.

Otherwise, how can an ordinary peasant woman still have this educated speech?

"You really aren't going to go out and talk to her?" the salesperson asked.

"You haven't seen her when she's in a rampant. Currently, she's just pretending to be pitiful." Lin Qing He responded.

"Judging by her mean appearance, I think she can't be nice at all." The salesperson said.

However, Second Sister-in-law Lin had made up her mind to wait. Lin Qing He estimated that Zhou Qing Bai was coming back soon, so she came out with a frown.

"Sister-in-law." Second Sister-in-law Lin, who had been waiting for half an hour, could still squeeze out a smile.

"What Sister-in-law? I have completely severed the ties with old Lin family. What I said before, are you treating it like I was joking?" Lin Qing He glanced at her mockingly.

Second Sister-in-law Lin chuckled, "Sister-in-law, don't tell jokes. Father and Mother have been talking about you at home, saying why aren't you going back. Don't say words of angry this year. You have to go back."

"I know clearly what that old Lin couple's temper is like. Me, a married-off daughter like a splashed out water, don't have any existence in their eyes otherwise, they would not be so heartless and cruel last time. Also, I still got three sons to support. Even if I have the heart to be filial, I have no strength to. After all, they have so many sons, they can’t ask their married off daughters to go back to provide for the elderly. If it was known, they will be cast aside by people in and outside the village." Lin Qing He stated indifferently.

Second Sister-in-law Lin didn't know that this sister-in-law had become so formidable. And from what she saw, she really planned to completely cut off contact.

"Sister-in-law, Father and Mother don't need you to feed them, otherwise our family will have to be ripped away. Father and Mother just miss you and want you to go home and visit." Second Sister-in-law persisted.

"Come on, they can remember me." Lin Qing He snorted.

Zhou Qing Bai came over at this time, and Lin Qing He directed at him: "I'll go in and get things!"



After speaking, she entered the supply and demand cooperative to get things. The salesperson was surprised: "You man is a soldier, right?"
"Yes. You got to find a soldier in the future. They are reliable." Lin Qing He casually remarked.

"Don't know if you can give any introduction?" Who knew that the girl's face would blush slightly and said.

"When do you go to work? I will go back and ask my man. Next time, I'll come when you're at work and tell you while I'm here." Lin Qing He thought that this girl was a bit arrogant, but in fact she wasn't bad in nature. She knew to protect the customers' things and not let people touch it and just responded.

The salesperson answered at once.

"Then I will ask for you when I go back." Lin Qing He nodded.

As for whether there was anyone who can meet her match, she didn't know.

When she came out, Zhou Qing Bai was expressionless and Second Sister-in-law Lin had a stiff smile.

"Let's go, we're heading back." Lin Qing He said as she carried the things.

Zhou Qing Bai hummed a response and took her back to the village.

Lin Qing He asked, "What did she tell you?"

"Told me to visit on the second day of the new year." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

"Have you promised?" Lin Qing He asked.

"I didn't, I listen to you." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

Lin Qing He was pleased and said, "That's the right answer."

"Don't plan to go back?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.

"Not going back. Except for my little brother, the rest isn't anything good. I used to be blind and connect with them. Now that my eyes are better, I have to keep my distance." Lin Qing He stated.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. It was fine for his wife to decide on these matters. How his wife wanted it to be was how it'll be.
Lin Qing He asked about the milk. Zhou Qing Bai said, "It will be available next year."
Even if he didn't ask, there will be a milk station in the countryside next year, and at that time, there'll be a milkman.

"What's the price for milk delivery?" Lin Qing He asked.

"One dime per bottle." Zhou Qing Bai answered.

"Counting the heads, we should order a few bottles. But Father and Mother live prudently. If I do so, the old couple will definitely not be able to accept it, so we'll order two bottles a day." Lin Qing He pondered.

But she felt that even if she ordered two bottles, the old couple would probably still be distressed about the money.

One bottle costs one dime, two bottles cost two dimes, meaning more than six yuan a month.

At this time, six yuan wasn't a small amount. Other people only had so much salary.

Chapter 136. Married couple entered the city



The team's settlement evaluation was an annual event.

They had to go to a public meeting in the city.

A good evaluation was naturally something to take pride in.

According to Lin Qing He's past few years, the team's harvest was indeed very good. Especially in the past two years, they basically had what counts as a bumper harvest every year.

Lin Qing He, who didn't have a sense of collective honor, didn't care about this. She simply asked: "Can we kill more pigs this year?"

"No." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

Lin Qing He left it alone.

