Chapter 174. In the middle of the night
Also, there was her five work points and 13 yuan salary.
Within this whole village, her family's life can't go badly.
What's more, since Lin Qing He became a teacher herself and her income was apparent on the surface, her initial order of three bottles of milk turned into four bottles.
Neither Father Zhou nor Mother Zhou got a share. The extra bottle was for Zhou Qing Bai.
Zhou Qing Bai didn't plan on drinking it. He urged her to drink it herself, but Lin Qing He didn't agree.
Even though his body wasn't in serious trouble now, Lin Qing He could never forget that his body had been severely injured.
Also, this man had a reticent person, even if he felt uncomfortable, he won't say anything.
Lin Qing He knew him very well.
She had often urged him to earn seven or eight work points, but he had never listened.
That's why Lin Qing He did her utmost to give him three proper meals a day. She feared that he would gain unseeable pain.
When they get old, good days will also arrive. She didn't want him to miss out on a good life.
As for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, she won't bother.
It's not that she didn't want to buy it, but rather the two won't be pleased if she bought it. She needed to get approval from them, so Lin Qing He didn't even mention about buying it for both of them. That's why she only ordered an extra bottle for Zhou Qing Bai. What's more, she had to watch him down it before going to work.
Zhou Qing Bai was also helpless about this.
On the other hand, Mother Zhou was quite delighted in her heart, because she could see how Fourth's wife took care of her youngest son.
She was more attentive than her, the mother.
And this was also the money earned by Fourth's wife, so Father Zhou and Mother Zhou didn't say anything.
Zhou Qing Bai received the same treatments as his sons, drinking a bottle of milk every day. Even the villagers knew this.
But seeing how Zhou Qing Bai's rosy complexion and gleaming eyes, they were envious.
Some wives had lamented. They privately muttering about Zhou Qing Bai's capability in that area, as if they had experienced it and often envy Lin Qing He.
Lin Qing He, who was being envied, didn't know that she was envied.
And on the contrary, she requested Zhou Qing Bai to do it in moderation.
Especially when the annual autumn harvest arrived in the blink of an eye.
At the end of this month, the horn of the autumn harvest was going to be sounded.
At this time, it'll be extremely busy. The school also got a break. Usually, there were classes in the morning and received a break in the afternoon to participate in the autumn harvest to earn work points.
No matter if it was the primary school or junior high school, it was like this.
In the autumn harvest season, nothing was more important than the autumn harvest.
From now on, Lin Qing He had already had the mind to nourish Zhou Qing Bai.
Tomorrow morning she will have to go to Sister Mei to get the meat. In addition to leftovers, she had also ordered two jins of pork belly.
As for the meat in her space, there was really not much left to eat.
Zhou Qing Bai and Father Zhou came back with Da Wa and Er Wa. After they cleaned up, the whole family gathered together to eat.
Scrambled eggs with tomato were the main dish. With the rice soaked in soup, it was sour and sweet. Ah, how wonderful it tasted.
There was also a sponge gourd and bone soup to drink. The taste was also pretty good.
The whole family was very satisfied.
"Father, Mother, when you go back later, remember to take the eight-treasure congee I packed for you back." Lin Qinghe said.
She had made eight-treasure congee today.
There was only one bowl per person.
"Okay." Father Zhou responded.
After eating, their family went back. Mother Zhou didn't stay behind. She led little Su Xun and Father Zhou back with the food box of eight-treasure congee.
Little Su Cheng stayed at their home. He would eat and live with his three cousins now.
The little guy became round from eating. Have to say, he wasn't treated badly at all.
"I'm going to buy peanut oil in the city tomorrow. Do you have anything else you want to eat?" Lin Qing He asked Zhou Qing Bai.
"Buy yourself some vanishing cream." Zhou Qing Bai looked at her as he replied.
He had nothing to buy for himself.
Lin Qing He laughed: "I did apply the cream I bought for myself every day."
She had brought some skin care products over. There was still a lot left. As for the vanishing cream, she really didn't use it.
Zhou Qing Bai looked at her: "Swimming tonight?"
He loved to swim, but his wife won't let him go in broad daylight.
He stripped until one pant was left. Then, when he got up from the water, everything was completely visible. Lin Qing He didn't want some women in the village, who were held improper thought, to benefit at all.
So generally speaking, Zhou Qing Bai only went swimming at night.
"Go by yourself." Lin Qing He said.
Though she said this, she still went with Zhou Qing Bai to the riverside after nine o'clock in the evening, when it was almost dead at night and the children at home were all asleep.
There was really no one at this time.
But even so, Lin Qing He still entered the water fully dressed. For her, it was enough to soak at the side.
Zhou Qing Bai went swimming.
Then he came back to carry her out. Naturally, the couple would play around in the river.
