BTTS 238




Chapter 238. Going back to see her husband


Wang Li's face was black.

Lin Qing He smiled and said: "We are in a dorm and everyone will live together for a few years. So what should be done and what should not be done, I believe everyone knows well as we are all adults."

"If you don't ask for permission, it's stealing!" Wang Li snorted.

"What are you saying? How did it become stealing?" Chen Xue immediately retorted in displeasure: "I ran out of mine, so I borrow yours. Everyone is in the same dorm. No need to put it so seriously?"

"Have you asked me? Did I agree to let you or what? You used my things without permission and I can't tell you off?" Wang Li sneered.

"It's only once, no need to be so angry," other dorm mates dissuaded.

"It's not a problem of using it once. Soap is a personal item. Just like a toothbrush and enamel cup. You can't use it without permission," Lin Qing He neutral stated.

It had happened to her one. That time had her feel disgusted. She didn't know who used it. After that time, she put them away after finishing with them.

"You two have always been together, so naturally you are on her side." Chen Xue gritted her teeth.

"Don't change the topic. Now that you used Wang Li's stuff, shouldn't you apologize? And promise you will not use other people's stuff next time?" Lin Qing He said.

She suspected that Chen Xue was the one who used her stuff with permission last time. This kind of person was truly annoying. They can frankly ask them if they can use it. If they say it's OK, then borrow it. If not, then leave it.

Lin Qing He found this habit of using other's stuff without permission was detestable.

"Apologize!" Wang Li swept her gaze towards Chen Xue.

It went without saying that Chen Xue was unwilling. But in the end, she apologized aggrievedly as if someone had treated her wrongly.

Lin Qing He and Wang Li put things away and went out to eat.

"Going to the countryside to train for so many years and she still behaved like this. Like someone owes her." Wang Li mocked.

Lin Qing He chuckled. However, she was a little confused, and said, "She's not young anymore. Why is she single?"

"What single? I don't know what she is planning when she said she's not married yet." Wang Li whispered.

"What do you mean?" Lin Qing He was taken aback.

"Someone in our department came from her community knows her. Her man is a son of the community's director and she gave birth to a son and a daughter." Wang Li told.

"She got children and still do this?" Lin Qing He frowned.

When Wang Li saw that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "I saw her getting close to another man yesterday."

Reaching this point, it dawned on Lin Qing He.

"She doesn't want people to know her past and start anew." Lin Qing He said.

This time it was Wang Li's turn to be stumped, "What does it mean to start anew?"

"Abandon the husband and children." Lin Qing He straightforwardly answered.

Wang Li was stunned. Although she was an urban educated youth who was sent to the countryside, she was still a simple and traditional person. When she heard this, she was shocked.

But what Lin Qinghe said was a completely reasonable guess. Otherwise, why would Chen Xue tell people that she was single?

And also liked to interact with other male students!

"How can... how can this be?" Wang Li couldn't help but say.

She can't accept this.

"Wasn't this year's college entrance examination's requirement married people can't participate? I estimate the number of divorce in the countryside is quite high." Lin Qing He continued talking.

"What to do then? Those who are married have children." Wang Li remarked.

"I don't know. It depends on whether one has a conscience or not. Wang Li, we can't learn from them. The children we birthed after so much difficulty, we can't just let them go like that." Lin Qing He said.

Wang Li said, "How could I possibly do that? I don't want to experience the pain of giving birth a second time in my life."

She gave birth to one, a son. Even though it was only one, she didn't want to have another child.

Lin Qing He smiled and nodded: "Hurry up and eat. Let's go for a walk after eating. This period had taken a toll on me."

After eating with Wang Li, they washed the food box and strolled outside. They bought some tomatoes back to snack on.

Although there were some conflicts in the dormitory life, it was generally tolerable.


Up to the summer vacation, Lin Qing He hadn't planned to go back. However, she missed Zhou Qin Bai too much. Her two sons were secondary.

Da Wa didn't want to go back. Lin Qing He let him be. Since he wants to stay in the capital, then stay.

Lin Qing He bought some things, and then she took them back to Zhoujia village.

The ride back was uncomfortable. But for her own man, she must preserve.

After returning to the county town a few days later, she first headed to Zhou Xiao Mei's place to stay for one night. Su Da Lin cooked up a feast.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Xiao Mei were chatting while he was cooking. Lin Qing He had given this side one prepared box of the capital's 8 specialties.

"Did Da Wa come back?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"Said he doesn't want to come back, so I let him stay over there." Lin Qing He smilingly answered.

She left 30 yuan for Da Wa. Enough for him to spend away.

Lin Qing He's way of teaching her son never included constraining them. So her sons got their own ideas and do what should be done. It was fine as long as they don't stick to her and their father.


"Aren't you unaccustomed to it?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"There's nothing to be unaccustomed to. It's almost the same as here. But for the sake of Cheng Cheng and the others, I suggest moving there in the future." Lin Qing He said.

Needless to say, education in the capital was the best in the country. What's more, it was easier to settle down in the early stage.

"Once move there, we got no way to make a living." It wasn't that Zhou Xiao Mei didn't consider moving to the capital, she had concerns too.

"With for brother-in-law's culinary skills, what are you worried about? When the time comes, sell buns and mantou. You won't lose any money." Lin Qing He assured.

"How can you make money with that?" Zhou Xiao Mei responded.

"You still don't understand. I will explain it to you in the future. You and brother-in-law live here for now. Wait until the conditions is right first before we discuss again." Lin Qing He said.

In the evening, she had filled her stomach and rested for one night. Then early the next morning, she borrowed Zhou Xiao Mei's bike to go home.

Originally, she wanted to walk back, but Zhou Xiao Mei had her to cycle back and just bring it back for her when she had time. She got Su Da Lin to make a detour and drop her off when going to work. It took less than ten minutes.

So Lin Qing He didn't hold back.

When Lin Qing He returned home, Zhou Qing Bai had already gone to work.

Er Wa and San Wa had also gone to school. However, Mother Zhou was at home. She was feeding chickens in the backyard.

"Fourth's wife?"

Seeing Lin Qing He coming back, Mother Zhou came to a pause. She immediately became surprised with delight.