Truthfully, there was no benefit, so what else was there to say?

Zhou Qing Bai felt helpless to see her like this and planned to tell her about this sense of honor.

"I know. A sense of honor. Our team receives an excellent rating, the young men and girls on the team have it easier when finding a marriage partner and when going out, one can feel like they're gliding (high esteem). I understand that." Lin Qing He began to make the dough as she planned to eat dumplings tonight. Her mouth moved in response.

Zhou Qing Bai did not speak.

Lin Qing He looked up at him after a while and said, "If you got nothing to do, just cut the pickled veg for me."

Zhou Qing Bai could only go over and cut pickled veg.

He found that his wife was really different. You can say she understands, however sometimes she acts so slow-witted.

In a place like the capital, she dared to go out by herself and not be afraid at all, like a silly big sister.

But if you say she doesn't understand it, it's very...difficult to.

She understands everything. She just doesn't follow the rules, but she also doesn't violate the rules. Everything is within the rules, and then she does it her own way. Especially independent.

Zhou Qing Bai peered at his wife as he chopped pickled veg.

Lin Qing He said: "You guys, eat more later, I don't like pickled veg."

She didn't like to eat tonight's pork and pickled veg dumplings. In fact, she preferred to eat pork and mushroom dumplings, but the mushrooms were gone, so she can only eat pork and pickled veg dumplings.

Of course, the pork and pickled veg dumplings were especially delicious in Zhou Qing Bai and the kids' food collection.

"Make some other fillings." Zhou Qing Bai responded.

"I'll go to the city to buy some more in a few days. There is nothing good at home," Lin Qing He said.

During the days when she and Zhou Qing Bai were away, Mother Zhou hadn't spent any money. The food and drink were sourced within the home. Now the boys can eat more and more every day, it was normal to consume things quickly.

Yesterday, she was really tired and panicked because she had been in a car all the way. At this time, the smell of oily smoke from the car could almost kill people. That's why Lin Qing He didn't have the intention to buy some supplies home when in the city.

"Let's go together." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

"Ok." Lin Qing He nodded.

Dinner was pork and pickled veg dumplings.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had a mouth full of oil.

Mother Zhou asked her: "Is there still meat at home?"

She went out in the morning, so Lin Qing He casually answered: "Cut a piece of leftover."

Mother Zhou didn't say anything.

Now, this weather was getting colder every day, Lin Qing He loved to stick to Zhou Qing Bai when sleeping at night. This man's body temperature was very warm, like a big stove.

"Last night, you had so many times, you got to rest." Not long later, Lin Qing He felt the man's affection for her.

He wasn't young anymore, but his interest in this matter hadn't fallen at all. He still treated her like usual.

If she didn't refuse to budge once in a while, he would basically do it at least once a day. His demand would be considered high.

"Just once." Zhou Qing Bai said in a husky tone.

Although it was only once, it was almost an hour from start to finish.

Lin Qing He couldn't believe this man, it was like he had never eaten meat.

He was satisfied, while Lin Qing He was exhausted.

In the next few days, Lin Qing He went to Sister Mei's place every day to get meat. After she accumulated ten jin of meat, Lin Qing He brought Zhou Qing Bai to the city.

The three boys wanted to tag along but were dissuaded by Lin Qing He.

Initially, they, who received candies and malted milk and got tamed, didn't care about these as they had a lot of it already.

So they would rather not want these things and follow along instead.

"Follow this time and you won't get pictures taken and watch movies during the Chinese New Year. You can choose for yourself." Lin Qing He stated.

These words are very effective, so the three brothers began to make various requests.

Children's book, glass marble, white rabbit candy, and malted milk powder. They want it all!

Lin Qing He had the urge to beat someone. She had spoiled these stinky boys.

"Don't know when there will be a milk station here." Lin Qing He said when she sat behind Zhou Qing Bai on the way to the city.

Zhou Qing Bai rode the bike very steadily, so it was fine for her to hold his waist.

Of course, this had to be while no one was around. If there were people, she had to sit properly.

"Want to drink?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.

As for his wife's arms around his waist, he was very satisfied. He liked the wife's little gestures very much.

Like occasionally kissing him and act like a baby with him.

"The boys have to drink it. Milk is the best at this age," Lin Qing He replied.

Even if she had tried her best to make every meal more nutritious, it was still the case.

"I'm going to ask my comrade-in-arm." Zhou Qing Bai said.