If people caught sight of this, they would really comment, 'what atrocious behavior!'.
They really didn't do anything, it was just a couple sticking close in the water.
After the couple stayed for more than half an hour, Lin Qing He hid again to change into her clothes. Then she returned home with Zhou Qing Bai.
Only halfway home, they heard a sound that shouldn't be heard in that small wood
"Someone is stealing people ?" Lin Qing He opened her eyes wide and whispered.
Zhou Qing Bai obviously didn't expect this kind of sound in the middle of the night, and said: "Let's go back."
He clearly didn't want to get involved.
"No, I'm going to see who it is." Lin Qing He responded immediately.
She didn't plan to expose the person. She wanted to know who it was, so she could be on guard!
Seeing her like this, Zhou Qing Bai could only stealthily bring her over. Zhou Qing Bai checked first, and immediately covered his wife's eyes.
Lin Qing He had yet to see anything when Zhou Qing Bai pulled her away.
After putting a good distance away from the scene, Lin Qing He asked, "Qing Bai, who were they?"
It was really unfair. He didn't let her see at a glance, while he did.
"Old Ma's Third wife and Old Ma's Fourth." Zhou Qing Bai said.
"Huh?" Lin Qing He was shocked.
She knew who was Third Ma's wife. It was Wang Ling, who had a very good relationship with Second Sister-in-law. She often talked bad about her.
She actually had an affair with her younger brother-in-law?
Speaking of it, old Fourth Ma was twenty this year. Apparently, he was in the middle of seeking marriage. While Wang Ling was already 27 or 28 years old!
Moreover, the two were really bold. At this period, they dared to do this. They will be criticized. This was adultery and can get shaved yin and yang heads!
The price was too harsh.
Even though Lin Qing He disliked Wang Ling, modern education didn't allow her to break her bottom line.
So even when she knew of this matter, Lin Qing He treated like she hadn't.
Also, there was her five work points and 13 yuan salary.
Within this whole village, her family's life can't go badly.
What's more, since Lin Qing He became a teacher herself and her income was apparent on the surface, her initial order of three bottles of milk turned into four bottles.

How audacious Wang Lin was to commit adultery! Even though Lin Qing He didn't blabber it out, I hope she would be caught together with her young brother-in-law
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I'm sorry but I couldn't use the new feature you added :( I tried hovering my cursor over the sentences but didn't show me anything. Should I try changing my browser? I use Chrome
I use chrome too, but it works just fine. At first, I was wondering what this new feature looked like. I was expecting to fine something that looks out of place like maybe a decorated or colored rectangle. But, it turns out to be just your good old white rectangle that completely blends in with your computer. A one rectangle version of the many rectangles when you right click.
DeleteI've tried it haha thank you! I needs to really and really slowly move the cursor over the lined sentences to be able to read the remark
DeleteThank you for the chapter!!!
ReplyDeleteLin QingHe did a good job not letting him swim in the morning(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧. But isn't it cold to swim at night? I heard that it isn't good to shower with cold water at night because your body would be cold, like your feet. It could cause disease. But then again....They exercise after that so maybe it's fine٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶.
The water at night is warmer than the morning but the breeze sure is cold.
DeleteIt’s still summer
DeleteWell, that was... not much surprising after all. Wang Ling kinda looked like a cheater of some sort. I don’t want LQH to get involved with something like this. It’d be better if she got caught for her own carelessness. That’d be much more satisfying for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
Я вначале подумала, что они услышали чей-то плач или звуки драки. Я подумала, начался внезапно экшн или приключение.
ReplyDeleteВан Ли - рисковая женщина. В ту эпоху вся тяжесть измены ложилась на женщину. Даже если тебе изменяет муж, то ты виновата. Но если женщина изменяет мужу, то... Особенно, если учесть жестокость китайцев. Я помню, в детстве я наткнулась на сборник китайских сказок. Я была в шоке от их жестокости: то съесть симпатичных зверей, то вырвать себе глаз из-за того, что не распознал чей-то талант.
IN case any1 is wondering⬆️
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that they heard someone crying or the sounds of a fight. I wondered if an action or adventure had suddenly begun. Wang Li is a risky woman. In that era, the entire burden of treason fell on the woman. Even if your husband is cheating on you, then you are to blame. But if a woman is unfaithful to her husband, then ... Especially considering the cruelty of the Chinese. I remember when I was a child I came across a collection of Chinese fairy tales. I was shocked by their cruelty: either to eat cute animals, or to tear out my own eye because I did not recognize someone's talent.
Lol, MC doesn’t want others to partake in her man. Jealous type 😂
ReplyDelete"someone is stealing people?" The author really got me fooled. I really though some people were kidnapping people or something.