Lin Qing He nodded: "Then you can ask when you get to the county city. I'll do some shopping. Once done, I'll wait for you at the door of the supply and demand cooperative. If you see that I'm not there, then I must be shopping in the mall. Just wait there for me."

"Alright." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

This was the county city, so he naturally didn't have to worry. Compared with the big world outside, he can still handle things in this county city, if something ever happens to her.

When they arrived at the county city, Zhou Qing Bai went to handle his matters, while Lin Qing He went to sell the pork immediately before coming to the supply and demand cooperative.

"There's milk powder?" Lin Qing He's eyes lit up when she saw that there was milk powder.

"Only these left." The salesperson nodded.

"Give me these two bags." Lin Qing He said unpretentiously.

This was a new type of milk powder. A bag of powdered milk was 500 grams and three yuan for a bag.

Of course this was unsweetened. If sugar was added, the bag will cost more than three yuans.

But it was milk powder. What kind of sugar was needed? Pure milk tasted the best.

She bought two bags of milk powder for six yuan without blinking her eyes.

She ordered two bags of milk powder, and then bought some other supplies, including milk candy, mushrooms, shrimp skin, seaweed, and red dates.

"There's still cloth at a reduced price, do you want?" the salesperson asked her.

"No." Lin Qing He shook her head. There were still a lot of cloth at home.

When these items were bought, Lin Qing He wrapped up the bundle and placed it directly at the supply and demand cooperative. Then she went to buy a children's book for Er Wa and glass marble for San Wa.

She didn't notice that someone wanted to see what she bought in her bundle as soon as she left.

However, that person got stopped by the salesman's yelling: "Hey, this lady, what are you doing? It's not yours!"


"Don't misunderstand. That's my sister-in-law." The woman quickly gave an apologetic smile at once.

Chapter 135. Evaluation


Outsiders didn't know why her youngest son and his wife went out for this time, but Mother Zhou clearly did.

So in private, Mother Zhou asked.

Naturally, Zhou Qing Bai wouldn't mention his wife's ligation. He only said: "Even though my body has recovered, it had already damaged the core, so I won't be able to have more children in the future."

Although Mother Zhou was a little disappointed, she didn't take it to heart and comforted her youngest son: "Don't worry, you have three sons. Not one bit lacking."

This was true. A family with three sons wasn't lacking at all in this rural environment.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Mother Zhou whispered again: "Your wife doesn't disdain you, right?"

"She doesn't." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

Only then, Mother Zhou was relieved. Afterward, she had less confidence when talking to Lin Qing He, the youngest daughter-in-law.

Lin Qing He: "..."

She came over and asked Zhou Qing Bai: "What have you said to Mother? When Mother converse with me now, it's like she owes me money." She kept feeling unsettled.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her, then relayed a few sentences.

Lin Qing He coughed dryly: "I'm at fault in this matter. Qing Bai, I solemnly apologize to you now. Don't worry, although I won't be able to give birth in the future, I will definitely respect my in-laws, be compassionate to my husband, and take care of my sons!"

"You still thought of divorcing me, want to leave the kids with me, and leave by yourself." Zhou Qing Bai stared at her.

"I was deliberately angering you. You know that the people can't restrain their mouths when quarreling and would say whatever hurts." Lin Qing He said.

When she thought about it, she was especially upset afterward.

She was a bit overboard. Knowing that he liked her, so she said whatever she wants, but didn't think how much he hurts from hearing it.

Zhou Qing Bai remained silent and continued to clean the pigsty. Seeing him like this, Lin Qing He could feel that he was very lonely and dejected.

Even if he didn't say anything, she could still feel it.

Lin Qing He sighed, then turned around and went to the kitchen to make a good meal.

As soon as she left, Zhou Qing Bai raised his head with a smile on his lips. (T/N: He was acting???)

That evening, the meal was exceptionally wonderful and delicious. Lin Qing He had really put her effort in to make amends with her Qing Bai.

But Zhou Qing Bai had not said anything.

So in the evening, Lin Qing He finished tutoring Da Wa on his homework and let the eldest two to sleep tight and then returned with San Wa.

San Wa was still a little young, so in winter, he slept with her and Zhou Qing Bai.

The two big ones were fine, they can sleep by themselves.

Last year, Da Wa found out that his parents weren't sleeping in the middle of the night and were fighting. That shouldn't happen for the second time.

San Wa was ecstatic that he was able to sleep with his parents. After lying on the Kang for a while, the little one drowsed off.

When Zhou Qing Bai came in from outside, he saw that his wife and his youngest son were already asleep.

Zhou Qing Bai took off his clothes and went to sleep on the Kang.

Then he felt that his wife was obviously wearing nothing.

This caused Zhou Qing Bai's adam's apple to bob and his voice became a little husky, but his words were still upright: "Wear some clothes to sleep, don't catch a cold."

"Qing Bai." Lin Qing He wrapped him up like a snake girl.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say a word, his heartbeat was undoubtedly speeding up. Then Zhou Qin Bai enjoyed some wonderful affair between people that night.

Lin Qing He exert her whole effort into it, still, she became too tired in the end and got held in Qing Bai's embrace.

"Is your anger gone?" Lin Qing He asked feebly.

She was using flesh repayment for a personal debt.

"En." Zhou Qing Bai's contented voice sounded from above her head.

Lin Qing He whispered: "My maternal family's ties have been severed by me. I just got you and the children left. I have nothing but you."

"We'll protect you." Zhou Qing Bai hugged her and responded.

Lin Qing He grinned. She was indeed tired. She let Zhou Qing Bai grabbed the clothes and put them on for her. Then she fell asleep.

Zhou Qing Bai was also very satisfied with his arms around his wife.

Divorce, impossible. Not happening in this life.

As expected, Lin Qing He woke up late the next morning.

When she woke up, Zhou Qing Bai was already fed along with the three boys.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had also eaten.

They ate boiled sweet potatoes with porridge soup and a plate of fried pork and cucumber.

Lin Qing He didn't expect to wake so late. After waking up, she was a little embarrassed to see that Mother Zhou was still there.

"It's been working hard on you during this trip. Go have breakfast and then rest again." Mother Zhou urged.

Lin Qing He nodded and went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, she rode her bike and came to see Sister Mei.

I went without saying that Lin Qing He had given her a head-up about not coming to pick up the meat last time. Now that she was coming over to pick up the meat, she naturally had to come over to give a notification.

"That's fine. Come and get it next year." Sister Mei immediately replied to her.

These days, the family lost a good chunk of money due to Lin Qing He not coming to get the meat. This had Sister Mei, who was used to taking the income, a bit unsettled. She almost turned into a statue that looks into the distance when looking forward to Lin Qing He's visit.

Lin Qing He came into agreement with her and then she came to the community's supply and demand cooperative to look around. She bought two jins of eggs and other supplies, and then went home.

She had checked before going out. Half of the eggs she left behind remained. That was due to Mother Zhou's lifestyle. Now she was back, the eggs at home will be depleted quickly.

Lin Qing He rode her bicycle back home and Zhou Qing Bai had yet to return.

"Where did your father go?" Lin Qing He asked Er Wa and San Wa who were playing at the entrance.

"Father took the tractor and went to the city with Grandpa secretary." Er Wa knew the answer and replied.

"Why go to the city?" Lin Qing He was surprised.

"I don't know, ask Father when he comes back." Er Wa shook his head.

"Mother, are there any delicious pastries?" San Wa still had his mind on this.

Lin Qing He went in and grabbed him a piece. Seeing that he had it, Er Wa immediately said that he wanted it too.

Each were given one and dismissed. Lin Qing He started cooking.

The main was mantou.

After wandering around for a while, she had an explanation for the meat that she got out of the space. It wasn't much. A cut of three liang (150g) of meat was chopped into mince and braised with eggplant.

With the addition of a scrambled egg, lunch was mostly sorted.

However, Zhou Qing Bai wasn't back for lunch. He didn't come back until the evening. Judging by the village's branch secretary and the leader's glowing face, it seemed like her Qing Bai had done a meritorious service?

When the village's branch secretary left, Lin Qing He asked, "What did you guys do today? The branch secretary and the leader seemed very happy. What honor did the team get?"

The only thing that can make the village's branch secretary and the leade so happy was most likely one possibility.

"Our team's harvest settlement received a good evaluation." Zhou Qing Bai nodded and answered.

Chapter 134. Tempt them to death


Lin Qinghe, who had left, naturally didn't witness happy the little old lady’s son, daughter-in-law, and her grandson was when they came home to see so many food coupons, pork, and flour.

It was the national food coupons given. The meat was good meat, and the flour were also wheat flour. The transaction was really unusual.

The little old lady even regretted it a little bit. She should have collected more.

However, she knew the girl would definitely not come again.

After all, this kind of matter was unique.

Lin Qing He was in a very good mood along the way.

This time she gained a total of eight large gold bars, as well as six pieces of jade, two jade hairpins, a gold bracelet, and an antique bottle.

These were all good stuff.

Of course, Lin Qing He was very clear that these things weren't that little old lady's possessions. They were all picked up from the outside.

So she didn't think it wrong to exchange with the things in her possession.

Because of the current kind of situation with the next seven or eight years included, these yellow and white things can't be circulated.

Being able to change so many things into her possession wasn't bad value.

Because of winter, the things she gave were obviously more useful.

Lin Qing He merrily returned to the guest house. Once she was back, she saw Zhou Qing Bai sitting on the bed waiting for her.

Seeing her coming back, Zhou Qing Bai stood up at once.

Lin Qing He immediately warned: "I will remind first. The thing I hate most is domestic violence. If you dare to touch me, our marriage definitely won't work out!"

Zhou Qing Bai forcefully pulled this heartless woman, who was away for one morning and left him alone here, into his embrace.

Lin Qing He was relieved when she saw that he was just hugging her, not trying to hit her. Because she collected so much gold and precious jade, her life in the future had some guarantee, so Lin Qing He was also in a good mood.

She returned the hug and said, "Didn't I leave a note for you? Why are you still so worried about me? I was just going out to relax."

"I'm worried." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

He knew very clearly how the situation outside was. He didn't have any connections here, so if anything happened, he couldn't protect her.

"Let's go back?" Zhou Qing Bai looked at her.

He really wanted to go back. There was nothing good about having a trip. Initially, he had wanted to check his body, but now he knew that the reason was not with him, then there was really no reason to stay.

"OK." Lin Qing He readily agreed.

Although things collected weren't much, the result was still pleasing.

Most importantly, that kind of gold bar, afraid it was about one jin (500g). If not, then seven or eight liang (350-400g). In the future, one can't get this without one hundred thousand yuan.

She collected so many pieces, it was almost a million.

And there was other stuff.

So Lin Qing He was elated.

Zhou Qing Bai immediately booked a ticket for tomorrow. Lin Qing He was taken aback: "So fast?"

"Better to return early." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her.

Outside, he always felt like she was going to run, so he didn't want to be outside. Not one bit at all. His mind was set on going back to the village.

"Alright, you are the family head. What you say is what goes." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai's expression looked a lot better. But after booking the ticket, he was still pulled into shopping by Lin Qing He.

They bought the capital's eight known goods as souvenirs for the children to eat.

As for other things, there was nothing else to buy.

The next day Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went to catch their ride.

After the last experience, Lin Qing He was scared before she even sat this time round. Despite being scared, what can she do? She still needed to return.

During the journey, Lin Qing He was a little irritable and her mood was very bad. It can't be helped, it was really suffocating to ride.

But still, this was what she wanted.

Who told her to take advantage of this time to come and collect things that would later make a fortune? This was the price.

Lin Qing He had to admit that this was really exhausting.

"We'll be home soon." Zhou Qing Bai comforted her.

Lin Qing He peered at him and said, "Did you let that matter go?"

"I did." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

If he didn’t, what then? His wife had already done the ligation, so he had to let it go.

Otherwise, he would have lost his wife.

And compared to other things, he obviously wanted his wife to accompany him. Forever be with him.

Lin Qing He nodded and comforted him: "Actually, having the three boys is enough. You were at the force, so you didn't know how hard it was for me to take care of them all alone. All-day, it was non-stop busyness, like a spinning top. When I look back, the household was still messy, so I did such irrational things. I really regret it afterward."

Only when everyone was calm, can they communicate properly.

How could Zhou Qing Bai possibly know that none of the words out of his wife was hearable? It was said that if the words from a woman's mouth can be believed, then the female pig can climb up the tree.

Needless to say, the above was made up by Lin Qing He.

It all came from the experience of her colleagues in her last life.

But it didn't prevent her from using it. White lies can still be forgiven.

After all, this matter can't be changed. At least she can't change it herself.

Zhou Qing Bai accepted her explanation.

He was clear that his mother had a bad relationship with her in the past, so she basically didn't give much lend of a hand. She took care of three children by herself, so it was understandable that she couldn't handle it.

What's more, unable to have another child was already a thing of the past, so there was no need to talk about it.

Since they frankly communicated with each other, Lin Qing He was naturally feeling happier. But even so, the transportation back caused her to be dizzy.

When they arrived in the city, Lin Qing He proposed to rest for one night and then go ride the bus back home tomorrow.

Zhou Qing Bai had no objection. The two of them rested in the city for one night. The next morning, they took the bus back to the county town.

Their luck was great. It just happened that a tractor was returning to the production team. The two hopped on the tractor back to the village.

It goes without saying, the fact that Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He went on a trip couldn't be concealed. The couple was not at home. At night, Father Zhou went over to take care of the boys.

As for Mother Zhou, she had no time to go as she still had to care for Little Su Cheng since he needed to be brought over to Third Sister-in-law for breastfeeding.

Even if they know, they still didn't where the couple went and why.

Seeing their parents return, the three mischievous boys were overjoyed.

While Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He was away for a short while, the village talked a lot of gossips. And they said all kinds of things. Naturally, the boys heard of it.

Especially when they heard that Lin Qing He was not in good health and was seriously ill, it made the three of them anxious with worry.

Now seeing their parents coming back safely, it was natural to be happy.

They didn't even have the mind to care about the capital's eight known goods that were brought back and gathered around their parents to feel their presence.

Lin Qing He spoke to them, assured the boys, and sent them off.

Then they took out the exquisitely delicious capital's eight known goods and ate them outside. This was the snacks their parents brought back.

So scrumptious, they almost swallowed their tongue.

Tempt them to death. See who would dare to gossip about their parents!

Chapter 133. The big exchange


Zhou Qing Bai didn't know how he turned into the one being at fault in this situation in the end.

When sleeping at night, she would not even let him hug her.

The next morning, he went out to buy breakfast and came back to a piece of paper left by her, saying, ‘I will come back when you thought it through! ’

This made Zhou Qing Bai's face changed at once.

Immediately, he dashed downstairs to find his wife in a panic, but was stopped by that ma'am: "Boy, come over here."

Zhou Qing Bai restrained his anxiousness and said, "What's the matter, ma'am?"

"Off to find your wife?" the ma'am, who was cleaning, said with a smile.

"Ma'am knows where she went?" Zhou Qing Bai asked immediately.

"Your wife asked me to tell you that you don't have to go out to find her. She will come back when she wants to. You can't find her when you go out," replied the ma'am.

Zhou Qing Bai took a deep breath and said, "What did else did my wife say?"

"Your wife also said, let you think about the matter between you two. Ponder in the room, while you wait for her to come back. She just feels suffocated and went out shopping." Ma'am answered.

Zhou Qing Bai really was really at wit's end with his wife.

Observing him acting like this, the ma'am smiled: "Do you want to talk to me? Why are you quarreling? Maybe I can give you a trick or two."

Toward Zhou Qing Bai, who was tall and well-raised and was obviously a man who had served as a soldier, a woman at the age like this ma'am would naturally have fondness. And she saw how pretty Lin Qing He was and how coherently she spoke.

So she still wanted to help persuade reconciliation.

"I don't know how I made her displeased. I can't even reason with her." Zhou Qing Bai felt full of grievance.

He wasn't officially angry yet and she became angry first.

The ma'am chuckled: "You boy. You can't reason with your own wife. When fighting with your wife, you can't talk with reason. You must admit you're in the wrong at once. Even when it's not your fault, it's still your fault. When your wife is wrong, you still have to admit your mistake. There’s no room for reason, understood?"

Zhou Qing Bai was stunned for a moment. He was unable to comprehend what was said at all.

"Boy, your road is still very long. Walk slowly, and you will realize it later." The ma'am could his confusion and didn't continue. She went back to her mopping with a smile.

Naturally, Lin Qing He didn't know that Zhou Qing Bai met with this experience.

She came here to find the little old lady, so she took the opportunity while Zhou Qing Bai was out. If not, what could she do with him following her?

If the little old lady had the heart to trade, with one day time she would definitely have the stuff prepared.

Sure enough, when she came over to ask the little old lady for water, the little old lady led her into the house.

"Girl, what did we say yesterday, does it still count?" asked the little old lady in a hushed voice.

Lin Qing He nodded: "It still counts today, but after today, it doesn't."

The little old lady said: "Come with me."

Lin Qing He followed the little old lady out, came over to a firewood pile. The little lady squatted down to start collecting firewood.

"Ma'am, winter at our side is really cold." Lin Qing He saw it with her sharp eyes and said.

It was impossible to put this kind of thing in the house. It can be justified when outside. If it was found in the house, then they can't escape.

"That can't do. It's really freezing." responded the little old lady.

"I'll give you a hand." Lin Qing He said and crouched down.

Then a gold bar was tucked into her hold. Lin Qing He immediately threw it into her fabric bag. In total, there were seven gold bars and five jade pieces of unknown quality, but it looked very unusual. Lin Qing He threw them all into the fabric bag.

"The vase is too big. I didn't take it. I just got these for you." The little old lady whispered.

"Ma'am, you don't have to busy yourself. You don't have to boil water for me, just pour cold water for me." Lin Qing He said.

"Then come in." The little old lady carried a bundle of firewood into the yard, and then entered the house.

Lin Qing He gave her six national food coupons. Each of them was about five jins, a total of thirty jins of national food coupons here.

Seeing so many food coupons, the little lady's eyes fired out a ray of light.

Thirty jins of national food coupons can be exchanged for forty jins of food coupons on their side!

"Girl, do you still have it? This old lady recalled that I forgot to grab it for you." The little old lady put away her food coupons and said.

Lin Qing He: "..." Sure enough, ginger was spicier when older.

"I also brought three big white buns like yesterday's one. It's really delicious. Ma'am, don't know what you can exchange it for with me?" Lin Qing He looked at her.

The little old lady's eyes lit up. She was willing to do this transaction with Lin Qing He and that it was due to the contribution of yesterday's two big buns. That was extremely delicious.

The little old lady had never eaten such delicious buns in her life.

She immediately went out and sorted it out the firewood in the yard. When she came in again, she gave Lin Qing He two jade hairpins, a gold bracelet, and several other gold bars!

There was also a small antique bottle!

Didn't the little old lady say no more? She really lied to her!

"Three buns aren't enough." The little old lady whispered.

Lin Qing He accepted these things, put them in her fabric bag, took out the three buns, and whispered, "I will take the things out first. Ma'am, wait here for me."

"How will I know you'll come back?" said the little old lady.

"Ma'am, you look down on me if you say that." Lin Qing He laughed.

The little old lady thought of her action from yesterday and nodded: "Then this old woman will believe you once."

Lin Qing He carried the bottle out and said, "This bottle is just right to be used as a chamber pot."

She took it out so openly, it didn't raise any suspicion.

Judging by her behavior, others didn't take it seriously. Gotta say, there really were a few people who use this bottle as a chamber in this era.
After entering an empty alley, Lin Qing He immediately collected these precious treasures into the space.

This bottle must be a genuine article!

Other things were also withdrawn into the space and then two jins of pork, five jins of flour, and a bit of cold medicine were taken out of the space.

Today, only the little old lady was at home. This must be the little old lady preparing for the off-chance and avoid getting her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson involved. The child still had a cold.

This cold medicine was a gift to him from her.

These things were carried over to the little old lady. The little lady's eyes had fireworks, especially on the two jins of pork!

How long had it been since the family had eaten meat!

Lin Qing He didn't care about the rest. After instructing to eat the cold medicine after meals three times, she left. She cleanly took off and walked away without any hesitation.

She didn't know the little old lady. (a.k.a she's a stranger now, never met before kind.)

Chapter 132. Quarrel


The cost of two buns and mantou counts as non-refundable expenses. Lin Qing He didn't mind.

She told the little old lady that she'll come over to hold the transaction tomorrow. She ate on her own outside and returned to the guest house.

Zhou Qing Bai was already in the room when she came back. He was obviously relieved to see her coming back.

But still remained silent with a solemn face.

"I know this is my fault, but you also know that at that time I didn't have any feelings for you at all. I thought to give you three children was enough, so I went out of my mind." Lin Qing He explained.

Zhou Qing Bai's face became even darker.

"But then when you came back, I didn’t know when I started to feel that it was wonderful to marry you after interacting with each other day in, day out. Although you don't know to speak pleasing words and don’t come up with romantic things to make me happy, you have been quietly devoting yourself for the family and quietly shouldered the responsibilities of the family." Lin Qing He continued.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her.

"At that time, I didn't find myself falling in love with you. When you came back, I sent you to sleep next door. Feelings aren't things that won't be produced when I don't want them to be produced. Inevitably, I fell in love with you when I got along with you. When you said you wanted a daughter, I actually regretted it. I didn't know how to say it to you." Lin Qing He stared at him.

Zhou Qing Bai said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" (T/N: Anyone watch 90 days fiance? Doesn't this problem seem familiar?)

"I want to tell you earlier, but I can't say it out. I know how much you want a daughter, but I already did it. What else can I do? I'm silently looking forward to seeing if you have the ability to make the ligated me pregnant." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai's face was dark again.

Lin Qing He really thought like this. If he had the ability to impregnate her, who got ligation,, she would definitely give birth.

However, Zhou Qing Bai obviously didn't accept it.

So Lin Qing He began to apologize with her body.

Initially, Zhou Qing Bai wanted to ignore her as his anger hadn't disappeared, not even one bit.

But this woman really knew how to use techniques, so he couldn't hold it back and punished her fiercely in this way.

When he was done, he still appeared to be mad.

"There should be a limit, ok?" Lin Qinghe felt she made a huge sacrifice. And seeing that he wanted to continue to give attitude at her when he was finished, she won't agree.

She was the victim herself from beginning to end. It was because she liked him and loved him, she comforted him instead.

If he didn’t understand when to stop, then she'll be angry too. See who's more fierce then!

Zhou Qing Bai was pushed to the edge by her, and she actually used this tone!

He simply turned around.

Lin Qing He smiled: "Zhou Qing Bai, you gaining ability ah! I've been coaxing you for so long, and you still aren't toning it down. Then you should act more straightforward. What do you want? If you want to get a divorce or something, fine then. But let me tell you one thing first, I don’t want any of the three children. You can raise them yourself."

This was impossible. It was just scaring the man.

Zhou Qing Bai turned around and glared at her: "You want to divorce?"

"Isn't it what you want? I said I was wrong. And you still keep at it? I already regret it. After I fell in love with you, I regret it. So regretful that it can't be treated, do you know it?" Lin Qing He said .

"I don't think you have the mind of being in the wrong!" Zhou Qing Bai responded.

Lin Qing He was conscious that she was never patient and her patience was almost used now. She declared: "Go back and go through the formalities then. I can't have a baby with you anymore. You can go find a young and beautiful one to have a baby with you. As for the boys, let them choose who they want to be with. If they want to be with you, then I have nothing to say."

A good-tempered man like Zhou Qing Bai was nearly angered to death by her.

This woman wouldn't stop if she didn't enrage him to death!

Without speaking, he stared at Lin Qing He with a black face.

Lin Qing He threw an eye-roll at him and flipped over to sleep. The wolf tossed her so hard just now that she was so tired. And she had to coax him, no way.

If want to be angry, then be angry since she won't be angry anyway.

Zhou Qing Bai watched she drowsy off so heartlessly. It really made him so angry that he couldn't help but laugh.

Did he really such a conscience-less woman?

She decided on such a big matter on her own and won't allow him to be angry. After coaxing him for a bit, she ran out of patience.

What's more, she thought about getting a divorce and didn't even want the children!

Zhou Qing Bai felt he had a headache.

Seeing that the time wasn't early and it was past noon, Zhou Qing Bai said: "Get up and we're eating out."

"Go eat by yourself. I'm annoyed just by seeing you." Lin Qing He drowsily mumbled a reply and it was particularly clear.

Zhou Qing Bai really felt his inside hurt. This cruel woman really didn't stop without stabbing him a few times.

Even so. Zhou Qing Bai still finished his meal and brought a share back for her.

It was just that Lin Qing He had eaten by herself, so she refused to eat what he brought back: "Eat it yourself, I can't afford to have your food."

Listen to this. Simply throwing a temper tantrum with him. It became his fault now.

"Get up and eat." Zhou Qing Bai said. No matter what, she mustn't starve herself. A quarrel was a quarrel, the stomach still had to be full.

"No appetite." Lin Qing He's voice had already begun to carry impatience.

Zhou Qing Bai never knew how to appease a woman, so he pursed his lips and stood by the bed watching her.

Lin Qing He continued to sleep on her own, letting this man think about it, whether she wanted her or her belly (a.k.a a child). So she ignored Zhou Qing Bai.

Zhou Qing Bai could only eat two servings on his own. It was only when he saw her let it cool and didn't eat it, did he eat it.

Lin Qing He slept until five o'clock in the evening before getting up and getting ready to eat out.
Zhou Qing Bai followed. Lin Qing He glanced at him: "Don't follow me!"

To not follow her, that can't do. Today he came back to see that she wasn’t there in the guest house. He didn't want to experience that panic again.

"You couple quarreled ah?" A ma'am of the guest house laughed when she saw them.

"Ma'am misunderstood. Why would we argue?" Lin Qing He smiled.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't speak.

The couple went out for dinner.

Although Zhou Qing Bai wasn't hungry, he still had a meal with her. Shepherd's purse dumplings tasted pretty good.

At this time, there was really no place to visit in the capital. After finishing, Lin Qing He wanted to go back to the guest house.

"Walk with me." Zhou Qing Bai sighed lightly.

Lin Qing He glanced at him. In the end, her heart softened, so she followed him. But seeing him remained silent after walking for a long time, Lin Qing He said, "Go by yourself!"
